ftp-alar Railroad Man
Meets Tragic Death
A). Woods, the well known switch
man of the Burlington road working in
the yards in this city, met a horrible
death last Sunday morning at four
o'clock while at work at the stock yards
in tho west part of town, where the
switching crew was at work moving
cars that were being loaded with live
stock. The nature of tho accident
-was so severe that Mr. Woods died
within twenty minutes after the acci
dent. He was at work spotting cars
and went between the cars to make
coupling near the chute in which the
siock was being loaded in tho cars. It
is said that he gave the signal to go
ahead while in this position hut instead
of moving forward the cars were back
ed and Woods was caught and crushed.
His shoulder an arm and several ribs
were broken besides several other in
juries that were instrumental to his
death. Another report is given out
that Mr. Woods exercised too much
daring and in that way endangered his
safety at the time. However, it is for
those present at the time of his death
to determine the facts. The remains
were taken to Darling's undertaking
parlors, where they were prepared for
shipment to the homo of his parents at
Sargent, this state.
In the sudden and cruel death of Al.
Woods, the Burlington railroad has
lost one of its most efficient arid reli
able employes. Nino years of service
devoted to its welfare in this city as
switchman, is a record of faithful in
tegrity and conscientious application at
all times in his work. It is such men
8 Al Woods that railroad companies
and corporations employing men should
make A special pleasure to hold in
great respect and treat with utmost
fairness, ior they are to be depended
on at all times. Then, too, the city of
Alliance has lo3t one of its most re
spected citizens; one whose life has
been crushed out in the twinkle of an
$ye, just as he reached an age of man
bood when most interesting and help
ful. For nine years he had resided
here, and in alt that time he has so
conducted himself that he has not
only the friendship, but we may say,
the affections of his iellowtnen to that
degree, (hat on last Suuday morning
whea the news of his death was circu
lated, many of the boys on the road,
and hie Iriends in town were choked
iu tears. His death touched the tender
cord of the human heart, and his dear,
old parents, who came here to take the
mangled body home with them, may
rest assured that he lett behind, a life
of honor and clean manhood that will
live after him'and be a source of con
solation to them in their declining
days. Al. Woods must have had good
parents, for no boy could lead the life
be did without branching from such a
family tree.
In speaking of his political attitude,
we wish only to show his sincerity in
every phase of life. Mr. 'Woods was a
great admirer of W, I. Bryan, and be
ing a well read man, who devoted his
leisure time to reading, was familiar
-with economic questions in politics and
was firm in his opinion that the great
Commoner espoused the best principle
for the American people. Last Friday
he stepped into The Herald office and
laid down a contribution to the Bryan
campaign fund, stating that he wanted
to contribute his mite to the cause
which he said was dear to him. His
name is thus enrolled on the campaign
list and while his soul has entered the
realms of eternity, where we firmly be
Heve he has gained his eternal reward
of peace and happiness, his record
here is indelibly enscrolled with honor
in the hearts of his countrymen.
Al. Woods was born at Arlington,
Iowa in 1876, and came to Alliance
about nine years ago, where he has
since worked for the Burlington road,
with the exception of a short time,
when in company with Gene Sights,
he engaged in the confectionery busi
ness, purchased of Franklin Bros.,
located on Box Butte avenue. After
disposing ol this, he returned to his
labors ou the road.
Short funeral services neie held at
the Masonic lodge rooms, of which or
der he was a member, Monday night,
and the remains were taken Tuesday
morning to the home of his parents at
Sargent, where they were interred in
the family lot of tbe town cemetery,
yesterday afternoon.

Bogardus Makes
Some Hot Shots
C. A. Bogardus, the well known
crack shot of the World, who is an in
dependent manufacturer of gun car
tridges and the like at Springfield, Mo.,
wai in the city last Saturday, Monday
and Tuesday of this week looking after
business matters and incidentally do
ing a little public talking on political
subjects. He is an interesting orator
and in his own peculiar manner gains
tho interest of his audience which is
held for an hour or more wbilo be ex
plains the tariff and many other im
portant questions. Mr. Bogardus is
an admirer of Mr. Bryan as he says
"for tho principles he holds." Some
republican dared the speaker bring up
the subject of free silver in his speech
Tuesday night at the Crystal theatre.
Well, when Bogardus got through with
cashiers' checks and the panics that
occurred last fall and in previous years
under the gold standard, there was
little that his republican friend had to
say in reply. It was a complete anni
hilation of the gold standard theory.
The speaker referred to the commission
that was paid $50,000. (three men,) to
go to Europe in the interest of interna
tional bi-mctalism and who returned
empty-handed after spending that
amount of the American people's mon
ey. Speaking of the tariff, Mr. Bo
gardus termed it only the old story of
two parties. Wealth on the one side
and tho toiler on the other. He il
lustrated the case by reciting the steel
trust in which Andrew Carnegie, the
Fricks and others made enormous for
tunes by reason of the high tariff and
showed that of the army of toilers at
the Homestake mills, who have labor
ed there ever since Carnegie's time,
have hardly been able to hold the little
homes they bought near the factory.
Who got the benefit of all this toil?
The owners of the mills who formed
the trust that made them richer than
the rich.
Iowa Republican Wiultf Mt he
Surprised te see Taft Lose State
Albert Foster and young son, of
Chariton, Iowa, arrived in Alliance
yesterday and will spend a few days
looking over the country with a view
to buying land and taking up his resi
dence here. Concerning the political
outlook in Iowa this year, Mr. Foster
says he has always voted the republi
can ticket and expects to do so this
year. He says, however, that the
question of guarantee of bank deposits
is going to cut a big figure in Iowa in
the coming election and there seems to
be such a desire for a change that he
would not be surprised to see Bryan
carry the state.

For County Commissioner
1
The office of county commissioner is
an important one to the taxpayers and
the salary the office pays is a small
compensation for a man who has the
ability to fill the office. J, P. Jensen,
the present member of the board' from
the second district and candidate for
re-election, has made a splendid official.
displaying the same good judgment in
the affairs of the county that he always
has in his personal business, which has
made him one of the substantial farm
ers and stockmen of this county. Mr.
Jensen is a man of the strictest integri
ty, hardworking, is familiar with the
business of the county and it would be
unwise for the taxpayers to dispense
with the services of such a man. Pete
Jensen has always been found looking
after the taxpayers interests fearlessly
and conscientiously and they will show
their appreciation of his services at the
polls a week from next Tuesday.
Several republican papers aie sup
porting Fred Johanseu. the democratic

district. Johausen is the editor of the

reputation for being conscientious and
the backbone to stand up for what he

Geo. M. Adams' Statement
Crawford, Nebr., Oct. 15, 1908.
To all Voters of the Fourteenth Sena
torial District of Nebraska:
Having been nominated by the Dem
ocratic and People's Independent Par
ties for the honorable position of State
Senator for the Fourteenth district of
Nebraska, and believing that the voters
of this district should know before
election where their candidate stands
upon the most important issues involv
ed in this campaign, I submit the fol
lowing for your consideration:
1. 1 am in favor of a law that will
guarantee bank deposits, for the ab
solute security of the people's money,
to prevent panics and promote piosper
ity, and available to national as well as
state banks of this state wishing to
take advantage of the same.
2. I am in favor of the election of
precinct or township assessor's by the
direct vote of the people in the pre
cincts or townships in which they live.
3. I am against what I term the un
just action of the state board in arbi
trarily raising the valuation as returned
by the local and county assessors.
4. I believe in a state expeiimental
farm and ithat it should be located in
the northwestern part of the state, as
mentioned in the Democratic platform.
5. I favor a wide open primary elec
tion, where every voter will have an
opportunity of voting a secret ballot
and for whom he choses.
6. From a national standpoint, I am
in favor of every plank in the Demo
cratic platfoun that was adopted by
the Democratic party at its last na
tional convention held in Denver, Col.,
in July, 1908.
Having served in the last legislature
as the representative from the Fifty
third district, which is accredited with
being the most progressive legislature
that has assembled in Nebraska for
the last fourteen years, I believe that 1
am in a better position to know what
the people of iny part of the state want
and expect from their member if elected
to the office. Respectfully,
Gko. M. Aoams.

result of heavy losses Incurred, and! the

The depositors have no recourse or
