When the Columbus High School
leetara ooane was first inaugurated it
I of four lectures and one con-
In late jean it has changed to
ibar, concert and one lecture. As a
suggestion, wouldn't it be a good plan
to go back to the old way.
Nineteen states legislatures have"
now passed laws compelling railroad
contpanied to charge only two cents a
die for passenger rate. The follow
ing are the names: Alabama, Ark
ansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kan
sas, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi,
Nebraska, New York, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South
Dakota, Oklahoma, Tvest Virginia
and Wisconsin.
The school year closes in Columbus
Friday, May 31. It has been the
most successful in every way in our
history. The enrollment has been the
largest, the attendance the highest,
and the High school graduating class
the largest The entire high school
year has been free from any strife or
dissension, everything has moved like
clock work. Our superintendent and
our teachers are entitled to and are
receiving the heartiest congratulations
from our parents and guardians, and
onr pupils can now take a deserved
long summer vacation.
From present indications there will
not be any dearth of . candidates for
county offices this fall in the demo
cratic ranks. Gene Loomis of Creston
has announced himself as a candidate
for county superintendent and Otto
Heuer, present deputy treasurer, asks
for the democratic, nomination for
treasurer. C. J. Carrig is willing to
ancceed himself, and there are several
others who would accept the nomina
tion for sheriff. But there is plenty of
time between now and the primaries
for announcements, and it looks as
though under the hew primary law it
will be a free for all.
Now a days no one rides on railroad
passes except employes and their
families. In former years everyone
who possibly could get free transport
ation, would gladly do it. Then
there were no laws against giving and
accepting passes, while now there are
each laws on our stature books, and
omr Nebraska people as a class are no
violators of laws if they know it.
Bat every now and then -some de
mocratic editor, who has alwayused
passes and free transportation for him
self his family and his employes, as
long and as often as he could get them
wants somebody nominated for some
office because that some bodj has
never rode on passes. That is the
isset his candidate has. Last
'Judge Graves was nominated
for congress by the democrats of this
district because it was said of him,
uhe never rode on a pass." When
the light was fully turned on him it
was found that -he had asked and
accepted railroad transportation for
his family, and had an annual over
tneB.AM.RR.
Oklahossa, in order to be admitted
to the union as a state, must adopt a
watitalion that shall -be approved
and signed by the president of the
United States,1 and by a majority vote
t the people of the territory. The
ounvention that has framed this con
stitution has finished ite work and ad
joarned. It was composed almost ex
dnsively of democrats, and what
might be expected of such a conven
tian has happened it over-reached
itself. .It has adopted a constitution

The announcement that William J.

depends upon circumstances connected
wholly with republican polities. No

instance, would hasten the arrival of

No matter what a man has been be
fore you cannot get away from the
fact that he is rendering a great ser
vice to society and- morality when he
does what Abraham Baef is doing in
Sam Francisco". To judge the value
of Reufs confession and his evidence
against other one mast lay aside all
consideration of his personal motives
whether they be those of cowardie,
revenge and penitence. The import
ant fact is that in such a comprehen
sive, system ef graft as that operated
in San Francisco the whole truth can
not be known until some man who
has participated in the the benefits of
the system tells what he knows.

All this talk about green bugs or
any other bugs destroying crops of
Nebraska is groundless. Even in the
days of the grasshoppers the crops
were destroyed only because the
growth was light The country at
that time was not thiekly settled and
the fields were so few that they could
not afford forage for the millions of
locust Conditions are difierent at
this time. With rains and seasonable
weather the crops in Nebraska will
grow so fast that what the bugs eat
would hardly be missed. Nebraska
has the, most productive soil and cli
mate on earthand with the necessary
moisture we can feed the world besides
all the bugs that are likely to iafest
the country.

bv nhvsicians from every section of
the country and it has been observed
in admits as well as in children. It
clears up many putxling points about
scarlet fever and explains why persons
have taken what looked like the genu

they should have been immune. It is

of complications than any of the erup

Doctors of medicine, who have been
searching for many years for cancer
and tuberculosis cures, may find some
comfort in an article by Charles Elley
Hail in Leslie's Weekly. The credit
for the alleged cure is not given to one
man, but is shared by leading physi
cians in London, Paris, Berlin, New
York, Boston and Chicago, who for a
decade have been trying to discover
two .things: First the "opsonic," or
natural, power of the human system;
second, a non-mineral fluid that when
taken into the blood, will annihilate
the poisonous bacteria in tife blood, at
the same time increasing the "opsonic"
power of the Woo.4. Of course the lay
mind cannot grasp all the terms and
meanings of a technical article on the
subject but Mr. Hall simplifies it by
intimating that the purpose of the
core is to increase the number of
white, healthy corpuscles in the blood
so that the blood, possessing its natural
quantity of natural power will easily
throw of bacterial poisons.
The theory, simply stated, is that it
is possible to increase the blood's
"opsonic" power, while it is easily
possible to decrease that power by the
use of toxins. Prevention, rather than
cure, is the basis of the discovery.. In
New York, Boston, Pldadelphia and
Phtsbuag hospitals for the special
treatasent of these so-called incurable
diseases will soon be established. The
new fluid will be administered in the
same manner as anti-toxin, by injec
tion. Should the conclusions already
reached be fully Terrified, it will prove
the parsttic character of cancer and
taberculosis and make it dear that
the only hope of prevention or control
of either disease is through a fluid or
serum treatasent It is to establish
this point beyond controversy that
these hospitals, with their free clinics
and a large share of proposed charity
work, will be established.

There are rivers of all lengths and
aad all decrees of wetness.
There are river with all sorts of pe
culiarities and with widely varyiag
chums to fame. But there is only one
river with n personality, habits, dis
sipations,' n sense of humor aad a
woman's caprice; a river that goes
traveling sidewise, that interferes la
politics, rearranges geography and
dabbles ia real estate; nriver that
plays hide and seek with you today
aad to-ssorrow follows you around
like n pet dog with a dynamite crack
er tied to Its tali. That river Is the
Missouri, says a writer in the Amer
ican Magazine.
This thing happened ia Kansas City
not many years ago: A tarty of men
owned a strip of land along the Mis
souri .river bank. It was not hand
some land, but It was valuable for fac
tory purposes. They were offered
portly prices for It, but held on.
One day they noticed that the strip
was getting emaciated. They held a
harried diagnosis with a surveyor's
tape and found that half of it had
beea washed away. The next year
half of the remainder had gone.
The men waated to sell then, but
the mnrket seessed remarkably slug
gish. The nest year the river ate so
vigorously that oaly a tiny strip about
as wide aa a piece of baby ribbon was
left The men were much depressed.
Suddenly the land began to in
crease. The Missouri bad chosen the
late manufacturing site for a place to
deposit a fee ISO-acre farm upon
which It had foreclosed up the river.
Inside of six months that strip of
land contained 29 acres. The mea
were jabllaat, but still they would
not selL
They wanted another 109 acres,
they said. They strolled along the
bank each day and urged the river.
In proprietary tones, to build faster.
Then the river changed its mind

It built up Sat acres1 la the same spot,

ERRORS OVER THE fWONE.
Am Amusing, Others Hnmereua
ef the Latter.
If some enterprising gentlei
should set to work to write a treatise
entitled "Errors Over the Telephone."
he could Ind a suAciency of them In
ray single community, says the Bos
ton Herald. Some of these are rath
er annoying; some cause considerable
irritation, as any person who resorts
to the 'phone frequently can testify;
and some, again, are so funny In their
results as to take away the annoyance
caused by the blundering.
One of the latter happened one
evening last week. The hour had ar
rived when two men, professional as
sociates and occupying the same
room In n prominent building, decided
that they should dine. To avoid hav
ing to wait for their meal when they
reached the establishment they Intend
ed to patronise, they decided to order
It over the telephone.
A couple of hue steaks, with the
usual trimmings, were agreed upon.
and the order therefor was made in
due form. Soon afterward with good
appetites they entered their res
taurant Everything waa ready, aad
the courteous waiter escorted them to
their table. The steaks were already
there two hue, large raw sirloin
steaks.
