Congress convened Tuesday noon of
this week, it being the 62nd session.
As mouthpiece for democracy. 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.

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.”
