THE farmers of this senatorial
district tivill remember deserving
Frank Rathbuu handsomely , this
fall. He is one of the most meritorious -
torious men in the district.
MCKEIGFIAN , the foxy , captured
the democratic congressional convention -
vention at Hastings , Wednesday ,
by a vote of 577 to 401 , after a
bitter and exciting fight. But salt
petre wont save McKeighan , this
year.
THE republican nominee for the
office of county attorney has the
qualifications 111 more than a common -
mon measure for making an able
and successful and satisfactory
officer. He should be remembered
with the full republican vote.
MR. ANDREWS' popularity in this
district is attested by the crowds
of people who turn out to hear him
wherever lie goes to speak , and the
cordial welcome accorded him at
different gatherings. The people
do themselves credit in thus honoring -
oring an honest , earnest man.-
Hayes Centre Republican.
THE successor to IIanderson
must be a republican-not nessar-
1ly a corporation counsel as our
populist friends intimate-but a
republican. One of the ways and
the most effectual way for the republicans -
publicans of this county to secure
that desirable result is to elect
John J. Lamborn as Red Willow
county's representative in the next
legislature.
W. E. ANDREWS will speak in
McCook , Friday afternoon next ,
October 13th , commencing at two
o'clock. Governor Crounse will
also address the meeting. There
may also be an evening meeting.
Republicans of Red Willow county
should make a special effort to be
present en masse , and hear two of
our most eloquent and convincing
speakers.
NEWS of the most cheering nature -
ure come from all over this district
showing that W1 E. Andrews is
growing more popular with the
voters. The opposition is much
alarmed at the brightening prospects -
pects for his election. He is making -
ing a successful campaign and the
people everywhere give-him hearty
welcome. Democrats. by the hundred -
dred and also many populists are
leaving itilcKeighan for him.-
Hastings Tribune.
WHEN our own Mcgeighan
enunciated the celebrated sentence
at Holdrege , two years ago , " 1
mean no disrespect to the defenseless -
less dead , when I say I am no democrat -
ocrat , " we thought the saying as a
rather cute sarcasm. In the light
of present events it must be regarded -
ded as a prophecy which entitles
the prophet to some honor-as a
prophet-even in his own country.
Today the democratic party in
Nebraska is passing through the
last throes of dissolution.-Red
Cloud Belt.
THIS year of grace it will be the
exclusive and delectable privilege
of the republican party of Nebraska -
ka to make of fushion confusion , i
by administering to the demo-pop
combination , this fall , a knock-out
blow. We've got to do it to hold
our job of standing up for Nebraska -
ka and being enumerated in her
behalf 365 days annually. So peel
your outer garments , brethrenand
at them. You have before you the
t
supreme effort of your part y life.
Victory under the present circumstances -
stances will be all the more glorious -
ous and grand. 1
FIRST AND EAST :
Hops smiles a welcome , though none other
smiles
Upon our entrance to this world of pain.
And on each purpose of our youth again ,
With an inspiring sympathy , she smiles.
She leads us forth to battle and beguiles
Our anguish , If the long fight proves in vain ,
Till , pierced with countless wounds , among
the slain '
We leave her , while the victor foe reviles.
But , even ps we touch at ruin's verge ,
And hear the voices of despair , that urge
The fatal plunge to chaos , hope , alone-
How healed and bow ransomed none may
guess-
Rising again , in pallid loveliness ,
Resumes her sway , a thousand times o'er-
thrown.

THE LAZY FIRST BASEMAN.
1110 Was Favored by Rain Until the Manager
Drowned Him Out.
The retired left fielder was tolling the
story. "Hank McGinnis , " he said ,
"was the greatest first baseman I over
seen. He could play the bag outer sight
when he was a mind to , but he was the
laziest man in 27 counties , and ho
didn't play no ball when he could git
outen it. Ho was allays turnin up with
a spiked foot or a split thumb or some-
thin of the kind , an ginerally made out
to lay off moro'n half the time. The
summer we were playin in the Western
league we struck a mauagor who was
onto Hank's carves. He took him to
I
ono side when the season begun an tel
him that he wouldn't stand no grafts.
Ho marked out to him that if he didn't
play every day he would git laid off an
lose his pay. Sore heels an thumbs was
barred.
' Hank , bein lazier than over that ,
year , was considerbul stirred up about
this. He didn't have no likin to play ,
but ho was hot after the long green , an
he kop' playin along an kickin like a j
bay steer all the time. Finally he got a
couple of days' lay oft an went to see
his mother , so ho said. He got back on
time an complained of being sick , but
the manager tel him t' git inter th'
game or lose 20 cold plunks , an ho got
in. Nex' day we couldn't play. There' '
was a big rain. Jus' before the time
t' call the game on the day after that
they was ancther big rain.
"An it went on like this fern straight
30 days. It would allays rain jus' before -
fore the game , whether we was home or
away. Hank he got fat loafin around
an was on first rate terms with hisself.
Finally the manager had to let out some
of the men to reduce expense , an flank ,
got the run. Then the rains stopped.
Now , what to you think that man done
so's ho could git his money without
workin ? Seems he knew somethin about
rainmakin , an when ho took that t ip
home ho got his chemicals together in
didn't do a thing but make rain every
afternoon jus' before the game. " - Buffalo -

St. Murphy.
There is in one of the departments
in Washington an old maid whom I
call St. Murphy , not because she is so
saintliko in appearance , for my saint
has a jolly face , and in that woman ,
whose hair is sprinkled with gray and' '
upon whose cheeks the roses of youth
have ceased to bloom , I see a beauty
I
that leaves nothing to be desired.
She comes into the dining room accompanied - ,
companied by a little girl and boy. My !
woman's eye soon detects something a
little out of the usual. The children
look too young to be hers , so I make inquiries -
quiries and find that they are hers by
i
adoption. She found these children w. . th
a dying mother , whom she made hai yy
by promising to care for them. H.w
faithfully she is keeping her promise !
She has taken them to her heart. They
show , as children always do , that they
have not only food and clothes , but love ,
i
and plenty of it. Do you wonder that I
call her saint ? Hero is that woman , at ,
the age when women soonest tire , going
daily to her work , no matter what the
weather , cold or rain , denying herself
that she may make these children com-
fortablo. When I see her in the evening ,
weary from her day's work , but her
dear old face beaming with love , I say
to myself , "There is a woman who has
won heaven , and I am glad to have
knownher , " and I murmur , "God bless
you , Miss Murphy-Harriette ! P.

Chemical Reaction.
A French chemist has lately made
some iuvestigations in a fieldnothither-
tO so thoroughly explored as many others -
ers , and from them ho draws the conclusion -
clusion that chemical reaction cannot
occur between 125 degrees and 150 de
grees. Sulphuric acid and ammonia
will not react at 80 degrees , while at 60
to 65 degrees the action is sudden and
violent. Neither caustic soda nor caustic
potash can be made to unite with the
same acid below 125 degrees C. nor
with carbonates below 80 degrees. With
the latter , brisk effervescence sets in
about 30 degrees. If nitric instead of i
sulphuric acid is used in such experiments -
ments , the temperature where reaction
begins seems to be lowered in every
case.-New York Sun.
A Cremation.
Mrs. Alice N. Lincoln thus describes i
her feelings while watching a cremation -
tion :
"As we stood in silence watching the s
rosy glow which played over the white
surface of the retort a feeling came to
of certainly but also of
is awe , peace s
and rest. There was something so spir-
tual , so elevating in the al solute purity
of the intense heat that it seemed to all
If ns who stood there far less appalling
than the blackness of an open grave. " s

r THE LANGUAGE OF FINGERS ,
Their Snent Taik Is Important In Board of
Trade Transactions.
Thousands of visitors who yearly go
to the board of trade and watch the
traders on the exchange floor from the
public gallery express surprise at the
rapid manner in which business is trans-
acted. As a rule , the wheat pit attracts
thorn , and they do not understand how
commodities change hands with such
lightning rapidity , and how hundreds of
thousands and millions of bushels are
bought and sold in an incredibly short
space of time is to the novice a profound -
found mystery. They do not know that
the brokers do a great deal of their work
by finger signs , seldom understood by
the outsider.
It requires only the fraction of a second -
end to buy and sell 50,000 bushels of
wheat.
"I'll sell 50 'Sep. ' at an eighth , "
cries one of the brokers , and he has
hardly finished speaking before another
on the opposite side yells "Sold. " The
trade is put down on the trading card ,
and the transaction , which involves over
$30,000 , has been completed.
The number of bushels offered for sale
is indicated by holding up one finger for
each 5,000 bushels. So in selling 50,000
bushels the broker simply holds up both
hands and waves them from him , which
explains itself as wanting to dispose of
the lot. In addition to this , brokers
have a complete finger code by which
the condition of the market is commu-
nicated. The signs generally used are
as follows :
The first finger held up stands for
one-eighth of 1 cent , as the traders all
know the main price. If , for instance ,
the first sale of wheat after the market
opened was made at GO cents and the
next at 603a dents , the trader simply
holds up ono finger for the advance of
one-eighth of 1 cent. The upward position -
tion of the finger is to show the upward
course of the market. Should the market
be bearish and the price decline to 50 %
cents , the signal for this would be a
closed hand , with the thumb pointing
downward. This shows the price seven
eighths of a cent and the status of the
market downward.-Chicago Tribune.
AN ABSENTMINDED MAN.
lie Went ; fishing and Forgot That It Was
Isis Wedding Day.
The Rev. George Harv st , minister of
Thames Ditton , a great scholar and
skillful fisherman , was one of the most
absentminded men of his time. He was
engaged to a daughter of the bishop of
London , but on the day of his wedding ,
being gudgeon fishing , ho overstaid the
appointed , hour , and the lady , justly offended -
fended at his neglect , broke off the
match. With Arthur Onslow , the
speaker of the ] souse of commons , Mr.
Harvest was on terms of great intimacy.
Being one day in a punt together on the
Thames , ho began to read a beautiful
dassago from some Greek author , and
throwing himself backward in an ecstasy
fell into the river , whence he was with
difficulty fished out.
When Lord Sandwich was canvassing
for the vice chancellorship of Cambridge ,
Harvest , who had been his schoolfellow
at Eton , went down to give him his
vote. In a large company the two were
joking together on their schoolboy tricks.
The parson suddenly exclaimed ,
"Whence do you derive your nickname
of Jimmie Twitcher ? " "Why , " answered -
swered his lordship , "from some foolish
fellow. " "No , no , " interrupted Harvest -
vest , "it isn't some but every hotly that
calls you so. "
When this gentleman's mind was net
absent , it was , however , very gful to
him. Having lost himself at Calais , and
not being able to speak a word or
French , he managed to convey to the
inhabitants that he was staying at the
Silver Lion by putting a shilling in his
mouth and setting himself in the attitude -
tude of a lion rampant.-London Illustrated -

Indians Tracking.
It was a most strange and interesting
experience to see tholndianread all the
signs of the different animals in the
grass or among the woods with the
same ease as we read an open book. The
least disarrangement in the grass or
sticks , however small , was enough.
Glancing casually at it in passing , he
would say : "Bear-a week old. " "Yes-
terday. " "Deer-this morning. " "Very
old. " "Caribou-last month , " and so
an. It was wonderful to behold this
instinct in a man.
I had for a long time been following
this trail of the moose , which I thought
was a fresh trail , when I got sick of it
and began to cross examine Mr. Big
Partridge as to how far off our quarry
was likely to be. Big Partridge then
showed that he was sick of the imaginary -
nary moose hunt himself and owned up ,
'Old trail ; all moose nipoh"-that is ,
dead. He had only been leading me
about in this way to amuse me , know-
ng it useless the whole time. He exacted -
acted $2.50 for that day's sport.-

Lovers' Ink.
There are various kinds of invisible

nk which can be wiped off a sheet of
paper with a pocket handkerhoief without -
out leaving a trace : Dissolve some
tarch in water until it is as thick as
cream. Then add to it a few drops of
tincture of iodine , which will turn the
tarch to a darkred color. Now take a
pen and write with this prepared ink
upon a sheet of note paper. The ink
will dry right away , after which you
may erase the whole of your letter by

handkerchief. It will disappear as easi-
y as chalk from an ordinary black-

FELL INTO MILLIONS.
The Slip of His Worse Resulted In the Rider
Discovering a Great Mine.
One of the most productive mines in
California was discovered through an
accidental fall of the discoverer. He
was one of a hunting party that had
gone out from San Franciscoduring the
Christmas holidays. While passing
along the side of a steep hill on a narrow -
row trail his horse suddenly slipped ,
and with his rider went down into the
gulch.
Happening to be the last in the line
and some distance behind the others , ho
was not missed for some moments , but
when his absence was noticed the party
turned back to look for him , fearing
some untoward accident. He was nowhere -
where to be seen , but the place where
his horse had slipped and fallen over
the bank , together with the traces of
the fall , was plainly visible. Following
the tracks made by the falling horse and
man , and when near the bottom , the
men suddenly came upon an interesting
spectacle. Just behind a clump of bushes
which the man and his steed had
crashed through on their way down
stood the horse , apparently uninjured ,
while near by , on a slab of rock projecting -
jecting from the snow , the man was
capering like an Indian at a ghost
dance.
The first impression of the rescuing
party was that the man had gone suddenly -
denly crazy , but as ho caught sight of
them ho snddenly ceased his gyrations
and shouted for them to approach. They
came , when he showed them several
lumps of almost pure gold he had hastily -
tily knocked from the edge with a stone
for a hammer and announced his discovery -
covery of a gold mine. The sliding
horse had brought up against the ledge ,
and the restive animal , kicking vigorously -
ously in the efforts to rise , had struck
off the moss from the stone and disclosed -
closed the fact that it was a gold bearing -
ing ledge of unusual richness. The find
was appropriately named "The Christmas -
mas Gift , " and avaluablegiftitproved

KYRLE BELLEVJ'S VANITY.
Row It Was Once Sadly Disconcerted by an
American Girl.
There had been lively discussions
some years ago over a then seemingly
important question theatrically , and indeed -
deed socially , "Was or was not Fyrlo
Bellew possessed of great vanity ? "
I believe the matter has never been
definitely settled , though in an individual -
ual instance I recall it would seem there
was valid ground for a decision in the
affirmative.
The occasion was an informal "even-
iug" at Mrs. Lester Wallack's , and
gathered about one of the tables were
two or three young ladies , Mr. Bellow
and other men. Bellew had some bits of
paper in his hands , from which he was
idly fashioning little boats. "I hear' , "
ho drawled , addressing no one in particular -
ticular , "that your American navy is
badly in need of ships. I propose to
remedy the trouble by presenting you
with a few. " One girl spoke up quickly
in slightly sarcastic vein , "I am sure
we all render sincere thanks in the
name of the American navy. "
The actor favored her by an especially
comprehensive glance , and finishing his
boat penciled a few lines on it and
rather patronizingly tossed it over to
her.
her.The
The girl picked the boat up slowly
( this was the first occasion she had met
Mr. Bellew ) and read : "My love to you.
Byrlo Bellew. " A rather vivid flush
overspread her face , but looking the
young man steadily in the eyes she said
in tones sufficiently clear for comprehension -
hension , "The sentiment inscribed hero
( indicating the paper boat ) is surely toe
much of an honor for any one woman a
to aspire to ; so , with your permission ,
Mr. Bellew , I will take it home , raffle
it and-send you the proceeds. " She
then rose , bowed and left the table , at
the same time leaving Mr. Bellew sufficiently -
ciently disconcerted to bite his lips and 1
permit his brow the shadow of a frown.

healthy. A hot summer is always unhealthy -
healthy and a cold summer healthy.-
