The cleanest, brightest safest and really,

for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number In
the past few weeks, who have ordered their

BICYCLES NOT FOR ROYALTY.
The Young Queen of Holland Wanted
a Bicycle.

The young Queen of Holland during
her stay in Vienna attended incogni-
Ia the sports of some bicycle club. She
was so delighted with what she saw
that nothing else would do, she must
have a bicycle of her own and learn
to ride it. Accordingly a beautiful
machine, the most expensive and the
best that money could buy, was pro-
cured for her and she took it home
with her to Hollond. But here the
Queen Regent, her mother, put her
foot down and declared that her child
could not be allowed to use her wheel
without the permission of the Minis
ters of State. Contrary to her usual
behavior Queen Wilhelmna became
very excited and named several ladies'
amongst the most exalted on earth,
who devoted themselves to the pas
time. The Ministers response howev-
er was chilling in the extreme. In the
list of illustrious names mentioned by
her majesty there was no single per-
sonage whose safety was of so much
Importance to so many subjects as
hers. However slight the risk might
be which was incurred in bicycling.
they felt it their duty to beg her ma
jesty most respectfully but firmly to
give up all thoughts of indulging in
that pastime. The Queen was obliged
to yield with the best grace she could
and to soothe her disappointment her
mother procured for her through her
sister, the Duchess of Albany, mag

ending, domed above by the fiercely
blue sky. But now l have seen that
there are hills and valleys IN this
great state, that there are deserts
and gardens of Eden. 1 have seen
the endless prairies come to an end,
and the sky notched with green hills
and gray bluffs.
1t was like new world to me to
ride westward and southwark and see
the diversified landscapes after hav-
ing lived all my life where prairies
reached as level as threshing floor.
The scene that pleased me most of
all, was the one where stood on the
high bluffs that line the Republican
valley, and gazed at the winding riv-
err below me. In and out, the silvery
ribbon wove its CLEAN with the green
of the lands. In the stream were lit
tie willow islands, and along the banks
the willows dropped and dashed their
long branches i'm the water, a verdant
fringe.
At noon-time / stood on a high bluff
The sun beat down like a brass shield
above my head. The air was filled
with heat waves and far off towards
the horizon / could see them pulsate
like the waves on a tiny lake. There
was a stiffness profound. No sound
married the great silence, but the ter
ribly shrill cry of the cricket in the
tall dry grass. This cry would pierce
the stiffness like pain and then sub
side, and the great world would seem
to have come to a stop and nature
be at rest. The leaves of the corn
hung limp, like heavy sword blades.
Not a breath of air lifted the sandy
dust about my feet.
Below me on the side of the hill
jutted out the roof of dugout.
A path wound down to the front door,
and beyond the path there was a
steep declivity that reached down in
to a rough ravine. On the roof was
growing forest of tall weeds. There
was no sound or sign of life about
the place. Back into the cool moist
earth the humble home reached. For
many years the family had lived in
it. Through drought years and years
of plenty, through sickness and
health they had come and gone
through the low browed door. The
coffined dead had been carried from
there, and the bride had gone forth in
her delight With the bare necessi-
ties of life, this family HAD struggled
for existence. Down in earth, from
whence they came and to whence they
must go eventually, they had spent
the larger portion of their lives. And
who shall say that the lives lived in
this Nebraska dug-out, may not have
been as noble, as full of good as the
lives lived in brown stone fronts and
in the homes above the earth? These
men and women were but returned
to the original state. for it is proven
that we were all once the inhabitants
of caves and sought out subsistence
i'm the wilds of the forest.
To these people who have always
smelled the fragrance of the earth.
who have lived underneath the roots
of the grass, there certainly can come
no thought of the sadness concern
ing the last long home. Beyond per
adventure they will feel more at home
in the grave than you and I. And as
for their lives now, they have Gods

people" have entrusted everything to
him. He is very much in demand and
very much overworked, for there are
a good many candidates and all these
different interests must be managed
SO as to have the ticket all made up
and ready to ratify when the delegates
meet. Mr.. Ager has already notified
the populist ring at the state house
just what the republicans are going
to do and he has given it out very con-
fidentially to a few of his closest
advisers just what the populists will
do. Mr.. Ager knows it all. He is
the whole thing.
Gentlemen of the republican conven-
ton, when you come to Lincoln on
the 10Th of August take look at Mr..
Ager. Take look at him and see if
you can dispense with his services.
Take a look at him and then invoice
your own resources and see if you
cannot transact the business of the
convention alone. What proud bost-
ers we are, here in Nebraska, of our
schools, of our general intelligence, of
the high character of our people, of
their independent and self reliant in
stincts, and yet, here at the state cap
ital we have political boss who owns
and manages the city council, the rail-
roads, clubbing together, employ and
put over us political manager who
oversees and arranges our state con-
ventions and selects our candidates
for state offices. A political boss to
manage the city of Lincoln and a po-
litical manager to boss the conven-
tons of the state. We are all a well
bosscd and well managed community,
here i'm Nebraska. We ought to be
proud of ourselves. We are informed
that Manager Ager gets $4,000 year
salary and 5000 a year for his ex-
pense account. In ten years this would
be $4,000. How kind of the railroads
to pay this large sum in order that
the farmers and businessmen may not
be put to the trouble of selecting can
didates for office and that our con-
ventions may be arranged for us in
advance and suitable persons selected
every two years in the several counties
for the legislature.

convention which meets here the third
of August. Their leaders are so
drunken and besotted and gorged
with free passes and political spoil
that they are only to glad to obey the
orders of a rail Dad boss if he will only
hint that their official career has been
satisfactory to "our folks" The vot-
ers in the fusion party, large pro-
portion of them, are as blind as bats
and it will take them years to find
out and believe that Isl HOakum," as
they call him, has not paid a dollar
of railroad fair for ten years and not
a dollar of house rent out of his own
pocket since he came to Lincoln.
We are no longer an anti-railroad
state. There is no longer any danger
of vicious legislation. The railroads
may, with perfect safety, take away
from our conventions this political
hustler, this convention manager, this

been at hand when the store of Mr..

robbers could easily have been
followed and captured. Our citi.

purchase two good hounds, and a
small contribution from each bust

amount. VIII not some public
