There was no contest over any of the offices but that of :'i clerk. l*et*T FJowe winning over “Never Sweat ' by a majority of tin. which haitin 'raoiy discharged from his last ntract of service as an officer, sol dier. sailor or marine in the army, navy, or marine corps of the 1'nited states, lie considered to have been honorably discharged from all for mer simiiiar contracts previouslv enter-d into by him: and the time he a : uallr served in such army, navy or marine corps under his several con tracts of service shall lie deducted fr*m the 'period of live years' resi dence and cultivation required by sam I tomes trad laws, hut no patent siaii issue to him until after lie has resided upon, and cultivated his homestead for a period of at least one year after he shall have com menced ids improvements." That looks good to us ami if passed means much to I m le Sam's boys who have Itelped save the country. Tlieodore Roosevelt has just at present sprung a sensation upon the entire world which makes other sen sational matters look like the pale dght of Luna bv the side of the brightness of old Sol. In a nutshell. Roosevelt wanted an audience with tiie pope, just as every other visitor Rome desires to round out the numher of interesting events in their foreign travels. The representative f the pope gave it out to the rep resentative of Mr Rooesvelt that the •wild lie pleased to give him audience, but intimated that it would lie necessary for Mr. Roosevelt n >t u» allow any such regrettable incident to transpire as tiiat regard - ing ei-\ ice I "resilient Fairbanks, or such audience would not lie given. ! * is Roosevelt would not pro.nise, ami the puhiicatl>>n of the matter la> set tiie entire world ahla/e. The incident alluded to In tiie Kairtnnks *ase was tiie recognition of tiie Methodists at Rome liy Fairbanks, w‘ icli caus'd tiie pope to refuse the utter audience. It is said Roosevelt • ad no arrangements to meet or address tl,e Methodist*, hut stood on is rights to do as he pleased witli i.t restriction, hence called off tiie a diem-e with the pope on his own motion. The incident will cause the widest comment of anvthing coming into tiie limelight of publicity in the oast decade, and will be discussed t*r,« and con in every village* and iiamiet of tiie known world. Nest Monday. Lincoln will decide whether it wants saloons for the, .oming year or not. We received a pleasant call Tuesday i 'rom ex-Senator M. L. Fries of \rcadia Mr. Fries admitted he was i candidate forgovernor at the hands if tlie republicons. provided the party put county option in its platform: ; otherwise he would not allow hisi name to go before the voters for that ; otrice. We admire Mr. Fries for the! frankness of his position. He is un co naprisingly in favor of county1 option, and so states without any ! equivocation or evasion whatsoever. The Northwestern feels very favor ably disposed toward Mr. Fries, whom it considers one of the ablest men in the state and well qualified in every particular to give the state an administration that would have the approval of all right-thinking men. Congressman Norris would do w ise ly to secure a re-election to the lower house, rather than seek Elmer Bur kett’s seat in the senate. With the publicity he has achieved and his well known ability, there is not the slightest reason to doubt he could easily succeed Cannon as speaker of the house, which would give him far greater prestige than to be defeated for the senate, as we predict would lie the case in event of his aspiring to Senator Burkett's shoes. Outside of a few malcontents and disappoint ed pap-suckers, principally confined to Lincoln and Lancaster county, tlie state is well satisfied with the record of our senior senator. The longer Nebraska keeps such men as E. J. Burkett in the senate, the lietter and more favorably the state will be known and appreciatsd. .. The Plainview News brings this j educational item: A janitor in a J neighboring school threw up his job ! the other day. When asked what »iv the trouble he said: "I'm honest and I won't stand being slurred. If I find a pencil or a handkerchief bout the school I hang it up. Every j little w hile the teacher or some one I that is too cowardly to face me. gives 'me a slur." "In what way." asked j the ortieer. "Why. a little while ago ! : I saw written on the blackboard.1 •find the common multiple.' Well. | I looked from cellar to garret, and I i wouldn't know the thing if I met it j on the street. What made me quit I my job? Last night in big writin' j 1 on the blackboard, it said 'find the i greatest common divisor.' Well. I says' both of them darn things are lost now. and I'll be blamed for swipin' them, so I'll just quit.” "In considering your actual dress I needs for spring this year.” says < 1 race Margaret Gould in Woman's Home Companion for April, "don't overlook the separate coat. It is necessary not only for convenience's sake, but Fashion is regarding it just now with very particular favor. So many dresses are worn that one or more separate long coats are very much needed to make the spring wardrobe complete. No one style leads—it is the same story with the coat as with the frock, each is now suited to one's individual tastes and special needs. Long loose-fitting coats of pongee and Jcorded tussah or linen in the natural color will be very , much worn made with full sleeves and fastening in double-breasted ' style. The specially new feature of these coats is the low- one-side rever at tiie right side, which is faced with the same sort of silk that is used for the lining, and light here let me say that never lias foulard had such a great vogue as a lining silk as this spring. Gay-colored foulards are used to line natural-colored pongee coats.” School Notes The high school w ish to tiiank the ladies of the Cnity Club for the $10 they donated to the piano fund. The grade teachers are busy pre paring for Catron's Day, which is to be held some time in May. The 12th Physics class have a hard time swimming in the currents of electricity. Wonder if they will pull through? Miss Haggart was absent one day last week on account of illness. There is sixty or more pupils crowded into each of the lower rooms and more coming. There is an ab solute need of more room and teach ers in the near future. State Inspector Voss visited school one day last week. He was pleased with some things and displeased at other things. The senior class have begun to practice their play, an interesting comedy entitled, "The Deacon's Second Wife. ’ Miss Olive McCray is absent from school, owing to illness. Principle of Education. At the foundation of the art of edu I ration must be the following principle. I which those who make in advance the plans for such education must under stand: It is necessary to bring up children so that their education shall be adaptable not to the present, but to the future, perhaps better, condition of the human race—that Is. it should be adapted to the idea of mankind and to its entire designation. This princi ple is important in the highest de cree. Usually parents bring up their children so that they shall be fit only for the present world, even though it is depraved. Hut they should educate their children better In order to cre ate thus a future better state of man kind.—Kant. Small Boy Then and Now. This is the way the editor of the St. Joseph. Ga., Eye writes it: “David was considered a noble little fellow because he went forth and slew the giant. Go'.iath, with his sling. It pleased King Saul and all the children of Israel to such an extent that he was at once crowned as a hero and made a ruler. Very little heroism would be credited to an act of that kind in our day of the world. “Give the average ten-year-old boy a sling of the David style and he would not only kill all the giants with in four miles of him. but there would not be a window light nor a dog with in that radius.” In Book Form. "He is going to put his play into book form.” “What does that mean?” "Means he'll write 100.000 words, divide ’em into chapters and print ’em between covers.” Gibbon Conference, April 14th IX THE PRESBYTERIAN* CHURCH The program for the country church conference which will be held in Gibbon in connection with the spring meeting of Kearney Presbytery lias been completed. This Presbytery covers a large territory north of the Platte and lias in it many country and small town churches. It is one of a series of such conferences now in progress throughout the middle west. I>r. Warren H. Wilson of New York city is the promoter of this movement and is a specialist on the problems of the country church. His thought is to assist the church to a place of larger service to the rural community. The report of the country life commission has been of great assistance in the agitation of the problem of the country church. One of President Roosevelt's" last messages to congress was concerning this report.

Mr. Hinshaw lias made a good representative and is one of the brightest men in our state, but pre fers private life and some of this world's goods to the honor of rep resenting liis district and relieving uimself of more of the needful in so loing than his salary represents. In this case lie evidently does not jelieve it is mofe blessed to give .han to receive.
