WH, by the pomes who were after
the convicts, and it does seem as il
tlie pursuers lost their heads in theii

that the posses had the murderous

precious hides or gone daffy ovei
their thirst for blood they failed tt

i hounds, resulting in the death of the
' innocent young farmer,
A week or two ago, the Northwest
ern publ ished the report, taken from
I some of our exchanges to the effect
i that Judge Hostetler was to become a
candidate for congress in this district
before the coming primaries. In an
interview with.Iudge Hostetler, while
! holding an adjourned session of dis
j trict court here Tuesday, he said the
report was without foundation in
fact, and that his first intimation of
the report of his candidacy was had
when he received the papers contain
ing it. J udge ilostetler said he had
not any sucii intention, and the fact
I of the unanimous re*ception of his
candidacy for judge and non-opposition
to his election would not have allowed
[ of his entertaining any such propo
| sitioti in justice to the people who
had so generously re-elected him to
j his present oltice.
We received a pleasant call Tues
' day of this week from our friend
i Henry Beck, of the west side, who is
democratic candidate for representa
tive. Some parties have evidently
misconstrued what we said about his
candidacy, two weeks' since, or we
failed to make ourselves clear. We
spoke of his opposition to the present
stallion law is one of the principal
t hings lie was opposed to in its present
! form not that he was opposed to a
law of that sort as he is most surely
in favor of an inspection law of stric
■ test kind, but as it Is now lie is op
posed to it and wants certain amend
ments which will in his opinion make
it just wliat it should be. It is only
fair to Mr. Beck that he be set right
lie fore the people, if they have wrong
ly interpreted his position from what
| the Northwestern said.
Should the Northwestern publish
half or even one-fourth, or even one
hundredth part of the stuff it re
ceives through the mail magnifying
the virtues and capabilities of the
hundreds of candidates for office to
be voted upon at coming primaries,
we would have to publish a blanket
sheet daily that would make Zink's
bed-room sheet lix>k like a fly-speck
beside of the noted Jumbo. And
those patriots want their excelleucies
ex trolled for thanks, for the most
part. Some of them seud as high as
40 cents to the printers, while others
get gay with money and throw as
much as $2 to the printer man. The
Northwestern can t send on those
thanks to its houses and get credit on
its bills to any alarming extent, hence
it will have to be content to till its
columns with real news for the bene
ut of its readers and make it worth
more to its advertisers. If these pa
triots would give over their salaries,
if elected, and accept thanks as recom
pense for their time in office, the put!
balls might fly galore.
The democratic papers of this sec
tion and some ol the republican pa
pers last week contained a write-up
and a picture of a young man named
Hamer, from some place not men
tioned in the a forsaid paid political
write-up. who wishes to be state
treasurer. The present State Treas
urer Walter A. George has made a
good and efficient officer, and we
hardly believe the $2 spent on the
democratic print shops will be suffi
cient to enlist the sympathies of the
republican voters in his behalf and
turn the present state treasurer down.
Evidently the young man takes the
primary ballot idea as evidence that
partyism is no more and making
love to both democrats and republi
cans alike will win him the nomina
tion. The question then really arises
to which party may we ascribe him?

We take the following excerpt from
the columns of the Zephyrhills (Fla..)
Colonist which sounds so like an echo
of the old Standard Gauge, that any
one would recognize its author, and
goes to show that even in the glori
ous climate of Florida the sunshine
of good feeling does not always pene
trate the marrow of the former Gauge
man:
‘Tis the forte of a newspaper man
to teli the truth as near as can be as
certained always, and to report mat
ters of news correct and report them,
j Always use a charity commensurate
with good judgement and the best in
i terests of the community. Butthere
| is always to be found, some long, lean,
> lank, lantern jawed quadriped that
has an imaginary ax to grind, that
has to endeavor to foment a little
spleen among his fellow man instead
of saying his prayers. — Zephyrhils
Colonist.
Last week we reported the tiling of
Nick Daddow's name for supervisor
from District No. 3. and gave it out
that he filled as a republican. In
this latter we were in error, as Nick
is an all-wool-and-a-yard-wide kind of
a populist and would not thank us
for placing him as a G. O. P. He
tiled as a pop, is a pop and of course
is going to be left in the soup of de
feat like populism as a party, and re
publicans at the primary are going
to write W. O. Brown's name in, even
if he would not file, and elect him
! this fall in spite of any protest he
may make. Sherman county never
had a more faithful servant on the
county board, and with no disrespect
toNick. propose to continue said W.
O. just where lie is.
If the certificate of the secretary ol

prising if the official ballot at the
prfmary election will be six feet long
Each political party has a separate
ballot or sheet of paper. The certiti
: cate of the secretary of state con
i tains the names of the candidates of
all parties. A proof sheet show s that
it is seven and one-half feet long.
Each ballot must contain blanks
for the writing in of names and space

division and space for a short descrip

Congressman Kinkaid will have nc
opposition before the primaries on
the republieati ballot for re-nomina
tion. It would not have been of much
use, we opine, considering the hold
the judge lias upon the people of the
district.

ger. who died at Cortez, Colo., on the
loth of March, occurred from the M.
E. Church in this city last Sunday af
ternoon, Rev. Dr. Let per officiating,
the building being filled with the
friends of the deceased girl, wife and
mother, so well known in this city,
where as a girl she attended school,
where as slit merged into young woman
hood she was married and where
came to her two little angels of the
hearthstone.
Mrs. Conger had been suffering for
some time past with the dread dis
ease, tuberculosis, and less than a
year ago was taken by her husband
to the mountains near Donver in the
hopes of her recovery. Later return
ing to Loup City much improved in
health, she again weakened and only
a few short weeks since, with her
| husband, children, fatherand mother
| she went to Cortez in hopes of bene
' filing her lailing health, but in vain.
Mrs. Lela Conger was born at Mt.
Ayr, Ringgold county. Iowa. Nov. 18,
; 1888, and at the time of her death
i was aged 23 yeais. 3 months and 26

ago last fall and seven years later
wis married to RomeoS. Conger. She
joined the M. E. church when avoung
girl. She leaves, beside husband and
two little children, a father, mother,
one brother and two sisters.
The Northwestern, with a host of
friends, deeply sympathizes with the
bereaved husband and sorrowing rel
atives in this their time of sorrow.

Dowd and Charles Morley escaped
from Nebraska penitentiary at Lin
coln early in the afternoon, after
killing Warden James Delahunty. Dep
uty Charles Wagner and Usher A. G.
Heilman.
Friday-Having terrorized Mrs. J.
E. Dickman and her young son at

Lincoln at 3 o'clock in the morning.
Chief Police Hunger helps the milk
wagon in which they were ridi ig, out
of a snow drift, not knowing the es
caped convicts were inside with guns
pressed against the boy driver’s back.
The three men escaped into the rail
road yards north of Lincoln.
Saturday and Sunday—Arriving at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer
Hall, five miles northeast of Have
lock late Friday night, the three
murderers compel the couple to
keep them until 10:30 o'clock Sunday

with cords when they leave.
Monday—Sometime in the night
the three outlaws break into a hard
ware store at Murdock, thirty miles
northeast of Lincoln securing a change
of clothes, shotguns and ammunition.
They proceed on foot to South Bend,
on the Rock Island tracks, where
they steal a handcar and ride to
Meadow, where they threw the hand

Rockville School Notes
The graduating class of the Rock
ville highschool are Augusta Lorentz,
Louie Lorentz, Carl .lensen, R udolph
Anderson, and William Rasmussen.
The visitors for the week ending
March 8, were Mrs. Bickinson, Mrs.
Lay, Miss Cords, of Rockville. Mr.
Eastman, of Vermillion. S. B., and
the Misses Olson, of Loud City.
It is imperative that a school be
well discipined. A teacher may be
efficient as an instructor and organ
izer, but if she is weak as a discip
linarian she is rightly accounted a
failure.
A number of our high school
students have subscribed for “School
Agriculture" a bi-monthly paper es
pecially adapted for schools.
The work of teaching like all other
is attended with best results when
it is planned and systematized.
System is a great time saver, and
time is money in the school room.
The use of the rod is not necssary
the sign of the presence of the bad
boy; it is more likely to be the sign
of the presence of an untactful
teacher.
