Mayor Dalilman is not alone in wanting the office of governor, as we understand the present incumbent will make a go for re-nomination, and Berge is again looking longingly at the big seat. Wonder if Shallenberger is really going to call an extra session of the legislature? Dispatches from Wash ington, where the governor has been hobnobbing with other state execu tives, gives it out for a fact, as com ing from Shallenberger himself. It seems the college merger be tween Hastings and Bellevue colleges is off, Bellevue objecting to being knocked out of existence. Last week Friday afternoon the trustees of Bellevue college met and formally and finally voted to reject the prop osition to merge with Hastings col lege as ordered by the Presbyterian synod a short time since. On the contrary, the trustees "have made declaration of independence from the snyod and will continue the college on an independent basis. It would not be much of a political eampaign in Nebraska with Little Giant Thompson of Grand Island out of the running, hence this fall, 'agin or yit,” the announcement comes the little Giant will try to break into the U. S. senate in the place of Elmer J. Iturkett. ' And this per ennial candidate will not he alone, as W. D. Oldham of Kearney, one Shum way of the Scotts Bluffs country, W. J. Taylor of Custer couuty, who made merry antics in the late de mented legislature, and no doubt a whole raft of other hungry demo crats, who have not yet come out of the woods, will light for the deino pop support, while Chas. O. Wheedon has announced on the republican side that he will buck Burkett off the track, and such men as Congressman Norris, ex-Gov. Sheldon, and maybe others will enter the race on the G. O. P. side. All this is very in teresting, but just how muchstrength each of these men mentioned may he able to show is as yet an albegraic quantity. While this is going on, the friends of Burkett are taking off their coats and getting to work. From many points over the state, Burkett clubs are being organized, and it is being shown that the so called insurgent-mania of a few Lin coln fellows is not so much a real in surgency against King Cannon and the arbitrary rulings of the regulars, as it is against Burkett and his can didacy, and the leaders thereof, so far as we can glean, seem to be more along the line of disappointed pie seekers. rattier than with the desire to better conditions for the masses. When one sees Alphabet McKesson, who lias been for lo, these many years, a hanger-on about the political crib, and such cattle heading the move ment called “insurgency,” it is time to look with suspicion on tlie move ment. And then, there is Frank Harrison, everybody knows Frank, who just agitates and agitates, and then agitates some more, and gets more fun out of it than all the rest combined, but never expects to be taken seriously. Then don't forget 1'aul Clark, another of those Lincoln “insurgers,” who has always been understood to be an old-line Bur lington plugger in the balmy days of railroad control, and who at one time was speaker of the lower house of the Nebraska legislature, when the speak er was allowed to draw $3 extra per day for presiding, and who, like all the rest, save one, still keeps that unconstitutional graft in his pocket, even after it was declared unconsti tutional. Aud then there are a number of other same kind of “re formers" who are in the “insurge for what there is in it” that makes one pause before accepting the move ment as something sor the better ment of the masses. There will have to be better and more patriotic people doing the Nebraska “insurg ing,” we opine, before the prairies will be set “atire” with the idea. There can be no more shipments of liquors by express or freight without a label on the outside of the package stating exactly what the package contains, and it must be addressed to the person wiio bought it. Con gress at the last session codified, re vised and amended the penal laws of the United States, and January 1st was fixed as the date for the new code to go into effect. A penalty of five thousand dollars and forfeiture of the liquor is imposed for violation of this provision of the code. The effect of this law will be to practical ly break up every blind tiger in dry territory. There will be no way to escape the law. in addition to the penalty against a shipper, there is also a heavy penalty against any rail road or other agent delivering such goods when not properly marked. There will be no way the keeper of a blind tiger can procure the liquor lie sells, except from moonshine distiller ies. The arrival of liquor at the sta tion in large quantities consigned to one person will be a dead give away, and it will be very easy to spot every blind tiger now running in dry terri tory—Bedford (Va.) Bulletin. If “Comet A of 1910’’ has a sense of humor it is glowing with glee at the way it stole Halley’s comet's For six months past Halley’s has been advertised as the coming greatest show on sky. Everybody has been waiting with impatience for the par ade to begin. When an unexpected vagrant showed up in the west last week it reaped the benefit of all that advertising, for at least Half the world at once craned its neck on the supposition that this was the big show. Mr. Pinchot beat the presi dent to the conservation’question week before last. The San Francisco earthquake buried Senator La Fol lette’s great speech on the railroad question. Dr. Cook took the wind out of Peary’s sails. And even in the heavens there is such a tiling as one celestial body beating another “to it.” A frisky wave of the tail as “Comet A” turns the corner will spell its wicked triumph at the way it fooled us and its sister comet.—State Jour nal. Tiie State Board of Agriculture met in Lincoln last Friday and re elected W. R. Mellor as secretary for the coming year. O. P. Hendersliot of Hebron was elected president, C. H. Rudge absolutely refusing to consider a re-election to that im portant place. The board did the wisest thing possible in keeping AVill Mellor in the secretary’s office, and Loup City and Sherman county feels proud over the distinction accorded our fellow citizen, who is one of the best men in the state and a power for good in the up-building and carrying forward of the work of the State Fair. Last Friday evening a number of our star gazers noticed a comet in the western sky. and at once con cluded that they had seen the won derful Haley comet, scheduled to ap pear at the present time, to be seen during this month and up to the latter part of February only with powerful glasses and later visible to the naked eye. The conclusion was of course erroneous, as the comet seen Friday evening and on the nights fol lowing is a new comet called “Comet A 1910,” which has stolen a march upon the scientific people, by reason of the days and weeks of cloudy weather, which has kept the visitor hidden from gaze. The new comet was first noticed at Johannesburg, South Africa, on Tuesday of last week, by reason of the clear appear ance of the heavens., and a few days later by astronomers at the Lick observatory, and then lost to view owing to the clouds. Friday evening was the next appearance to the people, the evening being clear, and by telegraphic dispatches it is noticed that it was seen in the western sky by all observers in this portion of Uncle Sam's domain about f>:30 in the evening and being in plain view for an hour or more before it set in the southwest. Saturday evening hereabouts the comet could not be seen, owing to obscurity by the clouds, but on Sunday evening about 7 o'clock it could be seen clearly a little below and to the right of Venus. It is probable that by the time you read this it will be too late, if you have not already seen the visitor, as appearing so low in the western horizon at first, the lengthening days will soon bring daylight to obscure the sight. The comet's tail was well defined and according to scientific report some ten degrees long, what ever that may signify. But then it was not Haley's comet, which you will have to wait few a weeks' longer to see. When Chief Cole of the police force went home to lunch the other day, his good wife asked if he had forgotten to bring the meat. •‘No,” said the chief, searching diligently in all his pockets, ‘‘I have it here some place.” From one corner of a vest pocket he drew forth a package and with many sighs of different size re marked, “Here is enough for baby, I think; I only had sixty cents today. As a reward for paying cash for the meat, the generous butcher gave me a picture of Swift's premium ham for you and I to feast (our eyes) upon. Tried to get a bone for the dog. but the g. b. informed me that the bone sold for the same price as the meat.” —Aurora Republican. That bright star in the southwest which you have noticed and have admired is Venus. In the south and rather high up may be seen Mars and a little way from him is Saturn. Mars can be distinguished by his peculiar color—a light red. Still fur ther to the east Neptune may be seen and after middight .1 upiter is one of the brightest stars. He rises about midnight. Mercury will soon be the morning star. The meat boycott on high prices, started at Cleveland, Ohio, last week, is spreading over the United States with lightning rapidity, and already many thousands of people in the lar gest cities have joined the boycott movement. The result already is having the effect of lowering the price of meats wherever the boycott is on. School Notes The usual literary program will be given Frioay, Jan. 27tli, at the school house. All invited to attend. Supt. O'Connell has been elected director of the West Central High School Debating League, but declined the position as the Loup City schools was not represented. He has also been appointed as judge on the inter collegiate debate on thought and com position, to be held at Omaha on Feb. 18th. An extra class in Algebra is to be started at the beginning of the new semester, Mrs. McCray in charge. In the past year and a half the high school has made many improve ments. Among them are: 1. The High School has been changed from a three to a four year high school. 2. Normal work has been introduced An increase from 11 to 21 members in the class. The school receives $350 per year from tiie state to aid them in the work. 3. Music has been put into all the grades. 4. Agriculture has been added. 5. New laboratory apparatus has been obtained. 6. The school prides itself in the possession of a piano. Austin News The dinner given by the Ladies of the G. A. 11 and daughters of veter ans at Loup City last Saturday was much appreciated by all, especially the old veterans. It makes our hearts swell with pride that we are held in loving remembrance by those who were our mothers, wives and sweet hearts and their daughters, while we were at the front from ’<il-’6o. We appreciate your kindness and you are thanked many times for the bounti ful dinner spread before us and we hope you may live long years to enjoy the blessings of this life.

Insurgency in Schools A teacher in one of the graded schools of Sherman county writes to a friend in Lincoln that her pupils are taking a great interest in politi tieal affairs. She says: “We have a tine session of “current events,” and all the children are insurgents or recognized democrats. They have al ready elected Pinceot president, LaFollette secretary of state, and abolished the senate, which they call the 'house »f lords.’ ’’—State Capital. Man’s Lament She was ever soft and clinging, And he always found her singing, When he came home from his labors as the night was closing in. She was languishing and slender And her eyes were deep and tender And he simply couldn’t tell her that her coffee was a sin. Golden hair her head was crowning She was fond of quoting Browning And—she knew the legends of the olden, olden time: And her heart was full of yearning, For the Rosicrucian learning, And he simply couldn’t tell her that her beefsteak was a crime. She was posted on Pendennis And she knew the songs of Venice And he listened to her prattle with an effort to look pleased; And she liked the wit of Weller— And he simply couldn’t tell her That the eggs he had for breakfast had been laid by hens diseased. So she filled his home with beauty And she did her wifely duty, Did it as she understood it, and her conscience didn’t hurt When dyspepsia boldly sought him And the sexton came and got him And his tortured frame was buried ’neath a wagonload of dirt. O, those marriageable misses, Thinking life all love and kisses, Mist and moonshine, glint and glamor stardust borrowed from the skies! Man’s a gross and sordid lummix, Men are largely made of stomachs, And the songs of all the sirens will not take the place of pies. —Walt Mason. It is said that an inexperienced young man, when sent out once upon a time to milk the cows, sat down on a stump and expected the cows to back up to him when he waved the pail. Foolish man! But is he any more foolish than the man who never advertises and yet expects the public to back up to his store whenever any thing is wanted?—Wahoo Wasp. Educational Meeting To be held at the M.
