JUDGE ALBERT J.
CORNISH
Candidate for
Supreme Court Judge
--
I -V
Judge Cornish has served 21 years as District Judge at Lincoln.
His ability, impartiality and fair-mindedness are proven by five
elections to the district bench by his neighbors.
Judge Cornish is in the prime of life, alert, vigorous, human,
a District Judge with an extraordinary record for decisions ap
proved by the Supreme Court.
Three judges are to be elected. Judge Cornish’s fitness for
Supreme Judge can easily be learned. Ask the lawyers in your
community.
Gleanings.
The fall so far has been an ideal one,
but there has been a little too much
high wind.
Threshing is neary wound up in this
community, and some of the farmers
are going to commence gathering corn
soon.
Everybody who can is sowing fall
wheat this fall, and no wonder with
wheat at $1.40 a bushel and flour at
$5.00 per hundred.
There has also been a large acreage
of fall rye sown in this locality, more
than usual.
W. S. Roberts threshed out about
* 1,000 bushels of Kherson oats last
Jr week which was the finets oats we
have seen this year. The yield was
about fifty bushels to the acre.
Orton Young has embarked in the
potato business, having had a carload
of spuds shipped in to sell to who ever
wants some. Potatoes was a light
crop here this year, therefore there is
a lot of farmers buying this year.
The writer is the owner of a camera,
and if The Frontier wants some rural
scenes all he has to do is to let ye
scribe know about it.
Some republicans in this community
are afraid that President Wilson is go
p ing to be elected. Don’t you worry
boys, President Wilson has made
blunders enough in his present term to
defeat a man with a stronger political
pull than he has, and among them is
one which will go down in history as
the most stupendous blunder of the
age. That act was the influencing of
congress to pass the eight hour law
for railroad employes, which is noth
ing less than a law increasing the
wages of all railroad employes, and if
that law is allowed to stand on the
statutes, every road in the country will
be forced to raise their rates in order
to meet the increased cost in wages.
The farmers then will be against him
for that, if for no other reason.
Hurrah for Hughes.
Talk about the increased cost of
living. If a campaign of “back to the
land movement” was carried on in all
tl.e big cities, and by the co-operation
of the federal government the landless
man could be placed on the manless
land, he would then become a producer
instead of a consumer which would
tend to lower the cost of livingiin this
country.
The flocking of young men to the
cities, should also be stopped, and to
this end, farmers’ institutes should be
held all over the corn try, and farmers
meetings in every school house in the
winter time.
Granted Pensions.
Hastings policemen and firemen
have eben granted a $5 monthly raise
by the city council. Both chiefs will
now receive $90 permonth and their
assistants $50.

f This is Not
A Moving Picture
The Heroine
Of My Story
By ESTHER VANDEVEER
Sitting at my desk one balmy spring
morning, rather than work I looked
out through the open window.
At a window opposite a woman per
haps midway between twenty-five and
thirty sat at a typewriter writing let
ters from stenographic notes. She was
dressed in mourning.
A sign of widowhood furnished food
for a story that 1 was weaving, with
her for the heroine. She was refined
looking and comely. Quite likely her
husband had left her in poverty, and
she wns eking out a miserable exist
ence by hammering a typewriter from
morning till night. I wondered if the
sleek looking man I saw in an ad
joinihg room, who seemed to be tin
manager, bad a wife and if be would
not fall in love with the widow and
make her comfortable. But when be
arose from his desk and stood with
his bauds in his pockets looking out
through the window I changed the
direction of my romance and hoped
if he did fall in love with the widow
she would refuse him. because 1 did
not like the expression on his fui e
There wns something malignant in it.
* * W * * » w
My story seems to be coming out as
I first planned it. While I was dream
lng this afternoon, instead of attending
to business, as I should have done, the
man in the next room to the widow
tapped a bell. The young widow arose
and, taking up her stenographic im
plements, disappeared to reappear in
his room. Taking a seat beside him,
she took down several different dicta
tions. Then when she was about to
leave he said something to her that
caused her to resume her seat.
From his averted gaze and the es«
pression on the man’s face I knew that
he was making love to her. And I also
knew from something, I knew not
what—but any woman will under
stand what I mean—that there was no
response to what he was saying. When
he ceased to speak she arose and he
took her hand, but she gently drew it
away and, without a word, left the
room. At her own window she faced
me just long enough for me to see that
she was not pleased.
• »**»•*
I have now been watching the widow
for a week, and it is evident that she
can marry any of the men connected
with the office she chooses, for they
all seem to be in love with her. I don’t
blame them, for if I were a man, and
not miserably poor, as I am, I would
march straight over to the office where
Bhe works and propose to her myself.
What troubles me'is that she won’t
do what I want her to do. I have
heard from authors that their charac
ters are at times very obstinate, and
now I find a case in point. There is
a man who I think would make her a
good husband. He comes in to the of
fice evidently on business nnd never
fails to get a few words with her. She
treats him with great consideration,
but I can see from the expression of
his face—he always faces the window
when he talks to her—that her replies
to what he says are disappointing.
• **•*•*
This morning there was a scene be
tween the manager and the widow. He
said something to her that sent her out
of his room. He followed her to her
desk, where she tvus putting on her
wraps, and he doubtless apologized, for
she took off her hat, which she had put
on, and was evidently pacified.
It is my opinion that the reason the
widow won’t marry any of her suitors
Is that her heart is buried in a grave.
I wish she would marry my favorite,
but she evidently gives him no en
couragement. He stood in one of the
windows facing me this morning, and
I so longed to give him encouragement
to persevere that I looked it, and I’m
afrolil T cmflatl
*******
I am very much displeased with my
self. The widow’s suitor at whom I
smiled encouragement came into the
office this morning, and I’m sure he
made a pretense of business in order
to see me. The manager brought him
up to me and introduced him, saying
to me that he had recommended me to
the man as one who would do some
work for" him. The stranger was very
polite and has a winning way.
*******
I shall never make a novelist, that’s
certain. My story of the widow turned
out entirely different from what I in
tended. It was all her fault. The
man I wanted her to marry she would
not hnve, and what do you think? I
had to console him by marrying him
myself. It seems that I was entirely
mistaken in my assumptions with re
gard to him. He was a cousin of hers,
though more like a brother. He says
that he one day caught sight of me at
my window and after that used to
come to see his cousin in order to see
me. I tell him I can’t swallow that.
But the widow. Fate was doing
things without my knowledge. One
morning a man in the uniform of an
officer of merchant marine burst into
her room and caught her in his arms.
She seemed to be in a swoon for a
time; then she cried over him and
caressed him, and I was sure he was
her husband come to life.
And so he was. His vessel had been
wrecked somewhere on the African
coast, and all on board had been either
lost or made slaves. It was a long
while before he attained his liberty, to
learn that he had been reported dead.
That was the last I saw of his wife
as a typewriter, though now we are
great friends.

Mrs. A. W. Porter, wife of A. W.
Porter, died at her home in Benson,
Neb., on October 4, 1916. The remains
were brought to this city last Friday
afternoon and interred in the Protes
tant cemetary.
Mary E. Champion was born at
Green Valley, Illinois, on Nevember 17,
1853, and would have been 65 years of
age next November. On September,
1868, she was united in marriage to
A. W. Porter. To this union twelve
children were born, eight of whom
survive. The children are: Mrs.
Julia Bressan, Benson, Neb.; Harry W.
Porter, Billings, Mont.; Mrs. Sadie
Robinson, Long Pine, Neb.; Mrs. Mar
garet Balger, Blair town, Iowa; Mrs.
William Gagahan, O’Neill; Clarence
Porter, Omaha; Mrs. Eunice Elbert,
Florence, Neb.; Mrs. Elsie Wagner,
Omaha, Neb.
Deceased came to this county with
her husband and family some thirty
years ago and they settled on a farm
near Ewing, where they lived for a
number of years. About twenty-three
years ago they moved to this city and
engaged in the hotel business, operat
ing very successfully what is now
known, as the Beha hotel for several
years. Mr. Porter also engaged in the
livery business here, after retiring
from the hotel business. About twelve
years ago they disposed of their in
terests here and moved to Omaha,
where they have since made their
home.
Mrs. Porter was a lovable lady and
made many friends during her resi
dence in this city who join in tendering
their sympathy to the sorrowing re

The Board of Education has under
consideration the teaching of ele
mentary vocal music in the grades
without the employment of an addi
tional teacher, and with only small ad
ditional expense. At least two of the
regular grade teachers are equipped to
give this instruction, but there is some
question as to whether or not the -
patrons desire it, and the undersigned,
as one member of the Board, would
like to have an expression from those (jj
interested. Many much smaller schools
in this state have special music
teachers, for many people think in
this century that if young men or
women, through lack of means or other
cause, have been so deprived of all
musical education as to be unable to
join in a social song or a religious or
patriotic hymn, they are more weak
ened in confidence and more out of the
modern game of life than if ignorant
of Latin or Geometry. Some children
must get this simple instruction in our
schools or they will never get it else
where. Personally this question may
not concern you any more than it does
me, but it will help somebody’s child
ren and in that way help us all, for “a
little leaven leavens the whole lump.”
If you are in favor of, or are
against, this proposition, let the Board
know before next Monday evening.
Mr. J. C. Harnish is Secretary of the
Board.

Vacuum Furnace
For five years the Vacuum Furnace has shown
the way to the field. We have plenty of imitators
today who ridiculed us four years ago but there is i
only one Vacuum Furnace. *
The vacuum principle of hot air heating is cor
rect, scientific, and practical. It heats perfectly with I
one-third to one-half less fuel than any pipe furnace, j
It is made of the finest new iron, heavy, sub- j
stantial, and of high quility throughout.
Imitations are being sold in most every form on
the recommendation that they are just as good as
the Vacuum. This may be true in some cases, but
The Vacuum has stood the test in every way.
It is just as cheap and a great deal safer to buy |
A Vacuum Furnace.
