POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Tho candidates for tbo governor's
chair spring up ns mushrooms, nnd,
Indeed, somo of thorn fade awny ns
quickly. Tno contest has already gen
erated considerable beat, enough to
causo a few personal tlings of mud,
but wo notice that tho following of J.
P. A. Black seems to bo steadily multi
plying, taking on tbo aspect of a tri
umphal procossion. Kvidontly he is
not of tho mushroom variety. River
ton Review.
Among tbo many candidates for
favor before tho coming conventions
this tall, who wero in Lincoln yestor
day, J. P. A. Black ot Bloomington w is
qulto prominent. Mr. Black is a suc
cessful banker, a successful lawyer and
n successful farmer. If he can but add
to his list success as a politician he will
bo a happy man. He wnnts to bo gov
ornor. Reports from the Fifth district
indicate that Mr. Black will have n big
following from that section when the
jtato convention meets in this city
Juuc 19. As tho raco is a freofor-nll
his chances for ultimate nomination
uro far from hopeless. Lincoln News.
W. 11. Thompson of Grand Island is
said to havo refused to be a candidato
for the nomination for governor on tho
fusion lickot, giving as his reason for
tho refusal that, when tho party was in
power and to be nominated almost
moant election, then the party had no
uso for him, but now, when thoro ii no
tiopo, thoy would bo glad to nominato
him. What do you suppose is wrong
with such reformers! Is it that their
belief in reform only extends as far as
oflicc, or did thoy bolievo iu what they
professed!

Bryan, Moses and the Promised Land.
From tbo St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Iuaspocoh at Birminghau, Ala., a
few days ago Mr. Bryan likened him
solf to Aaron, who "assisted Mosos in
leading tho children out of the wilder
ness." Mr. Bryan said ho was "per
fectly willing to lot somo other person
take tho part of Moses." As tho orator
quotes Soripturo often in his speeches
and lectures, wo called his attention to
tho need of accuracy. It was Joshu.i
who led tho children into tho promised
land after tho era ot Mosos and Aaron,
neither of whom over sot foot upon it
or led their brethren thither. We said
Moses "nover saw tho promised land."
A cortespondout refers to tho last
chapter of Deuteronomy in proof that
Mosts visually beheld tho blissful re
gion, but it was under circumstances
tint emphasizo the point made against
Mr. Bryan that ho ought to bo looking
lev a Joshua instead of a Moses.

xxxlv, it will bo observed that .Moses
went to the lop of 1'isgah, whoro tho
Lord showed him nil the land of (ill.
cad, unto Dun, with other land", in.
chiding Jitdnh, unto tho utmost sea,
nnd tho plain of tho valley of Jeiicho
unto '.onr. And the Lord said unto
Moses, as teeoidod in tho fourth verso
"This is the land, which I swaro unto
Abiaham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob,
saying, I will give it unto tny seed; I
h&vti caused theo to see it with thine
oyos, but thou shalt not go over
thither." In viewing this broad pop
spoctlvo of many lands Moses was ad
monished that ho should nover go to
tho promised region, though his soed
should enjoy it. Moses died at tho ago
of 120, remaining in tho land of Moab
to the last. Unloss Mr. Hryan is talk
ing for posterity ho wants a party
Joshua instead of n Moses; and if ho
puts it on this ground there will bo a
promised land but no Democratic
party.
Experiment in Sugar Beet RaUine.
Tho sugar beet oxporimonts reported
In bulletin No. 73 wore conducted dur
ing tho soason of 1001, upon tho farm
of tho Standard Cattlo Company, at
Ames, Dodgo county, Nebraska. Those
oxporimonts included tests of variotles,
tests of fortllizors, distanco of plant
ing, time of planting, mothods of cul
tivation, and tho treatment of sugar
beet diseases.
A test of thirty-sovon variotics under
similar conditions showed a wido vari
ation in tho total amount of sugar pro
duced por ac-o, tho Original Kloin
Wanzlobonor occupying first placo.
A comparison of light and heavy
soils for sugar boet production showod
a oonsidorably higher sugar content
in tho beets grown upon tho heavy
oil.
Slight increases in tho yield, sugar
content, and purity of boots wero pro
duced by tho uso of commercial for
tllizors, but their uso did not seem to
bo prolitablo upon tho land whoro tho
tests wero mado. Of tho different
classes of fertilizers used tho phos
phates gavo tho best results.
A comparison of tho different depths
of cultivating suear beets wns in favor
of about four to hvo inches as com
pared with six-inch or two to three
inch cultivation.
Tho most satisfactory distanco of
plantirg was found to bo 18 inches bo
tweon rows and 8 inches between
plants in tho tows.
A comparison of tho sugar content
of boots grown among weeds and on
clean ground showed that tho presence
of weods may vory materially affect
tho quality of tho beets.
Tho fresh growth of tho beets in
duced by the wet weather during Sop
tomber was found to result in a rapid
reduction of tho percentage of sugar
content of tho beets, but tho results of
extonsivo determinations indicate that
unloss tho fresh growth is accompa
nied by buds upon tho crowns thoro
seems to bo no real loss of sugar tho
boots aoom to increase in size and
weight while tho sugar remains at a
standstill.

with "Bordeaux niixturo"soemed to bo
of somo value as a preventive of "leaf

value upon diseased leaves.
Tho season's experience showed to a
remarkable oxtent the drouth-resistant
qualities of sugar boots, in which re
spect thoy wero found to bo superior

Tho annual A. O. V W. meeting Hint
had been postponed on account of the

morning.
Tho Workmen and Degree of Honor
turned out splendidly and filled the
wliole middlv suction of tho main audi
torium, while tho side feats and lec
ture loom weto occupied by tho friends
and visitors. Tho service began with
tho Doxology. sung by tho nudienco
whllo standirg, followed by a briof in
vocation by tho minister of the church
and speaker of tho day, T. A. Mero
dith. Tho next number was an appropri
ate solection by tho choir, followed by
tho rending of tho Scripturo lesson,
Luke, 10: '25, 37. Tho choir sang an.
othor very pretty number and n spe
cial prayer for Divino favor was then
offered by the spenkcr. A special song,
"Uo Xo Into All tho World," with a
bass obligato solo, was then suns bv
tho Workmnn Male Quartet, followed
by a vory pretty selection.
Tho "Good Samaritau" was tho main
thought of tho address. Tho text was
Luko 10- 30, 37. Tho speaker doalt
with the work of tho fraternal orders
and stated that the work that is being
dono by thorn today was dono by tho
Church of Christ when it began, and
tho only excuse for tho oxistenco of tho
ordors today was tho negligence of the
church, "Lot tho church come back
to tho position the Lord intended her
to occupy and tho orders would bo ah-
aorbed by tho church, and the church
would bo doing again her 'first
works.' "

Blood,
We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con
tinual How of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved ; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take Scott's Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil. It sets the
whole body going again man
woman and child.
If you hare not tried it, send for free sample,
JU agreeable taste will surprise you.
