It is recommended that no proxies be
Admitted to the convent inn, arul that the
delegates present be aulboi-iaeu to cast
the full vote of the delegation.
It is recommend that the republicans
of every county in this slate be requested
to select their county central committee
at the first county convention held in
their respective counties. Said commit

pf 1S93 be held. Dr. S. D. Mercer,

Jtepublk-au Convention, Sixth Congm
sionl District.
The republicans of the sixth Conp-csHiunal
district of Nebraska arc hereby notified that
there will be a republican delegate conven i
tlon held In the city of Kearney, on Tuesday,
tlio SKth day of April, 1x02, for the puriMe of
electing two delegate ami two alternate to
attend the Republican National convention
at Minneapolix.
Alxo to designate the time and place for
holding the congrcxsiunnl convention of this
district for uoniiiiating r. camllilaU; for Con
gress, also to transact s.i.-rj otlier business ti
may regularly conic bofOiC it.
Iiere and the result is that the people and
business men of Harrison must make it
i that the farmers will feel friendly
toward the town or they will not receive
tiie patronage they should from the peo
ple ;o whom tliey must look for support.
A iuercliDt would not exjiect to do
much business if, w hen a customer came
into his store, he should not try to make
it pleasant for him and the rejxial of the
ordinance referred o would be in the
same line for it would lie practically say
ing to the farmers, "we prefer to have
the streets for grazing puqxises to re
ceiving your trade. Keep off the grass."
Such a course would be suicidal to the
business interests of the town and no one
could blame the farmers for transferrin
their business to other places should
such action be taken. It is to be hoped
that the people will take a business view
of the matter and work to draw all the
trade possible to the town, even if it does
necessitate a little inconvenience or self
sacrifice. .Selfish acts never did much to
build up a town and never will.
The mandate of the United Stales su
preme court has been received by the su
preme court of Nebraska and on motion
the case was by that court dismissed.
That is the end of the case. The man
date was decidedly vague and many
think that it contained an indication that
Boyd should be compelled to prove Ins
citizenship, but Thayer decided to take
no further action in the matter.
A clerk in the railway mail service
was arrested at Hastings a few days ago
for tampering with the mail and using it
for fraudulent purposes. He attempted
a blackmail scheme and got caught in a
neat trap that had been set for him. It
is rather dangerous work to monkey
with the mails and the usual result is
that Uncle Sam comes down on offenders
of that kind pretty hare),
Special Agent Cooper has made his re
port to government of the depredation
claims of the Indians who were friendly
and the emplo3"es at Pine Ridge during
uprising last wintei and they reach a
total of $201,000. In addition to this the
state of Nebraska has a claim of f42,000
expended at that time and South Dakota
also will come in for re-embursement
The damage done to Nebraska and South
Dakota by the retarding of settlement
would swell the grand total to an im
mense sum and the government would
lie acting wisely in appointing an agent
over the Pine Ridge Indians who would
prevent a repetition of what occurred in
1891.

Lincoln Call.
Cuyler Sehultz was convicted of mur
der in the first degree at Grand Island on
the 10th inst., for tlie killing of a neigh
bor. He appeared unconcerned as to the
result, but said he wanted to live long
enough to get a crack at a couple of
oUyrnKU.
The republicans are bringing the
young mn to the frost in congressional
natters. Among those mantuaed are
Dave Meroer, ia the second district;
Georgia D. Metkiejoha in tse third dia
tftot; F. O. Simmon in th fourth dis
trict; John L McPUeley in tlie fifth dis-
go with hiai and Peffer and Kyle will do
likewise. It is another proof that nil the
alliance1 pretentions on the part of demo
crats are simply to divide the republican
strength, and at the polls the democrats
who have shouted third party the loud
est walk up and vote straight democracy
and snicker in their sleeve about iiow
nicely they have fooled the republican
alliance leiiows by getting them to
waste their voles for tlie third nartv
The consistency with which democrats
vole for democrats, first, last and all the
lime, discloses a partisanship almost
sublime,
retitions are being circulated all over
northwest Nebraska and South Dakota
asking that James H. Cook, of Harrison,
ue appointed agent at Pine Ridge. The
people of this section of the country who
know Mr. Cook and his experience with
the Indians and the high regard they
have for him, are unanimous in their
support of him and the same is true
wherever he is known. The reports are
that the petitions are signed by all to
whom they are presented for most of the
people residing in the country near the
Pibe Ridge reservation know that the
Indians want Mr. Cook appointed and it
is to tlie interest of all to grant the re
quest of the Indians in the selection of
an agent. Mr. Cook is deserving of the
support of all the people in the territory
that would be effected by Indian troubles.
Tlie greatest obstacle is that the appoint
ment, as usually made, belonirs to South
Dakota and the senatoi from that state
have the naming of the agent, but where
the material interests of so vast a terri
tory are to be considered ft would" be
wise for the senators from bur' neighbor
on the north to look beyond tlie ues-

A couple of attorneys took exception
to tlie instructions of Judge Scott, of
Omaha, lo the grand jury and asked that
an indictment lie set aside, the judge
looked uiKin the motion as an insult to
the court and asked that the oli'ensive
)ai t of the motion lie stricken out. This
the attorneys refused to do and Judge
Scott declared them in contempt of
court and sentenced them to pay a fine
of 'J"i each ami to be imprisoned in the
county jail for twenty-four horn's, An
plication was made to the supreme
court for a stav of sentence which was
ranted and the next move will lie the

court. It is seldom that the courts llud
t necessary to take attorneys to task for
disrespect for the office, but once in a

and has to lie called down. A good deal
of interest is reported in the case and the
result will be watched for witli a good
deal of curiosity.

Tlie latest renort in the Tliavcr-Bovd
case is that tlie former lias tuken sk-ps to
have the case re-openeil. H is tlie opin
ion of many that the question of the
citizenship of Boyd's father is s'ttlwl anil
that the mandate of the United States
supreme court indicates tli.it Gov. Boyd
mould prove ins citizenship. J lie time
has past when there is anv iiartijinism,
politics or personality in the case, for a
decision could not be obtained liefore the
expiration of the term of ollii.e now-
being served by Gov. Boyd, and there
fore it is but right and pror that all
the questions involved in the case should
tie taken up and decided. The uufstion
of most importance is to find whether or
not a loreigner can liecome a full Hedged
citizen of the United States without
complying with the provisions or the
constitution. If that is tha case it
should he known so that conu-russ nmv
take tlie iu tion necexsnrv t-i protect this

A man was denouncing uewsiianer ad

"List week," said he. "I hud an urn-

very highly I spent double its worth in

"Iiow did you word the advertise

"Here it is," said the man uroducin.- n

The merchant took it and read:
