Keep it before the people that
Barnes, the republican candidate for
supreme Judge, was twice appointed
supreme court commissioner by
unanimous vote of the present judges
of the court, in which Judge Sulli-
van, the opposing fusion candidate,
concurred. If he did not possess all
the requisite qualifications for the
judicial position to which he as
pires, would Judge Sullivan have
joined in making him a supreme
court commissioner, not once, but
twice? If faithful and conscientious
service as member of the supreme
court commission deserves promo
ton, Judge Barnes is entitled to
election.-Omaha Bee.

The people of Norfolk and North
Nebraska would like to see the
state board of public lands and
buildings do something toward the re-
building of the hospital for the in
sane, or would like to see a reason
able excuse for the board S non-action.
1t has now been half year since
the 100000 appropriation OF the
legislature was made available but
not a thing has been done that is
visible on the hill toward the rehab-
ilitation of the burned institution.
Great bodies may move slowly, but
most of them actually do move some
time. Whether the board is too
great to move at all or whether its
movement has been so exceeding
small that it is not perceptible to
the naked eye is a matter of con.
lecture to the people of Norfolk and
vicinity that has not definitely been
determined. Because the majority
of the members have no further poll
tical aspirations, is not tantamount
to surcease of duty, and this fine
fall weather is the kind that should
be employed to the best advantage
in raising out of the ruins hospital
for the insane either on the cottage
or some other plan. The people have
long since ceased to speculate on
when active work will commence,
but they would like some sort of
evidence that the state actually has
board of public lands and build
ings and one that is capable of being
aroused from its somnolency.

Down in Connecticut the other
day, gentleman who was a sut-
ferer from chronic indigestion and
who refused to take the advice of his
physicians to eat less and exercise
more, got hot about it and operated
on his throat with a razor. Surgeons
interviewed, tished up the severed end
of the lower section of his asophagus,
sewed 1t on to the upper section,
and otherwise patched him up, The
patient builded better than he knew.
The doctors say he will recover but
that il will be many months before
he can swallow any solid food, When
he has recovered he will have
no dyspepsia, The remedy is heroic,
but promises to be thorough. Still
the faculties of medicine will prob
ably decline to recommend it, as a
panacea for indigestion. Better eat
spoon food voluntarily and save sur,
geon's bills.-State Journal.

The sale of the Daniel Kerr herd
of fine stock in Norfolk yesterday
again goes to prove that the farmers
and stock raisers in this section of
the country are giving more attention
TO the quality OF their stock. Mr..
Kerr had accumulated fine herds,
both of cattle and hogs, and realized
a handsome profit from their sale,
while those who purchased have laid
the foundation for likewise securing
blooded stock to bring rare prices,
whether sold as breeders or on the
market to be slaughtered. 1t is a
branch of the farmers business that
pays well and is interesting, and as
the country develops the stock of in
teriur breed will gradually give way
to that of better quality with adyan-
tage to the farmers and the people
OF the country. 1t takes no more to
feed a thoroughbred than it does
scrub, and the profits are great

The voice of the populist press is
very mucn lacking this campaign,
and it is apparent to all that one has
been made to grow where two grew
before. Those that remain are SO
impregnated with democracy that
there is nothing to distinguish them
from a duly authorized and fully ac-
credited democratic organ. Argu-
ments and policies are all the same,
and the feeble struggles of the rem
nant of populsm for existence are
almost too weak to be noticed.
Since Mr.. Bryan scolded the boys
for running off and acting without
his consent at Denver they have
been very mum, or have slid over to
democracy without struggle.

Ten years ago Platte county far
mer placed an X mark on a silver
dollar and went to town and spent it
with a merchant. Before the year
was out he got the marked dollar
back again for poultry and spent it
again with a village merchant Four
times in six years that dollar came
home to him for produce and three
times he heard of it in the pockets of
his neighbors. The last time he got
it in change three years ago, he sent
il to Chicago to a mail order house
that has amassed a hundred million
dollars by selling third rate stuff
He has not seen that dollar since and
never will till the crack of doom.
That dollar will never pay any more
school or road tax for him, never
help build up the town or country,
never bless and brighten the home of
his neighbors. He sent it entirely
out of the circle of usefulness to him.

How good fool proposition looks

We will admit 1t. We cant pro.

There is really only one thing you
can feel in your bones, and that Is
the approach Of old age.
When man of sixty gives the
same definition to the word "ro-
nance" as a sixteen-year-old girl, it
means that he Is q hopeless fool.
Some of these days there will be
so many leaders in this country that

1t is particularly bad practice for
woman to powder when she doesn't
have enough powder to cover her
neck.
Here Is a problem: Which hurts
the worse: To get over a love af-
fair by marrying, or to get over it
by not marrying?
Here is the situation: Your
friends will not tell you the truth,
and you will not listen when your
enemies try it.
Marriage is supposed to bar a man
from trying to make other women
fall In love with him, but the only
real bar is old age.
A man should save up his money
in order to be able to afford, when
he is 90, time for that necessary half
hours nap at neon.

age, she dresses up" by throwing
shawl over the dress she has on, in

The first token of autumn to you
may be the scarlet on the leaves,
but to us it is a willingness to give
up our share of the watermelon.
1t is not discreditable for a man
or woman to get over love affair;
but there is something wrong with
one or both when two friends quar-

An Atchison man who recently
went east on a vacation estimates
that he spent 81 on weight slot ma
chimes, while killing time while his
wife shopped.
Married men should remember that
if they go out and play with fire,
they will some day repent because
they didn't stay at home and play
with the baby.
If a woman finds out that she has
made a mistake in her marriage, she
makes the best of it, and when a man
makes a similar discovery, he makes
the worst of it.
Here are the facts about it: If
man spends as much as SIS on his
wedding trip, it is something for the
brides kin to boast about in this
section of Kansas.
The attention of preachers is
called to fan-tan, game reckless
women are playing, at which some
times they lose as high in one even

The average person who has been
in a railroad wreck has the same
feeling toward the railroad company
that poor kin has to a rich relation;
ought to get more out of it.
