Whenever a democratic senator fuii > to note the insults of a republican sen ator the republican oi'gans accuse him of cowardice , and when ho does resent the insult ho is accused of brutality. It is unwise for a democratic senator to waste time trying to please the re publican orpans. Commoner. There is some prosperity in Pennsjl vania at last. The Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Co. have advanc ed the wages of the miners * . * ho din not strike 10 per cent. The raise will enable them to revel in tho luxury of dried apple pie OIICP or twice a 3fear. Had Cleveland and Ilili b nn half as anxious for harmony in 1896 as thr- are uow , this counti ) would huvt * $ ; om democratic by a handsome majority and the country would not now be suffering from a prosperity that is rep resented by a full diiinet pail with the bottom knocked out. Bryan was al right in Ib06 and he is still all right in 19U2. The Grand loland independent , a republican paper , speaks highly of W. 11. Thompson , the fusion nominee for governor. It gays : "Our citizeus would not permit any statement calling in question in the least degree his fine ability , his strength of character and his integrity , to go unchallenged. A cleaner , abler , more consciencious man could not have been found. " The republican papers lay great stress on the fact that Mr. ilickey was born on a farm and is a successful farmer. A great many people hav - been born on farms anJ are neither better nor worse because of it , but the fact remains that Mr. Mickey's pros penty did not really begin until he.vas elected to an office which he held for mauy years and his prosperity grew with his term of office. At the Tilden club banquet , held in New York last Thursday evening , Grover Cleveland and David B. Hill made speeches strongly pleading for democratic unity. Inasmuch HS these two men are responsible for the lack of harmony in the party , it looks as though it ought to be brought about without serious trouble. All that is necessary is for them to fall into the rear rank and march with the pro cession. Uatavia , ( Ohio ) Sun. Some one has calculated that a man getting $300 every day from the begin ning of the year 1 to the present time , and consuming none of "his earnings , would only just now have as much H- Mr. Roclileller has. Put it in aiiorh - > way , imagine a town containing 3 ( ) ( working people each earning $7 per week , the total wagwj earned by the people of the town in successive gener ations from the time of Christ until the present day , would not exceed the amount of Mr Km-kfeU-r' . , fortune , tl which is euer.litvsinuauul at about $200,000,000 The latest information from Wash ington is to the effect that State Sena tor Van Boskirk will not secure the ap pointment of receiver of the land office at'Alliance which was thought to be within his grasp. At the last session - of the legislature he was a persistent is supporter of D. E. Thompson for U. S. senator and it is said he was to be re warded by the appointment in the land office in his home town. But charges ! have been preferred against him in re al ti gard tq some homestead filings and his tin n apoointment has been hung up , for the tisi si present at least. Eimball Observer. to rLJUffiT : i jrtrTi-c-ra > i-tttn The few who arc defending Cleveland should not lose sight of the fact that bo is the only president that has gone into office a poor man and came out wealthy and this too in a time of financial do- ni j wont n thtv,4ji and ' . .oi tl : * * ar cumulations of years of toil and saving. ADDITIONAL LOCAL Prt > f. E. E. Crandall returned to Valentine last Friday and re mained over Sunday. G. W. Johnson , living twelve miles southwest of town , reports that the grasshoppers threaten to take his crops. riarman Balsh , a student of the "Wesleyan university , and his mother , spent a week with O. B. Church and family. The Ladies' Aid Society of the Presbyterian church met at the residence of Mrs. Levi Sparks Tuesday af ternpon. Mr. and Mrs. GW. . McFarlaud rejoice over the arrival of a new boy of the usual Nebraska size. He arrived on the 12th. Miss Hilda Belgard , who has been visiting with Miss Mabel Towne , returned to her home in Iowa Monday morning. P. Sullivan , one of the solia democrats of western Cherry , was in town Friday and of course he called on the DEMOCRAT. Miss Skirving , of Ainsworth , who has been visiting with Miss Stinard for a week , returned to hei home Saturday morning. Israel Mead , a prosperous Hall county farmer , committed sui cide Monday by taking carbolic acid. Family trouble was the cause. Levi Sparks has bought an in terest in the firm of Jackson & Brayton. The new name of the firm has not been given to the public. The weather clerk reports the mercury up to 105 Tuesday. This is the hottest since July 6 , 1889. when the mercury reached the same mark. A tornado gave James Broth ers' ranch , thirty miles south of Long Pine , a touch of high life , Sunday night. Several buildings were damaged. The W. C. T. U. entertained the Y and a number of invited friends at a parlor meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Northrup last Friday evening. Lena Rohwer , a Gretna girl , . threw herself in front of a train in Denver and was fatally injured. She had started for the moun tains in search of health. Twenty-two young people sur prised Miss Frances Harden at her home , Tuesday evening , it being her 17th birthday. Anum- ber of pretty and useful presents were received. Gejaerotu. jL woman the other day gave a Lon don cabman 2 sovereigns In mistake for 2 shillings. When he discovered the mistake , he returned to the house and handed over the money to the woman's husband , who , with tears In his eyes , said : "You shall not be a loser by your honesty , ray man. Your fare a was a shilling. Here' * one and fourT pence for you. " * a Am Ivyortoat < l Rlictiea. First Burglar What did yer take that brlckybrac for ? 'Tain't no good. Second Burglar 'Tain't ?

I'm the one tint suffers. la In oco of the euburbs of Paris a wealthy merchant died the other day , and on the evening of the funeral his neighbors witnct > d a curious cere mony. An hour before the body was to be taken to the cetneieiy the relatives of the dead man , five or els in number , went out into the pirden adjoining the house and walked solemnly and silent ly around it. Each carried a lantern and kept his eyes fixed on the ground , as though he were looking for some thing. Finally they all baited in front of a large pile of stones and , laying aside their lanterns , proceeded to throw down the pile. After every stone bad been removed they examined minutely the spot on which the pile had rested and then slowly and with bowed heads returned to the house. This is an old Norman custom , and it is observed in this instance because the dead man was a native of Gison. There U a tradition in Normandy that before burying a body all the ground around his dwelling should be searched in or der to make sure that the soul has not kldden itself somewhere. At one time every family In Normandy faithfully observed this tradition , but now only a pay heed to it. Tke Year 1SS1. The year 1831 was a chronological oddity of the oddest kind , besides being a mathematical curiosity seldom equal ed. From right to left and left to right it reads the same. Eighteen divided by 2 gives 9 as a quotient ; 81 divided by 9 gives 9 ; If divided by U , the quo tient contains a 9 ; if multiplied by 9 , the product contains two 9s ; 1 and 8 are 9 ; 8 and 1 are 9. If the 18 be placed under the 81 and added , the sum is 99. If the flgures be added thus 1 , 8 , 8 , 1 it will give IS as the result. Reading to the middle from right to left or from left to right It is 18 , and 18 is two-ninths of 81. By adding , dividing and multiplying ten 9s are produced , being one 9 for each year to the begin ning of the last decade of the nine teenth century. No wonder the fortune tellers , the as trologers and the mathematicians weave so many strange fancies around that curious combination of flgures. It may have been what induced Mother Shlpton to end her prophetic jingle with , "And at last the world to an end shall come in eighteen hundred and eighty-one. " A Wonder In Penmanship. Among the curiosities preserved by the Minnesota Historical society is a lithographed copy of an engrossment of the emancipation proclamation. The engrosser , one W. n. Tratt of Daven port , la. , was so very skillful in his manipulations of the pen that he suc ceeded , by careful and exact shading of the letters , In producing a very ex cellent portrait of Abraham Lincoln , the author of the famous document , in the center of the copy. In other words , the lettering itself is made to form a portrait of Mr. Lincoln , There were probably a large number of them orig inally struck off , but copies of It are now very rare. As a specimen of pen- work it is certainly very unique. " \Vood In Egyptian Stonework. Probably the oldest timber In the world which has been subjected to the use of man is that found in the ancient temples of Egypt in connection with the stonework , which Is known to be at least 4,000 years old. This , the only wood used in the construction of the temples , is in the form of ties holding the end of one stone to another. When two blocks were laid in place , an ex cavation about an inch deep was made In each block , in which a tie shaped like an hourglass if driven. It Is there- fore very difficult to force any stone from its position. Expense. A prince received from the house Bteward his monthly statement of ac- counts , In which occurred the item of 1.50 lire for the keep of a cat In tho palace. The prince immediately wroto In the margin , "If there are no rats in the house , it ia no good keeping a cat ; if there arc any rats , the charge for the keep of the cat IB superfluous. ' And he struck out the item. j A Succesi. E "Mrs. Bilkins learned to play poker to she could keep her husband in at night. " "And does he stay In now ? " "I should say so. She wins so much of his spending allowance that he hasn't the price of a drink. " Philadel phia Record. Frlma Facie Evidence. The late Lord Morris on one occasion gave a characteristic illustration of the s meaning of "prlma facie evidence. " "If , " he said to the jury , "you saw man coming out of a public house H wiping his mou-th , that would be priina i facie evidence that he had been having drink. " OntmaneHYered.

He began as a "cub" reporter while still a student in Mich igan university and finally advanced until the editor left him in charge of the paper on one occasion when he took a trip to Detroit. Two important local items were to be printed , one relating the sad demise of a young man of prominent family , the other telling how a traveling sales man had jumped his board bill at a local hotel. "Mac" had to write the headlines for these stories , and , after scratching his head , he evolved "Pass ed Away Quietly" for the obituary atory and "Jumped His Board Bill" for the hotel beat. "Mac" was proud of his achievement and , lighting a big cigar , leaned back in his chair and be gan to realize how it feels to be an editor. The man who "made up" the paper Bcanned the headings , transposed them , and the friends and relatives of the deceased read that he had "Jumped His Board Bill , " and the bereaved landlord learned that his late guest had "Passed Away Quietly. " New York World. Autumn Hnze. "Autumn haze , " says a meteorologic al expert , "is dust composed of the fin est particles of soil , dead leaves , smoke or ashes from wood fires , salt from ocean spray , the shells or scales from microscopic siliceous diatoms , germs of fungi , spores of ferns , pollen of flow ers , etc. In the still air of damp nights these dust particles settle slowly down , and the morning air is comparatively clear. During the daylight the sun warms the soil , which heats the adja cent air , and the rising air currents carry up the dust as high as they go. Under certain conditions this layer of dust reaches higher and higher each day. During long , dry summers in In dia it reaches to a height of 7,000 feet , with a well defined upper surface that Is higher in the daytime than at night. The reason why we have more of hazy weather in autumn is because there is then less horizontal wind and more ris ing air. " * A Homo Beyond the Grave. Dan , a colored man , was employed as porter In a mercantile establishment in a town in Florida , and his duties re quired him to have the store swept by 7 o'clock in the morning. He had been late for many mornings , and on the sixteenth consecutive time his employ er remonstrated with him thus : "Dnn , why can't you get here on time ? ' "Well. Mr. L. , " said Dan , "yer see , I live the other side of Mount Hermon cemetery and can't always get ycre on time. " "Why in the world do you live so far from your work ? " said his employer. Without a moment's hesitation Dan responded : "Yer see , it's dis yere way , Mr. L. I'll be hones' wid yer I wants a home beyond the grave. " Carlyle'a View of Aprons. Carlyle in his "Sartor Resartus' ' was able to find a deep philosophy in aprons. "Aprons are defenses against injury to cleanliness , to safety , to modesty , sometimes to roguery. From the thin slip of notched silk ( as it were , the em blem and beatified ghost of an apron ) which some highest bred housewife has gracefully fastened on to the thick tanned hide girt around him with thongs , wherein the builder builds and at evening sticks his trowel , or to those jingling sheet iron aprons wherein your otherwise half naked Vulcaus . hammer and smelt in their smelt fur nace , is there not range enough in the . fashion and uses of this vestment ? " Ancient Sacrifice * to the Sea. The navigators of antiquity , to whose , Imaginative ignorance the ocean seem ed peopled and beset with chimeras dire and supernatural agencies of all sorts , used often to sacrifice human lives to the mysterious water gods. It is regarded by tradition that Idome- ncus , king of Crete , vowed to sacrifice to Neptune the first living thing he met after escaping from a storm , and this happening to be his son he fulfilled his vow religiously. Medea nearly be came a sacrifice during the return voy age of the Argonauts. \ I < egal Xoticc In the County Court of Cherry coun ty , Nebraska.
