BRYAN'S CRY OF CORRUPTION
It has always been one of Mr.
Bryan's characteristics to accuse
his opponents of corruption.
Those who have had the courage
to stand out and oppose him or
his opinions have been denounced
as corrupt or disloyal , The John
son followers have been accused
by him ol using money in their
effort to prevent his nomination
for president. As a climax to all
of this we have the word of
Chairman Day of the democratic
state committee that the IJryan
men spent $10,000 , in Jlenncpin
county alone in the effort to pre
vent Mr. Johnson from securing
the delegation from Ins home
state. Mr. Day further says : "I
never saw such a campaign of
defamation and debauchery of
votes as was carried on by this
same crowd,1' referring to the
Uryan followers. "Why , they
spent $10,000 in Ilenncpin county
alone. What they did is without
record in the history of Minnesota
seta politics. "
The injunction that those who
live in glass houses should throw
no stones , would be a wise one
for these fellows to remember.
It is time for someone to an
nounce that "the drouth is brok
en. "
Ilumboldt should be proud of
its school boy band. When we
heard it on the street Saturday
morning we wondered what had
become of Falls City's band. We
have a band stand but no one tc
toot the horn.
We now have a public parl
with plenty of nice shade tree :
and a large auditorium that wil
comfortably seat several thouS'
and people. Why not throw il
open to the public on July 4 , am ;
have a genuine celebration ?
The continued improvement it :
ex-President Cleveland's hcaltli
is the source of no little satisfac
tion to the public. No muttci
how the American people maj
differ politically , but few ol
them wish any misfortune tc
their president or ex-presidents. .
It is to be hoped that Mr. Cleve
land may live many more years
to enjoy the public esteem.
If present indications holt
true , this city will have severa
blocks of paved streets bcfon
this time next year. It is hopei
that the paving movement wil
not be permitted to take a back
ward step. The paving of onlj
three blocks of the main strce
will be a great step forward fo
the town and all property owner
and business men should do thci
part to push this movement unti
something is accomplished alon ]
| ! that line.
The treatment given inebriate
at the inebriate asylum at Lit
coin proves to be a success i
many cases. One argumeu
made against sending inebriate
to that asylum is that they ai
apt to again take to drink. ' .
may be true , but there would u <
be one-half the trouble alon
that line if it were not for tl
villians who continually tern ]
them. We are told of an instant
where a man returned from trea
uient and had not been hou
more than an hour or two tint
an old soak went to him with
bottle and tried to undo all th
had been done by the state to t
form the man. A prompt app
cation of a ball club or bail
stick to the cranium of a man
that kind would be a very ei
cient remedy. The public
somewhat to blame for many
these evils.

Have you ever stopped to ob
serve that it is the man who ad
vertises who has a successful
business ? Horace Grcely's ad
vice was "go west , young man ,
and grow up with the country. "
Another bit of good advice would
be , advertise , young man , if you
would succeed.
By Saturday evening of this
week all of the delegates to the
Republican national convention ,
which is to be held in Chicago in
June , will have been selected.
Secretary Taft's political man
agers , who seem to understand
the situation , claim more than
enough votes for the secretary on
the first ballot to nominate. It
is not probable that there will be
any change in the situation be
tween then and the time of the
convention which will in any way
endanger Mr. Tail's chances of
nomination. It is doubtful if
any of the other candidates will
receive more than a compliment
ary vote. The only great ques
tions which will be left for the
convention are the selection of a
candidate for vice president and
the drafting of a platform.
Library Notes.
Miss MacDonald , kindergarten
teacher , gave a library partto
thirty-seven of her little folks
Thursday afternoon. They spent
the time looking at the pretty
picture books and inspecting the
library , while our librarian told
them stories.
On Monday afternoon Miss Bow
ers accompanied twentj'-one of
her pupils to the libraryi where
she explained to them the work
ings of this valuable institution ,
and assisted them in selecting
books which would be of advant
age to them.
A number of new books have
been ordered which the librarian
hopes to have ready for circula
tion soon.
The tables and chairs for the
little folks is a great addition to
the comfort of the children , and
how they do enjoy them.
Takes Johnson to Penitentiary.
Sheriff Fcnton safely delivered
Johnson the burglar , to . the
warden of the penitentiary last
Thursday , which fact caused him
to give a sigh of relief. Johnson
was securely handcuffed before
they left here , but had the same
removed in a short time. He then
r
told the sheriff that he had made
several keys while in the jail here ,
with which he opened the locks
and while he was being searchei
had the same hid under his tongue
He gave Mr. Fcnton a number o
keys as souvenirs. Johnson is i
dangerous man and all were gla <
to get rid of him.

Sad Accident Near Stella.
The home of Mr. and Mrs.
Ephraim Withee of near Stella ,
is indeed a sad one , caused by
the horrible death of their little
son. The facts as we have been
able to gather are these ;
Mrs. Withee was doing her
washing on Monday morning ,
and left her work for a minute
to go up stairs , The little fel
low was playing on the iloor and
in some manner pulled the stop
per from the machine , and the
water poured over the lower
part of his body. The physi
cians , say , however , that the
burns were not severe enough to
cause bis death , but that the
fright produced heart failure.
The accident happened at 9 a.m. ,
and the little one seemed to be
resting easy up to the end , which
came at 4:30 : p. in.
Don Quiinby Withee was born
I January 18 , 1907 , and was an
uncommonly bright child , and
the pride and joy ol his fond
parents. He was .their only
L child , and with him goes the
prospects of a glorious 'future
which they had mapped out foi
him. But through all theii
sorrow there is a comfort ir
f knowing that he has been spared
I the many trials of a wickec
world , and that his soul was
f taken back in all the purity ii
which it was given.
The funeral services were holt
II in Stella and interment was ii
Prairie Union cemetery.
The many friends here extent
y 'sympathy to the sorrowing ones
r Little Don was a grandson o
iMr. . and Mrs. John Hossack o
this city.

Tbe Court House Squirrels.
During the winter and spring a
iair of the court house squirrels
lave been nesting in a hollow
imb of an old cotton wood tree in
: he yard of Judge Reavis. The
ittle lady squirrel has been stay
ing pretty close at home for some
time , but last Sunday morning
she came out for an airing and
brought with her four tiny baby
squirrels that seemed all tail and
liead. She plucked a few elm buds
From a neighboring tree and the
little fellows pawed and clawed
for a chance at the delicate mor
sels. After feeding them the pro
cession returned to the hollow
limb for the youngsters to get
something to wash their breakfast
down with , and then returned to
the open air , where the children
lay on a limb in the sunlight all
the forenoon. This interesting
family is being guarded closely
and stray dogs get a warm recep
tion from the children of the
neighborhood.
