To those interested in the study of the heavens an object of special interest is now presented in the double tailed comet dis covered by Barley of Marseilles, France, about three weeks ago, seen recently by c. M. Charrop-
 pin of the St. Louis University and Campbell of the Lick Uni- versity. It can now be seen in the southeast heavens about two degrees southwest of the bright star Alpha Cygne. It travels about five degrees daily toward the southwest. It will be nearest the sun Aug. 27 when it's distance from the sun will be 31, ,000, ,00G miles. The unassisted eye can now see it but, it appears as a hazy patch of light. With a good field glass 1t may be easily seen in outline. Double tailed comets are not common and it will be opportune for the young to look upoN this one, the like of which may not appear again for centuries. Look for to the south east of the center of the heavens.

Ar Russell, Kan. the other day two negroes were laid off on the auction block for harvest hands. They were John and Harper Porter and known as good work CTS. The bidding was spirited, ;, starting with S2.50 per day. Huston Reinhart finally secured them on a bid of S3.21 per day. Adam Bender was the auctioneer. At Victoria, just over the line in Ellis county, another colored man asked for bids for hand who would pitch on stack all of the grain one header could cut. On this condition the negro brought a s6 per day bid. So much for Kansas big wheat crop.

"THIs," says Fred Badger in his Neodesha, Kansas, Register, ''beats life insurance all to pieces:
 A chemist has determined by painstaking analysis that hu-
 man body of the average size contains three pounds and three ounces of calcium. The current value of calcium is $500 an ounce, which would give us each 8 value in the retort of SIS, 300, or one- fourth our weight in gold. You save the premiums while you are alive, and have yourself made into calcium after you are dead and it won't hurt much. Why hide your calcium light?'

THE building of a new court house in Carroll county is an in dispensible necessity, no matter where the county seat is To- cated. A much better one than the present one ever was can be secured free to the tax payers, if the county seat is moved to Green Forest, tc say nothing of the other conveniences to be had by making the change.

The Tribune never could see
any more reason why the school
board should be non-partisan
than why the city council and
the city officials should be. For
any Office short of members of
congress and president, or mem
bers of the Legislature when their
duty is to choose a United States
Senator, tile main purpose of par
ties IS to afford the people an OPP
portunity to choose between can
didates presented. When there
is fusion, that is to say non
partisan nominations, the people
surrender their right to choice to
the delegates to a convention,
who may in turn delegate
authority to conference COM
mittee to agree on candidates.
The better way to carry on the
business is for the parties to each
nominate good men and give the
people an opportunity to choose
the best from these nominees. -
Fremont Tribune.
The above voices our senti-
ments. You may pretend to be
non-partisan, but partisanship
has more or less to do with your
vote. In Broken Bow it has all
ways been the policy to nominate
members of the school board at a
mass convention when party
preferences are supposed not to
be a ruling factor. While it
Should not be SO, it is true that
many voters are governed by
their political preferences rather
than by qualification or personal
friendship. We know of one
person at our recent school eau
Gus who was approached in the
interest of the candidacy of a
personal friend. He declined to
give his support, giving as a rea-
son that the party was a re-
publican " The party soliciting
was favoring the republican
and populist which shows that
ali are not so narrowly construct
ed. But there are always those
who are influenced from political
preferences even in a non-politi-
cal contest for school officers,
and not unfrequently such per-
sons hold the balance of power.

Prc,lPar,les o be- Projected

The dill controlling primary
election. just passed by the Ne
braska legislature is a wise pro-
vision. 1t has too frequently
been the case that some design
ing person seeks to defeat the
will of the majority of his party
by securing the assistance of a
lot of voters who do not affiliate
with the party. We claim that
every party should be allowed to
make its own nominations. If it
makes a mistake it alone must
endure the shame. We believe
that political principles are, clear
ly enough defined that every per.
son of ordinary intelligence should
be able to line up with some one
of the parties. If he can not he
certainly has no right to be adj
mitted to the councils of any
party. We admire a person WHO
has the courage of his convic-
lions and can always be depend
ed upon. The individual who
tries to carry water on both
shoulders is not the character
that should be allowed to shape
the destiny of any party. This
bill just passed is intended to
protect political parties from such
rengegrades. We hope the gov
ernor may see his way clear to
sign the bill.

North Platte and Candy are
perfecting plans to build an cleo

good move. Here is chance for

The revenue law on which the
Legislature has been hard at work
most of the present term is now
in the hands of the Senate and
will in all probability pass that
house this week. The bill pro-
vides for assessing all property
at one fifth of its cash value and
cuts the state levy from 7 to 5
mills. The state board is given
full authority in determining the
value of railroad property which
means that corporation will be
assessed upon the same basis of
all other property of the state.

TIL Broken Bow Business college.

The Broken Bow Business
College is rapidly taking on new
life since its incorporation. The
new management proposes to
place it upon substantial basis
in every particular and make it
one of the best schools OF its kind
in the state. Under the reor-
ganization, the faculty is COM
posed of Prof. H. d. Davis, COM
merc,al instructor; Prof. Blue is
again installed as instructor in
pennmanship; Prof. Barnes, in
structor in telegraphy; Miss
Brownrigg, short hand and type
writing; Miss Pinkley, assistant
commercial department and Prof.
Roush, Superintendent.
The rooms are equipped with
the best white maple desks made
to order and seated with the
latest improved furniture. The
black board is ample and most
conveniently arranged. The
seating capacity is sufficient to
accommodate 300 pupils. While
the attendance not only numbers
about 14O the enrolment exceeds
200. At this season of the year
a number are detained at home
with their spring work. AS the
scholarship provides for the COM
pletion Of the course for which
they enroll it enables pupils and
parents to suit their own con-
venience in attending when they
can best be spared from home.
In connection with the college u
night school is conducted for the
benefit of those who can not at
tend through the day that desire
to take lessons in pennmanship
telegraphy, type writing or in
any other department of the
course. The school has a num-
Der of the best business men of
the city, country and ranches
back Of it as we'll as the moral
support of the entire community
which assures for it successful
) future.
The board has decided to
prosecute the work of soliciting
memb rships through the
summer season and Prof. Roush
will give this department of the
work his individual attention.
AS an evidence of the sub
stantial backing of the institu-
ton the board has furnished us

Lincoln, Neb., March %, 1902.
The feature of the session last
week was the passage of the new
revenue bill in the House. The
final discussion of the measure
was warm and protracted, brought
on mostly by those who desired
to inject important amendments.
The efforts to seriously amend
the bill failed, however, and it
went on it's final passage Friday.
The result was 20 to q in favor
of the bill All but two of those
voting against the measure were
fusionists, driven into line
against it by the party whip. In
this they were simply following
the programme announced at the
commencement of the session
that they "must oppose all inn
portant legislation advanced by
the republican party"
Those who have studied the
new bill, as it now appears and
as it undoubtedly will be accept
ed by the senate, declare that 1t
will put the finances of the state
on a proper basis, without adj
ditional burden on those who are
already properly listing their
property with the assessors. 1t
is believed that enough hidden
property will be brought to light
and better methods of collection
will be enforced, to make up the
deficit now yearly experienced by
the state. 1t is known at this
time that Governor Mickey has
carefully read and thoroughly
approves of the measure and that
had not the legislature taken
hold, he would have called an
extra session to have the work
done.
