Under the new exemption law in

of property.
The supreme court of this state

come in in official station.
Among th$, announcements this
week will be found that of L. W. Cal
len of Washington township who de
sires the republican nomination for
county assessor. Mr. Callen is an old
resident of this county and well and
favorably known.
This weik will be found among the
candidates' cards that of C. F. Beush
ausen for re-election as county clerk,
with nomination at the hands of our
populist neighbors, and the <ard of
L. A. Williams for re-nomination and
re-election to the office of sheriff,
with nomination by the republican
primary. We will be fair enough to
say Mr. Beushausen has made a very
creditable county clerk and the main
fault we have to And with him is the
sad fact of his political affiliations.
As to Uncle Lou Williams, we wish
we had as sure a cinch on a handsome
fortune as he

The dangers from eating ice cream
are not confined alone to a young
man’s pocketbook. The other day
fourteen persons were poisoned in a
Kentucky town from ice cream.
All doubts of Bryan’s candidary for
the presidency may be laid at rest.
In a few days his boom will be
formally launched at a big dinner, it
is stated authentically. But that
hardly insures his election.
A call has been issued for a state
convention of prohibitionists to meet
in Lincoln next Wednesday, 31st, to
make arrangements for placing a
state ticket in the field under the
new primary law, and for the selection
of a state central committe, etc.
A merry war is now on between
the forces backing the candidacies of
Sedgwick and Reese for the supreme
judgship. It is generally conceded
the winner at the primaries wilj lie
the winner at the fall election, the
fusion opposition in the state not
being able to combime or encompass
defeat of any republican nominee,
hence each side is strainipg every
nerve to win out at the primaries.
Either one will honor the judicial
ermine.
A fearful steamship disaster oc
curred last Saturday at midnight on
the Pacific ocean between San Fran
cisco and Portland, when the Colum

was run into by the San Pedro, a
freighter, and sunk within two min
utes, at least 150 of those aboard
going down with the ill-fated steamer.
Of over 100 women on board the

Did You Ever Get Left?
Not long ago advertisements ap
peared of the John Quince v Company
and the Louis Vehon Company of
Chicago, offering great bargains in
in sewing machines. Among those
who read this literature was Miss
Emma Nording. She wanted a sew
ing mBclijne and she sent $15.58 to
the address of the advertisers. She
waited long and anxiously for the
sewing machine. She wrote, asking
if the money had been received, but
no answer came.
A short time ago she received a
postal card which told the story brie
ly but plainly. It read as follows:
Chicago, III., 8-9, 1900.
Dear Sir:
I have been appointed receiver of
the Louis Vehon Company and the
John Quincey Company by*the Judge
of the IT. S. D. C. The estate wiil be
closed up as lapidly as possible and
you will receive ah official notice in
due time. Respectfully,
No. 18.448 $15.58. Joseph Sieger.
It will be noticed that Miss Nord
ing’s claim is 18.448, and if each num
ber represents a claim of $15.58 for
money sent in, the bankrupt firm
must have at least $287,499.92 of the
people's money. It is a slick way of
gathering in the coin. Advertise
something valuable for a small price
and when the people have all bitten
and begin to get uneasy hide your
wealth and take the benefit of the
bankrupt law.
Such fakes fatten upon the fatal
propensity of people to go away from
home to get something for nothing
instead of patronizing the home busi
ness men who help make the town.—
