IS amusing to read the claims of demo-
Gratis, when often the victory belongs to
the independents. Take for instance
the Nebraska legislature. In big head
lines the World-Heral announces the re-
put,licans hopelessly in the minority
and yet in the same article is given the
actual vote and it shows in the senate
eighteen independents, nine democrats
and six republicans, Democrats three
ahead OF tie fepabiiiitstns1 .In--ttlfc lower
house are fifty-four independents, TWEEN
ty-iive democrats and twenty-one re-
publicans democrats four ahead OF the
republicans). This, on joint ballot,
gives the independents a majority over
both old parties OF eleven votes. The
independents also elect twocongressmen.
The democrats elect one, but they claim
two, having endorsed one OF the indie
pendent men. The democratic governor
beat the independent by a small major
ity, the rest OF the state ticket is repub.
lican. While the democrats have had a
great celebration over their victory
nothing is heard from the independents.
1t is not glory or spoils they want, bat
legislation and in that line they O
quered both the old parties in NEBRASKA,

Taking for a basis eighteen counties
which went independent, the Daily
Pierre Capital figures out that these
alliance counties gave tiifty-one and one
sixth per cent for Pierre while republi-
can counties gave fity-four and one-half
per cent and from this slight difference
reaches the conclusion that the alliance
leaders delivered this vote for Huron.
There were no doubt many alliance men
who were influenced by the alliance head
quarters being at Huron to vote for
thatcity, butastudy Of the vote through
out the state proves that they did
not do sc to II great extent. Had
the alliance leaders delivered the ,ote as
the Capital charges Pierre would have
been in the sOup.

Now that it seems to be conceded thai
independents and democrats combined
have a majority in the next legislature,
the question naturally arises, how many
democratic votes has Senator Moody
secured.
1t is reported that Mr.. GODDARD, dem
ocratic representative elect Of Fall
River county, is q; Moody man. Our
democratic friends here deny it and we
hope they are right, but it looks suspi-
cious. The republicans of Fall River
nominated Editor Benedict fof the Star,
a man every inch Of him, If he is six feet.
The independents did not care to look
for better timber and endorsed him. 1t
was rumored that he vas opposed to
and 10, he is defeated. How
could it happen when true(?) republicans
always vote straight?

A BIG

From the tone ofseveralitems recently
appearing IN the Republican and culmin-
ating in a recent article entitled, "a Few
Funerals Needed, that sheet has under
taken to SO manipulate public opinion
as to freeze out some OF the opposition
which it is unable to meet on business
principles, and in its conceit it under
takes the same Job for Deadwood, Lead,
Hill City and numerous other Hill towns.
Coming at such a time, when the proprie-
tor OF the opposition daily is confined
to his bed, it would seem, to a casual
observer, in very poor taste to say the
least. .
1t is an old saying that "there is no
friendship in trade" and for a business
man in any line to undertake to hold
trade OF the ground that he is more de-
serving than another, that if he had all
the trade he coulddo better by his custom
ers, or to spend his time in whining over
the competition he has to meet, would
seem foolish in the extreme. Whatthen
must be thought OF a paper which takes
such an attitude? A profession whose
ann is to build up a country, to invite
business enterprises OF all classes and
the result Of which is to increase compe-
tition among it's own customers, surely
should not expect and forgets its dignity
when it asks. those patrons to assist its
efforts to strange opposition in it's own
line.
Werealize how long, severe and fruit
less has been the effort OF the Republican
to establish itself on IL sound financial
basis. But has not the older Journal
labored longer and equally as hard?
Which would a disinterested party adj
wise our citizens to boycott? We hope
article in the Republican is the dy-
ng wall OF A. j. and does not voice the
Of the new associate. But,
which ever it is, the new firm should re-
member that all business enterprises are
Welcome in the Hills, and that there is
lways room on the top shelf. One thing
5 evident, the Republican does not be-
leve in the suryiva! OF the fittest.

FOOLED WITH A WIRE.

And Now Mch,el Kelly Knows More
About ELECTRICITY Than He Did.
A couple of Saltwater men went to st.
Paul yesterday, says the Minneapolis Jour
nal. One was named Michael Kelly and
the other Smith. The two were in Sew
enth-street saloon last night drinking with a
crowd that had assembled. A dispute arose
over the efficacy of the insulation of electric
light wires. Smith claimed than whenever
light wire crossed a telephone wire it
burned out an instrument, and Kelly main
tanned that IL such was the case the town
would be full of dead people in two hours.
To settle the matter Kelly climbed a pole
near by and gripped a live wire in his hand
without sustaining injury. He was about
to descend when he touched the wire again
accidentally, and this time at q point where
the insulation had been removed for a con-
nection. Kelly received such shock that
he fell, but his coat catching on one of the
spikes in the pole kept him suspended
twenty-five feet from the ground He re-
covered sufficiently to make the descent
with the help Of one of his friends. He
was taken into drug store and it was
found that he had only received a small per-
centage Of the strength of the dynamo. He
was unable to walk, and was taken to the
Minnesota House in hack. But for the
accidental catching of his coat ON the spike
Kelly would probably have been killed by
the fall.

approach to the higher one is easy from one
side, while to the northeast there is sheer

village of Hattin in the plain below, the

Our masquerade was grand affair.
There could not be found one vacant chair;
For many good friend came to
The freaks of our laughing company.
And In truth were right merry band,
With friends from many distant land.
With whose names we'd all been familiar long,
Either through prose flowing song
Il Maud Muller was there with laughing eyes,
And " Fanny Feru's Grandma" prim and wise.
A " Turkish Lady ~ WAS also there,
With pearls loOIed over her flowing hair.
A " Lady OF Color" with kerchief fine,
And the " Witch of Endor -" were in the line.
There were three Representatives of the Press"
Each looking charming In her dainty dress.
Once In the waitz's & ddy whiri
saw a sprightly a. Austrian Girl:
And a rosy-eheeked num- with soft, brown eyes,
In whose voice magical power lies.
The Wolf in sleeps clothing near by stood
To our own darling, " Rebuilding Hood";
All welcomed the =" Lady from the East"
The "Granger" brought corn and wheat to the
feast,
The water-nymph" seemed to be under the
weather,
And Wealth" and Poverty" walked together.
Our friend Professor Darwin, was also there,
With delicate cane and curly hair;
He was graceful and SO polite
That the " Damsel of the Period bright
Had ever a smile on her fair face
As she danced around with wondrous grace.
An " Astrologer," tall and rather slim,
Walked about looking fearfuIly grim.
There was with him also on the floor
"Fortune-teller" from Albion's shore.
Then, whom sh ould / see but sweet little Be-
peep"
Looking around for her long-losr sheepi
And with the others the Seasons four,
All marched In through the open door.

But danced with "Girl' selling apples and pears
Once beyond the Bride and her Mar"

Friend Z" stepped in from the "Flowery Land"
With a smile peculiarly " child-like and bland";
And with this Celestial solemn there came
In rich attire japanese Dame"
A Spanish Maiden " and (" Indian Girl " too.
Both danced once with the "Red, W hte and Blue"
Golden rays and light clouds were adjoining
The beautiful brow of lovely Morning."
While numberless stars shed their sllvery light
Over the sable veil OF Night"
once in my wanderings passed by
A dear little sunshIny " Butterfly"
Many others were there who attracted attention.
Whom regret I've no time to mention;
But all pronounced IL, not without reason,
One OF the finest events of the season,
And from my memory never Will fall

ORIGINAL AND
STRIKING.
Some Winter Novelties That Have
Been Designed by Redfern.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10. 1s9o.-The girl of the
period was so beautifully provided for in
the way of characteristic costumes for each
Of her summer amusements that she has be-
come exigeante, and is not content with her
ball and opera toilets, her dinner, reception
and street costumes, her habit and hunting
rig and her various house negligees, but she
must also have her sleighing. toboganning
and skating toys. And each one must be
original and striking and calculated to set
off to the utmost all her charms of figure
and face. 1t may be argued that 1t is rather
early days to be providing for diversions
which the weather may prohibit during the
whole season, but ii seems to be the general
opinion that this is to be severe winter, a
regular old-timer, and that the lovers of
snow and ice will have all they want and
more too between now and next April. AT
least so seems TO say all this array Of fur
and feathers and thick woolly fabrics which
crowd the shop counters and find eager pur-
chasers each day. So we may take for
granted that the skater will have heI ice
frolic, and now the question is what shall
she wear when she starts out for the lake or
river?
In some models now being prepared by
Redfern the material is handsome faced
cloth OF rather substantial structure.

When the editor of the Athens Banner
was living in St james Goose Creek Parish,
near Charleston, S. c., he once found q
large iron box in an old field, badly eaten
with rust. Through curiosity he secured
hammer. and assisted by two negroes broke
hole into it, but some charred human bones
and small key that unlocked the chest was
all that rewarded his pains. 1t WAS after
ward learned that in the early settlement
OF Carolina an old bachelor left in his will
$4,000 to any one who would place his
bones in an iron box and burn over it 100
cords of pine wood. One key was to be
placed in bottle filled with lead and dropped
into hole in Cooper River, where bottom
was never found, and the other left in the
coffin. A poor young man complied with
the will aud was paid $4,000 The rest of
the old mans money be buried. and no one
ever found it. He believed that II a per-
sons body was burned in this world he
would escape fire in the next. The iron
chest is doubtless still where it was left

O BEAUTIFUL DAY.

o beautiful dayi
Can nothing stay thy fight
To the shores OF night?
Are pleadings, prayers and tears in vain
To win thee with us to remain?
Would thou couldst tarry yet awhile
Our hearts from sorrow to beguile,
From grief and carei
Thy presence fair
Our sad, gray lives with light did crown;
But now the sun is going down.
In the hourgIass of Time runs low the sand,
And swift is thy flight TO the shadowland.
o beautiful dayl
Thou, ike an angel bright
From radiant realms OF light,
With the olive branch didst nigh!
Rosy turned the ashen sky:
All the world was glorfed
When morn's ruby gates oped wide
To let thee pass
The witLered grass
Grew green beneath thy tread,
And the pale white rose blushed red
As thy breath above her swept; the earth heard
Thy voice and to quickened life was stirred.
Obeantiful day
Alas, thy reign is past
We cannot bind thee last.
Nay. our hands cannot even hold
A fold OF thy mantle OF gold
As thou didst come thou must 60
For the gods ordained 1t SO.
Stern is fate,
1t groweth late;
The clouds are gathering In the west;
Tomorrow will bring the old unrest,
Thou wilt have fed to the nights dark shore.
And our longing eyes shall see thee no more.
o beautiful day!
Tomorrow brings the strife
The wild turmoil OF life!
To-day brought few hours' peace,
Tomorrow the truce will cease;
Even fercer the struggle may grow,
Perchance 1t will lay us low;
Yet, in spite Of all,
whater befall,
A dream goes with us to the fight,
To valorous deeds it does incite.
Thy memory we bless, On, thou perfect day,
Though the skies tomorrow be ashen grayl

wars, pestilence and other causes have
tended to bring what was once a rich
garden SPOT to ruin; but there can
still be witnessed the daily occurrences
told of in scripture. There are fishermen
casting their nets. sheep following good
shepherds, lilies in the fields, scattered
tioeks, and the sea is tossed by sudden
storms. The eastern coast is possessed by
Bedouins. and the western side, once thickly
populated by hardy, energetic mountaineers
in favor with Christ, is quite desolate, with
only few scattered hamlets. AT the period
of its prosperity, when Christ was living at
Nazareth with his parents, the country was
under Roman government, Herod being the
ruler. A high state of excitement prevailed
The Roman yoke was heavy upon the Jews,
and conflicts were frequent. Herod was
living at liberals, and the lavish eXpendi-
ture Of money and labor made the place
palatial. In addition to this. the extensive
hot springs near drew many rich and infiu-
entail who were in poor health, all combin-
ing to make Tiberias the center of Roman
civilization. The Sea of Galilee as affected
by all this. Vessels of all kinds were nu-
merous, quays dotted the shores and activity
was great In an historical work by Sr
John Vaudeville, an English traveller,
written in 1923, is this description of the re-
giOn:
Upon the Sea tof Galilee Tyberie or Jenaza-

At this time Tiberias is visited by pill
grims who come from all directions to end
their days in the holy city and to battle in
the springs. South of these baths Oh the
western shore there is nothing of interest
but the departure of the Jordan from the
sea. The river continues to the south, run
