From a Btaff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. 21.-(Fpcla'.)-The re
publican committee of this county will
meet next Saturday for the purpose of dis
cussing the primary law and to do what
ever else may need attending to at that
time. The secretary of atate If receiving
numerotia lettera of Inquiry every day from
ill parts of the state asking about every
phase of the primary law and he and the
legal department are kept busy answering
letter. Today a man from Red Willow
county was here and lie said Judge Orr
had expressed the opinion that a republi
can voting for a democrat In tho demo
crats Column would have his ballot
counted for the democrat aa a democrat
and the same, would apply to a democrat
voting I for republican. Other lawyers
held the same way this man said. This
la contrary to the holding of Secretary
Junkln. )
In the meantime the democrats have
worked themselves Into a pretty box. The
names of Oeorge I. Loomls. democrat, and i
Judge Albert, .populist, will appear on both
the democratic and the populist tickets,
though Mr. Loomls refused to file his ac
ceptance of the populist endorsement as
candidate for supreme Judge. If Judge
Albert receives the majority of the popu
list votea he goes on tho ticket as the
populist nominee while If Judge Loo nils
gets the majority of the democrats he gets
that nomination. This will give both
parties a candidate. It Is said around here
If the democrats try to pull off Albert
lfter the primaries, the pops will get wlld
ryed and the democrats will not stand for
Loomls coming off In favor of the pops.
Incidentally that both will be nominated
teems certain, as the pops are all mad at
Loomls for not accepting the pop endorse
ment. He got on the ticket by a pop peti
tion but his acceptance was never filed.
The democrats are expected naturally to
stand by Loomls, so neither will get a
majority of both part Irs.

his wlfo would caro for them, promising
that If the arrangements did not prove
satisfactory then tho aon would deed back
fio farm to tho parents. Within two er
three weeks after the son had married It
Is charged In the brief, tho aon and wife
began to abuse the father and mother;
these two moved Into a separata part of
the house and cooked their own meals and
lived apart from tho young folks. The
father wanted to bring suit then to get
his farm hark, but the Invalid mother per
suaded him not to. Finally the son agreed
to pay to each of the other helra 1260

of the estate and he also gave the father
a life-time lease on the place and left,
taking with him moat of the personal

has died and the father has married again.
Tbe children are not satisfied with the
arrangements with the younger son and
so tho father Is trying to undo what he

trying to save.
Variation la Oil Teats. ,
OH Inspector Allen has discovered some
Standard Oil company's product which
tests a different quality at different times
and places, though from the same tank.
Tho- oil which went below the 112-degree
test was found at Clay. Center. The bar
rel from which It was taken was marked
tested 1H, showing that It came four de
grees higher than the standard fixed by
law. Deputy Inspector Wheeler tested It
at 110 and rejected the barrel. Deputy
Templeton then tested the tank at Omaha
from which the barrel was taken and It
showed up at 113 degrees. Mr. Templeton
explained to Mr. Allen that probably the
merchant handling the oil had not properly
cleaned his tank and thla had caused tho
oil to come below the legal test. In the
meantime, however, the Clay Center dealer
was Instructed to get the oil oft of the
market.

Is to take place tho first of the week. ' Mr.

ernor Sheldon. His successor has not yet
been selected.
Dr. Johnson, auperlntendent of the Insti
tute for the Feeble MJoded at Beatrice, Is
to sto out tho first of tho month and a
new man will taks his place. Some time
ago Dr. Johnson announced that he did
not want to bo reappointed, as he desired
to place his family In different surround
ings. He was Induct d to change his mind,
but finally, after several changes, tho gov
ernor settled tho matter by deciding to

though tho governor has not Intimated who

It Is probable Governor Sheldon will soon
have to select a successor to Dr. Singer,
assistant superintendent at tho Norfolk
asylum. Dr. Singer Is being considered for
a very important position In an Illinois
Institution and if he gets the place will
resign his present position.
Governor Qolte Talking;.
Governor Sheldon will accert no more
Invitations to speak during September and
October. "I believe I had better stay at
home and think more and talk less," said
tho governor. The executive has been try
ing to accept all his Invitations in order to
get out and meet the people and asalst In
making their entertainments a success, but
he finds It Is taking too much of his time
and therefore, In order to knep from neg
lecting the state business, ha will decline
future Invitations, at least for the next two
months.
Clarke May Get a Star.
Chief Justice Sedgwick will pass upon
the application of Harrison Clarke for a
stay of execution at 2 o'clock tomorrow.

tion. Attractions at State Fair.
The display In the horse department at
tho state fair, September I to , promises
to exceed anything ever seen on the
grounds In this state. There will be great
numbers of them, percheron and French
draft, clydes and shires, English, French
and German coach horses; then there will
be the driving horses and the amateur
with his grade draft teams and the ponies
In large numbers. Down In the race track
stables there will be an evceedtngly large
number of the harness horses and run
ners. Aside from the regular racing horse
there will be the dally exhibition of Dr.
Tom. the great guldeless wonder, In his
dally exhibition going the mile without a
driver. And there will be Surena. another
guldeless wonder. It will be a race worth
going miles to seethese two guldeless
horses racing against each other round and
round the track. Just remember that Dr.
Tom makes an exhibition heat alone and
Surena makes an exhibition heat and then
a heat together. It will be a dead earnest
race for to win.
Horseback riding ts coming strongly In
favor again and the beard of managers
of the state fair every day, September I
to fl. In front of the grand stand will have
an exhibition of Forest, the great Ken
tucky saddle horse owned by Handershot.
Forest Is probably the best trained saddle
Morse In all of Nebraska. While going at
full speed the simple touch of the hand or
the whip Forest will change from one to
another of his five gaits. Tills surely will
please the great number of horseback
riders In the state as they watch the pos
sibilities In the training of the saddle
horse.

Game Law Violator Fined.
GORDON, Neb., Aug. 21. (Special. )-Last
Sabbnth morning there was the usual ac
tivity among the local Sunday sports of the
town and soon buggies loaded with guns,
dogs and other hunting paraphernalia,
were speeding their way to the haunts of
the early bird in quest of the worm. State
Game Warden, Geo. L. Carter, who arrived
in tho city the evening before, unan
nounced, was on Interested spectator of the
movements and decided to tarry In our
midst "until tho home-coming of tho unsus
pecting violators of tho state game laws.
W. G. Traub, a wealthy lumber and coal
dealer of Gordon, was the first victim to
fall Into the wily warden's net. His buggy
was searched and the lifeless remains of
eight grouse were dragged from beneath
the seat. After due legal process, tho birds
were distributed among . the ministers,
bankers and others of the needy of the
community and tho unfortunate victim who
was found with the goods In his possession
was assessed the usual fine of IS per and
trimmings, which In this case amounted to
almost a winter's supply of hard coal. Ship
Young, who accompanied Mr. Traub as
driver, was lucky to escape with the mild
penalty of a reprimand by the state war
den and the promise to be good In tho
future. Darkness coming on and a severs
wind and dust storm raging, prevented the
warden from making numerous other ar
rests. Giro Notes to Itinerant Doctors.

KIND HEARTS HKI.P WAYFARF.RS

Leaat Exaeeted.
RANDOLPH. Neb., Aug. 21.-(Speclal.)
Lata yesterday afternoon an aged couple,
footsore and weary. Inquired of some men
standing In front of Reed Bros. A Tuts'
restaurant, tho way to Bloomfleld. They
received directions and started out, side by
side, to walk the distance. So weak was
the old man that he foil. They had not
been gone very long before Sam Reed, to
whom the story was told, proposed that a
livery team be oent after them and bring
them back where the could be cared for.
Every man who heard pledged his sup
port to the plan and Roy Hall, In one rhr.
and John Burl In another started out rn
different roads. They were found by tho
roadside near tho Frank Burke farm, the
aged man asleep under a tree. Mr. Reed
gave them free lodging and meals and
subscription papers In the hands, of Roy
Hall and Dick Daniels soon raised 110 for
them. Tho gratitude of the couple waa
touching, as they were told of the kind
ness and the liberality with which tho
young men .came to their aid.
The couple were Mr. and Mrs. Hammond
of Turtle Lake, Wis., the former aged 77
years and the latter 7. They had traveled
life's Journey side by side for many years,
and now, near tho close of their life, are
left penniless. . In their Wisconsin home
they had saved $250 that was secreted In
the house, when one day they were away
picking strawberries and on their return
found their home a heap of ashes and tho
monoy burned. , Part of tho money was
silver, and with It a watch. A careful
search of tho ashes revealed no stiver nor
tho watch, and they think perhaps the
house was robbed and then burned. By
chance the man had $43 In his pocket, and
with this they started on a Journey to
Bloomfleld, to the homo of Mrs. Ham
mond's sister, whom she h"ad not seen for
many years, but between whom there had
been correspondence.
Fearful lest their little sum of money
should give out tho aged couple slept
In depots and went without sufficient
food. At Wayne the last of their money
was used, but scorning to beg and with
stout hearts in their frail bodies, they
walked the distance to Randolph.
The kindness shown them here came un
asked. Warren Closson saw them safely
on the noon train or Bloomfleld and thsy
left Randolph with words of grateful
thanks on their lips.

A Body Balance)
People hesitate at the statement that tho
famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as much
nourishment from one pound as can bo
absorbed by the system from ten pounds
of mit. bread, wheat or oats. Ten pounds
of meat might contain more nourishment
than ono pound of Grape-Nuts, but not In
shape that the system will absorb aa largo
a proportion of, as tho body can take up
from ono pound ef Grape-Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts of
wheat and barley which ars prepared and
by natural means predlgosted, transformed
Into a form of sugar, ready for Immediate
assimilation. People In all parts of the
world testify to tho value of Grape-Nuts.
A Mo. "man says: "I have gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. I can truly
recommend It to thin people." He had
been eating meat, bread, etc., right along,
but there was no ten pounds of added flesh
until Grape-Nuts food was used.
Ono curious feature regarding true
health food Is that Its use will reduce the
weight of a corpulent person with un
healthy flesh, and will add to tho weight
of a thin person not properly nourished.
There la abundance of evidence to prove
this,
Grape-Nuts balances tho body in a con
dition of trua health. Scientific selection
of food elements makes Grape-Nuts good
and valuable. Its delicious flavor and
powerful nourishing properties have made
friends that In tarn have made Orapo-Nuts
famous. "There's a Reason." Read, Tho

cided at the meeting that they would re
fuse to act under this law and would at
tack ire constitutionality In tho courts If
necessary.

The World's Standard
The Steinway Piano is the world's standard. It com
mands its price because it is worth it and it always will
until human nature changes. If the other pianos were worth
as much, people would pay the Steinway prices for them.
It is a common sensfc proposition; you npply it to every
thing else, why not to piano buying! There is no mystery
about the piano trade. Steinways are worth more, else we
could not sell them at a greater price than the others sell for.
You are cordially invited to call and test tho Steinway
here. Steinway Vertegrand $500.00. Steinway ftiiniature
grand $750.00.
We sell for cash or installments and guarantee you New

Happiness The happiest man on this

makes his own living, pays Iris own b'lls,
has a little money as he goes along, but
does not strive to get a corner on the lo-al

head stt on a thing. Monday last, business
called him to Bridgeport, and not being able
to catch a train, when it suited Mm.
walked home. As he was sick last week
with the -rheumatism, It came to our mind
how firm his head was set. The only rea

when he sized up the town, he made up
his mind he wouldn't spend the night thero.

down over Its head. But after the wheels
of the buggy had passed over its tall the
pig commenced to show signs of life. Mr.
Johnson quickly stepped out, grabbed the
can with both hands and started to shako,
but the pig had got the big head and re
fused to come out. He then held the can
with one hand, laid a firm grip on the
pig's tall with the other and after a few
strenuous efforts succeeded In parting tho
pig and Its wonderful headgear. The pig
laid for a few minutes apparently dead, but
