The iiouse last Friday killed two
bills hat ing for their aim the abolish
ment of t-apital punishment.
The Texas mania must he spread
ing rapidly. Oter lii.uuo liomeseekers
passed through the Kansas City
utiiMi depot in one day a siiort lime
since bound for Texas, according to
reports. _
Galt of Clay introduced a bill in
the legislature last Friday for state
wide prohibition. It is understood
the hill is introduced not with the
expectation of its passage, but to put
the members on record for or against
prohibition.
Gov. t arroil of Iowa on Tuesday of
i ims week vetoed the Oregon idea of
selection of candidates, giving as one
reason that "it was an evasion of the
constitution of the United States:"
that it is an attempt to indirectly
a -ompii'li something that can not
I l*e done directly."
'Hie York Tim.*- truthfully states
that the man wh starts a newspaper
to ‘heat somebody." or to assist one
faction to down another faction is
foreordained to tailure. Also: “A
newspaper must live on its merits as
j a newspaper or its state of mortal
’existence will be of few days and full
< of trouble."
J As is usual at every session of the
j legislature, a number of the mem
bers have come to the conclusion
they are atout the right size for
gubernatorial honors. So far. only
those having democratic symptoms
are noted, those on the republican
side not allowing themselves to en
J lertain any specific symptoms, owing
i iiaely to the fact that there is at
present a republican governor, and
serving his first term.
J. A Converse of Gibbon was here
las’. Friday looking after his real
estate interests. Asked about the
Bassett incident, he assured us Mr.
liassett was a dead duck politically,
because lie voted against capital re
moval. and further that the people
of Gibbon did not want the capital
at Kearney, but wuuld prefer to kave
it located at Grand Island. Foor old
Kearney: pulling chestnuts from the
tire for i.rand Island.
It looks as though the present
lemoeratic legislature was trying to
lnd s me loophole to escape passing
.lie initiative and referendum meas
- re. or to at ieast tack on enough
•bjectionable amendments to render
e measure inoperative in case of
passage Even now “Daddy” Bryan
1 would have difficulty in recognizing
his much vaunted offspring. How
ever, they know they will not dare
murder ii outright, hence its passage
*n some form is assured, even if
I battered almost to death.
Court House Dope
Tlie county dads met Tuesday
; afternoon of this week for the con
sideration of tlie court house propo
sition in all its phases. They had
advertised for bids for tlie construe
ti n of a “lean-to ' or addition to the
old eye->ore sufficient to give room to
the several county officers who are at
present in rented rooms over the
city. At tlie meeting Tuesday tlie
court room was crowded with" tax
payers in opposition to building any
addition to the present shack and
many took occasion to present their
views, some in favor of voting bonds
for a new court house.others in favor
of a levy proposition, but notone to
do reverence to the * lean-to” idea.
After J. v\ Long. E. S. Hayhurst,
If. VV. Conhiser. A. E. Charlton. R. F.
Starr and others had voiced senti
ments in regard to tlie matter, a
straw vote was taken on the bond
and levy propositions, bonds showing
17 friends, while the levy had 27
votes. After threshing the question
some little further the taxpayers
withdrew and the Ikiard after con
sulting together unanimously agreed
i/> a recess till Friday. 24th, when
they wilt re-convene and thresh the
court house question ont to some
decision In the meantime the jollv
members of the hoard wish it fully
utidersuxxl there is no lobby law or
necessity for registering as lobbyists
to appear and argue the question
before them Individually' or collec
tively . tor or against any "proposition,

mucb of tlie sentiment over the coun
ty as possible liefore convention to

Testing Seed Corn
i Tiie majority of wide-awake corn
growers realize the advantage of test
ing tiieir seed before planting. The
‘ear to row” method of improving
com iias emphasized the need of
"electing seed corn on the ear. Altho
the apparatus required for testing
tiie germination of ear corn need not
lie expensive, still it is believed that
there are many who hesitate to un
dertake tiiis work through fear that
it will involve the expenditure of
much time and labor. To satisfy
tiiis demand and u> arouse a greater
Interest in corn improvement, the
Nebraska Seed Laboratory has ar
ranged to make single ear germina
tion tests of seed corn for Nebraska
farmers. Not more than fifty such I
tests, bocnever, can be made for one |
person. If you wish your seed tested
w rite us to Uiat effect and we w ill
send you fifty small envelopes in
which Lite samples can he sent to tiiis
laboratory Lei us know at once if
you wish to make tiiis test. Address
Nebraska Seed Laboratory, Lincoln.
