Mechanical Department Gee whiz! but our article of week before last must have musssed up the usually serene nature of Brer. Beush, of the Times, the demo boss, we came near saying brains, of . this county, what a lapsus lingue that would have been? In our diatribe, we avoided personal invective, merely stating a few homely truths, and received last week from him a bucketful of abuse and naughty names, with no de nial of said facts. However, he graciously dismissed us from responsibility as author and fixed the disgrace upon some democrat whom he is sure he knows. Thanks, aw fully. And now we are going to acknowledge that we did not write it; really we didn’t; we merely went to the case and set it up, the product of our gray matter, which our brother insists is not of sufficient quality; hence taking the burden of responsibility from off any democrat who might incur the wrath of our brother otherwie. And we will never put the responsibility for his editorial utteran ces upon the shoulders of any one else, as they could be worshiped without offending Deity, there being nothing like them on earth, in the heavens above or the water un derneath, and we firmly absolve all others, save our be loved brother, from such wondeful constsuction. Nor are we going to belittle our big brained brother by calling him other than a real nice boy, nor refuse to allow him to ex ercise the seat of his intellect by sliding down our cellar door. We are going to be good to him, whether he tells the truth or not,—the latter sure in regard to our vote and support of Waite,—and even allow him to make faces and call us names without getting mad. But really, Cholly, it’s the truth that hurts worst, eh? N-n-now don’t get mad. The Bull Moosers of the Big Sixth in mass convention at Kearney last Saturday turned down the bid of M. P. Kinkaid for their endorsement for re-election to congress and named Frank L. Armstrong of Elm Creek as theii i candidate. Armstrong used to be in the state legislature, but is a rather weak sister for so important a place a con gressman from the Big Sixth. However, there is not the remotest chance of his nomination being otherwise than empty honors. Its the democratic donkey that is now trying to kick the stuffing out of the bull moose in this state. One of the unterrified leaders of the old donk is today trying to per suade Secretary of State Wait that the moose party has no right on the official ballot. We are guessing in ad vance that the ancient animal will prove itself entitled to its old and very suggestive title in its efforts. Will some oue who is gifted with supernatural powers please state where the Lincoln State Journal stands in this political campaign? We confess from a daily reading of the usually “Old Reliable” that we can not tell whether it is riding the elephant trying to make up with the moose or drive them both tandem. — Secretary of State Wait last Saturday officially recog nized the Moosers of the state for a place on the official ballot at this fall’s eletion. The Moosers have endorsed the entire republican statte Ticket. Governor Aldrich is having a strenuous time trying to “smoke out” Morehead. Can’t do it, governor. Now Living In Quiet. Mme. Steinhell, who had such a stormy lime on her sensational trial and acquittal, is now living in a rural retreat near London with her daugh ter and son-in-law, who is an Italian artist. In the quiet of her retreat she has written the story of her life, which has just been published. Nature's Hints to Inventors. The view has been advanced in more than one quarter that during the next two or three centuries invention will probably be in the direction of imitating the wonderful economy and the simple, direct methods of nature. An instance in point is the electric cel. Its electric organ is in no sense a storage battery, but a contrivance by which electric energy, is liberated at the moment when it is required. At rest the organ shows so small an elec tric force that a good galvanometer is needed to detect it, but a sudden nervous impulse from the eel’s spinal cord raises a potential of many volts with very little heat and so small an expenditure of matter as to defy the most expert chemist to weigh it Fireflies, glow-worms, and many deep sea fishes produce light without heat at a cost which would make a match an extravagant outlay.—Harper's Weekly. Every Man to His Own Specialty. When there is no politics in the ail a Kansas City (Kan.) negro who gen erally responds to the stage name ol “Big Eye,” earns a livelihood by help ing the white folks “clean house.’’ On a recent occasion “Big Eye’’ contract ed to assist a local matron with the spring cleaning anil the first task as signed to him was to pick up a heat ing stove and carry It to the wood shed. Carrying stoves is not in “Big Eye’s” line. He likes work, mark you, but he is not crazy about it. Stoves are heavy. “Big Eye” hesitated for a moment, then scored. “Lady,” he said, “I forgot to tell you that I’se a believer in Union prin ciples. I ain’t allowed to touch that stove. I’m a carpet beater, not a stove lifter.” One Exception. A certain cruel landlord, by name Lord Skinner, had a very ugly, de formed nose. He was a great old “boaster,” and waa so conceited as to have placarded on his gate that “men and money could do anything.” A poor Irishman, happening to pass by one day, and seeing the writing, wrote Just beneath It in chalk: “But all the money from Cork to Naas wouldn’t put a beautiful nose on old Skinner’s face.” Needless to say, the placard waa I_I Starr for State Senator At the primaries held this spring. Mr. T. Hermanson of Kearney, the well known court reporter for this ju dicial district, received the nomina tion as republican candidate for state senator from this district, comprising the counties of Sherman, Butfalo and Kearney. Later, business conditions and his removal to the Pacific Coast caused him to cancel his candidacy. Later, in looking over the republican ranks in the district for a suitable candidate, and the further fact being patent that Shermtn county was en titled. by precedent of former years, . to said nomination, which had no' been followed this year, because of ' the lack of an avowed candidate, the republicans of Sherman county in regular convention assembled, having ascertained that our talented young townsman and attorney, Robert P. Star, would accept the nomination, if tendered him by the republicans of the district, unanimously named him as their choice to fill the vacancy and so instructed our county chairman to vote and state their preference at the meeting of the republican com mittee for this 22nd senatorial dis trict when they should meet to select a successor to Mr. Herman sod. un one oui ot tins month, in Grand Island as the most convenient point, the committee met and conced ed the rights of Sherman county by selecting Mr. Starr for the coveted honor. The above is a brief history of the republican senatorial situation in this district. Mr. Starr needs no introduction at our hands. Asa law yer he stands with the foremost mem bers of the bar in the district. In point of intellect, in knowledge of law, in oratory, in current events, in public matters of moment, in fact in all questions of the hour he is, to use a latter-day phrase, there with the goods. Mr. Starr has a law practice which is not locally confined and ex tends far beyond the bar of the coun ty and district. He has energy, push and vitality combined with never-fail qualities which will make matters move in the few weeks left of the campaign, and if he wins will place the senator from Sherman among the leaders in the upper house at the state capital this winter. In another place in these columns will be found a call for a mass con vention of our friends of the Bull Moose variety. They have no organ prelude of their own and we willingly set aside space for their party an nouncement. There's a whole lot of the boys, and they are entitled to make their wants known, which only can be satisfactorily done aDd all reached through our columns. Additional Local Tlios.

Elmer Youx<wjuest. '♦FOCiiiMa CALLED LOST ART Annapolis Not What It Used to Naval Officer Declares, but He Is Wrong, Let us for a moment turn from the turmoil of politics and contemplate the classic precincts of Annapolis. In 1 that old town, famous for its state- | house and its crabs, is situated the in- , stitution which supplies us with our , gold braided officers of the navy. At . Annapolis, however, they are mere f lads, not altogether in love with their i studies, but fondly, fondly loving all i the girls. 1 And yet, here comes an old curmud- ( geon who says that spooning at An napolis is not what It used to be. He ' grimly asserts that the new and im- < posing granite buildings have taken the romance out of the place and that flirting is not the sweet and tender 1 thing of long ago. Wherefore, he ut ters lo^d lamentations and sighs for £ the days of old. s Time has wrought changes, sure r enough, but it is in the old naval offl- a cer and not in the romantic eorners I of the Naval academy. These still af- I ford delicious places in which to spoon, J and the activities of onr future adml- * iwls bear witness to the fact.
