T F you have thought
L to make some child
happy by sending
a Valentine, this is to
remind YOU that there are
only three more days to
get them in and the
prettiest ones are being
picked off fast.
They're not at all like
the Valentines of last
year and the years before,
no more tinsel and
tawdry soap-box paper
about them. The best
artists design Valentines
nowadays and they're
quite as beautiful as the
Christmas and Easter
: Cards that everybody en-
joys. Of course the.
same old sentiments are
there, they'd hardly be
Valentines without that,
but put in better verse,
the same thought in more
attractive form.-=that's
the modern Valentine
and the fashion OF max
ing observance of St.
Valentines day is as pop
ular in this last year of
the century as it ever
was.
There's a choice stock
of them here, each one in
a box or envelope made
specially for it, ready to
be sent by post. You
have only to add the adj
dress and a stamp.

AFFAIRS IN NEBRASKA
Interpreting the Election Law.


LINCOLN, Neb.. Oct. 2.-TheD
seems to be a very general misunder-
standing regarding the correct inter.
probation OF the election law in respect
TO the fling Of certificates OF nomina-
ton and statements OF expense. Can.
didates have until twenty-five DAYS be-
fore election to file certificates Of ON
ination, but their expense statements
must be on file within ten days afte.
the convention. According TO the zen.
eral understanding CT the law IL is not
necessary for judicial candidates to fls
certificates with the secretary Of state.
The law In this respect provides that
all persons nominated for any judicial
or state office by a convention repre-
senting a district larger than a county
shall file certificates with the secretary
OF state, except as otherwise provided.
Another section provides that judicial
candidates must file certificates with
the county clerks and that they may
file them with the secretary of state.
SO far only the Fourth district judicial
candidates have filea certificates.

Good Demand for Farms.

WEST POINT, Neb., Oct. 3.-Land
owners In this county are already be-
ing besieged for the rental OF farms
for the coming year. For several years
until last year. 1t was difficult to secure
good tenants and some farms were not
leased for this reason until late In the
winter. This year Of republican pros
perity the conditions are exactly re-
versed. The fact Is that there are from
seven to nine applicants for every
quarter OF land to rent. The ex-county
treasurer Of Cunning county, who had
three quarters to rent and advertised
the same in the county papers. has
been inundated by applications to rent,
some of them coming from the eastern
states. The farms were rented before
the ink was dry on the advertisement.

Not n Giitterfnc su~erss.

OMAHA, Neb.. Oct. 3.-The expert
ment Of sprinkling railroad tracks
with crude petroleum In order to keep
down the dust has not proved an alto
gether gllttering success. This was
not due TO the fact that the oil would
not lay the dust and keep 1t laid Sc
curely. but because the oil was q con-
slant menace to the safety OF travel.
Sections Of track on some of the sea-
shore lines that tried the experiment.
were set on fire in the most mysterious
manner The management knew that
the presence Of the oil would account
for the extent Of the fires once started,
but they could not discover the origin
OF so many. II vas thought that re-
vengeful tramps were at the bottom
OF IT, but finally IL was ascertained that
live sparks from a locomotive would
do the trick as quickly as would Il
lighted match. Experiment proved
this to be true. and the oil plan is be-
ing abandoned by some railroads.
