It might help your business to advertise if you do a business that you are not ashamed of. Some of the wildest people in town are those'you see with great pretentious of being orderly. The booming of cannon crackers and shooting blank shells in revolvers previous to and the night after the Fourth of July were not celebrat ing the 4th of July. It shows only a'cfelSre to be boisterous and noisy upon any excuse. Terry's Uncle Tom's Cabin tent show had a big crowd on Monday evening. The public never ex pects very much from an Uncle Tom's Cabin show , but it in en titled to something for its money. A poor play and worse actors was what it saw at Terry's. Not one redeeming feature in the whole show. Ains worth Star-Journal. Terry's Uncle Tom's Cabin tent show came and went. A big crowd went out to greet them on a rainy night , though this is .only common at Valentine. They'll go to see anything and pay better prices than are charged else where. What is said in the Ain. worth paper is true and perhaps several reasons might be given why this is gener ally so. It is an old play that had its star performers in its time , but every feature that could be en larged upon has been used in Un cle Tom's Cabin until talent and genius has been worn threadbare and only the ridiculous and silly imitations , distorting extremes , having neither enlightenemnt nor purpose , can be offered , with now and then a departure from the former high class play and degen erating into a lewd and ludicrous stage performance of the lower type and called special features. Gov. MicUey failed to pardon the two convicts recommended for pardon on the 4th of July. It is said that the supreme court re fused to concur or join with the other state officers in recommend ing a pardon. The chief justice gave as his reason , that the act , under which the governor was about to act , was unconstitutional because it attempts to deprive the governor of power to pardon or to limit his power in that direction , by requiring the approval of other state officers , including officers of a department other than the ex * cutive. After receiving Judge Holeomb's reasons , Gov. Mickey declined to pardon the two con victs whose names had been sub mitted to him by Warden Beemer with a recommendation that par * dons be issued under the act of the legislature authorizing1 the gov ernor to issue two pardons on the 4th of July , The law says such pardons "shall be issued upon the written recommendation of the warden , the attorney general , sec retary of state and the chief justice of the supreme court.5' Only prisoners having served ten , \ ears and ofpr are eligible" under this actllegardless of the fact that Jud c Holcomb has refused to concur in this act and declares it unconstitutional , the governor has been urged to issue the pardons upon liis own authority. It seems like boys play. Even the warden is anxious to have his pet criminals discharged and Hay.s it helps in the discipline to have these privileges offered , it surely will not help morals of our country to have 1 1 Feed grinder , fe 1 Slightly Used Wagon , feII 0 2 Two-way Pumps , A Lot of Native Posts. carry everything ii 'ie line of Building Material and Builder's Hardware ; such as Lath , Siding , Shingles , Doors , I Windows , Wails , Lime , Cement , which we buy in car load lots.

Look at the eastern daily papers and you will not wonder that there are many people clamoring for sane 4th of July celebrations. An in sane desire in some to be noisy and boisterous while others are an noyed should not hinder the people from declaring by a vote in the near future that a law should be favored prohibiting the use of ex plosives for celebrations except ing under the direction of the town board or mayor of a town , and then to confine the demonstrations - tions to one day only , beginning at sunrise July 4th and closing at 12 o'clock , midnight , of that day. Let July 4th bo cnnvno'iorafofl and celebrated but deplore ilie fact that it is degenerating into a day of wild ruffianism in which some people take a delight in making as much noise as possible , and an noy those who do not care to take part in the wild sport. Law and order should not tfait while boys run wild. ( 'haiivari Party W GRAND ISLAND , Xeb. , jny ] 2. Ten youths were arrested and arraigned - . i raigned in the police court last i night , one on the charge of assault and battery and the rest on the charge of disturbing the peace , all of them the result of carrying a , charivari too far. j j Mr. "Ernst Koth and Miss Elizabeth - ' beth Meininger were married at the home of .tne bride's relatives j j on the evening before. Justice1 | Garn , who is at the same time the ! : police judge , officiated at the wed ding1. The party had just com pleted the extending of congratu lations after tlio ceremony and was being seated ab a table to en joy the wedding supper when that which closely answers General Sherman's description of war brqke looe without. It appeared that every tin can in the country had been" mustered into service. The groom appeared as Usual but found the demands of the "sere'j nading" party somewhat high and ; undiplomatically suggested a compromise. It was rejected in } a manner to engender a spirit of rebellion rather1 than conciliation on rhe part of the groom. The justice appeared in front of the door , advised the youths to accept t the offer and go their way in pence 'leaving | ' the party to enjoy the privilege to which every citizen was entitled freedom from such Disorder. The youths indicated that they knew who the justice was but that they didn't give a cent. The justice left in his buggy to get a police officer and in the meantime the youths became busier than before. The groom happened to be sitting near the [ door and a big fellow named Mc- j Card , one of the leaders of the ! party , grabbed him by a nether I limb and pulled him out. The j bride proved her new position in sharing the joys and sorrows of her liege lord by coming to his J ! assistance. But she was rudely I | handled also and thrown to mother earth. The guests seeing how far things were going , came out , made a Japanese rush and cleared the yard. State Journal. The Democratic national convention - vention met in St. Louis July 6. | Our news from there at the pres ent time is only as to preliminaries 1 and the probable candidate which , seems to be Judge Parker of New York. John Sharp Williams was elected temporary chairman and 'made ' a lengthy speech upon tak ing his chair. It is enknown what Bryan will do , whether he will ef fect a satisfactory compromise as to party platform. Some say he will _ bolt and nominate another ticket called the "Independent Dem ocratic.y& If so , THE DEMOCRAT will not follow him in this cam paign. We have cast our lot and if We are bdaten in our choice for president we will cling to our sen- jtiment but abide by the decision of the convention. Let majority rule'or we are not democrats. We can not say that Judge Parker is not a worthy man and backed by the majority of our party if he gets the nomination. The VALEN TINE DEMOCRAT will support the regular nominee at St. Louis , be lieving that the delegates there have been regularly elected and will have done their duty in mak ing1 a choice.
