J., yester day (Wednesday) morning at 8:40. While he had been in failing health for some time from stomach troubles, his death was unexpeted. A late report from Cleveland is to the effect that Jas. S. Sherman, re publican candidate for vice president, is dangerously ill at a hospital in that city, and may have to undergo an operation for gall stones. On the first page will be found a report of the National Republican convention, together with the good looking faces of the next president and vice president of the United States. Further comment will not be made this week—not at all neces sary. Secretary Mellor says that more horses were named for the State Fair Stake Races to begin August 31st, than ever wasentered at any previous race meet at Lincoln. This year the races will consist of fifteen harness and eight running races, with total purses amounting to more than #12,000. The closing of the class races is on August 10th. There will be an eclipse of the sun on June 28, visible in nearly all parts of the United States. In this part of the country it will begin at about 7:45 a. m. and will last for nearly three hours. About three-fourths of the sun's surface will be hidden by the eclipse leaving only about as much of the sun visible as may be seen of the moon in its tirst quarter. It is re ported that in a strip of country ninety miles long and forty-five miles 'wide in the vicinity of Tampa, Fla., the eclipse will be as near total as is possible for the moon to hide the sun for a short period, something like three minutes. Fifty years ago there was some ex cuse for bad roads, for our country was poor. Now it is such that there is no excuse. A good road is always to be desired and it is a source of comfort and convenience to every traveler. Good roads attract popula tion as well as good schools and churches. Good roads improve the value of property, so that it said that a farm lying five miles from .market connected by a bad road is of less value than an equally good farm con certed by a good road. A larger load can be drawn by one horse on a good A>ad than by two over a bad one. Good roads encourage the greater ex change of produce and commodities between one section and another. Good roads are of great value to rail roads as feeders.—Ex. Air ship navigation on a large scale has received a check by the accident to a monster machine of this kind out on the Pacific coast recently. It was designed to run between San Fran cisco and New York and was to be one of a line of vessels which were to make daily trips. This ship was only a model, the regular ships of the line were to be twelve hundred feet long— nearly a quarter of a mile-to be equipped witli parlors, sitting rooms, bed rooms and special airship furni ture including seventeen-ounce up holstered chairs, air mattresses and silk bed covers. It was expected that one of this magnitude would be able to carry oOG passengers and forty tons of mail at a speed of 150 miles an hour shooting over the continent in a day. The fate of the model has delayed indefinitely the plan to in augurate airship service for the pur pose of competing with great rail road systems and furnishing the pub lic with a very novel method of trans portation. ' The News hears the name of Mr. C. A. Clark of Ravenna mentioned in connection with the republican nomi nation for state senator, this fall. Prof. Thomson declares that he is out of it—that under no considera tions would he accept a renoini nation and this determination on his part has led the leaders of the republican party to cast about for a man who is available, and Mr. Clark seems to be very favorably considered and unusual strength is expected to develop in favor of his candidacy from the fact that he is well known throughout both counties of the district—Buffalo and Sherman, and has about equal financial interests in both counties. Mr. Clark is a man who is universally admired, and is known as a man of the highest integrity. He lias always taken advanced grounds politically, and is in thorough harmony with the best element of bis party, and his abilities are such that he would give good account of himself as a senator, or in any other public office within the gift of the people.—Ravenna News. The Country Candidate. The expecCed lias happened, and a large number of the republicans of Iowa are demanding the repeal of the direct primary law. A dispatch from Council Bluffs says the republicans of Pottawattamie county will urge either the repeal of the entire law or such changes as shall remodel it al together on the delegate plan. It is asserted, not only in Potta wattamie county but in other coun ties of Iow a, that the recent primaries proved a handicap to the country candidates and that they gave the candidates from the cities a great ad vantage. It is alleged, also, that a man in first place in the list of candi dates has an advantage, and this is urged against the Iowa law. Iowa has made a thorough test of the primary law and knows what it will do. Nebraska has not yet had a fair chance at the workings of the new statute, but it will be surprising if the same complaints do not follow the application of the law in this state that are now heard in Iowa. It is easier for the voters in the cities to get to the polls than for the country voters to get there. Bad roads, busy harvest times or any one of sev eral other things are liable to work against the farmer on primary day, and if it happens that conditions are not right then the town vote is sure to outnumber the country vote and the candidates from the “rural'’ dis tricts are left in the rear. Under the convention plan the coun try members of the party were sure to be well represented by delegates, and when the tickets were made up the country was given its share of the prizes because the city leaders, looking ahead to election day, did not dare do otherwise. Possibly Nebraska's experience will be like that of Iowa. The first general trial of the new law will tell.—Lin coln Daily Star. Having Fun With Brewers. The declarations of the brewers' convention in Milwaukee have given rise to a great deal of criticism and not a little fun has been poked at some of their utterances. When they declare that the temperate use of beer promotes happiness, the humorous critic responds that if beer contains only 5 per cent of alcohol, to become real happy the drinker wants to take more than might be denominated a temperate use. Again, when the brewers declare, “We earnestly desire such improvement in the drinking habits of the people as will further advance temperance,” the humorous critic suggests that the temperance people and the brewers are at last one if that is true. The brewers are certainly breaking into literature nowadays and some of their number propose that they go still deeper into it and inaugurate a regular campaign of education. But by far the wisest thing proposed among them is to clean up morally the drinking places and to keep out of politics. Much of the intense feeling just now pre valent against the saloon is founded j on the feeling that drinking places' are generally the headquarters of a low and criminal class of people and that the saloonkeeper too often is a J low order of politician.—Lincoln Star, j A New Departure. After considerable agitation upon the part of those interested in the settlement of Government lands in the west, the Government has now designated an engineer to show pros pective settlers lands within the Shoshone Project in Wyoming. This is an innovation that will be apprec iated by prospective liomeseekers for the reason that in the past, persons seeking Government lands have as a rule had to depend upon strangers to show them the land and point out the corners, but this is all cliangnd now. Settlers now going to Powell, Wyoming, where the Government Engineers have their headquarters for the Shoshone Project, have one of the engineers at their service, who goes with them personally and points out the corners and gives them any information desired. These lands are all platted into farm units and the engineer who did the surveying is the one designated to show the lands. This is certainly a step in the right direction. The Tochnfque of Home Making “Cook, sweep, dust and sew, these four words will never make a happy home,” writes the editor in Woman’s Home'Companion for July. “They do not make sympathy, and love, and ambition, and faith; but they go a long way toward making room for these things. The average bride has a trunkful of ideals, and maybe two trunkfuls of clothes. Her cookbook —if she has one and the leaves are cut at all—opens easily to “fudge.” Hut unless she has mastered enough pages of this book to get three meals a day. without exhausting her own body and soul, and her husband’s, too, she will have little time for clothes and none at all for ideals. She finds herself involved in the mastery of the merest technical details. In spite of her best en deavors, her husband loses his en thusiasm for badly cooked food poorly served. Perhaps she tells him that lie couldn’t do it so well himself, and then he tells her about what he can do—perhaps it’s soldering a joint or adding up a column of figures or drawing a straight line between two given points—but anyhow lie can do it, because it is his business and he has perfected himself in it. and if she— And then Cook and Sweep and Dust and Sew fling wide the doors of that house, and Sympathy and Love and Ambition and Faith make their escape.” % Y. M. A. A. For a pleasant hour come to the reading room and look over our supply of magazines and books. Among the i magazines we have: Scrap Book (two sections), Argosy, Everybodys, Mc Clures, Am.

Ladies and girls are invited to use the gymnasium between the hours of nine and six on Thursdays of each week. During that time no one else will be admitted whether members or not. All are requested to wear rubber-soled shoes in the gymnasium, as exercising without them is danger ous. Boys from twelve years upward can join the Asociation. Later in the year a basket ball team will be or ganized among the young members and also the older ones. You can not atford to miss the chance for good exercise when the membership fee is so small. Members of the Association are allpwed the privilege of taking out-of town people into the gymnasium. If you have a friend here visiting let him enjoy himself in this way, when you are too busy to entertain. Mr. Jones has painted two glass signs for the Association which will be used outside in a box furnished with a gas light. In appreciation of the gift we announce that this work is a contribution of Mr. Jones’. Any order left with him will receive the best of attention and we know from experience that he can do the work. It is the intention of the Assoc iation to open the gvmnasium to the public on holidays, charging a small admission fee. This will add to the attraction for the outsiders and give everyone a chance to use the room at some time. Additional Locals. JohnCzaplewski returned from Den ver Tuesday.

The storm of Monday night was one of the heaviest of the season, the gauge at llayhurst's measuring an inch and a quarter rainfall. The hail accompanying cut the growing corn in bad shape, and at Arcadia there was about a mile or more of wheat and other crops cut to pieces. The downpour there was reported the proportions Of a cloudburst, with three inches of rain. Quite a few business changes and matters along business lines are made this week. Elsewhere we spoke of Frank Robbins selling his barber shop to Mr. Dan DeWitt. Now comes the word that Mr. DeWitt has formed a partnership with Frank Foster and they will occupy the Foster shop. Stewart and Ashley Conger have formed a partnership and w ill start a chop house in the Robbins building and hope to get started sometime the first of July. Chris Johansen will be the new ice man and handle the congealed aqua instead of Conger. Foster will have some changes made in his barber shop, enlarging the accomodations, and hopes to have everything in shape by the first of the week. Items Worthy of Note. A sensible girl says: “Why do young men do so much loafing? Go to work. Push ahead! I am but a young girl, but I clothe myself and have money in the bank. 1 lay up more money in a year than any young man within three miles of my home. When they get a dollar they go to a dance and go home a dollar out. I advise all girls to cut clear of all loaf ing boys. Stand by the boy who works, and never put your arm through the handle of a jug.” “Some of these newspapers are frights,” angrily exclaimed &n old comrade of ours, “why, they are too cowardly to print the truth when it is furnished them. Just the other day 1 worked up a column roast on a fellow who deserved it, and the papers wouldn’t publish it.” “Did you sign your name to it?” we asked. “Sign my name to it? Why should I sign my name to it and lhave everybody jumping on to me about it?— Thoughtful Thinks in the Kearney Democrat. From stastistics of booze consump tion in this country the Philadelphia Ledger estimates the annual drink bill of the nation at 1*1,466,584,J27. It is nearly double the sum paid for education. It is a third more than the entire national debt: and those who pay this monstrous contribution to Bacchus receive nothing but physical and mental mischief for the investment. The legalized traffic in alcoholic poison is upheld on the specious and clearly indefensible plea of personal liberty, but the plea will never hold good in the court of popular opinion when the people are once fully aroused to the real evil that threatens the life of free govern ment.—Bixby in State Journal. FEW MINUTES HE HAD 8PBNT. Statistician’s Passion for Figures Get Him Into Trouble. He is one of those persons with a mad passion for figuring out "How much,” “How long,” etc., and was wait ing for his wife, who was adjusting her hat before the mirror. They were going to the theater, and had ten minutes to catch their train. Present ly a sparkle came into his eye, and he fished a pencil and paper from his pocket. That kind of man always has a pencil and paper, even in his even ing clothes. “Do you know," he said presently, looking up at his wife, who had fin ished adjusting her hat, “that I figure, basing my figures on observation, that a girl from six to ten spends an aver age of seven minutes a day before her mirror; from 10 to 15, a quarter of an hour; from 15 to 20, 22 minutes. A woman of 70 will have spent 5,862 hours, or eight solid months, counting day and night. Now, a woman of your age has spent—” “Never mind what I've spent,” she said coldly, removing her hat. "You have spent 15 minutes figuring it out, and we have missed that train.”—Sun day Magazine. HEROISM OF TRAINED NURSES. Fight Grimmest of Battles with N* Trumpet Sound to Encourage.

She la often entirely alone; her struggle must be quiet; and her antagonist is grim and terrible and ever watchful, be cause it is death itself. Suppose it la you yourself who are suddenly smitten In the midst of your life and work, says Anne O'Hagan in the Delineator. With the coining of the trained nursa you feel infinite relief from thanks giving. You are no longer obliged to struggle alone, to watch the door alone lest that other one enter. Tha nurse, calmest of warriors, least grim of sentinels, sits beside your bed and will keep the vigil for you. You trans fer the battle to her. For yourself, you will lie still and think—not of the combat before you, not of the turmoil behind you—that whirling, dusty con flict of the world which was so impor tant a little while ago—but of the great, important things—earth and its greenness, the wide, white, country skies on moonlight nights, the flash of blue birds’ wings in the September sunshine, all the daily miracles you had forgotten to watch when you were hurrying to those manifold appoint ments of yours. Now you are in the region where only "the mightier move ment sounds and passes, only winds and rivers, only life and death.” SLIM PASSENGER A SKEPTIC. Story of Wonderful Surgical Operation Received with Doubt. It happened on a Pullman car be tween New York and Chicago. Dinner having been finished, the gentlemen assembled in the smoking-room to en joy their cigars. "During the time I was in the war," said the quiet man, “I saw a wonderful thing in the line of surgical operations. A friend of mine was shot through the right breast, the bullet passing clear through him. The presence of mind of his companion undoubtedly saved his life. He wrapped his handkerchief around the ramrod of his gun, and, pushing it through the path made by the bullet, cleared the wound of all piosonous lead. I know it is hard to believe, but, gen tlemen, the man still lives to tell the tale.” "Which man?” inquired the slim passenger on the other seat, quietly. “The wounded one, of course,”'-exclaimed the old soldier, scornfully. “Oh, I beg your pardon; I thought it might be the other.” $150 For Best Article.
