She Diagnosed His Case.

A certain Broken Bow layman
is telling good joke on the
minister of his church which is
said to have actually occurred at
the home of the layman a few
evenings ago. Several days ago
the 7-year old daughter of the
layman complained to her mother
thather stomach felt bad. per
haps it's because it is empty, said
her mother. at might feel better
if you had something in it,"
The Iother night the minister
called at the house and, in reply
to question put to him by the
head of the family concerning
his health, the minister stated
that he felt we'll but that his
head felt bad that day. Before
either the layman or his wife
could offer sympathy the little
daughter spoke up and said:
perhaps it's because tits empty.
1t might feel better if you had
something in it," And then
followed very profuse explana-
ton by mama to the seemingly
great relief of the minister whose
laugh was rather sickly at the
conclusion of the child's remarks.

First Husband Then Lover.

The exquisite concert of the
comedy in 1.-THE Marriage of
Kitty" which is to be seen at the
Opera house on Monday evening,
Oct 22nd, under the management
of Jules hurry, is one of the de-
lights of the season. Miss
Kitty Silverton comes to London
to seek the advice of her God
father in the matter of future
employment and decides that
marriage is the one and only
desirable employment that she
cares to consider. She has no
one in view but will rely on the
good taste of her guardian. Will
he please pick her out a husband?
Fate sends him an old friend,
Baronet, whose uncle left his will
in such unambiguous phrase that
should he marry the lady of his
heart, a certain Peruvian widow,
he will lose the entire fortune.
The barrister calmly brings it
about that the young lord mafries
Kitty temporarily" thus avoid
ing complications with the will,
and leaves it to be understood
that he will obtain for them a
divorce at the proper time and
thus allow the infatuated lover
to marry Sin earnest" the true
object of his affections. All
goes we'll until chance throws the
Baronet into the society of his
wife" whom he finds to be most
fascinating. The Peruvian lady
has proved to be a most jealous
and unpleasant person for regular
companionship, and in the charm
of his own wife-of-an-hour the
lover shifts his allegiance from
the widow to the wife and runs
away with his real sweetheart,
Kitty.

Is Perfectly Competent.

In nominating VIM. Warren,
of Galloway, for representative,
the republican convention held at
Broken Bow, voiced our senti-
ments exactly, as we have known
Mr.. Warren personally and are
in position to know that he is
a gentleman, and is perfectly
competent for the Office he
aspires. He is a man that is
always ready for anything that
is beneficial to the general public.
Mr.. Warren is a man who has
put in a great deal of study on
the question of good roads, and
this is the one thing which the
people have been praying for,
hence the sensibility Of placing
an advocator of good roads in
the Legislature. Let the voters
not stop at the nomination of
Mr.. Warren, but when the proper
time comes, cast their vote, and
elect him to the legislature

An Old Time Land Case.

The U. S. Land Office of this
place is hearing a final proof and
protest on a timber claim this
week that was filed on eighteen
years ago.
The case is one in which d.
A. Swisher made a timber claim
entry near Arnold nearly eigh-
teen years ago. After cultivating
the land and planting trees for
a time the entryman was sent to
the Asylum for the insane ia
Norfolk. After the limitation
of time to make proof the
Government cancelled the entry
and VIM. Watkins filed homestead
papers on the land. The relates
of Swisher entered protest land
the General Land Office granted
a hearing of the case. Watkins
entry was cancelled by the
Government and a further in
vestigation ordered. A year ago
the relatives were given leave to
make proof. For seven years
the claim has been in litigation.
The proof is now being taken
and the protest evidence SUBJ
mitted by Watkins goes to the
special appointed commission for
final judgment.

-Four inches of snow is reported
at Carthage, N. Y, and fruit
trees of all kinds broken down
under the weight of the snow
from Buffalo through to Albany,
while here in Nebraska the
citizens are enjoying balmy,
sunshiny days and the best ozone
which can be found upon this
continent. 1t is strange that
people will continue to reside in
such an inclement region as the
Empire state when they can
enjoy the invigorating and
agreeable climate of Nebraska
where a home can be had for
merely the asking and a small
amount of work in improving it.

The fusion newspapers are
endeavoring to make capital out
of a suit against the State
Journal company for damages in
the sum Of SS4, 500, wherein it is
alleged the Journal sold supreme
court reports to that amount,
upon which the state owned the
copyright. The fusion press is
advertising this suit in an effort
to show the Journal is support
ing Brown, in the expectation
that he would fail to prosecute
vigorously the suit against the
paper.
But as a matter of fact the
record of Mr.. Brown is clear on
this suit, and inasmuch as his
brief, on file in the supreme court,
can be seen at any time, the
fusionists can only get consola-
ton out of the story by appeal
ing to the people on the record
of the Journal, The suit was
first filed by Attorney General
Prout. A hearing was had and
the Journal company won. About
the time Norris Brown was
elected attorney general the
decision was handed down. He
at once filed motion for a
rehearing and it was granted.
The case was again argued, and
it is now in the hands OF the
supreme court, with the decision
due at any time. Mr.. Browns
argument is on file in the supreme
court and has been for months
and is public property.
The fusion press is very much
lat home" Saturday afternoons
and every day and night in the
week when it comes to manu-
featuring, the chief output being

The Legislative Ticket.

Republicans should not fail to
vote for the Legislative ticket at
the approaching election. Both
the candidates for the house, as
we'll as the candidate for the
senate are pledged to the republi-
can state platform which pro-
vides for reform Legislation de-
nanded by the public. Further
than that they will support the
administration of republican
governor, Sheldon, whose cleo
ton is a foregone conclusion.
Not only that, they will vote for
the election of Norris Brown,
republican United States Senat-
or, who will support President
Roosevelt's fearless adminstra-
ton.

If there is any class of employees
in any line in this country who
deserve pensions 1t is the railway
mail clerks. III consequence OF
the position of mail cars in all
railroad trains, they are more
liable to be injured than anyone
else on the trains, and their work
is long and hard, requiring the
losestapplication. 1t is wonder
full how few errors are made by
them, considering the difficulties
under which they labor.

Sam Jones, the noted evange

Sam Jones, the noted evange-
ist, died suddenly on a sleeping
car last Sunday night while
enroute from Oklahoma City to
his home, Gainesville, Georgia,
where he was to attend a family
reunion on Tuesday, that day
being the 59th anniversary of
his birth. His sermons were
unique and his manner of con-
Quoting meetings were of the
wild west show order and while
large numbers professed christ
ianity in his meetings they were
not the stick-to-it kind and it is
doubtful if any good was really
accomplished by his evangelistic
work.

A vote for the Legislative ticket
is vote for principle, rather
than for the personal of men. A
vote for the republican candi-
dates is vote for Norris Brown
for the United States senate and
for the endorsement of President
Roossvelt's administration. A
vote for either of the fusion
Legislative candidates is a vote
for w. H. Thompson, the demo-
cratic candidate for the United
States senate.

combined, to Norris Brown is no
more than was expected after his

courts against them. If we mis-
take not the temper of the bust
