Nebraska's most crying need is revi
sion of its revenue laws that will enforce
the constitutional mandate for equal taxa
tion of all property and franchises accord
ing to its actual worth.
It is encouraging to know that while
the "good roads" speakers and writers
are agitating the air all over the country,
the commissioners of Lancaster county
are quietly going ahead with their grad
ing machines and making fine new roads
at the rate of more than 100 miles a year.
They have in all 1,700 miles of road in
the county. In a little more than two
seasons they have gone over 300 miles
of the more important roads with the
steam graders, leaving them smooth and
hard and high and dry, fit for use in al
most any weather. They make a road
way forty feet wide, crowning up gently
from smooth and regular gutters on each
side. This road is so satisfactory and
so cheap that it must be considered the
permanent road for this part of the
state until something better is devel
oped. A road can be built in this fash
ion for $10 a mile, and kept in repair for
a trifle. If the commissioners had $2,000
a mile to spend they could not select a
material that would be more satisfac
tory under all conditions of weather and
travel than the good honest dirt they
are now using. The problem is solved
for this county, therefore, as well as it
can be solved, and there is nothing to do
but to keep the steam outfits moving
until every main road is finished from
Lincoln to the county line. Lincoln

The smoke of woolen rags is a cure for
the most dangerous wounds. A lady of
my acquaintance ran a machine needle
through her finger. She could not be
released until the machine was taken to
nieces. The needle had broken in her
finger in three pieces, one of which was
bent almost double. After repeated
trials the pieces were extracted by pin
cers, but they were very strongly imbed
ded. The pain reached the shoulder,
and there was every danger of lockjaw.
The woolen rags wi3 put over the coals
and she held her finger over the smoke,
and in a very short time all the pain was
gone and it never returned, though it
was some little time before the finger
healed. This is but one of the many in
stances of such cures, some of them tak
ing place several days from the time of
the wound. Let woolen rags be kept
sacredly and always on hand for wounds.
The smoke and stench will fill the house
perhaps, but that is a trifle when the al
ternative is lockjaw, or even a long, pain
ful sequel to a wound. Another instance
was the wound made by an enraged cat,
which tore the flesh from the wrist to
the elbow and bit through the fleshy
part of the hand. One ministration of
the smoke extracted all pain, which had
been frightful. Boston Transcript.
The one man now in sight available
for the office of President is Theodore
Roosevelt, Vice-President of the United
States. Mr. Roosevelt is all that Mr.
Hanna is not, and a good many other
things besides, lie is fearless, uncom
promising and absolutely honest in all
of his dealings with the public; he has
the ability of a statesman, however
much he may lack the diplomacy; he has
a greater personal following than any
other man in the country; he is avow
edly antagonistic to trusts, and, as things
now stand, he is the logical candidate
for the republican nomination in 1901.
That he will be opposed by Senator
Hanna and Mr. Heath and others of the
close corporation which seeks to domi
nate the republican party in the country
is a foregone conclusion; but the ways
of the machine have proved fruitless be
fore this, and if the republicans have in
mind the interests of the country and
party they will, whan the time comes,
get behind Theodore Roosevelt and
boost him into the presidency no matter
what opposition may be encountered.

Stephen Lethebburv is getting
more notoriety lately than a congress
man. Numerous letters have been
pouring in here for several weeks from
Mullano Kansas asking all sorts of
questions about him. All of which de
velops the fact that a very smooth dead
beat stayed there several weeks a couple
of months ago and represented himself
to be Stephen Letherbury of Osceola,
Neb. He contracted for a farm and
town property, but instead of paying
anything down on it borrowed a consid
erable 6um on the strength of his talk
and then disappeared. He worked the
old soldier game to perfection and
knew all about the battles which some
of Steve's comradett, who live there, had
been through and completely fooled
everybody. Tuesday evening Stephen
got a letter from an old comrade with
whom he bunked during the war telling
him all the particulars and enclosing
several clippings from the local paper
there, and from these we are led to won
der that he did not beat them out of
several times as much as he did. Os
ceola Record.
Governor Savage was followed nearly
to his home at Lincoln the other night
from down town by a man who evidently
intended robbery. Mrs. David Alexan
der and young son, driving along the
road in the evening near Octavia, were
frightened by a man jumping out from
the side of the road, grabbing hold of the
horse's reins and demanding that she
stop her horse and permit him to ride.
But she made good use of the whip, and
in the excitement, the horse lunged out
of reach ot the villain. Both these inci
dents within the past week one in the
city, the other in the country. Why not
have an emergency police, and make it a
little more dangerous to prowl around
at night?
The government forestry experts, L.
C. Miller and B. S. Kellogg, are spending
considerable time near Fremont, and re
port the finding of a large number of
species of trees not very common in other
parts of the state. The largest Cotton
wood thus far seen by them is one on
the banks of Ryan's lake, six miles north
east of Fremont It is twenty feet in
diameter four feet from the ground. On
Hawthorn Island, in the Platte south of
tne city, tnirty species of trees were
found.

The Fremont Herald is hereby cau
tioned to preserve strictly the truth of
history, especially in minor particulars
so apt to become distorted. Once
upon a time there was a Southern states
man found his way to Washington, and
was for a while considerably elated be
cause of the attention paid him, writing
home concerning this, using (if we re
member aright) these exact words: "I
shall soon be a biger man than old
Grant." For our present purpose, it is
not the principle that is discussed, but
it is the quotation made by the Herald
annoys The Journal. We dislike to
see that flaming, flaring phrase which
flashed over the country that morning
like a ray of some new kind of light
made nothing of in the form of "a bigger
man than Grant." The Journal is sure
that he was "a biger man," and that it
was ''old Grant." Preserve the truth of
history.
Embarrassment appears to le the
natural concomitant of matrimony. At
least thia is true in the incipient stages.
Invariably, however,1 there is a striking
contrast between the relative composure
of the man and tho woman. Both are
nervous but never both at the same time.
If they come a week beforehand to make
arrangements she is rattled and he is
cool; whilo on the day of the ceremony
she rises to the occasion and he sinks
under it. Thus, I have never seen a
bride who was scared; I have never seen
a groom who was not. Rev. D. M. Steele
in Ladies' Home Journal for June.
Dr. Carroll of Passaic, N. J, was
called to see a little school girl who had
been vaccinated, and found that she was
suffering with lockjaw. Antitoxin serum
was injected into the base of the little
one's brain in an effort to save her lite.
The operation may be successful, though
the little one is in a critical state. She
cannot move her jaws, while her arms
and body are swollen to a terrible state.
Over 350 children have been vaccinated
within tho past three weeks by the same
physician, and other parents fear that
other cases may result fatally.
The five West Point cadets dismissed
Wednesday have been employed by the
New York Asphalt company, through
General Francis A. Green, one of the
chief officials of the trust. The young
men had sought advice of General Green,
and he believed they were contrite and
repentant. Whenever boys or men will
insist that they are a law unto them
selves, as well as unto others over whom
rightly they have no control, it is well
enough to make such a change as will
convince them that tyranny is not proper,
in this country at least.
Ed. Robinson and Jim Minden, two
cooks at the Koehler hotel, Grand Island,
celebrated pay day by indulging in too
much drink. They fought in the kitchen,
then out, and back in again, breaking
dishes, etc. They were called on by Mr.
Coates, the proprietor, to stop their
fighting and their destruction of prop
erty, but would not, Minden going after
Coates with an ax, when the latter in
self-defense fired upon them, one after
the other, injuring them, but not sup
posed fatally.
TnE American people will submit to
an injustice very gross in its character
so long as it remains comparatively un
important in its effect, or so long as they
are busy with other things of more im
mediate consequence. But they are
likely at any moment to take very swift
and sweeping action to remedy a wrong
when they are fully aroused. New York

Quite a goodly number of Grand
Army of the Republic members and
their friends attended services Sunday
morning at 11 o'clock at the Congrega
tional church, Rev. Munro preaching a
splendid sermon, from Judges vii, 18:
"The Sword ot the Lord and of Gideon."
Special music was furnished for the oc
casion by the choir, Messrs. Hickok and
Gleason, and Mrs. Gleason, Mrs. Geer
and Miss Galley, the last named render
ing a very appropriate vocal solo, with
accompaniment on the organ by Mrs.
Geer.
The Journal noticed eo soon as
the warm weather set in that the gentle
men of the road were at their usual
tricks of making a living withont giving
any equivalent for it Their schemes are
not entitled to' the credit of being origi
nal, only a little different from what
have been worked before, bnt there is
one safe rule for the whole bad brood of
them, and that is to have nothing what
ever to do with them, first or last. One
of our exchanges gives this account: "A
venerable swindle has -been revived suc
cessfully among farmers in northern
Missouri. A pretended wheat bnyer
approaches a farmer and offers to pur
chase all the wheat be'has to sell at $1
per bushel. The farmer signs an agree
ment to deliver the grain at the nearest
market at a certain time. Later the
supposed agreement tarns up in the
form of duly signed notes for from $35
to $100.
C. J. Garlow returned Friday from
his eastern trip, passing one night at
his old home near Fairmont, West Vir
ginia, where he left his daaghter for an
extended visit with relatives. Most of
his time was passed in committee work
prior to, and in the, national convention
of the Woodmen of the World, held at
Columbus, Ohio. A number of new
laws were recommended for passage by
the committee, also" amendments, the
most important being with reference to
assessments, and to placing the order on
a more solid financial basis. There were
delegates present from nearly every part
of the United States. The increase in
membership the last two years has been
eighty thousand. Texas alone has forty
thousand members. Mr. Garlow speaks
well of the city of Columbus, but one
can readily see that Nebraska is upper
most in his thoughts, whenever living
and business are spoken ot

Sunday Desecration.
Our city mayor has taken his stand
with Sunday desecration; as he could
not legally issue a special license, for
a ball-play show, on Sunday, May 26,
1901, he permitted law-breakers of
Columbus and David City to have it all
their own way in this city, under the
protection of our police.
Now that permission and that show
was not only a breaking of the Lord's
commandment, a transgression of the
State law, but, being on Pentecost Sun
day, it was also an offence against the
Third person of the Trinity, and being
on Memorial Sunday, it was an insult to
our flag and to all the men who helped
to preserve the Union, whether living
or dead.
It has been a bad object lesson to the
youth of this city, creating or fostering
in them, disrespect for all law, as it is
not worse in the eye of the law, to steal
a horse than it is to rob law-abiding citi
zens of the. peace and quiet of the Sab
bath day, aa provided by law.
If this kind ot business is carried on
any further, it is an open invitation for
the violators ot law from all parts ot the
state to make Sunday desecration in
Columbus a weekly occurrence. '
To prevent such things, the law-abiding
citizens of Columbus should at once
form themselves into an organization
for the enforcement of law.

Billings, Mont.
If yon have time, atop off and see Yel

time. And the expense is almost unbelieva
