J. \V. BURLEIGH. E«l. ami Pnb.
The Republicans of Howard in
county convention last week de
clared lor Rurkett.
It looks like Parker as the demo
cratic nominee for president. And
John Maher and his typewriter are
for him, too.
W. E. Andrews is bound to break
into the IT. S. senate, but not just at
present, we think. However he has
Dietrich and Adams county for him
which helps a little(V).
The nominations made by the
Sherman county Republicans in con
vention last week could not have
been bettered. The convention was
throughout one of perfect harmony,
each and every delegate striving to
do the best for party weal. The
naming of Judge Aaron Wall as its
choice for state senator was an
honor well and worthily bestowed.
Judge Wall was the peer of any
man in the last senate, in fact was an
acknowledged leader of the majori
ty, and received the closest atten
tion on all sides when debating any
question before that body. In com
mittee, the Judge was a Wall of
adamant against any unwise meas
ures referred to his committees, and
he was evei ready and with patience
to hear all sides of every question,
and most quick of discernment and
safely on the side of justice. He
should and undoubtedly will receive
a re-nomination at the hands of the
senatorial convention. The choice
of Hon. II. Smelser for representa
tive and of J. S. Pedler for re-nom
ination to the office of county attor
ney are also especially pleasing and
are in accord with the united voice
of Sherman county Rebublicans.
All in all the Roosevelters are proud
of their convention’s work.
Week before last, we questioned
Brer. Brown’s accuracy in stating
that Colorado was gloriously Re
publican, or at least he so construed j
our asking how many and who the
the Republican officials of that state
were, and mentions, in a clipping,
the names of Governor Peabody and
Senator(?) Wolcott, and no others,
nor of them saye only as probable
delegates at large to the National
convention, a matter entirely for- j
eign to our question, and closed his
clipped nonsensical nonsense with
the sage, thongh a little stereotyped,
expression: “Brush up a little
brother and be careful about showT
ing your ignorance.” Our brother
is evidently laboring under the de
lusion that “a drop of water is a
whole duck pt*nd,” and granting
God was wdtb the Republicans in
Colorado and helped them elect an
executive, that fact alone does not
till the Republican hopper. We
shall have to run the risk of being
again denounced as ignorant by our
brother by still hailing from Mis
souri on the question of Colorado’s
Republicanism by asking our wail
brother to secure more explicit in
formation from that fountain of all
populist inspiration, the Nebraska
Independent, as regards the politi
cal status of that lair of w ild silver
ideas. We can scarcely conceive the
improbable thought that a Republi
can legislature w7ould choose Tom
Patterson for U. S. senator, hence
the legislative branch of the state
government can scarcely be con
ducted a la Republican. As to the
representation in the U. S. senate,
it seems a little misleading to make
mention of Citizen Walcott as Sen
ator^?) Walcott, doesn’t it, brother?
But don’t get excited, dear brother,
just because we are putting you
through political kindergarten ex
amination. You will not pass into
a higher grade by confining yourself
to parrot expressions about your
teaher’s qualifications. Cofine your
self to the examination strictly.
The next lesson may be harder.

Score one for Ilearst. He cap
tured the Iowa democratic conven
tion yesterday by a narrow margin.
It was a* how ling time.
Hon. II. II. Baldridge of Omaha
will be temporary chairman of the
Republican state convention, with
A. B. Allen the governor’s best man
as secretary.
The St. Louis Exposition has
opened with great eclat, or words to :
that effect. The papers are now
full of it, but soon it will get as
stale as Russo-Jap reading.
On Tuesday the supreme judges
listened to the voice of the people
as expressed by the press of the j
state and appointed Harry Lindsay j
for court reporter. You are all
right, now, Sir Judges.
Would it not be a good idea to organ
ize a Roosevelt club in Loup City?
A club of 200 could easily l>e organized,
and there is a growing sentiment in
favor of such organization Who will
start the ball rolling?
-
The good people who have stren
uously supported the idea that the !
erratic Carrie Nation was doing Di
vine work with her hatchet, can now
enjoy(V) the news thst she has been
engaged as a museum freak at a
salary of £300 per week.
M L Fries of Arcadia, we under
stand, iS a candidate for re-election
to the state senate from old Custer.
He made a splendid record in the
last legislature, and should be re- j
turned without a dissenting voice.
If we were up there, he’ would get
our best licks for his return, sure.
With the appointineut of Harry
Lindsay as supreme court reporter,
will come his probable retirement
as chairman ol the Republican state
committee. With that will come
the naming of a new chairman. :
What is the matter with Judge Wall j
of Loup City for that responsible
place? Aaron Wall is well equipped!
for the duties of that execudive office j
has a state w ide acquaintance and
would fill the bill to perfection. He
is already mentioned by prominent
newspapers of the state in connec- j
tion therewith, and wre heartily sec
ond his selection. Make Judge Wall
chairman of the Republican state
committee by unanimous consent.
Lincoln S'ar: If taxes are raised
jnder the new revenue law the fault
will lie with extravagant county
commissioners and not with the
law itself. Contrary to the opinions
dow being expressed over the state
against the law, it was not the inten
tion of the legislature to increase the
huiden of taxation, but to make it
possible for all property to be reached
that heretofore has evaded taxation ;
owing to the defective memory of the
property holder and the lax system
of making assessments.
The law has not raised the value
of property in the state, but merely
makes it easier to arrive at ttie true
valuation and with all property prop
erly listed the annual levies can he
reduced. Under the old law a piece j
of property of the real value of one
million do liars would be assessed at!
$100,000 or less, on a levy of ten
mills. Under the new law the prop
erty will be assessed at twenty per
cent of its actual market value,
or $200,000, and the levy can be
reduced to five mills. The law does
not contemplate the paying off of
the state and county indebtedness
in one year or in two or three years.
The administrative expenses of the
several counties have not been in
creased and when the county com
missioners meet to make the annual
levy all that will be necessary will
be to considerthe increased property
return at its true value and make
the levy accordingly.
Nebraska’*; most suceessfull poultry
raiser is Mrs. A. II. Hansel of Loup
City, and she has just won fame fcr
herself and her state in the international
egg-laying contest now being held in
New South Wales. Her pen of six rose
comb brown leghorn hpns andonecock
eral has led the entire seventy pens for
nine consecutive months, having to its
credit for the nine months 1,048 eggs,
which is thirty-four ahead of the near
est competitor. Mrs.IIansel has a chick
en farm of; 320 acres. She has raised
poultry for the last twenty years, and
for the last ten only pure-bred stock.—
