If His Claims are Improving.
If Candidate for State Auditor H. II. Troth ,
H who with the aid of the A. P. A. secured the
H delegation from this county to the state con-
H vention has given up the fight. The Times-
H Democrat , that never supports a Republican
H if its editor has the least personal grievance
H against the candidate , begins to realize that
h its fight against Hon. J. J. Lamborn will only
IS make him friends , as was the case two years
| ago , is lying very low on Troth at present.
IS The people remember the same Troth that
IE ' tried to defeat Lamborn two years ago.
IE ' Colonel Phillips of the Indianola Re-
l | V I porter is usually acccurate in his state-
II % 1 meets , but in the above instance , the
11 Colonel shoots wide of the mark when
II he states that H. H. Troth "has given
I up the fight" for the state anditorship.
I On the contrary , Mayor Troth consid-
I ers his chances good and improving for
I securing the nomination. He insists on
I the contrary that he will go into the
I coming convention with a atrong show-
I ing from the Republican valley , and that
I his outlook is very encouraging.
I "Keep off the grass" signs should now
I- read "Get off of the earth" !
I A little political house-cleaning is
I just as necessary to party purity and
success as a cathartic to physical well-
being. _ _ „ _ , „ _ _ _ _ _
Political leaders are necessary
bosses never. And the people have aright
I
right to demand capable and honorable
leaders.
The state supreme court has decided
that a master does not insure his serv-
I ants against defective appliances of
I which no notice is given.
I The Hayes county patriots who We
I after the scalp of Judge Abbott of the
I Hayes Center Republican have taken a
I large and lively contract on their hands.
I Hitchcock county has declared in
I favor of J. W. Cole for representative ,
I and it is stated that the senatorial dele-
I gation will be in favor of Cash D. Fuller
of Imperial for state senator.
I The Nebraska state campaign will
I have to be fought on the issue of honest ,
I economical and efficient state govern-
I * ment. The party with clean candi-
I dates will have the pole in the race.
R Bee.
I The Republicans of Frontier county
I have declared in favor of F. M. Rathbun
for state senator and J. C. Gamnrill for
I representative of the 66th district , a fact
I that the friends of both men will learn
I .with pleasure.
I IF Judge 31. L. Hay ward receives the
I nomination for governor we can yell for
I " Hedlund. If Jack MacColl is nominat-
I ed for governor we can 3-ell for McClay.
I If Meiklejohn is nominated for governor
I we can yell for Geddes. Alma Record.
I The demand of the state press for a
I higher grade of qualifications in those
I seeking state nominations on the Re-
I publican ticket is meeting with a hearty
I support , and the indications are improv-
I ing that no excuse will need to be made
I for any nominees of the July convention.
I IT has been the custom' for Republi-
I cans to renominate state officers who
I have well performed their duties during
I their first terms , and there is perhaps no
I good reason why this rule should not
I _ _ and will not obtain 111 the oomtng state
I convention. One good term deserves
I another.
I The combination of Macs was sprung
I too soon and has been wrecked on the
shoals of the political sea by a wave of
I popular disapproval of combinations.
I The time is at hand when the dictator
I and slate maker will be relegated to the
I balcony of the convention halls and the
I people will express their preference.
I Gretna Reporter.
I George D. Meiklejohn spent last
I Saturday in the city , visitingfriendsand
I acquaintances , and looking up his
I chances for securing substantial aid up
I here in forwarding his boom for the
I gubernatorial nomination. Genial
I George has many admirers up the valley
I and his nomination would be satisfac-
I tory to all Republicans.
I The McCook Times-Democrat is plac-
I ing the wrong construction upon the
I Gazette's attitude toward John J. Lam-
I born. It is not fighting Mr. Lamborn ,
II so far as the gentleman , himself , is con-
1 cerned , but it objects to the dictation of
Hj an obscure Populist sheet as to whom it
H | should or should not support. Mr.
Hi Lamborn and the Gazette understand
Hi - each other and there is the best of feel-
B ing between then. ; . Mr. Lamborn will
H soon make his permanent home in Kear-
B ney county , and we gladly welcome him

The Indiana state board of health has
joined with those of Ohio and Illinois in
the enforcement of a regulation forbid
ding expectoration on the floors of rail
road and street cars. The movement is
prosecuted on the ground that it is a
necessary sanitary measure , but it is al
so justifiable as a requirement of decen-
: y and as a source of relief to the de
fenseless women , who have suffered all
dnds of miserj' .and annoyance from

Girls , can you tell what ails the boys on
Mondays ? What makes them so dumpish
and sleepy-headed , as though they had
been slugged with a charge of laudanum , and
sour as if they had been stabbed with a wad
of buttermilk. We suggest that on next Sun
day evening by one o'clock Monday morning
you intimate that consistency superinduces
an incontrollable inclination to request the
upspeakable happiness and pleasure of be
holding his superb manliness by viewing his
back at a distance. In other words , send
him home.

A large crowd gathered in the Miller grove
on Sunday to take part in the religous ser

teresting and in the afternoon nine persons
were baptized by immersion. The Willow
was not exactly in a condition to emblemize
purity , which fact was to be regretted.
Children's day was celebrated in a happy
style at the Christian church. The little ones
did their part nobly. The church was beauti
fully decorated with festoons of feathery as-
and yucca blossoms. Banks of

looming house plants surrounded the altar
and testified to the taste of the committee.
The programme was enacted without a flaw
and a delighted audience promised them
selves to witness Children's day exercises at
the church , next year.
