Sherman Ever Ready to
Knock Omaha.
Speaking today Congressman
Sherman of Xew York , who has
been nominated for vice president
on the republican ticket , Congress
man Hitchcock said :
"I know Mr. Sherman very
well. 1 might at one time have
said that I knew him to my sorrow
row , because when I first went to
congress four years ago I had a
hard struggle with him over the
appropriation for the Indian ware
house at Omaha. I won the fight ,
however , and we afterwards be
came better friends.
"He has been for many years
chairman of the comrrittee on
Indian affairs in the house of rep
resentatives. His committee re
ports * each year a bill carrying
several million dollars in Indian
appropriations. One of the items
which Congressman Mercer got
into the bill for several years was
an appropriation of § 10,000 for
the maintenance of a warehouse
for Indian supplies at Omaha.
"When I succeeded Mercer
Chairman Sherman determined to
punish Omaha for sending a demo
cratic congressman by dropping
the Omaha appropriation out of
the bill. He had an Indian ware
house in New York that he was
interested in maintaining because
he controlled the patronage.
Congressman Mann of Illinois was
interested in the Chicago ware
house and they wanted to squeeze
Omaha out. This would helpe d
both Chicago and New York , as
considerable Indian supplies are
purchased in Omaha.
l'I had to make the fight on the
floor of the house to get an amend
ment restoring Omaha , and I had
the help even of a majority of Mr-
Sherman's committee. I won by
, a combination. All the democrats
supported the amendment , and
enough western republicans to
make a majority.
"Mr. Sherman tried once after
that to knock Omaha out of the
bill in the senate , but we beat him
there , also. Then he gave it up.
"He did , however , in the rec
ent session of congress , defeat
Sentor fiurketl's amendment to
build an Indian warehouse at
Omaha. " World-Herald.

It is time to begin talking
about a county attorney for
Cherry county. Who are
we going to support for the
place ? and what do we want
a county attorney to do ?
The democrats have no
one to run for the place and
the republicans , almost in
variably , seem to care very
little who they run. But
the republican taxpayers , as
well as the democrats , want
SOME ONE for county at
torney.

I Check Lines.
James Marley , a prosperous
farmer up the Minnechaduza ,
came in horseback yesterday and
took back a pair of check lines
I with him. It is the most essential
part of the harness. Not to get
i the work done , for , in the early
| days people had oxen and drove
I without lines , but as a matter of
j safety to secure the proper use of
your horses. We have seen lines
that were not strong enough to
avoid an accident from a brisk
stepping colt that was self willed
or headstrong , as we used to say.
This calls our mind to the teach
ing profession and we would say
that a pair of good , strong lines is
necessary for the sell'-willed or
headstrong boys who are growing
up in our schools. They need
training and first of all is the need
of check lines.
The boys and girls will learn if
taught by any method ever ad
vanced , but a horse must be train
ed to go where you want him to
go , and in the direction of finan
cial or profitable fields as the driv-
directs , supposing , of course , that
personal safety is always to be
considered. So children should
be taught to respect the rights of
others and to be obedient to the
laws of government.
The check lines so essential to
the proper control of horses should
not be overlooked by farmers who
contemplate driving a young team
this summer , and when you em
ploy a teacher for your children's
training don't complain if the
teacher uses a pair of tried and
true check lines , for school gov
ernment should be considered as a
prominent part in a teacher's
work to make respectful and de
sirable citizens.

Baseball Scores.
Crawford's baseball team came
down Tuesday and played with
Valentine on the home diamond.
The score was reported 11 to i in
favor of Valentine. The Craw
ford boys have a good ball team
and play good ball but Valentine
was better. Another game will
be played today with them and
we will probably beat them again.
They went down to Ainsworth
yesterday to play and were beaten

There was little speculation as
