At first they were very Indignant , as they had paid $1,500 each for a license , but , as one puts it : "As time were on | however , my grievance became less mnd loss each day , as I became aware t the fact that my Increased cash reg ' ister receipts would not support my toolings.

' Ennn's Campaign Opens. Ccntervlllo , S. D. , Oct. 19. George W. Eean of Sioux Falls opened his campaign for governor of South Da kota by making two speeches in the opera house hero to houses which uti i- lized .ill scats and standing room. Mr. Egan was accompanied by his secretary and treasurer , II. C. Bright of Sioux Falls , and his managers , W. Q. Tyler and J. Culbortson , and ho was Introduced by Louis Borwln of this place at the afternoon meeting , and by S. L. Brown in the evening. Egan declared himself In favor of nil the progressive legislation that has been enacted In state and nation , and 1 for nil that Is now proposed In South Dakota , and in addition would make positions on all boards as well as the heads of all public Institutions elective instead of appointive. He recognize ? that In his present contest ho Is stand ' ing alone , the progressive loaders de clining to confer with him or eon-shier him n factor In the future possibilities for position. Egan's reply to the at i tacks made against him Is couched tn the nature of doflanco , his language being : ' If any man opposing mo In this campaign gets a higher per cent of the votes of the county from which he hales than I receive at the hands of the bravo men and virtuous women njnong whom I live , I will refuse to accept the nomination , though the of- flclal count In the whole state gave It to me by 20,000 votes. Lot this bo my answer to nil the lying gossips and slandering tongues now and for all tlmo. " Thlnns As They Are. With scrupulous care a man scours his teeth and puts on n clean shirt and forthwith he bites off a chunk of tobacco and proceeds to squirt It over bis shirt front. A nuin lays the sidewalk to his homo In adamantine cement and carves his name therein for nil tlmo , and the next day the undertaker carries him out and n workman erases forever bis futile effort to perpetuate his fame. However , much wo may grlove , af- lerwaids It seems entirely satisfactory that "dead men como hack never. " Most pcoplo have a variegated as(1 sortmont of faults and virtues and it Is a safe rule , at least for those of us who rldo bicycles , to refrain from scat--i ' | tcrlng broken glass along each other's pathway. There are n lot of fellows who could never succeed In filling their game bags If they did not employ stalking horses. The most hopeless case Is that of the confidential person who enters a closet and locks the door and when ho Is alone partakes In secret from someic thing he has In n bottle. A serene life may only bo another name for dope. Health , heart and heaven are In ward , but people generally look for them elsewhere. There Is n propaganda of inhibition for every vice of mankind except that of gluttony. The chances are that the Lord will save everyone worth saving without any free advice from us. There Is no statute of limitation t > n a man's ago. When the senses petrify , that Is old ago. . People who cherish the fiction that they are the keepers of their neighPC bors' conscience , seldom 'ock up their own nt night."l When you see a vast mansion just recently completed and inquire who built It , the reply generally Is , "It was built by the late lamented and so forth , but Is now occupied by strangers. " You can't keep the Lord's business active by ringing a cow bell. Idle wives and unmated men have sent more people to perdition than all the brass flagons of the king's laughm ing soup. I Life has its compensations. A man skins his neighbor out of ten dollars In a horse trade , and In turn he gets touched by a stranger for four figures. The man who hollers the loudest about petticoat domination and the .femlulnelzntlon . of Una .labor market Is apt to bo the one who does the least to keep up his own end of the doubletrees. J. H. Macknv 1 Plan New State House. Lincoln , Oct. 19. The construction of a new cnpltol or the start on the construction will enter into" the next campaign. The matter was discussed to a considerable extent during the lost legislature , but the leaders of that body insisted that the legislature must make n record for economy and thus no progress was made. Now that the . state debt Is wiped out and the state board of equalization has abolished the one-mill levy for the creation of a re- demptlon fund to pay off the debt. It is being argued that the taxpayers would . bo willing to continue paying that one- mill in order to create a fund for the construction of the new building. By building a wing at a time it is figured s a new state house could be built with- in four or live years at a cost of some $2,000.000 or more and the tax would be so small the wcjrk would be fin- lsho'\ before the taxpayers realized they wore spending t.io money. The ! present state bouse has long since proven Inadequate. The public library . which could not bo replaced at any w price is housed In one wing of the building which Is entirely too small n for It and It Is subject to destruction . by fire at any time. That there Is considerable sentiment for a new building was demonstrated last winter when objection was made to starting ! n $ G5.000 building for the state historlo leal society. The appropriation which was to begin this structure was vetoed by Governor Shallenbergor. The general - oral Fcntimont seemed to be to con- . struct the new state house before spending any preat amount of money .t for n historical building. . ly It Is now legal for anyone In the s state to shoot and kill squirrels. During - ing October and November the law provides an open season for these an- ! " imals and the slaughter Is likely to bo something terrible. Since 1903 It 5 cc has been unlawful to kill squirrels In Nebraska and as a result the state Is overrun with them , In some sections to such an extent that they have bec' como pests. At Auburn some tlmo ago several squirrels went mad and"r bit a couple of little girls. This cans- ° / cd the city authorities of the cominu- nity to open the season on squirrels n rc. little ahead of tlmo , but It Is reported , there arc lots of them yet in Auburn. | The supreme court of the state has certain rules and these rules will be followed by practicing attorneys or there will bo trouble. The city attor- fr noy and his two deputies of Omaha have been cited for contempt because w of disrespectful language u ed In n | H " brief filed In the court. The briefs were ordered stricken from the files. I It now remains only for the attorneys ' to appear and receive punishment at tl-o bands of the court. In times past In orsous have been fined for being dls- respectful to the court and lawyers In ' have had their briefs stricken from of ' the files and they have saved themtn selves more scilous punishment by In ' apologizing to the Judges. Id Thornberg Held for the Murder. Nollgh. Oct. 19. Special to The ISOWH : The preliminary hearing of F. M. l Thoruhorg , charged with the shootw Ing | , , and killing of his neighbor , A. G , Rakow , , about two weeks ago , was hold hoforo County Judge Wilson yesrt terday , afternoon. After the Humming up of the evl- donee that was given by the witnesses , the court held him guilty on the charge , of murder In the first degteo , and Without bull , to the next term of tho.e district ' court , which convenes on December 13. The sentiment In the nclihhorhood ; of the itiiuow nome Is repotted to be anything but of n friendly nature , and It Is common talk that If the prisoner had boon lot out on ball that his life would ( bo In danger. Sheriff Miller Is taking no. chances with his charge. Even yesterday at the j court house he look Thornberg Inw tn one of the jurv rooms until the building was cleared of all spectators before he consldored It safe to take ntm ( | to tlio county Jail , n half block distant. . Republican Party In Nebraska. Nebraska Prp = p Bulletin : When the democratic ' politician ro 'oi buying nround n1 ? n "imn-rartl an" and 1m- ploreH tl'o roiMibllcan voter to support doivocrntlc candidates It might bo well , for tl < o voter thus t inlorcd to lay off n minute and consider what the republican - publican , , party In the state has - compllshed In the recent past for the benefit , of a'l ' the pee lo of Nebraska and also what. If anything , the demoni cratlc party which Is cocking his vote has done f ° r the general good. The republican party gave to the state u direct primary law which , while ' perhaps not perfect , had In It tl'o < ' sound principles for the safeguardtj Ing ' of popular government In the hands of the people. The party gave to * the state the railway commission law , the 2-cont passenger faro law , the anti-pass - law , the commodity rate law , the ' express rate law and the best reva enue law under which the state 1ms 1 ever rested. Republican admlnlstrai tlon ' ' paid off without burden to the 1 people a state debt aggregating nearly two millions , through economy and ' business management of public InterQ ests. ests.What What has the democratic party done to deserve public approval over and ' above the republican record ? Nothn ing added to which Its mistakes and 1 failures bavo been widespread and ' phenomenal. ' The democratic party garbled the primary law out of all 1 semblance to its original intent and I meaning and has rendered it a by- word instead of a powerful instru ment for good. The democratic party I . amended out of the revenue law its 1 vital' features for securing equity and uniformity in the valuation of all propj erty whether private or corporate. In J constructive legislation the democratic party ' failed utterly and left only a record of legislation creating places ! for democrats on the public pay-roll and abortive to further j11 attempts ex- tend the list of odlco-holdors by the | ' attempted t creation of a board of "beer Inspectors" whose combined salaries would . , "touch" the public treasury for the neat sum of $11,000 per year. This is but a passing glance at the comparison that may be truthfully made at the records of the two parties jn Nebraska. I When the democratic politician goes out this year with his "non-partisan" gun to bag a few republican votes for party ( record up to him for a target and bis score card will show "no hits. " Fights Fire , Though Burned. Sioux Falls , S. D. , Oct. 19.

Instead of f rushing ' for assbtance after the severe . vere burns bad been Inflicted , he re mained manfully by the house , and af ter . a hard fight ptevented Its utter r destruction by the flames , which had I been ' communicated to the woodwork : when the explosion took place.

Lincoln News : Cerebro-splnal men ingitis and poliomyelitis , two forms of' spinal disease which swept with epitli domic force over Polk and York counN tics last July and August and resulted in something like GOO cases of moro or less severity , have reached Lincoln , I Havelock and University Place , sevtc oral cases already having been dis covered and quarantined. The first form Is described as an Inin ' lamination of the covering of the spinal cord and the brain , and the , second as an inflammation of certain portions of the spinal cord. Both may produce some form of paralysis of the muscles of the body , but physicians say that polio-myelitis is less fatal than cerebro-spinnl meningitis. I Happily the number of deaths arc I few ln proportion to the number of I cases of each form of spinal trouble , , j At n conference at New York of over thirty physicians , who had been engaged - | gaged In combatting the epidemic In i Polk and York counties , reports I ' showed that out of 450 cases but three ( ' per cent reached a fatal termination. , I Itev was found , however , that in nearly every case the patient who recovered 1 was left with some form of paralysis. In many cases the paralysis was slight ; and the possibility of Its disappear ance was bright. In severe cases It ; was believed that. It was a grave ques tion whether the sufferers would not ; be crippled for life. I Registration Half Over , 34,468. Aberdeen , S. D. , Oct. 19.
