Do you know, the godfather of some booms is enough to disintegrate them We have the veriest contempt for the fellow who will besmirch the name of fair woman in an attempt to down a man whom he liates. Among those spoken of for governor, we hear the name of Dempster, the Beatrice windmill man. He should be able to sail along very smoothly, by forcing the wind in his favor, if nec essary. If accepting a salary of 88 per day for presiding over the lower house of the legislatnre is a recommendation for the gubernatorial nomination, then Judge Sears has the edge over Rouse about three-fold, for Sears got three times the graft out of it that Rouse did. Before we get into the Norris Brown baud-wagon. we would very much like to know the kind of motive power pro pelling it If it is the Harrison gas, wiih Biother Bill as “chauffer,” we’ll have to do some hard thinking first. The Franked kind is not so bad, but the other is too Bdlious. The latest to enter the race for governor Is Senator Sheldon of Cass county As Mortensen stepped out, two men trora the same territory shied their castors into the ring. They were Judge Paul Jessen and George Sheldon. Now we understand that Jessen gives way to Shelden, and with the under ►t nding that J< ssen is to slip into the shoes of Pollard, congressman from the second district, and that Shelden, a cousin of Pollard, is to help Jessen to oust the present congressman, who has strung sentiment growing against him If Jessen ts unto any such game, we hope Shelden aud he will both get left. As w* said last week. Treasurer Mortensen his withdrawn l>is name from the list of gubernatorial possi bilities 'This lias given an impetus to a-iiumber-of fat riots (?) who des're to enter tlie race. Among these we notice the name of ex-Speaker House, who is so little known that his front name escapes our memory This Rouse is th* man who t'ied to carve fame while speak"rof the last legislative house by placing a stigma on the honesty of employes* by making them appear each morning at a certain place to enroll their names, to show they were present and entitled todiaw pay tor that dav. But while Rouse exhibited such super lative honesty in his supervision over the employees, he was very willing to take from the state treasury 83 per day for pres ding over the house, which Attorn* y General Brown decided was c'.early unconstitutional. and d'd so draw $60 for the first 20 days as pre siling officer, and so far as we know still has it credited to him, in face of the tact th-t he knows he has no right to it. And this is the kind of s man who poses »s suitable material for chief executive of this stat*! Bah! And this is only one of the many reasons why he shouldn't be countenanced Old Kalntnck in Border Days Arminiu? P. Cullev of Loup City, one of the leading bankers of Nebraska, is attending to business interests in Omaha for a few days. Mr. Culley is president of t hree banks, F rst National at Loup City, Greely and State Bank of Sargent, be-ide which he was the or ganizer of the First National Bmk at Sin Pedro, Cal. He is also a big land owner. Mr. Culiev is a Kentuckian, born and Irei; in other words a thoroughbred, but while retaining warm affections for his native state he prefers Nebraska to live and work In. During his boyhood days in old “Kentuck’’ Mr. Culley wit nessed one of the many stirring events which were enacted there in the old “border days.” '• I was at Brandenburg the day the Jam s and Younger boys were a't eked by town piopie who were scouring the country for some “hoss” thieves ” sa!d Mr Cullev. “I wa« only a lioy ab ut 10 y- ars of age. I rememlier Frank James and Cole and Jim Younger went into the old hotel and were followed bv an angrv mob. The people didn’t know \» lio the Youngers and James were; all they knew was that they were strangers and it was a bad tiling in tho«e days to be a stranger in a community where » “iioss” theft had been perpretrated First thing I knew some one whipped nut a pistol and began shooting. A fusilade followed and when it was over Jim Younger and Frank James were pretty badly shoi up They managed to get nut of the hotel and scramble up over the mountain to *n old doctor’s , pl»ce where they received treatment. Public sentiment was against the men who shot the strangers after the first excitement blew over, for it became anparent they were not the horse th eves. "And do von know it was only a few years ago that the people of Branden burg really came to know who the men were that were shot thxt day.” Mr. Cullev Is an «dv . and M,s. Chas.
