Senator Hanna is reported quite sick with typhoid fever , but = bis condition is not yet serious. , . . Deputy A ttorney General I Noris Brown is a candidate for 11ttorney general with flattering respect of securing the nomina- : Ion without opposition. The unanimous endorsement of Congressman Burkett by the republican - publican state convention now : appears very probable. Should 'this happen the state legislature 'will be relieved of a responsibility that in the past has resulted so 'unsatisfactory to many. . . . . - . A hundred million dollar fire occurred in Baltimore the first of ' he week. The fire broke out a : few minutes before 12 o'clock unday morning in the wholesale 'house of Jol n E. Hurst & Co. ' : The fire is said to be worse than 'the Chicago fire in 1871 wbich was the worst in the Uunited States. E. Royse , Secretary of the State Banking board has been . frequently tpentioned by the sta te papers as a dcsireable candidate - didate for Commissioner of Public Lands and Buildings. 'Should Mr. ROY5 e desire to be a . Candidate he is assured that he . would have the unanimous support - port of old Custer. But we are creditably informed he will not be a candidate. "It IS gen rally nd rstood that Mr. Schneider will not be a candidate - didate for national republican committeeman from Nebraska this year , which malte5 it necessary - I sary for the party to look out for his successor. In this connection , the RnpUDLJCAN ; would suggest the consideration of Chas. H. Merrill of Lincoln. Mr. Merrill has long been a faithful wheel horse in the party and we would .c pleased to see him elected to ' # 11 this important position. . , . - The renomination of Peter .Mortesen of Ord for state treas- rer , is already practically set- tle'd in the minds uf the public. Mr. Mortesen has developed special ability in investing the . state money so the sbte receives 'the interest for the accumulated money , instead of the brokers. Instead of leaving the money in 'state ' depositories 'Yhen there is 'a good bond for sale he ara ws t .e money and buys it for the 'state , thus making a great sav- .lng for the state every year. .A.nother saving he has instituted in buying 3tate warrants and . thus has the interest accrue to the state instead of some banker or broker. ; The RnpunLIcAN aclmowledges the receipt of a copy of Congressman - man Kinkaids bill which se'eks to mend the Homestead law so as t'o permit of filing on 640 acres as . a homestead in the . sand hill . - . . . . , F.

We believe - lieve it is the best method possible - ! ' land. It ' , ble to so disposc'uf that will not only make it possible fr I men of small means to cngage 111 stock ratsing and thus utf1i e all ' that country but it will assure a , settlcr for every scction and some day aU tbc sand hill country will be deeded and become a source of revenue for the state in the way of taxes. The population of this barren country will not only' increase - crease thc cattle and horses of . the state but it will create a. greater demand for the products of the farm in the farming com- munities. We hope it may speedily become a law. Governor Mic1ey expresses himself as being strongly in favor of Congressman Kinkaid's bill to aUow homesteaders to file upon 640 acres of land , instead of 160 acres , provided the land filed upon - on is wholly unfit , for cultivation. Governor Mickey is strongly of the opinion that the amount now allowed to a homesteader is entirely - tirely inadequate for grazing purposes - poses and that most of the frauds which have been practiced , and a great many of the quarrels between - tween ranchers and gc\Vernment inspectors over the range fences , have been the outgrowth of the ystel1 } of allowing ah insufficient amount of land to a rancher. He could not fence his little quarter section and make a comfortable living off itso if he fences at all , he is almost sure to 'enclose hundreds - dreds of acres of public domain , without legal warrant for so doing - ing and with no excuse excepting that the fence harms neither the government nor any individual. The Farmers' institute for the winter will be held February 22nd and 23rd. It is time that the pcople began preparations for making this meeting a gre t success. Interest and attendance will be amply repaid by the value to be gained. The people should make of the institute a large social gathering of agricultural people for the discussion of- subjects - jects that are of valne to them , and for the' promotion of all their interests. It should become , a permanent feature of the educational - tional aide of the community. The value of the ImeetingR will depend on the interest of the people of this community. They can make of it what they will-a success or a failure. The state manaR'ement may perform its part wel , and the speakers may give valuable addresses , but unless - less the people attend the meetings - ings , all the work will have been done in vain. The sta e is putting - ing considerable money into this institute. The time of such men as come here to address the people is valuable. There must be a full honse at every meeting if the community is to receiv the value that it should from the meeting. The progressive farmers - ! ers will attend the institute. No. . time need be spent in telling them to come out. But the farmers who do not usually leave the farm shonld be stirred up. The women and young people should be brought ont. Every institute has something of value for them , 8S well as for the experienced farmer. The subjects that wiiI be discussed arc of practical interest - terest to every farmer. The men who will speak are practical and successful farmers who are re- cognied as leaders in their lines of work. Everybody ah uld make plans for at ending every session of th institute. A bill ha been introduced in Congress by Hon. Walter P. Brownlow from 'rennesse , ap- 'propriating $24,000,000 as a nationol aid for building roads. This we believe is a move in the right direction , Last year the 'government appropriated over $32,500,000 for river and harbor 'impruvements. Year after year appropriations are made by the general government to help out 'A commerce .on the water was and - - - - - 1W5I.IJtI.Uilifll. ! < " " ' " " " " " " ' ' ' " ' ' 'WW' iticl ! adjacent thereto. ' .r11 question of road building for the benefit of the rurdl district have gone unaided as far as the government is concerned , As a 'matter of justice and right as well as a benefit to the whole co tntry the government should aid in the building of roads. Other nations are building thcir wagon roads and why should not ours. It is said that France has 23,603 miles of wagon roads which w re built and are being maintaincd by the government. Italy has about 5,000 miles built and maintamed the same wa : ; . ' . 'l'his bill in congress creates a department at Washington with proper superintendents and employees - ployees to tale charge of the building of these roads. Each state , county or town receiving Federal aid is required to add a like amount to the amount received - ceived from the government. This would mean $48,000..000 for the betterment of our roads. As the distribution of this fund is based on the number of inhabitants - tants of the tate it make the distribution equitable. No state can receive more than its share. It is not so with the River 'and Harbor appropriations as only certain lucalities can share in it. - - - - . lUerct , lIosb. The 'World-Herald is creating quite a furro over the state in the 'matter of Chancellor . .n- drews effort to secure a donation from John D. Roc1dellow 'to build , a memorial building for the It'e ! of the State , University by cl im- ing that the building is intended as a monument for Rockfellow. On all such questions there are a lot of people , who pretend to be horror stricken at the suggestion - tion that some rich corporation or individual to do a philanthropic - thropic act. Should those persons be the direct beneficiaries of some of these rich corporations or individuals - dividuals they would never think of rejecting it. Rockfellow's money has been accumulated b speculation and judi ious management the same as Helen Gould's orCarniage's. If these people seek to make good use of their money , it is better than for them to continuc to hoard it or make other evil uses of it. . Instead of opposing the distribution of the millions for the public good they should be encouraged in the good work and Nebraska has as good a righ t to lay claim to it as any other state. This over zealous sentimentalism - mentalism is uncalled for and the 'Vorld-Herald in ncouraging it knows it , but simply does it for the sake ot an issue. . - - - - - Fr e Ifurnl Dellvcr , President Roosevelt has the following to say for the Free Delivery mail system : "The rural free delivery service hns been steadily extended. More routes have been installed since the first of July last , than in any like period in-the Depart- ment's history. * * * No governmental movement of recent years has , resulted in greater immediate - : mediate benefit to the people of' ' the country districts. Rural free' ' delivery , taken in connection with the telephone , the bicycle and the trolly , accomplishes much toward lessening the isolation - tion of farm life and making it brighter and more attractive. In the immediate past the lack of just such facilities as these has driven many of the more active and restless young men and women from the farms to the cities , for they rebellcd at loneliness - ness and lack of mental com- panionship. It is unhcalthy and undesireable for the cities to grow at the expense of the country ; and rnral free delivery is not only a good thing in itself , but is good because it is one of the causes which check this unwholesome - some tendency toward the urban concentrat\on \ of' our pop-1lation ! at the expence of the country distri ts.

Plck lt. ) . . . .CHAPTURXII. . . . About the year 1803 , Jose ph Hoag is said to have had a vision which seemed to describe to his mind what was to follow as are- 5ult of slavery in this c&untry. He being very modest would not ' consent to have his vision pub- 1ished until at the earnest solid- : tation of very close friends to whom he had confided the matter he allowed it to go into print in the year 1809. The writer of these lines saw it in 1855 or 1856 and the copy seen was in writing and not in print. I think it was not ever published so that it reached a great many people as the 01 ( ! "Friends" were very chary of making themselves con- spicious in print , especially in matters like this where there rpight be reflections cast upon the good name of their society through the possibility of Inis- I takes occuring in things professed - . ed of or predicted before hand. ! It may be that if some of their decendents had alwas been like minded the world would have been better off , however if they had all been so modest , Custer , County would have gone without , the privilege of reading after one of their heirs on the subject of 'the ' Underground Railruad. I believe that several years ago the RnpuBIcAN but perhaps tew then , knew much about the subject matter therein contained. 'l'his vision started out with an account of the planting of the colonies in this country and the advent of slaverv , its cause and its conse- yuenc s down to the time of the Civil War , all of hich was well described , ending in the perdition that during a war the south lost her power and slavery was an-I nihilated from the land. The I vision went on to say that "Tlen a monarchal government arose and established a national re- TO cunF ; A COI.O IN ONe DAV Take Laxatlvo . Dromo Qololne Tab'ctl.

" As to this last spoken - en of it IS denied by those who seemed to know , as bcing a part of the original vision. I was quite well acquainted with a daughter of Hoags , who was a teacher of some note in our county and who declared that t.tis ! in regard to a mona rchal government was not a part of her fathers writing as she had seen the original document otten when she was a girl and there I was no such declaration in it , but I was added by some other person ! she knew not who. This declara- 'tion ' of the daughter was made I before the Civil War began three I or four years. But of one thing : we are sure that the othpr p rt of the prophecy was fulfilled almost - most to the letter and thc quesJJ tion has often been asked was II " { this an emination from - the old gentlemen's mind or was it ag .
