by all means go to the Opera House

And you will be a willing captive,

or the black dwarf races of whom his

truding mouths, sloping foreheads and

perfectly proportioned and shaped.

McNish's Protest.
Mr.. McNish says:
Judging from the purported inter-
view. which Mr. Reed gave out in Hn-
coin. II would seem that he now con-
strues the primary law I'm a different
light, regardless OF the fact that he has
filed an acceptance as a democrat, and
It would seem he anticipated that he
would slip in as a republican candidate
without filing an acceptance. 1 no not
believe the voters OF Nebraska will look
with favor on such politics and mode
Of procedure in holding office. Mr.. Reed
undoubtedly sees the writing on the
wall which appears to be a sweeping re-
publican victory"
