Brophy of Omaha filed aa a democrat candidate for railway commissioner. George Washington Berge filed as a dem ocratic and populist candidate for governor this afteruoon. Mr. Berge filed two peti tions, one from l.ncaster made up of dem ocrats snd one from Boone county signed by populists. Mr. Berge opened his cam paign last night at Peru and he expects to keep on speech-making until the election In November. ' Mayor In Disqualified. To keep up the record established by the national democratic convention, political prognostlgaters say Mayor Im cannot be nominated. Here Is the reason: The cane dklate for president is a two-time defeated candidate, the nominee for vice president is a two-ttme defeated one. Mr. Berge has been defeated once at the election and once In the convention. Mr. Shallenberger has been defeated once at the po" "n1 once ,n ... a i fconventlon. Mayor Jim nas never suneicu defeat. Consequently, while either Berge or Shallenberger Is half way eligible for nomination, Mayor Jim haa never qualified to get in the game with the presidential candidate. -' W. B.

The contract between' the Lee Broom and Duster company and the . State Board of Public Lands and Buildings has been agreed to and aigned and the convicts In the state penitentiary after more than a month's Idleness will again begin work at once. The agreement provides for an ad. dltlonal 5 centa a day for the labor, or 56 centa a day for each convict; $2.4)0 to be paid the state for rent and power and heat. In turn the state permits the con- victs to work longer hours and Increased slightly the task required of them. Here tofore the convicts have worked eight and ' a half hours a day and a majority of them were able to complete their tasks within six hours. After the task was completed the convict had the privilege of working over-time and receiving the same rate of pay for his own use. The contract Is for a period of three years, the state, however, having the right to cancel It at any time upon giving the broom company six months In which to wind up its affairs. This clause was Inserted so that If the legisla ture desired to work the convicts It could provide employment. i ' According to the figure filed by Mr. Lee, Nebraska Is getting more money for its convicts' labor than any other state. The board tried hard to secure some other bidders for the convicts but wss unsuc cessful. The Lee company Vias about 30,000 Invested In machinery and stock at the penitentiary. This had all be put In shape to send away, when the agreement was finally reached. Judge Field of Lincoln appeared before the board with Lee and assisted in bringing about the agreement.

I never came In contact with the business end of that mule, but I always lived In dread that I would. Hence a big sigh of relief one day when the word came to me that father had swapped "Old Jim" off. But I have been thinking of late how unjust I have been to that mule through all these years. The fact Is, coni paratlcely speaking, that mule couldn't kick little bit. There are folks today that can outkick her so far she wouldn't be In the game a minute. Pender Republican.

NO man not even George Washington has left a more lasting impression upon our higher laws and institutions than this romantic and handsome young Revo lutionary General and Statesman, who died so tragically in a duel at the very zenith of his fame. Upon every clause of the Constitution of the United States his individuality is indelibly stamped. Daniel Webster says of him: "He smote the rock of National re sources and abundant streams of revenue pushed forth; he touched the dead corps of public credit and it sprung upon its feet." He believed in protecting the brewing industry, and drank good beer all of his days. REFERENCES: Appletoa'l Encyclopedia; Sbouler's History U. 3., p. 71, etc, Sumner's Life of Hamilton, p. 103.
