The liullun summer has niimri | > ntly come to Ktny until that snow Mlonn buries Ilic ftiHlonlHlH from sight , iltio In something loss than a month. The republican tlclu't In good onottKh for any volor , and those who hnvo no particular political choice nsay ho expected to line up ( or It solidly. Japan Is giving ovury Indication thnt fiho Is not trembling In her koots for four of u war with Russia. The modern training In military and nnval tactics Him IIHH received will Htiuid lu r In good stead In the event of war. Nebraska wantH to enter the up- pumehlng national campaign with the record of having horn redeemed Horn fiiHlon to stay lodeotnod and the voters of the pnrty may ho depended HIHin to HOO that the victory thin fall IH emphatic. AH long as the people can ho im- surod Hint the miiltl-mllllonulrcH will light among thoniMolvuH they can fool ca.sy ever the nniltur of being com pletely throttk'd by any of thorn. When octopuses are atar the com mon people lire fairly safe from their machinations. If the pollcomon at the whlto IIOIIHO will hoqp right on gathering In the cnuiUfl of the country they will bo earning their salaries beyond a doubt. Perhaps they arc the real fool-killers that have horoloforo hcon 'considered something of a fahlo. Lot the good work go on. The non-partisan judiciary Kchomo , and the imuul railroad cry of the fu- alonlsts appears to have been wholly Ineffectual In causing any stampede from the rop\ibllcan \ tlckot , and the prospects are excellent for Nohr.iska to stay In line for a rousing ropuhll- can victory when the votes are pollod. Since the harmony plan mapped out before the primaries ! didn't win out in Douglas county , how would It bo lor there to ho ante-primary har mony , and every repnlillcan In the "county support the ropubllcan tlckot. That would bo a trno test of the .ojmlKy and ijuantlty of Jiarmony In the country. Now that there are so few Indiana remaining , the signing of that Amorl- can-Chluoso treaty will bo a welcome outlet to the ambitions of certain traders who have found the Indians a fruitful people thioiigh whom to dis pose of their goods. The Chinese will probably prove on a par with the In dians and the Africans as patrons of Homo ofthe American Industries. Uncle Kuss Sago has permitted his farm In Hockland county , New York , to bo sold for taxes , there being an accumulation of $113 charged against it. It Is probable that the farm was not \sorlh the cost or the lowly Mr. Sago could have managed to dig up tlio money somehow. It Is different in Nobra&.ui where the soil Is fertile. You never hear of a wealthy person permitting his land to ho sold for taxes. Hon. .1. 11. Barnes expresses himself as well pleased with the prospects for a republican victory at the coming election. Ho falls to tlnd any reason at all why Nebraska will not como up with a good , old time republican ma jority In November. There Is no evi dence anywhere that there will bo any detections from the republican ranks. The party Is united on the state ticket , and all that appears to be necessary will bo for party work ers to get the voters out. Hailroad reports all show increased earnings and no dlmlnuatlon of divi dend producing power. This is the fruit of the prevailing prosperity in the agricultural sections of the coun try , on which the business of the rail roads is directly dependent Give the farmers paying crops and the rail roads will ho paying properties. Thati however , will not restore the stocks to the ridiculously high points to which they had been boosted by the speculator and jobbers , because the real value never justiiled the amount of Intlatiou to which they were sub jected. Omaha Ueo. Nebraska Js not yet after Califor nia's reputation as a great peach pro ducing sUite , but neither does she propose to submit to any sort of ru- inor to the effect that she has been hopolosssly distanced along thnt line , or for that matter along any line of production , fruit or otherwise. Dan Kiser , a wealthy farmer residing near Murray , marketed over COO bushels f neachos this > oar and could have disposed of us many moro. Ho ro- eclrod from $1.60 to $2.00 n bushel for tt o fruit and Jnu joined the great ion ! of farmorH who hnvo found that t pa > s to till NohniHlm poll. ( Mir. Hehnvhind , candidate. ' for county troiiHiirer , Iw HO well known throughout the county that ho scarce- y needs to bo "boomed" for the po sition , but bin hustling abilities are well known and It may ho taknn for granted from the start that ho will allow no grass to grow under his feet between now and election day. He lias served t.lie people faithfully is clerk of tho'dlstrlet court , and It Is well realized that no Imttur man for treasurershlp Is available In any party. Ho IH conscientious and sys- temntle In the performance of his du ties and his record speaks emphati cally for himself. W. II. Field of .lofforson , candidate for clerk of the district court. Is known by his friends lo possess just the necessary ( inallllcatlons for the position. It can ho hankod on that Jefferson precinct , where ho Is best known , will go for him , almost to a man. Mr. Field was early thrown on his own resources by I ho death of his father and since moving to Til- den ho has made It evident that ho was abundantly ahlo to care for his own , Ho has served In responsible positions In Antelope county with satisfaction to all , and the district clerkship may ho safely entrusted to him. A vole for Field will not bo amiss. The postolllco department has ruled that the ashes of a friend may ho sent through the malls at merchan dise rales. This la another victory for the cromatlonlsts. Think of the convenience of shipping the remains of an unfortunate , dying far away from homo In a pasteboard bo\ with a postage stamp attached , ns compared with the grows < mio heavy long box In a freight rarwlth double passenger rates to pay. And the only difference Is that a quantity of gas and water has been dispensed with by the cre mation. All that Is substantial and permanent about a dead body Is pre served In the little box of ashes. State Journal. To those who are strictly unpreju diced the attempts of organised labor to force the' , government to employ union men Is as reprehenslblo as It would bo for-any monopoly to en deavor to secure control of any de partment ( if the government. The United Hlatuh govunimnl is complete within itself , and Is the one pos session of the people that should be kept tree from all organizations of every kind , whether they ho of capi tal or labor. .Merit and desirability should ho the only requirement of government employes , as quality and cheapness should be required In the government's purchase of supplies. Any departure from those is against the Interests of all the people , and It Is to be hoped that the government may continue to bo free from any such alliances. The national bureau of labor has been Investigating the stock argu ments of the antl-admlnlstratlonlsts to the effect that while wages have advanced ten to fifteen per cent , the cost of living has Increased fully thirty per cent , and proposes to give the public the llgures soon so that It wilt know something about the bust- ness when the argument Is again pre sented. U Is already given out that the two have Increased In equal pro portion , the increase being between fifteen and seventeen per cent. This does not take Into consideration the fact that whereas there wore thou sands of men idle under the Cleveland - land administration , since the repub licans took charge every man who has desired employment and is com petent has received it almost con tinuously , so that there would really ho a largo balance In favor of labor. The Increase in wages must bo figured on the basis of those who were employed during both eras. One of the most popular young men In Waterloo was married the other day. If you don't believe ho was popular just look at what his friends did to him. The bride and groom were followed to the train , where they were captured and bound together with real handcuffs in such fashion that no man except the pos sessor of the key could put them asunder. Then a barrel of rice was procured and bride and groom were properly stuffed with it. When the train pulled in it was found to bo gayly decorated. The manacled pris oners were led aboard , an orchestra appeared , and the whole party start ed to share the wedding trip. Of course there wore placards nnd all the con volitional doings. It was not unti Oel eln was reached that the koj to the handcuffs was produced am the popular young man and his Jieau tlful young bride loft in peace. Now the question arises , if "Waterloo would do all that to ono of its most popular young won what would 1 do to n unpopular ono in case he should furnish similar occasion fet attention ? Sioux City Journal. For coroner llr , II. I , . Kindred of Meadow Orovo Is thoroughly quallllcd , Ho has boon In practice for yearn tlioro and will receive n largo compli mentary vote from HIOHO who know ilm best. James Curtln of Madison , porhnpH hn the hardest race on the tlckot , nit bis friends are confident thnt ho will show Mr. Winter a hard fight mil nro satisfied that ho will give the utmoHt satisfaction lo the people of the county If elected. W. W. Lowe Is perhaps the ono man In the county qualified for county sur veyor. Ho has held It without oppo- filttlon for several terms and will unquestionably ho ro-electcd. Ho known every foot of land In the county and Is the man for the place. The ropubllcan candidate for county judge , C. F. lUlsoloy of Norfolk , la ono of the pioneer RettlerH of the county. Ho at ono time was honored with n aoat in the legislature and Is fully competent to alt on the county bench. Ills selection will mightily please many friends. Next year la the presidential elec tion and Nebraska republicans should undertake to see that the' slalo la kept In line I'or the republican ticket , that they may enter the coming cam paign with something on which to base their assurance of republican success in the national campaign. The democrats of Norfolk product met In convention Saturday night and the republicans will place their tlckot before the people tonight , thus closing the preliminaries to the cam paign and all that now remains la for the candidates to hustle , the party workers to do their stunt and the people to do the voting on the third. Jefferson precinct republicans Imvo not often asked for anything In the way of olllce , but when they have the candidates have been making a los ing campaign. This would be a good year to recognl/.o Jefferson republi canism by electing their candidate for the district clerkship to the otllco ho seeks. , T. .1. Clements , candidate for sher iff on the republican ticket , has twice been elected to the position , and Is fully competent to look after the du ties of the otlice. lie is well known throughout the county , and his quiet , unassuming ways have won him many friends who will rejoice at his ro-ok'cUon. If the election were held tomorrrow t Is believed that there would bo a ack of thousands of a full vote , in- Heating that if It Is desired to have a full vote out when election day does xrrive , It will ho necessary for the vorkera of the party to hustle and mow no let up. The people are may. they have had little time to cultivate an interest In politics , and mill such Interest is aroused it will 10 useless to count on a fulll vote. Prof. Win. Dowllng of Madison Is ibundantly qualltled to take the olllce ) f superintendent of public instruc tion , for which ho has been placed in lonilnntlnn. Ho lias been especially educated In school work and has had years of practical experience In the school room as Instructor that has shown him the defects nnd needs of x school system , so that his expert- Mice Is ono that will bo valuable to schools and school children of the county. Judge .1. F. Hoyd has lltted himself for his judicial duties by a thorough legal education which has been on- lianced and broadened by years of practice before the 'courts of the state , both high and low , and during Ills present term of olllce ho has shown that ho has hack of that know ledge excellent common sense , so that he is fitted for the position in abund ant degree. He Is the man for the place and the people of the district will undertake to see that ho is elected. For commissioner of the Second district the many friends of Oeo. D. Smith will tell you that ho is all right and will prove a competent , trustworthy olllcor. Ho is ono of the old settlers of this vicinity and has earned the recognition of the voters of his party beyond a doubt , by faith ful and energetic work In the party's behalf. He has largo property Inter ests here , and may he depended upon to look nfler the interests of the county as though they were his own. A ballot not cast for Mr. Smith will bo incomplete. .1. L. llynearson is another of the republican candidates who need little Introduction to the people of the county. In a way ho has been before fore the people for years , and his qualifications for the position of county assessor nro not subject to criticism. His years of work in the Interest of the , Madison County Ag ricultural society hnvo brought him In contact with the people who nro most interested in the work of the r'B ollco nnd has glvon him the knowledge necoHonry to form n correct oatlmnto of vnlnca nnd his ability to perform the duties of the now office la unquestioned. Republi cans should hnvo no hesitancy In re questing the votes of their friends for Mr. IlynearKon. The sudden dropping off of prices on the Nebraska market la being charged up against the packers , who evidently have under way n systematic attempt to lower the prices at which they buy , nnd will endeavor to mnln- tain the soiling price. Thla , as might be Imagined , la unsatisfactory to both the stock raiser and the con sumer and there la likely to bo an objection , long and loud Issuing from both aldoa of the fence , It la ostim- mated that the farmera of Nobraaka were from three to five million dollars lars poorer at the beginning of the week than they wore at the anme time laat week , and there may ho n movement made for co-operntlvo packing planta , conducted on the same plan as co-operative elevators unless the packers will consent to do the fnlr thing by the farmers and stockmen. TRADE EXPANSION. U has never been moro pertinent than now for Norfolk to consider mat ters of trade exteiieion , and The News Is in It lo do Its full share. Norfolk la the business and geographical cen ter of a large territory that Is In creasing in Importance each year , and the business interests of Norfolk should be In Imtimalo touch with that territory. The News would not favor an attempt to compete with the country merchants of surrounding towns. They are entitled to live anil hold all the trade of which they are capable , hut there are thousands of dollars that go through Norfolk every week and find their way into the big mall order houses of the east and the large department stores. This drain on the country should be stopped , not only In the Intoresta of the business men but of the farmers and towns- p'eoplc who are spending the money. The Stantou Picket recently gave n short sermon , appealing to the peo- people there to spend their money at home or us near homo as possible , that was the height of wisdom. It advised its readers to trade at home , but If they were compelled to buy away from homo to go to the nearest possible trading point to spend their money , ami it Is an appeal that should bo made in every town1 In this sec tion of the state. They should buy at home If the goods they wish are obtainable there , if not they should come to Norfolk. If Norfolk cannot supply their demands , then to Fremont mont or Lincoln or Omaha. What is desired is to have the money remain in the state and be of benefit to al the interests thereof. This can bo done In a large extent by the mer chants themselves. Millions of dollars lars go out of the state every yeai for goods that are handled in the state , and this money should be kept at home , to the advantage of every business Interest and property owner Those who have been careful in theli comparisons between purchases fron mail order houses and homo mer chants , find .that there is no saving to ho made , and that the mall order business is unsatisfactory , but the mail order houses make it their busl ness to interest the people and mak < it convenient for them to trade. I should be the business of Norfolk am other state merchants to approximate their methods , They can meet the competition , but the people do no reali/e it and a campaign or educa tion should bo inaugurated The News Is attempting to conver this territory and interest the pco pie In Norfolk , and has met with gral Ifylng encouragement since it was determined to enlarge the scope o its service. It finds that it can nice competition in evoy particular , ant proposes to widen Its field to a large extent. It wishes the co-operation o the merchants , and will do its fill share by them. There should bo a mutual effort toward this end on th part of all the business people. Kee the money at home. THOUGHT HE HAD BEEN KILLED , Charles Toler Arrived In Norfolk to Find that He Had Been Dead Several Weeks. Charles Toler , formerly of Norfolk but now of Ladoga , In. , had a pecu liar experience when ho returned to Norfolk last Saturday for a visit. He was supposed to bo dead. Ho had the pleasure of learning of his death several times and nearly pvery ono he met asked him how it hap pened that ho was still on earth. "I thought you were killed in an express robbery down in Knnsas , " they nil snid. "It wns in the papers that you were running as express messenger on a railroad nnd thnt in a hold-up you were shot. " Then Charlie understood. One Charles Toler , nn express mossoiv- gor , had been killed and his friends hero who had not hoard from him for niRiiy moons mistook the case. Mr. Tolor Is still very much alive , however , nnd his Norfolk friends were glad to see him. ATCHI8ON GLOBE SIGHTS. It la so easy to fnll into n habit hat calls for less work. So many people try to begin nt the op , Instead of nt the bottom , A whlto vest nnd nn empty pocket look nre n mighty poor combination. People never charge to hard luck inythlng that hnppena to a reckless nan , A free ticket never improves n nan's real opinion of a aho\v- after la over.

"Thnt man is tough enough , " n irnkeman said of nn enemy today , 'to chew smoking tobacco. " The kind of people who tie a string ) ii the linger are the kind who never emoinbor why they tied it there. When a child keeps its dresa clean is long as n half day , a wise mother vill look at its tongue , and _ | cel its misc. You cnn't offend a man of forty by saying thnt ho la seventy , but ho will get mad if you hint that ho la forty-five. 4 The kind of n man who deserts ils family is the kind that comes jack when they are doing well with- nit him. Everything seems to have como ) iit of the national dressmakers' con vention in Chicago , except advice to spend loss on clothes. If you nro to hnvo fried chicken , t is perfectlyt proper for your invi- atlous to state that you will "enter- : aln with a chicken. " So many men are to bo married in I'opeka this fall who can't afford to < eep a wife , that there is talk of get ting out injunctions. When a woman passes her thirty- fifth birthday , and her waist line is lost , her friends say she has the "middle aged spread. " When a man tells of what ho has done for a friend , ho usually con cludes his story by saying : "He wouldn't do as much for ino. " The sentimental are greatly disap pointed. A girl's lover died , and she , instead of dying too , went on living with new pink feathers in her hat. Wo like best to spend our time with those persons who make us feel as if we were sitting with our slip per on , In the big rocking chair nt homo. When a girl makes her choice , hoi older kin look at his income , and her younger kin judge him by the qual ities that couldn't earn him n flap jack. A public celebration is not n sue cesss unless there arc a great manj women on the streets carrying very big lunch baskets , and very small babies. After people have lived next dooi neighbors for a great number o years they are like kin ; know al about each other , and don't get along very woll. "Hiawatha" isn't so bad when a band plays it.

When a woman with a big fnmlly of children issues invitations to n party , it is with the prayer that the children will not como down with the me.xsles , whooping cough or scarlet fever before the date of the party. At n meeting of the Mother' club yesterday , one woman confessed that she spent the first six months of her married lifo in bumping her head against n rock wall. After that , she found out It was useless and began to do things her husband's way. Other sisters told experiences as harrowing. No effort to amount to something Is really ever wasted. An Atchlson girl who studied voice culture at $5 un hour , married a farmer. Kvory- 0110 thought her talent was wasted , but , on the contrary , she found just the field for it ; she uses It to call the men from the harvest fields to their meals , and it has n wider range than any cow boll or horn used in thnt section.

' First , there was the swell colonial carved front china closet. It is a. beauty , having been bought with | 95,000 tobaccco tags. Cy must have chewed himself almost to death get ting the wherewithal to possess the article. There are some rare specl- , mens of cut glass in the china closet , < which were secured with 2,000 Muscle Hilda which had to be bought in order to got the coupons. The dining - ing room table is something that is worth going miles to see. It is said I that It took three men two years to | put the pollslon the top. The fam ily has been eating cheese for live years in order to get the 800 tickets necessary to draw the table. The .family used nothing but condensed milk for nine years before they caught the words "O'Hoolohan's Host , " which entitled them to the grand upright piano which ornaments the parlor. The swell ancestral clock which stands eight feet high , came with a wagon load of baking powder. It is a beautiful ornament , and higlb ly varnished , finished in golden oak , the latest stylo. There are other ar ticles of furniture too numerous to mention secured with hams , health foods , whiskey , rouge , powder and. chewing gum. There is so much up holstered plush furniture in the house that a person could fall down almost anywhere and not get hurt. My Lungs An attack of la grippe left me with a bad cough.
