The president will start for California,according to the present program, onApril 30. He will proceed up the coastprobably as far as Washington, and willreturn through the northern Rockymountain states.

The Seward Blade remarks: "If thefacta in the senatorial fight at Lincoln,including all the promises made, thecombines and trades effected or attemp-tedin abort all the inside history of thestraggle could be published, it wouldmake very interesting reading and great-ly surprise everybody."

Senator Tom Carter of Montana hashad a varied experience in life since hewas a book agent, traveling around inBart county, taking orders for histories,et cetera; but doubtless he will be beetknown to history as the man who at theclosing hours of a session talked all theremaining time in order to prevent thepassage of a stupendous appropriation offifty millions of dollars for rivers andharbors, a bill that usually contains thetrades and deals of all the session, andwhich, on the surface is seemingly justand fair.

Under this heading we purpose giving,

from week to week, such information andspeculation as may be of current inter-

est Ed. Journal.The deadlocks in the election of United

States senators convince the peoplegenerally that there is but one way toelect United States senators and that isby popular vote. Merit wins then. Intheir state conventions the people would

select the best man for the place and

elect him. Blair Pilot

A wise newspaper correspondent atLincoln asserts that it is only throughan alliance with the fnsionists that twosenators will be elected. The Hub doesnot believe it It is not ready to admitthat the republican members of the Ne-

braska legislature have gone daft entire-

ly and that any considerable number ofthem will enter into such an alliance.The temper of the republicans will nottolerate a failure to elect two republi- -

cans.- - Kearney Hub.

Every republican has his first personalchoice of the men whom he would like tosee elected senators for Nebraska, butevery one cannot get his first personalchoice, and most of us are reaching thepoint where we will be satisfied withalmost anybody, just so senators arechosen. If there has ever been goodground for the election of senators by adirect vote vote of the people the actionof the present legislature is furnishingplenty of good evidence in faror of it

AnRAHAM Peters with his wife andtwo children was driving home in hisbuggy, and seeing a rabbit start np inthe road ahead of him, attempted toshoot it with a revolver. The report ofthe pistol scared the team which curvedround toward the buggy, threateningdestruction. Mr. Peters hurriedly putthe pistol into his overcoat pocket, han-

dle down. The weapon was discharged,the ball going through a heavy fur coat,a heavy jacket, sweater and undershirtentering the right side between the firstand second ribs. Mrs. Peters had todrive the team four miles. At lastaccount the patient was improving, butthe bullet had not been found. This isthe substance of an incident related bythe York Republican.

THE PEOPLE OF COLUMBUSAND VICINITY will be pleased toknow that the well-know- n European EyeSpecialist Dr. N. Newman, formerly ofMinneapolis, Minn., has decided to locatepermanently in Columbus. The Doctoris a specialist in the fitting of glasses,and confines his work to this one branch.He has graduated from the beet

schools of this countryandpreviously took a two-ye- ar course inEurope. Thoughtful people are everyday showing their appreciation of thespecialist who devotes his time andstudy to acquiring knowledge of the eyesand individual eyesight peculiarities.Shopkeepers and merchants, who sellglasses, are fast falling into disreputebecause people of the present day do notcare to trust their eyes to their own orunskilled and hap-haza- rd fitting.

contest preliminary to that given atNorfolk, was held as per program at theopera house Monday night

The music under the direction of Prof,Garlicha, added very considerably to thepleasure of the occasion. Miss Watkina'pupils sang two pieces that were wellreceived, appreciated as coming fromthe little folks, among whom were somevery excellent voices. The piano duetby Misses Grace and Myrtle Hoffmanwas highly appreciated. The vocal soloby Miss Lottie Hockenberger showedevidence of the culture of a naturallysweet voice. The piano solo by MissEthel Henrich waa in her usual style,clear and strong. The work of the Highschool orchestra waa fully up to its highstandard, and the audience were delighted with efforts of all to please theirhearers.

As to the remainder of the program,the speakers all did very well; somewere not so judicious as others in theselection of pieces adapted to their pecu-liar talents, but all had very evidentlystudied their pieces, and had a goodconception of their inner meaning, forlanguage and gesture combined are butanother sort of music expressive of se-ntimenta living, moving picture repre-sentative of inner forces.

What Judge Slabaugh saidto a jury the other day in a case in con-troversy may be helpful to some Joornaijreader: "If a man suffers an injury thathe could have avoided by the exercise ofprudence he cannot recover damages forthat injury. If yon rent a house andfind that the furnace is out of repair it isyour duty to get it fixed, and if it's sobad that it can't be repaired, throw itout and put in a new one, charging npthe cost to the owner who has contractedto keep the house in proper shape.Don't let your family freeze and then goafter your landlord for damages. Inthis case it appears that the injury wasthe result of circumstances that couldhave been avoided by the tenant and Ishall therefore instruct the jury that heis entitled only to nominal damage,if any."

Strawberries are coming to the citymarkets today from Mississippi, Louisi-ann- a

press. Of course they have the "taste ofgold."

The way to get rid of perplexing in-

dividual problems is to look at them inthe light of the welfare of your neigh-bors as well as your own, and the way tosettle community differences is to viewthem in the light of the general welfare.Found your action upon the solid rockof general principles, rather than selfish-ness of any kind or degree. The Gol-den Bole is a good working principle,when properly applied. A very good il-

lustration of its working may be cited.Two brothers A and B, disputed as tothe division of their father's estate be-

tween them, and agreed to leave thedecision to a good and wise old neigh-bor, who had seen a great deal of theworld's strifes. His proposal was thatA, being the elder should properly makethe division (whereat A rejoiced exceed-ingly- ).

and that B should then take hischoice of the two parts.

Advertising, as the means of pros-perity, is not so well understood as itshould be. Nothing can take its place.It is a fact that no one who has adver-tised liberally and systematically has feltlike disputing that it was the best-spe- nt

money he put iuto his business. As ahorse was never.. made fat by a singlebushel of oats, so a single advertisementis never a perfect test of the benefits ofadvertising. The man with genuinewares to sell who advertised them in theright way without success would be acuriosity. Adapted from Kellogg.
