J. W. BURLEIGH. Ed. and Pub. j
And now he likens himself to George 1
Washington. Phew!
The World-Herald claims the elec
tion of its editor to congress is a
democratic victory. Where do the
populists come in?
One wouldn't suspect I)ar Grow of
being such a sprinter as his vote evi
dences. But it only proves that
appearances don’t always appear.
And now it is said the edict has
gone forth from “Me and the Little
Fellow’’ that Charley Buesliausen
comes next. Of course it’s all up
with Charley.
Outside of four or possibly five
in Nebraska. (Sherman, of course, in
cluded) there seems to lie little evi
dence of populism being a force to
count much.
Just to think of it, Colorado’s new
governor a republican and a Meth
odist preacher at that. Colorado sees
Nebraska of four years ago and goes
one farther, along that line.
i Edgar Howard, humorously desig
nated as “Judge” Howard by those
who really know him least, the re
trievor of the democratic huntsmen
of the state, is another one of the few
democratic editors of the state who
have attempted to make a successful
paper in the Fremont Herald,s un
disputed territory and have fallen
; down in the attempt. Howard lias
: sold out his interest in a newspaper
j there and will confine his efforts to
his democratic paper at Columbus.
I There is not a more over-rated news
I baper in Nebraska than this same
i Edgar Howard. But there is yet
some chance for him. as he lias lately
, discarded his long, flowing locks, and
1 to a great extent done away with his
old-time affected drawl.
I And now it is claimed that the feel
i ing between the democrats and popu
lists of this state has reached the
climax of ill feeling, over the results
of the late election, and they will
divorce themselves from one another.
The democrats claim, and not with
out justification, that the populists
knifed Shallenberger over the entire
state at the late election, and will go
it alone hereafter. But they will not.
Their only hope of doing up republi
canism in Nebraska lies in occupying
the samejbed with populism, and they
do not propose to sleep with cold feet
as long as they can stand a chance to
warm them against the populist body.
ilThe church service that drags will
not draw men.”

Rockville Items.
Rufus Hiddleson of Loup City is
attending the Rockville school.
Louie Hansen went to Dannebrog
to attend the funeral of his grand
mother. who died last Saturday at the
age of 71 years.
Hans Hehnke had his house re
shingled last Friday. Johnson Bros,
did the work.
W. M. Smelser has installed a new
lighting system consisting of seven
mantles.
Jas. Coulter commenced husking
corn Monoav, hauling it from the field
to market at 26c per bushel.
C. Nielson went to Loup City last
Tuesday.
Mr. D. I. Price went to Riverdale,
first station out of Kearney on the
Callaway branch, where he will take
charge of the U. P. station. Mr. Price
is an old pioneer of Rockville, being
the oldest resident. He will be sadly
missed by the people who are sorry to
see him go as he was a man who al
ways attended strictly to business.
He came here in 1891. W. C. Steven
son takes his place.
A Prophecy tor 1908.
During the last thirty years an as
trologer who resides in New Jersey
has made some remarkable forecasts
of public events, and those prophecies
always “printed in the Washington
Post, have attracted wide attention.
Last week the New Jersey seer gave
to the Post the following prophecy
regarding elie campaign of 1098:
The democratic convention will be
held at Denver, and will nominate
Bryan. The utmost good feeling wiil
prevail and the party be thoroughly
and harmoniously united. The repub
lican convention, meeting in Philadel-!
phia, will nominate Roosevelt on the
third ballot through secretary JTfat’s
forces going over to him. The nest
high man will bs Vice President Fair
banks. Mr. Bryan's running mate will
be "a man named Williams.” The re-1
publican vice president nominee will
be some man in Kansas whose name
the stars refuse to give down. The
campaign issues will be the tariff and
the rate bill, "which has;been found to
be inadequate.” Republican speakers
will insist that continued prosperity
depends on Roosevelt's re-election.
And this is the conclusion: “When
the votes are all counted, I can see
that Bryan won by a great majority,
carrying with him a democratic ma
jority or the representatives to con
gress.”
Reports from trade centers show
that the chief drag on business is the
difficulty of securing enough men for
the work in hand. Do the people re
member 18% and how it was then?
It don’t take much to make Bryan
“see things.” Since election he “sees”
that the United States is preparing
to go democratic in 1%8. Do you re
member his prophecies not so* many
years since?
Contractors of immense buildings
seem these days to lie in league with
the old man of the scythe. The
crumbling of the walls of the great
hotel being builded at Long Beach,
in Southern California a few days ago
is a point in instance.
It was a pretty Loup City girl with
rich, pouting lips, who said to her
escort the other evening, “My motto
is to do unto all men as you would
have them do to you,” and the poor
dazed fellow didn’t catch on.
By the election returns from New
York it will be seen that the state
went democratic on all state offices,
save that of governor, and possibly
lieutentantrgovemor—the returns on
the latter being undecided.
While here in attendance on the
dedicatory services of the M. E.
church last Sunday, Gov. Mickey ex
pressed himself as deeply gratified
over the election and splendid vote
given Geo. H. Sheldon for governor
and predicts from him one of the best
administrations of Nebraska's chief
executive office ever given the people
of the state. The governor expressed
himself as well pleased that his own
term expires so soon, and will gladly
turn over the executive office to the
incoming governor. Of Governor
Mickey, the Northwestern can gladly
say he has been one of the best busi
ness executives this state has ever
had, and if he has made some mis
takes, and who does not, those mis
were of the head and not. the heart,
and he steps down and out with the
best of good will of the people of the
state at large, and even his enemies
will have to acknowledge that he has
been honest and true to his con
victions in everything lie has done.
All honor to such a man.
Good Season for Iceberg*.
There is something wrong up
nound the north pole. Apparently
I’s warmer up there this season than
'or a long time, for never in the mem
fry of sea captains has the North At
lantic been spired with so many ice
bergs. They have been chipping ofl
'rom the great polar ice fields like
'rosting from a cake and have be
come such a menace to navigation
that a half dozen steamship lines have
ssued orders to the commanders of
heir ships to change their courses to
t mora southerly one. This means
.hat most of the liner3 will hereafter
tban-lcn the short route followed dur

Found Historic Stone.
A laborer in New Jersey in excavat
ing for a monument in a cemetery dug
up a meteor fragment weighing 25
pounds. It seemed to be composed
of fused minerals, glass, stone and
steel. It also contained a mixture
of various colored stones intermingled
through the otherwise gray mass.
To Be Exact.
“Of course," said Mrs. Goodart .
“when you share a cake with your lit- \
tie brother you always give him the
largest half.”
“Most assuredly not,” replied little ;

two bawves to a cake there can be j
no ‘largest.’ ”—Philadelphia Press.
Encourage Fancy Skating.
The governor general of Canada, to
show his interest in and encourage
figure skating, has offered a handsome
trophy, to be competed for next sea
son. The commission for the trophy
has been given to a Canadian sculptor,
Philippe Hebert, who has lately re
turned from Paris.
The Retort Courteous.
A well-known judge tells a stor;
about the cross-e: animation of a bad
ten:; ered woman in his court. £ .

band obviously the weak r vessel, er.:
sheepishly listening. The opposing
counsel pressed a certain question
rather urgently, and she said, angrily.
“You needn’t think to catch me. You
tried that once before.” The lawyer
said: “Madam, I have not the slight
est desire to catch you'; and your hus
band looks as if he were sorry he
did.’*
Poor African Land.
Southwest Africa, which has. been
he scene of a disastrous and dilatory
war for nearly three years, is the only
German colony favorable for Europsan
settlement, and this land is so poorly
supplied with water that an area of
from 5,000 to 10,000 acres ic necessary

Canadian Governor’s Prize.
The governor general of Canada, to
show his interest in and encourage
figure skating, has offered a handsc ie
trophy to be competed for next season.
The commission for the trophy has
been given to a Canadian sculptor,
Philippe Herbert, who has lately re
turned from Paris.
Who Wrote Mother Goose?
Many people are under the impres
sion that “Mother Goose's” stories and
nursery rhymes were written by some
old housewife. This is a mistake. The
real author was a scholar of learning
and renown, Charles Perrault, one of
the first members of the French acad
emy. He died in 1703, and though it
Is over two hundred years ago. his
tales still lire. May the fairies ever

WHY DO YOU
HIDE YOUR LIGHT UNDER A BUSHEL!
The manufacturers of the Litchfield Spreader had this question put to
them by a prominent machine man, he explaining at the time that if he
was selling a Spreader with the many advantages found in this no-choke
endless conveyer and which he could put out under a five year guarantee, as
we are doing with the Litchfield Spreader, that he would not “hide his light
under a bushel,” but would let the people know what he had.
This put the company and ourselves to thinking, and as our readers
know, we liave been trying to place the actual facts and figures before our
customers, so they could use their own judgment.
The reason why you do not hear more of the no-choke, endless conveyer is
because no machine uses it except the Litchfield. No other spreader can
utilize this broadiy patented, mechanical device, and for this reason com
plimentary remark’s from competition are not very freely given. This end
less conveyer with the no-choking, swinging sections was developed because
of a clearly apparent demand for the same, and the wonderful momentum
given to the sales of the Litchfield Spreader, by reason of this one particular
feature, is the best evidence the manufacturers can offer of its rapidly in
creasing popularity.
It is a winner, because all complicated machinery for returning it to its
original starting point is unnecessary. It is a simple, plain, every day affair,
and does the business without the heed of an expert mechanic to keep it in
working order. There is no stopping except when you get through with it,
and then it rests until another load is to be handled. The life is much
longer than the other kind. It runs much more smoothly and gives much
more smoothly and gives much better general results and satisfaction. It
is just the simple, plain every day conveyer, which all Spreaders should have
but which prsor to the invention of the no-choke device was not practical in
cold weather or under various other unfavorable conditions.
The only favor we ask is an opportunity to show our customers what
this modern Spreader will do,—the only Spreader made and sold under a
guarantee for five years.
To be continued next week.
V. M. BEED.
