A Magnificent Republican victory.

A Magnificent Republican Victory.
The result locally IN Douglas
county is a magnificent republican
victory, with every candidate on the
county ticket but one winning by
handsome majorities, and with
similar nRjorities given to the en-
tire state republican ticket. The loss
OF Hoye for sheriff is naturally to be
regretted by republicans, who would
have preferred to see a clean sweep,
but Il is a small measure Of comfort
to our democratic friends, over which
they are entitled TO crow az loudly
as they feel like doing in the midst
Of their shroud OF gloom. What beat
Hoye was evidently no one thing,
but combination OF factors that
made him the sole victim OF what
ever discomfort and dissatisfaction
permeated republican lines. Hoye Is
a sacrifice to the success Of his as
sociates on the ticket His opponent,
Phil" Meshane, to whom we extend
congratulations, owes bis election TO
the enthusiastic devotion Of a per-
sonal following of his young friends
and TO the votes Of disaffected repub-
licanB.
The people OF Douglas county are
to be felicitated on the assurance
that county affairs are to be for the
next two years in the hands of capa-
BILE republican officers. With Robert
Smith in the district clerks ONCE,
Bryce Crawford as county Judge,
Frank Dewey as county clerk, w. G.
Ure rs county treasurer, and the
other reelected ineumbents, to-
gether with a republican majority
In control OF the county board in
place OF the present democratic COM
bine, they may expect efficiency,
economy and square dealing in all
these Offices.
Incidentally, the people OF Omaha
are 70 be felicitated also on the cleo
ton as police Judge of a rising
young lawyer in the person of
Charles e, Foster, and the defeat for
the school board Of the one misfit
candidate who had secured nominal

EXODUS.

Time was when Mabel earned her salt
by writing letters from dictation;
she was prize stenographer
And felt that was her true vocation;
But when the Land show hit the town,
The boosters set her pulse a-flutter
And now she's living on a claim
And making pats OF yellow butter
There was a lass named Lucy Brown
At needle work spent all her vim;
She worked initials everywhere,
She worked until her sight grew dim;
But little Lucy drew a claim
And now her little nose Is tanned
For she Is busy driving nails
Into her shack In Rosebud land.
There was a teacher, Sally Smith,
Who labored long with John and Mary;
Her methods all were tried and true
She was fond OF her profession, very;
But she got nip ct the Land show
As she Wandered there about
And teachers chair Is empty row
She went by the Overland Route.
There was a dainty little bud
Ihat bloomed on the social tree,
on the tip top branch and AL avowed
She was fair as fair could be;
But the bud heard voice that THRILLED her

previous lack OF a realization Of the in

ably responsible for some Of the votes

Armed Guard In treasury.

A few days ago a visitor in the Treas
ury building who had paused 70 talk
with a friend was startled to see man
coming down tho corridor, wearing big
star on his breast and carrying a revolver
of huge dimensions. 1t was not strapped
In a holster, but was carried In the right
hand. as IL the bearer was ready to go
into action. The visitor asked with some
show OF alarm what It all meant, and was
told that one OF Secretary McVea's recent
orders was being carried out by watch
man. The secretary reached the conclu-
sion some time ago that the wstchmen

As the visitor watched the aged watch
mans subsequent movements, the pic
ture faded from the sinister to the ridlcu-
lous. He went to the end OF the corridor,
sat down at a desk, stuck his artillery
into one OF the pigeonholes and fell
asleep. Anybody who wanted to could

quay and the Indian.

One Of the last public acts Of Matthew
Stanley Quay, the Pennsylvania boss. was
to secure congressional recognition OF a
merciful service performed by some Sioux
Indians in the year 1868 on the Grand
river in Dakota. Quay, whatever else
may have been said about him, was a
firm friend OF the Indian. Some persons
thought that he had in him a strain Of
the blood OF the Delawares.
Quay secured congressional sanction for
bill to give 500 each TO seventeen In
dams who In the year and at the place
named braved the anger and the bullets
OF the rest Of their tribe by a successful
effort to save two white women and six
children from danger and death. The

was championed by Senator Quay are
