J. W. BURLEIGH. Ed. and Pub.
The house passed the child labor
bill Tuesday, but as the present leg
islature is contracting the habit of
doing and then undoing things, there
is no cinch on their not gigging back
on this.
The senate last week killed the
anti-lobby bill. Evidently the senate
has not the effeminacy ascribed to the
house and thinks its members strong
enough to escape the over-persuasive
arguments of lobbyism.
Kro. Brown was home from his
legislative duties over last Sunday,
returning to Lincoln Monday morn
ing. He is having the experience of
his years, but we'll wager money,
marbles or chalk that he is not in
fatuated with legislative life.
Missouri is spelling reform w ith a
mighty big “G," and is “showing"
the rest of the states, by passing a
law fining any one for taking “tips."
Now. how do the Missouri lawmakers
expect the conductors and porters on
sleeping cars and waiters at hotels to
live?
We’ll have to take it back. Last
week we stated the joint railroad
committee of both houses had decided
against a 2-eent per mile passenger
rate, but later reports seem to have
it that the jointers have decided on a
2-eent fare, which will probably be
enacted into law.
All the members of the state lumber
dealers’ association are subpoenaed
to appear before the court in Lincoln,
Feb. 21st as witnesses in the case of
the state against the associotion. A.
B. Outhouse, of the Keystone com
pany of Loup City, is one of the lucky
ones for a free ride at the state's
expense.
The house did one good thing last
week in refusing to spend several
hundreds of dollars in having a print
ed report of the previous days’ doings .
laid on members desks each morning.
It would have been a good thing for j
the printers, but a useless outlay of
money to the state. The senate, how
ever did not see out of the same
goggles and decided to get rid of some 1
of the state's money in the way
spoken of.
The legislature has evidently heard
of Mayor Jim Dahlman’s famous defy
of law in his issue of an order to his
chief of police in Omaha to allow the
saloons of that city to run wide open i
on Sundays, as a bill has been intro
duced to remove any officer who fails
to see that laws are enforced. The
trouble with Cowboy Jim svas that
after his election to the mayorality
of the state of Omaha lie imagined
himself bigger than the whole official
push of Nebraska.
The fellows in the legislature who
want to gain name and fame by in
troducing measures along anti-rail
road lines are hostile in their feelings
against a joint committee oi both
houses on questions pertaining to
above. But fortunately this feeling:
is confined mostly to the fusion cle-j
merit, who can not bear to see the re- j
publican party promulgate the neces
sary rate laws, of which they would
have the people believe they are the
prophets, sages and sears. 1’oor dying
political powers.
Among the successful contestants
in the cow judging contest at the Ne
braska Dairymen’s Association at
Lincoln last week, two Sherman coun
ty men were among those who re
ceived a percentage of the awards.
The contest was the placing of three
Jerseys, two Holsteins, one Shorthorn
and one grade Red-Polled in the rel
ative order in which they should
stand as producers of butter. A cow
correctly placed counted seven points
and the highest possible score was
forty-nine. A. J. Johnson of Loup
City scored 43 points and J. L. Pray
of Logan township scoretf 45 points.
The Woman’s Club of this city last
week sent the following memorial to
Representative Brown and Senator
Thomson, accompanied by a largely
signed petition, favoring House Roll
No. f», the child labor bill, and Senate
File No. 50. favoring compulsory
education. Here it is: “Believing
that the Child Labor Law affords in
sufficient protection for children, and
that Nebraska should adopt a mers
ure similar to those enforced in
Illinois and other states, which have
recently considered this question, we
the undersigned, hereby endorse
House Roll, No. 9yand also believing
that one of the most effective means
of preventing child labor is a strong
compulsory education law, we hereby
endorse Senate File No. 50, and
earnestly request your support of these
two measures.”
I———WWM—
Improve the Cemetery.
Some time ago, a number of our
citizens met together for the purpose
of bettering ttie at present shameful
condition of our cemetery grounds.
C. J. Tracy was elected ''chairman and
11. II. Mathew secretary of the meet
ing.
A committee of three, consisting of
the chairman, secretary and Bird
Draper, was elected to audit the ac
counts of the association and to as
certain its real financial condition.
The report of the committee, whic
thoroughly overhauled the books and
accounts of the association, shows
the original cost of the grounds, their
survey and organizing to be $907.57,
of which arnout $410 was covered by
the sale of lots, thus leaving in the
year 188.7 an indebtedness of $497.57
which lias for twenty-two years liorne
interest at 10 per cent. The books,
which are open to the public inspec
tion, show that the sale of lots has
scarcely more than paid the interest,
there lieing $53.34 now on baud, which
applied on the debt reduces it to
$443.(50. Tlie conynittee could find no
raissapropriation, nor that the pres
ent management had accepted any
thing lor salaries or services.
Some of our public spirited citizens
have started a move to pay otf this in
debtedness by public subscription and
ttie sale of lots at the regular price of
$15.00 each. Among others who have
offered to subscribe is A. P. Colley,
who pledged $50. Many have offered
to buy lots, as an investment, if
nothing else.
-vs soon as me inaeoieaness is re
moved the cemetery may be taken
under village control, and all future
receipts will then be applied to tlie
improvement of t ne grounds. At
present, horses, cattle, and hogs may
be seen running at large through tue
cemetery, destroying improvements
that hav been placed there, a con
dition of affairs disgraceful to the
fair name of the community.
It will not he difficult, to, before i
the next Decoration Day, remove !
the indebtedness, place a substantial1
fence around the grounds, and make
our cemetery an object of lasting
beauty. Let us do so. ***

Dispatches in tne daily papers an
nounce the suspension of fclie grocery
department of the Sears Roebuck mail
order concern ‘‘because its mainten
ance lias been made impractictable by
the national pure food laws just pass
ed.” What a confession it is. If you
had Ur interpret the news item would
you conclude it is true that, compelled
by law to sell pure food, the mail or
der house is driven out of business?
Can it be that in the past and in the
absence of a law forbidding under
heavy penalties the sale of impure or
adulterated food the mail order houses
have made a practice of selling impure
food? is that the reason they have
been able to undersell focal competi
tion? That is the case with every
article sold by tiie average mail order
house. Grocery adulteration is for
bidden and so the grocery business of
the mail order houses is abandoned.
We>re laws to be enacted making the
sale of bum clothing unlawful, tl e
clothing department would go out ol
business. Were it a crime to sell fur
nieure cheaply constructed out ot
poor material their furniture depart
ments would go out of business. Trade

COFFEE PERCOLATOR
Makes the BEST coffee because
there is no boiling to bring out the bitter taste. No
escaping steam to dissipate the aroma.
The "Universal" is the QUICKER way, because the auto
matic valve—a feature no other percolator possesses—forces the water through
the coffee while it is gradually increasing in temperature.
The "Universal" is extracting the nutritious properties of the coffee bean
with lukewarm water while other machines are getting ready to start with
boiling water.
Simple in construction—easy to clean. By raising the glass dome all the working parts
arc removed from the machine at one operation. No overflow, the boiling process is
eliminated, and require* no watching after placing on the stove. „ /
\ Made of pure aluminum and "Elite" enamel ware—different styles and sizes, $2.50 up. /1
