THE COURIER. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest J. S. Gov't Repoif Rpjyal ABSOLUTELY PURE publican ticket would be and ubc!c68 engagement. an expensive To say that Congressman Strode has a walk away is oniy expressing tbe true condition of the congressional tight. Aside from the fact that this district will declare against free silver, Mr. Strodo's record, both as a citizec and congressman, is sufficient to guarantee Lis return to Washington by a tremen dous majority. Why the popocrats demonstrated such little judgment in selecting an opponent against Mr. Strode is a problem not easy to compre hend. Even if the nomination of Mr. Broady was dictated by Mr. Bryan or anyone else, it must have been manifest to the fusiou party that Mr. Broady had no earthly hope of success, even were the district strictly democratic against Strode. To say the least the popocrats could certainly hare nominated a can didate out of the array of the aspirants at that time, who would have made a more active and aggressive catrpaign than Mr. Broady is making. Mr.Strode's friends need feel no uneasiness, though tbey should not cease their efforts in his behalf. A. L. Sullivan's candidacy is a source of much gratification to his many friends and the entire party. While a few of his personal enemies have en deavored to disseminate the report that his nomination was a forced one and that he was not the real choice of the couvention.it is absolutely safe to aver that such a ridiculous, unfounded and unreasonable argument cannot detract one iota of strength from Mr. Sullivan. The short time he has been county treasurer has already demonstrated his business ability, integrity and careful ness. He is the first county treasurer that has given a bond to the people which is as safe as the present money standard, die bond- -a guarantee bond, gi. uj mu immuuuD vi unquesuon- :... l. . ::..: me reimuiiiiy aueoiuieiy secures me taxpayers of the county from any loss whatever, and the example that he has set is one which will and should here after be emulated by all public officials. Mr. Sullivan's record is as commend able to his constituents as they could desire. He is a farmer, and will receive the strength of the farmers, as they know him as he really is fully capable and worthy the suffrage of the voters of this county. Municipal politics is cutting quite a figure at present, even though it will be some time before political castors will be openly ihied. As everyone is aware, J. W. Bowen, the present city clerk, will be up for a third term. W. W. Turner of the fourth ward, will also jump into tbe arena for the same position, not to speak of several other gentlemen who have not as yet determined whether they will be candidates for Mr. Bowen's shoes. Mart Aitken will, of course, be a can didate for reelection. The old estab lished custom of electing a deserving man for a second term, makes Mr. Ait ken's re election practically a certainty. The ward contests are even beginning to crop out in an intangible way, and several warm contests are promised. The second and seventh wards especi ally indicate hot campaigns in the spring, as in the second ward Mr. Parker steps out of the council and will enter into the mayoralty fight, thus Baking Powder leaving an opening forseveral gentlemen who for years aspired to councilmanic honors. In the seventh ward much bad blood will be manifest. The Com-stock-Bwan-Graham-Myers 6crap of last spring has not been forgotten, and the animosity which exists among the several factors of that ward will hardly have disappeared by next spring. The other wards at present, do not promise anything more entertaining than the ordinary, though, of course, anythnig unforseen may occur which will greatly change the present status of matters. The main wires, however, which are now being laid, are attached to the of fice of mayor, and the hu and outs and length of said wires are as endless as John Gurrie's promises to cut the statue of Lincoln. In this fight the bone, einew.brains and ability of Lincoln will enter in a way never before seen in this city, and some of our oldest and most representative citizens will com pete for that much prized honor, among them being O. W. Webster, W. A. Woodward, John P. Maule, Barr Parker, George Woods, R. S. Young and several others. Mayor Graham and J. D. Parker will also be candi dates. T. E. S. MY LADY. Old Time has crept up gently Behind my lady's chair; So sweet is his caressing She straitway falls to guessing. And wonders innocently Who would such freedom dare. Old Time has crept so gently Behind my lady's chair. Old Time mused with a twinkle "The siege is well begun She's coauetted with m nhvlv And evaded me so slyly I'll pay her with a wrinkle Iwill serve- to start the fun." Old Time mused with a twinkle "Tne 6eige is well begun!" Old Time then laid his finger Upon my lady's hair And lo! a halo blesses Those beautiful brown tresses. The rascal fain would linger So sweet 'tis to be there, And still he keeps his finger Upon my lady's hair. Mary Day Harris. The improvement in local business is due to the disappointment of New York with Byan. It was a most grateful re lief to find him a man of clay instead of a world conquering orator that melted an inimical audience into advocates of free coinage every man a brick in tbe superstructure that the boy orator builds every time he speaks end which falls like a house of blocks as soon as he takes his hand away. It takes about a month for an improvement in the finan cial situation to be felt in Nebraska. But the st ores aie filled with custom ers and it is not so difficult as it was a month ago for the borrower to convince the cashier that it is safe and will be profitable for the bank to loan him money. There is no doubt that eastern money was badly scared and that gold hid itself in vaults. stockings, or any old place near enough to get into quick when Byrar approached. He turned out to be an old woman's bugaboo and Wall street turned over and slept easy. It got up the next morning and went on about it business just as if Bryan were not talking against time and money. In ppite of bis frosty reception he says he is going back to speak in Tammany hall headquarters about the twenty-ninth of tbe month. He will not be able to count eract the impression he made on his first appearance. He can not duplicate the supreme effort he made to get the nomi nation. The mob be speaks to wants to witness a miracle and if he can not pro duce it they are going to uphold the prophet who has not aroused false hopes. He Well, 1 must be off. She Yes, a little. I noticed that the first time I met you. Chicago girl Would you marry him if you were in my shoes? to keep New York girl If I wanted house in tnem. P. D. Armour settled a million dol lars on the new baby daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ogden Armour. He has been in the habit of sett.ing a half million on each grandchild. But this last one is a grandaughter and he settled a mil lion on her. Girls need more money anyway. He Would you love me if I were far away? She Certainly. He I don't believe it. She Why don't you let me prove it? Tinke How much do you think a minister ought to get for marrying a couple? Filkins Well, if wholly unacquainted with them, perhaps he ought to be let off with bix months. Smythe If the worst comes, to the worst Bryan can reach the White House by capturing the solid Irish vote. Tompkins But how? Scythe Dead easy! Just have "Boru" hyphenated after his present name. THE TIME TO SUBSCRIBE. The old newspaper saying, -now is the time to subscribe," was never more true than at present. The times are so full of incident, eo many important national and state affa'rs are shaping themselves for a change, that no one can afford to be without a metropolitan daily or weekly. The St. Louis Republic, the greatest democratic newspaper, is mak ing a special offer of its daily and Sun day paper for three months at 1.50. It is S6 a year by mail. The Twice a Week Republic is sent two times a week 104 papers for only 81 a year. In addition to all the political news, it prints every day a spread of general news and features not equalled by any other paper. MISSOURI PACIFIC FLYER.

We have purchased (because It Is just the thing we have needed) the Columbian Cyclopedia Library, con sisting of the Columbian encyclopedia, which Is also an unabridged dictionary thirty-two volumes of convenient size neatly bound, four volumes of thean nual cyclopedic review, lour volumes of current hlstoryfor 1896, one Columbian atlas and the neat convenient revolving oak cas ewlth glass doors. From the evidence obtained we find that some part of this work is placed In the best private and public library in this country an dabroad, for the reason that they cover a Held relative to the past, present and future progress and achievements of the human race not attempted by others. The plan is original, and the work throughout is carefully and ably written. Current history contains 220 pages, is issued two months after the close of each quarter, this length of time being taken to reduce all Information received to be an absolutely reliable and authentic basis. If these are kept on file, this magazine will prove a permanent and invaluable record of all important movements in political, social religious, literary, educational scientific and Industrial affairs. The magazine will be Indispensible to all people who have encyclopedias, as It will be needed to keep these works up to date. To those who d not own encyclopedias it will be doubly valuable as their source of information is more limited. About March of each year the four volumes of current history are bound Into one volume, known as the Annual Cyclopedic Re view. There are now four of these bound volumes covering yearslS92-3-4 and 5. The work has for endorsers and subscribers in this city and state such people as Mr. Gere, edltor-inchlef of the Lincoln State Journal,, Hon. Joe Bartley, state treasurer, Hon. W. J.
