Erery county in the first congression al district baa a candidate for the honors of delegate to Chicago. TVe wish there were enough to go all around. Ed. J. Hall has accepted the position f editor of the Grand Island Herald, Ed is a good one from way back, and we predict for the Herald great propperi ty under his management. "When the Jlee dies and goes to heav en its first act will be to declare that the ciders next the throns are a corrupt ring tngaged ill selling galvanized crowns and hams to the working suints. Lincoln Democrat. Theadore Carl, formerly of Mt Pleasant and Ayoca, but now a resident of York county, is in the city to attend court. When he arrived ho found that his case hud been adjourned to the next term so he has Lis trouble for his pain The Kiddle house is being treated to a uw coat of paint on the outside whicl adds much much to the attraction ef the house. We hope to see these improve ments go on and believe that ere Mr. Kiddle is through with improvements he will have odd of the most attractive houses in the state. The Journal has our sincere thanks for reminding as of our "chestnuts on tha mud." We are very glad that our es taemed contemporary is able to see a chestnut in a newspaper, and we are of the opinion that if it had been able to see so.ne of the chestnuts in its own columns it would have been enjoying more pros erity. Fred Robison, the genial day clerk of the Riddle house, shook the mud from his feet and departed for the city of his choice. We are sorry to lose Fred but we have thought all aloag that Wahoo could not get along without him and rather than see the business of Wa hoo abandoned entirely, we must say, go Fred, go; and may success attend yeur pathway. Mr. dark and wife, of Evansville, Ind., arrived in this city this morning for a yisit with Mr. Tate of this city. Mr. Clark is a member of the editorial staff of the Labor Advocate and A. O. V. W. Reporter and is traveling through the west in the interest of his papers. He made this offica a very pleasant cal this morning. We were much pleased by his" pleasant conversation and araus ing incidents and hope he will call again while in the city. II. C. Ritchie, R. B. Windham, Dr. Salisbury, JI. B. Murphy, If. II. Poo and M. I). Polk took the 9:S0 train this merning for Ashland, to attend the Re publican district convention to nominate two delegates to the National Republi . can Conyentien, which meets in Chicago. June 19. It is very uncertain who wil be nominated delegates ns there are so many good candidates to choose from that even if we had the choosing our selves, we would scarcely know who to choese. TIerrmaim & Co., one of the old reliable firms of our city is doing an ex cellent business. They have a large and well slected stock of drygoods and no tions, and are endeavoring to do all in their pewer to please their numerous cus tomers. Their stock is new and selected at the best markets in the United States and bought on snch terms and in such lots that enables them to give their cus tomers the best ef goods at the very lowest prices. This firm is comp sed of good solid men and we can assure our readers that when they need anything ia their line they cannot do better than give them a call. --One of the attractions of our city is the excellent and artistic decorations and display of goods in front of Solomon & Nathans store. But these decorations and displays form a very small part of the fine and excellent displays of new goods to be seen in their large and excel lently arranged store. One needs but look in the door to be convinced that these gentlemen understand their busi ness to perfection. They have one of the largest and best selected stocks of dry goods to - be lound in any of our western cities and if you would but step in nd ask their prices you would be sur prised at what low prices they sell goods. Their goods are all new and are sleeted from the best and latest styles of goods and if you are puzzled to know what you want when you come to the city, just step into their store and you wil seen find out to your heart's content. wiily to .- a ...3 tennor and base ait across the street They have nol" able to see the musicians as yet, bnt we must say that their music is much ad mired by all who hear it. The editor of the Omaha Bee seems very much troubled over the probable outcome of the republican convention at Ashland today. It seems to touch the wily editor in a very tender place when he remembers that those great brainy men John M. Thurston and Charley Greene are recognized and honered by the people of Nebraska for their ability and honesty. If the hoary editor of the Bee had little mere brans and honesty he might be en joying the confidencsof the people of Nebraska as well as those great railroad magnates as he calls them. "Senator J. K. Vandemark of Saun ders county will be a candidate for re nomination and re-election to the senate. He made a valuable member during the late session, and there is little doubt of his beiner returned bv the ncoplo of his district." Lincoln Democrat. That may be the Democrat's viow of Yandy's re cord, but we warrant you that Charlie Harrison and Greely Gilkeson don't think so. And why not? Because they want his place. St. Joseph Gazette: There is after all no position in life more exacting than that of an editor. As an instance, a con temporary received the following note from a subscriber: "Dear sir, I have looked carefully and patiently over your paper for months, for the death of some individual I was acquainted with, but as yet not a single soul I care anything about has dropped off. You will please have my name erased' This incident shows how good newspaper men are; otherwise this man instead of stopping a subscriber's paper, when ho needed to get more instead, would have gone and killed the subscriber's mcther-in-law, and published the circumstance with plenty of exclamation points and a loud head. As a result, he tearfully erased the name, and sighed, "Friend after friend departs; who hath not lost a friend t There is no union here of hearts that finds net here an end !" PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

Dr. Sawyer has his own views concern ing the true business of a physician. They belong to a higher level of civilization than has yet been rtj Led, and may be prophetic: "The doer r should come and go like the clergyman and priest, instead of being a necessary evil, whose visits aro avoided as long as possible, and which aro a source of uneasiness when necessarily multiplied. He should be a minister and guardian of health, an officer of the family, upon whoso special wisdom free, early and constant reliance Is placed. The eradication of Inherited tendencies to disease, the direct Improvement of the physical and mental measure of stocks, the development of a hardy constitution in weak children, the recognition and arrest of many fatal organic diseases in their Incipiency, before they are too old to be controlled, the arrest of acute inflam mation at a time when this is possible, the Insuring of longevity and a sound old age these ore some of the things which the physician of today is able, but which be is not often permitted to do." Cincin nati Commercial Gazette. Tonne Men'. Physical Degeneracy. The growing generation is. indeed, a supine class on which to build up hopes of the country's future prosperity Have you ever noticed the physical degenera tion apparent on every side? The other Sunday I was out on Lindell boulevard, and for want of better company gave my attention to the pleasure seekers. who buggies, phaetons and carriages crowded the roadway from curb to curb. The young element was In the majority, and the fact that men of dwarfed stature and narrow chests predominated was con stantly forced on me. A majority of all the women were magnificent, robust and physically perfect, while the males who sat by their sides were invariably under sized and boyish in appearance. In all the thousands who passed before my gaze that day there was only one .pair where the man was of normal height, and he was only a shade taller than hisentle companion. Tho cigarette habit; late hours, dissipating before the bones are hardened and molded In manly propor tion I think, are responsible for the dis parity of the sexes. Globe-Democrat. Good Healtb on tbe Congo. The old saying that "beefsteak is bet ter medicine than quinine" is receiving able support from many white men on tho Congo Stanley regarded Boma as a par ticularly unheal thful place, but it has lost a part of its bad reputation since cattle were introduced and European vegetables began to thrive in the gardens Tha thirty white men at this settlement have not been called upon to attend the funeral of a European for a year Their herd has multiplied until they are able to have fresh meat cn their table every day, which they think is a great improvement on the tinned moats and canned vege tables upon which Stanley and his follow ers relied for strengtn to lay tbe founda tions of tbe Congo enterprise.

IILs speech was already affected when he gave Lis last yearning look at the chores of hi English home, but his family suspected nothing. He died, soma few months after, up in the New Hampshire hills, among strangers. Cor. The Argonaut. Tho Exiles of Siberia. Some injoresting facts and figures regard ing the unfortunate exiles of Siberia have recently found their way into print. It ap pears that on Jan. 1 of this year the total number of political and other prisoners of both sexes In the provinces of Irkutsk, Yeue seisk and Yakutsk was 110,000. Of these 4:?, 000 were in fixed places of residence. 20,000 were employed on different public works aud 43,000 had escaped front confinement and were living on "their own hook." Iu west ern Siberia the number of the escaped pris oners was still greater, a recently taken cen sus of the different towns and villages show ing that the enormous proportion of C7 per cent, were missing. Paris Cor. New York Star. Little Johnny's Explanation. The minister called one day and was shown into the parlor, where Johnny undertook to entertain him until his mother should ap pear. But soon stubbing his toe against a sharp corner of furniture, little Johnny, who was only 3 years old, gave vent to a string of swear words. , "Ob, ohl" cried the minister, shocked. ""Where do you learn to use such dreadful words?" "WolL ni toll you," said Johnny, confi dentially; "you see, I hear pa swearing at ma, and then I go and practice on Bridget." Boston Globe, Emperor tVWJam'a Phenomenal Lack. &. characteristic trait of the late Emperor William was his genuine good nature." He was also fond of a good joke. At a hunt the huntsmen laid twenty-eight? head of game be fore him, which they said he had killed. Smilingly he quoted the words of Shakes peare, "There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy." He added, "For is it not a miracle that I should have killed twenty-eight head while I had enly twenty-five cartridges T Boston Traoscrint. ...
