' ! The jXepublicans of the Fif- I , . ( teenth Senatorial Dhitrict of Ne. ' . braska are hereby called to meet : " in a convention in the city of Ord , in said District on Monda ) ' , September - tember 1st , 1902 at 10 o'clock A. 1\1. , for the purpose of placing in in nomination a candidate for State Senator and for the transaction - saction of any other business which may properly come before said convention. 1. A. R N AU , Chairman Senatorial Committee. I If there is any enthusiasm over the late fusion nomination for congress in this district it has not \ ' t made itself visible or ev- ident. 1'he convention itself was small in numbers , and the only earnestness of purpos shown was in the effort several . times repeated to nominate a man who woulttn't have the nOI11- ination and refused it e\'ery time it was passed to him. 'L'he convention - . vention gave Mr. Barry , whom it finally nominated , the marble heart until in the course of evcn ts . he was the only person left who wanted the nomination that had an ) ' sort of reputation or acquaintance - tance in the district.- Kearney Hub. . Attorney General Prout has given it as his opinion that Gov. Dietrich's veto of the bill passed last seseion of the legislature relating to constitutional am- i mendments did not effect the bill and has recommended the secretary of state to proceed to have the amendment submitted as ordered by the legislature. The bill in question is one which provides for amending the constitution - stitution by a majority of votes cast on a proposition rather than a majority of all votes cast. In his opinion s tting aside the Governor's veia , Attorney Gener- ' al'Pr ut quotes a Supreme Court . . . . - " " . decission on that pointuy Judge Maxwell that holds a similar bill passed years ago 1id not reo quire the Goveritors signature to become op ra ti ve. Had Ex-Senator Allen have said that \V. H. ' 1'hompsolI , the , fusion candidate , was better than ! his party , he would have been , nearer th truth , and it would. . . I not have been much to say elth-I er. But when he said. J. II. Mickey was better than his party , it was saying a great deal more than wiley ex-senator intended. l epublicans accept the assertion as a great compliment - ment , as we regard tb success of the principles of greater mom- nt than that of any mau. But when you corne to look upon Mickey as an old soldier , a pio- ne r homest ader , farmer , successful - ful business man and christian gentlemen we are nct surprised that his political opponents are compelled to aclmowledge his superiority as a man. W. H. ' 1'hompson , the fusion candidate denies being a rail road attorney and says that "he has never been at an ) ' time CI - gaged by an } ' railroad corporation - tion directl ) ' or indirectl } ' as attorney - torney or otherwise and never i received one cent of fees. " A. . man fifty years old who has been engaged exclusively in the practice - tice of law all his business life in the vicinity of rail roads must be below the average if he in all his practice has not been able to'get one case from a rail road corporation. We had given Mr. Thompson credit of being a better lawyer than he makes himself out to be. It is no discredit - credit to J. H , Mackey because he has never been employed by the railroad corporations as he is not a lawyer. It is still safe to vote for Mickey if you want a man f the people for governor. - - - - Jesse Gandy , who is now regarded - garded first in democratic known- ledge , is authority for the statement - ment that there are two Harring- ton's in the Sixth congressional district that had been regarded as good congressional timber for , the fusion nomination , and that the one who figured so conspicuously - uously in the Grand Island con- convention and succeeded in delivering - livering the pop partyover to the democrats is not the Harrington who was nomiuated by the democratic - ocratic convention at Kearu y and rejected by th pop wing. As Jess should be well posted , and no doubt is on the demo- pops or popodems of the district , we stand corrected. Now if we could have some pop vouch for there being two Jesse Gandy's , we would have no farther trouble iu solving the apparent inconsistency - tency of him being a pop today and a democrat tomorrow. I \Ve should 1ilC to have had the chance of supportiug for con- grcss so good a democrat s Judge \Vestover who really would have been a credit to the district as its representative in congress , but for reasons best known to himself he refused to stand for the nominaUon which changes the situation. ' ! 'he t\ominatiou of P. II. Barry-populist-pract- ially insures the election of Judge Kinlmid. Barry has been a life long republlcan and quit that party to secure an office. With democrats it is a choice between a good republican and a bad republican - publican and while a great many democrats will refuse to vote for either , those who do vote will no boubt decide for Judge Kinkaid who is a gentleman of abilt ) . and intellectual attainments who will not destroy his usefulness to the district by continuously denounc. ing men capable of materiall ) ' aiding the district as enemies of the people. .

Custer county Fair matters should attract attention from every live farmer within its bor- ders. Do you know what a good count } ' fair means to you ? It means a display of every kind of grass , grain , fruit and vegetable that grows in the countrj' and an exchange of ideas and methods to produce them to the best advau- tagc. It means a display of your stock and what kinds are most profitable to breed. Iu fact it is an educational system that no intelligent farmer will ov rlook. It is your business and for your interest. If you wlll int rest yourselvcs and bring in your products the Custer county Agricultural - cultural Society will takc them to the State Fair and make a creditable showing ; thus will Custer county once more come to the front and attempt to carrj' off the first prize as we ha\'e donc before. 'fhis will advertize onr.county far more than any other method that can be adopted - ted because it will bring in fnr- mers who ha\'e wealth \ to purchase - chase and settle among us which will increase property value to a great extent.Vhat is to be done ? Commence right now by taking up by the roots the different - erent Idnds of grasses and grains making them into nice little packages and bring them , to Broken Bow and place them in charge of Chas. Martin with whom I have made arrangements to store them away where they will be protected from the weather - er , sun and flies and kept in shape for display when the time comes. ' 1'0 secure these things will perhaps take you one or two dars : all told and will be the best investment of time ever spent. \Vont you pnt ) 'our shoulder to the wheel and let us make this the best display Custer count ) ' ever had ?

Agana , Island of Guam , May 2 , 1902.-H unI.ICAN-The sun is now a little north of the Zenith at noon , and the hottest of the year is at hand. 'rhe weather is quite dry and breezy.Ve do not notice the heat and even doubt that it can be as hot as last September when we came here. School is closed for one month , and my wife and I are taking all kinds of trips to recuperate - cuperate for the next term. I can't see but that we are as healthful as the natives and stand the climate just a well. When Americans have colds and coughs so do the natives. This is a busy day with the natives , . for a small kind of fish has just appeared b ) ' the millions inside the reefs. Nearly every Chamor- ro women was out in the Ocean long before di'ybieak with nets and came back at noon loaded with fish. These little fish come regularly each year at this time I and remain for three months. 'l'hey are about two inches long- and are fried and eaten without any cleaning , which is quite an object with these natives. On the .terrace between our house and kitchen we have started vines and flowers , as balsams , morning glories , horn flowers are in full bloom and remain so all the year. Frederica palms are most beautiful - ! ful and plenty everywhere. The . coffee plant is beautiful and in. . full bloom and looks not' very unlike - like the.choke cherry bush. In no place , can a home be more delightfully ornamented with flowers , ferns and shrubbery. I still think that this "man hated" island has no serious faults , that , the American Agriculturist can not O'fercome. Cotton , coffee , Cocoa nuts , oranges , lemons , bannanas , etc : will do well on the rocky land and sugar cane , corn , sweet potatoes , pumpkins - kins , squashes , melons , tobacco , etc. do well on the best land. These things will grow all the year. 'rhe dry season is not to dry to produce abundantly if the soil were properly tilled. Custer count ) . would grow 50 bushels of corn t the acre with such dry weather. I do not believe a colony of twenty good American farm rs would be lonesome here after they became acclimated. I think anyone could do quite a reasonable days work now , each , day. This must be a helthy place for chickens for every where we have gone we find them in the brush. How th rightful owner of these chickens is known is a puzzel. 'rhe Iguanas , rats and cats are the only cnemies to chickens , ' and these might easily b destroyed. Harmless snakes , toads , anteaters , quails , birds ought to be sent here to destroy insects. . The nts are our worst pesL 'rhcy are small but e\'ery- where. 'fhe other night I awoke with a sense of a raging "prick- ley heaL' " I was sure of an attack of fe\'er , but it was found to ue the festn'e ants. 'rhey had come not only to share my board , but also my bed. ' 1'hey instinctively - ively try to carry off anj'thing they like and after sampling me they seemed to be trying tb pull me out of bed.

It was strictly a political report and the strangeness - ness to me is that a party will so recklessly bump its head so willingly against facts as the democratic end of thp.t committee did. You can rely on what the republican members stated as the plain truth. No one going to the Phillippine Islands , or here , could possibly in so short a time have an oxagerated opinion favorable to either place. It requires - quires acclimation to understand what American possibilities are The fact is the republican party has a wonderful opportunity in the Orient and democrats know it and would rather see a national calamity than republican success. More patroitism and less party blindness is needed just now. I was at Asan a few days ago and re\'isited the Presidic , where Aguanaldo's brst men are , I talk. ed witlr them and tried hard to recognize Bryan's George Wash- ingtons and Adams and Jefferson among them , but it was a failure. I thought 1 could trace some - - - features of Capt. Staley in Mabini , Aganauldo's private secretary. Beyond this my fancy refused to act , but memory recalled - called the line , Pistance lends enchantments and Bryan is more poetic than practical. Nearly all the leaders of insurreclion in the Philipines are men who have gathered considerable wealth by defrauding the simple toilers. They want power and authority to continue this kind of life. They see an honesty and equalty before the law in America rule , which they fear. Right here It became necessary for Judge Pressey to show his American spiri t and his closest counselor of Spanish law was sent to jail. It will be hard for all these oriental people to comprehend the fact that very man is equally responsible before the law and that offic IS not a cloak for public corruption. Too muc of the Filipino's love of .in l - pendence is a love of power to do as he pleases. H. H. HIATT. . ' I . I I . LIVE AND' LET LIVE \ j I is my motto.
