Mart A K. Hendrickson
The democrats and populists met
in this city last Saturday and effect
ed fusion. That is, a few represen
tatives of the two parties met in this
city and did the act. The democrats
met first in the public square and
selected Louis Rein as their choice
for treasurer and then took a recess
for the purpose of allowing the popu
lists to select all the other candi
dates, the democrats being willing to
give the right-of-way on all the
balance of the ticket, if they were
allowed to name the candidate for
treasurer. The pops then met in the
court house and endorsed the demo
cratic choice for treasurer and pro
ceeded to name Dan Carpenter for
sheriff, W. C. Dietrich for county
clerk, Dr. Dickinson for coroner and
E. B. Corning for surveyor. They
then took a recess to give the demo
crats a chance to meet again and
endorse their recommendations, which
the dems did with speed and fusion
was effected. In the foregoing, as
one delegate or more out of the two
bunches said, Otto Petersen and
Edgar Draper got it where the
chicken got the axe. The North
western representative was present
at the double-headed affair and
counted some nine to eleven demo
cratic delegates and about a dozen
pop delegates who were present to
make the political tie-up. Just what
the candidates who got left, so far as
it was possible for the double-headed
convention to do, will do in the mat
ter, we are unable at this writing to
state, but hardly believe they will go
way back and sit down, but will go
before the primaries of their respect
ive parties and tight it out there.
It is the general opinion that there
will be a merry go-as-you-please fight
on at the primaries and that the en
dorsement will amount to less than
the number of votes represented at
the so-called conventions.
Will the Times-Independent tell its
readers how it arrives at the con
clusion that Governor Sheldon spent
$35.25 per month for traveling ex
penses? Is it not because in the 24
months during which he was govern
or, the total amount of claims audit
ed for such expense amounted to
$846.00 while the audited expense for
this one item of railroad transporta
tion purchased by Gov. Shallenberger
during the live months mentioned by
the Times-Independent is $600.00.
That looks and sounds very much
like the usual trend of Democratic
argument and economy. Charlie
says “You are all aware of the fact,
or at least you ought to be, that the
amount left over by an official does
not become available to his succcess
or.“ Such a display of ignorance in
an editor of a Loup City paper who
is trying to be a credit to the com
munity is positively painful, so, for
his enlightenment we will give him
this information: Appropriations for
state officials are not made to the
person, but to the official, and is
legally drawn upon by that official,
be it Gov. Sheldon or Gov. Sliallen.
berger, or any other legally elected
official, if within the time between
April 1st at the close of the legis
lature and the April 1st of the second
year thereafter, commonly known as
the biennium. If Gov. Shallenberger
had permitted this specific $600.00 to
remain in the people's treasury,
without a contract for its expendi
ture against it prior to April 1st,
then this sum would have lapsed
back to the people and the taxpayers
would have been $600.00 ahead. This
expenditure does not in the least
affect the $1,000.00 additional ap
propriated for the governor's ex
penses by the last legislature, which
appropriation Gov. Shallenberger can
draw against throughout the balance
of his term, Correct information is
a good thing to give your readers,

Among the political announcements
at the head of our editorial columns
this week appears the card of M rs.
Mary A. K. Hendrickson, asking the
nomination at the hands of the voters
of all parties. Mrs. Hendrickson by
principle and environments lias al
ways been a republican, but above all
has the interests of education at
heart and asks the votes of all friends
of school interests. She tiled her
petition with the county clerk yes
terday morning.
Among the casualities of the Na
tional celebration Monday was caused
by a young fellow in Iowa lighting a
cannon cracker with his cigar and
throwing away his smoker placed the
cracker between his lips, where it
exploded, knocking out two or three
of his teeth and nearly putting out
an eye. It was a case of pure care
lessness, not intentional.
Microbe*.
Scientist* say we couldn't live with
out microbes. Wish, however, thev
couldn’t live within us.
Finishing Corn Cultivation
J ust a closing word on laying by
the corn. Most of the fields are now
being cultivated for the last time,
and Nebraska corn is indeed promis
ing. The question which concerns a
good farmer is “How can I improve
the yield of my corn field?’’ When
we carefully figure up the time we
have already spent in bringing the
soil to a proper tilth and the corn to
its present conditions will it pay us
to add just a little more labor if we
can further increase the yield? We
think it will, and therefore wish to
urge that the field be gone over with
a single horse, five-tooth cultivator,
which will destroy the young weeds,
level the ground and conserve the
moisture for the corn itself. This
should be done twice at least, the
first time commencing about July
15th and the second time during the
first week in August. Should a
heavy rain occur near the times
stated, follow with cultivation as
quickly as you can get on the ground.
Doubtless you will say this is too
much work when we are busy in grain
and hay fields, but it will easily pay
an expenditure of *'S.oo per day. This
is not theory but is gathered from
actual experience, for it was the plan
followed by the boy at Gretna who
raised 102 bushels on a single acre
last year while his father's field ad
joining, cultivated in the usual cld
fashioned manner, went only .'15
bushels to the acre. Two years ago
in competition for the prize offered
in the acre corn contest by the State
Board of Agriculture, Harry Olderog,
of Gretna, raised 118 bushels and 30
pounds from a single acre and finish
ed up his cultivation in this manner.
With such facts confronting you, can
you afford to miss your opportunity?

culture.
The Wayne Democrat tells of a
Madison man, who in looking through
a lot of papers, ran across the follow
ing list of distressing accidents:
While Miss Pearl Kinsmore of East
Wind, Ind., was coming down stairs
Tuesday, she slipped and bruised
herself on the landing. A mos Wlttleby
of Woolpost, Kas., while harnessing
a fractious horse, was kicked just
south of the corn crib. He is able to
be about again. While Harold Green
of Beulah, Miss., was escorting Miss
Violet Goof home from church Sunday
night a savage dog set upon them and
bit Mr. Green four times in the public
square. Joseph Tutt of Grimmels
burg, la., climbed on the roof of his
home last week to find a leak and
sliped and fell, striking upon his back
porch, and caused searious injuries.
Isaiah Timmer of Danbury, Neb.,
was playing with a cat Friday, when
the animal scratched him on the
veranda.

Non-Partisan Candidates

chief justice of the supreme court,
judge of the supreme court, judge of
the district court, county judge, re
gent of the state university, state
and county superintendents of public
instruction non-partisan.
These candidates cannot be nomi
nated otherwise than by petition and
have no political party distinction
whatever.
With the county judge and county
superintendent, a petition must be
circulated and signed by not less than
200 electors. All other candidates
