" It Is recommended that no proxies bo allowed In said-convention but that the delegates present thereat bo au- orlzcd to cast the full vote of the county represented by them , ' It Is also recommended and strongly urged that all counties shall complete their county organizations by select ing their county committees and tlio officers thereof prior to the date of the holding of said state convontlon. Notice Is hereby glvan that each of the odd numbered senatorial districts In the state Is to select a member of tbo state committee to servo for tlio term of two years. By order of the state committee. Dated at Lincoln , Nebraska , February 3 , A. D. 1904. II. C , Lindsay , Chairman. 'A. B. Alien , Secretary. In about three weeks the sun will cross the equator and then spring should bo hero for a certainty wheth er it is or not. Arbor day-is approaching and with it is tree planting time , a season that should bo generally observed in Ne braska. Carrie Nation will readily agree with John Alexander Dowlo that there is danger in leaving the native heath and attempting to forage in John Uull's colonies. Tom L. Johnson is said to favor Hearst for president. If Johnson lias a choice on anything ho prefers a cir cus and ho will certainly see ono if his avowed favorite is nominated. The war department at Washing ton no doubt had the sensation of a small piece of eastern war broke loose there when that crazed soldier unlirnbcrcd his artillery anil com menced shooting right and left. Ho was squelched sooner than the bellig erents in the far east .will over bo brought to order. If March is to go out roaring llko a lion It should be the least bit docent - cent while It remains or all will hope that. the. retiring pvent will 09. ma terially accelerated , -which i would * qot b&Vafcaircompllmentary to the month.

In two wooUs the vernal oqulnox will bo nHhorcd In and after that It will not bo unreasonable to expect a llttlo Honiothlng lllto spring weather. If thoHo Chicago mcHHoiiRor boys do not have a care they may soon have nothing to HtrlUo for. Fifty girls took positions with the WoHtorn Union as nioflHongorH on Friday.

Mr. Hryiui In R I B about fixing things In other HtatcH and iloos not appear to bo at all worried about the attltudo of hlH own state.

The RuHHlana are certainly preparing to do what they can to counteract the blow , howovor. Whatever olao may bo the outcome of the" Smoot Investigation It is cer tain that the Utah Mormons are get ting eomo extensive advertising without ' ' out costing them ft cent. Perhaps , however , It will not provo o ho the kind they moat desire. Russia thinks tli.it . there Is a better feeling between this country and that than there has boon since the open ing of the war , The Americans do llko Russia pretty good but they would take some tmtlsfactlon In the winning of this fight by the Japanese : 'The ' senators are learning a little mbro than they have over known be fore" nbout thd Mormon religion.

Webster's candidacy for the posltloB of Vice president' on the republican ticket ? Senator Fairbanks of Indiana , It is'said , "will not refuse to'makb'tho ' race If his party desires him to do so. buV there are none ask ing for Mr. Webster to accept the po- ltlon. ' Sloux City has the merchandise ot * its milkmen tcqteu once , a mouth by an agent for the" state dairy commis sioner and the results published. The examination may not only bo valuable In preventing the dilution of milk with water and f6r prevent ing the use of 'formaldehyde or em balming fluids for the preservation of the animal matter , but the pub lished figures stand as valuable ad vertisements for the dqalors whoso tests run high.It. . should not bo dif ficult for tho' people of the Iowa city to select a preferred dealer in the lacteal fluid from the tables pub lished. The following from Henry Wetter- son's pen is a merltodly severe ar raignment coming from ono. southern er and directed at others regarding a recent outrage : "The Churning-.at the stake of Luther Holbert and hls , wlfo in Mississippi and the shooting down of three other negroes , inno * cent of Holbert's crime , was ono of the most atrocious outrages over committed in any part of Christendom or heathendom. No more hideous in famy over cursed the land when sav ages hold It , before the coming of the Caucasian , with his prating of his superiority and civilization. It Is dis gusting , sickening and horrifying to every man worthy of wearing a white skin. " Col.Wattorson gives it as his opinion that Hearst is a better man for the olllco of president than Bryan , to which opinion those who know Mr. Bryan best mid the reputation of Hearst to a certain degree must take violent exceptions. Should the vote of the west bo called upon to decide between the two Mr. Bryan would bo a winner without an effort. Mr. Bry an may bo a llttlo bit sensational in the matter of politics , but his entire personality is not permeated with sensationalism as Is that of Mr. Hearst as proven by the policies that prevail in his newspaper offices. There is no comparison between the two men , and the only thing that has surprised the friends of Mr. Bryan is that ho should nccopt the support of Hearst and his' papers und in turn "jBupport the yellow editor 'for 'tho fiighost offltyj ' iQjtho Klft'of UW'DOOI plo. . jjj-t < . . . 'i 'it Ono jof tl\p \ moot remarkable foa- ( tnroa'ln connection with the war bo' * tWoun ItiiHHla and Japan in the facil ity with which the Japanese hnvo succeeded In keeping the movements of tholr army and navy from an In terested public. Since the opening of hiiBtllltlcH there has boon but scant Information obtainable from Japan- OHO KdiircoH. How they have man aged to no effectually mask tholr movoinontfl IB the wonder of a civil- l/ed world who know how readily Important information leaks out on Hiich occasions The entire nation appears to have combined with the government In an oftort to suppress news that would bo of value to the opposition. What inothodH have boon pursued IB illfllcull to surmlBO , hut that It IIIIH boon uuccOHRful Is conclu- HVU ! to a nowH-hnngry world. St. Petersburg illHpatohi's and IIOWB un der China diilo lines are frequent but a war utory appearing unilor n Toklo date line IB n rarity , and there ap pears to ho no probability that they will become more common. The Jap anese who will talk , Htuto that the policy of secrecy IB CHHontlal because of tlio greater strength of tholr an tagonist who might crush thorn if full Information WUH obtainable but with the work of the army and navy done under cover there may bo a chance of boating out the powerful opponent with now , secret and sur prising movements. It is known that Russia IB very considerably worried by the Btudlod secrecy and apprehen sive of the movements of tlio llttlo brown men who may strike where and wh'cn they nro least oxpoctod. japan's policy will undoubtedly bo a valuable example to other nations In future wars , but it is possible that ll will bo more difllcult to follow where nowHpapors and persistent re porters and correspondents are more numerous and insistent. That It is winning is sufficient to Japan and that other belligerents will endeavor to emulate her in the future Is con clusive , but it is not agreeable to the newspaper men and the army of readers who are waiting and longing for authentic Information of engage ments and movements. The decision of the state board of health to combat tuberculosis , the great whlto plague , will bo welcome to the people of the state who desire that the Insidious disease shall be weeded out. The enforcement of health rules may not bo agreeable to the patient suffering from the mal ady nor to the family , but for the llfo and health of others it would be justifiable ! to' ' enforce stringent rules for the government of the patient and those , attending at the bedside. The doctors are convinced that there , is such a thing as preventing tlio spread of the disease , and unless such pre ventive is put in effect the deaths from the disease will greatly increase. If every state in .the union should adopt radical measures to rid the country of tuberculosis the effect would bo much bettor , but as long as1 'patients are transferred from ono state to another the disease will be carried along unless all states should adoijt , slmlar ) means towards Its sup pression. It Is possible to be In con stant attendance at the bedside of a Victim of the disease withont fear of contngou | , as has been proven in many cases and it is also possible for ono patient to communicate the ills- ens to all who are brought In contact. It should be necessary , if not to In- ijtituto quarantine regulations , at least for a trained nurse to bo in at tendance or for the family to bo In formed minutely as to the proper method of preventing contagion , and they should bo compelled for the sake of their own health as well as that of others to observe such precautionary measures as are effective. More people ple die every year of tuberculosis , ac cording to statistics , than from any other disease , and It is time that it should he stamped out if possible. All physicians and county boards will undoubtedly willingly co-operate with the state board of health in pre venting the spread of the dangerous malady. Down in Australia they are chasing after the valuable yellow metal pret ty close to the hot place. Ono mine Is three thousand foot deep and it is so hot that the minors work almost naked and have to bo sprayed with cold water to keep from a premature scorching. The temperature is said to bo 108 degrees' at the bottom of the shaft. Three trains have been snow bound somewhere in Montana for the past two weeks , and the snow is said to bo piled high throughout the 'section ' in which they are supposed to bo lost. This may not be agreeable to Mon tana , but If there la anything in the statement that much snow in the northwest moans much rain In Ne braska and noluhborlnc states daring the coming summer , tho'people , hero may'npf bo expected to complain If the trains , doa t' Succeed ; fn afggjn'g 'f ' " " Jl " ' - "r"ho"corh crop has ridt boon assured for adrno itUo' ' ' ' ' " 'It IR not probable that Col. Walter- son would over have consented to siipport Hearst If nominated , had ho bOoii fully aware that the Now York editor is the favored candidate of the Commoner out hero In Nebraska. The happy time Is almost here when the annual season of baseball will open. The clubs are In training and the fans will shortly have some thing worth talking about before them. The other night wo dreamt that W. M. Hobortson was nominated for governor , and wo don't know yet that ho IB oven a candidate. How ninny are of the opinion that hlH nomination would bo n calamity ? Blxby In State Journal. Neither do wo know whether ho will be a nimlltluto or not , but HO far ixs exprc.HHlotis of opinion have boon heard the nomination and election of Judge Unborlson would not bo con sidered a calamity by any manner of moans. On the contrary , It would bo a good business proposition , and a largo number of the people of th stnld believe that this Is BO. Ono thing IB sure , If Judge Robertson should bo nominated and elected ns governor , Nebraska would have a man at the head of affairs for whom no apology would ever need bo of fered , ono who Is truthful , upright and honoflt , who Is broad , just nnd honor able , conscientious In his dealings , and a statesman in the fullest sense of the term. Nebraska would bo hon ored by the presence of Judge Robert son In the gubernatorial chair. But the real question still remains unanswered. Wo do not know wheth er he will be a candidate or not. In fact ho Is just now out of the state where the question cannot be pro pounded to him. When ho returns The News will ask him about it. While there is a decided movement of immigrants to Nebraska , there is likewise quite a movement among the residents here for other parts of the country. If those who are being car ried away by the enthusiasm of the boomers would but look around them apd draw their moral it Is probable that" they would not so readily fall In with the plans of those who desire their removal that they may get tholr holdings hero at a bargain for the otljor , fellows who are coming in. The solid and substantial men of this sec tion of Nebraska are the ones who hnvajreslsted all movements Intended to attract tljem elsewhere and they have accumulated fortunes while tholr neighbors "who wore caught with entrancing propositions are eking out n meager existence or have noth ing whatever to show for their ef forts. There Is no better country on the face of the earth to make a for tune than right hero In North Ne braska. I.uraay { bo a llttlo slow to the dreamers -who hope to dig up a Million dollar gold or diamond mine , but It is certain. This is proven by the fact that the men who have re mained hero the longest are the best fixed , and those who have any oppor tunity for a start at all will find it tb their advantage to remain as the years roll on. Fortunes have been , are being and will bo taken from the fertile soil of north Nebraska and the longer a man remains by his farm the better will his unancial condi tion become. There is room for all who are here and room and opportu- nlty for the thousands who may come. In any country it will take time to take a fortune from the soil and none of them have better Inducements to offer than north Nebraska. This la a now country , but there are set tlors who have been hero twenty or thirty years now the substantial men of the country to provo what it will do. The farm adjoining them offers the same opportunity for develop ment that thelr's offered years ago , but the farmer who expects to ap proximate their wealth in a year or two years , or half a dozen will not at tain his ambition. It has taken a number of years to develop the rich agriculturalist , but the same oppor tunity is still open to the persever ing man nnd the man who will put his muscle and his brain Into his work. Stay by the farm and wel come the man who will como and de velop the land that Is in the same neighborhood. Norfolk has the best location for a city in the state outside of Omaha and Lincoln , and Lincoln would not bo oxccpted but for the fact that tko scat of the state ovornment is there. All that is needed to bring Norfolk to the front is the development of the country and the host possible use pf the advantages to bo found horo. The contour of the country , the fact that the city is located at the place where two of the most fertile valleys of thot state join , the superb country lying tributary to the city' and the already very adequate railroad facil ities , leading In. from ; the cast , the > , * tfee Northwest , ' the * northeast ! and the south , allupoalt emphatically of the fact that the city will rapidly develop Into a first rank with the third Cities of the Htato. Norfolk Is not In a locality to experience com petition from any other city In the state and In that is Its greatest show for a successful development. It Is where the people of an Immensely broad and rich area desire to have a city located and they will demand of it the development that tholr business interests require. Right now is the time to crowd that development along to the mutual advantage of city and territory. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson re cently made a trip through Nebraska and IB quoted as saying of Its value as an agricultural state : "You people have wonderful oppotv tunltlos for intensive and profitable farming. Your soil Is most fertile , nnd all that Is necessary is the judi cious use of water and scientific cul tivation. The boots are fine , and will yield still larger returns ns you get more experience with them. I BOO no reason why you should not quadruple your acreage of beets nntl double your yield. You have the Boll and water. All you seem to neeil is good farming intensive cultiva tion to produce highly profitable crops. Your alfalfa is fine. With these great crops of alfalfa and suga- beets should como the dairy cow. II she Is given the right kind of treat ment she will pay the entire cost ol raising the beet crop and give you the beets at clear profit. ' Bradstrcot is an authority on com mercial activity in all lines of effort. Bradstreet is authority for the state ment that eighty-four per cent of the merchants Tvho failed last year were npn-advertlsers. The successful bus iness man cannot realize how an other can make both ends meet and not use printer's ink , but there will bo few of them who would believe that there Is that proportion of fail ures among the class that save what other's pay the printer and fail if Bradstrcot had not said it was so. It is said that ntney-slx per cent of the population of Russia can neither road or write. They are Just ni'w going through an experience that may give them an Impetus toward Intellectual attainments. If Japan should whip they will want to road about it and will have to learn hov ; . There will bo thousands of demo crats who are conservative to follow the lead of Grover Cleveland in sup porting President Roosevelt ifor an other term If it should happen that the democrats place a man like Mr. Hearst at the head of their ticket. The democrats are anxiously wait ing for the administration M show some evidences of favoritism ruJ" i1- Ing the war in the far east < o that they mny bo able to boost for the other sido. Blxby of the State Journal would like to make it unlawful for the people ple of Lincoln to spit on the side walks and pavements and here is hoping he may bo the valiant cru sader who wins. The Unite may possibly come when women who receive confections by mail or express will try them flrsf on the pug before they absorb the contents of the box. This would save a number of poisoning scrapes. Senator McCreary has sanctioned the test of a good democrat as being a vote for Bryan. Mr. Bryan is cer tainly an effective pro-convention worker , if ho does fall down when the ticket Is In the field. The Russo-Japanese war easily overshadows the political interests of this country , but the time is coming when the people will have scarcely time for a thought of war. The Fremont Tribune thinks it would bo no more than fair to Inform the people that the price of coal oil has been reduced six cents a barrel. It Is hardly worth noticing. The St. Louis Globe Democrat says : "Colonel Bryan Is making a masterly effort to blockade the port of Nebraska against the democratic flagship Cleveland III. " How would It do to permit Senator Smoot to organize a little senate of his own where none could question his right to a scat ? Several frosts are on the program before it will be at all judicious to tear down the base burner and throw aside the woolens. The Japs may be saving all the information at tholr command for the writer of historical novels. There are some early birds , but there Is no evidence to provo that that got the worm. r.

It often seems to work though no one has ever told why. When mothers arc worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul sion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and thin children Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat ment. We will send you the penny , /e. . _ , .a sample free.

If there is anything said about the sixteen to one proposition in the coming - ing democratic national convention it will bo spoken in such a wee small voice that no one without an especi ally trained ear will be able to catch the murmur. , . Mr. Bryan intends to be at least consulted regarding the democratic platform and the democratic candi date. He found that ho was able tq demand such consideration two pre ceding campaigns and does not pro * pose to permit the lapsing of his au- authority without at least an attempt to sway the business.
