ROOT PENSIONED
old NortherH Pacific Engineer has
Been Laid off.
But Salary Will continue to
60 on. Well known
Here.

Jim" Root, oldest engineer
on the Northern Pacific Railway
system, has been laid off and his
days of active railroading are
over, but his salary still goes on
in pay ment of adebt of gratitude
that the company owes him.
Jim Root was one of the heroes
of the terrible Hinkley fire. It
was due to his iron nerve that
the passengers of his train were
saved from a roasting On that
memorable day. Root had charge
of a train between st. Paul and
Dulu tn and was caught in a
hot bed of flames when trying to
make the town of Hinkley.
But Root stuck to the throttle
while his fireman poured water
over him and the engine cab to
keep it from burning. When
Skunk Creek was reached Root
and his fireman we're carried
from the engine more dead than
alive by the passengers of the
train and place of safety from
the flames was found in the
waters and mud of the creek.
Root is now seventy three
years old and as long as he lives
his salary will go on. Eighteen
months ago he was transferred
to the Washburn branch of the
N. P. and it was while making
this place his headquarters that
he became quite well known here,

Chauttauquas.

York Times: No doubt the State
Journal is right in saying the chautau-
qua has opened a new field of influence
and raised up a new class of states
men. The literary people, the college
professors and specialists in various
lines Of thought are given an opportu-
nifty to present their thoughts directly
to the masses in an effective way, and
all of them have views on political
questions which they are at liberty TO
advance. They are largely theorists
and outside of their specialties are not
always the best authority. Still they
give us theory and speculation, while
we get the more practical views from
the statesmen who constitute no in
significant part of the talent" The
chautauqua is destined to be a great
educator and it is greatly to the credit
of the people of the country that they
patronize them so generally and enjoy
them so well.

gambling and concessions of a ques-
tiOnable character. He was followed
| by these remaks by Congressman J..

views.

HEARD RANDALL'S PROMISE.
Stanton County Men Say He Acknowl-
edqed He Had His Share.

Stanton Picket Following is a
Norfolk dispatch to the Omaha Bee,
which appeared in that paper one day
last week:
Rather peculiar political fight has
developed in the Eleventh Nebraska
state senatorial district. c. A. Ran.
dali of Madison county, is a candi-
date for the republican nomination to
succeed himself while republicans of
Stanton county say that this is their
year, by virtue of long-established pre-
cedent, to select the republican nomi.
nee. They have presented the name
of R. Y. Appleby and are solidly sup
porting him. The Eleventh district
consists of Madison, Stanton, Pierce
and Wayne counties. 1t has always
been the custom for each county to
take it's turn in rotation in furnishing
the republican candidate. Appleby's
friends say they were told by Randall
before any announcements were made
that, if Stanton county wanted the
place, he would waive his candidacy,
realizing that it was Stanton county's
turn. Randall does not admit he made
this promise. Appleby announced him
self first, followed shortly by Randall,
who says his record in reform work
entities him to second term. Wayne
and Pierce counties are practically
neutral as yet. Madison county re
publicans and papers are divided, some
supporting Randall and some contend
ing Mat in good faith the nomination
must go to Stanton county. Appleby's
friends point out that in twenty-five
years Madison county has had six
senators, Stanton county only one,
Wayne four and Pierce two"
The above article is, in the main,
fair and impartial statement of the
situation in this district, but there are
few points on which we must differ
with its writer. The article intimates
that Mr.. Randall denies having made
| the statement that he would not enter
| the race if Stanton had a candidate.
We do not believe that Mr.. Randall
will deny having made such promise,
were present at the time he made it,
and it was only upon his positive
statement to this effect that Mr.. APP
pleby's candidacy was announced.
AS to whether Mr.. Randall's good
record entities him to a second term
good many doubts may be expressed
on this point. For the same reason
Mr., Randall might claim the right to
life term in the legislature. Besides
he is not the first representative of the
Eleventh district who has made a
good record in the legislature. Were
the Stanton candidate a man of less
ability, or were he unknown and un
tried, there might be some ground fol
the second term argument. But those
