urea Goldei Prevents Pneumonia
Never before in the history of
Nebraska has politics been of such
vital interest to the masses ne the
contest now being waged in this
state. The people are entitled to
know the whole truth nbont all
the men who nre seeking office
and about the principles that nre
being advocated. A paper having
some personal or private interest
in the outcome of such contests
can rarely be relied upon to print
the news from an absolutely un
biased standpoint. Has the
thought occurred to you that The
State Journal is the only Nebras
ka strte newspaper whose proprie
tor is not an office holder or office
seeker ? This may be some ex
planation of why The Journal is
so especially interesting these
days. Its attitude upon all ab
sorbing topics of public interest
is in behalf of the people nucl not
for office-getting.
Men P it Sixty In Danger.
More than half of mankind over
sixty years of age suffer from kidney
and bladder disorders , usuallyjenlargo-
ment of prostate gland. This Is both
painful and dangerous , and Foley's
Kidney Cure should be taken at the
first sign of danger , us It corrects Irre
gularities and has currcd many old
men of this disease. Mr. Rodney
Burnett , Rockport , Mo. , writes : "I
suffered with enlarged prostate gland
and kidney trouble for years and after
taking two bottles of Foley's Kidney
Cure I feel better than I have tor
twenty years although I am now 91
years old. " i-'or sale at McBrlde's

DOWN ON THE RIO GRANDE
Contractor Tells of nu Excltlug x-
perlenoo in Crossing Stream
in the West.
"To give you an idea of what
sort of a river the llio Grande is
I'll tell you an experience that 1
had in getting across it with a
derrick , " said liuyinond McDou-
gall , a mining man from New Mexico
ice , to a Milwaukee Free Press
man. " 1 was a contractor in rock
work in those days and was tak
ing 1113' derrick from the east side
of the river to the MagdalcnaH.
The derrick was on four wagon
wheels and four mules were haul'
ing it. I had my t wo helpei-H along
and one of them drove the mules.
He was an old timer , which wan
lucky , and if 1 had trusted to my
own judgment 1 might have made
a mistake that would have cost
me .my mules and derrick , if not
my life.
"We reached the Kio ( Irande an
hour before sundown and I saw
u wide river bed , but no water
only dry sand from one bank to
the other. It was a new kind of
river to me , but my driver said
that it was all right that it wus.i
way the Kio Grande had. The
water was there , only it was llow-
ing through the sands under the
channel instead of in it. I be
ing a tenderfoot was for camping
on the nearer bank where the
grass was good , but .McCartney ,
the driver , said that would never
do unless I was willing to take my
chances of staying there a week 01
two ; that water sometimes came
down the channel , a good deal of
it , and that it would be well to get
across while we were sure thai
we could.
"We were starting across over
the dry sands and I was thinking
what an easy way it was of ford
ing a river when of a sudden the
two lead mules were ilouiulerint >
in a quicksand and the whole out
fit came near being drawn in. We
got the two leaders clear of the
harness and the other two mules
drew them out , one at a time. We
hitched them up again and by mnk
injr a long circuit got past the
quicksand and to the other bank.
"By that time it was ten o'clock
and the moon had risen. The
mules had just begun , to climb the
bank when we heard a roaring
noise up the channel. It came
from a wall of water that
stretched from bank to bank and
was traveling toward us fast. It
looked in the moonlight to be four
feet high , and there was high wa
ter behind it sending it on. We
didn't need to holler to the mules.
They heard what was coming and
clawed up the bank like cats.
"We got out all right , derrick
and all and there were not three
minutes to spare. Before we had
finished our supper the river bed
was full bank high , with a torrent
that eddied and roared as it
rushed past our camping place as
if it had been sorry to miss us and
would like to get up where we
were. There was not a cloud in
the sky or o sign of rain anywhere
and the Hood may have come from
u cloudburst in Colorado 200 miles
away But it came near get
ting us.
"I had learned one lesson , and
that was in traveling by wagon
always camp on tttc farther side
of the stream. And I had learned
to put no trust in the Rio Grande. "
Sixty-Ton Steel Rope.
The biggest rope ever used for
haulage purposes has just been
made for a district subway in
Glasgow. It is seven miles long ,
4j { inches in. circumference , and
weighs nearly GO tons. It has been
made in one unjointed and un
spliced length of patent cruoiblo
steel. When in place it will form
a complete circle around Glasgow
crossing the Clyde in its course
and will run at a speed of 15 milet
an hour.
Size of Circus Bings.
Circus rings are always uniform
in size , as circus horses are trainee
to perform in a standard ring 4
feet in diameter. In a larger or .
smaller ring their pace becomes
uneven , irregular and unreliable
and the riders in turning somer
saults are liable to miscalculate
the curve and miss their footing

During the last two years about
5,000,000 mulberry trees have

will eventually become an irapor

A Highland Fish Story.
This fish story comes from
Highland already , although the
new road is not yet built , says the
Voice of the Road. Geo. Yant ,
the engineer , vouches for it. A
farmer near the town has a prize
cow that has always been kept in
the best condition. Yet for a
time when she came home from
the pasture at night not a drop
of milk could be gotten from her.
This went on for several days
and baffled every effort of the
farmer to find a reason. This
much was observed , though , that
she went into a large pond of
water every day and stood
awhile. It was then observed no
milk could be gotten when she
came out. The farmer scratch
ed his head a moment. Next
morning when that cow went to
the pasture there was fixed to
her a net and over the udder fish
hooks of various sixes were at
tached. When she came out of
the pond that evening she had
about 50 pounds of fish hanging
to her suckers. At milking
time she gave the usual amount
of milk. Brown County World.

Superintendent Oliver's Opinion.
By request I write a few
thoughts in reply to three letters
niblished in the Palls City Trib
ute of last week.
It seems a little remarkable to
ne that out of the many letters
we hear about that have been
written concerning the resolution
) laced before the republican
county convention that three of
them should be selected for pub-
ication in the state and county
) apers. Three letters came to
this office from the same three
gentlemen. It seems at first
bought this may be for personal
lotoricty. There are some who
lave their objections to House
Koll No. 48. The law is not a
> erfcct one. There is room for
mprovemcnt. The claims made
n favor of the law are : Uni-
'ormity of grades ; a higher
standard for teachers and higher
vagcs for teachers. Examine
the law in the light of its opcr-
ition and you will find there islet
lot much in these claims. If
cnowlcdge of text books was all
the requirement and the only es
sential qualification for the good
teacher we might with propriety
jrant the first claim.
Uut there arc other things
equally essential- Character , tact
to govern and ability to teach are
lualilications equally essential
; uid important. These are en
tirely ignored. T It o answer
papers arc sent to the state house
with only a number written on
them to indicate the person. The
parties who grade these papers
liave nothing to indicate the
character of the individual ; noth
ing to indicate her abilitj' to lead
children ; nothing to indicate her
aptness to teach.
We will let Supt. Carrington
and his 110 teachers in the Ne-
maha county 'institute answer
the second , the high standard
for teachers. ' 'Whereas. The
new law has not affected the sup
ply of teachers in Nemaha county
in the least , there being more
now than there were last year ,
and Whereas , A lessnumber of
teachers failed under this than
have failed heretofore.
If the law raises the standard
of teachers it must eliminate the
poorer ones. This it may do by
frightening them away or by
making the examination so diffi
cult they cannot pass. Now the
law is very llexible. Much has
been said about the susceptibility
of the count } ' superintendent to
political influences. Of course
this does not apply to the state
superintendent. The office lifts
him above such thing ; the ordi
nary tilings of this mundane
sphere do not reach him any
more. After all , you will find
that he is made of about as com
mon clay as the rest of us.
You ma } ' recall that in January
of this year , and I think as late as
April , the state superintendent
published over his signature that
fifty per cent of the teachers
were failing.
They are not now. Why ?
You answer the question. If
apace and time permitted I could
point out some of the objection
able features of the law. I have
a very sick child at home , have
lost much sleep and have much
office work calling for my atten
tion. Before closing let me say ,
there are some good things in
this law. It is not all bad. When
I have less cares at home because
of sickness I may write more
fully upon this law.

Make It a Real Vacation.
The country learns sympathet-
cally that the president often
shows traces of nervousness and
iccds a long rest. Couriously
enough , that is the way we all
feel , and the longer the prcsi-
Icut's vacation the better will be
iiis health , and the health of all
of us. Mri Roosevelt will there
fore appreciate that entire good
will accompanies him to Oyster
Bay. The longer he stays there
: he more a great many will like
it. We shall read with interest
measurably free from anxiety
what be docs there. When he
cuts down trees and goes camp
ing with his boys he is commend
ing himself to the affections of
ill of us. We will not deny him
liis needs for the good he has ac
complished in his wrestle with ,
the octopus , and we arc sure he
intended none of the ill which
lias resulted-
Perhaps by next winter he will
appreciate that one thing well
done is better than several half
: loue , and that it is not necessary
that everything should be done ,
or even attempted , at once. Per-
liaps he sees now that instead of
making otic hand wash the other
iie has really made one hand
fight the other , and that he has
fought a drawn game rather than
a winning one , for there are off
sets to his achievements. He
will not have Russia and Japan
on his names this summer , and
he may forget everything except
his health until after , say New
Year's. He is not running for
anything this fall , and what
happens in the various states
need not engage his attention ,
lie will do his party no good by
meddling in Iowa or elsewhere.
A long and quiet vacation for
him and the nation is the cordial
wish of eighty millions and more.
