Minden Gazette
Rumors come to us that the friends of
A Wilsoy over in Frontier county are
urging his candidacy for state senator
and aro quite enthusiastic over his qual
ifications Mr Wilsoy is described as
a successful grain buyer and a business
man of ability an old soldier and a
patriotic man of alFairs The Tribune
lacks personal acquaintance with Mr
Wilsey but is favorably impressed with
the claims of his warm friends lie
may be heard from in the convention of
September 10th
WniLESCoring Mickey the Republican
nominee for governor because ho is
connected with a bank the Minden
Courier should remember that Congress
man Shallenbarger who wants to bo re
elected on the fusion ticket has been
for many years and is now a banker If
it is a bad thing to be a banker and run
for oflice on the Republican ticket it is a
bad thing to be a banker and run for
office on the fusion ticket However

Democracy announces its determina
tion to go to the bottom on the obsolete
Kansas City platform and the people of
prosperity will give them a boost in
November Secretary Edwards of the
National Democratic Congressional com
mittee nicikes the following authoritative
statement to that effect Tho Demo
cratic Congressional committee is stand
ing squarely on the Kansas City plat
form That is the only democracy wo
know anything about and it will be the
only democracy there is until another
national convention shall be held
The newspaper business or to write
more precisely the country newspaper
business is the only reputable business
to the writers knowledgeconducted out
of all reasonable relations and without
any apparent knowledge of or respect for
proper proportions A casual glance at
the weekly newspapers of Nebraska will
disclose tho humorous humiliating fact
that so called weeklies with a few paltry
hundred subscribers a little folio it
may be illy printed and indifferently
edited charge and receive the same
subscription price and advertising rates
as newspapers of the thousand or more
subscribers class done in workmanlike
manner and edited with some enemv and
intellect Subscription price and adver
tising rates do not seem to be based upon
any business idea of value or worth but
rather on what the traffic will bear No
merchant can get as much for five
pounds of sugar or ten yards of calico
as another merchant gives double the
amount for and it does not seem clear
why the newspaper business should be
an exception to the usual business rule

David gots tho Republican votes of tho

The News considers it poppycock to
designate our candidato for governor
Farmer Mickey It is on tho same
level of nonsense as it was when Bryan
was photographed with overalls on and
a pitchfork in his hands They are both
farmers of course the same as the
writer is and nearly every business man
in town But what does it signify if
Mickey or Bryan is a farmer A farmer
is just as good as a lawyer or a lawyer
is just as good as a famer provided al
ways that he is A mans occupation
dont make him honest or competent
There aro honest men as well as dishon
est men in every walk of life We sup
pose the idea is that it will tickle the
farmers that one of their number has
been named for a high office and they
will vote for him regardless of anything
else This idea is necessarily accom
panied by the further idea that farmers
are all chumps and idiots This effort
to form classes and to set one against
the other is most contemptible This
is the greatest sin Billy Bryan will have
to answer for He is continually harp
ing about the common people as
though they were a class of registered
thoroughbreds who were different from
the rest of us Why not be sensible even
in politics Albion News

Accidents on Railroads
Statistics from the interstate com
merce commission which cover the three
months ending March 31st show that
railway accidents within the period cost
the lives of 212 persons and property
loss of Sl914000
The death list includes only fatalities
to passengers but with the added names
of employes killed while at their usual
work it is increased to 813
During the three months accidents to
passengers numbered 2111 and injuries
to employes increased the total to 9958
The list of both killed and injured are
greater than for any similiar period in
several years and the period covered in
the report bids fair to become historic
for the large number of important disas
ters it contained
Tabulations of train accidents show
that there were 1220 collisions of which
221 were of passenger trains and S3S de
railments of which 84 were of passen
ger trains The eighty four include
forty one disastrous wrecks in which
loss of life occurred In these alone the
list of injured passengers include 826
names
In accidents not included under the
heads of derailments and collisions
there were twelve deaths and 1259 in
jured No statistics are given to show
the deaths and injuries among train
hands in the latter class of accidents
The damage figures are compiled from
reports showing the value of the de
stroyed locomotives and rolling stock
and injuries to cost of repairs to track
and roadway
Accident in Denver Yard
The light engine of the first section
of No 1 and the second section of that
train had a slight collision in the Den
ver yard Sunday afternoon Engineer
Avery was backing his engine to the
round house when the second section
came steaming in Fortunately both
parties saw each other and made every
effort to stop consequently the impact
was not heavy nor was tho damage
worthy mention Avery and his fireman
jumped and Avery was quite painfully
injured bj coming in contact with a
switch stand Avery had reversed his
engine but had not shut off steam
and after the collision tho engine hiked
out for Denver at a lively rate Avery
being injured his fireman made the
sprint of his life and just managed to
catch the runaway and shut off steam
thus avoiding further trouble and con
cluding an accident of most fortunate
particulars and results Avery knew
the sections were an hour and fifteen
minutes apart at McCook but the gap
had been closed almost when they pulled
into Denver Engineer Donovan pulled
the second section
