Republicans should see to it that what patronage they can throw to their party paper, especially in times when the pops have all the county tat, should do so. Repub lican papers, in this nick-o-tbe-hills have had a mighty hard row to hoe Jor lo, these thirteen years. Give ns your patronage, bring us new sub scribers, and we will do the rest, namely keep right on improving the old plant and publishing the best newspaper in Sherman county. The populists paper, here and there and at home are throwing out the insinuation that the Republican Judicial convention, for this the 12th, district was held at Grand Island because it was a railway town, but they failed to give any reason for bolding the populist state con vention at the same place. Grand Island is the most central point that could be reached by all four of the counties in this Judicial district, as the trains from each county tun direct to that point. Geo. Bramerhas been nomminated by the pops for supervisor of Bris tol and Hazard townships in place of Wm. Jakob. It does not seem possible that the pops of that dis trict could well afford to turn Mr. Jakob down. He has made one of the ablest supervisors they have ever sent to the county seat and to turn him down at the end of his flrsr term is certainly poor policy. There have been republicans niminated for office in by gone times which we would sooner see defeated than Mr. Jakob as his ability as an officer is good. G. II. Gibson, county clerk has made one of the most efficent and accommodating officers this county has ever had. He is ready at all times to give any information de sired and his manner of expediting matters with the business of the county board has been a great saviug of time to that honorable body and a great saviDg of money to the coud ty. Mr. Gibson should receive the harty support of the taxpayers of the county. With all of the increase business that has come to that office in the last y ear he has had bu^ little extra clerk Lire. With his able as sistant, Mr. Chas. Gibson he has kept the work well in hand aDd the records have been kept in an accur ate and pains taking manner. Vote for Mr. Gibson. Prof. Omey has recieved a very fine offer from the college at St. Paul, Nebr. to take charge of the branches of that school. They ol fered him $700 for the first year and $1,000 for the next. The Prof, is one of the best teachers in the west and while ia Litchfield has gained the respect and esteem of all, as 8 gentleman and teacher. Although receiving such a flattering offer ht entends to finish bis school in this place and enter the office of County Superintendent if elected, and in thal office we have no doubt but that h< will bring a high degree of training he has, to bear on the work anc natually improve, the schools. Yoi will make no mistake in supporting him.—Litchfield Monitor. Judge Barnes. The Norfork News, published at the home of Judge Barnes, has the following to say regarding the woik of the recent republican state con vention and of its nominee for su prerne judge: The opinion is unanimous that the convention could not have done better with a hundred candidates in the field for the supreme judgeship, as Judge Barnes is considered head and shoulders above any canidale that might have been named, in ability, experience and popularity. He will conduct a strong and vigor ous campaign and with unity of sentiment that prevades the party in every part of the state it is antici pated that if the voters are but inter ested his plurality will be a record breaker. It is a matter of comment that those who know the judge best are his warmest supporters, and it is believed that as the people of the state come to know him better his chances for a big rousing majority will increase. At home, his ability is well recog nized, his popularity is unquestioned and his home life is greatly admired. His position in the cummunity is secure, and his support by bis neigh bors will be unquestionably hearty and sincere. When he was actively engaged in the practice of law he was one of the attorneys sought iu cases requiring extra keeness and ability, and es pecially those that were likely to end in the supreme court, in which he is now to be chosen as one of the judges. Knowing so well how to conduct a case before that body, and his service during the past two years as one of the commissioners have fixted him for the position he now1 aspires to occupy, most thoroughly. The home life of Judge Barnes is particularly happy. The three sons who have grown to manhood’s estate under his guidance have known what it is to have father in greater degree than thousands of other boys. He has been at once a father and brother to them and it is well recog nized that the fraternity in the Judge’s home is of the firmest and best quality imaginable. The same companionship distinguishes him as a husband—and as a citizen, for wherever he is, on the streets or at a public meeting, there geniality and good cheer prevails. He has taken the highest degree in Masonry, and has received high honors at the hands of his lodge, which is but an indication of his social triumphs elsewhere. Judge Barnes was in i84G in Ashtabula county, Ohio, on a farm. His early years were spent as those of most farmers’ boys. When old enough, he taught school in the win ters and continued fuiming summers. When seventeen years old he enlisted in battery E of the First Ohio light artillery, the dato being January 1, lHf»4. He served more than half of a three years’ enlistment, being mustered out July 10, 18G5. The judge was educated in the common schools of Ohio and at the Grand Kiver institute at Austinburg, Ohio. He studied law in a law of fice in Jefferson, Ohio, coming to Nebraska in the spring of 1871. He has lived here over thirty-two years. He was admitted to the bar and com menced the practice of law at Ponca where he lived for more than seven teen years. He moved to Norfork aud has lived here more than fifteen years. The judge was married in November of 1874 and has three sons, each one a graduate of the stale university. John B. Barnes, jr., is superintendent of the city schools of Tekamah and has been admitted to the bar of Nebraska. Guv W. Barnes, the second son, is in the employ of the American Beet Sugar company here having grad uated in the scientific department at the state university. Alfred Kim ball Barnes, the third son, is a fel low aud one of the instructors in the departments of mental philosophy in the university. He graduated in , 1902. Judge Barnes has had a long and honorable career as a lawyer and public official. He was elected dis trict attorney for the Sixth Judicial I district of the state whpu the c^msti tution of 1875 was adapted. At the expiration of his term he was again elected and served until January of 1879. He was theD appointed judge of the district to succeed K. K. Valentine, who was elected to congress. He was nominated and elected judge or the district in the fall *of 1879 and served the full term which expired Jan. 1st. 1884, He declined a renomination and turned his attention to the active practice of law, engaging in general practice. He was appointed to the supreme court commission January 1, 1902 and is now a member. Judge Barnes has always been an active, ardent republican and bas a1 tended every republican convention since and including the one held in 1872. W. B. Keown met with quite a loss iu the burning of a part of his alfalfa hay on his his farn north of the city. The fire originated from chemical action, one cutting of the bay being pnt up too green. It was noticed Sunday night that trie hay was heatiug out it was not supposed that it was getting hot enough to endanger the property. But Mon day morning it was observed that the stacks were on fire and lively work was indulged in to save the property. It was necessary to haul away a considerable portion of the stack in more or less burning con ditioD to get rid of the fire. The combustion was in one end of the stack luckily, so that the difficulty was that much removed. Mr. Keown estimates the loss at abiut 25 tons. Had the fire gotten be yond control so as to take the whole stack it would have been impossible to have saved the stacks of former cuttings, which stood near by. As a result of his experience Mr Keown advocates smell stacks of alfalfa and that they be placed not too closely together.—Ord Quiz. ASHTON NEWS (BY JOHN F. SMITH.) Ye Ashton editor wishes to ap poligize for a notice we put in last weeks items in regard to a matri monial venture of Dr. Bogan. It was intimated to us as a joke and we took it as serious.

Familiar Tune the Means of Rejcidru Youth from Sla. jry. A remarkable incident is that of a Scottish youth who had learned a home to sing the old psalms that were then as household words to them In the kirk and by the fireside. When he grew up he wandered away from his native country, was taken captive by the Turks, and made a slave in one of the Barbary states. But lie never forgot the songs of Zion, although he sung them in a strange land and to heathen ears. One night he was solacing himself in this manner, when the attention of some sailors on board of an English man-of-war was direct ed to tho familiar tune, “Old Hun dred," as it came floating over the moonlit waves. At once they surmis ed the truth that one of their country men was languishing away his life as a captive. Quickly arming them selves, they manned a boat, and lost no time in effecting his release. What a Joy to him, after eighteen long years passed in slavery.
