A MOMENT, SMOKERS
More Or Less Authentic Facts Are Put
Forward in This Story.

The users Of tobacco. 1t would ap
pear, are subject to undreamed-Of dan
gers. A French medical journal tells
an interesting tale of man who while
smoking pipe had serious fall
Some time later . curious swelling
appeared on his tongue, and this. after
efforts had been vainly made to ne
duce 1t by common methods, was
found to contain q fragment of the
pipe that had been driven into 1t at the
time of the fall. In another case an
ulcer on the soft palate of a patient
persisted for three years before 1t was
investigated and found to contain
piece of a cigar holder. How this lat
ter got there We are not informed, but
it appears certain that if these persons
had not been users Of tobacco they
would have escaped much discomfort
A word to the wise is suficient!-Ex

American Democracy.

Privy Councillor Zuntz, on his re-
turn to Berlin. after a three-mOnths
visit to the United States. delivered q
lecture before the students Of the In.
dustrial high school of that city, in
which he had much to say in praise Of
American students and of the college
system under which they were trained
Our Students" he said. can help
themselves financially only by teach,
ing. The American student has the
advantage in this respect, because
without losing caste or dignity, he can
break stone, act as a waiter or porter,
or do work at any trade. 1t is not an
infrequent occurrence that a youna
man acts as a waiter at gathering of
people where he is received as an
equal as soon as his mental duties
have been performed"

The tariff bill is now before the
lower branch of congress, and when
that body gets through With it the bill
will go to the senate and be referred
to the finance committee of which Sen.
ator Aldrich, Of Rhode Island, ID
chairman, and Senators Lodge and
Hale are members. Aldrich has
already told the president that the
senate will never agree to an inheri.
lance tax, and he no doubt knows
what he is talking about. New Eng.
land, New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania will practically control
tariff Legislation in the senate. With
Hale and Lodge and Aldrich repre-
senting the manufacturing interests.
and hostile to. an inheritance tax,
the country cannot expect any mate
rial reduction on eastern made goods.
With an inheritance tax it would be
possible to reduce the tariff tax and
still secure enough revenue to pay the
expenses of the government. What
ever Aldrich says goes. He is in
command. He Is the car that will
dictate and crush al opposition to true
tariff reform.

Z That's . dirty insinuation! That's
. deceisfnl liei You've been dirty in
everything" shrieked Representative
Shoemaker to Representative Taylor.
And then Taylor rashed up and
knocked Shoemaker down. No, the
scrap did not take place in asaloon,
but in the hall Of the house Of repre-
sentatives ct Lincoln. The language
of the Bowery and the argument Of the
bruiser are the weapons used BY our
democratic friends in their enthusiasm
to "carry ont" campaign promises.
This little misunderstanding between
the gentleman from Douglas and the
gentleman from Custer grew out Of the
discussion of Taylors bill allowing
women to vote At municipal elections.
Shoemaker was opposed to the meas
ure, which 'riled the Custer county
Statesman and he made . coarse re.
mark rejecting upon the good name
Of the representative from Douglas, to
which Shoemaker responded in the
language quoted above. Both Shoe
maker and Taylor are fair representa-
tives of the majority party in the leg
islature-the party that promised
everything and has accomplished prac-
tically nothing; the party whose leader
claimed for it al the political moral
ity, wisdom, intelligence and true pat
riotism in Nebraska; the party that
never welded power without abusing
it; the party Of opposition, obstruction
and destruction; the party Of exploded
theories and inflated ideas; the party
that has never redeemed . pledge or
acted in harmony except for pelf,
plumber and pap. This has been the
record of the democratic party of Ne
braska dominated Is it is BY Organism
and tinctured with socialism. The
majority party of the present legisla-
ture is made up of men far below the
average citizen intellectually, morally
and socially. Some Of them are mere
accidents" politically speaking, who
owe their elevation to positions Of
trust and responsibility to the popu-
larity of Governor Shallenberger who
pulled them through" on election
day. Among such q class of men
harmonious and intelligent action for
the common good Of the people of the
state is impossible. The only meas
ures upon which the members of the
dominant party have united has been
for the purpose of creating official
positions for the hungry horde sur
rounding the state house and bowling
for "pie." It will be . relief to the
tax payers when the mob quits rioting.

An attempt will be made to
reach an understanding with Off
cial of the Milwaukee railroad, if
the Company decides to dram the
lake thru which their tracks run,
to drain the foul waters of the
Objectionable pond into this lake.
The two bodies of water are only
two blocks apart and it would be
an easy matter for Lesterville if it
could secure consent of the rail
road Company. The Milwaukee
railroad must certainly do some
thing for the track at Lesterville
as the grade is constantly being
undermined. Mostlikely the Com
pany will empty this lake into the
