PERSONAL NOTES.

Nobody believes Mr.. Patten when the
speculator says he has closed his business
career, but he has managed to close the
business careers OF enough other people.
When you mop the water from your
brow and the gum from your hatband,
remember how, a few weeks ago you
sighed for the good old summertime"
The recollection is refreshing.
The West Point cadet who denied that he
was chewing gum, although caught with
the gum on him, was discharged for lying.
West Point is one place where lie
doesn't CO. If It is found out.
Joseph r. Meek, owner OF the Marysviilo
(Pa.) Comet, is a veteran of the printers
case. For Sc years he has been setting type,
and there is not a better known printer IN
that section of the country, Many of Har-
risburgs oldest compositors learned their
trade under Mr.. Meek.
Mrs. Gussie Ogden Drewitz, millionaire
suffragist, obtained a decree of divorce
in Cincinnati recently. She declared i'm
medately afterward that she would de-
vote her life and fortune from now on to
help women struggling to free themselves
from "misfit matrimonial Jokes with cruel
husbands"
The head Of San Fransico's police force
was suspended while being tried for lar
ceny. He was acquitted because a material
witness refused to testify, the witness 60
ing to Jail. Then the official sought re-
instatement, but Mayor MCCARTHY induced
him to resign, and in accepting the resiE-
nation termed him, premier among the
most responsible and esteemed business
men OF San Fransico." The premier Is
the keeper OF a tough saloon.

NEBRASKA PRESS COMMENT.

Nemaha Republican: The fact that Gov
ernor Shallenberger has refused 20 call an
extra session OF the legislature would In
dictate that he is really more Of a politician
than w. J. Bryan.
st. Paul Republican: II is being noted
that Governor Harmon OF Ohio refused 60
stand aside at the request of Bryan, but
went on and secured an endorsement from
his home state as a presidential candidate.
Shallenberger is said TO bo studying how
Harmon delivers this elusive curve, and
thinks he may try pitching a game him
self.
York News: Hon. Victor Wilson is doing
his utmost to make the liason between
democracy and decency real wedding, but
the party is far from ready to celebrate the
nuptials. Governor Shallenberger declared
they had 'joined hands," but the mystic
words were not spoken and so far It Is
only a fast and loose arrangement and no
doubt decency feels as though she had been
deceived by a mock ceremony.
Plattsmouth Journal Cdem).: There may
have been a great deal accomplished at
the Columbus meeting, and the same may
have been truly a harmonious affair, but
what hun Is us is how are we to harmon
ize the friends Of Mayor Dahlman and Gov
ernor Shallenberger after the primaries are
over. They both cannot be nominated, that
is sure, and no matter which one is the
standard bearer, there will be many sore
spots on the friends of the defeated can
didate to heal We were greatly in hopes
there would be but one Candidate for gov
ernor, and we would like to see every pos
sible effort put forth to secure the with
drawal of one or the other candidate and
thus be in shape to lead the democratic
party on to victory. But with heated con-
test before the primaries the result in
the end can be easily foretold.
scotts Bluff Republican: 1t seems that
certain republican (O papers are very much
exasperatoI over the fact that one w. J..
Bryan is liable to be a candidate on the
democratic primary ballot. OF course this
means the death knell of @. M. Hitchcock
and that Bryan will be the democratic
nominee. Why 1t would make much diff
ference to a republican who the democrats
put up is more than we can understand.
Mr.. Hitchcock's ideas are no more in ac-
cordance with republican ideas than are
those of Mr.. Bryan, and 1t would seem to
us that no matter which one Of them is
nominated the republicans of the state are
not for either OF them, and II It must be q
democrat, 1t might just as we'll be Bryan
as any In fact, IL Bryan should run, 1t
will be square test as to whether the state

be the republican nominee and will be the
choice of the republican majority and II

opponent is. 1t may just as we'll be Bryan

to Grand Island and demand the &C

College Foot Ball.

President David Starr Jordan of Le-
land Stanford university is an ag-
gressIve man, but he mas seldom been
more forcible in public utterance than
In his address before the National
Council of Education of the Ma
tionAl Educational association de-
nounclng college foot ball as COM
binatioh of brutality and pugilism. a
sport that destroys the best there is In
the American youth.
However much some people may
differ with DR.. Jordan, those who APP
preciate his high position in the world
Of thought cannot fail to heed what
he says. Perhaps 1t is necessary in
this case to magnify the real evil in
order to arouse public sentiment to
the pitch of action. 1t is not worth
while to challenge DR.. Jordan's posi-
ton because all admit that foot ball
as played in American colleges is sus-
ceptible to improvement and that the
best interests of the college and itl
students demand an improvement
Whether 1t destroys the best there is
in young manhood or not, 1t certainly
impairs the usefulness of too many
young men, to say nothing of the fear,
full scholastic loss it produces.
Foot ball devotees have little ground
for complaint at such radical opposi
ton as that of the California edu
Gator. They have been pleaded with
to take their game in their own hands
and bring It dcwn to a more human,
system and they have neglected to d.
this. It was not reasonable to sup
pose that the steadily growing demand
for reform in foot ball should come Il
nausht. nor that it could be placatet
with a sham reform. The opposition
has now evidently come near to crys
talking, or we would not have sucl
virulent attacks from men of DR.
Jordan's stamp.

is the new reading connected with the at
fair at Reno. Times have changed since a
noted pugilist said that fighting in the ring
was all right for the gnEn who won, but
the man who lost was left on the ground
for the hogs to eat him." No longer ago
than when Boston's favorite son was put
to sleep by the nimble Mr.. Corbett the
fallen champion at length opened his eyes
to ask Am licked?" and to realize that
the star of destiny that had long twinkled
ahead had set. But at Reno the loser gets
nearly 100000 as his share, which would
justify the remark when he regained con-
seriousness. Where is the treasurer" An
average worker would regard something
less than 100000 as enough to retire on,
but prize fighters. like many others used

F. w. Wedge, third rate pugilist
who used to be in Omaha, was arrested
in San Francisco Just after conducting
a religious service the other night and

Get After Exnress Comnanies.

AS soon as the new railroad law be-
comes effective next month, the IntGv-
state Commerce Commission will have
undisputed jurisdiction over express
companies, for it's authority has been
clearly defined. There being no fur
ther question on this point then people
will welcome a test of the commits
sion's power to bring these corpora
lions to something like reasonable
recognition of their duties as common
carriers. Nobody who has ever dealt
much with them can help but be con-
vineed of the need for curbing their
arbitrary exactions, just as promptly as
possible.
Originally organized by the railroads,
these express companies have in many
cases become parasites on the rail-
roads and they have been imposing on
railroad stockholders as we'll as on the
shippers. They are and ought to be
subject to the same control and regu-
lation as the railroads, for to all prac-
tical purposes they are equally COM
mon carriers. 1t was with this pur-
pose in view that congress vested in
the commission authority over the ex-
press corporations. The express COM
panies have made a desperate effort
to hide their huge earnings behind the
veil of watered stock, but they have
not succeeded in fooIing anyone;
rather they have helped the people the
better to see the need of prompt and
thorough action and now that the bal
has been set rolling. it is highly prob,
able the results will come.

Abraham Lincoln signed an act to admit
the territory of Nevada as state, when
he RETAINED from denying that the populas
ton was inadequate and the character Of
1t abominable. He desired, however, to OBJ
tain one more state to secure the adoption
of the thirteenth amendment to the con-
stitution, and he naively remarked in a
letter, Il hope the act will be forgiven when
the motive and the reason are understood"

know that Reno will not be entirely
lost in the years to come.

She wears a saucy hat
And her feet go pit-a-pat

From her saucy little lips
When she talks.

With her CATERS trim and neat
Made of kid; -ue
For they twinkle as they pass
Like the rillets in the grass,
Halfway hid.
Her skin is soft and white,
Lige magnolia buds at night
On the bough;
But for fear she'd be too fair
There's a freckle here and there
On her brow.
Dimples play at hide and seek
On her apple blossom cheek,
And her chin,
