Tho dispute over tho governorship of tho
state o( Nebraska haa excited n deal of com
ment all over tho country. Thcro has tcen
an untold amount of gossip, itpoculation and
political rancor but then) oro other points In
contention that are worthy tho calm ntten
tion of reflective people, now that the mutter
has been settled for good. Ouu of tho things
worthy of notlco Is tho fnct that tho law has
been respcted and rival claimants havo
bowed quietly and promptly in submission to
ltshlghesttrlbunal: tho supremo court. Gov.
Thayer yielded up thu olllco without ttnneees
tary trouble, only making a protest to main
tain and perhaps emphasize his rights. Mr.
Boyd in turn gracefully submitted to tho
dictum which displaced him. Tho changes
were made as icaccably, almost, as though a
political revolution were not In progreis, tho
sensational reorts of tho dally papers to tho
contrary notwithstanding. Itcvrtalnly was
a credit to Nebraskatis as n law-abiding
people.
Another fact is 'worthy of notice, too.
Go7. Thayer is undoubtedly tho most dis
tinguished Nebrnsknn living. Hundreds of
thousands of our peoplo aro comparatively
new comers and may not bo familiar with
the history of tho stato and its great men
away back to tho time that tried men's souls,
but the record of Gen. Thayer's Hfo sIiowb
tbat no has held greater honors and rendered
the stato more distinguished service than any
other of her citizens. It is a career to bo proud
of and the state can well bo proud of tho man
and his career. Gov. Thayer was bom at
Belllugham, Mass., and graduated from
Brown university in 1847. Ho settled In Ne
braska In 1854, and within a year took such
a commanding part in politics that he was a
candidate for congress. Ho happened to bo
pitted against the strongest man of tho r;,,o
sitlon and was not successful. In the same
year, however, the legislature elected him
brigadier general of the territorial militia
and he led a company against tho Pawnee
Indians, who had been troublesome. In 1859
he made a second campaign against the red
skins and took part in the peace negotiations
. with the hostile.) The following year he was
sent to the territorial legislature. When thu
rebellion broke out he was instrumental in
forming and organizing the first regiment of
infantry tbat Nebraska sent at, Fathor
Abraham's call for volunteers and he was
made colonel of the regiment. Th-. body of
men had a brilliant and brave cartar and
have an honorable place in the history of the
country. At FortDonelson they bore tre
brunt of.ooe of the assault. At Bhiloh they
won still greater detection, and Col. Thayer
was commissioned a brigadier general. For
gallant conduct in the campaign about Vicks
burg he was promoted to major general.
Near the close of the war Gen. Thayor was
given the command of the army of the Fron
tier to subdue obstreperous Indians. In 1860
when It was expected Nebraska would be ad
mitted as a state Thayer was elected one of its
United States senators and tho following
year be took his seat at Washington. In
1875 he was appointed territorial governor of
Wyoming and held tho ofllco ono term . Tho
general was elected governor of Nebraska in
1880 and again in two years later. Now, by
a curious train of circumstances ho gets the
office for a third term. Notwithstanding his
years and his arduous servlco in the war tho
governor is halo and vlgoious in mind as
well as In body. And ho is to bo admired for
the dignity with which he curried himself in
the late unpleasantness. A weak man would
have made a display of himself tbat would
have excited ridicule, but events have justi
fied every move made by tho governor and
he is clearly on top iu all respects., and espe
cially politically,
The rumor has been started that Gen. Al
ger the Michigan millionaire, who wants to
be president, is negotiating for tho Omaha
Bee and is likely to get control of it. Peoplo
about tho Bee office laugh at the story as too
absurd to be denied, But if the Bee is not to
be bought to boom a presidential candidate
another important change has taken placo in
Its conduct. It has just secured control of
tho reports of the Western Associated Press.
As I explained several weeks ago, the Heo
was getting the service of tho Northwestern
Associated Press, a miner organization The
'difference is this: ono sends an average of
7,000 words a day and the other gives 34,000.
Tho Bee has been after this service for five
years and now is on a footing with tho dail
ies of Denver, Kansas City .and tho bigger
cities east. It will also enable tho Bee to
drop much of it's sjieclal service which pays
much heavier tolls than press reports, not to
mention tbo compensation of tho correspond
ents. The circulation war is still on in
. Omaha. Tho Bee's rate of live cents a week
has Increased it's list about 3000 In two weeks,
but the World-Herald Is jogging along as
though nothing hud happened.
Col. Billy McCauu, the gallant young mtn
who flguied in the legislature four years ugo
and was rewarded with tho rogistershlp of
the Chadrou land office has gono to Omaha
to serve us a grand juicr. The doughty
colonel, on lehalf of tho eoplQ of his neigh
borhood, would liku to ilud tho man who
started that Indian scare last winter, for ho
is quite sure It was only a scare. In tho ear
ly stages of that affair squaws and iwpooses
visited Chadrou In great numbers just us
they bad been doing ever since tho town hub
not He reasons that tho bucks would not
have allowed their families to mluglo umoiig
the whites (who might hold them us hostages)
if they meant war. When the troops havo
into sight tho Indian took his turn at getting
frightened und tho late "war" was tho result.
Tho colonel was a staunch advocate o( tho
militia before he threw up his commission
and denied himself the pomp and pleasure of
wearing gold lace and brass buttons and his
view of the case may teeui like a desertion of
the principles which onco moved him to ilo
and dure, but ho evades tho charge liko n
(orii strategist.
"Now, tho boys In tho national guard
went tho front with tho expectation that thoy
would tto embroiled in tho bloody Indian war.
It took courago for them to leave, homo and
they aro entitled to as much credit as though
thoy 1 1 nil actually gono into n light, liecauso
they woro there to do It If nocessnry."
Hut tho Colonel Is yot after tho man who
started tho "scare" Ho has about given up
hopo of finding him nnd ho is elaborating n
scheme to provo to tho world that tho Indian
was not such n dangorous fellow as ho was
painted. Incidentally ho purposes Imoming
Chadrou by getting up a Fourth of July cel
ebration that fow place In tho world can
rival In novelty. His plan is to get ltsK) to

1500 of the Pino Rldgo agency to come to
town, take part in the parade, give their
dances and exhibit their camp life. Some
thing of tho Bort was done several years ago
and the colonel Is confident that the promise
of five or six good square meals will bring all
the noble red men that may be wanted. He
will Issue beeves on the hoofs and the specta
tors can see them shot down, after which the
Indiana arc expected to silt tfeaati opt aad
eat the entrails in plain sight of tho audience.
They will do the Omaha danco and show
how they creep upon an enemy as quietly as
a snako In the grass. If he carries out bis

it will bo impossible to glvo such an oxhlbls

Did you over talk with our latest ovldonco
of metrepolltantsm, tho wiener wurst man?
Ho is something gX a character in his way.
He was "shipped" from Kansas City last
summer to work on tho railroad construction
near Newcastle. When cold weather camo
lie started south and stopped in Lincoln
bocauso it looked like a "likely town". Ho
had no trado and he figured It out, he would
havo to work his wits. Tho result was that
ho decided to peddle wiener wurst at night
the same as he had seen others do at Kansas
City: "I bad to do sumpln", ho said, "and I
tigered out tills yor kit and I'se made a llvln'
outcf It forseben or olgbt months. H-o-t
wiener wurst two for a nickel, four for a

How many souvenir spoons have you I
Not any? Well, you are away behind the
times. The fad now is to havo a spoon from
every big city you visit, and tho silversmiths
are getting up special designs to suit partic
ular cities or localities. Thus wo have a
spoon with Washington's monument, with a
Plymouth rock, with a Salem witch, with a
Bunker Hill monuuiont, with an old knlcker
bocker or with a Newport mill to emphasize
tho locality it represents. Even Omaha has
gotten up a spoon. There Is bo very little In
that town that is distinctive, but one might
have expected the jewelers to take an Indian
as a symbolical remlndor of the city. It is
named for a tribe of the noblo roil men, and
eastern people think of us being on a verge
of civilisation. Hut perhaps Omaha jo welers
were not equal to executing elaborate de
signs, Thoy seem to havo contented them
selves with engraving tho word Omaha in
tho bowl of tho spoon or on tho handle.
Buroly Lincoln fad followers ought not to bo
behind in this mutter. Protty girls with a
prospect of getting mirrled havo u new pre
text for working susceptible man for coffee
spoons and our local jowelers will meet the
demand as well as tho Omaha craftsmen.
Last Monday 1 met a prominent retail
merchant who commented on tho beauty of
the day but complained of the small trade
that day. It was only noon, with thu best
half of the day In his lino yet to come, and
jet ho was borrowing trouble. Ho whs not
complaining about tiude as a whole, because
it was hotter than ho expected. He was un
doubtedly sincere when ho expressed IiIh
grutllcatlon but that particular Monday
was so dull. Several oilier subjects were dls
cuted, but each time he would revert to tho
statement that it wus very dull for a Mon
day, I coulu't help wondei lug why a man
would unnecessarily help drive nails in his
coffin, Wo havo an nbundunco of evidence
to slww that very fow men dlo of worki It Is
worry that kills them. Now this luin had a
prosperous business and ho Imd no moans of
knowing that his afternoon miles would not
oven up tho business of tho day, and yet ho
was fretting for foar It might not. Kvnry
man has real troublo enough but ho was bor
rowing more. Now I do not think ho was
thu avaricious man ho might appear to bo to
some people. This anticipation of pomlble
dlsupKlutmeht Is largely a habit. It Is a
bud habit ami ought to bo broken, I cannot
understand why a man doing a paying busi
ness will allow his days nnd nights to Ik) so
harrowed.
Mr. Jacob Mahler, Lincoln's fuvorltu in
structlou In tho nrt of dancing writes tho
CotmiKH that owing to thu p-ut winters uti
prccented nmount of work ho llnds It Impos
sible to como to Lincoln this spring as had
been his fond anticipation. Mr. Mahler's
St Louis classes woro nearly doublo as large
the post winter as on any previous season
and now that sp-lng is at hand he finds him
self broken down In health and unable to
come to Lincoln. The season at Saratoga
begins early In July but before going there
Mr. Mahler and family will spend a month
at Washington and has consented to teach
taecbildrca of Mra. Major Henderson and
Mrs. Phil Sheridan each two morning lessons
a week but will do no other work, taking the
balance of time for vacation and to recuper
ate. The Courier regrets to make this
statement as many Llncolultes had contem
plated asking Mr. Mahler for instructions.
Health howover is the first principle of life
and it is to bo hoped that by next spring he
will bo fully ablo to glvo Lincoln her post
poned visit.

give the baby such strong medicine," said tho
teamster. "You know John Oleson. of the
Watters-Talbot Printing Co., don't youf" en
quired the druggist. "His baby when eigh
teen months old, got hold of a bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and drank the whole
of it. Of course It made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the least,
and what is more, it cured the baby's cold.
It is not necessary to give poisons to cure a
cold or for croup cither." The teamster
already know the value of the Remedy, hav
ing used it himself, aud was now satisfied
that there was no danger iu giving it even to
a baby.
