Duchess of York were leaving Dublin
In 1897, amid enthusiastic cheering, an
old woman remarked:
"Ah! Isn't it the fine reception
they're gettin, gOin away"
In 1892 Dublin university celebrated
its tercentenary, and crowds of Wis
itors were attracted to the city. Two
laborers, rejoiced at the general pros
perity, expressed their feelings.
"Well, Tim" said one, "thim tar
~cintinaries does a dale for the thrade
of Dublin, and no mistake"
"Oh, fax they do" said the other.
"And whin, with the blessin of God,
we get home rule, sure we can have as
NANNY of thin as we phase"
An old woman, seeing a man pulling
a young calf roughly along the road,
exclaimed:
"Oh, you bla'guard! That's no way
to thrate a fellow crather."
"Sure," said a laborer to a young
lady who was urging him to send his
children to school, "Id do anything for
such a sweet, gintlemanly lady as
yourself"
Again, the laborers on a large estate
decided that 1t would be more CON
venient for them If they could be paid
every week instead Of every fortnight.
One Of their number was sent to place
their proposition before the land agent,
and this was his statement:
IF you please, sir, it's me desire,
and it is also livery other mans desire,
that we resav out fortnight's pay

An exasperated sergeant, drilling a

last:
"Halt!w Just come over here, all of

VOTE AND BE P

The eighteen counties comprising the
Fifth congressional district of Nebraska
are among the best counties in the state.
They have been settled up by an enter
p%rising, thrifty, intelligent class of peo-
pie. These counties have been made to
bloom and blossom by the tireless efforts
of men who worked with their hands
and brains in season and out of season,
and never faltered in the face of dis
couragements. From the sod house to
the modern cottage is a far cry meas
ured in achievement, but a short time
measured in years. The splendid devel-
opment of the counties in the Fifth
congressional district is due to the tire
less energy and unceasing work of men
who had no time to travel about the
country and howl Calamity" 1t is
time that these men assert themselves
and repudiate the idea sent broadcast
Over h country that they are filled with
discomfort and being ground down. 1t
is time that the Fifth district be repre-
sented i'll congress by a man typical of
the brain and Drawn and energy that has
secured the development of the eight
cen counties comprising the district.
Duty to the best interests of the Fifth
district demands that a man represent
alive of all that has made Southwestern
Nebraska desirable as a place of resi-
dence, of all that has worked for the de-
velopment of the community, of all
that marks the highest social and moral
development, be sent to congress to
represent the intelligent people of this
great section. w. S. Morlan is typical
of the brain and Drawn and energy of
the Fifth congressional district. He has
been one among those who have wrested
the district from the wilderness and
made it fruitful and happy. He has
worked night and day, year in and year
out, for the development of the COM
monwealth. In congress he will repre-
sent the best interests of the district.
He will be a worker, a hustler, a per-
former, a mover, and a doer. Vote for
w. S. Morlan and be happy.-Beaver

THE Democratic national platform
condemns "the ill-concealed Republican
alliance with England" while at the
same time opposing the passage of the
ship subsidy bill, which seeks to take
from British ships the IS per cent of
American foreign carrying they now
enjoy to give it to American ships in
stead. 1t is singular hat every British
ship-owner and ship-builder hopes for
the success of the Democrats if there ex-
lists an ''ill-concealed Republican ALI

Curious Mexican LAWS.

They have ONE very curious crimi-
nal laws in Mexico. For instance, it is
twice as much of an offense to mutt
late the face of q woman as that of a
man. The law seems to be based on
the idea that a woman's best posses
sion is her beauty and that to mar it
does her a great injury.
There is another curious law. If a
person should be wounded in an en-
counter, the punishment to the offend
er is fixed by the number of days his
victim has to stay in the hospital or
under a doctors are A line is fixed
at 40 days in the way of a general divi-
sion. If the injured man occupies more
than 40 days in his recovery, the pen
atty doubles up.

An Fraud.

An impudent fraud was perpetrated
upon a Manchester bank by n of its
customers, who opened a n account
with some few hundreds of pounds.
The man, after a few weeks, drew two
checks, each within a pound or so of
his balance, and, selecting a busy day,
presented himself at one end of the
counter, while an accomplish, when he
saw that his friends check had been
cashed, Immediately presented his own
to a cashier at the other end. Both
cashiers referred the checks to the
ledger clerk, who, thinking the same
cashier had asked him twice, said
fright" to both checks. The thieves
were never caught.

IN the face of the great danger of
overconfdence there is one compensat-
ing advantage-the Republicans every
where are united. There is no factional
difference anywhere in national politics,
a fact perfectly attested by the unanim-
ity with which the nominations were af-
fected and the platform adopted at Phil
adelphia. There is no factional quarrel
in n state. This condition, it is true,
may be possible. For the time at least
it adds still further to the feeling of
overconfdence. On the other hand, a
later result is almost sure to be that the
full vote will come out in harmony and
enthusiasm for the regularly nominated
candidates and the accepted statements
of policy. The great hope of Republican
throughout the country is that
the various committees-and the various
voters for themselves-will see promptly
and thoroughly into the real issues; will
not be mistaken about them, will not
try to substitute pretended principles for
real ones, will not be frightened by
boyle talk, but will be on their guard

Populist onslaught upon expan-
sion land with it. prosperity upon a
