Capt. Eric Johnson made the
bold announcement in the New
Era last week, in effect that his
paper will no longer be partisan
newspaper. He has rendered his
resignation as chairman of the
populist county centrall COM
mittee, and says; eve shall
feel that the official relationship
to the party us in fact severed,
and the party no longer respon-
sible for our individual express
sions in the editorial columns of
the New Era" Captain Johnson
loes not want his readers to in
fer that he has ceased to be a
populist, nor that he has chang
ed his political principles in 43
years of active participation in
politics. He says he is loyal to-
lay to the principles of the re-
publican party as enunciated in
is platform of 1856, 1860, 1868,
1868, as he was then. He was

Question in the '7Os and still

Of the peoples independent party.
Not wishing to deprive the popu-
list party of an organ he has
generously set apart one column
that will be under the control of
the editorial management of the
populist county central COM
mittee, His arrangement may
be very pleasant and work salts
factory so far as the editor is
concerned, but the poor candidate
in all probability would prefer to
have a newspaper whose editor
espoused his cause. There is nc
question that the editor can and
does much for his party and there
is no doubt also that many a
successful candidate fails utterly
to appreciate the editors help. -

Here's fine point in law. See
what you can make of it. Some
time ago negro in Alabama was
tried for murder and and sentenc-
ed to be hung by the neck until
dead. The sentence was carried
out by the sheriff, he was sus-
pended by the neck for fifteen
minutes and pronounced dead by
the attending surgeons. After
being cut down his body was
turned over to another medical
man who was DESTROYS of making
some scientific experiments.
After working with the body for
several hours life was restored,
and the negro is alive and we'll
,oday. Now the question arises;
n the eyes of the law is the man
lead or is he alive2 If he is
lead he is very much alive for a
lead man, while if he is alive he
has not been hung by the neck
until dead. He has been tried,
Convicted, sentenced and hung,
although not dead. Can he be
tried again for the same offence

Senator Hanna's objections to
the Ohio Republican State con-
vention endorsing the candidacy
of Theodore Roosevelt for the
presidency this year is not well
founded. The people have al
ready made the endorsement and
we can see no reason why their
delegates assembled in conven-
ton should be prevented from
ratifying the decisions.

H. c. Russell, the government
astronomer of Au tralia has
positively settled the question in
his own mind that the moon con-
trolls the rain fall. His theory
is when the moon is moving
south there is plenty of rain and
when novingl north there are
years of drouth. So there are
alternate wet and dry seasons.
The wet lasting nine years and
the drouth ten years. If his
theory is correct it suggests that
now is the time for the farmers
to lay by for the period of drouth
when our time comes. Nebraska
as well as the'entire vest is hay
ing its full share of rain now
while Australia is suffering for
it and according to Prof. Russell
will for the next two years to
come.

ing Glass In the Opera House In
the Evening.
Gov. J. H. Mickey arrived in
the city Tuesday morning from
Lincoln and spent the day and
night in the city on invitation of
the Broken Bow School Board.
On his arrival at s o'clock COM
mittee met him at the depot and
took him in charge. He was
taken to the home of Hon. James
Whitehead where he was enter
tanned for breakfast. After
breakfast he was shown over the
city calling on all the business
h SEES and in N aki ng
the acquaintance of many citi-
Gems on the streets. At 10
o'clock the school children as
sembled at the school houses and
in charge of their several teach
ers marched to the city park to
meet the Governor. The Broken
Bow Cornet Band entertained the
assemblage with several selec-
tions of music until the Govern
or arrived on the grounds. At
II o'clock the meeting was called
to order by l.. H. Jewett, and
introduced Ner Hartly, who made
report of his work in securing
the funds that had erected the
tower, flag pole and purchased
the new flag that adorned it for
the first time. A. r. Humphrey
on behalf of the committee made
formal presentation of the
tower and flag to the city in a
short and appropriate address.
Mayor Purcell in response to the
presentation speech in brief
talk accepted the gift, expressing
the gratitude of the city, and
pledged that the flag would be
displayed from the pole on all
state and public days.
J. R. Dean in a short speech
introduced the Governor who
spoke at length to the children,
expressing his pleasure of meet
ing them on this occasion. His
remarks were along the line of
good citizenship and loyalty to
God and country, and noting the
rapid progress of our nation, a
result of our liberal educational
system. On retiring from the
Park the pupils marched in
single file by the Governor who
had a word and hand shake for
each.
The afternoon was spent in
charge of the reception COM
mite visiting the county officers
and a ride to the country.
The occasion of the Governors
visit was to deliver an address tc
the Graduating Class of the Bro
ken Bow Schools.
Commencement Exercises.
The commencement exercises
: were held in the opera house
Tuesday night. The hall was
filled to it's full capacity and a
most excellent and interesting
program was carried out. The
great wall of potted flowers that
occupied the front of the stage
gave much the resemblance Of
green house.
Music was furnished by the
Broken Bow Orchestra aftel
which prayer was offered by Rev
S. T. Morris, pastor of the Bap
fist church. The invocation
was followed with piano sole
by Miss Pearl Liggett.

adorned with clusters of luscious-look-
Sng grapes of rich purple hue. The
south window bears, in the center, a
cross surmounting crown, and like

the basement of the building. This
room, were it not for the remarkable
properties Of the prism glass Of which
the windo wlights are composed would
have been rather dark, but while it is
impossible to see out Of the windows,
the light is so transmitted in parallel
rays, that In every corner Of the large
room the smallest print can be readily
real.

can be suggested in that particular
science, as are also those for vent
ilating the building. The pure air from

to muster, which necessitates general
turnout on deck. These turnouts are
always cheerless affairs, for the air is
cold in the lower harbor and the driz-
cling rain has tendency to danpen
the spirits of the sun-loving orientals.
1t is just possible that the seven men
slowed themselves away where the Of
ficrs Of the ship could not find .hem,
and that they are aboard, and not at
large. as is generally believed. A thor

the matter.

the beholder can not form any proper
or adequate idea of its exquisite beauty
until he sees the interior. The building
consists of main room and two trans
epts, the floor of the former sloping
gently toward the pulpit platform,
as is the case in all modern church edi-
fees so as to give an unobstructed view
to each person in the audience. The
pulpit platform extends clear across the
church, and upon it will also be the
choir. In the rear is the Sunday school
room, divided from the body of the
church by a screen, the panels of which
can be elevated SO as to convert the
rooms into one when it is so desired.
The woodwork, with the exception Of
a little redwood in the windows is all
of Oregon fir, cut in such a manner as
to show the natural grain of the wood.
The dome is reproduction in minia-
ture, of course, Of the dome in St. Pauls
and all the beams, as well as those
throughout the building, are furnished
with clusters of incandescent lights.
The church parlor, which is in the
rear Of the right transept. is sufficiently
large to accommodate 50 persons, and
is very pleasant room adorned with
an open fireplace that looks most in
viting. The Sunday school room is
divided into seven little class rooms,
the whole forming segment of a cir
Gle and SO arranged for convenience
that it would be difficult, II not impos-
sible, for any Improvement in the. ar
rangement to be suggested.
On the right Of the pulpit platform is
lthe organ room, and on the left the
pastors study, a very cozy little room.
Around the church additional seating
accommodation can be arranged in
case of necessity by simply raising the
base board, which is also Of Oregon fir
and 30 nicely fitted that even close
observer would scarcely notice that 1t
could be converted into a comfortable
seat when occasion requires. 1t will
seat 100 people nicely.
In all there are about s5 clusters Of
lights in the buildingt
each cluster having three globes. The
windows are marvels Of beauty and ar
tistic skill. and 1t is doubtful If prettier
ones can be found anywhere. The coli
orings blend exquisitely, and the pre-
dominance of green in various shades
makes them restful to the eye. The |
center Of that on the west is adorned |
with bunch of beautiful white lilies,
with the appropriate quotation, Blessed |
are the pure in heart, for they shall see

the north bears q design repre-
