The silver issue may be dead as is claimed , but it beats all how some people are scared at the corpse. The butchers of O'Neili were never known to sell diseased meat before D. Clem Deaver moved to the place. Senator Hoar's speech on the Phil- ipine bill makes a mighty interesting campaign document for the demo crats. W. H. Thompson haa filed a certifi cate with the secretary of state star- ing that his nomination did. not oust him anything. Rosewater is ti nting the republic an ticket in the supreme 'court and supporting it in uis paper , ihcrc's consistency lor you. D. Clem Deaver tried to } > et a re traction from the .Nebraska Inde pendent and instead ui retracuuj- was roabicil uardcr than ever , iuat is the Ubual style ui a. ict.ra.cuuu. Tnid paper ia lerninat reorganiza tion , ll we should ever timd it neces sary to njjnt tuc democratic party we will change tne name 01 tne paper and make an nuuest fight , Dut tnis is among tne impossibilities as long as the democratic party remains the party oi the people. The republican state committee and the candidates held a love leaat recently and alter iiiiiny eacn otner warm air ail the evening tney mod estly claimed the state by 20,000 to 30,000. Counting votes before they are cast is as uncertain as counting chickens before they are natched. An Indiana democrat complains be cause the party did not have a bin ' - campaign fund in 1896 and 1900 and blames the editor of the Commoner for it. Well , we could have collected as much from the trusts as the com mittee did in 1892 if we had been wil ling to mortgage the party to the trusts as it was mortgaged in 1892. Commoner. W. II. Thompson , Citizen. The Grand Island Independent , one of the leading republican papers of the state , has the following to say of our candidate for governor : "The Nebraska democratic and populist state convention did an hon or to Grand Island in placing in nom- inotion for governor , Hon , W. H. Thompson of this city. It has been many years since this city has had a candidate for a leading state office. But the democrats and populists of Nebraska did something more , in placing in nomination for governor this fellow citizen of ours. They did credit and honor to themselves. "William H. Thompson came to Grand Island from Polk county , Iowa , in June , 1881. In the twenty-one years that have passed since that time he has not only made a success of his life professionally and finan cially , but he has endeared himself into the hearts of his townsmen and , it may safely be said , holds as high a position in the esteem of the general public , in the esteem of his fellow cit a izens and neighbors , as any other one man. While some of his neighbors differ with Mr. Thompson along polit ical lines Mr. Thompson is one of the first men to give fullest credit for t < honesty In conviction tc those who t ! differ from him none of hia fellow T ; citizens , it is the conviction of the s : Independent , would knowingly permit any statement calling into question , Pt in the least degree , his fine ability , Ptl < his ilrcogtb of character and hte ia- tl tegrity , to go unchallenged. A clean er , abler , more consciencious man could not have been iound. "It is for this reason that Nebraska fusionists did honor to themselves in uniting upon Mr. Thompson as the standard bearer of their party. And the Independent feels that none of his republican fellow citizens , neigh bors and friends are inclined to , or ought to , say less. " No Bereavement A western paper has become weary of the customary resolutions of con dolence and suggests the following form as more truthful : WHEREAS , Bad whisky , late hours and natural cussedness have at last got away with Brother John Smith , ' ' therefore be it ] . , . \ , Resolved , That in his loss this So ciety sustains no loss whatever , but on the contrary a substantial and timely relief for which we should feel thankful Resolved , That his wife and child ren are in big luck and haye ample cause to rejoice that he can never abuse and disgrace them any more , and the general public are well rid of a possible luture subject for the tar bucket or rope. Resolved , That Divine Providence never had anything to do with Broth er John Smith , therefore it ia not ac countable for hia death , and we ten der our sincere congratulations to his wife and family in this , their fortun ate relief and the blessed opportunity given them for future happiness and prosperity. Card of Thanks We desire to extend our heartfelt thanks to the many friends who lent their kindly assistance during the ill- iiess and at. the death of our wife and sister. SAM. TBACEWJBLL , S. B. TRACEWELL AND FAMITY. ADDITIONAL LOCAL Al. Thacher put in a few days at the Springs. Max Viertel was down from Crookston , Monday. Teachers' institute will com mence August llth and continue two weeks. The board of supervisors are checking up the books of the county treasurer this week. A Lincoln engineer has been here several days establishing a grade and figuring on the best outlet for drainage. U. G. Dunn spent a day or two with his family in Valentine and returned to his work on E. Spares' new residence in Cody. Mrs. S. S. Bullard , of Kosebud , will visit for a month with friends in Kearney and orders the DEM OCRAT sent to that address. Jos. Clements , of Sioux City , formerly a teacher in the Indian school , visited old friends here and returned home this morn ing. Some doctors say flowers in a bed room are unhealthy and some say they are heal thy. Others say nothing about it but charge it up in the bill. Dr. Casteline , of Graef , John son county , is getting rich too fast and will start a newspaper bo reduce his surplus. The plan is usually effective. F. -Davenport , the expert iime lock man of Omaha , < was in town yesterday. He has in his 3are nearly all the bank locks in } his and adjoining states. Wm. Epke was down from Urookston , Tuesday , wearing an ilegant limp. He had a little nisunderstanding with a horse ind came ou second best. M. Jelly , of Sparks , was a pleas- int caller at these headquarters , vlr. Jelly does not agree with his paper on politics but he is tot a crank on the subject. The M. W. A. of Crookston will lave a dance tomorrow evening rith a supper served by the Roy- 1 Neighbors. Of course they rill have a good time theyal- rays do. O. W. Morey went fishing yes- arday and returned with a fairy lie about getting into a nest of attlesnakes and hearing them ing. When a man reaches the oint where he hears snakes sing 3 him it is about time to sign Walt Mason says that any man who is married to a poetess is deserving of a great deal of sym pathy. Does he speak from ex perience ? Charley Broderson , a traveling missionary for the Metz brewery of Omaha , was in town last Fri day. He is-an old friend of the DEMOCRAT'S devil and they had a social visit. The Modern Woodmen of Val entine expect to introduce the Oriental degree in the near fu ture and they will journey across the sands of , the desert in true oriental style. O. W. Morey bought a medal of an Indian who visited town this week that is evidently a rare piece. It is made of silver , near ly two inches in diameter , and was presented by the govern ment to some good Indian in 1789. The president presented the Pope with copies of his literary productions and the Pope will send a handsome mosaic in re turn. Now let Secretary Hay forward a sample copy of "Little Breeches" and see what kind of a prize he will draw. Miss Taylor , the western girl who was bounced from a govern ment clerkship out into the cold , cold world for the awful crime of criticising President EooseBelt's speech on "the flag must stay put , " has obtained a writ of man damus or some other kind of pro fanity to compel Secretary Root to reinstate her. She claims he is discriminating against the right of free speech. " " AUTHORS' BLUNDERS. Some Mistakes In Which the Moon , San and Wind Figure. The moon proves a terrible pitfall to most writers. Wilkie Collins once per formed the marvelous feat of making It rise in the west. Rider Haggard , In "King Solomon's Mines , " relies for the effective rendering of one of his most thrilling scenes upon an eclipse of the new moon. Coleridge placed a star-between the horns of the crescent moon , forgetting that to be visible in such a position the star would have to be between the' earth and the moon or , say , 230,000 miles away only. Next to the moon perhaps the sun Is responsible for more glaring errors than flny single concrete cause. At the beginning of a certain famous nov el , the title of which a few years back was In everybody's mouth , an invalid character's room whs said to have been lighted by one window looking directly toward the east. Yet at the end of the book , when the invalid dies , the author , wishing to make him de part this life In a flood of glory , suf fuses this eastern windowed room with "the red glare of the setting sun. " Kingsley , too , made One of his heroes row out into the eastern ocean after the setting sun. But even this glaring absurdity has been capped. In a novel published by a well known iSrm there occurs the following passage , the scene being laid on board a big sailing ship : " 'How's the wind ? ' asked the skip per. 'East-northeast , ' replied the mate , glancing at the masthead pennant , which was streaming blithely In the direction Indicated. " So that in the world , according to novelists , we should not only find the sun setting in the east , but pennants would "stream" against the direction of the prevailing wind. A TOPSY TURVY ROOM. A Frenchman Who riaj-u Practical Joke * on His Gnestfl , A "topsy turvy roomwrites a cor respondent , not Illusory , but actually BO built , existed near Paris some years ago and may still exist. One who saw it thus describes It and the use to which It was put : "I was the guest of the owner of the house , " he says , "from Saiurday to Monday. He was a bachelor , very convivial in his tastes , and we were a very jolly party of men. When we woke up , about 2 o'clock on the Sunday morning , one of our num ber , sound asleep on the couch in the billiard room , was carried out like a log by a couple of servants , My host gave me a solemn wink and tpld me that If a sudden summons came I was to rush from my bedroom or else I might miss a sight worth seeing. I wanted nothing but sleep and was re t ! lieved when the summons came to find n that It was broad daylight. * "Yawning , I followed the valet and found myself , with four others , silent ly peeping through little holes in the wall. The scene was absurd , ridicu 81 lous. A dazed man slowly waking to 81PI full consciousness was lying on a plas.- tered floor , looking up in horror at a carpeted celling. Two heavy couches , an easy chair , chairs and tables se ti curely fastened etapefl down at him titc from above. The man's eyes at last tc ested on a flowerpot directly over his tcCJ bead , from which a flaring rose , ap- CJ mrently real , was blooming. He gave CJW i cry and , rolling over , grasped with 'renzied hands the stem of the chande- ler , which came up through the floor. Clio host burst into the room , with a oud laugh. 'They all do It , ' he cried. E They fear they will fall up to ttfe ceil- In 1 FOOD AND THE SEXES. The aialc Human Xeed.i to Eat Mora Than the Female. According to a writer in the Lancet , the male human needs more food than the female not only on account of his larger stature , but also because he is the more katabolic of the two. The man tends to expend energy and the woman to store it up in the form of fat ; he burns the faster. This sexual difference shows itself in the very blood. The man has a larger percent age of .chromocytcs than the woman , showing that he needs a proportionate ly larger quantity of oxygen in order to maintain his more active combus tion , a fact which one may associate with his comparative freedom from chlorosis. Moreover , weight for weight , his pulmonary capacity is greater than that of the woman , whose smaller re spiratory need is further shown by the facility with which she can without discomfort diminish her breathing power by means of the corset. "The great contrast between the metabolic activity of the two sexes , " continues the writer , "was forcibly brought home to me by a military dis play given by a troop of dusky ama- zous , with whom were also a few male warriors. The women , in spite of their daily exertions , were all rounded and plump , some very much so , no single muscle showing through the skin , and It was'noticed that their movements , though full of grace , lacked energy and 'go. ' The men , on the other hand , were spare , their muscles standing out plainly under the shiny skin , and they , In further contrast with the women , displayed a truly amazing agility , bounding about and whirling round In a most astounding fashion. The wom en , In short , were essentially anabolic , and the men were katabolic. I may here draw attention to the fact that men are apt to be larger meat enters than women , just as they are , possibly In consequence of this very fact , more prone to drink alcohol and to smoke tobacco. " SLEEPING HEROES. Blighty Men of the Pnt That Are Expected to Return. Is there any race that has not its Bleeping hero ? A correspondent re cently pointed out that the time for the fulfillment of the prophecy that the tenth of Krishna will restore to India her independence is near at hand , and every nation has sonic such savior to whom the people look. West country rustics still believe that Arthur did not die , but sleeps in Avalon , and that in the hour of Britain's need he will awake , deliver the land and restore the golden age. In Germany it is a popular belief that Charles V. will some day wake from his enchanted sleep to reign over Germany , Spain , Portugal , Denmark , Belgium and Hoi- , land. Thousands of French peasants ' hold that Napoleon is only sleeping and that at some future time he will ; reappear and rule. And Mr. Newbolt has enshrined the Devon legend that Drake is only listening for the drum. The Irish peasantry steadfastly re fuse to believe that Mr. Parnell is really dead. They assert that his death was a ruse , that he was an interested spectator of his own funeral and that when the time comes he will emerge from retirement to give Ireland her in dependence. Every true Moslem be lieves that when antichrist appears Mohammed Mohadi will awake and conquer him. A Moorish legend de clares that Bobadil el Chico sleeps spellbound near the Alhambra and that ono day he will awake to re-es- ' tablish the Moors as rulers of Grana da. The Servians look to King Lager , slain by the Turks in 13S9 , as their final hope , and should Switzerland be again threatened by tyrants Swiss folklore declares that the three mem bers of the Tell family who are sleep ing at Rut HI , near the Vierwald- Staten-gec , will rise from their en chanted slumber and maintain tho freedom of tho land.
