Hh The situation in Kentucky fur-
H nislies an additional reason why
| | H United Statess senators ought to
rn rn be chosen by the people.
ifl They do say that Jim Black of
II Bloomington would not object to
S being the Bepublican nominee for
B'fl congressman in the Fifth district
wM in 1898.
Hj Some of the eastern dailies have
M become so risque that their read-
B ers now resort to the cellar or
m backyard when they come to pe-
IHi ruse their sensational columns.
HH The editor of the Papillion
HH Times is frank enough to admit
that he hasn't come across the pe-
HjH culiar brand of whiskey that causes
H people to see airships. But he is
B hopeful.
Htt General Manderson is duly
B credited with the appointment of
fl of AY. H. Michael as assistant sec-
1 retary of state. The general , it
§ 1 seems , has not forgotten any of
1 his oldtime cunning in shaking
Nj the patronage tree.
Hj 'The result has shown what The
H Tribune prophesied would be the
Hi case , that some of our Bepublican
H | brethren were "more scared than
H hurt" over the recount matter. It
R don't pay to "holler" too loud be-
H fore you are hurt , anyway.
Carl Schdrz devotes two col
umns of a recent Harper's to the
I
discussion of "Wanted A Bepub
lican Eorm of Government" . He '
hi s concludes with the lament that a .
Hg government like ours tcannot be 1
H . substantially republican , while j
H * such party bosses as Thomas C.
Hi 1 Piatt flourish.
The standing of Senator Thurs-
ton with President McKinley is
H having its fruit in the securincr of
I valuable appointments for Nebras-
kans. Besides the Senator has
B the happy faculty of standing up
B ; for Nebraska in season and out of
Hj season , that is sure to bring re-
B suits of a substantial sort.
Hj At the preliminary hearing of
Hj Joseph S. Bartley , ex-state treas , -
Hj urer , held in Lincoln , Monday , the
B defendant waived a preliminary
B examination and was held over to
B the May 3d term of court in Lan-
Hj caster county in the sum of $50-
H | 000 bond. Bondsmen are the same
B ones that made up his late bond.
H Attorney General Smith made an
H unsuccessful effort before the court
H to have the bond increased to af
B least § 75,000.
H Many people are still looking
Hj forJhe soft snaps or sspots in life.
Hi Which leads some one to state :
Hj "If salvation and sustained effort
B and good goverement and other
B abstract benefits could be put up
B in tablets , so that we could bolt
HH one or two every morning while
HH read we the newspaper , we would
B buy those tablets freely and pay
H well for them" . But unfortunately
B there is no royal way of doing
H anything that is really worth
H while.
H Thirty years is a long time to fight so pain-
H ful a trouble as piles , but Jacob Mitchell , of
H Unionville , Pa. , struggled that long before he
B lried DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve , which
B quickly and permanently cured him. It is
B equally effective in eczema and all skin af-
H fections. A. McMillen.
H When a.cold is contracted , cure it at once.
j One Minute Cough Cure will set you on the
HJ road to recovery in a minute. It will cure
H pneumonia , bronchitis , croup and all forms of
H lung and throat troubles. A. McMillen.

H eties , at Knipple's.

who will have charge of it. The
commendable enterprise of these
gentlemen 9 will be appreciated by
all who are interested in the welfare -
fare of our town.
The unloading and handling of
the safe for the new bankTuesday ,
called < to mind the fact that on occasions -
casions < of this kind there is never
any i want of advice from onlookers
who "have had experience in that
kind of work" . To every man who
really ; works there are half a dozen
old , guys with multitudinous suggestions -
gestions to "offer , and it matters
little ] if they have never seen or
heard ] of such work being done.

family here from Imperial soon. '
While Elmer Oxlev , who lives
northeast of town , was attending I
the Easter exercises , last Sunday 1
evening , some person or persons i
"lifted" the-saddle from his horse <
which was hitched on the street , i
Suspicion was attached to A. 1
Dietsch and some associates , probg g
*
r
ably owing to the unenviable rep
utations of the latter , and on Mon
day , L. A. Carnahan , owner of the
saddle , procured a warrant to searh
Dietsch's premises and belongings ,
which was given to Constable Wil-
son.who proceeded to "go through"
them. While the search did not
result in finding the missing prop
erty , it had the effect of arousing
the ire of "Tony" and his gang to
such a degree that they wanted to
bring suit against everybody that
knew anything about the matter.
Failing in this they have since been
filling the air with threats of how
they "won't do a thing" to the
next man that credits them with
annexing the prosperity of others.
Unconditional surrender , is the only terms
those famous little pills known as DeWitt's
Little Early Risers will make with constipa
tion , sick headache and stomach troubles. A.

Such broad , general charges are
unfortunate and'productive of no
good results , to say the least.
