4 \ r | GLOOM OVER ALL IN DEMOS' GAMP Efforts to Appear Satisfied With Political Conventions Are Pal- pably of Little Avail. - REPUBLICANS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC (From a Statf Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb., June 18.—(Special.) —Efforts of local democrats to ap- pear as if they were perfectly satis- fied with the political situation, now that the conventions have performed their work, is hilariously amusing and so -palpable is their discourage- ment that even a blind man can dis- cover the predicament they find themselves in. Republicans everywhere and some democrats, too, are enthusiastic for Mr. Hughes for the presidency and the fact that the only criticism the copposition make is that he had no right to leave the supreme bench to become a candidate for the presi- dency, is not going to get very far. Plenty of Red Blood. Every red-blooded American citi- zen believes it is the greatest honor that can come to him to be made president of his country and the fact that Judge Hughes has shown that he has plenty of the true American red blood, is making him many friends among the opposition. That Nebraska has a good chance to clean the slate and elect a sena- ator and six congressmen and a full state ticket from governor down with both branches of the legislature re- publican is made plain by the gam- hlet issued by Secretary of State ool a few days ago giving the vote of each county in the late, primary on the most important offices. The record shows that in the entire state the republicans cast 15866 votes more than did the democrats and for that matter 13,477 more votes than all the opposition parties combined. Going a little further through the record it discloses that the republi- cans cast more votes in sixty-one counties than did the democrats, ex- act figures being, republicans, sixty- one; democrats, thirty, and two coun- ties a tie, What Vote Indicates. Going just a little further through the record it is disclosed that of the twenty-eight senatorial districts in the state, nineteen of them cast a larger republican vote than they did democrat and these nineteen districts elect twenty-four of the thirty-three members of the state senate. The other nine districts elect exactly nine senators. If the vote at the primary indi- cates anything at all, and it would seem that it would be just as fair one way as the other, there is no rea- son whatever why Nebraska should not elect an entire state ticket re- publican and a legislature strongly republican in both branches. ‘Hotel at Weeping Water Is Destroyed Weeping Water, Neb., June 18— (Special)—Fire of unknown origin de- stroyed the Gibbon Hotel at 5 oclock this mornin? the building was a three story frame built at a cost of $8000.

PAY HIGH PREMIUM FOR DRAINAGE BONDS Tekamah, Neb., June 17.—(Special.) —This afternoon at auction the Burt- Washington Drainage district dis- posed of bonds amounting to $330,000.

SUDAYN BASE BALL WINS IN PAWNEE COUNTY Table Rock, Neb., June 18.—(Spe- cial.)—The matter of playing base ball on Sunday in Pawnee county, outside of the cities and villages, came up for hearing before the Board of County Commissioners at its re- cent meeting.

No less remarkable is the cause which, he adds, “is not unlikely due to re-- moving from our diet those elements of cereal food which Nature has hid in the husk of the grain, and which man in his ignorance discards.” The elements to which he refers are the well-known mineral salts of phos- phorus, lime, iron, etc., removed in milling flour to make it white, but which physi- cians know are indispensable to normal, well-balanced nerves, bodies and brains. Grape-Nuts —a wonderfully delicious food made from whole wheat and malted barley, retains the nutriment of the grains, including their Vital Mineral Elements Grape-Nuts food is easy to digest, highly nourishing, and comes rqady to eat from the sealed package, which preserves its oven-crispness and delightful flavor. A ration of this splendid food along with the ordinary dietary has put joy in life for thousands.

Patterson, on behalf of the Reai Estate exchange, has filed suit against the county commissioners, asking an injunction restraining them from selling the $1,500,000 bond issue passed at the primary election.
