MORAL depravity in three stages
Jam , jamboree , jimjam.
LET us do justice even to the Bour
bons. They serve as horrible examples.
JUMBO is dead. He took issues with
a freight train at St. Thomas , Ont. , the
other day and came out second best.
NEVER believe anything you read in
a newspaper that doesn't agree with
what you think. This saves wear and
tear on your conyictions.
IT is said , by a Boston paper , however ,
that the triumph of the Puritan over the
Genesta has disgusted the dudesque An-
glomaniacs of New York beyond de
scription , and that nothing will comfort
them.
them.As
As fast as the Richelieu Robinsons
and the Thomas Ochiltrees disappear
the Thomas A. tfendricks arise. And
so there is always somebody to twist the
British lion's tail , and the earth makes
its customary revolution in the usual
time. *
REPORTS from Hitchcock county in
dicate that the "merriewar"has opened ,
that the "music divine" has commenced.
Frontier and Hayes counties are also
preparing-for an "interesting time. " In
fact , the political pot seems to be boil
ing quite merrily even in our ownest
ReE Willow !
THE receipts of the Illinois state fair ,
held during the same week as our own ,
are estimated at $30,000 , while the ex
penses will fully balance them. There
is no doubt that the Nebraska state fair
is the biggest , best and most successful
in every way that has been held in the
United States this year.
BESU is the name of a Georgia black
smith who is said to be the strongest
man in that state. He is six feet ten
inches tall and.can . hold a 120-pound
anvil out with one hand. Sometimes for
pleasure he holds out cart-wheels by the
spoke or snaps chains that horses can
not break. He is much respected in the
community in which he lives.
WE are proud of Omaha our spark
ling little metropolis so is every Ne-
braskan ; butthephenomonal success of
the Lincoln fair , and the rather dismal
failure of the one held at Omaha , indi
cates in tones not at all uncertain that
the people of this state are of the opin
ion that Omaha was playing the hog , and
that Lincoln of right ought to be en
couraged and protected in her rights.
THE law and order league of Cleve
land had Sullivan ( John L. ) arrested for
pitching a base ball game there on Sun
day. The stern impersonation of law
and order who sat on the bench in the
case found the knocker-out guilty as
charged , and fined him a dollar. This
leaves Sullivan a balance of $899 for
his Sunday's work , and hence it cannot
be thought a very discouraging penalty.
SECRETARY LAMAR'S rash forcing of
Texas cattle into the Indian territory
has born the expected fruit. Thousands
of native cattle in the infested region
have died of Texas fever. The govern
ors of Colorado and Kansas will stand
firm as rocks against any attempt of
the secretary and his cattle raising
friends of Texas to cross the lines of
those states until all danger is past by
lapse of time and condition of the
weather. To admit Texas cattle into
those states and Nebraska simply means
the slaughter of our cattle by the fever
to make room for the new comers , and
it will be resisted. Topics.
EARTH'S two great oceans , 3,000
miles apart , shall roll up in thundering
oratorio their echo of the high and glad
refrain ; the vastest gulfs and grandest
lakes in all creation shall join the chant ;
river after river , huge rolling floods ,
shall conspire to swell the giant pzcan ;
Superior's waves , old Mississippi's tor
rents , Niagara's misty thunders shall
roar it far and wide ; the hurricane ,
crashing through ten thousand mountain
gorges , from the Alleghenies to the Cor
dilleras , from the Adirondacks to the
Sierras , shall chime it ; the raging bliz
zards , hurling six-inch hailstones on sky-
bounded and horizon-fenced Nebraskan
plains , shall whistle and rattle it ; the
catamounts shall shriek it , the prairie
wolf shall howl it , the lone owl hoot it ,
and the grizzly bear shall growl it ; and
the burden ofit shall be : ' 'America for
Americans ! One country , one flag , zwei

THE reason why Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is a favorite with so many people is
because it can always be depended upon. It's
