Official Paper Sherman County The Republican* of Valley county have decided not to call their county convention until September. ■ - It ia highly gratifying to see the southern democratic press teaching the northern copperhead a lesson in Patriotism now days. Tje war in the Philippines should and will be prosecuted to a success ful finish, W. J. Bryan to the con trary notwithstanding. In his speech Monday, Col. Br^an said he stood now, just where McKin ley stood 18 months ago, and an old farmer remarked, ''eighteen months behind, by gosh.’—Val. Co. Times. Since Alger has resigned it is hop ed that the sore heads, ccpperheads and mullet beads of the country will have common decency enough to give us a abort rest. But they will soon find another mares nest. The Land Lady at the hotel where W. J. Bryan stopped at Old last week was so disgusted with the speech of the apostle of free silver that she decorated his room complete ly with yellow and they say Bryan didn't even have night mare. The radical leaders of the demo cratic party who are always putting up a light against prosperity and are ever ready to disgrace the (lag both at home and abroad area disgrace to that party and should be com pelled to leave it anil start a party of their own. Nebraska has'nt much to be proud of in the wuy of colonels in the late war. The three ’B’s” Bills, Bryan aud liratt, if tied up in a bunch would'nt make a high private in the rear rank. Bryan got to Jacksonville, Bralt behind a stone fence and Bills didn’t get anything. Bryan did not liko the looks of those yellow ribbons and impressed that fact on the minds of his hear ers by soeeriogly refering to “you farmers with yellow ribbons.” The printing offices were kept busy after that printing more yellow ribbons with the legend thereon, “McKinley and Prosperity."—Ord Quiz. The Ash drove Commonwealth, a stalwart Missouri, democratic paper of Missouri says, “It is only the small mind, aud the fellow who will split a nick :l to buy chewing gum, that will sit around and whine about the necossary expenses of his govern ment. The Democratic party helped to force this war, and, by the eternal Andrew Jackson, we will be the last Democrat in Missouri to raise any ob jeutiou to the expense necessarily and legitimately incurred." When Aguiualdo made his speech at Tartar and told his hearers that the democratic party in the United Stales were their allies, he evidenced the fact ttiat lie was not acquainted with Yankee politics- These George Walhington stones about Aguinaldo only come from a little scare head uopperhead element in that paity that are looking for au ottlce and if Hr)an Is nominated hy them in Icon Aguinaldo will diacovere it when the votes are counted, An editor with a guxard it too frequently the eaae in the fraternity.

Mr. Hayes of Ord is the proud possessor of the finest turnout iti Valley county and also of prime republican proclivities. Tbe populist committee procured this superb out fit for Mr. Bryan to ride in from the depot and Mr. Hates sent his son, to drive it. The sod, being of the same c rrnanndable cliaractoris tics of the father, put on u McKinley badge. The pops requested him to take it off at the depot but were kind ly informed that if Mr Bryan could not ride up town beside that badge he might walk. Bryan rode up town Tillman of North Carolina, said ut the democratic pow wow in Chicago last week that “the democrats would stand by free silver in 1000 and in 1004, and in 1908 if necessary, for if it was right in l^liC it was right dow. He said, “In the language of Abraham Lincoln, what was right was right.” Just so! We nre glad to hear him (prole our martyred Pres ident, but bow much better it would have been for our country if the ex governor and his ilk would have dis covered that Ahruham Lincoln was right during the rebellion instead of waiting thirty live >ears before it was possible for them to take a tum ble. The question here arises, If it tukes a moss back democrat thirty years to decide that Lincoln was right, how long will it be before they will he (pioting McKinley. That press censorship at Manila is causing quite a considerable comment among the Journals of this country since the Round Robin from the news paper correspondence in the Phil ippines has reached them and from the appearance of tilings it probably was a little too rigid. Rut we must remember that when people are at war .. censorship is generally absolutely necessary if the movements of the re spective armies are kept from the knowledge of the opposing generals ami with all the circumstance known to our people in the case of our war in the Philippines when it is known that there is a copperhead el ement the United States that is al ways ready to transmit news to the enemy as against their own govern ment, anti further that they are and have been secretly doing it at every opportunity. Our commanding Gen eral should be excused If even his censorship is apparently a little harsh. Most likely Otis has not forgot the Schoville iu Cuba and is therefore inclined to keep the future Schoville well in hand as he should do. Kobt G. Ingersoll, the great Ag nostic passed away very suddenly at his home last Friday from heart failure. Mr Ingersoll was the great est agnostic of modern times aud s man whose humanity endeared him to all liberal minded men who became intimately acquainted with him. But on account of his advanced ideas his deeds of kindness were not scattered broadcast but rattier suppressed by the out side world aud only those who dared to secure liberal litera tore were made acquainted with his private history His great protege. I liarles Bradlaugh of hnglaud died some ten years ago. Mr Bradlaugh was the man who forced the English I'arliuienl to make it possible for a man elected to that body to be qual ified by atllrmntion instead of the time honored oath The last words of Mr Ingcrsoll was to bis w.fe and were "Oil better" when ask bow be fell, lie died without a treamor nr a struggle, never expressed a desire to change his belief. Mr Ingcrsoll was a good mau and if bis belief was wrong he was honestly mistaken, and the mau who does right from his seuse of light should not need to have a change of bcarl for honest coiicieine is the best Judge.

At a North Hide boarding house one of the newly arrived boarders, named Burton, is an expert accountant. The first evening after hie arrival be began boring the other boarders by talking “shop” and relating the great feats of mathematics that he had accomplished in his time. Smith, one of the star boarders, made up his mind to rid the parlor of shop talk, at least fur that night. 4 “I have a little piece of addition work that I think you would have a bard time in doing. If you can add it without the aid of a pencil and paper, yon are a good one.” “Name each item, and I wiil add," said Burton. “Five barrels of cider at $4.50 a bar rel. Have you got that down ?” “Yes." “Four bushels of bran at 90 cpnta a bushel. Have you got thut down?” “Yes.” “Fifteen kegs of horseshoe nails at $2.35 and two strings of garlic at 60 cents a string. Have you got that down ?" “Yes; gc on.” “Six gallons of castor oil at $4.25. Have you got that down?” “Yes.” “Sure you’ve got it all down?” “Hnre, I have,” said Burton. “II—ml How does it all taste?”— Chicago Journal. Prwvril Cla Theory, hut Died. The acme of realism wub reached, though hy accident, in a criminal trial a few years ago at Lebanon, O. Two men bad a personal encounter. One of them, after vainly trying to draw his pistol from his hip pocket, turned to flee. A moment later lie fell, shot in the small of the back. One chamber of his pistol was found to have been fired. His assailant was tried for murder. Tho defense contended that the man bad shot himself while trying to draw his pistol, which hud become entangled in the lining of the pocket, and that the prisoner’s shot had not taken effect. The prosecution contended that such a wound could not have been self inflicted. The defendant’s counsel, Clement L. Vallandigham, undertook to demon strate to the jury just how the dead man’s pistol hud hung in the pocket and just how possible it was to inflict such a wound. Bnddenly there was a loud report, and the lawyer sank to the floor. The ball had entered the back almost in the identical spot where the dead man had been shot. The defendant was acquitted. Mr. Valandigham died.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. This Dog Can Spell. There is n South Side lady who owns a Gordon setter which she believes is endowed with almost human intelli gence. This is not a hastily formed nor unfounded opinion, but has been devel oped hy years of experience. Here is one of the many incidents from which has sprung her faith in her dog: Last Sunday, having finished her dinner, the lady went into the drawing room to read the paper. On a rug near the window the setter was basking drowsily in the sun. The lady’s two sons were still in the dining room fin ishing the repast, and the mother over heard something said about bones. Now, the good lady has a mortal dread that her beautiful dog will choke to death on a bone some day, so, raising her voice, she called out: “Boys, don’t give Dan any c-h-i-c-k e-n b-o-n-o-s,” spelling these two words so the dog's attention would not be at tracted. “1 am afraid he will choke.” As she spelled “chicken" the dog raised his head and listened; at “bones" he got up, walked into the dining room and looked at the bones the boys were picking.—Chicago News. The Coquette. A coquette is a being who wishes to please. Alas! coquettes are too rare. 'Tis a career that requires great abili ties, infinite pains, a gay and airy spirit. 'Tis tbo coqnette that provides all amusements, suggests the riding party, plans the picnic, gives and guesses charades, acts them. She is the stirring element amid the heavy congeries of so cial atoms; the soul of the bonse, the salt of the banquet. Let any one pass a very agreeable week, or it may be ten days, under any roof, and analyze the cause of his satisfaction, and one might safely make a gentle wager that hia so lution would present him with the frolic phantom of a coquette.—Lord Bcacons fleld._ The Widow’s Devotion. There was a man hanged for mnrder in Sydney, Australia, lly his widow’s consent, his iignre was exhibited in a local waxworks show. Every Sunday for six months the wuman, dressed in deepest mourning, called and put a dean shirt on the unresisting form of the wax man. Then her visits stopped. Some tune after, happening to meet the utauager of the show the lady explain 'd, with ittnuy blushes, that she had I married again, aud tiei new hnahand i energetically objected to her wifely at tention to tbe toilet of Xu, !‘s gtav<n image U wiuiie rr««•••■ i Lillir -Indeed, Mi* tie Vine.
