H'r- it's spring again. Keep the wood box full and the wa ter turned off. It is stated by the weuther bureau that the cold wave extended down to the everglades of Florida, so after all we have some consolation, we were not alone in the freeze up. The gridiron club several nights ago took formal leave of President Roosevelt and Vice-President Fair banks. The country at large has still a month more of agony ahead, how ever. The cold weather Is blamed at Fremont for the presence of thir teen plain drunks In police court on Saturday. It milst be admitted that storm of last week had much to an swer for. Texas has indefinitely postponed consideration of a prohibitory amend ment to the state constitution, show ing that the denizens of the Lone Star state are not oil southern on that question. What has become of all those .vriters who were talking so IoikM the fore part of last weK about the fine winter climate of Nebraska? Since Thursday afternoon they have been ominously silent. Wo ore about to oyain be deluged with more "trulh about Panama. " Preshleii-elect Taft with a corps of private secret? rles and typewriters having Invaded the Isthmus. Wonder if anyone will have the termlt to dispute what he says, The Nebraska Cliy Press on Fri day announced to the people of that city that the Missouri River was open again, and in Its Saturday Issue It promptly announced the river was closed again Indicating that the rapid change In the weather wasn't con fined to thlH city. Marconi Is generally looked upon as the father of wireless telegraphy, but we know a llttlo fellow named Cupid who beat lilm to It by several thousand years. Fremont Herald. We often wondered horn some of the work of Cupid turned out so poorly. Now It Is understood mere ly tho work of a "ham" operator.! The attempt of the government to ronzzel the press by instituting libel Hiilts against the New York World will unless all precedents in this country nro upset, fall. It is part of the Fng lish common law to hold that the gov t-rnment can be libeled but that doct rine has not been recognized In the United States for more than ono hun drcd years, an It is hardly likely it ran be revived now. From the press now It Is learned that the President was "shamefully deceived" by H. C. Frlcko and sev rral others regarding tho Tennessee merger by the steel trust. - It Is too bad Theodore la so confiding. From the way he assails everyone who does rntA agree with him, it was currently vbelkvcd that he had no confidence In ; anyone but still the gentleman who owned the steel trust Beem to have won their way into his affections. As long as the democrats of Ne braska are not finding fault with W -J. Bryan taking a hand in leglsla Mlve matters, we do not see what Wght the republicans have to find fault. The Omaha Bee throws Bev oral fits every day about the domlna tlon of the democratic party by the great Comomner, all of which is rather amusing as the republicans profess to believe that Bryan has been again burled. For a dead one his ghosts are rather startling to the opposition, to say tho least. Tho greatest criticism over offered by democrats of this state on Mr. Bryan wan bis persistent refusal to tako hand In Btato politics. Ho has right to and ought to do this ns duty to the party which has stuck to him tlroug thick and thin. Papll ! In order to get issuers started up by spring, the committee having in charge the projected Interurban be- tween Omaha and this city should net busy and take the ease up with j a view to interesting capital and se cur it if possible. The first advance sheets of the 'truth about Panama" appeared in the papers this morning. This Is about the Great Pacificator as Mr. afr !,ov appears. I!nw tlis stage manager will fix him up next Is to be guessed at. Little Vic simply cannot get over his wrath at Mr. Bryan. After de claring that the latter gentleman is political corpse, Victor proceeds to kill him several time a day through the columns of his organ. Verily, Uryan Is Banquo's ghost so far as Victor Rosewater Is concerned. Abouth one of the most ridiculous charges any Nebraska newspaper has made yet Is that Mr. Bryan Joined the Eagles In pursuance of a tie-up ith the liquor Interests. This piece of nonsense emanates from the Lln- oln News, a paper which should now better. If It was meant as a oke, It Is mighty poor taste. Now watch the republican press commence to throw summersaults about the so-called "raid" 'on the su- reme court. Judge Oldham has asked leave to bring quo warranto proceedings against Judge Deane and Is easy money to bet the Omaha co and its kindred sheets will spend nearly all the next issue in de nouncing this attempt to get a fair settlement of a mooted question. The Oregon legislature which was ompelled to elect a democratic sen- tor by republican votes is now seek- ng some method by which It can re lease Itself from a like pledge In the future. They are now engaged n passing a bill to prevent any pre lection pledge and providing a pen- Ity for taking one. In this way they hope to evade their responsibility to Hie people but will the people stand this? Owing to the condition of work In the supervising architect's office, it Is announced that nothing will be done of public buildings In Nebras ka for a year. This Is some more peanut politics because Nebraska had the termlty to elect some demo cratlc congressmen and a demo cratlc state administration. It would appear that there are some small bore politicians in tho Nebraska re publican ranks Judging from the exhibitions of petty spite since elec tion. Tho Oregon plan for the election or United States senators by the people has so many excellent points and is so unobjectionable that any opposition to it can have no founda tion save in partisan rancor and fear to trust the people to seloct the can didate they desire. That the pres ent legislature will use Its democrat ic majority, to place the power In tho hands of the people Is practically assured and that it will bo wisely and Judiciously used is more than to be hoped. The use which was made of their power by the people of Ore gon, shows that it left alone they can bo depended upon to select the man whom they think will give them tho best service in the upper houso. The defeat of Senator Fulton was tho direct outgrowth of exposures which had shown to the Judgment of most of tho peoplo of the state, that he was not a fit man in the senate from this state whom the proposed' law would bar out is un doubtedly truo and tho welfare of the slate, would have been much pro motcd If this had been the case. It should pass tho legislature with practically unanimous vote and the members who vote against it should bo spotted by their constituents for further reference. Will Keep Promises. The legislature has been In session now for Boveral weeks and they are commencing Jto get straightened out and In a few days they will commenco the task of real legislation. There Is every Indication now that a bank guaranty bill w ill bo among the first matters they will get to gether on, and that It will bo bucIi a bill as will comply with the general demand cf the people for substantial guarantee of their funds. It will without doubt provide for "laime- diate" paymeut as pledged in the platform and the remaining details will also be satisfactory to the peo ple. The revenue law will be amended I in line with democratic promises and a return to the system of allowing the people to name their precinct assessors will doubtless be a feature of this move. A bill to provide for the physical valuation of the public service cor porations is almost a certainty and this will be the first step toward fair adjustment of freight and passenger rates., There Is small prospect of a county option bill being passed, It being con ceded that such a bill has no chance to get through the senate, thus pre venting any radical or fanatical legis lation on this subject. The daylight saloon bill also went the way of the bad, as the senate has already Indefinitely postponed con sideration of it, so this ends practi cally all chance of prohibition legis lation. Other legislation which was guar anteed such a bill alylowing home rule to Omaha and South Omaha seems certain to be put on the stat- te books, and a new charter will oubtless be given to Lincoln as Its people demand. The election of United Stjtes sen ators by the people is sure to net a long step forward In the adoption of the Oregon plan by which members of the legislature must pledge them selves to vote for the popular choice. This Is one of the most Important bills before the legislature and It is to be hoped that It passes speedily. Well, ground-hog day is past and the old boy surely saw his shadow 11 right. Will the six weeks of winter come along now on time? The construction of the interurban between Omaha and this city should not be allowed to lag behind. Get after the matter and push it along. It may bo some months before Piattsmouth hae lighted streets but it w ill have them Just the same. The council moves with deliberation but It will arrive somewhere finally and that somewhero will be lights for tho city. What about the projected trade excursions from Eagle. Is the com mittee moving in this matter or is it being allowed to go to sleep? Wake up gentlemen and get busy. Let the excursions commence at once and run with regularity. The people along the line of the M. P. and tho citizens of Piattsmouth ought to know one another better for the wel fare of all concerned, so run the excursions. Let every citizen drop his per sonal bickerings and got together on doing something for the city. Let everyone put his shoulder to the wheel and push the car of progress along upon its road. It Is only in this way that tho city can be made worth speaking of. Nothing can be accomplished by setting down and growling. Got up and hustle and then hustle somo more and yet more until you put the city in the front rank of live ones. The Nevada and California legls- atnrcs seem persistent In their In tention of involving Theodore and "Peaceful" Bill in war with Japan. Their scandalous doings In not lis tening to the man in tho White House is paining him very deeply. Theodore does not seem to realize that there are somo members of state legislatures who claim to know what they want to do but seems de luded with tho idea that he is the guardian angel of all the Blate legis latures as well as the congress of tho United States.

Don't ask your carrier why he Is latp nt your box. Don't blame the carier If there is any changes made in the routes. Don't place pennies loose In the box to pick up w ith mittens on. Don't ask your carrier to carry notes to your neighbors to avoid pay ing postage. Dou't ask your carrier to bring non-mailable parcels for simply, I thank you. That doesn't buy feed or pay repair bills. Don't ask your carrier to let you ride with him. Don't put up any old box on your mail route. Don't expect your carrier to come when you wouldn't venture out. Do all you can to help your car rier along on his route. Do write your letters and cards before carrier is due; you have twenty-four hours before he comes again. Do as you would have others do unto you if you were a carrier. Do buy a supply of stamps and other supplies; they will keep; cost no more; In fact, stamped envel opes comes cheaper.' Do stamp everything that Is mail able that you place in mail boxes, as at the postoffice. Do pay your carrier a reasonable fee for all unmailable parcels that you ask him to bring for you. Do get a good box; put it up in good shape in a convenient place for the carrier to drive up to. Do unto others as you wish them to do unto you. We carriers are only blood and flesh, as you all are; we have a heart that beats within our chest. Many Sleepless Xiilits, Owoinjr to a Persistent Cough. .lUiief found At Last. "For several winters past my wife has been troubled with a most per sistent and disagreeable cough, which invariably extended over a period of several weeks and caused her many sleepless nights," writes Will J. iiayner, editor of the Hur ley, Colo, Bulletin. "Various reme dies were tried each year, with no beneficial results. In November last the cough again put-in an appear ance and 'my wife, acting on the suggestion of a friend, purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Tke result was Indeed marvelous. After three doses the cough disappeared and has not man ifested itself since." This remedy Is for sale by F. G. Frlcke & Co. In County Court. From Wednesday's Daily. In county court yesterday Judge Beeson heard the application for final settlement in the Sarah J. Clements estate. The accounts of Byron I.

"Consumption held me in its grasp and I almost reached the Jumping off place when I was advised to try Dr. King's New Discovery; and I want to Bay right now, it saved my life.
