ALMOST FORGOTTEN.
What's tlto reason Kcd Cloud don't
go after one of tlioso new state normal
schools?
A meeting will lio called in llio near
future for tint purpose of discussing
tho opera house proposition. Watch
lor tho date.
A'kbill has boon intrntiucctl in tho
state legislature authorizing nn appro
priation of 815,000 for a Nebraska ex
hlbit at tho Buffalo exposition.
In tho second ibsuo of tho Commoner
tho editor bolioves that four years is
long enough for an vonn to be president,
how ovor, his "opinion is not based on
otual oxporionco with that high po
flltion, but from oxporionco in trying
.to got it.

Mrs. Carrio Nation's iioancial man
ager," who was to steer a lecturo
courso on shares for tho woman of
hatchet fame, figured up tho receipts
of an ovonlng'a locturo in Iowa and im
mediately cancelled his engagement
and put back for his Topoka home
while Uo had monoy enough left. As u
financial investment tin tho gate re
ceipt plan Carrio is an utter failure
At a dollar-n-plato dlnnir given at
Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday,
uy the Jefferson, .Inckson nnd Lin
coln longtte in honor of Abraham Lin
coln's birthday, W.J. Hryan was in
troduced by the toastmaster as follows:
"The last titno I had tho pleasure of
introducing Mr Hrynn to you I Intro
.duced him as tho next president of tho
United Slates. I again introduco him
to you as I did then." When did tho
democrats conclude to make his candi
dacy perpetual, or until ho should bo
elected?
The bill which was recently enacted
by tho state legislature authorizing
tho construction and maintenance of
two moro normal schools in tho state
-was undoubtedly a move that will bo
sanctioned by a majority of tho people
of tho state. Hut those two inslltu
tions should bo located whero thoy
will do tho most good and bo tho most
accessible to tho largo number who
wish to tako advantngo of them. An
other thing to bo taken into consider
ation is that thoy should bo located in
towns of sufnoiont sizo to accoramo
dato them. Locating a normal school
in a towu of less than oho thousand
population should not bo thought of.
"Wo would liko to see ono of theso
chools located in Ked Cloud, and wo
bollevo that no better location could bo
found in the south central part of tho
state. Why not make a movo to so
euro ono of those institutions?
Incident! ol Every Day Life Which Very
Few People Stop to Think About on
Accouut of Their Littleness.
What a lot of prevaricators there ut o
i i this old world. And somo of them
provarlcalo with such easo and graco
that tho general public learn to think
that they tiro tho most truthful of men.
Now from tho reading of a section
of our Ditto Hill correspondence of last
week, in which it described the troubles
of Hugh McCluro of that place, nnd
his heartrending mishap witlt a runa
way hot so, would anybody believe it
was a pure piece of prevarication made
out of whole cloth? Now wo would
have been willing to but a last year's
almanac or tho chance that Mum Hill
will go prohibition this year, that the
event absolutely happened. How one's
fond beliefs are suddenly dashed to
atoms. On Tuesday wo received a let
ter at the postolllct!, nnd immediately
visions of a new subscription with a
postofllcu money order attached or an
old subscriber who wished to pay up
for four or live years back anil pay a
year in ndvance, were in our thoughts.
On getting at the contents our fund
hopes were shattered. Tho communi
cation was from Mr. H. M. McCluro
ono of tho substantial implement dealers
of that city, and stated that tho item
was false from beginning to ond and
kindly asked us to correct it. Wo do
this with pleasure Our correspondent
is either a member in good standing of
the Ancient Ordor of Bald Headed Pre
varicators or elso ho was haviug a llttlo
innocent fun at Mr. McClure's oxponse.
Our advico to him would bo to ob
serve Washington's birthday and tako
advico from tho llttlo hatchet episode.
But talking about prevaricators, lied
Cloud has the ouliest only ono, (somo
peoplo como out plain and say the big
gesl liar.) Wo wont tell you tho namo
as most peoplo sometime during their
slay hero have come under tho ban of
his virulent prevarications. Even tho
little birds are next and won't slug in
his back yard. ror several months
this paper has been made a victim of
his prevarications. Strangci h liuvo
been cautioned to not enter tho tin
Hanctilied portals of the ollicc and some
,vlio havu listened to the oily tongued
stories had almost comu to the belief
that a Gila monster was hidden within.
Hut wo caught on nnd invited somo
of them to jnter and they departed
without having received the sling of a
cobra do capello. This prevaricator
still lives and hero is another case
whore Carrio and her little hatchet
might got in a winning. Wo do not
wish to seo tho projectors of our now
brick building improvement put to any
unnecessary troublo or expense but
somo kind of temporary sidewalk
should bo laid on tho north and west
of theso lots. Tho business along this
portion of tho street has beon consider
ably impaired by tho snow banks nnd
mud. Elmer Ross had so much fuu
out of the pig nice of wook before Inst
that ho has concluded to have ono of
his own. Ho will soon issue a chal
lenge to all tho hoavyweigots in tho
city. Ho is training for tho event
Sewing as n business is nn exacting nnd
exhausting occupation. Long hours, fine
work, poor light, unhealthy atmosphere
these are only some of tho things
which fret the nerves nnd hurt the gen
eral health. Often there is a diseased
condition of the womanly organism
which causes backnche or headache and
the working of the sewing machine
under such conditions is akin to torture.

i That T Aiuih
Hangs On
Tho wrong uso to which many peo
nlo nut two riclil words that nro fro
qttontly used in connection with tho
legislature impels us to turn school
ma'am, for a moment, l'lireo quarters
of the peoplo use tho word bill and act
as though they meant ono aud tho
same thing in legislative affairs. Not
no. A bill is a proposed act. a form or
-draft of a law presented to thu legis
lature for onactmenl. An act, on tho
other hand, is a bill that has been on
acUd into law. Until it has passed it
continuos to bo a bill. Whilo a meas
ure is ponding it ennnot correctly bo
oallod an act. Aftor it has boon enact
ed into legislation it can not correctly
be called a bill. A bill represents
something projected; an act something
.accomplished. This is a distinction
-with a difference, but mighty few poo
plo either know or respect tho differ
ence. Ex.
It is qulto evident, from tho facts so
far found out, that tho populist ofllclals
left the asylum for tho chronic insano
. iLiutini-s with thu tirui belief that
they would novor again get a chance to
gel their lingers in the state treasury.
During tho month of December, 1000,
the fusion ofllctals spent 80,000 for gar
monts for the 420 malo patients of tho
asvlunt. Tho contract was given to a
fellow who had a "pull" and ho lost no
time in tilling It. As a rosulttho insti
tution is now overstocked with malo
garments. Tho officials did not stop at
this but bought 4,000 pounds of butter.
Ol tho 4.000 pounds of butter bought
there is very llttlo of it that is lit to
eat, and some of tho stuff is spollod
hihI ennnot bo used at all Had overy
pound of the hutter.been good it would
have been enough to run the Institu
tion for more than ton weeks. This
fti..o was givonto a mm with a "pull"
aud goes to strengtneu tho suspicion
that the wholo thing wa9 a purely po
litical doal.

Special 10 days opening sale of the New Goods.
Our progressive store wins the bulk of the local dry goods business.
Twentieth Gentry Retailing finds Its Best Expressions Here.
Sounds a little bit conceited perhaps for us to say so, but we believe it thoroughly.
We are always aiming to make this a better and more satisfactory trading place
for the people of this community, and we are glad to say we arc succeeding. We
know that our store and our business methods are appreciated. Our large patron-
overy day and thinks ho will bo in fine
coidilion In two or three weeks. Ho
iscoineto try a"skin"Ramo on tho
fellows who go in with him. Ho is
learning his pig to stop and bo petted
when he sings a short solo. Ono of tho
other fellows is on and is also teaching
a pig for tho occasion. Ho says ho will
not do a thing to Klmer only substitute
his pig for the one which likes a rasp
ing song A. C. Hostiier will actus
referee and starter. licforo long a
meeting will be called to make at"
ratmements for the formation of a
stock company to build a ground floor
opera ltoui.ii. During the time inter
vening stand up for Uetl Cloud nnd
talk up tho project. Who will bo the
next mayor? That's tho question. As
far as wo are concerned it will be tho
samo man. Aside from his general
good qualifications his genial hospi
tality to strangers causes them to say
good things about our town in distant
lands. A case of this kind happened
this week when "a worn and weary
traveler in tattered garments clad"
made him a call (unofficial of course)
in tho early forenoon George's bos-
pitnltty was at onco in evidence nnd
ho at onco proceeded to divide up his
morning meal, providing, of courso,
tho visitor would exhibit tho manner
in which a snow plow worked. This
was agreeable, and tho stranger "tilled
up." lint alas, aftor tho. visitor had
got roady to start tho snow plow in op
eration, Georgo was called to attend
to other business. The snow plow not
caring to "miss tho train" dtparted,
leaving tho snow plow (a scoop shovel)
unmolested where tho worthy mayor
told him ho would find it. Now the
next time George contracts for the ser
vices ho will ordor tho city marshal to
see that the darned thing works. Hut
that wasn't the worst of i. In his hur
ry to catch tho train tho motive power
of tho snow plow wont through tho
barn aud left tho doors open, and
Gtorge also being lit a hurry to catch
the train to go to thu Superior chicken
show forgot to look and seo that ev
ery! hinc was secure. As a result the
cow got out and had a high old time.
An inventory later on showed t at the
mayor was out half a breakfast, two
nice pcacli trees destroyed by tho cow,
and two-bits paid to a fellow by his
wife for catching tho cow. Talk about
philantrophy and sociability. Wo want
it disinctly understood wo are for Geo.'
J. Warren for mayor again.
