I , McKINLEY will suit all old line or straight Republicans and the fact that lie can't give the password won't hurt him a little bit. The Republican party i is larger than any secret order , or it's too small to elect a president. i ONE strong , earnest general organiza I tion will accomplish more for Nebraska , publishers than a dozen local ones. I . . i Stand by the state press association. I Strengthen it. Its usefulness has been but slightly tested as yet. There are many unexplored possibilities ahead. THERE is already considerable inter- est being manifested in the selection of certain state officers-who are said to have legacy which they expect to inherit - herit from their predecessors. The Republicans - publicans will not take very kindly to any combines made three or four weeks in advauce of the next state convention. I The slate makers should take heed of I I. the fate of the resolutions presented at ' the Omaha convention.-Grand Island I' Independent. I A STRAW showing what Nebraska is now doing in the matter of stock raising I is seen in the shipment from Bennington of fourteen cars of cattle-the largest I single shipment ever made from that point. The stock yards people , always well informed upon the subject , antici- pate a very large volume of business this year and they know it is coming. The , weekly bank clearings tell us what this means to Omaha and the country mer- chant already feels the impetus it has given to trade.-Bee. . I THE sooner the Republicans of Nebraska - I braska adopt the primary election meth I od of nominating candidates the better I it will be for the party and the people. ! The primary method gives the people . ' some show at least and makes it more difficult for the schemers and wire-pull- ers to manipulate the politics and name I their favorites regardless of the wishes of the people and of the qualifications of those sought to be advanced in the way of political preferment. It 'will not wholly correct the evil , but it will make such work much more difficult on the part of the politicians. ONE of the follies of unthinking im potent journalism is the gratuitous boom- ing of candidates. The publisher's space bears the same relation to his success that the lawyer's advice and the doctor's prescriptions do to theirs. It is as staple an article as the grocer's sugar and coffee or the dry goodsman's calicoes and ging- hams. It takes money to buy advice , prescriptions , groceries and dry goods. It should also take money to buy news- paper space ; and the publisher who per- sists in this gratuitous nonsense brands himself as a "ninny" who is unfit in brains and courage to occupy the sanc- tum. One of the reasons why the news- . paper profession occupies a secondary place to that of law , medicine and the- elegy is this matter of gratuitous ser- vice so prodigally rendered everybody. COLONEL CALVIN J. RESLER , the handsome winsome , versatile and alto- gether lovely editor of the Wilsonville I Review made a heroic effort to say j something pretty about the slave here- of , in his last week's issue but failing or neglecting to furnish the necessary diagram - I gram the office force is unable to inter- pret his meaning or purpose and are j left in the dark as to whether Bole Hero or Fonso Jr. is doing the heavy editorial j trick on the Review. Nor does the fact I that Bole is well coupled on short legs and has running through his veins the blood ! of sixteen crosses of the most fashionable - ble families , nor the further fact that t Fonso has a mealy nose and is a sure I ! . prize-winner being "folded" in the full ' w , I of the moon throw any light on the the perplexing question. I ALL sorts of combines will be heard of from now on among the candidates for state offices. There will be more or less wood-sawing done yet no candidate with horse sense , that all are credited with having will be foolish enough to commit political suicide by attempting to put wheels on the political "band wagon" so early in the campaign. We hear of this and that set of men com- bining-the railroads the old line and mutual insurance companies and the , people against them all. Bnt when the time conies for making governors and other state officials , the one thousand delegates in convention assembled will have an individuality of their own that . no man . or set of men can control by arrangements - rangements made previous to the assem bling of that convention. This year the people are doing a great deal of slate I I breaking and a slate made in advance . / of the convention will have to be encom passed by a strong frame to insure its I t remaining intact.-Grand Island Inde 1 ' pendent. - 'L ' 1 . " . ' , , t % JSS -.Y , , - . . 1 II. 'IIJ - - - HENRY BOLLN ex-city treasurer of Omaha has b.en found guilty of embezzling - bezzling 103000. IT is to be regretted that such a capa- I ble man as Aden D. King of Culbertson should be so handicapped in the source of his announcement. THE split in the national Democracy ' has become so serious that it is feared . the bifurcation will extend right up between - ' tween its ears. IT is a little early to begin fall house- cleaning in July , but the Republican I party of Nebraska can afford to antici- pate this unpleasant job at this time by naming a state treasurer at the coining - ing convention who will be pledged to do the work and do it thoroughly. From all accounts the job is becoming more I and more imperative each year and next fall is none too early to commence oper- ations. Hence the necessity of the peo- ple naming the next state treasurer and not the versatile and cunning political manipulator now so eagerly enterested in his successor and the manner of the reception of the legacy thereto attached. Let us clean up before the other fellows do it for us. 1 I NEBRASKA people have lost several crops af late but it is a consolation that they have not lost their independence. They still have spunk enough to assert their own rights and among Nebraska II I I Republicans one of 'these rights is to ; smash political slates when they are not satisfactory to the masses. Whoever presumes to be state treasurer must act along the line of open and fair methods and an undue anxiety in his interest by prominent manipulators will make his nomination doubtful. Whoever pre- sumes to be governor of this state must stand before the people and defend his party on the stump. The masses of the people demand that the candidate for governor shall be to some extent at least a leader in public thought as well as a good fellow. IT is stated that the old line insurance companies have taken the field against the mutual and fraternal companies and that they propose if possible to secure legislation in their interest and against the latter in the next legislature. The people of Nebraska must not leave a stone unturned in their opposition to this movement of the old line com- panies. The mutual and fraternal com panies are about the only medium through which the poor people can pro- tect their families in the event of death -the old line rates are so high as to be prohibitive to the masses of the people. This opposition of the old line com- panies should be promptly and effectively met by the people , whose interests are closely bound up in the fraternal socie- ties. See that your repesentative is on the side of the people. FRITSCH. Sam Ball is running three listers. Cherries and plums are as large as buck shot. Ira Clark of McCook was on the creek , one day last week. Corn is about all planted and some is large enough to tend. A good many attended protracted meeting at Red Willow , Sunday. A great many fish are being saken out of the ponds left by the high water. We cannot boast of many pretty girls but can beat the record for pretty boys. C. E. Correll and wife of Cambridge schoolmates of Will Sexson , were visiting him over Saturday and Sunday. We can join in with the Box Elder reporter - porter pertaining to his item of a few weeks ago about many planting on a large scale and raising nothing. DANBURY. Miss : Ola Pew attended the play at McCook : , Wednesday night. C. H. Oman and son were county seat business visitors Monday. Messrs. J. H. Everist and J. Toner were county seat . . . visitors Thursday. A son made his debut into the home of E. E. Hayes and wife , last Saturday. The new stockyards are completed , giving ample room for the holding of cattle for shipment. Assessor Puelz and son Otto were at the county seat , Tuesday , completing the assessor's book for this precinct and I turning it over to the county clerk.

Fred Wagner and wife and Gus Rai- del and wife spent Sunday with Joe Down's. A sister of Mrs. Fred Wagner is visit- ing with her , from the eastern part of the state. Alpha Warfield contemplates getting a bicycle this fall with the proceeds from his truck patch. Wheelmen from surrounding towns pass through this neighborhood occas- ionally , these fine spring days. Mrs. : Wilson ( nee Mary Coiling ) of McCook , visited her sister Mrs. Peter Gillan , and other old time friends over Sunday. Charlie Byfield of the Willow was over to the North Star Sunday school , to see what the prospects were for organizing a Y. P. S. C. E. The farmers are becoming discouraged , as the continuous wind of last week took nearly all the moisture out of the ground and the oats need rain badly. Ash creek valley is truly a very pretty one since spring has opened up , and the trees pastures and fields of small grain I have all taken on their lovely mantles of green. Mr. Editor-In making a slight change in our writing , last week you changed the meaning. We meant that Miss Cora Matthews would extend her visit at I Stratton a week or so longer instead of here. Mrs. E. E. Blackson and Mrs. James Rittenburg , sister and mother respect- lively of Mrs. W. D. Williams , spent Wednesday and Thursday of last week visiting her. They reside north of Bart- ley and say the farmers are farming heavy their also , and as yet the crops all look fine. INDIANOLA. Henry Powell had business in the county capital , Tuesday. E. R. Banks had business in McCook Saturday and Monday. . Social life is just a trifle perturbed in this community , just now. I Mrs. E. J. Mitchell visited her parents near McCook Friday last. J. J. Lamborn and Marion Powell were both Lincoln visitors , Wednesday. Marion Powell and family were in the capital and metropolis Friday last. Mrs. E. R. Banks drove up to McCook on Thursday , returning in the evening. Misses Bird Happersett and Lillie Welborn visited McCook : friends on Sat- . urday last. James Robinson of Missouri Ridge indulged - dulged in a business visit to the new court house Saturday last. Our energetic friend Lamborn seems to be considerably in evidence yet in the race for the nomination for state auditor. John's motto is , "Never Say Die" . BOX ELDER. Some farmers have commenced culti- vating corn. S. C. King's windmill is giving him considerable trouble. Some of the scholars from McCook : held a picnic in Bolles' grove on Satur- day. day.Mr. Mr. and Mrs. W. X. Johnson started on Tuesday to Ogalalla to visit their son H. W. Johnson. As between Bill McKinley and Bill Traynor it won't take the people long to decide. He of the dark lantern gentry will get it in the isthmus , and Me. will become the next occupant of the presi- dential chair. Hail Insurance in first class com ] ) all 3 r. Written by C. J.

Mr. and Mrs. Grunden from Frontier county were in the neighborhood , first of the week. J. F. Black had the misfortune to lose his hogs with supposed cholera.

All are cordially invite - vited. . Charlie Byfield visited the North Star Sunday school in the interest of the Y. P. S. C. E , last Sunday , but owing to the length of time it took his clothes to dry after fording the river he was a little late ; but he reported a very nice Sunday school at North Star. SILLY SAYINGS.

Farington Power of the city drove out to the Wells ranch , Tuesday. Mrs. E. N. Benjamin has been con- fined to home the past week , with sciatic - ic rheumatism. It is needless ta say Nettie Dutton is the happiest girl in the county. A hand some new bicycle.
