J. W. IH HI.KI(.H.Kfl anti Pub
The governor will not call an extra
session of tlie legislature, that's
settled
Will Hayward, state republican
rtiairman. is mentioned as a proba
ble candidate for governor.
An accommodating noted tenor sing
er in Berlin recently gave Ids wife
bo a young physician and provided
them with to Ijegin life with,
lie lias set a new pace, which will
evidently prove more satisfactory to
U*we concerned.
So far as we hear, there is only one
candidate so far named as wanting
the republican nomination for gover
nor of this great state and he hails |
from I>avid City, and his name is;
Aldrich- but must not be confounded
with tbe bad-order senator from
Rhode Island of the same name. We
do not know Mr. Aldrich, but under
stand lie is making his race on the
reputation attained as a member of
what lie calls the “best legislature”
ever in Nebraska, which held its ses
sion some three years ago. If the
fact of having been a member of the
best legislative session ever held in
Nebraska is a sufficient reason for
attaining the honor of holding down
the chair of the chief executive of
this >tate. then indeed the honor
should go to any one of the republi
can membersof the "best legislature"
ever in the state, which would be the
one which passed the new revenue
law, and which antedated Mr. Ald
rich’s "best session" by several years.
And that calls to mind the name of
Senator M. L. Fries of Arcadia, who
was not only a member of the upper
house of the legislature, which for
mulated and passed the above-men
tioned revenue law. but was one of
the most active members of the com
mittee which drafted the law. and
who has been mentioned in connec
tion with the governorship. Gener
ally the action of the voters at the
legislative election following the pre
ceding session is a good criterion of
whether they consider it to have been
the "best session” etc., and if their
judgment is to lie taken into account,
then the session which passed the
new revenue law was the “best” as
at the subsequent session the senate
membership was wholly republican,
not a demo-pop hav ing a seat therein,
while at the session following Mr.
Aldrich's “best session" the whole
blamed legislature went to the bad,
electing a demo-pop house and senate.
So, if the “best session" fad is to go
through, Mr. Aldrich will necessarily
have to step to one side and gracious
ly give the palm to Senator Fries, if
the latter is in the race for the office,
as we have understood he is, provided
the people so wish.
A threat deal is lieing said at pres
ent over the new tariff law lately
passed, and undoubtedly much of the
criticism is well founded, while much
Is based upon ignorance of its pro
visions. Apropos of this discussion,
we append some figures,showing that
tiie imports entering free of duty ex
ceed the record of any preceding tarilf,
by possibly one hundred millions.
Let as be fair about this matter, and
while we “kick-’, let us register a
righteous one and give credit where
credit is due:
More than half of the merchandise
imported under the new tariff law
enters the I'nited States free of duty.
Tliis is shown by the bureau of
statistu-s in monthly ttatements of
imports since the new law went into
effect, August. 1909.
In the month of August the im
ports entering free of duty amounted
to 4o.:$2 per cent, in September, 40.25
per cent: in October. 50.61 percent:
in November. 54.11 per cent: in l>e
eeinber. 55.00 p(-r cent: the average
for the five months period being 51.5
l»er cent.
Kxcept for lssm, when sugar was
admitted free of duty, this is a larger
percentage of imports free of duty
than under any previous tariff law.
Prior to that time the highest an
nual average importations free of
duty was in ls41. when the percentage
was 49.53.
The total value of all merchandise
entering free of duty reached $100,
ooo.ooii in 1st:!, passed the $200,000,000
mark in 1880: the 9300,000,000 in 1391:
$4oo.imo,uuo in 1892: $5000.000.000 in
1905; $000,000,000 in 1907: and in tiie
calendar year just ended was prac
tically 97oo.ooo.oou, the figure being
$099,799,774.
Tiie principal articles iu this total
"f non-autiable imports for 1909 were
hides and skins. India rubber, pig
tin. raw silk, fibres, cotton, copper,
coffee, tea. cocoa, chemicals, art
works and undressed furs.
Occasionally a figure is quoted in
our national alTairs that emphasizes
the magnitude of the country. The
latest of this kind is the statement
that during the last year approxi
mately :soo,000,000 pennies were taken
by rural free delivery carriers from
the boxes on their routes where they
had Ijeen deposited with letters in
lieu of postage stamps, in accordance
with a rule permitting the patrons
of the routes to post letters in this
manner. That means that 150,000,000
letters were written and posted in
the rural districts in twelve months
for which the writers had no stamps
at hand. Considering the compara
tive lack of epistolatory enterprise on
tiie part of rural residents this is a
significant item. It suggests that
the rural free delivery stimulates
correspondence. Nevertheless, the
postal authorities find that the de
posit of pennies in the boxes tends to
delay the collection and delivery of
tiie mails and consequently instruc
tions have been issued to all rural
delivery postmasters informing them
that after the 15th of February the
practice will be discontinued. After
that date tiie farmers will have to
buy stamps. There will probably be
much grumbling, but eventually the
change will lie beneficial.—Washing
ton Star.
I’rof. .1. W. Searson. who will be
remembered as one of tiie instruc
tors in our county normals the past
few years, has resigned his position
as one of the instructors in the Peru
State Normal school, to accept £. far
more renumerative place in tiie
schools of another state, but just
where is not as yet made made public.
And still they come. Windy V.
Allen, who used to lie populist U. S.
senator from this state, is said to be
anxious to compete with Little (iiant
T lompson and Gilbert Hitchcock for
| If urket.t's place in tiie senato.
There's a merchant back in Syca
more, O.. who evidently doesn’t swear
allegianoe to the theory that ‘‘saloons
make business.” Judging from his
business card, one is forced to con
clude that this merchant thinks his
profits will go up as the saloon's
profits go down. On his card is found
this unique inscription:
Anyone who drinks three drinks of
whiskey a day for one year and pays
lo cents a drink for it can have in
exchange at my store:
Two hundred pounds granulated
sugar,
Twenty-five pounds cotTee,
Twenty pounds tea,
Fifty pounds prunes,
Twenty pounds raisins. x
Fifty pounds rice,
One barrel crackers,
One hundred pounds hominy.
Fifty cakes laundry soap,
Twenty-five cakes toilet soap,
Five dozen clothes pins,
Twenty gallons coal oil,
One hundred pounds salt.
Five pounds pepper,
Ten pounds starch,
One hundred pounds beans.
Twenty-five cans tomatoes.
Ten pounds soda.
Twenty-four boxes matches,
Ten cans salmon,
One hundred yards muslin,
One hundred yards calico,
Fifty yards gingham,
Fifty yards shirting,
Fifty yards outing,
Twenty-five yards toweling,
Fifty yards lace.
Five pairs lace curtains,
Five pairs blankets.
Ten pairs shoes.
Twenty-five pairs hose.
Fifty spools thread,
Thirty liankercliiefs,
Ten window shades,
Ten papers pins.
Ten papers needles,
Twelve dozen buttons,
Ten suits underwear,
Twenty-five yards matting,
for the same money and get $4.93
premium for making the change in
his expenditures.
Head this over carefully. Whether
you believe in the saloon or in pro
hibition, you will find much food for
thought in it. By adding a pencil
and paper calculation to your mental
impression you will also be able to
figure out whether the merchant
would make or lose by the transac
tion if lie should happen to be taken
up by somebody who was about to
swear off.—Lincoln Star.
Here is the story again of the mar
ried woman who imposed on her hus
band a baby that was not his and to
which she never gave birth. In this
case, however, the unsuspecting hus
band had four babies imposed on him
atone shake and the telegrams grave
ly inform us that there is a concern
out on the coast which does a land
office business furnishing babies for
wives who cannot or will not bear
them to impose on husbands who de
sire offspring. It may be there are
husbands living in lawful wedlock,
and on proper terms with their wives
who can thus be imposed upon. It
may be there are wives who were
never mothers, but who can make
their husbands believe they are be
come mothers. A lot of fools get
married there is no doubt, and some
cherish the notion that the male set
furnishes its full share. But the
married man who is not a sailor or
globe trotter, who stays around home
as is proper at such times and fixes
up the back lot, and who can be made
to believe there is a baby in the fami
ly when there isn't anything of the
kind, ought to have quadruplets foist
ed upon him. In fact lie is getting
off too easy at that. Nothing less
than a foundling asylum is his right
ful due.—State Journal.
Merchants of Nebraska have been
ealled to meet in Omaha, Mareli 8,
9 and 10, when the organization known
as the Federation of Nebraska Re
tailers, will hold a three days’ ses
sion. The object of the meeting is
to interest a larger number in the
co-operative plan of conducting their
stores, which lias proved a great sav
ing in many towns and cities, nota
bly in Madison. General discussion
on store problems will occupy the
largest part of the program and some
able men from other states have Deen
secured to make addresses. The or
ganization is headed by Fred Diers of
Madison and W. II. Avery of Tilden
is secretary. The program is now
being published and will be mailed to
a large list, but the secretary will be
glad to forward copies to anyone
addressing him.
Bohmuir Kryl
Why do successful musicians all
wear long hair? The question has
been asked time and again, and it is
going the rounds anew now, anent
the appearance at the opera house on
Manday, Feb. 14th, of Bohmuir Kryl
and his own concert company, for
Kryl has a shock of blonde hair beside
which even the reddish mane of
Paderewski pales. Kryl was asked
this question many times, but never
ventured a reply, any more than did
the great-Pole. But it is a fact that
musicians of the first rank are almost
without exception long haired. But
hair or no hair, Kryl can certainly
play more notes on the cornet than
iany cornetist ever did here before—
so said the New Yark Sun. He will
be assisted at the concert by Miss
Helen Norris, soprano, Miss Edna
Richolson, pianist, and Mr. Saraslav
Chimera, who is also Mr. Kryl’s
soloist when on tour with his band.
Josephine Kryl, violiniste, will also
appear with the company. She is a
great hit wherever she plays—she is
the daughter of Bohmuir Kryl.

AT TOMB OR GREAT WARRIOR.
Description of Last Resting Place of
Genghis Khan.
Genghis Khan, the Mongol chief, in
the thirteenth century proved himself
one of the world’s greatest warriors.
His tomb exists at Edchen Koro, and
is described in Count de Lesdain's
“From Pekin to Sikkim:’’ "Two small
tents, one behind the other, and con
nected by a very low inner door, made
of worn-out felt, and admitting
through their rents the rain and the
wind, are the ‘monuments’ destined
to perpetuate the renown of the
greatest conqueror the world has
known. . . . The ashes of the body
of Genghis Khan are deposited in a
kind of chest, cubic in shape, and
placed on a wooden support made of
small colored pillars, adorned with
paintings on all its sides, except that
facing south, which is covered with a
finely worked copper plate represent
ing a divinity surrounded by four ani
mals which are difficult to identify.
. . . The tomb, in fact, has not always
been here, but it is difficult to know
exactly where the first descendants
of the great emperor laid his remains."
