WHY does not the World Herald

TllK republican county ticket lias
not n weak candidate upon it. It
merits the approval and will re

THE reader of the average demo
cratic newspaper is impressed with
the fact that the prime mission of
that party is to deslory the repub
lican party. It is a splendid thing
for the people that they have u
nice in this matter.
S. W. Dutton, the republican
nominee for member of board of
county commissioners, is n man of
good judgment, whose integrity is
hove question and if elected to the
position to which he aspires, he
will guard the interests of his con
stituency with care.
TilK World-Herald met with a
timely rebuke when the editor of
the Leon Reporter (dem.) returned
the fitly copies containing the
scandalous article concerning
Judge Tost, accompanied by a de
cidedly curt letter severely repri
manding the villainous fake for its
dastardly work.
Is is a significant fact that in
every stale that national questions
are at issue, the republicans are
confident of victory. The demo
crats attempt toeonsole themselves
with the probable success of Ltoise,
Heer & Co. in Iowa and the faint
hope that Kdgertou will be elected
in Nebraska.
Wis have heard prominent demo
crats say that the sensational at
tack upon Judge Post has made
that gentleman thousands of votes.
Just as we expected. Are they
prompted to make that assertion
because they regard the statements
made by the World-Herald as false,
an they have been proved, or is it
because they believe the charge
and admire the man for baring
been guilty?
TllK Lincoln State Journal is en
titled to the thanks of all honest
people, regardlessjof party affilia
tions, fiirthe thorough iuveKti
gntion made of the Post scandal,
and the exposition of the villainous
attempt of the World-Herald to
malign the name of a man simply
to assist in elevating a man, with
such an unsavory record as pos
sessed by Kdgertou, to the supreme
bench.

of the republican party, and who
succeeded in pulling the wool over
the eyes of the former last
fall are in leaguewith the
democracy for the purpose of
accomplishing the one object of
the xeistance of that party, namely,
the overthrowing of the republican
party. The result is they are com
ing back to Ihe fold by the hun
dreds. Thk ledger ventures the asser
tion that in the person of Mr. J. E.
Iyda omjpeople willjtind a gentle
man who will discharge the duties
of county superintendent to their
entire satisfaction. Mr. Leydu has
been a teacher in this county the
past eleven years and his experi
ence qualifies him to look after our
schools. We do not wish to be un
derstood s speaking against Mr.
Noble, but we know that Mr. I.eyda
is just as competent to discharge
the duties of the office u4 in addi
tion is a permanent resident and a
tax payer in Cass county. A vote
for Leyda is a vole in recognition of
his past good work in our schools.

JUST BEFORE ELECTION.
The campaign just about to close,
on the whole has been marked by a
greater degree of interest and en
thusiasm at the hands of oil parties
than is usual in nn oil year. This
has been so in some of the. states
because of the signfigance of the
result pertaining to the probable na
tional issues of 1S02; in others, the
interest has been nrroused on nc-j
count of important local iau.
Hut in this state the situation is
somewhat different, the contest
being one of men rather than is
sues. There has been a great deal
said during the past few weeks con
cerningthe leading candidates of
each party, and no voter Jneed he
doubtful as to his duty in the mat
ter On the one hand the Inde
pendent party asks that Mr. Kdger
tou be elevated to the supreme
bench. There is not the least
doubt that he is wholly incompet
ent and unworthy, either from a
stand point of intellectual attain
ment or moral staini ja, to grace the
position with becoming dignity or
with a sufficient guarantee of
justice. There can be no question
as to this as is evidenced by his
record before the bar and the tei
timony of hisineighborn regardlet
of party affiliations.
On the other hand the republi
cans ask that you vote for a inim
who, if elected, will maintain the
dignity of our highest court of
just ce and discharge his duties
with ability and impartiality. It is
evident that his ability as a jurist
has been appreciated when we
remember that he has been retained
aa district judge in a democratic
district for nine consecutive years.
Unlike his opuonenUMr. Post has
the most ardent admircrslandtirm
supporters where he is best known
At the election next Tuesday the
voters of Nebraska will be called
upon to choose between these men
and it is confidently expected that
the merits ofjthejjrespective Jcandi
dates will be considered, judg
ment be exercised nud thejdignity
of our state will be upheld.
TUB COUNTY TICKKT.
We wish to urge upon every re
publican the importance Jof assis
ting, in every legitimate", way, to
the election of the entire county
ticket. This IltiKAUhas discussed
the merits of the candidates at
length. in the past nudjthus far,
while mud-slinging has been at
tempted in a few instances no seri
ous fault has been found, froin any
source to therepublicaniioininees.
We believe that the sectional feel
ing that has hampered republican
success in the past has been rele
gated to the rearj and been sup
planted by n determined Jeffort to
work in uusiou for party success.
Hut it is not policy to be over con
fident for the enemy is "sawing
wood" and if republican success is
assured it will be necessary to poll
every vote. To this end let no
member remain at home to husk
corn. Let him Jnot be so indiffer
ent as to go visiting on election day
or so uncoucernedjas to change his
residence a few days befor election.
Hut on the contrary let him be
stimulated to action byj the hope
of victory and nothing short of

CONCERNING P09T
John W. Harvey, ex-district judge
of the Third judicial district of
Iowa, who is president of the Iowa
temperance alliance and a thoroug
ly Christian gentleman, writes the
following letter:
"I have resided in Leon since 18GS;
have known Judge A. M. Post since
1870. I have just read the article
published in the World-Herald of
Omaha on the 18th inst. The
article is false m every material
statement It is true than an infor
mation was filed chargiug Mr. Post
with the crime of seduction. He
appeared without being arrested,
waived the examination, and gave
bonds for his appearance before
the grand jury, but it was not true
that lie was indicted. After a full
examination of the case by the
grand jury the bill was ignored,
and the cause dismissed at the cost
of the state. No one whe knew
anything about the case ever be
lieved that A. M. Post was guilty of
the charge made against him. I
can say, and say it without fear of
successful contradiction, tha t J udge
Post in as highly esteemed by the
people of Leon and Decatur county,
as any mnn who has ever left the
former town or county. Thejmau
whom the World-Herald designates
as 'one of the best citizens of Leon,'
would not dare sign his name to
the article published. The people
of Leon know the man who has
furnished the World-Herald with
this mass of falsehood a ad fabrica
tions, and to put it mildly he is a
man wholly without character or
standing in this community."

A Thought Meaiurlnff Machine.
Dr. J. K. McKattercll has constructed
an ingenious apparatus by which he can
determine, with a considerable degree
of accuracy, the time it takes to think,
and has experimented with many inter
esting results, lie has shown that to
see a piece of white paper and bo con
scious of the fact takes one-twentieth of
a second; to pee a picture takes one-tenth
ofaRecond; to see a letter of common
print, one-eighth of a second; to see a
full word, line-seventh of a second; to bo
able to judo between red ami blue, one
thirteenth of a second.
Ho has iilso proved that to see some
words and letters requires moro time
than others. By this satno machine,
with Romo ndded pieces of mechanism,
the time of remembering can also be ac
curately measured. According to the
learned M. D. and his curious little ma
chine, it takes much loss time to remem
ber the name of a familiar word than it
does the name of a letter, and we are
all supposed to bo very well acquainted
with the mimes of the letters of the al
phabet This seems strange, especially
when wo take into consideration tho
fact that we can see the letter in lesa
time than wecati the word.

Lincoln' I urn anil the ArtliU.
Lincoln's features were the despair of
every artist who undertook his portrait.
The writer saw nearly a dozen, one after
another, soon after the first nomination
to the presidency, attempt the task.
They put into their pictures the large,
rugged features, and strong, prominent
lines; they mado uicatmremcnts to ob
lain exact proportions; they "petrified"
some single look, but tho picture re
mained hard and cold. Even before
these paintings were finished it was
plain to see that they were unsatisfac
tory to the artists themselves, and much
more so to the intimate friends of the
man this was not he who smiled, spoke,
laughed, charmed. The picture was to
tho man as the grain of sand to the
mountain, as the dead to the living.
Graphic art was powerless lieforo a
face that moved through a thousand
delicate gradations of line and contour,
light and shade, sparxie of the eye and
curve of the lip, in the long gamnt of
expression from grave to gay, and back
again from the rollicking jollity of
laughter to that serious, far away look
that with prophetic intuitions beheld
the awful panorama of war. J. (J. Nic

Cruelly to I.ntMtrrn.
It is singular how the cruel practice
of boiling lobsters alive continues. Our
forefathers and, indeed, our parents
let calves bleed slowly to death, on the
theory that iu no other way could white
moat be secured, and later on calves
were bled one day and killed the next
Now every one knows that a calf can be
killed in a humane manner and the veal
made just as good. Hogs are largely
killed by electricity iustead of by the
old barbarous method; and, generally
atieaking, animals killed for food have
ben put out of the way in a much more
hntimne manner than formerly. But
lobsters are still tortured out of exist
ence, the only difference being that
while formerly they were exclusively
boiled to death, now some are boiled
and some broiled. Which process causes
the most agony no one can say. St.

Att.iiitien has recently been drawn i'i
England to a tpecies of fraud which i
becoming sjmuwhat common in thi
coiiutry. It appears that hundreds oi
pianos are annually brought over from
Germany for the purpose only of being
sold by auction. Occasionally they bear
rdul i.s.mts, und ofteu purely apocryphal
ones. Cut many of them boast name
labels, which closely reliable those of
eminent manufacturers. The pianos art
usually shipped without names and the
name labels are put on in London. There
aro makers in Berlin and other German
cities who will ship any number of
shoddy pianos without names at about
eighty dollars each, and with them will
send a gross or more of assorted tiame
labels, so that the dealers, or, for the
matter of that, the purchaser can choose
auy maker's name he pleases.
Some eminent German firms who
lave agencies in Loudon now take steps
x prevent any imitatiou of their name.
Cut unless the firms themselves take
iction the pianos go to the docks by doz

fraod is being permitted upon the pub

piano manufacturers of this country are
becoming alive to the necessity of taking
steps to prevent this injury to the public
and to themselves. Not lung ago a well
known New York firm had occasion ti
take action in a case of this kind, and
had the satisfaction of securing a ver

A CcMallon or Vitality.
A little son of Janitor Parry, of Mears'
hall, Scrautou, was put to bed shortly
after 10 o'clock on Thursday night ap
parently in good heahh. Some time
later the father went into the room and
found the child stretched out stiff aud
cold as if dead. IIo was almost frantic
with grief at the supposed loss of his
child, and his lamentations were painful
to hear. The mother hurried to the bed
side of her boy and clasped him to her
breast. The little fellow opened his
eyes and resumed his breathing, while
the mother was tenderly kissing his
ashen lips. Of a sudden the color came
back to his cheeks, his limbs relaxed
their rigidity and in a few minutes ho
was as lively as ever before.
The cause of this sudden cessation of
life, as it seemed, is attributed to stag
nation of tho blood. Tho fond mother's
caresses seut the life current again
coursing through the child's veins, start
ed the pulsations of the heart and
brought the virtually dead child back
to life. Mr. and Mrs. Tarry were over
joyed beyond measure when they became

A Or-it Liu'cpicr Artist.
Artistic Jajian has buffered another
great loss in the death of Mr. Shibata
Junzo. commonly known as Zesliin, who
expired on tho 13th of July, at the ripo
u;;e of eighty-five. A greater worker in
Lacquer probably neverjived than this
remarkable nrtiHt. Everything that
came from his hands was of the most
beautiful and refined character, and re
peatedly during the last ten years he
gave practical demonstrations of the
fact that the capacity of modem Japan
ese artisans to produce lacquer of the
highest quality is in no respect inferior
to the capacity of tho great masters of
former times.

chosen last J ar to receive the special
protection of the imperial household,
and he had obtained more than a dozen
gold, silver and copper medals for work
shown by him at various exhibitions,
lie was a flushed expert in every process
of lacquer manufacture, and his decora
tive skill, exercised chiefly after the
fashion of the Shijo school, perpetually
furnished novel and exquisite examples.

Mualo lu the Thunder.
A startling and most remarkable phe
nomenon occurred in Brookfield, Fair
field county, on Sunday night, Aug. 30,
which will lie remembered to life's end
by those who heard it. About tuqtime
for the evening service, and when the
congregations of the churches were
awniting the beginning of worship, it
began to thunder and lightning in the
distance, and the shower appeared to
be rapidly approaching until it was di
rectly overhe.nl.
Suddenly there was a burst of musical
thunder, sounding somewhat like a gong
iu differeut tones, and so marked were
the musical notes as to be sweet and al
most bugle like. Aa quick as a flash all
the eyes of the congregation in the church
were directed to the ceiling, and the
suppressed cry of "What's that?" could
be heard all over the church. "It's
thunderl" was the exclamation from all.
All were startled, although some were
more frightened than others. Danbury
