Am! now Nebraski denmcra’s are
talking of folio* ing the good example
of Nebraska republicans and nominate
their candidate trom the U.S. senate
in state convention.
Is the Republican state convention
to name the proper material for U.
S. senator again? Thev made a
pretty good job out of it the last
time. If not, why Dot?
According to figures so far the state
will not be out so very much in their
officers paying tare or. r ilroads instead
of riding on passes, the amount show
ing to be less than 91600 per [ear at the
present rate.
The way candidates for slate offices
are spring up from every quarter of the
state, Sherman conn v v\ ill soon have
t'i dig up one or two. or be o»t bv our
o» n lonesome, as the only o< e not rcp
p sented in the scramble.
If it were a race between Mi 1'ard and
Rosewateer onlv, for U. S. senator,
would >ou take to the woods? We
wouldn’t. WTe would try to yank Ross
Hammond. Norris Brown, or some oth
er good and competent man into the
race *
Since Norris Brown won his decisive
victory ov- r the railroads in the tax
case, a number of the state papers are
falling all over each other in trying to
chase him into the U S senate The
state .might do a blamed sight worse
than to place Norris there, but wlien
We have a gftCd thing in themttomey
general’s office let’s not take anv risks.
A great many of the state papers
are giving it out that any man who
carries passes over the various rail
roads cannot have their support for
seats in either house of the state
legislature. Just think of it, going
to make senators and representatives
pay their way or walk! Isn,t it
awful to contemplate?
Now that Alice Roosevel has
adopted the Japanese kimona as an
article of wear, we mav expect the
president’s daughter to be followed
extensively in the fad. Undoubted
ly if Miss Roosevelt were to adopt
the Japanese method of fixing the
feet, we might expect thousands of
followers would be the result, and a
mincing step succeed the present
dainty walk of fashion’s darlings.
The big railroads in the east,
fuch as the Baltimore & Ohio,
Pennsylvania Central, and others,
have given it out that the politician’s
passes must go. And now it is re
ported that congressmen, to whom
the pass was a most pleasant per
quisite, propose to harass these
same corporations in various ways
till they return to them those favors.
Truly we live in strenuous times.
One day last week, a few miles north
of Loup Citv, some of the farmers earoe
across two deer, a buck and a roe, the
first seen in that section for many years,
Forgetful of the fact that the law pro
tects these animals, a chase was
organized bv a few neighbors, which
resulted in the killing of the female,
but the male escaped. Later Infor
mation reaching Lincoln of the occur
rence, a state game warden hied himself
to the locality to look after the matter,
and while we have heard no results,
the nrob abilriy is that some ope mav
have to oav de flv for their sport.
L iter—We understand two of tb* par
tic’uints. whose names we have not
le trned, were fined *100 each,
The report in the daily papers to the
effect that W. R Mellor, as newly
elected secretary of the State Agri
cultural Society, will be obliged to
move iris family to Lincoln and take up
his residence there, is without foun
dation in fact The resolution passed
was to the effect that the secietary
must have Iris office at Lincoln, which
he h s established in one of the north
rooms of the capitol building on the
ground floor, but Mr. Mellor will not
por does be have to move his residence
to Lincoln. are glad to note. Bv
the wav. the state papers al) contain
kindly mention and congratulations to
O ir towns nan over bis elevation to tout
responsible position, which is al-o n
honor to Loup City as well as to Mr.
Mellor.
Died.
At t he home of her daughter, Mrs.
W J. Fisher, of this city, Mrs. J L.
Baillie departed this life on last Thurs
day evening, Jan. 18,1906,at 10:20 p m.
Mrs. Baillie was born in Lanark coun
ty. Ontario, Canada, on the 5th day of
November, 1837, and was, at her
decease. 68 vis. 2 months and 13 days
old. .She *'embraced the Christian
religion at the age of 18 and until her
death never lost sight of the Golden
Rule. She was ever a faithful fol
lower of the Master and when death
closed her eves and stilled her voice
forever on etrth, it wes only to hear
the master say, ‘ Come up higher.”
She was married to James L. Baillie on
December 30Lh, 1864, aud in the spring
of 1867 emigrated with her hasband to
Todd county, Minnesota, In 1870 they
came to Nebraska and to Sherman
county, where thev took a homestead
three mile* west of Loup City, wnere
they lived tor 17 vears. since which
time they have resnjed »t Shelton and
Fremont. Last fall her daughter.
Mrs. W. J. Fisher, visit* d her parents
at Fremont and believing that slie
could lietter smooth the pathway of
her few remaining days by so doing,
persuaded h*r to return home with her.
where she passed away as above stated.
She was the mother of eight children,
tiveof whom are still living as follows;
W. L Baillie and Mrs. F. M. Wickwire
of Fremont, Mrs Geo. Benschoter of
Schill, Nebr.. and Mrs ff. J. Fisher of
this city, also her husband. J L.
Bailie, now of this city, who is left to
finish life's course alone. The funeral

Sunday, Jan. 21st, Pastor Wold preach
ing the sermon. The body was laid to

Card of Thanks.
We wish ' to extend our heartMt
thanks to the man) eood and kind
friends who so generously and con
siderately as-isteJ us in ministering to
the comforts of our beloved wife and
mo her during her long illness, and
whos • labors in 1 er behalf never ceased
until the last act of kinlness was com

Can we change our character? Yes,
if we <hange our body. Character is
formed of our ideas and our feelings
Now, it is quite clear that we neither
give ourselves feelings n >r ideas; ther
fore our character cannot depend upon
ourselves. If it did so deiiend. every
one would be perfect. When we do
not reflect we think ourselves masters
of all. When we reflect, we find that
we are masters of nothing. If I have
a wry nose and cut's eyes, I can hide
them behind a mask, and ear. 1 not do
more with the character that nature
has given me? Religion and morality
may curb the strength of the disposition
but they cannot destroy it. The1
drunkard in a cloister reduced to a pint
of cider per meal, will never more get
drunk, but he will always be fond of
wine. If we could change our character
we would give ourselves one and be
come the master of nature. Character
is bom in the individual, or his business
and cannot be borrowed, bought, bribed
or bargained for.

“ We have had a very good ve*r since J

forenoon walking or riding up as a
person desites: then take the car again
for the beach—only one and one-hal|
hours' ride partly through Los Angel s

At the beach you can take a bath ia
