The muggy, damp weather of mid summer produces an ideal condition for the development of the various forms of ptomaine poisons. It is this season that the family turn to the ice box danties for luncheon and suppers, and the ice box is the home of the ptomaine, says one writer. 1t is produced by the breaking up of the proteid mole-cule In the albumens and meats of the larder as result of bac- terial growths. Under some cohdi- tions, the action of these germs may make only for flavor and give a zest to the palate, while under others they cause decomposition in meats, milk and cheese which produce the deadly poison. On a microscopic but almost as dangerous scale it is the old ques- ton whether the fungus picked up ill the field is q mushroom or toadstool. Cleanliness is the best preventive of the dreaded poison. To be reasonably safe, keep the ice box clean. Scala it out at least once week and let it air. Do not eat food that shows mold. If the sense of smell is offended, through the food, out with it to the garbage can. Heed promptly a warning from your palate. The senses may not al ways be relied upon to protect you, but they will go q good way toward warning you against the presence of tyrotoxicon or the other forms of ptomaine.

Speaking of the republican platform an exchange says that there is nothing magnetic about it. It lacks aggress- iveness, 1t lacks vitality. It puts the party in the position of the man who commits wrong and rather than con- fess the wrong persists in its commis- sion. The Chicago platform is a per- feet illustration of stubbornness in the matter of governmental evil tenden- cies. It reveals lack of elasticity on the part of the republican states manship. It shows that the party which started its career with John 0. specific idea in view is unable to out live the past and meet the conditions of a half century later. The republi- can party during the past two admin istrations has made several grave far reaching mistakes which wisdom rec commended should be immediately rec tified. Had their courage measured up to a lofty type of statesmanship Ley would have framed their platform with correcting purpose in view. Instead of that, they concluded to stand pat'' on their record. There is no evident disposition to mold their policies to meet the demands of 1904. They present no new virtues Of an at tractive form. They proclaim their purpose to continue their selfish and marrow minded policies despite many complaints in thetr own party.

900 shots but only LOGO Russians hit,
 therefore only every seven-hundredth shot proved deadly. The 29,5OO,0o0 shots discharged by the French in the same war killed 53,00O Russians,
 every fve-hundredth shot taking effect. The Rus
 sans, the other hand, killed 900 allied troops with 45,ooo,000 cartridges. Thus only the nine hundred and tenth bullet found its bllet-a propor-

WELL DONE
The Kinkaid Bill Passed the House.

Congressman Kinkaid has Sc
cured the passage of his Section
Homestead Bill in the House. 1t
is a great victory and fully
proves his ability as a legislator.
A greater work could not have
been done for the Sixth District
which he represents. The bill
now goes to the Senate under the
management of Senator Dietrich.
This will give the Senator an
opportunity to raise himself in
the estimation of the people of
western Nebraska. The Wash

Kinkaid over the success of his

Land Commissioner Follmer
has reported to the board of edu-
cational lands and funds that the
$4,000 appropriated by the last
Legislature to defray the expense
of reappraising school land has
increased the annual rental of
school lands by 500, 1865. II. In
addition to this, the value of
state lands, and its selling price,
has been nearly tripled. The old
valuation was $623,735.34 a
ridiculously low estimate, and
the value as found by the APP
praisers is 81, 776, 60O45 an in
crease of$1, 156, ss4.57. This in
crease is not confined to any par
ticular section of the state, but
appears to be uniform through
out. Commissioner Follmer ex-
plains that there may be instanc-
es in which injustice has been
done to tenants and prospective
purchaser by the new appraise-
ment, but he believes that in the
main it is correct and as nearly
fair to all as a work of that
magnitude can we'll be. Individ-
ual cases may be taken up later
by the commissioner and cor
rections made if any should be
deemed necessary.

a Custer County Boy.

We print below Il clipping from
the Nebraska State Journal. Mr..
Myers, who is mentioned as a
member of the Academy Debat-
ing team, is doing his work pre-
paritory to the University at the
Lincoln Academy. This school
is strictly preparatory to the Uni
versity and has an enrolment of
two hundred and fifty pupils.
MIR. Myers was formerly student
in the Broken Bow High School.
The Journal says:
"a debate was held last night
in the Y. NJ. C. A. gymnasium
between teams from the Lincoln
academy and the Y. NJ. G. A. de-
batting club. The academy had
the affirmative of the question:
Resolved, That it is for the best
interests Of both Canada and the
United States for Canada to be
annexed to the United States. -
Two judges decided in favor of
the academy and one for the Y.
M. c. A. The debators were:
Academy-Miller, H. p. DeYoung
and Fl. G. Myers. Y. M. c. A.
club-Earl Denny, Harry Willis
and Alfred Swan. The judges
were E. r. Buckner, G. A. Lee

versity debating fame"

The contention between Hearst

The contention between Hearst
and Parker for the democratic
nomination is growing interest
ing. The total number of dele
gates that will be in the St.
Louis convention is 1000. If
New York state instructs for
Parker it will give him SAT to
start with or 100 short of the re-
CURED two thirds majority. AS
Olney, Cockrell and Wall each
have a few delegates, Hearst will
lack a hundred or two in having
enough to control the convention
to say nothing of the required
two thirds majority necessary to
secure the nomination. This
makes it look very much as the
Cleveland element will control
the nomination of the next demo
crat convention.

Stuckey's Barn Burned.

Last Saturday morning A. H.
Stuckey's barn, half mile north
of the city was burned to the
ground, including its contents.
Just how the fire started is d
mystery. Mr.. Stuckey thinks it
must have started from a match
that must have been dropped
some time previous in the hay in
the manager. The boys had but
few minutes before taken the
horses out to water. The fire
started in the manger and shot
up into the hay NOW and ignited
the hay. Mr.. Stuckey was near
at hand and saw it soon after it
started, but it was impossible to
prevent the destruction. The
fire alarm called out the fire COM
panies, but as the building was
out of the water limit they could
do but little as the fire was too
we'll along to get near it with
buckets. Mr.. Suckney had lot

none but the blind and in the
ultimate both fall in the ditch.
eve have the tariff yet we
are proud to state is true. 1t IS
true from the fact that we have
republican PRESIDENT and con-
gress. They always stand for
protective tariff for the American
producer and manufacturer and
it is largely because of that fact
that we can boast of republican
administration at the helm of
state today. We had tried four
years of free trade democracy,
for which the Beacon is again
signing, Chat it may replemish
its exchecquer with sheriff sale
notices., but the people who re-
member those days of poverty
and misery are not anxious to re-
turn to the wallow. All there is
of prosperity that exists today
over the free trade days of Cleve-
land and Bryan democracy is due
to the protective tariff policy in
auguerated and maintained by
the republican party. The RE-
PUBLICAN is proud to note the
favorable comparison.
But what bearing has that up
on our taxes in Custer county be-
ing nearly doubled?"
If, as the Beacon insinuates
our taxes are "nearly doubled"
on the same valuation of former
years the republican party is not
responsible. The taxes of 1903
was levied by a populist county
board. It is true we have had a
majority of republicans of one on
the county board since January
9, 1904. But that board has
made no levy and cannot until
the assessors have made their re-
turns this year. The expenses
of last year and the tax levy of
last year were incurred by the
populist board of last year. The
same board that awarded the
county printing to the Beacon
and Chief last year is the board
that incurred the expenses and
made the tax levy for 1908, that
is past due and being collected
so effectually by county treasur-
err, w. A. George, a republican
official.
If upon the other hand it is
found upon investigation, that
the levy is no higher than the
previous years, but that property
has NEARLY doubled" in value,
the republican party pleads
guilty of having caused the in
crease in value, but it is not
guilty of putting the levy up at
its former rate on a double valua-
ton. For that crime the popu-
list board and its supporters are
wholly responsible.
This year (1904) we have a re-
publican board, a republican re-
venue law, republican assessors.
And while we anticipate an as
sessed valuation of three or four
times of that of 1908, we venture
that the taxes will be less, on the
dollar, based on one fifth of its
valuation than they were in 1903,
when the Beacon and a pop
board were in control of the
county finances.
