What is the mattei with Ne
braska? lias she gone to the
d (democrats) entirely?
You have heard the democrat
ic promises in this campaign.
Watch for their tulfillment.
Nebraska has beaten one of
its best governors, or rather the
railroads and brewers did it.
Let us settle (juietly down
to business now and cease to be
partisans and let us be citizens.
Richardson county treated
Mr. Bryan royally. What it
will do in 1912 is not yet known.
It is better to have been on
the sight side and lost than to
have been the on wrong side and
won.
{senator Cain, we will call
him now. While he lost Rich
ardson county, he won nicely in
the district.
We are assured four more
years of republican rule. The
result is a compliment to the
judgment of the American
people.
Our highly esteemed can now
safely return to its former motto:
“For President in 1012, W. J.
Bryan.” It’s a good thing to
vi* to.
SVhat do you think of Mis
souri going republican and Ne
braska going Democratic? It is
nuite a change for these two
states. Hurrah for Missouri.
ft has been hilly illustrated
that a pony keg and a tin cup

fthteiriection of Cnas. Hughes
j* governor of New York state
apd Herbert S. Hadly as gover
nor of Missouri is a splendid
'.xibute not only to the men
eiteted but to the good judg
ment of the voters of those two
states. Still the people rule.
While Robert Cain passed
through the fire in Richardson
county, where he was reared to
Manhood, slightly singed, the
^ood people of Pawnee county
saw his worth and placed him
at the head of the ticket. We
tan assure them that his acts in
the next legislature will never
give them cause to regret it.
Mr. Cain is one of the cleanest,
ablest and most worthy young
men in the county and had it
not been for the fact that he
stood squarely for county option
would have received a splendid
Majority in his home county.

HURRAH FOR "'AFT
According to Hoke Smith,
this was a crisis in our Nation
and it i» past. The affairs of
our country will still be in the
hands of those who have been
tried and not found wanting.
Thanks that the general apathy
of republicans, and the Bryan
mesmerism, which prevailed
this state did not extend to
some of the others.
The old adage ol “A Man of
Words and not of Deeds,” has
surely been demonstrated in
this campaign. This nation
has nearly always chosen for its
leaders men of action, men who
have achieved something and
they surely have made no mis
take this time. Even Grover
Cleveland had been governor of
the great state of New York.
While in the words of our J.
Sterling Morton, Father of Ar
bor day, “They did not choose
to elect as president a man, who
as a lawyer never had a client,
as u statesman never framed a
bill, as a colonel never tired a
gun.”
Thanks, that as a nation we
say “Protect our home indus
tries. keep our home markets,
have good prices for our prod
ucts and our labor, and last but
not least a full dinner pail.”
HUGHES
The campaign just closed has
created one national figure in
addition to those already before
the people—Clias. Evan Hughes
of New York. Taft and Bryan,
of course, were already known.
The development of the canvas
did not materially change the
estimate in which they were held.
But events revealed Hughes to
the nation as lie had been known
before to only a single state.
At the beginning of the cam
paign the New York governor
was widely regarded as an able
but austere, frigid and snobbish
man of narrow mind and limited
range of ideas. With his great
speech opening the canvass at
Youngstown the nation began to
open its eyes. His wonderful
campaign through the West and
the brilliantly aggressive fight
with which he closed in New
York completed the transforma
tion of public opinion
The country knows today that
it has in Hughes a powerful,
hard hitting and progressive
leader, of wide sympathies and
clear vision, who rank with
Roosevelt and Taft as an expo
nent of the Square Deal. He
has not only carried New York
state. He has conquered the na
tion.—Kansas City Star.

BOLD ROBBERY
STELLA VISITED BY BURGLARS
LAST FRIDAY EVENING
Drug Store and Jewairy Store En
tered and Large Amount of
Goods Taken
The following report of the
burglarv at Stella last Friday
night is furnished by our regu
iar correspondent:
A robbery took place here
about 1 or 2 o'clock Friday mor
ning in the Adams & Martin
drug more. Tbeo, Schutz had
his jewelry shop m the store
and it was his business 1 hat
suffered. The safe was blown
open and the contents taken.
The goods and trinkets which
were in the show case were un
touched, 'I lie loss was about
glubO. Auains & Martin lost
about $]0() worth of their best
china which was broken by the
explosion. i'he robbers broke
into the store from the front
door by breaking out the lower
part of tlie plate glass door.
They went out the back door.
On their way to the depot they
drooped many' articles which
were found the following-morn
ing. No one heard the noise of
the explosion and several slept
near the store. One young man
who came in town about one
o’clock, says that he saw' two
strangers standing in front of
te blacksmith shop, and think
ing it might be some of the
boys when he first saw7 them, lie
tried to meet them, but they
kept their backs turned towards
him. He became suspicious and
went to bis store to see if bad
been broken into and then watch
ed them for a few minutes, and
when be went to the hotel the
men dodged behind the corner.
The young man could not an
derstand their actions but did
not summon anyone. Four
men suspected have been arrest
ed and taken to Falls City,
where they are lodged in jail.
Monday Mrs. O. E.Higgins tele
phoned that a man was near a
rock quarry acting very strange
and wanted the marshal to
bring some help and investigate
the matter.
A bunch of men headed by the
marshal went out and found
where he had been but no man
could be found. One man was
arrested at this place^’at the
depot Saturday noon by Sheriff
Fenton and kept in jail until
Sunday noon. A party of
masked men and boys took the
prisoner from the jail Saturday
night and attempted to make
him own to the robbery of the
store or who did it. They call,
ed the deputy marshal out and
overpowered him taking the
keys and getting the prisoner.
They proceeded to a telephone
pole where they placed a rope
around his neck and hung him
up. They went through this
performance three times, and
unable to get anything out of
him he was returned to the cell.
This report came to us from one
who appeared to know what he
was talking about, and it is
thought that every member in
the gang is known who took
part.

CHEAP AND WHOLESOME FOOD
Three Square, Palatable Meals That
Can Be Provided for Nine
Cents a Day. '
'I he health board's experience last
'.vinl r with the unemployed in the
lodging houses and improvised shel
ters has led it to the firm conclusion
that, given careful management,
wholesale buying, good use of nui
i.rials and other conditions, three
- |U..rc, wholesome, palatable meals a
day may be furnished for less than
n:rie cents a day. On the ninc-ccnt
basis the blessings of a hath, a doctor
in case of need and a clean bed were
raided to the solution of the food
problem.
An examination of the daily menu
pri M-rilied causes no disappointment.
A breakfast of bread and butter, cof
fee (with sugar), and molasses is de
cidedly satisfactory. It is, in fact,
the must-praised “continental”
breakfast slightly modified, and the
question of its sufficiency resolves it
self into one of quantity and quality.
\\ here these are adequate the reason
able man will be entirely reconciled.
The same may he said about the
dinner and the supper. Of course,
man does not live bv meat stew alone
for dinner, or mutton soup thickened
alone for supper. He craves some
variety. But no doubt science and
art are equal to the solution of this
problem, too, after their success with
the paramount problem of cost.—
('hicago Record-Herald.
LOOKING AHEAD.
“Now that I have provided you
with a good dinner,” said the kind
lady, “will you saw some wood for
me ?”
“.Madam," replied the hobo from
Boston, “nothing would afford me
more pleasure than abbreviating tim
ber for you, but in behalf of posteri
ty 1 am compelled to decline.”
“But what has posterity got to do
with it?” queried the k. 1.
“It’s like this, madam,” explained
the self-conducted tourist. “With the
revolutions of the whirligig of time
mv grandchildren may become multi
millionaires, and if their daughters
have occasion to purchase titles it
will be so much more pleasant for
them to be able to say that their
great-grandfather was a gentleman
of leisure instead of a common wood
sawyer.”
COTTON SEED OIL INDUSTRY.
In the great cotton belt of the
south are 848 mills engaged in crush
ing cotton seed for its oil and other
products. In,these mills are 2,608
presses and in connection with them
2,752 gin-stands and 3,126 linters.
It is estimated that in the produc
tion of cotton seed oil and by-prod
ucts more than $85,000,000 is in
vested.
The mills annually use about
t,000,01)0 tons of seed, costing about
$60,000,000. When made into oil,
cake, hulls and linters and other
products its value is about $90,000,
000. At the present time hut little
more than half the total seed prod
uct of the country is crushed.—Pop

ALMOST AS BAD.

Mr. Auto—Was that your automo
bile that ran away?
Mr. Gasoline—No; but it was my
wife that ran away in that automo
bile.
UNDOUBTED FACT.
_
“Jim’s boy is home from college
and he’s that smart nothin’ or no
body flustrates him,” said the boy’s
aunt, admiringly. “The other day
when old Mrs. Fluster asked him
what caused such unusual heat, he
said right off it was due to a surplus
of caloric in the atmosphere.”
LITTLE WALDO.
“Oh, baby!” exclaimed the Bos
ton mother, “what does make you
cry so?”
“I really cannot say,” was the un
expected answer. “I have never in
dulged in introspection.”
WANTED TO KEEP A CUTTING
High Compliment Paid Visiting Amer
ican Cleric by English
Gardener.
A clerical correspondent of the
Church Family Newspaper vouches
for the following: A distinguished
American bishop, a man of fine
physique, preached a very powerful
sermon in an ancient parish church
in the midlands of England the
other Sunday morning. One of the
features of this church is an old
beadle who is noted for the quaint
ness of his sayings and the trim ap
pearance of his garden. After the
morning service the vicar said:
“Well, what did you think of the
bishop from across the water?”
“Ah, sir,” was the beadle’s reply,
“one of the best sermons ever
preached in this church. He is a
grand "tin; pity we can’t strike some
cuttings from him before he goes
back to America.”
THE DIFFERENCE.

Doctor—You are certainly in a bad
3tate. Go to bed at once. I shall
have to visit you about tt:ee times
a day.
Patient—It's a good job I joined
the club, then.
Doctor—A club patient—why didn't
you say so? 'Urn, there’s not much
the matter, after all, take a glass of
cold water every morning. Good-day?
LARGEST MOUNTAIN LION.
The largest mountain lion ever
killed in southern California was
shot recently by William Dewey of
Riverside.
Dewey, who had been staying at
Camp Bavnham in San Antonio
Canon, was walking on the trail to
“Old Baldy” with two companions.
When about two miles from camp,
as the party approached Telegraph
Peak, Dewey saw the huge beast
standing on a ledge 15 feet above
them. Without a word to his com
panions Dewey raised his rifle and
fired with deadly effect and the lion
rolled down the slope to the trail,
lying at Dewey’s feet almost before
his surprised companions had time
to turn about.—Claremont corre
spondence Dos Angeles Times.
WOMEN OYSTER GATHERERS.
The work of oyster collecting and
culture is most unsuitable for wom
en, hut in France, owing to its tedi
ous nature, it does not appeal to
men.
Often from an early hour in the
morning till late into the evening
the women art* standing up to the
knees in water, with a strong sun
heating down on them. The result
is that never a year passes withoul
some of them going mad and having
to be hurried away to the asylums.
The work is well paid, as indeed
it ought to be. while in the case of
the few who own beds the profits are
large and small fortunes are quickly
amassed.—Woman’s Life.
OUT OF HARMONY.
“The sounds of the city streets are
like the sounds of the country,” said
the woman. “The screech of the
pulleys as the washerwomen draw in
the lines is like the song of birds.
The whirr of the elevated if you lis
ten enough, is like the waterfall
over the mill dam. The electric fans
at the cafes are like the humming
of bees. The cry of the ‘E cash
does!’ man has the guttural sound
of the bullfrog. But the yell of the
‘line-up’ man is like nothing on the
earth, above the earth, or under the
waters thereof.”—N. Y. Press.
LARGEST KNOWN FLOWERS.
The largest known flowers are
those of the rafflesia, a plant which
grows in Java. This cuplike flower
is over a yard in diameter, each of
its five round, bright red petals be
ing about a foot across. The flower
weighs over 14 pounds, smells like
putrid meat and is visited by carrion
loving flies. The rafflesia is a para
site on the roots of other plants. In
stead of stems, leaves and roots, it
has a fungus-like network of fine
threads running through the ‘‘host”
plant, and the huge flowers burst out
and appear above ground.
