No, Pete, we was’nt on the floor
of that convention.
The Times-Independent savs that
our “attack on R. J. Nightingale
was all uncalled for.” Of course it
isnt to he expected that Mr. Night
ingale would call for any thing of
the kind.
Some three weeks ago the Times
Independent brought out the names
of Yf. R. Mellor for state honors
that of candidate for State Auditor,
and R. J. Nightingale for County
Attorney. Birdsofafeatherroosttigbt

The m{inner in which the machine
part of tbe Loup City delegation to
tbe republican county convention
pulled tbe wool over the ejes of the
rural district delegates in the select
ion of a pop republican central com
mittee chairman, was simply a cau
tion. It will probably take another
sixty days to adjust the matter.
Meanwhile we will suggest a remedy.
The Loup City delegation to the
Republican convention was almost a
unit against this paper being repre
sented as a delegate to the congress
ional convention, simply because we
would'nt go wilh tbe gaDg in a tie
up for certain candidates. We have
never yet had tbe honor of being a
delegate to the congressional con
vention nor do we wish to have when
it becomes necessary to sacrifice
honest convictions to get it.
Now that the republican conven
tion has placed W. It Mellor at the
head of the republican county cen
tral committee it might be neeessa
rv to subscribe for the Times Inde
pendent in order to see tbe republic
an county convention call, should
it appear before next convention
time, as Mr. Mellor has been doing
all his business for several years
past with that paper. Surely he
will not take all his paying work to
that paper and then bring this work,
which ha9 always been publi shed at
the expense of the editor and as a
compliment to the republican party,
to the Northwestern office. Read
ers of tbe Times has often seen
$ 10.00 to lr».0O legal notices in that
paper over Mr. Mellor’s signature
that is no longer than a convention
call. Republicans, what do you
think about it? Do you call this a
good straight, clean organization?
There are still a few of our readers
who do not seem to understand why
the Times comes earlier in the week
than the Northwertern. If they
will compare the date of the two pa
pers it will explain itself. The fact
is that the Times is published on
Thursday and this paper is printed
on Friday. The Times made the
chaDge from Friday to Thursday
some time ago. We have not seen
fit to make such a change as it ofted
occurs that the latest news of the
week is of the most importance, but
although we are supposed to be 24
hours later than the Times, yet w*
will endeavor always to be on time
and to give the latest news possible.

KdUon’s Advice.
"Don't watch the clock,” was Mr.
Edison's advice to a young man who
recently asked him how to succeed.
Profoundly significant is that old Joke
about the laborer who left his pickax
hanging in the air at the stroke of
noon. A hanging pickax is the fittest
emblem for a confirmed clock-watcher
—and the pickax hangs always in the
air, never digs out a patch for him to
advance upon.

Dov« and Diver.
It seems a long cry from "dove” to
"diver,” and yet the two words are one
and the same in etymology. Dove was
originally a name given to sea gulls
(the divers), and only later came to
be restricted to its present sense. Even
now one of the guillemots (a kind of
auk) is called the Greenland dove.
Ixion and booby aptly describe the
awkwardness and clumsiness of the
great northern diver and gannet.
City** Mew Kftllrt'ii'l.
Damascus, tho oldest city in the
world, will scon have in its streets the
tracks of a railroad, on which the most
modern methods will prevail. For more
than 4,000 years the city got along
without means of transportation, al
though it was enterprising enough to
And a place In the Bible and the
world's history. Wheat has wrought a
change in Damascus now. Its annua!
output of the cereal is 10,000,000 bush
els. A boom town in the West was
never more lively than this relic of the
dead past.
Oldest Postmitster K<*lgn«.
Frank J. Schrleber, who Is believed
to be the oldest postmaster in the
United States, recently resigned. He
has decided that forty-three years'
continuous service for Uncle Sam Is
enough. He was appointed postmaster
of Cruger, Woodford county, Illinois,
during President Buchanan's adminis
tration.
Proposed Memorial to McKinley.
The late president was to have laid
the corner stone of the Ohio college of
government—one of the buildings of
the group of toe American university
at Washington—and it is probable that
the honor will now devolve upon Presi
dent Roosevelt. The building will be
of marble and will cost $250,000. The
suggestion has been made that it shall
be a memorial to President McKinley,
and that it shall he known as the Mc
Kinley memorial Ohio college of gov
ernment.
PUCKER UP AND WHISTLE.
Doctor* Declare the Erai-tlee I* Pro*
motlvv of Good Health
Another prescription for promoting
the health of the general public has
1 een given out by German and bwe
<»it;h doctors, who declare that nothing
tends more to a robust physical frama
than the practice of whistling. But
they insist upon a systematic and con
stant effort on the part of the benefi
ciary. Drill schools have been formed
where one of the chief exercises con,
sists in lying flat., back downward, on
a table and simply breathing and ex
pelling air from the lungs with regu
larity and vigor. Dumb-bells and In
dian clubs have been discarded by the
advanced health culturists in those in
stitutions. As a method of prolonging
life and strengthening the human
frame against sickness whistling is
said to be beyond compare. Develop
ment of chest and neck muscles is one
of the special advantages claimed for
the exercise. Long, deep breathing is
an essential for a good whistler, as It is
not permissible to draw In the breath
except during the intervals of the
pound production. Besides the good
that accrues to the performer s general
health, there is an advantage in know
ing how to whistle well. It is recog
nized as a certain form of musical art
and as such Is capable of giving pleas
ure to the listener.—Chicago Chronicle.
