Nebraska committed another judicial murder last Friday—mur dered Barker by hanging, because lie murdered his brother and wife by shooting. Just a little difference in the kind, but both murders just the same. Our republican state convention meets in Omaha, March 12. Sherman county is entitled to five delegates. Shall we have a delegate convention to choose delegates? Shall we have primaries to express the choice of our republican voters as to presiden tial preference? These are questions up to the voters. What say you? The Republican County Central Committee of Sherman county is called to meet on Friday (tomorrow) afternoon at the office of Judge Wall in this city, to attend to the matter of calling a convention to select dele gates to the state convention, which meets at Omaha. March 12th. It is hoped all members will be in attend ance. The effort to boom La Follette stock in Nebraska carries with it a very strong suspicion, when you find Frank Harrison is the chief plugger for the Wisconsin man. Franlcis a nice fellow, cute politician, smart fellow, and all that, but what Frank needs is confidence of the people in his unselfishness in booming his boom. When Frank Harrteon does anything, f here’s a lot of us fellows who know him who wonder, “Why?” The St. Paul Phonograph-Press, j always a populist fighter under Bro. Manuel’s facile pen, last week took on added pungency to its virile pen, and when we looked for the reason found that an old-time democratic war-horse and friend of the North western editor, when we both edited oapers in Iowa of opposite faith, and •trapped in the old-fashioned political way, we refer to Lon H. Boydston. a veteran quill driver, had been the oower behind the newspaper throne hat week, while Bro. Manuel was i way making populist politics. Lon •s a good one, and lias alwavs been a ready tighter for his politicial faith, •tnd we hope for old friendship sake he may set his stakes somewhere in his section of the state on some good reliable newspaper of his antiquated belief. Farmers’ Institute. Tuesday, Jan. 14th, at 2:15 p. m. at Society Hall the Farmers’ Institute a as called to order by Pres. II. B. Musser. Mr. D. P. Ashburn gave an instructive lecture on "Arrangement and Construction of Farm Buildings." lie said our buildings should be con structed conveniently, so that the east expenditure of labor shall ac ■omplish great results. We should uake time to plant trees and beautify >ur homes. Mrs. Ashburn was met jy a houseful of interested women ind her address on “The Handy Kitchen’’ was will received. She Jiougnt a woman should have every thing at hand in the kitchen, good light, plenty of fresh air and water, ihe evening session was held at the Baptist church and was opened by a song and encore by Burt McKinnie, who sang in his usual style and the audience was highly appreciative. Mrs. Ashburn spoke on “Making the Farm Home Attractive.’’ She said ihe first essentials were, interest, willingness, intelligence, knowledge and skill. With these endowments any woman can make her home at tractive. The audience was favored witli a charming solo by Miss Beth Timmerman with violin obligato bv Max Jeffords, which was also encored. Mr. Ashburn then said in brief. “No word thrills us like the word home. It is the home influence that moulds the character of our boys and girls. The little things of our every Jay lives have an influence that never dies. Our boys and girls should never oe allowed to become dissatisfied with the farm home.’’ Wednesday, Jan. 15th, a business meeting was called at 2 p. m. and the Farmers’ Institute Association of Sherman county was reorganized as provided for by the last legislature, and the following officers were elected: President, H. B. Musser; V'ice Pres. A. J. Johnson: Sec., L. N. Smith: freas., E. E. Tracy. Executive Com mitte: E. H. Kittell, Ira Timson, H. J. Johansen. As the weather was unfavorable the stock judging contest was omitted and Mr. O. Hull of Alma gave a good hog talk, saying we are not careful enough about selecting >ur brood sows and are too careless about sleeping quarters. Prof. Hunt ook for his subject, “Rotation of Crops” and said that with proper handling and croping our land will improve as time goes on. Manure should be spread thinly and often, well mixed with the soil. The even ing session was opened with a trio, violin, cornet and piano, by L. N. Smith, Max and Nellie Jeffords, which was well rendered. Mr. Hull ad dressed the audience on “Advantages of the Farm.” Mr. Hull thinks there is no place like the farm home and the time for obtaining cheap homes will soon be forever past as the ten dency of land values is upward. Miss Beatrice Nightingale gave a well re ceived solo and encore. Prof. Hunt's closing address was “Economy in care of Farm Animals.” They must have good shelter, be fed a balanced ration and always be treated with kindness, if we expect them to be profitable. The Association hopes to find interest growing and pledges to do its utmost for the advancement of agriculture and stock raising. Thanking all who so kindly assisted in making the In stitute a success, we are yours for the advancement of agriculture. H. B. Mvsskb. Pres. L. N. Smith, Sec’y. Supervisors Proceedings.
