AeconDiNG to the Lincoln Journal the
railroads of Nebraska have placed the
pooplo of Nebraska under everlasting
obligation again by relieving their chosen
servants of all tho worry and labor of
organizing tho legislature And they did
it too with all tho disinterestedness of
a chicken eating sow in a lot of goslings
The Tribune has occasion to believe
that no crop can excel tho sugar beet
crop for profit in this part of Nebraska
If any one can call to mind any product
of tho soil that can secure a prompt and
ready market at a cash price that will
exceed tho sugar beet we have spaco for
the facts And then we can raise the
sugar beets with every reasonable cer
tainty and we cant say as much about
many other crops Tho sugar beet bus
iness at its worst is a good thing and
should be pushed along There are
eomo aggravating drawbacks but the
profit side of tho ledger shows favorably
on the side of tho farmer producing them
provided the producer is not afraid of
work
The twenty fifth annual meeting of
the Nebraska State Historical Society
will meet in Lincoln January 13th and
14th 1903 commencing at eight oclock
sharp in the evening in Memorial hall
of the state university The -Nebraska
Territorial Pioneers Association will
meet in Memorial Chapel Wednesday
January 14 at 2 oclock p m for social
reminiscences and election of officers
The Nebraska State Horticultural So
ciety will meet in morning and afternoon
session January 13th 14th and 15th in
Nebraska Hall University Campus A
supper and social meeting for members
of the above societies and their visiting
friends has been arranged for 6 oclock
p m Wednesday January 14th at the
Lindell hotel Tickets at hotel 50c
Tho public is cordially invited to attend
these sessions Those having valuable
information on subjects to be discussed
are urged to be present and those pos
sessing valuable historical relics are
urged to bring or send them for presen
tation at tho meetings
Napoleon said that God is omthe side
of the strongest battalion and tho good
book says that God helps those who
help themselves which The Tribune
translates to mean that those who will
win in an avocation of life must help
themselves must bend their best
energies toward making a success of any
thing they undertake be it in busi
ness in professional life or on the farm
or in the shop In a word the success
ful winning man must not be afraid of
work even hard work And the less
time he devotes ofhisshortand valuable
allowance on earth to fault finding and
kicking generally and tho more he
hustles the greater will be his measure
of success and the fatter his bank-account
Now then for the application
The Tribune imagines that our farmers
have not had all the best of it the last
season in the production of sugar beets
that is there have been some things not
quite satisfactory and clear in a measure
due to the fact that we are removed from
the factory it would be much better if
the beets could be delivered direct to the
factory perhaps But under all the
circumstances the facts are that those
who have shipped beets from
McCook and -vicinity have made a
very fair profit more than those who
raised corn wheat or any other product
of the soil We make bold to say that
the farmer who does not increase his
acreage of beets next season will not
act wisely nor in the interest of bis
pocket book There are disadvantages
in all lines of business but the profit
side othe sugar beet raising business is
way above all its drawbacks Push it
along Increase the acreage and pro
duction There is money in it It will
increase the valuo of jour land Its
a good thing

A New Years Picture
Oil New Year thou blest forever
Look thou upon this picture
I would that time could never sever
But tis of a timely fixture
On which lifes cares soon must fall
Two babes pare and innocent
And upon their brows to tell
Of trials so unexpectedly sent
New Year thou hast deigned to call
All things thine whilst thou art
Ruler of all this earthly hall
Take thou not tho babes apart
Sitting now npon tho floor
With hearts that know no sorrow
With souls pure as heavens door
Crowning each tomorrow
Tho pride of a mothers heart
A fathers joy and pride
To make sunshine is their part
And in lovo they abide
Hartley R Corner
Orleans St Francis
Orleans Neb Jan 6 1903 Special
to The Tribune 1902 was a prosperous
year for the Orleans and St Francis
branch favored with a heavy wheat
crop very healthy alfalfa harvest a
good showing in live stock poultry and
various products the farmers have bank
accounts in their fa vorandthemercbants
never did a more prosperous business
The Burlingtons traffic in hauling
wheat and merchandise has been a
record breaker Trains arrived daily at
Orleans with 1000 tons of wheat and
extras had to relieve the over burdened
regulars to raise the wheat blockade
This was the situation until the great
demand for coal cars to relieve the
eastern coal famine with Colorado coal
sent the box cars eastward and today
a large amount of choice wheat is in the
farmers granaries from Orleans to St
Francis
Herndon Kansas has the proud dis
tinction of being the banner district for
winter wheat in all Kansas Three
fields yielded between 50 and GO bushels
per acre and of a quality that makes the
miller glad Grain men from Kansas
City and other points have been making
the line and the competition has been
close The winter wheat crop of the St
Francis branch this year has seldom
been equaled and never surpassed
Marked improvements are seen along
the valley harbingers of prosperity and
wealth Powell Nilsson have erected
an up-to-date grain elevator at Marion
the youngest child of the family of the
St Francis stations Dryden Pew has
buiit a splendid twostory modern brick
at Wilsonville arid the Masonic brethren
have a first class hall above his new drug
store E C Parker is building a double
two story brick on the south Wilson
ville is growing
Along the valley the thrifty farmers
are building large red barns and substan
tial dwellings alfalfa live stock and
wheat the trinity of success that has
made this branch famous has brought
forth these blessings and made the prac
tical farmers independent with a good
bank account surrounded with evidences
of thrift that is the backbone of national
prosperity
The heavy snows that fell a few weeks
ago covers the ground and winter wheat
is in prime condition

Miss Lena Beck and Gustave W
Dishong were united in marriage by
Rev W J Crago The house was
tastefully decorated in white and green

entered the room the brides sister sang
All for You and during the ceremony
the strains of the Flower Song vi
brated softly through the rooms Mrs
Davis Evans sister of the groom was
bridesmaid and John C Beck brother
of the bride acted as best man A
dainty three courso luncheon was
served The bride was dressed in sheer
white with point lace and carried
white roses The young people received

Journal
Destruction Was Practically Complete
Speaking of the accident at Cambridge
Wednesday of last week the Clarion says
the destruction was practically complete
The team killedbelonged to Ralph Ed
wards who had narrow escape from
death himself Both horses were killed
one of them being thrown about fifty
feet into the tender of a switch engine
standing on a siding the other being
carried under the engine about a quarter
of a mile and ground to pieces The
wagon and harness were utterly smashed
and cut to pieces Edwards loss is
placed at 320000
Responsibility Makes Heroes
The average man is really tho standard
by which socioty must bo judged in 1903
A D Taking him as tho standard this
wicked old human race is pretty good
after all The old year wont out with
plenty of evidences of it
Tho wrongs that tho old year be
queathed to the new year the miseries
that will continuo in 1903 are not so
much because men willfully create them
as becauso tho average man does not
feel responsible for them
Responsibility is tho tremendous fac
tor in this world It transforms ordinary
men into George Washingtons and Abra
ham Lincolns
The Post recently told the story of a
man named C A Marooney who hap-
psned to bo the fireman on Engine 59
drawing Burlington express No 2
speeding eastward from Denver
Marooney is a specimen of the great
mass of tho people who say thoughtlessly
but really meaning it A Happy New
Year
They do not feel called upon to do
anything in particular to make anybody
happy but their friends and families
But responsibility makes a wonderful
transformation The ordinary man con
fronted with tho lives and happiness of
others actually depending on his nerve
and courage on his self sacrifice does
what Marooney did
The train was approaching Cuibertson
Neb at a speed of sixty miles an hour
when a pipe broke overwhelming tho
engineer and fireman with a cataract of
boiling water and steam
The engineer was knocked down and
suddenly the young fireman Marooney
realized that tho lives of the passengers
depended upon his hand
Tennysons famous lines about the
charge of the Light Brigade eulogized
the heroes of England thus
Theirs was not to reason why
Theirs but to do and die
But Marooneys part was to reason
why and then do or die
Blinded scalded frantic with pain
Marooney resolutely stepped into the
spouting death by steam and set the air
brakes and stopped the train
When millions of Marooneys realize
that theirs is the responsibility they
will not only say but act to make A
Happy New Year for this old world
every year
