What if the Times did see “our” Joe posting up bills. He’ll be elect ed anyway. farmers arc most two busy to talk politics just now, but from what is beard the republican nominees have nothing to tear from the vote even in Sherman county. There are many here-to fore populists who are straight out for the republican ticket. ‘•Our foe”, Joe Pedler, ibe wid dow’s friend, the republican nom iuee for county attorney, and in short the utan who is causing the Times man so much concern, ie> the man that is going to he elected this fail, and don't you forget it. Alvin Clark, the republican nom inee for representative is making a splendid canvass. He has the kind- j est regard fur his opponant and only differs with him in a political sense. Mr. Clark is well educated and un : interesting conversationalist. He ^is winning votes every day. The Times got a little funny last: week and garbled an article which we printed away back in 1893 and contrasted it with what we have to j say now, hut the comparison was mild to that which we made of bis productions when ho turned a com plete handspring and landed in the ; middle of the pou-o-cratic camp. At that time, in one issue of the Times he, as a good republican, denoumced the populist party and spoke of the populist candidates in a most scathing manner and in the very next issue he a3 good as call them angles just sprouting tittle wings. Come over and have a peanut, Ed. On account of being hway to the state fair last week there were sev eral things wo did not mention and one of them was the call we received from Chas. lteidel, who brought us a sample of what is known as ^ wild rye. This plant, according to medical science, is very poison ous, and if stock is allowed to eat of b, disease will follow. It produces an incurable disease which invariably results in lingering sick ness and death. Mr. Reidel, being a man of a scientific turn of mind, his, through his farm journal, the Twenliih Century Farmer, been closely observing the bnlitins issued by the Nebraska Experiment Station an finds that the plant referred to is as stated, of a disease breading character. All farmers and stock raisers should study these subjects well. They should write to the Ex periment Station for these bnlitins or better jet, lake a good farm journal in which these bnlitins are published. The wild rye, if examined e! >s»dy, has a long black kearncl, in which the death dealing substance is said to bo located. Ex actly this sumo plant with many others of a poisonous character was ^~on exhibition at the Station s head quarters on the fair ground. DIED. At Lis residence, at Uound Grove I'usler county, Nebraska, on tbe uigbt of September 7, James Bing bam, one of tbe oldest settlers of Custer county passed into tbe great hereafter. Last Sunday was des tined to be bis last day upon earth, it found him at bis borne amoDg bis family. But while tbe day was yet youug, be began to sulfur from a return of bis old trouble, heart fail ure. The disturbance in his breast did not become alarming for seyerul hours after its return. It seemed to be destined to run only its usual course and then to probably sub side for some days. But alas tbe seciets of tbe future are deeply bid den. Tbe day bad rolled by and midnight was approaching. Some members of tbe family bad retired for the night, when the patient turn ed '.o bis wife aud said “I an going to die.” These words were bis last. Their echo bad not ceased in tbe room before the dew of death was settling upon bis brow. Not one struggle or quiver marked the end. Tbe great message bad been deliver ed in sileuce and was obeyed with the promptness of a soldier to our supreme in command. Tbe dread malady, heart failure, bad for years been threatening the exbistance of tbe bead of tbe Bingham bouse. It bad caused long mouths of excrusiating, but patient suffering. Week after week bis life bad been despared of in the past, but tbe strong iron will of tbe man asserted itself, and each time lie tallied and recovered his strength. He bad indeed of late been con grutulating himself on bis perrni nnnt recovery. Ho was looking for ward to a prosperous and happy future. But subsequent events prove that be reckoned without bis host. Mr. Bingham, with Ins young fam ily were among the first settlers of Custer county. They entered a pre emption at Round Grove in June, 187 7. There were very few settlers in the county at that time. No rail roads, no wagon roads, bridges, churches or schools. It required rugged ami brave men to face the privations and hardships of this frontier in those days. The dark days which so often came never daunted him. He fought on year after year with that confidence which has inspired men to rear cities and build empires in the west. Grand empire builders they were, the pio neers who conquered the “desert.” But this one has gone to bis last re ward. He was a loving Lusband, a kind father and one of the truest of friends. Honest and upright in all his dealings He was a strong man in his neighborhood, liked and respected by all. He leaves behind him a wife ODe daughter and two sons to mourn his loss^aud take up the work which he has left. At his beautiful home in the Mud dy Valley can be found a farm of a section of land which testifies more eloquently than words, the judge ment of the man who staked it out more than a quarter of a century ago. It is indeed the beauty spot of all Nebraska. The Rev. Mr. Wood, minister of the Baptist church at Mason City conducted the funeral service. An imposing prosession of his friends bore the remains tenderly to his silent tomb. HIS SIGHT THKEATKMEU “While picnlclng last month my 11 year old boy was poisoned by some weed or plant,” says W .

One of the most profitable products of Bulgaria Is the oil or attar of i roses, which amounts to more than | 11,000,000 annually. The town of rfhipka, where was fought the decisive battle of the Tui ko-Russlan war, on the 7th of July, 1877. Is the center of the rose gardens. H. M . Mathew has called our at ! tention to a letter which he received ' from Mr. Geislheardt the attorney for the Logan and Loup City town ship boud holders, in which the writ er says that he had not employed Mr. Mathew as attorney. But he further wrote that the bonds must be paid, that the people of these townships voted aud issued these bonds and sold them to innocent purchasers, and that they might as well pay up at-d lock pleasant about it. Mr, G eistboardt infers that it was evi deotfrem the start that such would bo the inevitable result of the con test. Why, of coarse it was, and most anyone with a child's intel ligence might have known it. Per haps it was the lack of this intelli gence that caused Mr Geistbeardt to conclude that Mr. Mathew’ serv ices was do longer ueeded. At any rate it must have been the lack of something that caused Mr. Mathew to advise the township boards that they could defeat the bonds, by putting up f tf>0 tetain er foes and severul hundred dollars costs, agregaling nearly ft* 00.00 of which it cost these two townships to apply his remedy. DOCTORS IN MADAGASCAR. French UatabllRhlng Free Itlapenaarj Service Throng boat Iilkud. The French have just begun to car ry out a great work of humanity in Madagascar. Medical missionaries were until recently the only doctors in the island. The Governor General several years ago established a school of medicine and a hospital at the cap ital. The medical school has already turned out fifteen native physicians who have proved themselves compe tent to practice medicine. With his white medical staff and the intelligent natives who are being trained to practice medicine, the Governor Gen eral now expects widely to extend the service. He has therefore decreed that all branches of the medical ser vice in the island shall be consoli dated in one organization and that hospitals similar to that in Antana narivo, where 125 sick persons may be accommodated at one time and where free medical service is dispensed to applicants numbering 100 to 150 a day, shall be established in the larger towns. Many natives trained for med ical service will travel from one vil lage to another distributing medi cines and treating the ill. Particular attention will be given to the care of children, as the mortality among in fants is actually 40 per cent of the total deaths. Pamphlets are now be ing printed in the Malagasy language giving rules of hygiene. It is hoped that the measures which are being taken to improve the health of the people may result in the rapid In crease of the population, which now numbers only 2,500,000. The Governor General says that in a half century the population of Madagascar should be double.—New York Sun. LIQUOR LICENSE NOTICE. Notice is hereby given that Henry J.
