"We may now expect J. W. II
wccsc 6f Lincoln to come o
against Sedgwick because he
too favorably inclined to the ra
roads-
!
| It may be worth while to a
vice the Journal that every bridi
!
constructed bv its man McCr ;
and on which such a saying w
made has been swept away in t
recent Hood , and new bridg
will have to be constructed.
Now are you not proud of o
baud ? The concerts it has be
giving at the chautauqua ha
been splendid musical treats. T
Verdon people may expect a trc
when Mr. Harnaclc takes this t
cellcnt crowd of musicians up
the Pioneer picnic.
To look at the political n
nouncements appearing in 1 :
week's issue of The Tribune o
would think wo were running
democratic paper. The repul
j can candidates will probal
overcome their modesty befc
the campaign is over.
The Burlington railway i
tacked the constitutionality
the law creating the railw
commission just as soon as t
commission served notice th
the freight rates in this sta
were too high. The Supret
court decided against the ra
road and in favor of the cotmn
aion. The judge who wrote t
opinion was Sedgwick. Will t
Journal with its pockets full
B. & M. passes tell the voters
this county who pay exhorbita
freight rates why it is fighti
Sedgwick ?
The Supreme court settled t
law of Hood waters in this st :
in a case that went from tl
county. The law as settled
that a railroad cannot build
embankment across the vail
and flood the adjoining land p
prietor without paying the da
age thereby created. The lej
end of the Journal was one of t
lawyers for the Burlington
this case. The judge who sigr.
the opinion bears the name
Sedgwick. Will the Journal t
the farmers on the bottom win
crops have been destroyed by 1
B. & M. enbankment why it
fighting Sedgwick ?

Thompson when a member
the gang was a candidate for tl
state senate. The member , ho'
ever , voted for Thompson aft
election.
A few self serving individuc
are seeking to stem the tide
favor of Judge Sedgwick by sen
ing out printed matter favoral
to Judge Reese. The writer su
ported Judge Reese in two sta
conventions and worked for 1
election. I have known him f
many years and would not sti
tify myself by saying anythii
derogatory to his character or 1
ability. He is an excellent mateo
too good to lend himself to t
gang now behind him. Jud
Sedgwick is in every essenti
the logical candidate. He h
served his first term. His opi
ions are models as legal doc
ments , his fairness to every bu
ness interest is notorious , his ri
scholarship is universally i
knowledged and his integrity
questioned only by those vandr
who are so unfamiliar with clu
acter as to be unable to recogni
it when it is present.
Gov. Cummins speech la
Tuesday was pretty radical b
it was pretty good stuff just t
same. To understand just lu
true Gov. Cummins is and to u
derstand why it is that he w
elected to a third term , the on
time such an event ever happen
in Iowa , it might be well to sta
that when he first went into t
governor's office he resigned t
position of general attorney f
the Rock Island railroad. T
railroads felt that they had
triend in the new governor , a :
they had so far as legitima
railroading was concerned. T
governor served notice on the
that he was now in the empl <
of the people of Iowa and frc
that day to this he has never p <
mitted them to forget that fai
The railroads have tried to c
stroy him and last year spe
$250,000 to defeat him for rcno
ination but failed. Gov. Cu
mins expects to be elected to t
United States senate to succe
Senator Allison.
Primary Ruling.
The county clerk is in recei
of a communication from t
attorney general which seei
to settle the matter as to lu
township officers aretobenon
nated.
This does not agree with t
opinion published in the pape
some weeks ago but the coun
clerk will acton this advise a
will not print the names of c.i
didates for township officers
the primary ballot. They w
be nominated by caucuses as
former times. The letter frc
the attorney general reads
follow :
Lincoln , Neb. , July 15 , ' (
J. Hutchiugs , Esq. ,
County Clerk ,
Falls City , Nebr.
Dear Sir : I have your fav
of recent date , in which you a
some questions concerning t
primary law.
This law does not apply
township organization. Ho
ever , under the commission sj
tern precinct officers are non
natcd under the provisions
the primary law.
Yours very truly ,

St. Petersburg Postoffice Servlca /
tractive , dut Not Efficient.
The Slovo of St. Petersburg recei
ly abked Its readers : "Have you ev
noticed th.it the lady assistants
the general post olHce nt St. Pete :
burg arc almost without exceptl
good looking ? " Most people mlg
consider this a mere coincidence , I )
that this IB not the case is shown
Miss Petrowa , who writes to the nov
paper to toll how two friends of he
recently applied for clerkships In t
general post office. After a time , t
application papers were returned wl
a formal note to the effect that
present there were no vacancies. T
returned documents , however , :
vcaled marginal notes which had be
Imperfectly obliterated with rubb >
Ono read : "She looks to bo over i
Is small , plain and flabby. " On tether
other paper in microscopical char :
tors were the words : "Old ma
tall , bony. " The SIeve asks wt
might have been the marginal not
on the papers of successful candldal
and who are responsible for them ,
adds that the selection of youth a
beauty for this branch of the pub
service has by no means improved t
unsatisfactory condition of the gi
oral post oltlce.
KNEW BETTER THAN THAT
City Youth Could Believe Much t
There Was a Limit.
The younger son of a well-ltno1
politician of Chicago has spent prei
much all of his life In the big city
the lake , and , consequently , knows
tlo of country ways and things. lv
long ago he visited a man ho had n

farm near Cairo , whither he had

Real Forbidden Fruit.
In some countries there grows
kind of fruit belonging to the ah ;
dock family and which is commoi
called "forbidden fruit. " It is slmi
to grape fruit , but is larger and the
side Is somewhat coarser than the
llclous acid delicacy of which wo i
so fond. The name forbidden fr
was given on account of three di
brown stains , like finger marks , wh
invariably show on this variety of I
shaddock. The stains are close
gother on ono side and arc believed
bo the marks of Eve's fingers left
a brand on the apple whoso eatl

Forbidden fruit Is much liked by p
pie who arc able to get It fresh , 1
so far It has not been shipped abrc
as extensively as Its cousin , the gru
fruit and shaddock.
Great Land Owner.
The Duke of Northumberland la 1
largest land owner in England. I
estates stretch almost from sea to s

pearanco he is tall and thin , with r
dish hair and flowing whiskers. :
Is old-fashioned in manner , and she
many of the attributes of a gra
seigneur. And ho has all the prl
of the Percys and keeps up to the f
their Olympian traditions. He v
once heard to say : "You will have
go a long way back in our record
find a Percy who was cither Idle 01
spendthrift. " In religion he is an I
Inglto , like his father , and he I
converted the duchess to his own
lief.
