The Conservative, j. Sterling Nor
TOMS paper, in it's issue of Feb IT,
contains the following mention OF u
former well known resident of this
county:
"Mr. Albert Watkins, Of Lincoln,
recently delivered, Mt the obsequles
of Queen Victoria in that city, u most
thoughtful, beautiful and logical nd
dress. IL Is classic in eulogy 1T
is - credit TO It's author and reflects
honor upon the citizenship Of this en-
tire commonwealth. There Is no man
in Nebraska who thinks moro philo-
sophieally, reasons more logically,
and expresses himself with more
charming lucidity Of diction. In the
discussion OF the tariff and finance Mr..
Watkins is head and shoulders above
any other economic thought-toller In
the state. His only fault Is that he
writes too inIrequently for publica-
tion. He Ia q miser Of ideas which he
ought to put into circulation"
A beautifully printed copy of the
services referred to Is before us. The
addresses were 10y DR.. r.. Benjamin
Andrews, Chancellor Of the Univer-
sity of Nebraska, and Albert Wat
kins. Among the names of the mem
bers Of the committee Of arrangements
we notice the name Of Mrs. Albert
Watkins.

NELSON WOULDN'T HAVE 1T
Tells Why Teachers Didn't Consider
Third Term Endorsement.

There was very little politics mixed
up in the State Teachers association
this year. While every man who has
been mentioned in connection with the
Republican nomination for state super
intendent was in attendance at the as
ISOLATION, no formal announcement was
made of ~anybody's candidacy.
Some of the friends of superintendent
Nelson wished to Introduce a resolution
endorsing him for a third term, but to
those who spoke to Mr.. Nelson on the
subject he expressed his opinion that it
would not be the proper thing.
If a resolution OF that kind had been
introduced ] should have protested
There are teachers of all parties in
the association, as well as trends of
those who might be candidates in the
Republican party, and while / appreci-
ated highly the endorsement of my
work and the things / have accom- lish-
ed, I do not think it would have been
exactly proper to introduce a reSolu-
ton of the kind that some of my friends
proposed. 1 am, of course, glad of the
friendship and good will of all the
teachers and superintendent in the
state. A great many have come to me
personally and assured me of their sup

Yon Youson Coming.

At the Crawford Saturday matinee
and night, Jan. 4, Thall & K~ennedy's
scenic production of lyon Yonson" will
hold the stage. OF all the dialect plays
produced since the days of Emmett,
none has achieved such substantial and
enduring success as "Yon Yonson," a.
Swedish dialect comedy, which por-
trays a phase of contemporaneous life.
This season the main role is being play
ed by Knute Erickson. The central fig
urge is a raw Swedis emigrant, and
the plot hinges upon his career in the
lumber camps of the Northwest. Mr..
Erickson is said to be a pleasing COME
dian and his dialect is mellow n
amusing His rapid rise from the I'M
couth woOdsman to a man of afHuence
covery of ~his.long-lost sister as an &C
complished young society girl, are the
principal events of he play.

of the city. Peacher lost his gun in the
DEAL, and the shots were appraised by
the court at $1.00 per. Peacher had the
distinction of being the only victim of
a late arrest to face h court. The
business is becoming dull, and the court
should seize the opportunity to take a
vacation.
The great Christmas celebration case
was completed this morning. VIII
Friend, the prime victim, was present,
so was his friend, Joe McGivern, who
was with him at the time and assisted
in the services. McGivern came as a
witness, and had not been arrested at
all, but his own testimony caused the
court to book him and charge him $500
with the others. Neither Friend nor
McGivern knew who did the cutting,
same fine. This may become a popular
way of ~disposing of "free-for-alP'
fights, divide a small fine equally among
the assaulted, the "assaultee" and the
witnesses. This would have a tendency
to break up the practice of starting
little street shows of the kind.
A boy about II years old who gave his
name as Clarence Mcintosh, called at
the police station yesterday and told
his troubles to Mrs. Thorpe. He said
that he wanted to go to California, which
was his home. He said that his father
had died several months ago, and was
hastily replaced by his mother with a
stepfather, who at once moved to Perry,
Kansas. He further stated that his
step-parent was far from good to him,
ano had repeatedly chased him from the
premises. He had therefore a burning
desire to return to his once happy home
where he had friends If not relatives.
A gentleman for whom his father had
worked promises him employment il
he can get there, and he wanted the as
%sistance of the police to get back. He
had the sympathy of Mrs. Thorpe and
the police, but they were power1ess to
do anything for him without a request
from his mother, and as he seems to be
a determined youth, he may start for
the far west on his own hook
