The exposition might Just about ns well oloso Its doors whllo the demo cratic convention Is In progress next week. It will ho much the inoro at tractive show of the two. Considerable Interesting reading matter grew out of the fact that Mr. Uryan hud his portrait painted and now a bust of the famous Nebraska democrat Is being made In New York. If Miles should win the prohibition nomination after refusing to talk out as Fairbanks did In the republican convention Parker stock may be ex pected to go up another notch at St. Ixiuls. Just now there Is a rush for the Kansas harvest Holds by those anx ious to make from $1.50 to $ l.r ! > 0 per day , that would rival the crowds headed for some of the most famous summer resorts. The prohibitionists are stayers , anyway. Any other party that had dwindled to Its numbers would either disband absolutely or originate a now scheme and a new party that might stand a chance of gathering In a few votes. While John L. Webster did not have a great run of good luck at Chicago , we should all earnestly hope that A. O. Wolfetibarger of Lincoln will have a ladder long enough to capture tlio persimmon at Indlanapo 11s next week. The glorious Fourth Is but four days In the future almost everyone knows that , but if yon want it tlgura down to hours and minutes yon wil need to inquire of the average yount , American , between the ages of oigh and fourteen. Some of the railroads are discover ing that their competitors are dealing directly with notorious ticket scalp ers , and they fear that with this con dltlon of affairs there never will be an opportunity to get rid of this clas of ticket dealers. The progress being made by Nor folk and north Nebraska Is good t look upon by those who desire to wit ness prosperity and development The pace may be a little swift fo some but they will catch up eventi ally. The per capita wealth of the conn try Is greater than ever before an Is still Brewing some , therefore wll tore Inli'FR UNO than usual for the onmoialH to roalllrm tholr alloglonco i free sliver and the KaiiHiis City ilatform. That hoe In the bonnet of ( Joneral llloH IH very evidently of a persist- nt and limlHtont brood , If It can ring htm to the point of accepting u scant honors In tin- political line nit the prohibition parly him In Its mwor to dollvor. The ropubllcaiiH have failed utterly i stirring up nny antagonism or ( her excltomont In tholr own camp , ml they are almost beginning to ouhl ( ho ability of ( ho domooriits to ut up a light that will make the ampalgii Interesting. If I ho republicans should have eon permitted to hold Iholr coin-on- on after ( ho domocrals , It would ol Imvo boon possible for the latter arty to "vlow with alarm" the nssor- OIIH and pollcloH outlined In ( ho re- nbllcan platform. The llusslaiiH have announced that icy oxpool Mm war situation lo ho otoriiilnod In a very few days , now. 'hoy may possibly do something ( o 10 Japs , hut If they do Ihoro will 10 hundreds of people In America ho will never forgive them. With the armlos of Kuropatkln , \urlkl and Oku lined up In ( ho near olghhorhood of ( Mich other and the Kempt holng made by each lo out- inneuvor the others , Ihoro Is some eiiNon to suppose that something III happen when the Jockeying Is vor. It Is said that the only nowspa- or In Now York supporting learst and Uryan Is Hearst's own Journal anil American. ' This show- ig out of the 700 or 800 papers pub- shod In that city Is not a sign of ny great majority among the news- uper publishers. Senator Fairbanks , the republican andldato for vice president , traces Is descent back ( o pure Puritan lock , which will ho a reeommonda- on for him that will appeal to a largo umber of Americans who desire liolr chief olllcers ( o bo as distinct y American as possible. Nebraska rivals the sea shore and louiitain resorts this year In giving eel and bracing breezes and oilier omforls not customary to the good Id summer tlmo. There are few s'ebraskans to bo enticed away from omo this season by the offerings of ho summer resort peoplo. The Japs are wise In giving the { iisslan navy considerable leeway. If ho war lasts a few months longer , nd the sailors of the czar are given inplo opportunity that country will eon have no navy loft at all with vhlch to menace Japanese commerce ml the transport business. If General Miles refuses to speak nt so that the leaders of the prohl- illlou party may know that he Is not Midoavorlng to bunco them out of ho best gift In their Keeping , the icoplo of Nebraska will rise as one mil demand that the honor bo thrust ipon Mr. NVolfonbarger of Lincoln. That the section homesteads are 'onsldored ' of value by the people vim best know them Is shown by the uitlcipation of trouble at the Broken ,5ow olllco. People wluld never have .rouble . over worthless property , and f the homesteads are worth lighting 'or they are certainly worth having. Democrats should bo careful how hey criticise the republican candl- lates and the republican platform for the present. Perhaps after the St. .M\\\S \ \ \ convention has llnlshcd with tholr pet beliefs and theories they will bo only too glad to endorse the iction of tlio Chicago convention In toto. "Uncle Joe" Cannon , after that Chicago cage address , Is considered to have an ability as an orator that would not make him entirely unworthy of notice as a debater against the llowery oratory of Mr. Uryan , and such a debate might be arranged by the national committee with advan tage. The prohibition national convoiv tion will meet in Indianapolis next next week and place in nomination the ticket which members of that party will hope may bo able to show the gain In strength that should be the result from the natural Increase In prohibition families since the party was organized. All preliminaries leading up to the St. Louis convention are of a nature to guarantee It will ho as much nn like the Chicago convention as It Is possible to get. This Is not , howev er , an evidence of a democratic desire sire to be original. The leaders o the party would much prefer to ere ate an exact imitation of the Chlcag affair provided always , that It woulii be according to their idea of men and principles , find not as the other f < d- low would have It. That regatta at Kiel must have been worth seeing and the boats In the race mum have traveled uomc , but have you iiotlcod Nebraska In her nice for a bnmpor harvest. It IH not only an exciting one , but valu able results will accrue to the ntato as well as to those that are second and third In the running. After long and thoughtful consider ation and a wrestling with the temp tation that they wore holding out to him , Coue.ral Miles has Dually decid ed that ho will not accept the nomi nation for president on the prohibi tion ticket. It required a good deal of will ( Hiwor , but ho demonstrated that It was possible to resist. If Russia Is ( o decide the war dur ing Iho present wci-k , the forces ol Mint country now In the Held will bo compelled lo make a showing very soon. For the first few days of Iho week there Is nothing to Indicate but thai the Japanese Intend to keep on doing business that does not have the approval of tholr enemies. The republicans of Oregon ' rolled up a majority of "I/JIT for their can didate for supreme Judge out of a to tal vote of ! ! ) . : > . This should he ovIiloiico sulllclont that Oregon Is In Iho republican column , and the democrats - crats should not Immediately accred it Its electoral votes to the St. Louis nominee , after such nomination has been mado. The people of towns who have not Fourth of July celebrations of tholr own are Just now busy trying to form a choice among the excellent attractions that an ; offered by the surrounding communities , and it is a hard pro | > osiloii ! to determine , as all of them have offerings of real merit to appeal to the amusement lover and the patriot. A recent tabulation of ( he dele gates to the St. Louis convention , n week from tomorrow showsITS , -ITS uiiln- structed ; 270 Instructed for Parker ; 151 ! Instructed for Hearst ; III ! for Ol- noy ; l ! ( ! for Wall and six for Gray. The merry scramhlo will be to llnd out which candidate can swing the majority of those who go to the con vention iininstructed. A Scrlbni'r man was recently tried on a charge of Insanity because ho wouldn't work , claiming he could live better without such exertion. The Insanity board was foolish for tr > lng any such dodge. Ho was evl- dently very sane. The people who should have been examined for symp toms of dementia wore those who have been guilty of feeding him. The democrats meet In Fremont to day to n.inie their candidates for the concessional race In this , the Third district. 1'revlous to the meeltng of the convention It has looked very much like a cut and dried affair in ' favor of P. K. McKIUIp of Humphrey , be being the only one who has shown i any desire to enter a contest at some conslderabo expense , that looks like a losing ono from the start. The prohibitionists are about as successful as the democrats at dig ging up new issues. Just now It has boon discovered at the Indianapolis convention that the "canker worm of the west" and the most serious men ace to American Institutions Is the polygamy of Utah , and the democrats are classed as equally guilty with the republicans for permitting It to ex ist. The number of women in line for the section homesteads in the west offered under the Kinkald law is . evidence that the "now woman" Is ever awake to opportunities that formerly attracted only men , and in the section tiling and the filings that will be made on the Rosebud next week women will undoubtedly cap ture some of the best offerings on the books of Uncle Sam. A scientist has discovered that beans and peanuts have all the quali ties necessary to maintain life and produce strength. If this had been said of corn and oats , or iK > rk , there might have been a suspicion Mint ho was a bull on the board of Irade , but t Inasmuch as ho says It of the mod est peanut and the popular bean , he cannot have had any other object than helping out the producers of these staples. The republican platform states a remarkable fact when it says that during the fortytfour years since the organization of the republican party , the democratic party has had abso lute control of the government but two years. U Is a showing that the republican party represents the people plo and that the people trust the par ty in a way that canhot bo disputed. r1. The two years that the democrats dis secure control bear such a record that It will bo many years before they will again be intrusted with the management of the country. It dw require more than promises of reform to again make the people be- Hove that they are needed In the high olllcos , | of the nation. If the leading Issue of the demo cratic party during the coming cam paign Is to ho In the direction of the free trade they have always sworn lo honor and assist , they will have a dllllcnlt lime In burying from the people tin- fact that the only free trade country In the world has re- cenlly talti'ii long strides toward protection , as a hotter thing for the commercial Interests and the pros perity of the peoplo. If there was oven a faint suspi cion on the part of the American people that Hoosevelt and Fairbanks looked . anything like the pictures of thorn that have been presented in some of the papers they would un doubtedly lose hundreds of votes. If the cut In one of the Nebraska stale papers had not boon labeled "Fairbanks , " Its readers would have boon Justified In suposlng that It was a likeness of Charles Gultoati. Dr. Wiley , who had recently made tests regarding the consequences of using iKilsoned and adulterated food , has given II out that the line of such food Is not bonellclal to the human person. Such a conclusion had here tofore boon reached by a largo num ber of people who have preferred pure and wholesome food to any con coction of the manufacturers , but they will be glad to know that Dr. Wiley olllclally agrees with them. If some of the fruit had not boon prematurely jarred from the trees in Mils section of the state , the limbs would undoubtedly have broken when the crop had reached full maturity. The prollllc yield this year is full evt > donee that the greatest lack of Nebraska braska ' to make It a famous fruit- producing state Is the absence of the trees. ' When more people got to planting I Irees and orchards Nebraska soil and climate will quickly and of' fectually do the rest. Nebraska and the west have beer honored by the appointment of Charles 1C. Magoon of Lincoln , as general counsel for the Isthmian ca mil commission. It Is a position of much responsibility , hut those who know Mr. .Magoon say that he is perfectly competent of attending to tlie matters that will come to his attention. ' Mr. Magoon has been fit ted for the post by his work In con noctlou ' with the government of Porto Rico , Hawaii , and the Philippine Islands. I ll is not probable that "Uncle Joe' Cannon will come anywhere near to filling all his engagements and ac cepting all the invitations that will shower upon him during the presided tlal campaign. Since he proved him self so popular as the chairman o . the republican national convculloii ho can bo assured of speaking to a gXd ( crowd wherever he may orate during the campaign. Nebraska would not for a moment object t ( hearing him a few times during MIL campaign excitement. It is said that the first 000 or 700 claims that will be drawn at the Kosebnd opening will be worth fron $800 to $5,000 apiece and the person who get Into the reservation iushk these numbers cannot be accountet otherwise than very fortunate. It wll he almost like finding a gold mine and it may bo presumed In advanc that the chances will not be permit ted to go begging. There are bun dreds of people already there waiting for the opening and thousands art undoubtedly on the way. It looks suspicions to n natural pco pie when a belligerent nation begin complaining long and loud about nn fair treatment by their foes , or Mi Ignoring of rules and regulations adopted at peace conferences. I looks considerably like the play the small boy puts up regularly when he Is under In a fight. Russia and Ja pan have taken turns at making thci complaints to the nations of the earth , and they appear to be madi at the time when the position of th one making the protest Is the leas secure. At 9 o'clock this morning there wa n general hurry for the land ofllce In the districts affected by the no\ land law which permits the taking o section homesteads. As there ar something like 7.000,000 acres to b homestcadcd in this manner am most of the sections offered will ai ford a good income to a family , thor should bo a material improvement t result in the western portion of Mi state. With a now family on over , section of land in the district co\ ored it cannot but help that sectlo of the country and the state Itscl The democrats will never forgiv the delegates to the republican con vention at Chicago for not preclpltat ing a fight or two and a few disagree ments over candidates and measures f ( hey had been planning the enliven- Ion for the pleasure and the delec- atlon of the democrats they would ave had nothing else than a split , vith half of the delegates leaving the all In a raging fury , but unfortunate- y for the Joy that might have throb- ed In the democratic heart , the wish- s of that party were not for a mo- lent consulted. The people who have asserted and ) elleve ( that the Russians would soon , inlsh , little Japan when the war van really under good headway are u.t till t waiting for news confirming heir belief. Up to date the Japs mve only suffered a few minor re- orses cither on land or on sea. whllo ho Russians have had serious losses it almost every engagement. The lusslan aucccss In the far east ap- lears to rest In attacking and sink- UK defenseless transports and mor- ! hantmcn. They steer clear of the essels that are known to have load ed guns aboard. The democrats have found some- hlng else that they cannot approve > f In the republican party , and that s the readiness with which It accepts jonverts from tholr parly and gives .hem honors equal to their ability to lorform , as with Paul Morton. That s ono of the republican traits. It ocognl/.os ability wherever II may lie found , and If such ability will . 'oino as a friend and the loaders of Iho party have the place ( o use It. they will not question a man's pre vious political record. Had the dcm- mrats long ago admitted that any good could come out of the republi can party , it would now be less dllll- cult lor them to find friends there. City people who have not recently visited the country express astonish ment at the progress and develop ment of the farm houses and the farmers. There was a time when a city man could visit a farm and not expect to hear from the city oftener than t once a week. Now ho finds the farmer and his family getting the news every day through the dally pa pers that are brought to his door by the rural carrier and If there is need of later and quicker communication with the outer world ho has the tele phone. The next stop in ( he advancement - mont of the rural distrlcls may be a network of electric lines that will haul the people and their products to the city. Matters appear to be tak ing a course In just that direction. The withdrawal of more than a mil lion ' acres In western Nebraska from homestead entry for the present means something better than the mere homesteading of semi-arid land In the near future. With ono of the large Irrigation projects of the gov ernment established where the land is now withheld there Is a prospect of a time to come when thousands of small farms will be available that will produce abundantly as long as there Is water with which to irrigate , With the Irrigation projects working In from the west and the natural de velopment of soil and climate pro ceodlng from the east the day Is not very far distant when all of the state will be available for agricultural pur poses and producing in abundance foi the feeding of the people of the earth. Visitors returning from California and the coast report that the grasses and other vegetation are done to a brown turn. Everything except where there is irrigation , Is parchei and dry , and this is about the usual thing out there. As they proceed further east of the Heckles they be gin to see bunches of buffalo grass that show slight signs of life am' ' when the green fields of Nebraska are reached their eyes drink in the beauty of the state with a feeling of thankfulness that there are green spots on earth and if they are rest- dents here they shake hands with themselves on their excellent good fortune. People who would give up the beauty that Nebraska spreads be fore the eye at this season of the year for a dry landscape are evi dently lacking an eye for the beau ties of nature. The rush for section homesteads In | west Nebraska is on this week and : that for the homestead of the regulation size will be under way at the Rosebud reservation next week After they are all over the wise man having a little money to place in a home , will return to northeast Nebraska braska and make sure of as gooc land as there Is out of doors at a reasonable sonablo price. Those journeying either way cannot fall to have no ticed the splendid scenery , the rlcl soil and the flourishing crops that are the boast of this section of the state If they have bad farming experience they will not require other advertise ment to attract them to this sectlot of the west. The lucky fellows to draw good lands in west Nebraska and at the Rosebud will probably re main there , but there will be man > Just as lucky who will take the evi "NERVOUS AND IRRITABLE.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications , as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness , and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing or the Eustachlan tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing , and when it is entirely closed , deafness is the result , and unless the inflamma tion can be taken out and this tube re stored to its normal condition , hearing will bo destroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh , which is nothing but an inflamed con dition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness ( caused by catarrh ) that cannot be cured by j Hall's Catarrh cure. Send for circu lars free. P. J. Cheney & C.o Toledo , Ohio.
