W BURLEIGH, - Editor aud Publisher O D. Hknyan. - Superintendent Mechanical Dept Brer Beushauscn has undertaken the rather difficult task in his Times of reading out of the democratic party ail those who are supporting the bull moose candidate for president. He has already used his scalping knife on the devoted heads of Lee Arthur. Lou Rein and others, and proposes to secure the caput covering of other old-line war horses of the democratic party who, in spite of the dictum of Beush. iusist upon their right to vote as they please. Besides these he has his steam roller well oiled and heav ily freighted with Washingto news(?) letters and clipped unaccredited editorials from other periodicals, and runs roMffi mod tri r r nr m l all opposition to his orders as accredited head of the democratic party in Sherman coun ty We smile, when we think of his support of Aldrich for governor over Dahlman: of his support of Waite for representative over Lou Rein, the one man over all others who elected our editorial brother county clerk for two terms, and of his denial to the World-Herald that he was a county optionist. when as candidate for land commis sioner he wanted and needed the votes of the Dahlman democracy to secure his election, all of which the demo crat' he is reading out of the democratic party assure us he did at the time abovd stated. And while all these things obtain in democratic circles, republicans who are using their individual prerogatives in supporting either tl e hull moose or the elephant, smile over the existing harmony (?) in the local ranks of the unterrified. If tlie !*-<»p]e of Sherman country heard grow ling, groan ing. mutterings. rumblings and the earth undergoing a succession of shod adding the portentious coming of an earthquake the past forty-eight hours, their fears are allayed bp the know ledge that the seismic disturbances were caused by the going estray of our bundle of print paper this week, and having to print a day or two later by reason of duplicating our order for paper, causing the office force to shake the earth w ith the earnestness of its displeasure All serene now. heuever political matters within the state get settled on such a plane that we can know “where we are at," so to speak, we will place the presidential and state tickets at the head of our columns, and proceed to elect every blessed republican candidate from top to bottom. fIFTY YEARS IN PRISONS Old Eng; an Who Had Spant Tnree-Fc-'-rr.s of Hi# Life Be hind the Bara. Aa extraordinary spectacle was pre sented la the dock at the London ses sions the other day—a gray haired. Warded mu. C» years of age. » ho had swat three parts of bis life—half a century—in prison for thefts which to day would call forth a comparatively trifling sentence He was a laborer, earned George Lawrence, and was found -guilty” of being an habitual erimlnaL H- also pleaded guilty to Baring stolen a coat and other articles from an office in Chelsea. The judge, commenting on some of the man's sen tences—five years for stealing coats and three terms of tec years for steal ing forks, s bos. and an overcoat re ar** tlvr’y—said that for any one of the—* offenses he would nowadays probably only receive three months' imprisonment. It was an echo of the Brutal system of years ago. “In all I Bare served nearly 60 years in prist a." said the old convict, “and I don’t suppose the things 1 stole were worth A2# altogether. I hare never Bad a chance in my life.” The judge nt first passed sentence of three years’ petal servitude for the theft and five years' preventive detention, saying It was the minimum the law allowed in ■och a case, but later he decided that the ngense was one in which he could, haring record to the past treatment of the prisoner, pass a sentence of 12 wont!.#' hard labor, thus avoiding the #er:*moe of preventive detention. When W heard the altered sentence, ’ he old man. bringing his hand up to a military salute. exclaimed, in tones of rati!tide: “X will endeavor to malr« Ip my very last, sir.” AOVICE FOR MEN TRAVELERS Two Should Not Share Same Room In Foreign Lands as They Can Mere. "If you boys go abroad this sum mer.” said one broker to two others, “don't for goodness sake, share tbo •awe room, as you do when traveling over here foreigners don’t go in for that sort of thing "Jack and I shared the same room last year la London. We never no ticed that the help was smiling at us tin one morning when the chamber maid brougnt la Jack's shoes with the hoc water. I had forgotten to put my own shoes out. and the maid said to os. with a mischievous smile: “ ’Do you wear the same shoes, too. "Too sew. she thought it ss absurd for us to occupy the same room as it would kre been for us to wear the same shoe* "And it is absurd—come to think of it—for two men to occupy the same mow. It robs them of tbeir freedom. They must go to sleep simultaneously. They must get up simultaneously. “They’d be much happier in adjoin ing rooms. And they'd escape tons of ridicule - Tar this ha*H jpefl jhariSfi a room Is exclusively American, and abroad, when two Americans demand a double room for themselves, a smile of contemptuous amusement always flits over the face of the hotel clerk. “That smile Is hard for a free-born American to stand.” Discount for Rent. When the bachelor maid wrote a check for her rent she looked thought ful. “What is the matter?" asked her mother. "I am wondering why ten ants do not get a discount for cash in ten days. Merchants do. The usual rule in business is a discount of 5 per cent for cash in ten days. New York tenants, on the contrary, are asked to pay their rent thirty days in advance of the time it r«?a4!y is due and such a thing as a discount never has been heard of. so far as I know. Merchants do not pay for goods until they re ceive them, but we tenants are expect ed to pay for something we have not bad and may never have, if, for in stance. the premises should burn. I am not much of a political economist. I wonder If some of the presidential candidates co :!d explain the situation .to me—I mean an explanation that would really explain. He Had Experience. They were not an exclusive congre gation. nevertheless they showed signs of rebel!.c.n over the appointment of the new usher. “He Is an excellent young man. no doubt,” they said, “but he hasn't belonged to the church very long. and. besides, it doesn't seem likely that a young man who was a street car conductor until six months ago can be up on church etiquette.” But that was the very point that the trustee* urged in vindication of their judgment. "We voted him in because he had beei^ a conductor.” they said. "We rieeJ a man of that kind to deal with the end-seat hog. He is a great er nuisance in the church than in tha cars. Early in the service he plants himself at the aisle end of a free pewr and later comers who are ushered into that pew fall all over him in taking | their places. It takes a roan writh grit to make him move along. This for ! mer conductor has the grit and he has i tact gained from experience. That is i why we made him usher.” Prince of the Poeta. The French poet, Leon Dierx, was ! found lying dead upon his bed by his j landlady. The day before he accom panied Messrs. Henri de Regnier, Vic : tor Margueritte, and other men of let ters to the house where the poet Ste phane Mallarme used to live, and read a ; poem which he had written in honor I of the anniversary. He left the cafe j at 11, and as he passed the concierge i said: "Ah, well! I would be going to ; rest—if only I need not wake again!” The good woman scolded him for saying such things, and soon after his brother called and stayed with him till two in the morning. Next day be was discovered lifeless In his room, his last wish being thus fulfilled. Leon Dierx was 74 years old. In 1901, aft »r the death of Mallarme, the young >oets elected him their "Prince;” though be was not a candidate for that ‘ honor.—London Evening Standard. DISEASE ATTACKS HORSES Complaints Came in Rapidly Yesterday MAY BE FUNGUS POISONING Scores of Horses Lost in Nebraska During the Past Week—News From Various State Departments Complaints which came into the office of the state veterinarian yester day indicate that a heretofore un known disease is raging in central Ne braska at the presept time and has caused the death of scores of horses in the past week. The first com plaint came yesterday from Franklin and was followed in a short time by one from Hastings. Later another came in from Merna and shortly af terwards similar reports came from three or four other Nebraska towns in the central part of the state. State Veterinarian Bostrom i& out of the state at the present time 'but representatives of the department were put upon the cases at once. One of the assistant veterinarians went to Franklin and another prepared to investigate the disease in Custer county. From the meager details which have reached the state office it is understood that the disease re sembles fungus poisoning and is caused by the late summer growths of grasses and green feed. Horses which have been on dry feed all sum mer or within the past month have not been taken with the disease thus far and only those which have eaten green feed have succumbed to the trouble. The symptoms have been described as follows by a Merna veterinarian: The horse has an anxious look or ex pression. says he. and appears at the outset to suffer a loss of appetite. It is not inclined to move save when it has to and in ten or twelve hours after being attacked by the disorder it begins to stagger around and to seek to lean up against any convne ient thing which it can find. Its breathing is practically normal, its pulse is normal also, and its temper ature is from 103 to 105.3 degrees. As time goes on the animal gets more stupid and seeks to go through the fence, manger, or whatever lies in its path. It pays attention to nothing. Some case have come from the pas tures and others from the harness. The horses live from 48 to 60 hours usually and previous to death, the limbs of the animal tremble violent ly and continually. Similar trouble has been experi enced in Kansas in the past three or four days the Nebraska department only yesterday receiving word of the ravages of the disease from there. It is said by representatives of the Kan sas state veterinary department that the disease likely comes from the late summer grasses and green feeds and that it is a kind of a fungus growth thereon that proves fatal after it enters the stomach and intes tinesof the animal. One theory which was brought forward in Kansas, but which has been more or less disproved, is that it is a sleeping disease carried by the tsetse fly of South Africa. In all cases the horses have been known to take suddenly ill and finally go in to convulsions finally dying in great pain. 0 Early Selection of Seed Corn, Means Big Sav ing to State Omaha, Neb., Sept. I. The move ment for early selection and proper care of seed corn in Nebraska has been given official recognition through a proclamation issued by the Gover nor, setting aside September 30 to Oct. 5 as seed corn selection week. The early selection of seed corn will mean a big saving to the state in general and will obviate the necessity for sending for seed corn outside the state. The question of seed corn is an im portant one, says Prof. C. W. Pugsly, head of the Extension Department of the State Farm. There is little seed corn in the state, due to the lack of seed early this year. Nebras ka was ransacked from one end of the state to the other for %eed. Then the supply was w holly inadequate. Many farmers were forced to send outside the state and as a result, their stands are not as good as those who have used Nebraska grown corn. With the early selection and proper care Nebraska will have plenty of seed corn next year and purchasers will not be compelled to pay fancy prices for corn that is not so good as home grown varities. Early field selection insures seed that will grow. Well matured corn can be*picked early, dried in some convenient place, and then is in no danger of being frozen. Freezing will not hurt well cured corn. Early field selection insures high yielding seed and also insures the se lection of native seed, which is an important factor in producing high yield. Tests have proven that Ne braska grown seed will produce an average of 6.2 bushels mor? than seed imported from Iowa and Illinois. A bulletin, containing suggestions for the selection and care of seed corn, compiled by University officials, will ; be furnished free of cost on applica tion to the Bureau of Publicity of the Commercial Club of Omaha, or the Nebraska Experiment Statiqp. New High School Buiding Proposition At the annual meeting of school district No. 1, Loup City, it was de cided that the district submit to the voters of the district a proposition to vote bonds for the purchase of site and building a new school house and a committee was appointed to further the purpose, which committee pre sented to the board at their regular meeting of J uly 2t>. 1912. a petition of 220 names asking the board to take action, which was done and a special election called for the 27th of August, 1912. However on the following day it was discovered that the petitioners in the petition asked for more bonds than the 1911 valuation of taxable property in the district would allow under the law. and the board recon vened the evening of the27th of July, reconsidered and set aside its action calling the special election and con tinued the further consideration of the petition until a new petition should be presented or the 1912 valu ation of taxable property was com plete. At a regular meeting of the board on the 30th of August, the board being in doubt as to their authority to call a special election based upon a petition signed and pre sented and acted upon unaer tne re valuation and also of the opinion that $500 of the present outstanding bonds should be paid off before the board would be authorised to call a special election, adjourned the meet ing to the 13th of August that a new petition might be presented and the bonds paid off. There being some difference of opinion as to the neces sity of a new petition, the director wrote the State Auditor who is of the opinion that if the first petition made no reference to the 1911 valuation the board would be authorized to call the election based upon the original peti tion but that it would be necessary to have $500 of the outstanding bonds paid before doing so. as the valuation of taxable property in the district for 1912 is $320.0S0, outstanding bonds $2500, making a total of $32,500 bond ed indebtedness, which excetds the limit of ten per cent of the total val uation. The treasurer has made a call for $500 of the outstanding bonds for payment and if same are returned and paid by the 13tli. the proposition will then be again considered by the school board and the proposition in all likelihood submitted to the voters of the district.

Taylor the property occupied by Nel son Smith near the old mill site, and has Engle & Cook building a barn for him. All rural carriers will get 8100 more a year, commencing with October 1, 1912. This will help pay for some of that high priced hay. This will make 81100 a year for all routes over 24 miles long. Grover Huston, who has been at death’s door at the home of J. E. Roush for *.be past ten days, was able to be moved to Kearney, Neb., Wednesday morning, and it looks as if he wouki be a well man soon. The Huston brothers have scores of friends on Wiggle Creek who are glad to hear that Grover is getting better. Haying and threshing the order of the day. Corn drying up badly, but will yield a fair crop an an average, some he Ids good, some poor: will give 10 to 15 bushels on an average. Pas tures almost entirely dried up. Hay looks like there had been a frost, it is so dry. With a pretty good wheat yield, fair potato crop, corn and hay fair and twice as much alfalfa as last year, on a whole the present year is as good or better than last year. Trouser Crease 5'iiai-Stays. The permanent crease in trousers is made by many of our city tailors, Is somewhat favored just now. This Idea is probably well known, but as it may not be familiar to all I give a description of it here. The. trousers are first pressed dead Bat, and then the extreme edge of the crease is stitched down, so that it is impossible for them ever to be with out a perfectly straight line down the front.
