One Dollar Weekly Dues Pays the Bill Why You Should Join Now First Benway's have been allotted 100 Hoosier Kitchen Cabinets to be sold at a special club price by the manufacturers of this famous cabinet 8ecend The advantage of this club plan is to give you benefit of the great saving that comes from the enormous volume of Hoosier sales to the thousands, who like 100 Lincoln women enroll their names at once. THE OLD WAY Will You be a "Hoosier" Member? Third The membership shall be limited to only 100 cabinets, and they will be sold at the national fixed price on special terms of $1.00 cash membership; $1.00 weekly dues. Fourth Cabinets shall be delivered as soon as 11.00 membership Is paid, to each member. Fifth Those who want a Hoosier Cabinet should enroll their names at once to avoid disappointment when the club is filled. Remem ber, this offer closes when 100 members have joined. THE NEW WAY TT v4 at h'9 v. 3AOXS Do you know How a Hoosier Cabinet Saves MILES of Steps? It VI 3 III CAVE OTEPS The Hoosier Cabinet saves miles of steps by put ting everything in ONE SPOT. Your table is the center of all your kitchen work. Everything you take to your stove, to your sink, to your dining table, first goes onto your kitchen table. Everything you bring from your pantry, refrigerator, cupboard and cellar, goes onto your table. . If you must walk from place to place to collect these things and put them back again, your kitchen Is not modern. Tou are working THREE or FOUR hours over time every day. Just lok around your kitchen and realize what a wonderful labor saver a Hoosier Cabinet would be to you. Picture having one piece of furni ture that will combine your kitchen cupboard with your flour bin, your bread and cake box with your kitchen table, keep all your pots and pans in one place, your tea, coffee, sugar and spices at your finger's ends! Every woman- In Lincoln should own a "HOOSIER" Cabinet, but as we have only 100 to be sold on this liberal CLUB PLAN you must join now or you will be too late. 1112 O Street BENWAYS HOME FURNISHERS 1112 O Street AK-SAR-BEN FESTIVITIES. We hope Lincoln is fairly depopulated during the three big days "of the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities by reason of everybody going to Omaha. It will be a trip worth while. Omaha pulls off the most magnificent parades ever seen in this or any other country. There is nothing like Ak-Sar-Ben, nor anywhere near its equal, on earth. We wish Lincoln had something approaching it. But we are mighty proud that it is an institution promoted by a Ne braska city. Let every Lincolnite who can take in the Ak-Sar-Ben parades and let every one of them go up with a big badge advertising the fact that the wearer is from Lincoln, Nebraska. v THE HORSE EPIDEMIC. If it is really spinal meningitis that is killing off the horses in such appalling numbers, then it is not to be wondered at that veter inarians are unable to stop it. Physicians have not yet found a method of curing spinal meningitis in the human family. Whatever the equine disease may be there is every warrant for sparing neither expense nor trouble in trying to locate and remove the cause. Some believe it to be caused by the bite of an insect; others believe it to be caused by a fungus growth on the feed. Isolation, thorough dis infection and a change of diet should be carefully tried. CURRENT COMMENT The Cedar Rapids, la., Tribune, edited by our old friend, R. Grant Stewart, says that of over 200 labor papers coming to his desk, all but ten are enthusiastic for Roosevelt ,and six of the ten for Debs. For the life of us we can not understand how any pub lisher of a paper advocating union labor can support Roosevelt as a labor publication. We call to mind the case of the bookbinders in the government printing office. We can not forget how Teddy sought to prejudice the case of Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone with his famous "undesirable citizens" letter. We recall Teddy's asser tion that the "drunken, rioting cowboys of the plains were "much better fellows and better companions than the average mechanics in our larger cities." We haven't forgotten his advocacy of the spiked club for policemen. Admitting that Woodrow Wilson has misjudged organized labor in the past, and been guilty of saying things that were not true, yet we point to the fact that under Governor Wilson's administration of affairs in New Jersey labor got a lot of good laws enacted among them a workingman's compensation act.' What did the workers of New York get while Roosevelt was governor of that state! What did they get while Roosevelt was president? .Will jMaupin's Weekly, which is not a "labor paper," has been offered 7 cents a line to print a lot of anti-Wilson stuff, editorially if possible, as plain read ing matter otherwise. It is the stuff that a lot of "labor papers" are running. It is boosting Roosevelt and we are mighty sure that the men who carry- cards in trades unions are not putting up the money. Who, then, is putting it up? We don t know, but we do know that George W. Perkins, a factor in the union-hating steel trust, and Medill McCormick, a factor in the union-hating harvester trust, are almighty close to Theodore Roosevelt.

Morehead has conducted his campaign on a high plane. He has taken the voters into his confidence and told them plainly what he stands for. Billingsgate, obscene abuse and profane ejaculations he has left entirely to his opponent. The editor of this newspaper has had the pleasure of knowing every Nebraska governor since John M. Thayer. He has heard : more profanity, obscenity and billingsgate during the last eighteen months of the present regime than he heard during all the years of Thayer, Holr comb, Crounse, Sheldon, Poynter and Shallenberger. And if he remembers rightly none of the above named gentlemen posed as moral preceptors and exemplars of the righteous life. We have known Henry C. Richmond ever since he first "lit" in Nebraska some twenty-five years, ago. He drifted into Red Cloud, homeless and penniless and hungry just as, we have drifted into more than one town in the years gone by. He got a job as "devil" in the office of a Red Cloud newspapre under A. C. Hosmer, and he made good. Since the,n he has been a Nebraskan. He developed into a good newspaper man, and still better, into a genial, lovable man. He is a dynamo of human energy, and he takes pride in doing well everything he undertakes. He is the democratic candidate for auditor of public acounts, and he deserves to be elected because he is capable and square. He admits that he will have to learn a lot about the insurance business if elected, but you may be sure that while he is learning it he will not forget that-the people have some rights that insurance companies and combinations will have to respect. He never was connected with any insurance company, either as agent or lobbyist, but having served as chief clerk of the legislature he knows quite a few insurance lobbyists and can, and will, keep his eye on them. , This newspaper wants to see Richmond elected, not because he is a democrat, but because he is capable, energetic, and a fellow newspaper man. And that's enough for us. Accidents Will Happen And it is wise and prudent to insure against them in the reliable NATIONAL ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPANY, of Lincoln, Nebr. The "National" does a larger acci dent insurance business in Nebraska than any other company, and settles all claims promptly and in fuU. - A host of satisfied policyholders are stunch supporters of the "National" and the numbers 'are increasing , rapidly.

The State of Nebraska, To all per sons interested in said estate, taKe notice that a petition has been filed for the probate of the last will of said deceased, and for appointment of Peter Hornby as executor thereof, which has been set for hearing on October 9, 1912, at 10 o'clock a. m. Dated September 11, 1912. GEO. H. RISSER, (Seal) 9-13 County Judge. The Men and Religion Forward Movement ccommittee is plan ning a month of "union revival" or "union evangelistic" work in Lincoln during January. We are opposed to it, and we are willing to give our reasons. We don't take much stock in the average travel ing evangelist. We pay our local ministers from $750 to $1,500 a year," and make them work overtime to get their money. Along comes a traveling evangelist who gets more per month than the eanest, hardworking local minister gets in a year. Then the travel ing evangelist pockets his big fee and hikes to pastures new, leaving the local preachers to take up the big load. These union meetings doubtless produce some good results, but our experience is that, the "aftermath" is not worth the price. It is a month 'of excitement, mixed with opportunities for young fellows and their girls to make dates; it is expensive, and the money could better be used in wel fare work among people who need it during that season of the year. We never did take much stock in these '"revival" meetings, and none at all where a professional revivalist is imported at an expense of thousands of dollars to work up a feverish excitement over some thing that should be decided calmly and without hysterics. The thousands that such a "union meeting" would cost would be better spent in other directions. r: Think! It i3 high time to act. Don't delay your furnace work.

They were studying geogra phy, and they were trying to find out what part of Europe is the oldest, what influence the plains of Europe have upon the climate. and a lot. of other fool things. We told them all we knew about Europe which was little enough and then proceeded to ask them a few things about Nebraska. Those two Nebraska school children knew less about their own state than we know about Europe. Aside from "bounding the state" and naming a couple of rivers and two or three cites, they were as ignorant of Nebraska as a Hottentot. Nebraska public schools are fooling away a lot of time on things that are not worth while. T. A. YOUNG General Hardware 1907 0 St., Lincoln, Neb.
