The wheel just now monopolizes the atten-
ton Of the majority Of those who in the
midst of polite society hunger for an out
door life, but tennis is rapidly coming to
its usual prominence, and even golf is be-
ginning to loom above the horizon as a pos
sibility for Nebraska hills and dales. This
last named pastime is denounced with vast
scorn by the same exuberant natures which
find tennis effeminate and which see in golf
only the protracted chase of a quinine pill
over a COW pasture with a mallet. To a
fair-minded observer it would seem that this
anciene Scottish pastime would give ample
opportunity for the exercise of both muscle
and wind, and the chances are that if golf
comes II will come to STAY.

The season is yet by no means dead, as
the following record Of the weeks events
will show; the same scrutiny however. Will
show it near it's close. Several receptions
and teas of considerable magnitude and
complete success have happened since the
last review; a good number of dinners, sup
pers, lunches and card parties have been
given, and many people have come and
gone. A notable event which is set for
next week is the entertainment to be given
next Friday evening at Boyd's by Mr.. and
Mrs. Morand and the pupils Of their dancing
school. The uniform excellence of these
May festivals in the past is sufficient guar
anty that this one will be well worth
seeing. not only by the parents, relatives
and friends of the little ones who win par
ticipate. but as well by all and sundry who
love to see childhood in one of its most at
t%ractiye phases.

The recent mysterious explosion which
shoots Capitol. Hill one night a fortnight ago
is not generally believed to have been the
popping of a question, but the fact that it
is followed closely by runors of an engage
ment not yet announced, but calculated, in
its uneXpectedness and by reason of the
prominence of the parties concerned, to eX-
cite widespread interest, lends color to the
belief that it may have been something of
the kind.

To be consistent our Republican

is resident of our county, and
uses his salary here, should also
electioneer and themselves vote for
Hon. j. Frank Ford for the Clerk
ship of the Court of Appeals. Mr..
Ford is also native and resident
here, and no man ever lived in our
midst who spent the salary of his
political offices more freely or more
willingly lent a helping hand to
those seeking his aid, There is no
reason why Democrats should do
more for Republicans than Repub.
licans do for Democrats. How many
