Custer county's repulican mem-I
ber of the leg islature , A. H.
C pgey , of We\terville ! , was
,
among the first to sign the
' I pledge to support the winning
, candidate , Mockett , for speaker
I of the house. 'fhis should place
Mr. Copsey in a favorable posi-
. I . ! , tion with the speaker.
Ii ' . - _ _ .
As one of the candidates for
I speaker of the house lives on the
U. P. railroad and the other on
I the B. & M. , it affords thc
I . World-Hcrald an opportunity to
charge the successful candidate
, . .with being a railroad tool of the
B. & M. Such bosh is too old to
, be seriously considered by an in-
" el1igent people.
Populists and silver rcpubli.
\ cans have almost disappeared in
I Colorado , having practically no
I
representation in the legislature ,
save under mask as democrats.
The division there is now between -
tween the republican and the
democJ atic parties , and no other
distinctive party labels are used
in the senatorial contest.-Omaha
Bee.
f' The anti-trust bill which Senator -
;
. tor Hoar is preparing excites unusual -
. usual interest in the senate , but
F also because it is understood that
, he is working in close cooperation -
. tion with Attorney General Knox.
J. The precise features of the bill
are not disclosed , except that it
I \ is known that they will include
a most careful Yfitem for enforcing -
ing publicity of : orporations and
\
, trusts falling , within federal I
jurisdictiol1.- Omaha Bee.
. . - . -
. \Ya.hington : telegram states
Utat no nomination will be made
for United States district attorney -
ey for Nebraska until the senators -
tors agree on the person to be
recommended. Senator Dietrich
is for Harry Lindsay , chairman I
" of the republican state central
1 I
\ \ committee. Senator ! \lillard en- , ,
i dorses'V. S. Summers , the present -
ent incumbent. A third candidate -
date is W. F. Gurley of Omaha.
! f this is true , it is only neces-
f s.ary for Senator Millard to fail
to "agree" to prevent a new ap-
pointmcnt and permit Mr. Summers -
mers to hold over. A compromise -
ise is hardly in order. Speaking
without reference to any cla Jl1s
1 of the present district attorney ,
I it can very truthfully be said
that a large majority of working
I republicans of the state have en-
r dorsed Mr. Lindsay and that he
" has the good will of republicans
generally , so that if there is any-
I' thing in personal merit or the
principle of political reward he iJ
fairly entitled to the appoint-
ment-Kearney Hub.
In speaking of the present legislature -
islature , the Calla way Courier
. has the fl'llowing on Custer
r county representatives :
"In the
present legislature ,
Custer connty is represented by
I A. H. Copsey and J. J. Tooley in
I the house , and by M. L. Fries in
the senate. Mr. Copsey is a
farmer of Westen'ille , an intelligent -
gent , wide awake and progressive -
sive citizen. He has been an l
active repnblican worker every ,
since he was old enough to vote.
Mr. Toole ) ' is a school teacher ,
. ex-superintendent of Custer county -
ty schools. He is a . . .democrat
: 'and his usefulness will be somewhat -
what curtailed by being a memo
ber'of a hopeless minority. We
b licve that Mr. Tooley is broad.

min ed cnough , however , to cooperate -
operate with his republican colleagues -
leagues whcn the in.terests of I' '
Custer county rcquirc it. Mr. I
Tooley is intercsted in the COIll-
man schools. and if he should
father any mcasure that would
e beneficinl to the schools of ! ' \e-
brmlw ; , we arc sure Mr. Cop5ey : I
will he with him. With \Jr. I
Fries in thc scnate we arc assured -
ed of alt able , faithful and COIt-
scientious worker for ever ) ' measure -
ure which will benefit this dis-
trict. "

LOfO the Fllrm.
The young man who marries
an industrious and sensible girl ,
who is brae and true , and settles -
tles down to work , md save upon
a Custcr county farm , can succeed -
ceed morc frequently than those
who seek other occupations.
'l'he farmers in Custcr county
will be more and morc the respectable -
spectable clement of best socict.Y'
'fhere is no place where joy ,
freedom , and love are more realized -
ized than in the professions near
to nature. It will be a blcssing
to our country when the silly tide
that has set in toward our cities ,
is stopped , and the young men
and young girls take a braver
and higher yiew of life than dependence -
pendence and cxistence in ci tics.
Thcre is no social , educational ,
or religious culture in cities but
may be had on thc farm. Around
Sargent are farm homcs that are
an ornament to our country , and
where health , happiness and culture -
ture in evidencc.
, are always i .
Life on the farm need not bu.
drudgery. Too much of the assumed -
sumed drudgery is lack of love
and plan in the work. If some
of the young men on the farm
would follow the successful business -
ness man in the city to his weary
hours of accounting aft r the
day's work is over , perhaps he
would les5 dislike the evening
and morning chores. 'fhere is
yearning in nearly all men of
closed professions for the fresh
air , and singing birds , and freedom -
dom of the farm. Love the farm
and mal the farm ' .

gent Leader.

but had been prcpared by cullin-

which the waiters are due great
credit.
lr. Morris assumed the role
of toast master of 'the occasion
and he performed his duties ad-
mirably. Specches from nearl } '
everyone present were called
out and a happy 'vein of hUmor
and logic was characteristic of
them all , High compliment was
paid to honesty , il1tegity and

nothing to say of the Doctor at

wrote or dictated the article , if
he did , I can not , and if he did
notI care not. No family in this
county has ever been obliged to
stay in the cold while the house
was being fumigated. If the
doctor desires to save the tax

he put in a big bill for fumigating - '
