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.

SAVED BY A SONG.
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.
