Eil. am! Pub. Fighting Bob Evans gives it out as his horoscope that Russia and Japan will have another set-to in the near future. Now, Hobson: you're next. The Kansas state senate has adopt ed a resolution, without division, de claring in favor of the election of U. S. senators by a direct vote of the people. The women of Missouri are demand ing a state-wide prohibition constitu tional amendment at the hands of their law-makers. Probably what they demantj and what they get will be at some variance. Last week finished up the first half of the present legislative session and yet only two laws had received the governor's signature. AndBro. Brown takes exception to the Northwestern calling it a possible “Do-Nothing" affair. The democratic Aurora Sun says of the democratic legislature: “Well, the temperance bills have so far fared badly in the legislature,” etc. Well, hasn't the democratic party always been the party of “personal^) rights" and isn't that the slogan of the saloon element? What can you expect? We understand that E. A. Brown, County Assessor Beehthold and Coun ty Clerk Beushausen have still more deeply fallen under the ban of the dinky’sdispleasure.by reason of Louie Beehthold having appointed Bro. Brown as deputy assessor for this township this year. This is simply awful. Missouri legislators have passed a law to make sure , they may not lie kidnaped by those later-dav brigands, commonly known as lobbyists. They have passed a law that all lobbyists shall wear uniform caps and badges so that they may be known at sight. It takes the show-me state to give points to our wise men at Lincoln. Evidently Bryan can not dictate to liis brothers of tfie Nebraska legis lature and be sure to make his word effective. He objected to the accept ance of the Carnegie fund for pension ing university teachers, but when his back was turned the senate decided it should be a go by a vote of 25 to 8. The “tainted money" idea did not seem to prevail. It is said that "a man who squeezes a dollar never squeezes his wife.” In looking over our subscription list we are led to believe there are some awfully fine women in this commun ity who are not getting the pressure they deserve. There are some who don't live in this community, too. Of course, editors don't publish every thing they know.—Ex. We understand an effort will be made through Representative Brown to have the legislature take favorable action toward recompensing W. T. Gibson for his pecuniary loss in the bridge building cases. It is right that this should have the favorable consideration of our law makers and Mr. Gibson receive his money. The matter was taken under consideration while Mr. Brown was home Saturday. One among the first things done by Will Maupin, who was made commis sioner of labor under the democratic a iministration, was to ask the legis lature to increase his salary from $1500 to $2000 per year. When a hungry democrat gets access to the official crib, his hunger makes him want to get in with both hands and feet. However, the legislature very wisely concluded Willie could get along very well on the same salary his predecessor was content with. Bro. Parsons of the Burwell Tri bune a few weeks since inadvertantly admitted his belief that the ‘Daily Drift” of “Bix” in the State Journal was a wee bit tiresome at times, and rather inclined to the belief that the Journal would manage to survive and continue publications should Dr. Bix by be transplanted from this mortal to a future immortality. And then straightway arose the great, moral, truthful and sagacious temperance apostle and democratic mouthpiece of Nebraska, in the form of the only Judgef?) Howard, at one time a common paste-eater on the Iowa State Register, but later owner in fee simplef?) of the Bourbon element of the Grasshopper state, and in his awful majesty frowned down upon the young Parson for daring to utter any thought without first consulting His Onlyness, and with one swoop of his mighty pen wiped the Burwell man from the face of the terrestrial for daring to intimate such an awful thing of the man who of all others had told of the possibility of Sir Edgar’s omnipotence and ability above all others to write brainy things And the Burwell Parson(s) having learned muchness under the skilled manipulations of the judgef?) and very likely being imbued with the wonderful personality of the great Eddy, has bowed to the whip of the democratic master and taken it all back. The sun may now come out from under the black cloud of desola tion and all nature shine once more. The Idaho legislature passed a county local option bill on Monday of this week. Sixty-three lobbyists are registered aed plying their vocation before the timid legislators, not to mention the droves of those not registered and swooping down upon the “(un)terri fied” in direct violation of the won derful anti-lobby law. The news of the day is highly col ored with flash-light portrayals of the marital trouble of Bryan’s daugher, Ruth, and her artist husband Leavitt, and the proposed divorcing or these people. It only tends to prove the truth of the trite sawing, “There is a skeleton in every household.” A howl is emanating from the scared democratic legislators at Lin coln over the swarm of lobbyists in festing the city. And it is said Tom Allen. Bryan’s brother-in-law, and head of tne democratic state organi zation, is one of the busiest, is not registered, uniformed, labeled, brand ed, tattooed in plain sight, nor yet arrested or his presence expurged from the sacred portals of the law making powers. Avaunt, Tommy. In a certain town there are two brothers who are engaged in the re tail coal business. A noted evange list visited the town and converted the elder brother of the firm. For weeks after his conversion the broth er w ho had lately “got religion” en deavored to persuade the other to join the church. One day, when the elder was making another effort, he asked, “Why can’t you join the church Richard, like I did?” “It’s all right for you to be a member of the church,” replied Richard, “but if I join, who’s going to weigh the coal?” Sears, who is now judge of the district court, in which Omaha is a part, and who was formerly speaker of the Nebraska lower house some years since and gathered in $3 per day for the elevation, and which graft was afterward decided as unconstitu tional. but which was never paid back by said Sears, is now to have a chance to air his old grievance against ex Treasurer Steuffer by the present legislature. If Sears would only pay baek into the state treasury the graft he received as speaker of the house, it would look more seemly in him to go after Steutier. “Well, this storm is a little bit severe in some ways,” sa\s John Cres sler, as he swung his arms and stamped his feet to restore circula tion, “but it is mighty fine stuff for nex season’s crops. Moisture in February is what we must have to prove the character of the coming season. With plenty of moisture in FebJuary, the rainmaker will be out of a job Jin July and August, and there will be oodles of corn, wheat and other marketable stuff at the end of the chapter. Some of you fellows were inclined to jeer and scoff when I put you next to this Deposition three or four years ago. but you must admit that the sign is a true one, as has been amply demon strated. Nebraska can well afford to wade about in snow knee-deep for the next three weeks—it may be a bit unpleasant but it is the making of the country.” Whereupon John took a plunge for the next snow bank heoded for home and a steam heating plant.—Ravenna News. Good Company for 1909 You are careful wliat choice of friends the young people of your household make. You do not open wide the door to those whose speech and behavior betray ill-breeding and lax morals. Are you as careful to shut it against books and periodicals that present vulgar and demoralizing pic tures [of life and its purpose? Per haps.you are among those who have found that The Youth’s Companion occupies the same place in the family reading that the high-minded young man or woman holds among your as sociates. The Companion is good without being • ‘goody-goodv.” It is entertaining, it is informing. In its stories it depicts life truly, but it chooses those phases of life in which duty, honor, loyalty are the guiding motives. A full description of the current volume will be sent with samplecopies of the paper to any address on request. The new subscriber who at once sends $1.75 for a year’s subscription will re ceive free The Companion's new Calendar for 1909, “In Grandmother's Garden,” lithographed in thirteen colors. The Youth’s Companion, 144 Berkeley Street, Boston, Mass. Carden Seeds D. C. Grow, ,P. M., has received word from Hon. M. P. Kinkaid that he will send a package of garden seed to anyone sending their name to him at Washington, D. C. In remitting subscription to the Northwestern, Elmer Walker writes as follows of his Hartford, Kas.. home: “I will try and drop you a line to let you know that we are still among the living and enjoying good health’' and hope you and all the rest of my friends around Loup City and Litch field are enjoying the same. We like this country fine and have had no winter to speak of. It registered 12 below one day and about two inches of snow fell, but it can be cold here one day and like summer the next day. I am farming and haye done very well since coming here. We like to know what everybody is doing up there and have failed to get the paper but twice in the year and 10 months that we have been here, which we I think is doing well.” Ashton News.

They were here attending the wedding of their brother, Julius. Cards are out announcing the wed ing of Walter Maciejewski to Miss Eleanor Haremza on Feb. 17th. Married, Thursday, Feb. 11, at 10 a. m. in St. Francis church in this city, Mr. Stanley Shuda to Miss Lena Grabowski. Frank Zwink of Loup City has been visiting the Bapp family the past few days. Miss Josephine Kloss of Farwell was here visiting with tier sister, Mrs. Piechota, a few days last week re turning to her home on Saturday. Misses Sylvia and Alta Blumer were home over Sunday, returning to their sehool at St. Paul Monday. Adolph Riselier has been busy the past week papering and painting the residence of E. L. Jamrog. Mrs. Theo. Ojendyk has been on the sick list the past week, but at this writing is somewhat improved.

Jamrog and Isaac Sandberg left for Omaha Tuesday morning to attend the Hardware Dealers Conven tion. Mrs. Fred Hanson visited friends at Schaupps, Monday night, returning the following day. Adolph Riselier was a Loup City visitor Monday night. Thos. Jamrog has had a gang of men busy the past few days cutting ice and getting his house filled for the coming summer. It necessitated a trip of the snow plow up this branch of the B. & M. last week before regular train service could be resumed. They encountered snow drifts from 12 to 14 feet deep between Farwell and St. Paul., Mr. and Mrs. Mat Jazynka and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ifydock, who were here attending the Jamrog-Dilla wedding, retnrned home to South Omaha Saturday.

Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Peters and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Jakubowski returned from their Oklahoma visit last week Wednesday. They report warm rains in that part of the country while we were experiencing one of the worst blizzards of the season. Another blizzArd Sunday, of which we are getting more than our share for this winter. It seems as though the ground hog knew his business when he went back to his winter quarters for another six weeks. Several of the young men in and around Ashton have been mourning the removal of one of the fair damsels from our town. They used to have all kinds of excuses for going to the depot hut now it’s all off. Is it pos sible that she lias gone not even to be heard from? Those who own or harbor dogs should not fail to read what is known as the ‘‘Dog ordinance” passed by our village trustees. This requires all owners or harborers sof dogs to place on the dog's neck a collar having a name plate thereon bearing the owners name. By this ordinance which takes effect on March 4, 1SHW, the marshal will have authority to kill all dogs found running at large without a collar. Those who have been ip the habit of hanging around the saloons until midnight have had the damper put on. The village board at their last session passed an ordinance requiring the saloons of this village to close at 9 p. m. until April 1st, after which date they may keep open till 10 p. m. In order that the law may be enforced they will impose a tine of $25 for the first offense and in case of a second offense their license will be cancelled. The O. C. V. band gave their dance and concert as previously advertised Sunday evening. The turn-out was not as large as it should have been on account of the weather, but the boys did fairly well, having sold about 65 tickets for the concert alone. The members of this organization have been doing their best to make the band one of the best in this part of the state and are to be complimented on the success which seems to be theirs They expect to give another concert in the near future. Look out for the date. Wiggle Creek Notes. Henry Kuhl butchered Monday for summer use. John Olson was trading in Loup City Monday.

Preliminary symptoms of Eye troubles that cause crossed eyes are: Pain in back of eyes; pain in temples, sometimes running over ears: print jumps after reading for a time.
