nomination for the state senate from thu
counties of Cass and Otoe. This distric

Senator John Mates, democrat,
1t will not be necessary to build new
state house now. The state superin
tendent has relieved the people Of the
burden OF taxation which they feel the!
cannot take upon themselves and has re
sorted to the good old system Of stuffini
rags in the cracks through which tn
cold air and snow has been coming in.
Everybody took on the ragtime stun
and spent most OF yesterday in stuffinl
up the holes, so that the office Isl nov
ntcely decorated. There are red rags
blue rags. white rags and just rag rags
They don't haTmonize very much witt
the scintiIlafing rays which are cast on
from the several bald heads in tho office
but they keep out some OF the cold an
give the thermometer on State Supertn
tendent Thomas desk a chance to get u
far enough to see over the zero mark oc
casionally.
