Business Is Chief Concern in

Successful Year Is Seen

Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Kearney. Neb.. May 24.-No political
spelbinder could draw the crowds
that greet the Omaha trade excursion
on its way through Nebraska. One,
who was out in the state during the
late political campaign, cannot but be
struck with the fact that the people
put greater enthusiasm into business
than politics.
The job of making living is the
chief concern of almost every man,
and when any group such as the
farmers plunge into politics, it is
largely a business matter with them.
Certain things. however, cannot be
done by political action. No one will
assert, for instance. that crops grow
better under one administration than
another And it is on the product of
the fields and pastures that the pros
perity of Nebraska depends. Further.
more. full employment I'm the cities
of this and other states is necessary
il farmers are TO receive an adequate
profit from their output.
The general rains of the last week
have set the stage for a good year
in Nebraska. The damage wrought
by the dry winter and the late frost
is being repaired by rcplanting, and
a feeling Of optimism exists. II is
best. however. not to exaggerafe the
promise of the future. Speaking gen.
orally. a successful crop this year
means that the farmers viii be en-
abled to meet the interest on their
debts. IL will require one or two
more good years TO produce gen.
eral paying off of obligations.
II is on this goal. and not on any
question of political nature. that
the people Of western Nebraska have
set their eyes. There is, 1t is true.
a prevalent idea that the western
part of she state should assert itself
more politically. perhaps, by furniSiI
ing the next governor-but even that
is Il business matter. due to the feel.
ing that greater understanding OF the
needs of this section is necessary. or
course. none of the business men on
this trade excursion attempts 10 talk
politics with his customers. Some Of
these customers are political figures.

Interested In Farming.

Asked by the newspaper men about
the political situation, he replied that
politics was dead.
A freight train carrying 20 cars of
cattle TO market at South Omaha
whistled by. That was deemed more
than politics.

Mathers, speaker Of the house. stood
in his bank and discussed earnestly

&c ADZOOKS !"

The heroes Of the OIden time were very,
very brave;
They'd rOllick through a rolling rhyme
OF pertls on the wave;
They used to wade through lakes of
blood, according to the books,
And when one stuck fast in the mud,
he'd only say "GadzOOksw
Whene'er q knight would save a girl
from danger or disgrace,
His brain would cOnvOlute and whIrl
on gazing at her face;
He'd thank his everlasting stars he'd
killed those measly crooks,
And then he'd whisper to himself
that trusty word "GadzOOks!'
One night Sir Reginald de Bunk had
been out with the boys,
And coming in. fell DER a trunk, with
quite a little noise;
He qnickIy took his armOr off. and
hung It on the hooks,
But when his wife began to cough,
he murmured, "Oh, GadzOOksw
Lord ROastingham fixed up a plot to
sIay cruel king,
But in his hurry he forgot and lost
his Slgnet ring;
They led him to an awful death. that
bunch Of royal cooks,
but with his final dying breath, he
just remarked "GadzOOksv'
Oh, it would be SO truly nice, If in
this modern day,
Whenever we have not the price
wherewith our bills to pay,
To keep our temper bottled uD. with
happy smiling looks,
Kick not around the family pup, but
merely say "GadxOOks!''

WOMAN WON'T PROSECUTE
IEGRO FINEDAND RELEASED

Louis HALLS, colored, who told
Judge Hardison in Police Court to-
day that he had no idea he had
seized some ones wife until the
policeman told him so this morn
ing, was fined $35, for being drunk
and disorderly.
According to the testimony Of the
policeman, as HALLS staggered along
Ninth street last night, his arms
strayed around the waist Of a
white woman who was walking
with her husband. Her refusal to
prosecute him for assault caused
the policemen to place charge Of
disOPlerly conduct against the
negro, 1t was said.

POOR WILLIAM SMITH.

The Capital IL very gay; this
weather causes cheer; the good
old sun has now begun to bring
it's magic here. But somewhere
there's q heavy heart, beneath q.
tAttered shirt; this r. no myth, for
Billy Smith Is feeling very hurt.
His mind turns back to ancient
days when his shirts were in style,
but now this guy has failed to
buy the shirts he thinks worth
while. His lone shirt now looks
very sad each time it's laundri-
fled; the attached cuffs receive
Pebuffs that mako Bill fuFified.
He's rOamed around the east and
west, his search was all in vain;
it Is no use, mono can produce his
favored shirt again. So kindly
merchants pay him heed, and
listen to his pleas, try to obtain
those shirts again that will put
Bill at case. Lou DOugher will
describe the shirt that Colonel
Smith likes best. SO try to find
the shape and kind so that poor
Bill can rest.
