THIS is Nebraska weather that
the oldtimers tell about. Even so
and more too.
THE convention for the Fifth
congressional district will be held
in Minden on April 8th ,
THE sound money Democrats
will hold their convention in Lincoln -
coln on the 29th of April , with 625
delegates based on the vote for
Mahoney.
THERE seems to be no opposition
to the renomination of Congressman -
man Andrews , who will be eminently -
inently satisfactory to the mass of
Republican voters in the district.
A NICE kettle of fish is the Mc-
Kinley-Manderson imbroglio. The
whole game is becoming tiresome.
If the contending would-be leaders -
ers of the party , Motif north and
south of the Platte , both U P. and
I B. & M. , don't soon put brakes on
their damnfoolery they won't have
any votes to place to the credit of
the Republican candidates in the
electorril college , next fall. Give
the rank and file of the Republican
party a show for their white alley ,
I and the Republican majority in
Nebraska will return in strength
and confidence.

Some people are in the habit of
turning out their stock to destroy
. other people's feed. They do not
have energy enough to provide
feed for their own stock as other
people do. This procedure is becoming -
I coming stale-such people should
be compelled to care for their own
stock. A dose of herd law would
about fill the bill.
