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.

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."
