or evening after he had retired, the boys
get a key and went in, they took his re
volver, and borrowed a fierce looking
dummy with big eyes which they
leaned over the bed. The crowd then
) got quietly outside the building and
soon had the young man awake. He
glared up in the clim light thrown up
from the street lamp and his heart came
right up in his throat and choked him
j fthat he could barely speak as he en-
i tiiired who is there and what do you
want? About this time the dummy
v hich had been propped up fell over

j heart stopped beating for five minutes
as he waited for the murderous assassin
to do his bloody work, by and by he
came to his senses and found it was only
a dummy, and they say if he could have
found the revolver just then that he
would have used it.

Their train was nearly four hours late re

jolly time was had by all. The oration

keep up their courage. It matters not to

Thi; republicans of Nebraska in the
opening of their campaign, in the. first
district at Plattsmouth evinced a vigor
ous and healthy dondition. With the al
liance on the right hand the prohibi
tionists on their left hanl and mugwu nps
in the rear, the representatives of the peo
ple battleing for God and tho right, the
fundamental principle of true republican
ism, presented an undaunted front to
their democratic opponents, who, but
once in a third of a century have tasted
of accidental victory in national politics
and represent in state politics an un
known quantity; but a quality that will
not bear the searching light of truth.
The democracy with all their adjuncts,
posing as the friend of the honest re
publican farmers of Nebraska cannot
hope to find a single vulnerable point in
the republican armor for the lodgement
of a single one of their nominees. The
entire republican ticiret, state, congresss
ional and county will be elected in No
venber next.

trust will prove a good investment for the platform, but "dollars and cents"
will bring it about. The McKinley bill
is passed by a large majority and that
bill deals a heavy blow to the commerce
of Canada. England, we are told, is as
ready to give up Canada and Newfound
land as Heligoland. Now, what can we
do in this part of Canada without the
United States. We are positive that at
least this part of the country would go
on in a thriving condition, our water
