Cook, the Artie explorer, who did not tind the north pole, has again lieen located and this time down in 1 Chile, the extreme South American republic.

As will i*e noticed by a telegram from Omaha in this issue, and by reports from over the state generally, it will te seen that corn over the j state is almost absolutely worthless! for seed and the fanners are alarmed over the subject. It will be well for our farmer friends to take special h > d and make thorough test of their > ed >rn and see that only the very !• st and that which will he sure to grow l>e planted. Get busy now. Kx.Gov. Geo. Sheldon gives it out that he is a receptive candidate for I'. S. senator: that is, lie will not take the initiative, but is in the hands of his friends, so to speak. Georgie speaks very bitterly of being turned down for governor after hold ing down the executive chair one term, and con't propose to take the "initiative” in another chance to get it in tlie neck. The Northwestern is of the opinion that there are a whole lot of better men for office in this state and unnecessary to bring this overrated young fellow out of his en forced retirement. The Chicago Tribune lately sent ut letters to the publishers of news papers west of the Alleghany moun tains. asking them if they were for ( annon for speaker, and if they ap proved of the tariff bill. A poll was also taken on the preference for president. Of the 3,199 republican editors who replied to the Cannon question, iW were for Cannon, and 2,653 against Cannon. Of the Ne braska republican editors, 14 were for Cannon and 190 against. Of the 3,498 voting on the tariff bill, 812 approved or it and 2,(186 disapproved. Among the Nebraska editors. 25 were for the tariff bill and 175 against. There were 3,037 republican editors who voted on the choice for president. Of these 1,360 were for Roosevelt, 1,093 for Taft, 197 for I.aFollette. 122 for Hughes, 05 for Cummins, 30 for Pin chot, 14 for Cannon, 40 for Bryan, and 116 scattering. The question they answered in making this vote was, “If you could vote for president to day, for whom would you cast your bailot?” Of the 165 republican editors who voted preference for president, 52 were for Taft and 87 for Roosevelt. There were twenty-six states canvassed. The vote in each shows a uniformity of sentiment One can almost count up the post master editors voting in each of the states, on the tariff bill and on Can nonisrn. In Ohio 35 republican editors voted for Cannon and 251 against: S3 endorsed the tariff bill and 238 opposed. In a more radical state, Minnesota for instance, the vote was 15 for Cannon and 228 against: 26 for the tariff bill and 229 against. In Nevada 3 editors are standpatters and 4 are insurgents on both questions. The publication of this vote ought to settle a number of things in Nebraska. One of impor tance is that the republican editors of the state are not for Cannon, and they are not for the tariff bill. In a secret ballot, such as this was, 25 Nebraska editors are for the tariff bill and 175 are opposed. The democratic party is all broken up over the manifesto issued by William Jennings Bryan in favor of county option. They had a meeting mostly of pie-eaters at Lincoln last week, in which Gov. Shallenberger's chosen satellites were in the majority. Hairless Jim Dahl man of Omaha was there with his boom, which received a body blow and is supposed to now be in a decomposing state. The hair less was mad when it was given out that his own peerless Bryan had come out hot for county option and said Bryan’s action had placed him self and Sliallenberger in the same political bed, and with a grimace seemed to feel that Shalle had ap-, propriated most of the "kivers.” but insisted he was in the melee for governor to stay. The meeting was a distinct frost for Boss Dennison's hairless find, and the nervy little "whiskey-above-every-other-consider ation'' mayor of Omaha was placed squarely on the toboggan-slide into obscurity. Poor Dahlman. But then he will help take the democratic party of Nebraska with him. It is stated plan> are being formulated for a big county option convention to be held at Lincoln later, along non partisan lines and that Bryan, when he comes home from flirting with the senoritas of South America, will come out in that convention squarely for county option. But can the "Peerless” take the majority of the democratic party with him into the county option campy Fickle Aunty ; Democracy, what will she do'.' Our democratic friends are gro tesquely funny in their acrobatic feats in this state, but, then, they are al ways “amoozing.” The last legisla ture, which was democratic, you know, made a number of new laws, and closed with a great blaze of trum pets over their great work. However the supreme court with pleasing unanimity tucked one after another of these democratic infants away into everlasting sleep, until all were put away save and only “the 8 o'clock closing law,’’ and now even that one righteous measure is found credit ed to the republicans, and leaves not one peg for Aunty Democracy to hang her legal skirts upon. She is, however, still clinging to it as her only salvation, in >pite of the record otherwise, which we give as follows: house: Democrats voting yes.30 Democrats voting no.36 Absent. 5 Republicans voting yes.21 Republicans voting no. 2 Absent. 6 senate; Democrats voting yes.7 Democrats voting no.12 Absent. 1 Republicans voting yes.12 Republicans voting no. 1 Absent. o . summary: Democrats voting yes.37 Democrats voting no.48 Absent.6 Republicans voting yes.33 Republicans voting no..3 Absent. t And this is the manner in which the democrats didn't pass the eight o’clock closing law. Will Brer. Beus hausen and his demo-pop Times please sing a requiem and provide an appro priate epitaph for his poor, old, dis mantled, unmourned, late demented democratic legislature? It seems that Mrs. Harvey Lillie, the David City woman, who was sent to the pen for alleged killing of her husbana in that city a few years ago, and later pardoned by Gov. Mickey, made more history in Pomona, Calif., lrtely, to which city she went after her pardon. She was in the millinery business at Pomona wfth a man named Plants, who claimed she was his wife, but which she denied. Plants was accused of the larcency of goods found in their place of busi ness, lie was arrested, the store closed through an attachment for money loaned Mrs. Lillie to conduct the business and the woman disappeared. Such is the history of the affair as given in the Pomona Times, and will be of interest, in remembrance of the Lillie woman's unenviable reputation the details of which at the time shocked Nebraska with her alleged terrible crime. The newspaper man notices, if others do not, that whenever a man gets into trouble with a neighbor, or neighbors, which he does not want to get into print, he shies his castor into the door of the newspaper office with the pleading request that noth ing be said about it in the paper. And another thing in this connection is that when the same man is asked to subscribe for said paper he always! has more papers than he can read, or any other inane excuse that happens | to lodge in the roof of his mouth. > We do not refer to either of these j tilings other than to call up such facts as pleasant episodes in the! newspaper man's daily routine. It was not so very many moons since, that a man called the editor to one side and requested that his little physical argument with a fellow be not printed in this best paper in Sherman county, while he was not a reader or even a friend of the paper. Later a man capie to the w riter and asked that a neighborhood brawl be kept out of our columns as he did not , wish the publicity the news would j give him, and yet this same man is I known to have used his influence to j get readers to change from this paper to another, with which he felt more kindly disposed. Later yet. a man who is not a reader, nor could be in-, duced to be a reader, came to the office earnestly requesting the suppres-! sion of news of trouble between he and his neighbors, giving no reason why this should be done, except as a 1 personal favor to himself. It is not necessary for parties to come to us for the suppression of scandalous happenings, those which reflect upon | the good name of our town and coun ty, as the Northwestern does not believe ingiving wide publicity tosuch nrtters. not as a favor to such as get1 mixed up in them, but with a desire ‘ to give to the public only such mat ters as are of general interest and conduce to the good name of ourj county and town at home and abroad. Our readers as a class are asvare of our course in these things, for the reason they never, or very seldom, at least, get into such mixups. Moral: Subscribe for the Northwestern, as an antidote for all such ills. An interesting- study in types of j American citizenship was presented Lst week by two young Nebraska men who were in the national capital on leave from different eastern col leges. Both young men were comely, well groomed, polished in appear ance and seemed fairly representative of the cultured American college man. j Each has won laurels in his studies, j (hie has a rare tenor voice, is a mem ber of the Harvard glee club and a singer in one of the Hub's exclusive churches. The other is the winner of many athletic victories, has done 100 yards in ten seconds, Hat, has played football for four years, and is a star on his college track team. Both men met at the committee room of one of the Nebraska men in con gress, on whom tbey came to call. . One of these dark haired youths can trace his ancestry to good old Puri tan stock. The other's forbears may have met the Puritans when they came to these shores, for he was from the Carlisle Indian school. The point is, you could not tell w hich was the Indian. Wilson, the man who some time since was arrested for the murder of Davis, a pool hall man at Ainsworth, was Tuesday of this week found guilty of the crime, the jury bring ing in a verdict of murder in the | first degree and imposing the death penalty. Davis was murdered near his home between eleven o’clock and midnight on the nignt of December 27th. just after closing his place of business. Wilson, convicted of the j murder, was a hanger about town, ; posing as a detective, and when ar rested had some ?22o on his person, the amount Davis was known to have had with him, and blood stains cover ed the bills when found. Wilson coolly denied knowledge of the crime and his conviction is purely on cir cumstantial evidence, but so strong there seems not a shadow of doubt as to his guilt.

A report is going around that Dr. Grotlian had gone insane at his home in Kearney. A diligent search for the foundation or the story fails to reveal any valid authority and we are inclined to discredit the report. No news of the kind lias been in the daily papers that we can find. Later —A special telephone message to the Quiz says that the doctor had trouble with his wife a couple of weeks ago and struck her. He also got mad at his cow and killed her, but that he is not crazy. -Ord Quiz. 3 on 62. Ashley Conger, the dray man. Get him. Microbes. Scientists say we couldn’t live with out microbes.
