The supreme court last Friday
denied a rehearing in the Haddix
murder case.
Support the Republican ticket. It
is clean and worthy from governor on
down to road overseers. You can en
dorse every one heartily.
We have faith to believe Unit with
the heavy burden of G. H. Gibson's
tacit support. Carle T. McKinnie will
be elected to the office of represen
tative this fall, not by reason of such
support, but in spite of it.
The populists and democrats seem
to have had serious difficulties in;
securing a candidate for this senator- i
ial district. They met at Ravenna j
last Saturday and after casting their
lines in various waters managed to
land a candidate who would stand in
the person of Mr. J. E. Johnson of
Kearney, whoever he is. Rid you
pver hear of him?
A practical joker claims Gibson is \
several months ahead of President j
Roosevelt in the adoption of the1
"reform" spelling. But whereas
Roosevelt has only accepted some!
three hundred word changes, Gibson j
changes the orthography of the entire
English language. If Josh Billings
were alive he would speedily die of
envy, or at least present the belt to
"Gbsn.”
Notice was received at the state
executive office at Lincoln last Sat:
urday of an additional allowance,
amounting to S9.4q3, from the United
States government, to pay soldiers of
the Nebraska volunteer regiments in
the Spanish-.A merican war for a short
interval of time between the dates of
their enlistment and their being
mustered in. It is being disbursed
from the adjutant general's office at
Washington, This is the fourth in
stallment of such moneys coming to
Nebraska men. Loup City and Sher
man county have a number of those
entitled to a portion of this money.
In G. H. Gibson's personal hatred
for J. S. Pedler and W. R. Mellor, any
friend of these gentlemen mast neces
sarily come under the ban of his
small nature. In our candidate for
county attorney, R. P. Starr, is this
meanness exemplified to an unwar
ranted extent. He even resorts to
malicious fabrications to help him
out in his evil mindedness, apd con
tinually puts into pmrds utterance^
never emanating from Mr. Stary. .1 u§t
what he expects to accomplish is the
defeat pf tlie republican candidate
for county attorney, but what he will
accomplish by his hellishness will be
to place himself before the public in
his true light as a foolish utterer of
untruths, but the defeat of Mr. Starr
he will not be able to accomplish.
If one Gibson, who by the grace of
the republican party once held the
office of county clerk, and who dis
graced himself and the party by his
actions in office, will turn his atten
tion to explaning, if he can, just why
he placed a half-mill levy on the tax
payers of this county, instead of obey
ing the mandates of the state board,
and why he took tax off the railroads
and placed pitra burdens of t^x^tiop
upon 4 certain per cent of the tax
payers. as shown ip J: S, Ped|er's
article in the ^qrtliwestern last week,
instead of venting his spleen upon
R. P. Starr, our candidate for county
attorney, and spitting out his spite
upon private citizens who are not
issues before the public, he will con-;
fer a favor upon the taxpayers at
large, and give valuable information
to those of the. property holders of
Sherman county who have been
gouged by his inanity.
R. P. Starr returned from Broken
Bow last Thursday evening, reporting
having had a most pleasant time at
the recent session of the Brotherhood
of America in that city. He com
pliments the people of Broken Bow
as a most hospitable people and who
made the about four hundred visit
ing members of the order most cor
dially welcome and provided them
with a grand banquet. Mr. Starr was
the presiding officer of the session,
and the papers of Broken Bow also
give him a handsome compliment
over his felicitous response to the
address of welcome. Mr. Starr was
made one of the four delegates to the
national session of the Brotherhood
to be held at Omaha later. We are
pleased to note the growing public
reputation of the nest county attor
ney of Sherman county.
Quite a change in the service on
the Union Pacific occurred Monday.
The much talked of Motor cars com
menced their work on Monday morn
ing. leaving here at 7:10 a. m., re
turning in the evening at 6:10. The
mixed train comes in at :i p. m., leav
ing again at '.i.'.io. This makes a
transfer of the train crew to St. Paul.
By this change in train service, we
fail to get our eastern mail till 11
I p. m., instead of 12 m. as formerly,
providing the mixed train is on time,
I but on Monday the mail did not get
here till supper time, making a delay
of five or six hours. There is a long
and loud wail from our business men
in consequence, and justly, too. and
Tuesday morning several complaints
were sent in to the postmaster gen
eral over the extremely poor mail ser
vice inaugurated, and it is believed
the government will not stand for
such work, and that the road will
have to give better mail facilities.
The Nebraska Experiment Station
j has just issued Bulletin 93, which
i covers the results of two experiments.
Experiment I is entitled "Roughness
supplementary to corn for two-year
old steers.” This test was undertaken
for the purpose of comparing alfalfa
prairie hay, and corn stover, each fed
singly and in combination, the grain
! being in every case snapped corn. Ex
periment II furnishes a comparison
' of wheat bran, oil-meal, cotton-seed
I meal, and alfalfa as sources of protein
when fed with shelled corn and prairie
! hay. The bulletin may be obtained
I upon w riting to the Nebraska Ex
; periment Station, Lincoln. Neb., for
