Run j mng a newspaper in a country j town is not such a lucrative busi j ness that an editor would not wel- j j come the addition to his income j j that the salary of a postmaster af-! j fords, but most of them are fully j j aware that when they accept a > j position at the hands of the con | gressman they are tying their ; hands—and they perfer freedom | to even so mild a form of slavery | as this involves. It is the differ J euce between being under direct p obligations and being free. The | postmaster-editor knows that | every good word he would say for j the congressman would be inter | preted as paid matter, and that £ once his editorial intregrity is | open to justifiable suspicion his iu jj | fluence has departed. There is an *1 incongruity in being an editor and ! a postmaster that a nice round sal ary cannot bridge. IF AN EDI [ TOR WANTS TO BE REWARD-j i ED FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE BY ACCEPTING A POST I MASTERSHIP APPOINTMENT i HE OWES IT TO HIMSELF TO AN 1THDRAW FROM HIS OLD | JOB. An untrammeled press and a trammeled editor don't go very well together. Congressman Stephens has no objections to an editor being postmaster, but he (does object to be placed in a posi tion where he can be accused of buying editorial support by mak ing the appointment himself. . If the people of the editor's home I town vote that they want him as I postmaster. Mr. Stevens will be glad to name him. This is cer l tainly more honorable and sensible I than the other way.—Lincoln | Evening News. I Mother’s Appeal Touches Coroner l: - A rather touching incident took place at Lincoln a few days ago. j The News of that city relates it as I follows: Sentiment often enters into the disposition of a man's body after j he is dead. The appeal of a moth j er for the burial of her son deprived some medical school of the body of Frank Smith, killed i recently in the Burlington yards. | Smith died in a state far from his j home. He was in the act of butn ! ming his way across country from j Chicago to Denver. The parents I were communicated with hut were financially unable to claim the , body of the son. It was up to the coroner. Applicants from a medi cal school were ready to take the body and it was the supposition that they would be given first call. Just before final disposition of the body was made.Coroner Mathews received a last ap]>eal from the mother of the dead man. It was appeal euough. The heart of the coroner had melted. He put the case before the county commis si o n e r s It was appeal enough for them. It was a prayer from the mother-heart that the county do what it could for her boy. It was an expression of* graditude for what ever might be ' done. Her son had wandered far and had traveled over the way ward trail, but he was still her Itoy. The coroner and the com missioners were not long in con sultation over the letter. The medical school was deprived of its , game, and the remains of Frank Smith were given county burial. * In speaking of the incident, [ Coroner Matthews said: “Sym » pathy for the mother was alone | responsible. Some of the rest of us have mothers and we knew how that mother must have felt when she wrote the letter. Nothing ; else entered into it. Just a case > of sympathy.” i Every man will be glad that ! these fellow men did that - thought ; f of the mothers. At the present time it may not be amiss to ask: Could a coroner and commissioners composed of young women—and . older women not mothers—have ! done more ? ALONG ROUTE NO.

And Whereas, Sherman county’s court house is an old brick structure and in poor repair, and not fireproof, and wholly inadequate for the ser vices required and unsanitary in every particular, and the vaults are not fireproof and not of sufficient ca pacity to hold the records of the county, and many of the valuable records of the county affecting titles to real estate are in no way protected against fire, and some of the more val uable records are protected by reason of the board through necessity having hired bank vaults outside of the court house. The county jail is an old frame structure, and is not of sufficient strength to hold prisoners, and is un healthful and unfit for use. And Whereas, By reason of the aforesaid condition of the court house and jail of said county the record title to each tract of real estate in said county is in danger, also the court records and the records involving the estates of deceased persons are unsafe and liable to be destroyed by tire or otherwise, which might result in endless litigation and great expense. And the unsanitary condition of our jail is dangerous to the health of any unfortunates who may have to be in carcerated therein, by reason whereof the county may become liable in dam ages to those confined therein.
