The late state populist convention
which met at Fremont had repre
sentation from only forty-five out of
the ninety counties. Why?
The Arcadia Champion prophesies
fusion of democrats and populists in
Nebraska again this year Aad that
will mean con-fusion to them, of
course.
The national brohibitionists have
selected a man named Swallow, from
Pennsylvania, as their candidate for
president. That name is more sug
gestive of irrigation than drouth.
The Times-Independent says the
populist comity convention will be
held*tbe last of July or the first of
August. This information is given
because of many inquiries in regard
thereto.
=— -
Henry Lehr, who was elected j
chairman of the Republican state
central committee, has resigned and
Representative Burgess of Lancas-;
ter has been cliosen in his stead.
Burgess is an active, energetic I
young man and will undoubtedly
prove a good man for the place.
Mrs. Lillie the David City woman
convicted of murdering her husband
gets no sympathy from the supreme
court, which upholds the decision of
the lower court. She is now work
ing for a rehearing and will take her
cast* to the IT. S. supreme court, if
possible. It is such dilatory tactics
in legal jurisprudence that creates
mob rule.
And now it is our own Windy V.
Allen who is getting lead strings
on the straight-out populist nomina
tion for president, if that should
pan out, just watch Windy swallow
Swallow on the stump. As a swal
lower on all occasions he has few
equals and no superiors. Later—
Thos P. Watson of Geo’gia receive !
the nomination, with T. H. Tibbies
the Lincoln editor fur second place.
If we were to express an opinion j
on the advisability of moving the
Republican state central committee
headquarters from Lincoln to Oma
ha it would be adversely to the prop
osition. The only thing that would
be advisable in the premises, is to
take it away from the Lindell fakery
and place it somewhere else in the
capital city. Everybody is onto the
Lindell hotel. It should be moved
from there anyway.
Of course, it’s none of our busi
ness, but our populist friends would
show a just appreciation of a man
who has done more tban any other
one power to build up that faith
in Sherman county by giving Bro
Ed Brown their nomination for rep
resentative. Now, we’re not saying
this as a republican nor as a rival
contemporary, but out of the full
ness of the heart the mouth speak
eth. We would like to see one hard
working editor who was considered
more to his party than a mere hew
er of wood and drawer of water.
Tom Denison, the noted Omaha
gambler, wanted over in Iowa for
alleged complicity in the great Pol-i
lock diamond robbery of a number
of years ago, and who has been fight
ing in the courts against his extra
dition, is in a pretty sure way of
having to go. The lower court has
decided Gov. Mickey was right in
granting the requisition, and now
Denison will take the matter up to
the court of last resort. When the
matter of Denison being wanted in
Iowa first came up, the big Omaha
boss put up a huge bluff that fore
was unnecessary; that he would be
on hand, but when it came to a show
down the big gambling bpss tries
by all subterfuges and legal techhio
alities to keep from answering the
Iow a summons. Too bad that the
law and courts can be used in such
way. Mo wonder there is a grow
ing contempt for law and tbe courts.
Death of Mrs. Maggie Hancock
Mrs. Maggie Hancock, relict of the
late Uncle Samuel Hancock, died July
1st at the residence of her parents, near
Hampton, this state, her death being
due to dropsy. Mrs. Hancock was well
known in and around Loup City. She
wrs especially highly esteemed for her
untiriog efforts in caring for her in
valid husband for years before his
death. Her duties were made doubly
hard in having the care of her daughter
Mary, who was also an invalid. Mrs.
Hancock was a memberot Shiloh Circle
No. 5, ladies of the Grand Army of the
Republic, where she will be greatly
misled. A letter to Mrs. Jessie Fisher
from Mrs. Hancock's daughter gives
particulars of her death. The funeral
occurried the 2nd instant from the
home of her father.
A Big Game on Tap.
Say, boys ! On Tuesday the 10th of
this month, the Creameries, of Lincoln,
one of the very best base ball clubs in
the state, are slated to play our boys on
the home diamond. This will be one
of the hottest contests of the season.
Our boys are just getting on their
base ball clothes in the very best way,
and are taking almost everything in
sight, and when the Creameries come
will give fliein a tustle for their whis
kers. Don't forget the day and da*e,
and let every man, woman and child in
Loup City and surrounding country be
present and see our boys do up the state
officials.
Bet you they named Parker at St.
Louis yesterday. Heh?
The St. Paul papers are kept so
busy with each other’s affairs they
have little time to devote to aught
else. They should qevote more
space to their readers’ interests.
Get into a back alley, you fiends, and
fight it out.
The opposition to Republicanism
persistently looks backward in look
ing forward, as their history proves.
They are now gazing back at Silas
Holcomb’s gubernatorial regime to
prove he is proper executive timber
again. We are of the opinion they
feel 'ack of suitable material in their
ranks or are prone very much to
hero worship. However, we doubt
Uncle Silas's willingness to be sacri
ficed on the altar of defeat.
Girls are not without resources.
A Minnesota girl aged 18 wanted
to marry her lover a boy of 20 but
the boy was aq orphan and had no
guardian to give consent to his mar
riage and as he was a minor he was
up a stump. But the girl was of age
according to the law’ of Minnesota,
and so she adopted the boy as her.

take out a marriage license in due
