The time will BOOH bo here for HOIUO
of the fusion c.dltorH and orators to
claim tlio election of .ludgo Sullivan
by a majority ranging from 10,000 to
100,000 , and following that will como
tlio tlmo for the ropnbllcanH to rudely
shatter tholr predictions. The ono Is
certainly a sign of the approach of
the other , and Is anxiously awaited
by an eager public.
News of a gigantic farmers' trust ,
backed by a capital of $ 100,000.000
comes from Chicago and there IH no
doubt but that such a scheme Is be
ing urged throughout the country.
The sentiment IH growing among the
farmers that they can control the
markets , providing only that they can
unite and remain linn In their de
mands.
Near Fremont recently a farm was
Bold for $80 an aero that was pur
chased four years ago for $10 per acre ,
Indicating the Increasing valno of land
In this section of the state. If men
are able to llml good and fertile farms
In any section of Nebraska that they
can secure at less than $10 an acre
now It is a snap which they should
not hesitate to chinch.
Church Howe , who has boon consul
at Sholllold , England , for several
years , has been promoted to the posi
tion of consul general at Antwerp ,
Belgium , which Is a much hotter po
sition than ho has been holding , all
of which goes to show that the door
of advancement and honors are open
to Nebraska men of ability , providing
they have not permitted political non
sense to get possession of their
minds.
Next Monday Is the second anniver
sary of the death of President Win.
McKinley , after his hard light to re
cover from the wounds Indicted by
an assassin. With the onward march
of the events the people are Inclined
to forget the wave of sorrow that
swept over the country at that tlmo ,
but It will not ho harmful to recall the
sentiments then expressed bj ; every
one. It was the keenest sorrow of
the generation , and the great man's
memory Is revered everywhere.
The World-Herald cartoonist hn.s
a good Idea of the canal situation , and
presents Colombia as a llttlo fellow
standing on his chair and looking
over a table at the hand of cards
Uncle Sam holds , the faces of which
.ho would very much like to see. The
llttlo chap's band Is exposed , and
shows , "acceptance of treaty , " "llnal
refusal" and "bluff. " It would not
take him long to make the play If ho
could get a peep at his uncle's hand , ,
and really the old gentleman does not
seem to be a bit worried over what
ue may finally decide to play.
The World-Herald and other papers
of like character , republican as well
as democratic , are getting some se
vere Jolts to their ferret style of cam
paign , and a style that has held sway
with them for many years , but It Is
apparent that a reform Js working and
that the present campaign will ho on
n higher piano than has been-known
In recent years , and that the merits
rather than the undesirable traits of
the candidates shall receive considera
tion. This Is more to bo desired oy
the fair-minded people generally than
that the contest should bo nonpartisan
san , and will bo an aid , It Is believed ,
toward making It non-partisan. Strict
partisanship and personalities have
been closely alllllated In the past , and
It will bo Interesting to note what ef
fect a clean , respectable campaign will
have on the voters of the state.
An Idle Creek merchant who uses
a half page In his local paper each
week to announce his merchandise to
patrons , has taken the tlmo to figure
out Just what his advertising Is costIng -
Ing him In comparison with the biiHl-
ness bo docs , and finds that Tor each
forty-llvo cents ho has paid out for
advortlHlng he has done $100 worth
of biiHlnesH. Ilo probably does not
credit nil tlio business received to
his plan of advertising , but has dem
onstrated that It pays and propones
to ko p the public Informed through
the newspaper column as long as bo
Is In business. The expense Is cer
tainly not largo for the receipts and
almost any merchant should be able
to roall'/.o the benefits of advertising
when the Invostament IH hut forty-live
centH on $100.
Andrew Carnegie Is working stead
ily on his plan to got rid of the great
er part of his fortune before his tlmo
comes to die , and his purchase of the
Hannarekbiirn IH ono of the most
novel means ho ban yet employed. It
would be greatly more to the liking
of the American people If ho would
dlshurHo his money where ho accu
mulated it lint he undoubtedly has as
good a right to spend It In Europe as
has any other American millionaire ,
and then , anyway , Americans gener
ally have too great a respect for tholr
famoiiH battlefields to permit their
disfiguration and does not present the
name opportunity In that line an Is
given acrosH the water. So If Mr.
Carnegie IH really Intent on purchasIng -
Ing battlelleldH for their preservation
bo must needs go where ho can do
the most good with his money.
A man named .lames Williams
writes to the State Journal from lies-
cue , protesting against the arrest re
cently made by Deputy Warden Hal-
ney of a couple of men who had a
jack rabbit In their possession , and
the Journal explains that the game
law does not protect Jack rabbits , or
any other kind of rabbits. The law
does , however , prevent men who live
In one county from hunting In another
without a license , and that was what
these men wore arrested for. In other
words , a person may hunt rabbits at
any tlmo In his own county , or In
other counties with" a permit. Perhaps -
haps an. exception In this particular
should have been made to permit the
hunting of rabbits anywhere and at
any time' , lint Inasmuch as no such
exception was made the deputies have
no other recourse except to see that
the law as It reads is enforced , and a
dead jack rabbit Is as good evidence
that men have been hunting as a
dead prairie chicken or < piall.
This Is a swift ago and getting
swifter as It grows older , If the trot
ting record may lie taken as an Indi
cation. Forty-four years tigo Flora
Temple held the record with 2:1914. :
In lOOIt Lou Dillon takes It at an even
two minutes. With nineteen seconds
dropped off In less than half a century ,
the question Is how long will it take
to have another minute cut out. There
are hundreds of plugs all over the
country now that can go In the record
time of 1850 , and It Is not Improbable
that in the future there will bo hun
dreds that can make It lu a two-minute
clip. Maud S. was the most persistent
time reducer. She first took it in
2:10 : % . then she cut her own'record
down a half second ; Jay Eye See clip
ped it off another quarter , Maud S. re
duced It another three-quarters , and
finally In 1S85 took another half-sec
end from her former record. So the
time Is constantly reducing and It Is
not Improbable that the mllo-a-mlnuto
horse will be an actual accomplish
ment before another century dawns.
Judge Barnes , the republican candi
date for judge of the supreme court ,
is known and respected in this local
ity as a well equipped lawyer , a gentleman -
man and a constant republican. All
the silly stuff printed in democratic
and populist papers against him is
simply wnsto of good printers' Ink
where the judge Is known. The chief
point attempted to bo made in the ed-
, ltorlals is that , ho being the only can
didate before the convention and his
nomination being unanimous , be Is
therefore the tool of all the railroads
doing business In Nebraska. With the
same propriety and with as much rea
son , republicans might charge that In
asmuch ns Judge Sullivan's nomina
tion was made under precisely the
same conditions , ho Is therefore the
hireling of the soless corporations that
have ground down the farmers of the
state until their land Isn't worth less
than $50 an acre. Substitute "our man
Sullivan" for "our man Barnes" In the
World-Herald and Its Imitators' col
umns of nonsensical rubbish and the
yellow republican newspapers would
have their slogan ready made for the
campaign always supposing that such
a monstrosity as an impertinent black
guard could bo found editing a repub
lican newspaper In this state. Tllden

Tlio Lincoln Star had a reporter in
tlio automobile that paced his maj
esty , CroHcotiH. It was a swift pace
but Star reportorH are accustomed to
that sort of thing In keeping up with
the demands of the public from a
newspaper Htandpoint.
Congress will meet on the ninth of
November , Instead of In October , an
had before been contemplated. The
change was made because of the fact
that many of the congressmen and
leiiators would bo In die midst of
Interesting campaigns during the ear
lier dales , and could not afford to be
In Washington at that time.
The Irrigation congress will meet
it Ogden , Utah , tomorrow. This Is
the organl/.atlon to which the thanktt
of Nebraska and tlio people of other
tales are largely duo for what the
national congresH has done In the way
if providing for the Irrigation of arid
lands , and the coming meeting should
have substantial recognition for the
work done Iti the past by increased
ittendance and Increased Interest In
the coining meeting.
Some of those pretty song birds that
ire now going south to got away from
the winter , will not return again next
spring , If those southern slaughterers
-if birds find that there Is a demand
for carcases with which to adorn
women's bats. Now Is a good tlmo
for the American women to Indicate
( hat there Is no such doinand ! that
there Is an abundance of material
with which to prettily and becomingly
adorn a hat without taking the life
of any living creature.
It Is not costing the people what
It was to pension the veterans of the
wars In which America has been en
gaged. The cost per capita of such
pensions In 1893 was $2.21 , while In
19011 the cost was $1.75. In another
decade there will bo another shrink
age , duo to the Increasing deaths
among the pensioners. The total
amount disbursed during the recent
year was $ ; ) , On8G.2t,590 ; to 990,545 pen
sioners , which Is a considerable re
duction over last year.
As the state campaign progresses
Judge Barnes continues to grow moro
popular and stronger with the people
as they come to know him bettor.
The only question of his majority be
ing an exceedingly largo and em
phatic ono will bo to kee'p the voters
Interested In getting out to the polls ,
and In the majority of the counties
campaigns are developing that will
have this effect. If the people get
out to vote for county candidates they
will certainly not neglect to cast a
vote for Judge Barnes.
The fuslonlsts have not yet named
their candidate for judge of the Ninth
judicial district , hut whoever be maybe
bo ho will find It dllllcult to overcome
the popularity Judge Boyd has at
tained since ho was elevated to the
bench. Ills decisions have pleased
the people generally and ho has dem
onstrated effectively that his conduct
on the bench Is not governed by senti
ment , personal likes or dislikes , nor
by party sympathies or prejudices.
He has been Inllncnced entirely by
the legal points In the case , which he
has adjudicated with unusual common
sense. People feel that they can trust
him and his majority will undoubtedly
bo Increased.
When you send a dollar to Sears.
Roebuck & Co. , Montgomery Ward
& Co. , or any other eastern concern
that dollar may eventually find Its
way back to you In payment for the
grain you grow , but the profits you
pay on the goods they sell Is gone
forever. Not only is it lost to you
lint to the community and state , and
goes to help enhance the wealth of
those firms and their city. When you
spend a dollar at homo yon stand the
same chance of netting your money
back and the profits to the merchant
goes toward Improving the town 11
which you are Interested and which
Indirectly benefits every citi/.en In
the county. Buy what you need at
homo. If you cannot find It in your
own town then go to Norfolk , Ltncn'u
or Omaha. Keep the money In the
state. Every dollar spent In Improv
ing a Nebraska city helps Nebraska.
What helps Nebraska helps you , am )
the nearer these Improvements come
to you the greater your benefit.

The portion of the Rosebud Indian
reservation to bo opened to settlement
includes 410,000 acres , and when it is
considered that It is moro than half
ns largo as the state of Rhode Island
It can bo realized that it Is a territory
of every respectable dimension *
Divided up Into farms of 1GO acres
each , this would give 2.GOO farms and
provide homos for that number of
families. The average family Js gen
erally estimated to consist of five
persons , making the estimated popula
tion of the territory , not figuring In
the towns and settlements , 13,000 pee
ple. It will thus bo seen that the set
tlement of the Rosebud reservation
by American farmers and their fam
ilies will bo n matter of some Impor
tance to South Dakota n/d other sec
tions of the country tributary , The
ground Is said to produce oats yieldIng -
Ing from GO to 100 bushels to tlio acre
uid other crops In proportion and IH
therefore too valuable to bo permitted
to He Idle.
It was , no doubt a great business
leal and wonderful achievement In n
commercial way when the Pennsyl
vania railroad , at the expense of $132-
000,000 secured control of nil the coal
business In the Plttsburg district for
the purpose of deieatlng the Wabash
and cutting out tlio competition of
that line of railway , but It Is doubt
ful If the people will throw up tholr
hats and yell themselves hoarse over
the victory of the giant. It moans
that they will have to moot the de
mands of the Pennsylvania for freight
and the coal at the mines , regardless
of how oxhorbltant that may bo. They
would much have profored that thorp
should bo competition In the business.
The tlmo is not long passed when
England was the example for every
movement and achievement in this
country , hut there has been a change
and England Is beginning to look to
the United States for Inspiration. At
the recent meeting of the British as
sociatlon for the advancement of
science President Lockyer drew conv
parlsons that wore flattering to the1
younger country when ho said that
while Great Britain had eleven uni
versities the United States had 131 ,
and that , whereas 4,000,000 had been
contributed toward the support of
such Institutions during the past
sixty years In the mother country ,
those In the United States had re
ceived moro than X40.000.000 In the
last year.
By means of the cheap rate ex
cursion of the Northwestern man
people of northern Nebraska and
other portions of the state and not a
few from other states arc today look
ing over the fertile Rosebud Indian
reservation , near Bonestcel , In South
Dakota. The present high price of
lands In Nebraska and South Dakota
serves to attach more than ordinary
Interest to the prospective opening
by congress of this fertile territory ,
and It Is anticipated that if congress
passes a bill at the coming session ,
throwing a portion of the reservation
open to settlement there will ho a
rush next spring for desirable farms
that will bo a record breaker as far as
all previous openings aio concerned.
Tlio last opening In Oklahoma at
tracted thousands of people , but there
was much apprehension lest the lands
secured should not bo worth the ef
fort. The Rosebud lands have been
tried and proven good. Farms in the
vicinity of the reservation have been
cultivated for years with excellent re
sults and those who are able to secure
a farm when the reservation opens
will be fully supported in the asser
tion that they have drawn a fortune.
It is too good a territory to bo per
mitted to lie Idle , and its opening by
the coming congress will have the ap
proval of all the people tributary to
it.
The sentiment In favor of a cleaner ,
purer style of campaign Is growing
and extending. The two leading state
candidates have favored It , and the
district and county candidates of all
parties are urging that the campaign
bo conducted on a high plane by the
newspapers and the politicians. It
is receiving favor everywhere and the
probability Is that the present fight
will bo unique for its purity. It is
believed that this sentiment can bo
traced back as a result of President
McIClnloy's sad death. At that time
those who opposed McKinley were
criticised for the mean and undeserved
things they had said of him , and of
moro moment than that was the ap
parent fact that they who had roughly
criticised the martyred president ap
peared to bo sincerely sorry that they
had done so. Since then the democrats
have used n kindlier tone in their
references to President Roosevelt and
republican utterances referring to
Mr. Bryan and other democratic lead
ers have been notably modified. The
sentiment is therefore strong that
the personality of candidates should
be respected. Neither party Is likely
to choose candidates guilty of criminal
actions if they can help themselves ,
and it Is a discredit to our civilization
that because a man Is nominated for
office his private actions should bo
gathered up and magnified , until , in
the minds of his opponents , ho Is llttlo
bettor than a brute. Papers and poli
ticians should reserve the right to
look after the principles of a candidate
that will have n bearing on his of
ficial conduct. Party papers should in
sist that their candidates should bo
fully qualified and honorable , but
there should hereafter bo no license
for a paper of the opposing party to
make groundless accusations and
tear n man's character to pieces for
moro pastime. Some politicians will
regret the change , because It will rob
campaigns of some of the excitement
Incident thereto , but the people have
a right to Insist on the reform.

No ono over fooled the people with

It Is a good sign when a community
endorses husbands and wives being
In love with each other.
The people always admire loyalty to

It , and become more popular ?
When you naturally lose the dlspo
sltlon to run around at night , for heav

When n woman makes a visit of

Ono secret has been kept for many
centuries ; and that Is the terrible

After a falsehood has been accepted
twenty years by the people , without

Occasionally you see a stout , mid-

When you are passing a house , and

are saying something about you ?
When n doctor leaves town on his
vacation , ho cannot run in a ringer on

very decided second choice in doctors.
When there is a bad accident the
first thing the coroner does Is to go
through the pockets of the man re

How is this for nerve ? An Atch

and gossiped with the girl about her

Distribute fifteen or twenty cents

and you can create more happiness
than the Iron kings when they give

The politicians don't fear the man
