ft $tf- i THE BED CLOUD CHIEF. I t t NEBRASKA IS DIVIDED Fusion State Ticket Pulls Through Safely. TBtf LEGISLATURE GOES REPUBLICAN. The Vote Not Up to Expectations, and the Result Very Close Legislative Districts in Some Instances Only Give Hajorities of From Three to Ten Figures The Nebraska election (snow a part f history. That tbc result, as Indicat ed by tho unofficial figures, was a sur prise to tlio larger portion of our cltl sens in clearly evidenced by the trend f talk. Tlio f unionists bare succeeded Id electing their state ticket, the ma jorities ranging from two to thrco thousand. While tho figures given are hi complete and unofficial, they are nearly correct, and ofllctal figures will not change the result materially. Despite the fact that tho futlonlsts wcro successful in electing the state ticket, there Is a rein of regret running througli the rank and file that Senator Allen full aa a result of the loss of the legislature. Many have boon heard to declare that they would much rather tc state ticket had been lost than that Senator Allen should be left. Home, however tako the philosophical view Oiat inasmuch as the republicans will control tho national congress anyway, Senator Allen could do no good for tho cause of blinctallUm even If he had been returned. On the other hand, tho republicans are jubilant over thu capiuro of tho leg Mature, and profess to see In It a turn down for sliver. Republicans declare they have a ma jority on Joint ballot, and arc already discussing Senator Allen's successor. Sentiment is drifting toward Judge Hay ward, many Miylng that his elec tion would be n reward for lib splen did raco for tho governorship. Other republicans mentioned in connection with tho Rcnatorship are Judgo Field, 0. M. Lambcrtson, M. II. Rceio and I). E. Thompson of Lincoln, und John L. Webster of Omaha.

Tho bacteriology of tbo beard hoa not yet, so far as wo aro aware, been ex haustively studied; this might bo a naw world for ono of our young Alex anders of pathology to conquer. That It Is posslblo that dlscaso can be car ried in the manner suggested will hardly be denied, but we cannot say that wo think the danger so groat that doctors need cacrlflco their beards on the altar of hygiene. Most will think even the careful sterilization of tho beard on leaving a sick-room a counsel of perfection. If the scrupulous hy glenlst thinks such a precaution neces sary he should be consistent nnd Insist on doctors shaving their heads and oven their eyebrows. How would our professional sisters llko this? To live in the odor of antiseptic sanctity w thould, after dub purification, clothe ourselves In cotton wool, wrap our heads In sterilized gaute and go about like vellod prophets of Kborassan.

Devout cathol ics purchased the privilege of eating eggs during Lent, hence the custom first of making presents of farm house eggs on EsBtcr Sunday and afterward of Imitations In chocolnte or ougar. An other Indulgence of the raue kind has probably been noticed by English tour ists nt Rouen. Tho magnificent tower of tho cathedral called the Tour do Ueurre, or Butter tower, owes its origin to epicureanism on the ono hand and priestly ingenuity on the other. Tho Butter tower, like the Easter egg, com memorates n dispensation, having been built by tho sums paid for tho privi lege of eating butter in Lent. Londoa Dally News. Woman.
