TO CONVENE IN NORFOLK
DEMOCRATS TO NOMINATE CON-
GRESHAM HERE AUGUST 20.
WILL BE GRAVES OR HOWARD

The Democratic Congressional Com
mittee of the Third District Last
Night Met In Norfolk and Deter
mined to Hold Convention Here.
Democrats of the Third congression-
al district of Nebraska will nominate
congressman in Norfolk on Wednes-
day, August %, at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon. The convention place and
date was set last night at a meeting
of the democratic congressional cen
tral committee, which was held at the
OXnard hotel.
1t was the general sentiment of the
committeeman who attended the con-
vention that the nominee of a candi-
date to make the race in this district
against whomever the republicans put
up as a successor to Mccarthy, will
be either Judge Graves of Pender OF
Judge Edgar Howard of Fremont. P.
E. McKillip, the candidate two years
ago, was present last night and was
made temporary chairman of the con-
vention. Edgar Howard was also pres
ent at the committee meeting.
Those who attended the committee
meeting were: Dan V. Stephens, sec
retary of the central committee, Ere
mont; Sheriff E. A. Dwyer, Pierce;
w. p. Cowan, Stanton; ]. B. McDon-
mel, Pierce; Judge Douglas Cones,
Pierce; A. H. Bachaus, Pierce; Walter
Phillips, Columbus; ]. M. Johannes,
Columbus; Patrick Emmett McKillip,
Humphrey; Edgar Howard, Fremont;
DR.. J. H. Mackay, oNrfolk.
The convention will be held in the
Auditorium here, this building having
been promised for the convention by
the Norfolk Commercial club. The
representation for the convention was
placed at two delegates-at-large from
each county in the district and one
delegate for each 100 votes cast for
Mr.. McKillip, or each major fraction
thereof.
Pierce Wanted Convention.
There was something of a contest
in the committee meeting last night
over the location of the convention.
Pierce wanted it, and yet some of the
committeeman favored Norfolk on ac-
count of the location.
1--WE all want Edgar Howard to
make the race" said one of the COM
mittee this morning, "but it is impos-
sible as yet to say whether he will do
it or not 1t is very probable that he
will be nominated at our state conven-
ton for railroad commissioner, and as
that convention is week earlier than
this at Norfolk, it is likely he will not
be in the running here"
Mr.. McKillip stated that because of
business reasons and the impossibility
in unloading his affairs onto anyone,
he will hardly be able to make the
race. He said he thinks there will be
six or eight candidates when the time
comes.

The Kitchen Sink.

The ideal sink is of porcelain with
rolled edge, round corners, porcelain
back and open plumbing without q
crack or crevice for dirt or the ever
ready water bug. He is ready still
but he must live in the open and not
lie concealed. A white enamel sink
isaalmost as good as the porcelain and
much less expensive. Soapstone and
slate are very good. and so, too, is the
copper-lined sink. The great danger
ia the porcelain and enameled sinks
is the breaking Of delicate china and
glass. The copper lining is much the
best for that. The wooden drain
boards tipping slightly toward the
sink are great convenience. Ere
quently rubber mats with roughened
surface are placed in these to keep the
dishes from slipping. There are, be
sides, wire and nickel-plated dish
drainers, which will keep the plates
separated one from another while
draining.-Harper's Bazaar.

LITTLE THINGS AND sIe.
Differentiate Between the Essential
and the Non-Essential.

Little things are often of great Inn
portance. but when they are so they
are not little. The pinion of a watch
wheel. for example, in one sense is
little, in another sense 1t is not so at
all; for when ii is not perfectly adj
iusted, the watch is worthless for time
keeping. 1t is not size that makes a
thing little or great, but its relation to
the end for which number Of things
are combined. II thing is essential
1t is important. Because so many of
the people who are always preaching
the importance of little things fail to
discriminate between the little and the
non-essential, they often make a
wretched mess of the management Of
their own and other peoples affairs.
Theoretically, if every factor that con-
tributes to result is perfect, the re-
suit will be perfect; but practically,
for want of time, strength and oppor-
tunity, the efficient man is compelled
| to neglect some things for the sake OF
| others; and, in order to do this and
| yet secure the main end, he has to
| discriminate between the essential and
the non-essential. The one who Is
thoroughly imbued with the false doc
trine of the importance of little things

ing the main chance.-The Waterman
