LnwBou may succeed In teaching the people of KniiBiiH HoniuthliiK about the Jlu JetHii of octopuses , but they nro pretty smooth people , themselves , and It la possible tlmt their necom- lillshmonls In that direction will equal his. It IH almost osHcntlnl that Russia iihonld linvo HOIIIO loyal Honinen on the portion of Its licet supposed to bo ntlll under government control before It can make any effectlvo headway against the Knlnz Potcmklno , or nth- or vessel tlmt rofiiRCB to longer bo governed by the c/.nr's oIllclalH. ThlngB tire beginning to loolc BUS- plc.hniBly lllto the Japs were almost ready to engage In another winning battle in the Kar Kant. Llnevltehhns reported a victory to the C7.nr , nnd under KuropatUIn this waa an alinoHt Infallible algn that the Japanese were on the o\e of a bloody hut successful battlo. John 11. Rockafeller la up to now tricks. Ills pastor at Cleveland was presented with a basket of potatoes In each of which wan found a five dollar lar gold pleco. "Whether the oil king thought that potato would remove the tnlnt , or whether It wns merely meant ns n. pleasant surprise for the preach er's wlfo when she cnmo to prepare the spuds for dinner hns not been explained. The story comes from Itorlln tlmt Kmperor William Is compelled to ex orcise great economy In making both ends meet. Ills Income of a million pounds Is found to bo Inadequate to Ills needs. Ho receives no salary as emperor of Germany , but his Income Is from his olllco as king of Prussia ixnd as n private land owner. If , however , ho Is dissatisfied , ho might IInil those who are. willing to assume the job and the Income. In spite of the agitation that has been made In favor of a safe and sane Fourth the total number of casualties this year now exceed those of the nntal day last year by some eleven deaths and 120 Injuries. The Chlcn- KO Tribune's figures for this year show GO dead and 3.100 Injured. Something stronger than agitation and laws may have to be devised to prevent patriot ic Americans from sacrificing life and limb to the Glorious Fourth. Tom Lawson Is In Kansas telling the people of that state how to best throttle the octopuses that they have tackled. While there he should not fail to meet MMHO of the fathers of the movement who came Into fame through the populist uprising and made It their special duty to declare against the organized wealth that I-nw- son Is now fighting right In the heart of Its strength. An exchange of Ideas might he of permanent value to both. It Is asserted In certain quarters that the Panama canal will never be built. People who make such a state ment evidently do not realize the de termination of President Roosevelt , or the American people who will Insist on a president to follow him of the same will and spirit. "Work on the canal will certainly be prosecuted during Mr. lloosovelt's term and the people can be rolled upon to see that It Is afterward continued to comple tion. The excessive rains of the Missouri valley have at last resulted In a swellIng - Ing of the nig Muddy until its banks are no longer capable of holding It nnd the water Is flooding the lowlands In a manner that threatens much val uable property. If not life. The de layed June floods are making them selves manifest much further north than usual and there will be new lo calities , beyond a doubt , to register a demand for a scientific and perma nent control of the stream. President Roosevelt and the coun try is to be congratulated that Ellhu Hoot , ex-cecretary of war , has been Induced to a rain become a member of the R xBOvelt cabinet ns successor to the late Secretary of Htate Hay He IB thoroughly qualified for the most Important cabinet omco nnd will give service that will bo appreciable to the people. The death of Secretary Hay meant n serloiiB IOBB to the proBldent'fl political family , but the man chosen In his place will compensate for much of It. An Indiana traveling man has run counter to the aiitl-clgarelte law In that Btato nnd IH now serving out a Iwenty-nlno day sentence In default if a payment of a fine of $25 nnd costs. No Rlmllnr case 1ms yet come ip In Nebraska , In fact It IH not known that there bun been a viola tion of the law , denlcra and others apparently having agreed to abldo by the statute rather than to run the risk of prosecution for a few cents of profit. While mniiy people from nil paitn of the country are hitting the trail for Portland , "The Trail" at the ex position has been hit by the Sunday closing rule of the exposition man agement. and there waa nothing doing there last Sunday. The concession alres proposed to open up whether the management lilted It or not Hut when the guards received orders to close them by force If necessary In event they opened up , the people own Ing the concessions thought better of the matter and remained closed. nenoral Llnovlteh Is having his ox perlences with mutinous spirits the same ns IH Admiral Krugor , according to all accounts. It Is reported from l mdon via Toklo tlmt the general has sentenced a number of his otll- eers to death for clrculutlng seditious lltoraluro. H Is another line of evi dence that Russia should either try a republic or know the delights of anarchy. With the army nnd navy and the people anil some of the gov ernment olllclals In a position con trary to the c/.ar It would seem that the empire Is ( ihont on Its last pins. It Is not much cause for wonder that the little Japs have been able to wrest victory after victory from Its big antagonist since the beginning of the war when the same country Is completely cowed by one rebel war ship. If the terrorists had but half n dozen warships nnd 100,000 men under arms the czar's government would bo about as good ns out of the running. Russia will have no right to be classed as one of the world's great powers until there shall bo a very different sort of evidence of her capacity for fighting and governing. Editor Rosewnter has again been cleared of libel , this time In the Howell - ell case. It Is being demonstrated by the Nebraska courts' that a person bringing n libel suit must have a very clear case of malicious nnd damaging statement unsupported by fact. Ed itors of Nebraska papers will bo grot Itled to know that they should not fear ii case of libel every time n person's name appears In print In a connection that ho does not like. Kditors usually have troubles enough of their own without defending themselves In every foolish charge of libel that may bo brought by an angry reader. After a service of twenty-two years In n capacity of honor in the country , Senator Mitchell has been declared guilty by a jury of his peers of put ting his olllco to a debased use , and whether other trials or technicalities of the law succeed In warding off punishment or not , he can never again hold the confidence of the people of his state or the country. It Is laws and courts that sift out those who err In high ofllce that have the respect and endorsement of the entire people nnd It Is to be desired that such trials aa these will prevent others high In olllce from violating the trust that has been placed In them. They must be honorable and trustworthy. The hopes of Kansas to have a state oil refinery have gone glimmerIng - Ing , and with it the ambition of sev eral other states to go and do like wise If It promised success. The supreme premo court hns declared that the law Is unconstitutional and the Kan sas fighters of Coal Oil Johnnie will have to begin over again or acknowl edge a disastrous defeat. If the Kan- snns are real sincere In their fight this will be a stimulant rather than a dose of Knockout drops to their am bition and they will see that the con stitution Is so fixed that they may have a state refinery if that is the only way of meeting the octopus in the fight that has been Inaugurated. When It comes to salaried office , the sultan of Turkey Is the high-up- pest in the bunch of world rulers , re ceiving $10.000.000 a year. His coun try Is neither rich nor his rule honor able throughout , but he somehow knows the recipe for making his people ple bow down before him and contrib ute of their fiubstnnce. He Is smart enough , too , to keep them separated from the Intelligence nnd education that -would show them their standing among other peoples of the world , even to the extent of forbidding them the Illblo. His tlrmi for trouble will come , however , an sure as the czar of Russia IB having trouble , nnd the people of his kingdom will Insist upon their rights and get them. In this enlightened age It will be Impossible to kenp In Ignorance an entire people. There Is more catarrh In this sec- Ion of the country than all other dls- casoR put together , nnd until the last few years was supposed to bo Incur able. For a great many yeara doctors ironounccd It a local disease and pro scribed local remedies , and by con stantly falling to euro with local treat- nent , pronounced It Incurable.

There are occasions and frequent ones when a stone Image could not resist the Impulse to fall In love with Nebraska and the weather of the state and the past few days have been of that sort , to Inspire veneration and levotlon. In summer world famous resorts nro rivalled In the purity and freshness of the air and In the winter the seasons of mildness and bright sunshine are manifest. In fact at the very times when many localities are at their worst Nebraska Is at her best making It a joy to live and breathe. Nebraska prairies are now pictures of loveliness and the air nnd sunshine nnd cool nights are of a quality unsurpassed anywhere. John F. Wallace might take a les son In patriotism from Ellhu Root who leaves a law practice worth a quarter of a million a year to assume the portfolio of secretary of state at the salary of $8,000 a year. It Is not always the immediate amount of mon ey paid that counts for the most. If Mr. Wallace had served his country faithfully and well for n term of years , he might have resigned with honors nnd taken the best position In his line that the country has to offer. Ho may succeed In his present under taking , but his employers have need to apprehend a resignation in the midst of an Important duty if he Is offered n raise of wages. Three Good and Just Reasons. There are three reasons why moth ers prefer Ono Minute Cough Cure : First , It Is absolutely harmless ; second end , it tastes good children love It ; third , It cures coughs , croup and whooping cough when other remedies fall. Sold by Asa K. Leonard. Indigestion Cured. There Is no case of indigestion , dys pepsia or stomach trouble that will not yield to the digestive and strength ening influence of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. This remedy takes the strain off the stomach by digesting what you eat and allowing it to rest until It grows strong again Kodol Dyspepsia Cure affords quick and permanent re lief from Indigestion nnd all stomach troubles , builds up the system and so purifies that disease can not attack and gain a foothold as when in a 1 weakened condition. The constantly Increasing use of Kodol Dyspepsia . Cure by physicians of hospital and general practice of itself tells how this wonderful modern discovery hoe proven to be the greatest dlgcatant tor the alleviation of a Buffering human ity. . Its many cures of both children and ndulta grows larger day by day. Sold by Ann K , Leonard. There are lots of men nnd lota of towim pretending to enterprise that can afford to take off their lints to Hartlngton , where a movement Is un der way for the forming of a country club. Thirty shares of Block at $50 n share have been Issued and the first In will bo first served. A good alto for n club hoitso linn been se em ed , and they propose to have a lowllng nlloy , tennis courts , croquet lawns nud golf links. Plans for n iltib house have been prepared nnd will bo on display In a few dnya. It n sometimes supposed tlmt only city people nnd wealthy ones at that , could nfford the privileges nnd enjoyments of a club , .but hero Is a little town with n population of only a thousand that Is preparing to demonstrate Its title to a club house nnd nil that that means. Thirty to fifty men could bo found In nlmost any town with n llf- ty to spare tlmt would form n nice nucleus for a club fund nnd could pay the dues necessary to keep It go- Ing. In this nge of hustle for the nlmlghty dollar It Is worth while to learn of communities with tlmo to partake of some of the passing en joyments of life and a knowledge of how to go nt It.

The latest indication of their shrewdness being shown In the announcement that negotiations for nn armistice will not bo concluded un til after the meeting of the plenipo tentiaries of the two countries. In other words the little brown men re serve the right to punish General Llnevitch in the event that his gov ernment should show any Inclination to step out of the peace negotiations. After a meeting of the peace envoys , If they agree to an armistice , the Jnps will bo ready to bury the hatchet for he time being. Another shrewd move ivns to prevent the Chinese from en- erlng the negotiations. Japan has promised that Manchuria should be restored to Its rightful owners and that is considered sufficient. If they : md the reputation of Russia on such matters , the Chinamen might be thoroughly justified in demanding a hearing. A Kansas paper has ridiculed Ne braska because only 4,000 extra farm hands were asked to help In the har vest of the wheat crop which is now ripening , but Don C. Despain who sent the appeal does not give the Sunflower state any advantage In the reply made to the article. It is true that Kansas has the higher record on the harvest of wheat , but Nebraska comes up on her In such a way that It is clearly proven the best agricultural state of the two. Because of Its diversified farming It Is possible to handle the crops maturing at different seasons without much outside help , which in itself is an advantage , and there is the further advantage of not depend ing exclusively upon one cron for a harvest , nor running the risk of over production on ono crop with n consequent quent slump In prices that would be disastrous. Mr. Despain's figures show that during the season of 190-1 Ne braska's harvest of four principal grain crops corn , wheat , oats , barley and rye exceed that of Kansas by 112,382,530 bushels , the totals being Nebraska 333,132,030 bushels , and Kansas 220,751,007 bushels. Tills showing Is In spite of the fact that Kansas produced 05,019,171 bushels of wheat , while Nebraska's wheat crop for the same year was but 31.S25.S50 or less than half as much. In addition to this achievement of beating Kan sas on the grain crops. Nebraska pro duced 5,308,1170 tons of hay to 2,008.- 001 tons for Kansas , and Nebraska raised fl.lMU-IS bushels of potatoes while Kansas had but 5,540,560 bush els of the popular Irish fruit Kansas will probably hereafter find It advant ageous to study up on statistics a bit before It Is ever again tempted to give Nebraska a swipe on its adapt ability as an agricultural section of the country , Miss Flossie Vail left this morning for a visit to her grandmother at Rock RapldB , Iowa. THE REPUBLICANS WILL MEET ON SEPTEMBER 6. NOMINATE COUNTY OFFICERS Candidates for County Treasurer , Clerk , Sheriff , Judge Superinten dent of Public Instruction , Coroner , Surveyor and Commissioner. The republican county convention o plnco In nomination candidates for county officers , will bo held nt Bat- lo Creek on Wednesday , September 0 , call to that effect having been Is sued by the county central commit- eo. It Is planned to have only ono county convention this year , and for that reason the ono will ho held early. The reason for this Is that the ropub- lean state convention will bo held on September 1-1 , to which Madison coun ty will elect nineteen delegates , and to save the expense of a second con vention candidates will bo placed In nomination nt the same tlmo for coun ty treasurer , clerk , sheriff , Judge , su perintendent of public Instruction' , coroner , surveyor nnd county com missioner from the First district. Politics hns had a backset this year on account of the biennial elections bill which passed the last session of the legislature , providing that the election on odd years bo done away with , but the decision of the supreme court that the bill was unconstitu tional revives the matter with a rush. As a consequence prospective candi dates for nomination will make them selves exceedingly busy during the ensuing eight weeks until the county convention. Following Is the call : Republican County Convention. . To the Republican Electors of Mad- Isnu Countv. Nebraska : Notlco Is hereby given that n repub lican delegate convention of the repub lican electors of Madison countv.

GREER , MILLS & CO. View of the Live Stock Markets at South Omaha , C. A. Mallory , Mgr. South Omnha. July 13. Nothing new or startling has occurred in the- cattle branch of the business this week. With normal receipts alf around and' a good demand for air grades of fat cattle , the trade ruled fairly active and prices have been weir sustained. Present prices for strictly fat cattle are not high compared with the cost . - of production or when compared with ' former years , but there seems to be ) enough cattle to go around and a gen eral desire to market them. Range cattle will be a little later than usual , owing to the late rains , but we look for a free movement from all sections and lower prices than the present ones on most grades. We still advise shipping native cattle fast as ready , especially butchers' stock , and anything that will compete with range cattle. Stockers and feeders are sell ing at about steady prices , while fat butchers' stock Is selling better In proportion than any other grades. Write to us regarding any branch of the live stock business or any of the markets and we will give you the latest and best we have. Hogs. The packers have fought the market hard and succeeded In holdIng - Ing it down here , pretty well , but the shipping and fresh meat trade has im proved and prices have reached the best of the year. All who have re ceived and read our market reports or are In special correspondence with us , know that wo have been "right" on the markets , and as wo give our per sonal attention to each branch of the business and In close touch with all of the-markets , are prepared to furnish reliable information and do good work.
