Fred Fuuston is a light weight from

^ The old cry of the offi«e seeking
the man is sometimes carried far
ther than populistic ideas would
have it. Such seems to be the case
with our two U. S. senators.
Nebraska has two United States
senators and they are both Republi
cans. Something that has not been
for a decade. Let us rejoice and
be glad for the day of deliverance
is at hand.
All executions of criminals here
after in the state of Nebraska will
take place within the enclosure at
the State Penitentiary and the ward

to the law just passed.
The Ransom kidnapping bill was
pasted during the last hours of the
session. The last provision of the
act where the kidnapping is followed
b>- threats of bodily injury for the
purpose of forcing a ransom is made
a capital offense and is punishable
by death
Little Jopun is still showing her
teeth to tin Russian hear and Russia
seems to be contemplating the fact
that size does not always insure
against a trouncing. Little Japan
will have the moral support of the
^ world if it comes to a contest, anil
it often goes a long ways to have a
fellow hold your coat and hollow
“hiss.”
Gov. Dietrichs will not resign his
position until late in the fall accord
ing to rumors. He says he lias a
state policy mapped out that he de
sires to make effective before he re
signs. When he is inducted into
•the office of U. S. Senator in De

little sum of $4,500 due and ready
to be drawn, as his salary common

That peace will soon be establish
ed in the Philippines is thought to
be a foregone conclusion at present.
Aguinaldo, the chief agitator is in
our hands and expresses a desire
and willingness to promote peace
and good will between the Tagalo
and the Yankee. Insurgent officers
and men are surrendering and hand
ing over their arms every day, and
the administration is confident that j
a much less army will be needed
there from this on.
There is something about the
name “Twentieth Century Farmei”
lhat makes i' attractive and fitting
The public generally has come to
so reeoguize agriculture as the lead
ing science of the new century and
all admit that upon agriculture de
pends our national prosperity. The
Bee Publishing Co. has grasped the
situation and crystalized a great
Idea in this new paper, “The
Twentieth Century Farmer. It is all
tba' the name implies and by reason
of its many excellent features ap
peals to every person in any way
interested in land and stock and
a thousand an I one interests con

The long drawn out senatorial
1 light in the state of Nebraska wna
| ended last. Thursday when Thompson
and Rosewater, like men who cen
; aider the best interest of their state
j first and themselves after, stepped
before the Republican caucus and
announced their withdrawal from
the fight and released the faithful
band of senators and representatives
who had stood by them through the
entire session from any farther obli
gations, thereby leaving the Republi
can majority free to concentrate
their entire force upon two Repub
cans where spite nor spleen would
not divide them. The choice of
Messrs Dietrichs and Millard will he
generally accepted as good through
out the state without a doubt, al
though few wi’l question the fact
that such ripe statesmen as Crouose
and a few others have been bet
ter fitted for a position in whose
schools they have been training.
That our chief executive should be
elected and thereby place bis office
in the hands of another almost at
the beginning of what promised to be
a wise and conservative administra
tor a great many will regret. But
Mr. Savage, during his political ca
reel in Nebraska, has been tried by
crucial tests and still holds the con
fidence of his party, which should
mean that as our governor he will
not be found wanting His resource
fullness in eases of immergeney have
already proved him capable, as was
shown in bis prompt action when
the penitentiary burned and Gover
nor Dietrichs was out of the state,
therefore, judging from the past
the predictions must he that the
mantle has fallen on shoulders that
will maintain its integtity.
The question lias been asiied our
citizens by members of the school
hoard, whether nr not it would be
advisable to start the schools up
again on Monday next To tnis
we say No! W.ii1 at leas' one m >re ;
week, and even then, in the com i
mencement, bar all families that i
have i.*en quarantined lin'd such,
time as it is posiiiv oy certain that
they will uot carry the disease firth !
er. It now seems that we have it i
well tinder control. L"t us profit!
by p ist experience. There was no
doubt a mistake made iu (Ue fiist
place by opening the schools to
soon and a week ot sell >oling lost
now may not only prevent the furth
er spread of Hie disease blit also the
closing do vn agaio in the near
future. If the schools are com
menced to soon there will likely be a
very small .attendance and ther fore
would not be of much benefit.

Close to the Rocky mountains and
protected by that lofty range warmed

Alberta furnishes the most delight- j

this continent where great crops are

horses and sheep live on the range
all winter without hay or shelter and
are fat enough for the butcher in the
spring. No drouths or hot winds.
Homestead free; railroad lands, $ i

‘•The woman who, feeling that her
life is complicated with unprofitable
things, will simplify that life, will find
the moment she steps out of lur
bondage that she is not alone,” wi ilea I
Edward,, Bok, in the April Ladies’ j
Home Journal. “Far Horn it indeed.
She will find hersilf of a sisterhood
more votaries than she has ever
dreamed of. A sisterhood she wll
know not of uutil she become part ;
of it. Like attracts like in this world
I we live false lives. If our liv< s
ring true tile chords we strike attract
those who also live on equal heights.
The true less >u for us to learn is to '
Jive for the things we beleiva: not for |
what may be thought of those by
others. That is where our chief
trouble lies, we are to much concern
ed by what the world may think of
us. we are fearful lest some action
of ouri. may be misunderstood. We
are unwilling to stand by our convict
ions. We forget the thing itself. We
foget that we are what we are by the
things we do. It matters exceeding y
little what the world thinks of u*.
But it does matter, and it matters
much, to ourselves whether the lives
we live are true or false An action
born of a false motive never has the
slightest influence. It dies in its birth.
The men and women who, by there
lives have influenced the world have
been those who have lived ernest and
honest lives, and who never for one
moment allowed to come into there
thoughts the notion of whether the
world would approve or disapprove.
No life truly lived is lived apart aDd
alone. It has the companionship of
the best.”
