It is about time to get action looking to its observance lie re , Mark Twain Samuel L. Clemens) died last Thursday. April 21st. He w»s the greatest of America's hu morists and authors. Some atrocious punster got this off, dying soon from the effects: "Taft is a survival of the fattest." He should have been shot on sight Bryan seems to be crawfishing somewhat on the county option idea w>» claims he does not wish to t«ng it in as a dictation to demo cnrj:jati merely his private opinion, you know.

It is authoritativeto claimed t-Lyy the population of the I'nited States l*as advanced some 12,000.000 In the I**1 ten yean, and during the same Hy. the** lias been a decrease of eg 5,000.000 in the number of avail able food animals, such as cattle, sheep and swine, and that this in pan accounts for the increase In the price of meat products. All kinds of hog stories have been going the rounds during the high prices of the porker, but Fremont takes the doughnut, hole and all. for the one which the Fremont Tribune geu off. A hog belonging to the • Nebraska Livestock companv was butchered a few days ago which upped the scales at 1315 pounds, and if patd for at the top price would lave netted a little over ei^. The aoimal was just past three years old. stood 42 inches high, &4 Inches “heart measure" and 11‘, bone measure. Iu weight was as much as that of a ^y draying horse. It is supposed b? *he largest hog ever grown in Nebraska and Its hide will be mount ed - Exchange. - Have you seen Halley's comet? It Is la sight now if you get up early **“»**» in the morning. You will find It in the northeast for a little while any clear morning. It is so i close to the sun it does not rise till an hour or so before the great lumi dary and soon after the eastern sky j ** ***° to permit its being seen. J*o the time wlien It may be seen is , quite snort. It lias passed around the sun and is now on its return trip, just having made the turn and is oominf toeard tlie earth at a fearful speed, the earth, going in an oppo site direction, is rushing on in its comparatively slow course to meet tire stranger, which makes its trip only once in about 75 yean. It looks like a star now but coming toward us at three or four million miles an hour while we are going toward It at about flo.ouo miles an hour, so you see i we are approaching the stranger at a pretty fair pace. For this reason It will grow brighter quite rapidly. !Our nearest approach will be about i fifteen millions of miles, or one sixth ■ of the distance to the sun, which will be the brightest stage in the comet’s course from our point of view and that will be on May 17 and the day following we will plunge Into the comet’s tail. If that thing were as serious a proportioately as a cow's in fly time we would be whisked out of existence, but fortunately the tail of the comet is more for show than use and is not expected to have any effect upon ns. unless It may act aa a match and set fire to the upper strata* of the air. which are suppos ed to be composed of hydrogen gas, I the mast inflammable of gases. , Should it do this we will not have > time to say our prayers before the thing will all be over with so far as j we are concerned. Bnt It will not do this. If these upper strains of gas j could be set on fire shooting stars would have done the work long ago. ; But you will be interested In the {comet and should get up early every clear morning and see bow much It I has grown during the preceding 24 boom. Council Bluffs Crook Weds In Loup City Wanted for Burglary on Eve of Marriage Escapes to Hills When Sheriff Seeks Arrest But Caught Later Near Rockville by Sheriff Paroled From an Iowa Penitentiary County J udge Smith on Friday of last week issued a marriage license to Wm. E. Rolph and Marie Swaney both of Oouucil Bluffs. The bride bride were here on a visit, the groom coming from Council Bluffs to be married. Last Sunday, following the mar riage above mentioned, Sheriff Wil liams received a phone message from Council Bluffs asking if such a man as the gloom was described to be was in Loup City- Upon the sheriff an swering in the affirmative, he was later advised by the police tliat Rolph was wanted at Council Bluffs for burglariring three stores on last week Thursday night, giving a description of tiie stolen goods, which consisted of a suit of c'oUves. and a number of articles of woman's apparel, a list of which was given the sheriff, who was asked to arrest Rolph. hold him sub ject to tiie arrival of the officers from the Bluffs and find if possible„Lhc stolen stuff. Sheriff Williams went to U*‘ home of Ovas. Sickles, where tiie girl-wife had been staying, and found a number of the articles. He liven drove down to the home of Andy Gray, in Clay township, wive re he learned the wanted man and his bride were attending Uve wedding of Mr. Gray's daughter, taking with him his deputy. Jay Cola. On the way, he met Clias. Sickles returning from the wedding, who infofmed um sheriff that Rolph would be found up stairs, wive re be had put In most of his time, presumably on the lookout for the officers. However, as the sheriff and deputy approached the home, Rolph was sifting in front of the house and as one of Uve guests exclaimed "Here comes Uve sheriff: wonder what he is after." Rolph hurriedly left for the hills at the rear of uve house. Uve sheriff and deputy After him, but bej was too fleet of foot and darkness * coming soon, the officers were unable ! to make his arrest, although Slverlff Williams, in an attempt to intimidate the fallow, sent a bullet so uncom fortably near his head that he made ‘ an involuntary dodge. The young wife returned to town with the sher-: iff and willingly gave up all Uve! articles Rolph had brought with him from Council Bluffs, includir^ Uve dress she was married in. Tuesday noon, Sheriff Williams, ac companied by Chas. Sickles and Frank Hendrickson, went to Rock ville on Uve motor, and just west of Rockville saw their man Rolph just wiUvin live edge of a clump of trees. Reaching Rockville they hired a livery rig and toek Uve back track after Rolph. who bv that time had left Uve vicinity of the track and passed around Uve village, so when Uve sheriff and his men got in sight of him he had returned to Uve track and was nearly a mile beyond Rock ville. Driving slowly, Uve officers fooled Rolph into security, and when some thirty feet away the sheriff sprang from Uve rig, covering his man before he had time to recover his surprise, relieving him of his arsenals, put Uve darbyson him and that even ing brought him to Loup City and deposited him in Uve city’s detaining palace. Wednesday morning, Uve slverlff having notified Uve Council Bluffs police to come and get their man, U*ey wired him to take the man to the Binds, but having neces sary duUes at home sent back word for them to come and get Rolph, as he couldn’t take the time to go down with him, and at this writing the young man is still here awaiting fur ther disposition. Rolph is not & bad looking fellow of about 26 years, of medium build and perhaps 5 feet, 10 inches in height and entertains Uve curious about the jail with volu ble talks. He claims many things, among them is one to Uve effect that he purchased the articles found in Uve possession of his young wife from a party wno did steal them. He claims to have been in town several times between Sunday evening and Tuesday, and says he felt safe from capture unless seen by Sickles, the sheriff not knowing him by sight, and his hanging around here was for the purpose of taking his wife away with him. The Omaha papers of Monday contained quite lengthy ac counts of Rolph, whom they claim is a paroled prisoner from Fort Madison, IoWa. penitentiary, to which he had been sent up for three years for bur glary, and paroled at the end of two years. The articles in question were very erroneous in their account of the case here, which is given correct ly above. It Is expected the Council Bluffs officers will arrive this even ing after him. It would seem from past experience that Sherman county and Sheriff Williams would be the wisest place and being for crooks and bad men generally to keep away from. Sheriff Williams has in the past proved a terror to evil doers and none of the gentry coming under his ban have succeeded In eluding his official clutch, as past history will prove. Peter Pallesen of Dannebrog don’t believe in burying the hatchet like the Indian by leaving the handle sticking out for future convenience, but buries handle and all, according to the following article under his signature: “I hereby desire to publicly an nounce that I have at different times wilfully and maliciously slandered the name and reputation of' Represen tative Soren M. Fries, by accusing him of being a grafter and of receiv ing money for his vote and Influence while a member of the legislature. I now wish to make the statement that what I have said about Mr. Fries' record in the legislature Is en tirely untrue and without any foun dation whatever for such accusation. UI will also confess that I did it deliberately and for the purpose of injuring Mr.-Fries’ reputation and of casting reflection upon his honesty and integrity as stats representative. Peter Pallesen.
