NEBRASKA WINTER WHEAT.
Advices from the Northern Portion of the
State Show Great Damage Done
by Cold Weather.

Omaha. Neb.. Feb. 2O.-idyiccs to
the Bee from its regular correspond
ents in northern Nebraska indicate
that the winter wheat crop has been
badly damaged by the recent cold
snap. Those who have examined the
fields say that if there had been even
IL light covering of snow the germ
would have withstood the extreme
cold. AS it was, however. the ground
was bare nearly all over the state at
the time the severe weather came on
and the result is that in many local.
ties the crop will be Il total failure,
while in others it will be very light.

Everything that affects the welfare Of
the people is a Legitimate subject Of
comment to the real statesman. The
statesman is not a narrow man. 1t is
the politician who is narrow. The r Il
statesman looks out on the world as it
is. and seeks. as far rs is in his power. to
remedy evils and encourage the good.
Catarrh in its various forms is rapid
ly becoming Il national curse. An I'M
doubted remedy has been discovered by
DIR. Hartman. This remedy has been
thoroughly tested during the pastforty
years. Prominent men nave come to
know of its virtues and are makingpub-
lie u]tterances on the subject. To save
the country we must say the people.
To save the people we must protect
them from disease. The disease that is
at once the most prevalent and stub
born of cure is catarrh.

How q JOshinE Judge Sailed DOVE
q Delightfully."- Fresh
Young Man.

William Lightfoot Nisscher tells this char.
acteristic story of Hon. Isaac Parker, famous
as the terrible judge at Fort Smith, Ark,
who probably sentenced more men to be eX-
ecuted than any other Judge that ever lived.
This was not, however, because he was So
unrelentingly severe, but because he had
the hardest and most numerous lot OF erin.
inals to deal with that ever came within the
jurisdiction of such an official. One day
when there was an unusually large batch OF
cutprits to be sentenced, the judge looked
compasisonately over his spectaclcs at one
young scamp, and said:
"In consideration of the youth and in.
experience of this prisoner | shall let him oil
with Il fine of $50"
Before the judge had done speaking the
very fresh young man coolly stretched hi:
right leg and ran his hand into his trousers
pocket on one side, remarking nonchalantly
as he did so:
That's all hunky, judge; I've got thai
much right here in my jeans"
And one year in the penitentiary," con.
cluded the judge. Then looking over at the
convict in i quizzical sort of way, he added:
DO you happen to have that in your Jeans?"
