There is jolly good fellow

Central Nebraska that other and
later residents do not and never
have enjoyed. The enterprising
men who came here in prairie
schooners were of a rugged type
and typical frontiersmen. They
were drawn into a closer relation
ship than those who followed
them after the railroad came.
The best is none too good for
the men who were the pioneers
here a quarter of century ago.
They blazed the way into the
most fertile region of the west

anticipated.

of seventeen c. O. d, packages.

whom, according to the records
at the b & M depot, have re.
ceived less tnan 80 packages OF
the same kind during the past
twelve months, while one of them
received as high as % packages.
If 1T was used for a medicinal
purpose, then that man is ailine
very much and ought to receive
hospital attention.
City Attorney Gadd learned
last Friday of the arrival of this
consignment and he straightway
placed the strong grasp of the
law upon and now holds it
subject to an order of court. He
also filed complaint against each
OF the seventeen persons to whom
1t was shipped and if it is shown
upon trial, it was ordered by
them they are subject to a fine oil
not less than SIS nor more than

that the laws covering the high.

the the statute book, but rather
to prevent its sale where thepeoplt
have declared by their votes il

sworn to do his duty he will
vigorously prosecute all violators
and that he will be commended
by the better element of the com

BY provision of law the city
is at no expense in prosecuting
these cases, even if the city loses

A new comet has been dis
covered in the same old way, just
as comets have been discovered
before, and it is to butt up
against the earth and knock 1t
clear off its regular kerwhirl and
probably burn us up as all comets
that have ever been discovered
have done-or would do accord
ing to sky gazing theorists
except that all comets heretofore
have been of the elusive or decep-
tive breed and failed to connect
as predicted. This newly dis
Covered frey ball is headed right
for the path in which the earth
is travelling, and at the rate it is
coming will want to cross the
earth's path at the same time the
earth occupies that particular
point, the latter part of this
month, so, according to an
astronomer with an almost un-
pronounceable name-Matteucci,
of the Vesuvius abservatery-old
mother earth will soon be
smashed to smithereens by a
broadside from this comet in a
very few days, maybe even before
another issue of the REPUBLICAN,
or anyhow before Easter, and just
think how mauy ladies will be
disappointed and how sad they
will feel when they see all the
beautiful Easter bonnets knocked
into cooked hat by a mean old
measly comet that might just as
well have waited till the first
part of next month as to come
tearing along the latter part of
this month. But the scene is too
sad to further contemplate.

The advice to town lot and
farm owners in Nebraska to plant
trees has become time-worn from
its annual repetition. 1t is a
subject, however, on which it is
difficult to say too much. The
advantages of tree planting in
this state have been so thorough
ly demonstrated that no argu-
ments are necessary to convince
any resident of the practicability
of the plan. The continued sug-
gestion of the press o. the state
will assist in getting many to
make a start. Now is the time
to select trees. Plant a few
around the lot and the farm
building to beautify the property
and for protective purposes.
Don't put it off till next week.
Do It today.

President Roosevelt has ca

President Roosevelt has cam
celed his order regarding the
making of final proof by home
steaders. The original order re-
CURED that proofs be held up till
special examiners could investi-
gate the exact conditions. 1t
seemed to place all settlers under
suspicion of being crooked, and
to that extent was resented by
honest claim holders. Further
irritation was caused by the fact
that great delays would result
from the red tape necessary under
the order and because homestead
ers would be subjected to more
or less annoyance by the examin-
ers. The president gives as his
reason for the cancellation of the
order of Feb, 18th the fact that
congress failed to make an appro-
priation for the payment of the
number of special examiners that
would be necessary to have made
the Investigations. He adds
that the secretary of the interior
will have as complete investiga-
tion made as can be done with
the number of men now engaged
in the work. The provisions of
the law regarding the revocations
of the patents after final proof
when fraud is discovered-are
broad enough to take care of the
crooked cases and the honest
settler can continue to make
final proof in the good old way.
