Death Reward Of poa's Devotion.

Death Reward Of Dogs Devotion.
Pete was the name of q smart dog
In the Loudner family back of Millrift,
Pa The Loudners are Germans. and
the youngest IL three years old and a
boy. Because the dog was too clever
it was killed.
But 1t was 0 1istake.
The child and the dog wandered
some distance from the house in the
afternoon. romping with rubber ball
fastened to the end of a stick. Sud-
denly the dog appeared at the house
and yelping. pulled at the women's
dresses and otherwise acted in such
strange manner as to cause them to
scream Mad dog" and seek safety
on chairs.
George Loudner, attracted BY the
noise. came into the house and shot
the dog. Then the child WAS missed
and search was inst:gated. They
found the youngster in high slee at
the antics Of q big rattlesnaks which
was playing with the rubber ball.
The boy would reach out the whip
with the ball attached and hit the
snake on the head. The reptile
would resent the attack. plainly trying
to sink its fangs into the rubber globe,
all the while rafting and coiling and
~ the ball circlsd about 1t.
Mr.. Louder killed the snake. The
dog was not mad. but had tried In
vain to get some one to aid the child,
md met its death by being too faithful

THE THIRD EFFORT.

For the third time w. j. Bryan has
been nominated for President of the
United States by the Democratic
party. Although Mr.. Bryan dictated
the platform, the old plank of free
silver at the holy ratio was not incor-
porated at Denver, and the para
mount issue of government ownership
of railways, proclaimed in New York
upon the arrival of The Peerless from
his trip around the world, was entirely
ignored. The platform is q declara-
ton of state rights a question upon
which the Democratic party has been
licked politically and physically.
Some of the planks are in harmony
with the ideas of the American people,
but those who areacquainted with Mr..
Bryan are fully aware that his eleva-
ton to the presidency would revive
the question of the free coinage of
silver at his favorite ratio, and the
agitation of government ownership Of
the railways of the country. The in
PRODUCTION of these questions and the
certainty that he would demand a rad
ical revision of the tariff, must be
taken into consideration by all inter.
ested in the future welfare of the
country. A radical change from ex-
listing conditions would result in bust
ness depression which would strike the
commercial, industrial and agricul-
tural interests of the country a blow
from which only a change of admins
trations would bring relief The farm
ers and business men of Nebraska have
not yet forgotten the blight which the
Democratic party brought upon the
country during the dark days when
Mr.. Bryan was the leading advocate
Of theoretical ideas with which he de-
sired to experiment. The good sense
of the American people defeated Mr..
Bryan twelve years ago, and will de-
feat him for the third time next No
vember. The people of this country
demand a safe and sane executive
one who has made good in whatever
position of trust and responsibility he
has been placed, and whose splendid
record is guarantee that he will con-
tinue the Roosevelt policies demanded
by the people. The country wants a
man who is patriotic enough to con-
tinue the work of strengthening the
general government commenced by
Abraham Lincoln nearly half cen.
tury ago, while at the same time rec
ognizing the rights of the states and
treating them justly and fairly. The
elevation of Mr.. Bryan to the presi-
dency would be a public calamity
which would turn back the dial of
time and enshroud the country in
gloom.

'The courts of justice are the bull
works Of our Liberties" is the way the
injunction plank in the Denver plat
form reads, and then the plank pro-
ceeds to insult the courts and the in
telligence of the American people.
The plank may succeed in securing a
few labor votes, but the vast majority
of the American people are not yet
ready to destroy the power Of the
judiciary in order to boost an agitator
into the presidential chair.

settled by vote of the people, then in
all fairness vote for should count just
as much as q vote against. While the
majority is not always right, it is much
safer to trust then the minority as Q
general proposition. We would inform
the editor of the Record that he has not
been mistaken in considering US
strong temperance man." We demand
of others only what We are willing to
concede. If bill giving the saloons an
unfair advantage were to be introduced
in the legislature. the Record would de-
nounce its unfairness, but thinks it all
right when the advantage is on the other
side. Such . policy will never gain
friends and can never succeed"

HUMANITY Now LONGER LIVED.
Statistics Do Not Bear Out Statement
That Man 10 Deteriorating.

A German scientist, Dr. Emil Konig,
has lately undertaken to prove that
In highly civilized countries man has
abused his constitutional strength,
and consequently is more susceptible
to disease than he was In earlier
times. There Is obviously something
to be said for this averment. but. con-
sidered as q whole. the facts do not
bear 1t out. ..
1t is unQuestionably true that a.
civilization advances human life be-
comes more complex, and the pres
sure upon . mans physical resources
tends to become more intense. II 10
also true that certain forms of disease,
such. for instance. as cancer and heart
weakness. appear to be more preva-
lent than they were q century ago
we say appear" because only In
comparatively recent period have the
statistics of mortality and its causes
been Trustworthy and exhaustive.
The Official records of Geneva. which
have been kept carefully for q long
period. prove that the average dura-
ton Of human life is materially great
or than 1t was $50 or 100 years ago.
Not only the average length Of human
existence, but the retention of physical
and intellectual vigor. or what is
called the prime of life. tends to be
prolonged. The age limit of useful
ness has in practice been pushed for
ward.
The fruitful activity Of men over 90.
and even 20. years of age II q phe-
nomenon far more frequently observed
to-day than 1t was 100 years ago. Ma
pOleOn's career was over at IS; Won
Moltke's can scarcely be said to have
begun. 20 far a. great achievements
were concerned, till he was nearly 20.
What Is true of war is true Of diplo-
macy, of law. Of medicine. Of every
field Of work In which mental and
physical energy is indispensable.
When, in Q word. We examine impair
TALLY all the data. weighing accurate
~ all the evidence pro and con. We
seem justified in taking an optimistic
rather than DR.. Konig's pessimistic
view of the effect of civilization on the
bodily well-being and longevity OF
man.

COUNTY OPTION.

Two years ago next January, when
the legislature assembled, Thomas
Darnell, attorney for the State TEN
perance League, drew up a bill, and
had it introduced, providing for coun.
ty option. The bill was defeated.
Since that time the League has been
making a campaign to awaken interest
on the county option question, and a
number of Republican papers advocate
making the question of county option
a partisan issue. Some of the county
optionists have even gone so far As to
serve notice that they will not vote for
any candidate on the Republican leg
islative ticket who will not pledge
himself to vote for the county option
measure.
The temperance question is not
partisan measure. A voter can still
be temperate man and consistently
oppose the county option bill. The
measure the county optionists demand
is One.sided affair, and is really not
a local option measure in the true
meaning of the term. 1t gives the
voters an opportunity to vote on the
question of licensing saloons, and if a
majority of the votes cast are against
license, that settles the question-a
license shall not be granted. But if a
majority of the ballots cast are in favor
of licensing saloons, it would be fair,
then, in that case, for the Temperance
advocates to abide by the result. The
bill, however, provides for overriding
the will of the voters, and the granting
of licenses is optional with the village
board and city council. The Central
City Record is of the opinion that the
local option measure is a good one,
even if it does give the Temperance
people an advantage over the saloon
men," The stand taken by the Record
has called forth protest from Editor
Ladd of the Albion News. The
News says:
IF the cause Of temperance cannot be
promoted by fair, open-snd- sbove-b board
methods, it does not deserve to succeed.
This is true Of all things. We have con-
fldence in the people who compose this
and believe that the
should rule. II the majority
does not at all times agree With our
ideas, We do not despair or feel justified
in resorting to unfair methods. The
cause, like all moral ones,
must advance by degrees and . steady |
growth. 1t has been going forward at |
, rapid rate of late years, but it will be
, long time before it reaches the stage /
We would like to see. Every cause has
