JUDGE J. B. BABNES.
Now that election is near at hand, it is
important that every voter should study
the character of the men who have been
selected as candidates for office. The
head of the ticket, that of judge of the
supreme court, is one of the greatest
importance. The republicans have nom
inated a man who as an attorney of
ability, is oae of the ablest in the state.
The fact that he was appointed as
supreme court commissioner, receiving
the unanimous vote of the present
supreme judges, a majority of whom are
fusMoists, is proof that he is entitled to
promotioa to a higher place.
That oar readers may know something
of the life of Mr. Barnes we print the
following, which is taken from the Nor
folk News, his own home paper:
"Judge Barnes was born in 1846 in
Ashtabula county, Ohio, on a farm. His
early years were spent as those of most
farmers1 boys. When old enough, be
taught school in the winters and con
tinued farming summers. When seven
teen years old he enlisted in battery E
of the First Ohio light artillery, the date
being January 1, 1864. He served more
than half of a three years' enlistment
being mustered out July 10, 1865.
The judge was educated in the com
mon schools of Ohio and at the Grand
Biver institute at Austinburg, Ohio. He
studied law in a law office at Jefferson,
Ohio, coming to Nebraska in the spring
of 187L He has lived here over thirty
two years. He was admitted to the bar
and commenced the practice of law at
Ponca where be lived more than seven
teen years. He moved to Norfolk and
has lived here more than fifteen years.
The judge was married in November of
1874 and has three sons, each one a
graduate of the state university. John
B. Barnes, jr., is superintendent of the
city schools at Tekamah and has been
admitted to the bar of Nebraska. Guy
W. Barnes, the second son, is in the
employ of the American Beet Sugar com
pany here, having graduated in the
scientific department at the state uni
versity. Alfred Kimball Barnes, the
third son, is a fellow and one of the
instructors in the department of mental
philosophy in the university. He grad
uated in 1902.
Jadge Barnes has had a long and hon
orable career as a lawyer and public
official. He was elected district attorney
for the Sixth judicial district of the state
when the constitution of 1875 was adopt
ed. At the expiration of his term he
was again elected and served until Jan
uary of 1879. He was then appointed
jadge of the district to succeed E. K.
Valentine, who was elected to congress.
He was nominated and elected jadge of
the district in the fall of 1879 and served
the full term which expired January 1,
1884. He declined a renomination and
turned his attention to the active prac
tice of law, engaging in general practice.
He was appointed to the supreme court
commission January 1, 1902, and is now
a member.
Judge Barnes has always been an
active, ardent republican and has at
tended every republican convention
since and including the one held in 1872.
It is a matter of comment that those
who know the judge best are his warm
est supporters, and it is believed that
as the people of tne state come to know
him better his chances for a big rousing
majority will increase.
At home, his ability is well recog
nized, his popularity is unquestioned
and his home life is greatly admired.
His position in the community is secure,
and his support by bis neighbors will be
unquestionably hearty and sincere."
THE CORN CROP.
Wallaces' Farmer makes an estimate
of the corn prospects, but as the Farmer
is published in Iowa, we must remember
that conditions in that state are not so
favorable as in Nebraska. The article,
however, shows similar conditions to
that of this section in Nebraska, and we
quote it in part for this reason:
"We have never seen a time when it
was so difficult to form a correct esti
mate of the yield of corn, even with these
conditions known, as it is this year. In
ordinary years, given a knowledge of the
physical condition of the soil to start
with, the temperature, and rainfall, one
can make a reasonably correct estimate
even without the reports of the statisti
cians. This has been an off year in every
respect It is always the unexpected
that has happened.
We expect to hear reports this year of
larger yields on the best high and dry
land than have been reported for ten
years past The size of the ears is phe
nomenal. Never have farmers sent us
such large samples of corn as they have
been sending us the last two weeks.
Even these yields, however, will be to
some extent disappointing. We examine
every day these samples hung up in our
office, and are astonished at the shrink
age that is going on. The cob and corn
even when apparently dry and hard con
tain an unusual amount of water and the
man who cribs corn this year the first of
December must figure on a shrinkage of
twenty per cent by the first of May.
This seems to be the condition of corn
generally. The twelve-inch ear will be
ten inches, and the circumference and
weight of corn and cob will decrease in
about the same proportion. On these
beet Unas there will be a full yield of
core, considerably more than an average,
and there will be good yields of corn on
even thin lands this year provided the
cultivation was all right and the land
had both excellent air and water drain-
It goes without saying that the high
prices which farmers expected to realize
from what corn they had will not be
realized. Corn will not go to famine
prices this year; nevertheless, we expect
a good price, and it would not at all sur
prise us if the cash value of the crop of
1903 would be quite equal to the cash
value of any crop we have had in the
last ten years."
The Alaskan boundary commission
Saturday reached an agreement whereby
all the American contentions are sus
tained with the exception of those in
relation to the Portland canal, which
Canada wins. On the map will be

fixing the division of American and
British territory oa such a basis that no
American citizen will lose a foot of land

United States wUl retain all the water

the exception of the Portland canal,

DR. GEORGE F. PUGH.
The office of county coroner, although
not so prominently before the public as
many others, is nevertheless aa import
ant position and requires a maa of abil
ity, precision sad knowledge. The
republicans have nominated such a man,
and ask the votes of sll who wish to see
a capable person in that place. We give
below a short sketch of the life of Dr.
Pogh, and ask you candidly if you do
not think you should vote for him.
George F. Pogh was born September
10, 1861, in PUtUborg, Ma In his early
manhood he taught school, receiving, in
his examination for a certificate an aver
age of over 90 in the 26 studies for a
first-grade certificate. After teaching
school several years, he attended and
graduated from a business college and
followed the work of amanuensis about
eight years. Later be graduated from
the Omaha Medical college after which
he located in Platte Center. He enjoys
the respect and confidence of his towns
men, and a wide practice as a physician.
Although a cripple since he was seven
years old from which he has been a great
sufferer, he educated himself from first
to last
Dr. Pugh is married and has one
daughter who is now studying music at
the college in Crete.
During the confessional hour at the
close of the mission service at the St
Theresa pro-cathedral in Lincoln Satur
day, Pansy Ballard of Wilbur aged 18
years, a student of the state university,
drank a quantity of carbolic acid, walk
ed quietly into the confessional and upon
her knees before Father Boatman told
what she had done and then collapsed.
She died without regaining conscious
ness. Though the poison had badly
burned her lips and mouth and tongue
not a groan escaped her and she gave no
evidenoe that she suffered pain. The
reason for her act assigned by her
friends, was due to her melancholy dis
position, the direct result of having been
hypnotized four years ago by a traveling
hypnotist daring a performance at Wil
bur. Since that time her friends said
she had changed from a happy, cheerful
girl to one of a moody and unhappy
disposition.
Abraham 8mmmer, known throughout
Iowa as the "Waverly philanthropist,"
like Andrew Carnegie, considers it a
disgrace to die rich, and during the past
few years has given more money to
charity than any other man in Iowa.
He is said to be worth more than
$1,000,000, and it is his purpose to give
this fortune in various sums to the needy
institutions of the state .before he dies.
Mr. Slimmer has offered to give up his
mansion at Waverly to the Sisters of
Charity to be used ss a hospital, and has
begun the remodeling of his wood-shed
into a domicile, which will consist of two
rooms, a bed room and dining room. He
will live alone and cook bis own meals,
and declares that he will then have
reached the true state of happiness in
this world contentment in simplicity.
Charles Yetman, of Bock Island, I1L,
a practical telegraph operator, is the
inventor of a patent machine which bids
fair to revolutionize the telegraph world
by sending moon ages by typewriter.
With the machine the operator, while
sending a message, has before him, in
stead of the regular telegraph instru
ment key with which to mark off his
dots and dashes, a typewriter with a
standard keyboard. If he desires to
send "a" speeding over the wires at many
miles per second he touches the "a" key
marked on the typewriter, just as if he
were writing a letter on the machine. A
thorough trial of the instrument was
given the other day in the railroad offices
at St Joseph, Mo., and is pronounced a
great success.
The republican candidates for county
offices are men who are not influenced
by political rings, and who come nearer
representing the common people than
any ticket nominated by any party in
this county for many years past The
public should show their appreciation of
these men by working for their election
st every opportunity. There is not a
man on the ticket who would not work
for the best interest of the county, irre
spective of party, and this is just what
the public have been after for years.
The way to make politics pure is to elect
good men to the offices.
A rear end collision occurred in the
Northwestern yards at Albion Thursday
night between a freight and passenper
train, both westbound. Both trains
were badly behind time, and as the pas
senger train came ia at a high rate of
speed it collided with the caboose of the
freight which for some reason was occu
pying the main track. Several passen
gers on the freight were pretty badly
shaken up, but luckily escaped serious
injury. The engineer and fireman on the
passenger engine jumped when they saw
that a collision was inevitable.
The following, taken from the Mad
ison Chronicle, is good advice that
should be considered by the candidates
of all parties: "The man who can be
bought for a drink or a cigar to vote for
another is not worth looking after and
yet there are candidates out at the
present time who are using the treating
custom in order to gain a vote. There
is also a law in this state which pro
hibits the candidate for office from doing
such things under penalty of losing the
office even if he be elected, and we would
call the attention of some of the men
who are at present looking after political
preferment to this clause in the election
law. Treating don't make your cam
paign any more effective and it lays you
liable to a fine and imprisonment, and
both if the court so wills. Where the
candidates of one political faction are
treating on the sly, and sitting up
lunches, eta, to friends isn't it taking a
mean advantage over your opponents,
who are conducting sa honorable cam
paign, and trying to win oat on their
merits? Remember that the trickster
isofttimes tricked."

Mrs. Charity Smith, for many years a

When Lafayette visited Loudoua
county be was entertained with the
other eminent guests by President
Monroe at Oak Hill. Leesburg, too,
the historic town nine mites from Mon
roe's country seat accorded him hon
ors on that occasion, and at a dinner
at that town John Qulncy Adams de
livered a famous toast to the surviving
patriots of the Revolution, who, he
said, were like the sibylline leaves
the fewer they became the more pre
cious they were.
On the return to Oak Hill another of
-Monroe's guests sakfeto Mr. Adams:
"Excuse the impertinence, but would
you not tell me what Inspired' the beau
tiful sentiment of your toast today?".
"Why," replied Mr. Adams, "it waa
suggested this morning by the picture
of the sibyl that hangs In the ball of
the Oak HU1 mansion."
"How strange," remarked the less
brilliant guest "I have looked at that
picture many times during the past
years and that thought never occurred
to me." Leslie's Monthly.
Chewtaa Dry Blec.
"A strange way of testing the inno
cence of an accused person is employed
in India." said a Philadelphia mer
chant who lately returned from Mad
ras. "They haul the man up andtgive
him a mouthful of dry rice to chew. I
don't suppose you ever chewed dry
rice? Well, it is hard work. It takes a
deal of chewing to get It masticated
Into a glutinous mass like gum, and
that is the condition that the accused Is
required to get it Into within ten ma
ntes. If you are calm and not afraid
you succeed, but if you are nervous and
scared you fall, for it seems that fear
has a strong effect upon the salivary
glands. It prevents them from secret
ing saliva. The mouth of a badly fright
ened person is always dry as a bone.
It requires a tremendous flow of saliva
to chew dry rice, and therefore the
acared prisoner inevitably falls In this
test It Isn't of course a test employed
In the courts of the big towns. It be
longs to the Interior, less enlightened
villages."

Animal Intelligence, though not nec
essarily higher in degree when they are
acting as our servants and not for their
swa ends, is then very much more easi
ly approached and understood by us.
Ihe "point" Is a curious example of
an action In which instinct and reason
meet The stopping of the dog, howev
er it began, has by training and heredi
ty become Instinctive. The dog, even
when quite a puppy, stops when It
smells the game and remains almost
paralyzed. Its Impulse to rush In and
seise it being checked by a strong In
stinct to stand stilL Yet the dog. after
he had accompanied his master and
had game shot over him, is quite
aware that lie Is a half controlled "me
dium," and while still under the domi
nating "pointing" Instinct will look
round Imploringly to his master to urge
aim to hurry up If the scent tells him
that the birds are moving. A border
line action of a different kind is the
squatting of young birds. It is a per
fectly reasonable precaution. Keeping
atill and lying low are not characteris
tics peculiar only to Br'er Rabbit, but
it Is most remarkable to see the way
In which tiny peewits or little teal,
hardly bigger than a fluffy bee, lie
down, put their little chins flat on the
ground and remain motionless for min
utes to avoid being seen.
Aa Effective Tel
When Senator Depew was president
of the New York Central Railroad com
pany he received a telegram which he
preserved for a number of years and
now and then showed to his friends,
says a reminiscent writer for the Wash
ington Star. This telegram reached
him one fine morning a short time be
fore Senator Piatt was elected to the
United States senate for the second
time. It was sent from one of the sta
tions of the New York Central and
read:
Please stop the noon express here to
take on Mrs. Piatt and MB TOO.
It was a very unusual thing for that
train to stop at that particular station,
but Mr. Depew at once gave an order
to have It done.
This telegram was referred to In the
presence of Senator Piatt on one occa
sion. "You see," said the senator, "I want
ed that train to stop without the least
question of doubt I knew that the
way to reach Depew's heart was with
a Joke, and so I sent that telegram."
A Penleteat OSlee seeker.
Governor Stanley of Kansas was
once so pestered by office seekers, re
lates the Saturday Evening Post, that
be found it necessary publicly to make
the statement that in view of the ex
ceedingly numerous applications for
office he had received through the
mails he should be unable to give any
attention to them, much less afford
any hope of success to the various ap
plicants. In the course of a few days after
Tqnfcfng the statement in question the
governor received the following note:
"My Dear Governor I understand
that you have said that you were go
ing to take a week off to destroy the
pile of letters asking for jobs. If ev
erything else is gone, then, my dear
governor, I should like the job of tear
ing up the letters."
r ui Artillery.
There- is abundant evidence that the
origin of gunpowder end artillery goes
far back In the dim ages of the past
The Hindoo code, compiled long before
the Christian era, prohibited the mak
ing of war with cannon and guns or
any kind of firearms. Quintus Curtlus
laforms us that Alexander the Great
met with fire weapons In Asia and
Philostratus says that Alexander's con
quests were arrested, by the use of gun
powder. It Is also written that those
wise men who lived In the cities of the
Ganges "overthrew their enemies with
tempests arfo thunderbolts shot from
the walls." Cassell's Magazine.
The Mexico Carrier.
The cargador, or carrier, of Mexico
is a remarkable Individual. Nothing
seems too bulky, nothing too heavy for
him to carry, and it Is quite wonderful
how he manages not only to lift but
to balance his cumbersome load. It Is
nothing for a man to carry a load

CelMles eff tfce '
The colonics, so called, of the world
occupy two-fifths of the land surface of
the globe snd contain one-third of the
world's population, or about 500.000,000
aeonle. Of this colonial population of
000,000,000 only three small groups,
numbering less than 15,000.000 pop
ulation, or 3 per cent of the whole, are
composed in any considerable degree of
the people of the governing country or
their descendants.
