Champ Clark predicts a long and stormy session. Perhaps the wish is father to the thought. F. W. Ashto. Bayard H. Paine, W. H. Thompson and several other promi nent Grand Island democrats have purchased the Grand Island Free Press the only democratic .paper pub lished there, and will consolidate it with the German paper there and they have capitalized the company with $10,000.—Kearney I»emocrat. On Friday. April 19. the members of various political parties in this state will select their candidates for governor, all state officers, congress men. etc., and will express their choice for presidential and U. S. senatorial candidates at a primary election. On the first Tuesday after the first Mon day in April, which will of course, precede this primary, there will be the regular school and city election. There will then be plenty of politics over the winter and early in the spring. The great trial at Deuver on the boards the past week or so in which a beautiful woman was up for mur dering her husband ended in true nov elistic style by the clearing of the woman for killing of her brutal hus band and an excited populace cheer ing her for being freed from punish ment for her act. Now, if the w oman should go to Chicago and snuff out the villainous life of the instigator of the murderous affair, Millionaire Strauss, w ho ruined her life and made her what she is, the plaudits of the world would undoubtedly be hers. The surprising event of the past year in labor circles was the confess ion last Friday of one of the McXam erae tl*at he dvramifced Uie Los A n geles Times building of a few months' since for which he was on trial. Over the country at large, and among labor unions in particular, it was not thought the McXameras had done the dastardly deed, and the confess ion of theculpritcomes like a thunder bolt from a clear sky. What pressure was brought to bear on the murderous villain to make him cough up the confession we are not apprised but are glad the story of the deed is known. As a member of typograpical unions since the editor learned his trade back in the early '70s, until becoming an employing printer caused his with drawal from active participation in their deliberations, we believe we speak for that branch of unionism when we say printers as a body deeply deplore the sickening thrust at the life of unionism as a whole by the dastardly work of these secret asas sins. and no class of workmen more deeply deplore the deed than do the honorable printers over the whole country. The deed, the city where it occured, the printers auzilliary which will be most affected by it, the trial and the results of said trial, come closely home to the writer, as he was one of union printers who helped to organize the first typograph ical union in Los Angeles wav back in 1875. and has always felt a warm spot in his h eart for the printers of that city.

While out hunting last week two of our city lads accidently set a tire just southwest of Loren Gee's and for a while it looked like it would sweep the whole country south for miles which is all praiaie and hundreds of tons of hay on it but the boys never lost their nerve ani succeded in put ting it out after it burned several acres. They will never forget their experience. W. O. Brown. Ed Angier. Geo. Petersen and the carrier witnessed a sight at the river Saturday morniug when the ice went out that one does not often get to see. We heard the roar as it was coming down the river which sounned like a train and we only had to waite a few minutes. The sight was just hugecakesof ice would raise up and be crushed to pieces, in less than twenty minutes the river was out of its banks the rolling tumb ling mass of ice would form Urge whirl pools and that was grand to witness. This is the second time the ice lias gone out this fall. The ice is high in several places from the first cold spell. J. F, Jeffords Burned Out. Word was received here last week that J. F. Jeffords lost his residence at Bridgeport, the previous Monday night, together with every stick of the household furniture and belong ings. the family barely escaping from the burning building with their lives. The fire oceured a little before mid night. after the family had retired for the night. We understand Mr. Jeffords had some *1500 insurance on the house and contents. The family seem to be hoodooed along that line, they having suffered from like cause twice while living in Loup City, be fore moving to Bridgeport. Rough Necks Flayed As a partial recompense, revenge, or ease-oil to their cruelly lacerated feelings over their massacre by the Kough Necks a number of days ago, the regular football team on Thanks giving day turned in and mopped the Kough Necks off the football map. Following is a yived description of heartrending drama furnished us b> the fellows who were able to "come back." Sporting Heptarment .'orthwestern: "Although Capt. Kob Mathew and Airship Tracy went down to Lincoln to hire a few players and wath the Nebraska-Michigan game, and get a few pointers, they went dowu to de feat Thanksgiving liay by a score of t> to 0. The only man who could make a yard against the regulars was Nebraska's great half back, Owen Frank, who was hired by the r. u. s to come up and teach us a few of the tine points of the game. The feature of the game was little Ed Thrasher, who left his own team and plaveu with the rough necks, thereby hop ing to gain great honors, but tell by the wayside with the rest, lb seemed peculiar, when the regulars' great fullback, James Gilbert, would rush at the rough necks’ line it would lade away, with the exception of the afore said 1. e. t., who could not, by the looks of ills disfigured frontispiece. The rough necks claim that if they had their own team, namely. O. L. Swanson, Joe Keirnan, Frank Win klemann. and a few others too nu i merous to mention, the score would have stood differently. However, we wish to thank Capt. Bob and Airship Tracy for a few of those fake pla\s (taken from the clouds). A Regulak. “Is this your Son My Lord?” It must be an unusually cold day and late in the afternoon when Geo. H. Gibson, who used to publish the Standard Gauge, is not after some one s hide. Below we re-print an ar ticle from his Zephyrhills (Fla.) Col onist, in which he flays some preacher who has incurred his ill-well. We give it to our readers as a familiar ear-tickler of the old Gauge type: We have been bitten by Maryland bed bugs punctured by Nebraska fleas and pestered by Florida red bugs, but the sadest experience of all is to be chewed up by a real live political preacher. When Moses was called to assend Mt. Sinai’ to receive the tab lets of stone, he set about his task with the greatest unction, but upun his return, he found his people wor shiping a calf. Then and there he so I effectually stamped his disapproval, that even unto today the daily papers have not recorded a repetition. A good pi us preacher is the noblest work of God but when you compound the prescription with politics its like mixing lish oil with treacle. It makes one think of the Irishman who went to a cemetery and read on a tomb stone “here lies a lawyer and an honest man” and turning he asked; Phat the devil did they burry two I men in one grave for.” Theie are i men whose world is bounded by the | rim of a No. 7 Stetson, and whose in telect is co-extensive with their im maculate imagination. Our own re flection in a mirror, oft calls forth that sugar coated sentence from Spokeshear, “whatfools these mortals be.” Says MHk Is Overestimated la the December Woman's Home Companion, Dr. Roger H. Dennett, continues a series of articles on ‘‘The Healthy Baby.” Dr. Dennett is in structor in diseases of children in the Post-Graduate School and is attend ing physician in the babies' ward of the Post-Graduate Hospital, New York. In his article he makes the following comment on milk as a food: “Many mothers will be surprised to hear that a child may drink too much milk. If there is any one article of diet that is overestimated it is milk. Most mothers are imbued with the idea that if their children will drink milk they are well fed. Milk is a good food, but it must not be given to the exclusion of other foods. Time and time again I have children brought to me who do not eat because they drink one to two quarts of milk a day. i It is often necessary to take away the milk altogether, especially during the second ....r in order to get the child hung. enough to eat other things.”
