It is a horrible fact to contemplates

inmates And Nebraska is young

Samuel Randolph Smith of the Indi
anola Independent still insists through
the bifurcation of his princealbert that
Almeron Reed John Wintjen and A
C Teel are the peer of D A Waterman
Dr J E Hathorn and Dr S L Green
Samuel Randolph becomes nuttier
every week and seems to be increasingly
proud of the fact
Prize votings to stimulate news
paper circulations are most thoroughly
objectionable methods They are all
simply appeals to tho rampant gambling
mania Every American citizen ought
on tho contrary to be taught to pay for
what he gets and to pay a fair price at
that There is nothing more abomina
ble morally or commercially than the
something for nothing idea
After all the people the great com
mon people as Colonel Bryan is wont
to stylo them have the privilege of pay
ing tho freight some The western gen
eral freight agents recently met in
Chicago and decided to increase freight
rates to meet tho increase cost of opera
tion caused by recent raising of em
ployes wages higher cost of equipment
etc So it wasnt a
thropy or a division
increased earnings
matter of philan

Bounties DidNot Carry
The impression prevails in a measure
that tho bounties amendment submitted
to the voters at the last election carried
in Redwillow county This is not cor
rect Only S00 votes were cast for the
bounties The total vote cast was 1800
The present constitution requires a ma
jority of the votes cast which seems to
be an impossible attainment as voting
now goes in Nebraska the state with the
smallest per cent of illiteracy in America
