reply.
There was more oratory to the square
inch in the prohibition crowd than there
was even in the independent convention,
altnough the suspicion was current at the
latter that the delegates had assembled
more to hear themselves talk than for
work.
Many of the politicians were doubtless
expecting to see in the convent:on a gen
tleman named Rankin, and wondering
what county he would probably repre
sent, lie is a stock dealer who repre
sented Logan county in the republican
state convention and Blaine county in the

To show the rise in the price of corn
the Hehald has taken the trouble to

Fred Egenberger, Prof. Poisal, Charley
Yost and Pete Mumm made up a fishing
party yesterday that went over the river
They were loaded for bear as well as
fish and carried enough snake bite anti
dote to have taken them through the
Jungles of Africa. As a result they
came home safe last night with forty
seven black bass, sixty-one pickerel, seventy-one
mountain trout, one salmon and
nine suckers. We did not see the game
but take the word of Col3 Skinner, ar:d
Mumm as to the count and variety.
Mr. and Mrs. Roe Craig's six weeks old
baby was badly burned yesterday. It
seems that Mr. and Mrs. Craig were out
in the yard looking after something
when Mr. Craig told the little girl to go
in and look afterjthe baby, as it was just
growing dusk the lamp h:id been lit and
the little girl picked up the lamp and
walked over to the cradle and in trying
to see the little one poured burning oil
on the cradle, the clothing blazed up but
fortunately only the babes forhead was
exposed which was burned to a blister;
the balance of its face being covered up
saved its life. An alarm was given and
the fire was smothered in a moment, yet
it was a clo&e call. The Herald is glad
that it was no worse and that J:he little
one is getting .long nicely.
Just Think of It.

Consistent
From Satui'd jys Daily.
Bryan in stentoiian tones at the Water
man Opera House says, "I am unalterably
opposed to caucus rule, and I assure you
that I would not yield up my opinion
to that of any set of men." The above
rot was enthusiastically received by the
Journal man as being the proper tiling,
yet we remember when this same Journal
man read Sam'l J. Randa-ll out of the
party and called him a traitor for refus
ing to go into and abide by a decision
of the democratic caucus in congress.
We don't care to critic ise the consistency
of the Journal man particularly, as tie
would not know tne definition of the
word. But the idea that a democratic
candidate for congress should be so weak
mentally or should have such a poor
opinion of his constituents as to suppose
they would prefer the opinion or wisdom
(if democrats desire to call it) of a young
inexperienced, windy attorney over the
opinions of men learned in the law, and
who haye spent the best part of their
liTes congress is ridiculous. Carlisle,
Mills, Yoorhees, Coke, Reagan, Springer
and Morrison must take a back seat and
give way to the opinion of the great '"I
am" from Nebraska, is the theory of the
egotistic young man that is stumping
the first district for congress on the
democratic ticket. How do you like
his style?
Fathers and mothers, you should call on

A press telegram from Washington this
morning says: "A statement was issued
by the census office tonight, showing the
growth of street railroad lines in the last
decade, which indicates that Omaha is
the banner city of the entire country in
this particular. Her street railroads have
grown 998 per .cent in the last ten
years, which is a much greater growth
than was shown by any other city. There
is no better key to the growth of any city
than the growth of its street railroads
Omaha, which, ten years ago, had only
four and one-half miles, now has over
eighty-nine miles. No other city shows
any such growth, and only nalt a dozen
cities show a greater lengtti ot road
Take Chicago, for instance, with her
wonderful growth, the increase in her
lines is only 129 percent, phenomenal St.
Paul has only Increased her lines 443 per
cent and Minneapolis 472 per cent. 1 he
city which comes nearest Omaha in .the
rate of growth of its lines is uenver,
which shows a growth of 793 per cent.
