Ravenna will have a handsome new
school house, bonds for that purpose
having been voted on Friday of last
week.
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

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.

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.
