The ditch is said to be doing good work up the valley for those who are lucky enough to be in a po sition to use it, which would indicate that there is money iu it for its own ers if looked after. The mill man at Arcadia, says he has no kiok com ing as long as his rights are preserv ed and a sutlicient amount of water is on hand to run the mill, and as the mouth of the ditch feeds both mill and ditch of course this right must be expected. There should be do malice connected with this mat ter any place along the line. The gentleman who has charge of the mill property, we are informed, says he has no desire to shut off the water, ail he ask9 is that the head gate be kept in shape so as to furnish plen ty of water for him also, and this would have to be done if thero was no mill, for space for a foot or so more water could make but little difference. If be evinces a spirit «f this kind it would seem there should lie no trouble in arranging fur water. The Northwestern does not wish to be missunderstood in this matter, wc speak “with malice toward note and with chanty for all,” but can not see why there should exi9t this friction when all parties seem to de sire that the ditch be in opperation. A good crop supplies the mill with wheat and keeps its wheels in mo tion. Again the ditch cannot profit its owners if it i9 idle. A good crop in this valley will make us all pros perous, and there exists in this ca«e a moral obligation fully as great as the financial one. This is a com rnunity of interests pure and unmix ed, for the people have the first cost of the ditch to pay, therefore spleeD should be avoided. The republican party with Mark Ham. vV money worked the prospeiity racket vary successfully In the elestion last fall, but with no wheat and a short ened crop of corn they will And It hard to convince the voters this fall that McKiuley’s administration is synouy raous with prosperity and plenty.— Ord Journal. Brother Davis, it should not make any material difference whose money we worked the ‘racket' with just so prosperity came as we told you. It came as predicted, men got work and the nation quit borrowing inou ey for running expenses. We have upwards of 2f.O millions laid away, besides having applied no small amount to the liquidation of the deb* you fellows piled up to exist upon tluring the short period you wheedled the people into trusting you. Dry spells have been periodical in Nebr.. (’u ing the past decade 'tis true, but if it were not for those seasons of calamity, the populist aggregation of democracy would long since have quit the earth. We say you! Yea that is right, jou three me one. Demos,, popos., aud free silver reps., all made in the same mold but labeled different. Drouth and no crops is your only hope of success aud you never miss the opportunity to make that au issue, especially when the campaign is on. How proud you must feel Brother Davis when you have to thus appeal to the prejudice of the people for want of legitimate campaign argument. Sampson may he the most popu lar man among the officers in the iavy but Schley has a long lead in the hearts of the people. If it is proven that Schley disobeyed orders from Washington, it has already loDg been an established fact that he smashed Cervera's fleet when it came out of Santiago harbor What the people of this ration want to know is that the job is doue that they set a man about, and done with the neatness and dispatch that characterized the Santiago affair. Bed tape and long winded imjuirits to establish technicalities which are being forced upon Schley by an ag gregation of jealousies will only tend toward drawing the heart and sym pathy of the American people to him, and already the name of Drey fus is being uttered as a synonym. The hosts which the “peerless leader” piloted on to glorious defeat through ‘the first battle' and then through the second, are getting thin ucr and thinner (in numbers we moan) as the years roll on. Last week they undertook to hold a state con vention in Ohio, and almost made a fai'ure of it. They finally did get a quorum together, but could not per suade any one to accept their nomi nation, so they drew up a set ol letolutions declaring that they were the “progressive democracy” anc had it published, so that it would be come generally known, and then ad journed. Hot air is a veiy good in cubator for “peerless leaderst” bu! brains and ability is necessary to lr surc continued growth. Sherman county, probably like many others in the drouth belt, has some spots where coin is in first class condition, aud has. according to information gathered from resi dents of these places, never suffered for moisture. The particular terri tory we refer to is in the vicinity o! Verdurette, and running west, it is about 9 miles south of Loup City. Tins favored community is Severn, miles wide and very much longer. One man tells us that he sees f'i,000 in.sight for his hay and corn crop, aud that $r>00 will cover his expense. He has 240 acres in corn. The managers of the thr’e ring circus are again on the ground look ing up a suitable site for three tents with one entrance. The poor little silver republican aunex hardly pre sents ihu dignity of a side show any more, but it must be kept in motion as long as it represents a vote. The apple crop of l'JOO, as near as could be estimated by statisticians reached the enormous sum of 430 million dollars. No other crop id the country equaled it except corn. Wheat fell short 110 millions, and yet the apple crop is scarcely ever heard of. - The Labor Commissioners statis tics for 1903 shows that Nebraska exported $40,328,910 worth of ha) and grain and $70,33(1,334 worth of (live stock. This does not include dairy products, poultry, eggs, beet sugar etc., which, it is estimated, would bring the total to at least 125 millions, or about $124 per capita. Custer county populists, at their convention last week, adopted a re solution against fusion. Just wail until they assemble at the state con vention and see them embrace the unwashed with all the obi time unc tion. Russia is endeavoring to have Japan jump onto a large slice of Chinese teriitory and turn lo r e\e south while Russia takes in Korea. Japan will not be likely to look kind ly upon such a proposiuon us long as Uncle Sam and John Rail are opposed to it The Aurora Min sat s the hot winds were so severe down there that the blow almost killed fodder. It isn’t the Cook's Fault, It isn't your Grocer’s Fault, that the bulk coffee you just purchased turns out to be differ ent from the “samekind”bought before. Coffee purchased in bulk is sure to vary. The sealed package in which LION COFFEE is sold insures uniform flavor and strength. It also keeps the coffee fresh and insures absolute purity. The Detroit Journal, says the drouth has not been an unmixed evil, it introduced prayer in Nebras ka. We have had several seasons of drouth during the nineties but then they were luring pop administrations. Empress Frederick of Prussia, mother of Kaiser William, died Mon d iy last. She was the oldest daugh ter of Victoria of England. President Shaffer of the amalga mated steel workers, has issued an order for a general strike all over the nation to take place tomorrow, Saturday, if the steel corporations do not satisfactorily adjust matters by that time. This order, if carried out which will i.urely be done if the steel trust does not make conces sions, will lay off 100,000 men. UNDERTAKER'S ENTERPRISE. HU Mysteriou* Vlilt to <t FlCth Avenue Hotel Clerk. There was a much mystified clerk in a Fifith avenue apartment hotel not long ago. On the report of one of the hotel servants a telephone message was sent one day to Police Headquar ters. and then to the station house of the precinct in which the hotel is sit uated, saying that a man had killed himself in one of the rooms of the hotel. Policemen were sent to the place at once, and they speedily found that the supposed suicide was merely stupefied with liquor and desirous of being let alone for an indefinite period. They forced him to go to nis own room and went away, after making their re port to the clerk. A few moments later an undertaker came bustling up to the desk in the hotel office and remarked cheerily that he had come for the body. The clerk.asked him what body, and he replied: “Why, the corpse. Friends of the dead man sent me here to get the body." He was unable to give the name of the dead man or of his friends, and the clerk sent him about his business, but puz z.ed his own brain for a consid erable time to conjecture how the un dertaker got word that there was need for his services at the hotel. Had the clerk been wise in all Che devious ways of graft in this town he might have guessed the true explanation of the mystery. The particular sergeant on duty when the message from the hotel reached the station house has an un dertaker on his staff, as the saying goes, to whom he gives early informa tion of opportunities for possible busi ness, collecting therefor a suitable per centage on the undertaker's profits. He had telephoned the undertaker this lime from the station house.—New York Sun. HOW TO TRAP MOSQUITOES. A Novel Method Tr<f*oHed by m Fice* tiona Man. “Few persons know it, but it is a fact nevertheless, that a mosquito can be caught without any sort of trouble,” l>aid a gentleman who has always manifested a deep concern in Anopho les culex, and all the other winged pests belonging to the tribe. “It is the easiest thing in the world to do, and while the discovery may not solve the whole mosquito problem, and may have no particular bearing on the dis semination of germs by these flying pedlers, it will certainly console the fellow who lives in the mosquito belt to know that he can catch Anopholes culex or any of the others. Just for the trying. Two things are absolutely necessary in order to make the cap ture. The mosquito must be allowed to light on one’s body. Then he must be allowed to unsheath his labum and begin his boring for oil, blood or what ever his appetite may crave. When the mosquito gets into this position he is absolutely at the mercy of the fellow whc se corpuscles he Is seeking to rifle. One may make a prisoner of the mos quito without stirring a hand or mov ing a muscle. How? Simply quit breathing. Sit still and hold your breath. The mosquito, with all the force of his wings and legs could not break away from the spot where he had sunk his beak, and the only re maining thing to do would be to slip one's finger up under its wings, get a good, firm, grip on its back and then twat him in the head or slay him in some other way. The method is very simple when we come to think of it. While we breathe, of course, the pores of the skin are kept open, if the body is in a normal condition. This condi tion, of course, is of great aid to the mosquito, although his lance is prob ably keen enough for him to break Into a corpuscle without this assist ance. When we stop breathing the pores close, the hole in which the mos quito has shoved his beak contracts, and it is Impossible for him to break away.”—New Orleans Times-Democrat.
