Mercer and Henry counties in
Illinois were touched by a tornado
last Sunday, doing slight damage.
One death resulted.
Rear Admiral Robly D. Evans,
‘•Fighting Bob.” if you please, was
born in 1844, hence at the present
time is 64 years of age.
By late telegraphic dispatches, we
see congress has passed a bill in re
gard to army matters, one part of
which is the increase in pay for en
enlisted men of 35 per cent.
A tornado swe pt through a portion
of Adams county last Sunday, with
out striking a house, or killing or in
juring anybody. If one should visit
Sherman county, we vote for just
such an accommodating one.
A section of country seventy-five
miles long was devastated by a
tornado in Oklahoma Sunday last.
Seven towns were torn to pieces, a
number of people killed, many injured
and untold property loss resulted. As
a large part of the territory is with
out telegraphic communication, re
ports are meager.
A postal card received by the North
western on Monday from W. R.
Mellor, dated at San Francisco Satur
day preceding, and giving a good
picture of the battleship ‘’Nebraska”
shows that friend Mellor and Mrs.
Mellor are having the time of their
life. He says, ‘‘The sight of 21 battle
ships and 6 torpedo boats, all in line,
was certainly an imposing scene.”
Mr. and Mrs. Mellor were with the
governor’s party aboard the “Nebras
ka” at the presentation of the silver
service, of which the dispatches speak
as a most interesting ceremony.
Traffic in Liquor is Not Legal—At
torney General H. W. Byers submit
ted a sensational decision in regard
to saloon business in Iowa the first
of this week in which he says the
penalties are suspended but the busi
ness was never made lawful, not even
by the mulct law. Thus another
victory has been secured by the tem
perance people of Iowa. A corpora
tion at Sioux City asked the execu
tive council of Iowa for authority to
issue stock for the purpose of carry
ing on a liquor business at that place.
The law referred to by the Attorney
General in his decision says that the
corporation legalized must carry on
“a lawful business” and he regards
the saloons and breweries as outlaws
in Iowa. No person but a registered
pharmacist is recognized by law as
qualified to sell intoxicating liquor in
Iowa—Tingley (la.) Vindicator.
There seems to be no doubt exist
ing in the minds of those informed
upon political matters as to who will
be the standard bearers of the two
old parties in the coming campaign.
Taft has the mortal cincli on the re
publican nomination for the presi
dency, while Bryan has the whole
thing coming his way for the demo
cratic nomination for the same place.
In fact Bryan has a better show for
the democratic nomination, if any
thing, than Taft lias on the repub
lican nomination. On the democratic
side, there is only one outspoken can
didate besides Bryan, and that is
Johnson of Minnesota, and he has
only his own state back of him, so far
as known, while on the republican
side, Taft has several strong men
competing with him, who have their
own states and some following out
side. But everything considered, Taft
and Bryan have the whole thing com
ing their way, and already have the
nominations in their vest pockets.
All is over save the ratification by
the conventions.

Strive For Better Things
Whatever view we take of life,
whatever the circumstances with
which fate has surrounded us, what
ever our creed or nationality, each of
us within himself believe that he was
born for better things, that more of
the comforts of life should be his
than he is now enjoying. This feel
ing of unsatisfaction with one’s lot in
life is a righteous one, for it is
ambition, that wonderful incentive
for action whicli is responsible for the
remarkable progress the world has
made and is making in every field of
research and endeavor. Each of us
desire success and advancement in
iiis undertakings and while our views
of what constitutes success may vary,
we ail court the attainment of our
goal with the same zeal, sacrifice and
fortitude. The jewelry business, as a
business, can hardly be said to be
dealing in necessities, and to the ex
tent we feel that our business is quite
largely one of adornmentation, and
therefore it is our duty to study this
business from this standpoint. It is
our aim to place before the public
the highest grade of fine Watch**,
fine Diamonds, rich Jawolry, elegant
designs in Cut Class, the most
elaborate styles in sterling silver that
is manufactured today, and while we
do all tlds it is also onr aim to price
these goods to compete with anyone
on the same quality and with honest
business methods, trying to please
you and with the full assurance that
it is no trouble to show you. We
solicit your patronage.
J. F. Jeffokdb.
In Denver this week we met at
friend of twenty-one years ago. He*
was then about thirty years of age,
in comfortable circumstances and
doing a business that gave promise of
a comfortabling surplus for old age.
In the old days he thought it quite
the proper tiling to go out once in a
while and have what lie called a
“good time.” He was a moderate
drinker and boasted of his ability to
drink or let it alone. He doesn’t
make that boast now. His once happy
home is entirely broken up. Ten
years ago his wife left him because of
his brutal debauchery and took the
children with her. He only knows
that they went to the Pacific coast.
He has no home, no means, no friends
worth calling such, no occupation
that yields enough for a decent living
He is ragged, blear-eyed, dirty and
degraded; hungry part of the time
and thirsty all the time— a pitiful
specimen of what booze will do for a
man who is accomodating enough to
give it a chance. This man had every
reasonable inducement to lead a sober
and sensible life, but he preferred to
become a member of the rounders’
union, and is taking his last degree in
the mysteries of that order. After
that the fireworks.—Bixby in State
Journal.
Commencement Week.
The class of 1908 will give, as their
class play. “Sweet Lavender”. This
popular production was first produced
at Terry’s Theater In London, on
March 21,1888 with Mr. Edward Terry
playing the part of Dick Phenyl. It
had a continuous run of six hundred
and eighty-three nights, when Mr.
Terry went on a trip to India. When
he returned, nine mouths later it had
another run at the same theater of
fifty-four performances. Not only
has it been popular in England but
“Sweet Lavender” has been well re
ceived in America, India, Australia,
and South Africa. It has been trans
lated into German and Italian and
has been played in those languages.
The Seniors, with the other mem
bers of the High School, who are aid
ing them expect to give a performance
that will be well worth seeing. To
accomidate all who wish to attend,
the play will be given two evenings:
May 26 and 27. All seats will be
twenty-five cents. The money secur
ed from the sale of seats will be used
to pay the expenses of graduation.
Seats for either Tuesday or Wednes
day evening may be secured at Con
hiser's store by those who have in
vitations, on Friday, May 22, and by
the general public on the next day.
Commencement will be at the Pres
byterian church on May 28, Hon G.
W. Berge giving the address. Admis
sion will be by ticket but no admission
fee will be charged. Tickets may be
secured at the same time as tickets
are secured for the play.
