77ie Nebraska State Senate
Tho following is from tho Lincoln
(Nob.) Stato Journal:
From tho returns filtering in dur
ing the last ton days it has been pos
sible to secure a completo list of sen
atorial candidates on both tho repub
lican and tho democratic tickets.
About one-third of them had no op
position within their party. In many
'Instances tho contest was exceeding
ly close. This was notably truo in
tho Tenth district, where C. G.
Barnes beat out Senator J. D. Hat
field by about thirty votes, in the
Twenty-second district, whore G. M.
Baldwin won over Spirk of Wilber
by a fow votes, in tho Twenty-ninth,
where J. P. Cordeal won handily over
Sonator John C. Gammil, who had
the Thirtieth district, where Walter
V. I-Ioagland won over W. A. Stewart
of Lexington by a fair majority, given
him in Lincoln county. Stewart lost
to L. L. Raymond by a narrow mar
gin two years ago.
Of tho thirty-three candidates for
senator in each party a poll of the
list discloses that twenty-six repub
licans are In favor of county option,
six are going to vote against it if
elected, and ono is non-committal in
his attitude. Of the thirty-threo
democrats twenty aro opposed to
county option, six havo not stated
their position, and seven aro in favor
of such a law. This makes tho can
didates an exact stand-off, if the non
committal candidates can bo listed as
opposed to county option. Tho can
didates in each party as a whole re
flect tho sentiment expressed in the
stato platforms.
In tho Second, Thirteenth, Twen
tieth and Twenty-sixth districts the
county option forces have captured
tho candidates of each party. In the
won over him two years ago, and inlFifth, Sixth, Eleventh and Seven
teenth districts the anti-county op
tionists have completo sway. In the
romaining twenty districts tho Issue
is squarely drawn, with the dry man
in each instance on . the republican
side.
Since county option and the liquor
fight is the chief issue around which.

Major General Frederick D. Grant,
the eldest son of President and Gen
eral U. S. Grant, was not long ago
a guest at a dinner given by certain
collego and school teachers. Tho
chairman rose to introduce him. He
had hunted up an old story about
tho Grant family, and was much
pleased with himself that he had
something so interesting to say.
"When Fred Grant was a boy at
West Point," he began, "his father,
tho famous general, wrote to tho
commandant inquiring how the Bon
was progressing.
" You need not worry,' the com
mandant wrote back. 'Your son is
getting better marks in everything
than ever you had in anything.' "
The gentleman was not quite so
self-satisfied when General Grant
rose to respond.
"That is a nerfeet.lv trim ntnrv
he said smilingly. "I remember the
incident perfectly, but there is a mis
take of one generation. I, and not
my famous father, "am the general
who wrote to the commandant, and
my son is the one whose father had
such poor marks. But never mind,
Mr. Chairman; it's all in the fam
ily." Christian Herald.
GENUINE GOOD AS COUNTERFEIT
The Connecticut delegation to a re
publican national convention at Chi
cago took alone a lot of badires. eanh
ornamented with a wooden nutmeg.
rne badges were very popular. The
delegates from other Btates thought
it a creat joke, to wear a erGniiino
Connecticut wooden nutmeg. f
Presently the man who had
charge of the badges came to Senator
Brandegee and said:
"Senator, we're in a' fix. All our
wooden nutmeg badges are gone and
there is still a great demand for
them. What can we do?"
"Get some .more."
"But there are no wooden nutmegs
in Chicago. We had to have theso
especially made for us back home."
"All right," directed the Napol
eonic Brandegee; "go down to-a gro
cery store and buy four or five hun
dred real nutmegs and stick them on
the badges. They'll never know the
difference."
And they didn't. Saturday Even
ing Post.
SOHURZ WAS SURE OF HIM
Carl Schurz was dinincr ono nlzht
with a man who had written a book
or poems, so called, and who was
pleased with himself.
The poet was discoursing on the
time-worn topic of politics and of
the men who take office.
"I consider politics and politicians
beneath my notice," he said. "I do
not care for office. I wouldn't be "a
senator or cabinet officer, and I doubt
if I could be tempted by the offer of
the presidency. For the matter of
that, I would rather be known as
a third-rate poet than as a first rate
statesman."
"Well, aren't you?" Schurz shout-,
ed at him. Saturday Evening Post.
PERSUASIVE RECRUITING
The captain of the boys' brigade
was anxious to add recruits to his
company. "Now, you lads," he re
marked to the youngsters already un
der his command; "I want each of
you to bring in two new members."
There were several ready promises,
but one little lad appeared to hesi
tate. "What's your difficulty?"
asked the captain. "Please, sir,"
came the timid resnonae. "there's
only one boy down our street that I
