economic truths was as unwavering
as the magnet to the pole. He was
adroit and judicious in the use of
power and in the handling and in the
molding Of opinions of men and in
controlling their actions. Few citi
zens in the commonwealth of Nebraska
have better demonstrated, in career
of more than one third of century,
the value of absolute truthfulness and
honest dealing in business affairs. Mr..
Castor in his life experienced many
serious reverses and Affections, do
nestle and otherwise; but under all
circumstances and in all places, he
was absolutely faithful to truth, to
justice and to square dealing. For
many years he held a fiduciary posi-
tion under the Burlington manage
ment and in all instances discharged
his duties with great efficiency and
consummate skill in the interest of
his employers, and always with due
regard to the rights Of those with
whom he was called upon to deal. He
settled questions where vast sums of
money and stupendous interests were
at stake and settled them with wis
dom.
AS a political forecaster, he was
the peer of any citizen of the state.
He could give better estimate Of the
possibilities of political campaign
and of the ultimate voting at it's close
than any man we have ever known.
He was a useful citizen; he was de-
voted husband and father. He was a
faithful friend. His loss will be pro-
foundly felt in many counties and in
many homes throughout the state.
And those who knew him longest and
best will miss him most and longest.
The procession of the pioneers Of the
commonwealth marches onward with
ever thinning ranks to that quiet,
silent rest which nature has kindly
provided for all the children Of men.
Farewell, long farewell, old friend
We all follow on thy trail.

Death has never forgotten to touch
with his hypnotic wand. any single
individual in all the long-gone CEN
turies The world has no record of
any person of the tenth, the fifteenth,
the seventeenth, and very few Of even
the eighteenth century, whom this
kindly, rest-giving, peace -bestowing
and equalizing despot has forgotten to
call to rest and sleep. Nature has so
constructed the human organism that
with advancing years the capabilities
for enjoying the things of this world
are numbed, de-appetized, dulled,
paralyzed. And with the capacity for
enjoyment gone, the desire to linger
upon this beautiful and attractive
globe fades into almost absolute eras-
ure.
In youth Death is hideous and
frightful figure. In middle age, it's
hideousness has been softened and
toned down, and if one has passed
his three score and ten, Death is re-
garded as coming and friendly host
who, sooner or later, will kindly in
vite those fatigued with long life's
journey to come into his hospitable
and quiet cloister for everlasting,
peaceful rest. Experiences in living
are constant succession of expert
ments, some of them bringing joy and
pleasure and some of them bestowing
sorrow and pain. Every human be-
ing can tell of pleasures, joys, pains,
sorrows, woes, passed through, but no
one experiments with Death but once.
Therefore no one knows what it is to
die nor what sensations dying brings.
We know only that after Death there
is neither anguish, nor suffering
nothing but repose and rest Every
night, for hours, in sleep the senses
are dead and we are dead as dead
can be to all the outer world and
as we sleep for the relief it brings,
for the rest and quiet it gives from
cares and tolls, why should we fear
it's elder brother Death, which
grants, instead of temporary, eternal
repose?

ceeded in combining them, together
with other antiseptics into a pleas
ant, effective tablet.
Druggists sell the remedy under the
name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
and it has met with remarkable sue
cess in the cure of nasal catarrh,
bronchial and throat catarrh and in
catarrh of the stomach.
Mr.. f. n. Benton, whose address is

says: when 1 run up against any
thing that is good l like to tell people
of it. L have been troubled with
catarrh more or less for some time.
Last winter more than ever. Tried
several so-called cures, but did not
get any benefit from them. About
six weeks ago | bought a 50-cent box
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and am
glad to say that they have done Won
ders for me, and l do not hesitate to
let all my frienus know that Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets are the right thing"
Mr.. George j. Casanova, of Hotel
Chiffon, West Ninth street. New York
City, writes: Il nave commenced
using Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and
already they have given me better
results than any catarrh cure L have
ever tried"
y leading physician of Pittsburg
advises the use of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets in preference to any other
treatment for catarrh of the head,
throat or stomach.
He claims they are far superior 10
inhalers, salves. lotions or powder,
and are much more convenient and
pleasant to take and are so harmless
that little children take them with
benefit as they contain no opiate,
cocaine or any poisonous drugs.
All druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets at 50 cents for full size pack
age, and they are probably the safest
and most reliable cure for any form
of catarrh.

The Party of Morality in Pennsylva.

The Party OF Morality In Pennsylva-
| mia.
1t is very doubtful whether the re-
publicans could hold Pennsylvania
if it was not for the humbuggery en-
ployed by the high morality party in
the elections. This fraudulent work
is not confined to Philadelphia, but
is used by the machine bosses all
over the state, wherever they have
the power and the opportunity to
employ it. Had there been n fair
election in Pennsylvania last week
the democrats would have carried
the state by a large majority. As
| il was, the republican tactics only
pulled the party ticket through by a
beggarly ma ority. In Philadelphia
alone there was the most scandalous
pollution of the ballot boxes, and the
republicans voted more fraudulent
votes in that city alone than their
majority in the state. The Philadel-
phia Press, a republican paper, de-
clares that repeaters piled their evil
work at every polling place, and that
policemen paid to protect citizens re-
fused protection and were them
selves most active workers for the
machine ticket, and aided and abet-
ted in the fraudulent practices. The
Press says:
Our local columns tell in part the
hideous story of political bulldozing,
unfairness and fraud. 1t is of neces-
sity but n small part of the total.
Further details will doubtless be Civ
en- in court. Enough is known to
prove that in the least a dozen wards
of the city yesterday the election
was a farce. The rights of voters
were disregarded, and the result
there represents nothing but the will
of the machine enforced by unscru-
pulous and ruffianly agents.
Every decent-minded citizen of
Philadelphia must feel the shame and
disgrace of this condition of affairs.
Suffrage is polluted at its fountain
head and elections made record of
successful fraud. The police con-
tributed to this political debauchery.
not furtively and on their own ac-
count. but openly, knowing that they
in no other way could so surely Sc
cure the good will of their superiors.
\ more general appointment of the
right kind of overseers would have
contributed greatly TO keeping down
fraud yesterday. Had the court been
in session, many who improperly
were denied the right to vote could
have had their rights restored and
enforced, but the court which has
sat OH many other election days to
see that justice was done and wrongs
were righted consulted its ease yes
terday and adjourned over the legal
holiday.
There was nothing, therefore. left
but n few magistrates to withstand
the machine raid on the ballot boxes.
They did a noble service. The union
party committee and its agents did
much to abate the evil. But enough
fraud and intimidation remained UNI
checked and unrebulled to cause
every self-respecting Philadelphia
to hang his head in shame, for the
corruption and wrong was not only
tolerated but expedited and encour-
aged by the. agents of our municipal
government and of the machine that

Our Distinguished Visitors.

The fact that Rock Island is about
to be honored with a visit from the
Swedish prelate. Bishop Won Scheele
and Lady Won Scheele, is interesting
in more ways than one. The bishop
comes as the high representative of
the state church of Sweden to the
Swedish chudches and institutions of
America, by direction of the king.
Although the Swedes and their cous-
ms of Norway. and Denmark have
come to the United States in such
great numbers as to become impor-
tant factors in our national life,
nevertheless the notables of Sweden
in particular have not been frequent
visitors to the United States.
1t is a distinction peculiarly true of
the Swedish people that of all the
foreigners who come to our shores to
cast their lots. none are more inten-
sely loyal and enthusiastic in the
spiritof devotionto the adopted coun-
try, and none bear in their hearts
deeper or more abiding attachments
for their native land. The Swedes
who after having settled in America
have returned at intervals to visit
their old home across the seas, were
not inclined to go back to stay even
when they had acquired enough of
this worlds goods to enjoy position
of affluence at home. They did not
seem to have lost a particle of their
natural love and respect for their ma
tive land, but nevertheless, they call
ed themselves Americans and enter
tanned a different view of life. They
still loved their old home but they
loved America too fOndly to give up
their citizenship in the republic. Thus
Bishop Won Scheele finds his country
men in the United States today. The
distinguished divine must indeed have
felt his patriotism stirred to its pro-
foundest depths at Lindsborg, Kan,
this week, where the goth anniversary
festival of Bethany college was in
