ASHTON IN BRIEF.
The editor went to Ashton Iasi
Friday afternoon and enjoyed sev
eral hours renewing old acquaintance
ami making new ones among the
many new comers in and around
that thriving little village. Ashton
is located u. the best farming dis
trict in Sherman county. She is
surrounded by a class of industrious
farmers and is inhabited by enter
prising and prosperous merchants
and business men.
Among the first to great us was
E. G. Taylor, who gave us a friendly
hand shake as we alighted from the
train. Of course Mr. Taylor was
not so much of a straDger to us as
he frequently comes to the couoty
seat and hardly ever failed to make
this olflee a call. But there are
others whom we used to know but
as it had been so long since we bad
dropped off at Ashton had almost
lust track of them.
For instance Mr. Taylor has a
brother-in-1 aw. A N. Conklin, by
name we believe, although we had
almost forgotton the initials. Now
that we recall it, Mr. Conklin used
to sign his name “Pansy,” for short.
He may be more particularly des
cribed a* the jolly fat man of Ashton
(tlieie are none fatter or jollier.) We
found .Mr. Conklin busily engaged
in putting up a pen for some
thorough-bred chickens for which he
paid a handsome price, while Mrs.
Conklin and the acommodating clerk,
Mr. Wickman, were wailing on the
customers at the store Mr. Conklin
has an up-to-date stock of goods and
we are told has become a heavy
land owner in the east part of the
county . He is a new subscriber.
B. Tuk&czeweaki, for seventeen
teats a resident of S terrnau county,
and who has a lovely farm, house and
barn just east of Ashton was anoth
er who gave his name for a new sub
scriber.
We took occasion also to drop in
Oil the euterpnsing harness maker,
A BontiDek, who is pleasantly locat
ed in a nice brick building ami who
is enjoying a good trade. lie not
only wanted his name enrolled on
our subscription list but stated in a
decided way that be believed in ad
vertising and emphasized the state
ment by giviug us an ad. which will
appear next week.
U W. Marvel, of the firm of Mar
vel & Co. was right busy with his
customers when we entered their
large store, but he took time to
shake hands ai d when the rush was
over showed us the interior of his
store from cellar to selling. Mr.
Marvel is associated with Mr. H.
Sraelser in the general merchandise
business. They have, by far, the
best store building in the county,
not even the county seat town bus
iness houses excepted. Their store
is 40 by 75 feet iu size, with double
deck and basement. The basement
is full width of the building and
about 50 feet long while the uppei
deck is conveniently arranged with
plenty of floor 9pace on both sides
and in the rear. They carry a very
large assortment of general mer
chaudise.
we learueu iiiat asuiuu wno
to have a uew Catholic parsonage in
the near future. The house is t<
cost nearly $2,000.00.
Mr Frank Badura and I. M Pol
ski, two ex county officials gave us
a friendly greeting as we entered
their places of business. Mr. Ba
dura is another one of the leading
merchants of Ashton and I. M.
Polskt is at the head of the Bank ol
Ashton. They are doin^ a good
business. Both ol these gentlemei
are ex county treasurers, aDd eael
have chosen Ashton as a permaneu1
business location.
While Ashton is a very busy towr
yet it is not a large place, and so
during our short stay we were prtv
elaged to see nearly all her citizens
Among them were Andrew Gorstka
present county supervisor; An tor
Kwiatowski, Sum Blumer, justice
of the peace and an old pioneer; W
II. Sestak, proprietor of the cit;
meat marketand a new subscriber t'
this paper; John Zink proprietor o
the Ashron restaurant; and also ou
old friend J. P. Taylor, for year
the leading stock buver of the towr
Mr. Taylor is the same friendly pet
son as when we first know hit
many years ago, when we were
boy and lie figured as now, prom
nently in the up nuilding of th
county. Fred Wiekman is anoiln
of those pioneers who has stemrac
the tide of adversity and is now nea
ihe top round of the ladder of pr<>!
petit!. Frauk L. Jezewskt aud S
Galzewski are two more prominent
business men of Ashton, and then
again there is Vincent V. Btza who
pariicurlariy rt<|uested us to send
him a sample copy of this, the of
ficial paper of Sherman county, lie
is a wagon maker by trade and open
ly declared that be was going to
stop some of bis foreign papers and
support his home paper in the future.
But Tmn Jamrog! what of him?
Well every body told us, and every
thing indicated it, that Tom was one
of the busiest men in the burg. Mr.
Jamrog lias so enlarged bis hard
ware and implement buildings as to
hold seveval car loads of goods, and
lie has got the goods to fill them.
We will venture to say that he has
one of the finest lines of goods ever
placed in a hardware store in any
town the size of Ashton.
Theo. Ojendyk, the acoinmodating
postmaster and lumber dealer also
met us with a smile which made us
fed glad that we had taken a day
off to see Ashtou Bights and learn
Ashton ways.
Dr. L. I Bogen, leading druggist
and physician of AshtOD. was also
one who greeted us with a friendly
hand shake. He was deeply absorb
ed in a game of chess when we en
tered, but he seemed just as glad to
se« us as if we wanted a botile of
patent medicine or had called with
a broken arm. The doctor has not
been located at Ashton many years,
but nevcr-the less lias established a
reputation as physician and surgeon
that has secured for him a good prac
tice and the confidence of the people.
In fact Ashton is all right, her
business men are ail right, and her
enterprise and push is not to be out
done by any of the western towDS.

LINCOLN LETTER
Lincoln, Neb., March 23, 1903.
Ed. Northwestern:
On Friday night the revenue bill
came over from the house to the sen
at 3 and whs read I he first time, and
on Saturday morning it was read the
second time ami referred to the com
mittee on revenue. From there it
will be reported to the senate, Mon
day or Tuesday, and will probably
be passed by them on Thursday or
Friday of this week, with possibly a
few minor amendments. There is
not much doubt that it will be signed
by the governor this week, so prepare
to elect a county assessor next year.
However, as the law does not con
template any change for this year,
ami there beit g no emergency clause,
it will not become a law in fact until
July 1st, which will give ample time
to arrange and provide schedules
and other matters to begin the new
work for the year 1904.
Houes roll No. 70, known as the
Ramsey Elevator bill, has also passed
the house and been read in the sen
ate the second time. This is a su
perior measure to the Brady bill and
will probably be passed by the senate
in a few days. It has the emergency
clauge and will go into effect at once,
so the farmers may begin the build
ing of elevators as soon ss they
desire.
By a clever maneuver, Represent
ative Rouse of Hall county got a
resolution through the house. Friday
afternoon, that the appropriation
bills should be the business of that
body until they were all passed,
meaning the four large ones, provid
ing salaries and expenses tor the
state and its institutions for the next
two years. This probably means the
adjournment of the legislature not
later than Anril 4th, as it gets out
of the way all necessary legislation
in time to give the senate an oppcr
tunny to pass them without holding
over past the sixty day limit. The
house does not seem to care about
passiog many of the senate's bills.
So far, twenty-three bills have been
enacted into laws, only three of which
were senate files, while there are some
1 forty senate files in the bands of the
' house. The present outlook is that
but few more measures will get to
the governor for his signature than
i are absolutely necessary to care foi
■ the iuteresis of the state.
There are a few bills, known as
, personal spite measures, still on 'he
[ calendar, but with small prospects ol
r success, for neither house seems t<:
3 care to take up quarrels or personal
' matters that will provoke a contro
versy. And especially is this so it
» the senate, as ttiev now have tin
- heavy part of the session s work he
fore thorn, and the sitting committer
j seems determined to recommend only
r important measures to their body,
i | The senate, on Friday, indefinitely
>•' postponed ihe“L*ndlord'a Lien'' bill
a measure that lias been before every
legislature for tbe past sixteen year*,
ami bits been tbe cause of defeating
for a second term every man who in
troduied it; and well it ougat, as it,
by law, forces a chattel mortgage iiu
every renter for not,only the crop
hut iiis stock and farming utentils as
soou as he takes possession of the
place.
There is always a tendency of the
stronger and wealthier people to en
croach upon and bind np by taw the
unfortunate or poor, hut so far this
session they have received no en
couragement at the hands of this
legislature, and no one has been more
watchful and vigorous iu the inter
ests of the common classes than Sen
ator Wall, who is ever readv, in the
committee room or on the floor, to
ilt fend and protect them.
The measures to re apportion the
state into judicial and legislative dis
tricts are not meeting with pro
nounced success, as they will piovoke
considerable debate, and neither
body will have time to give them the
attention they require.
Senator Wall's pure food bills are
on special file, having been placed
there by the sifting committee, and
will probably receive the attention
of the senate this week. Noryb.

Views on Ambition and Dys
pepsia.
"Dyspepsia,” wrote Eugene Field,
"often incapacitates a man for endeavor
and sometimes extinguishes the lira of
ambition.” Though great despite his
complaint Field sutferod from indiges
tion all his life. A weak, tired stomach
can’t digest your food. It needs
rest. You can only rest it by the uso
of a preparation like Kodol, which re
lieves it of work by digesting your food.
Rest soon restores it to Its normal tone.
