Prior to his departure for New castle Tuesday evening, Revi O'Toole was tendered a farewell re ception on the church grounds by the members of St. Patrick's church and Sunday-school. The program carried out by the children was both beautiful and affecting, and many present were moved to tears as they witnessed the genuine af fection shown by the child ren for their beloved pastor. Miss Regina McGovern made an interesting ad dress, followed by short addresses given in verse oy each of the fol lowing members of the Sunday school: Oscar Smith, Ethel Done gan, Albert Schatz, Josie O'Hara, Frank Schatz, Annie Connor. Louis Tobir, Theresa Austin and May Harshman. After this Miss Nellie Lonergan made the follow ing address as she presented, on behalf of the children, the pastor with a beautiful fountain pen with handle of solid gold: . Reverend and Dear Pather: I have been chosen by the children to ask your accept ance of this slight token of their esteem and affection for vou. We as your pupils, and spiritual children, desire to show In some manner our appreciation of your fatherly kindness and "patience toward us during the "happy 3'ears while vou were with us. That uesire nnas out a leeom expression in mis memento, toward which each has added his mite, but let this token, however insignifi cant its value, coupled with our unbounded love, assure you that we are not ungrateful for what you have done for us. We know we can make no proper return for the aid and kindness vou have shown us. yet we offer j'ou this our little gift with our warmest -vvisnes ana neameic greeting ior your welfare. Faithfully and earnestly you nave labored with us, and we hope to do credit to your teachings. We hope that when the toils and cares of this life are o er that we may represent some bright jewel in vour crown of eternal glory. We have learned to look upon you as a friend and father, and in the 3Tears to corns when we shall apply your lessons of patience, kind ness, iortituae aim energy, in me real proD lems of life, the memory of your labors will not let ns forget the debt we owe you. In conclusion we ask that you will forgive our many offenses, both of omission and commission, towards you. Though our rela tions, you as spiritual father ana we as yqur children, must now be severed, we trust that this memento will bring only pleasant recol lections of your labors nere, and assure you that we one and all will hold you in fond remembrance. M. C- Harrington in behalf of the congregation then presented the beloved pastor with a purse of $73.00. The presentation speech made by Mr. Harrington was a very neat one, and was re sponded to by thercyerend .gen.tle man'wTth i'ernarks that gave evi dence of very much gratefulness for the token of esteem in which he was held by the parishioners.

NEVILLE FOE STJPEEME JUDGE, "William Neville, of this city, was rjomiflated for judge of the supreme Qourt by the populist convention at Hastings Wednesday. This is supposed to be the result of the po litical deal made between Holcomb. Green and Neville, whereby the trio were to assist each other in securing a nomination for there spective offices which they sought. The full particulars of this tripar tite deal is given as folllows by the Kearney Hub of Wednesday last: Judge Neville of North Platte' spent several days in Kearney this week closing up the political deal between himself and Judege Greene whereby Judge Greene is to assist Judge Neville to the populist nom ination for supreme judge and Judge Neville is to assist Judge Greene in return to the populist nomination to congress in the Sixth district. Governor Holcomb, who is a party to the transaction, could not be present, but lie had sanctioned in advance any adjust ment of the details of the political agreement that has been entered into by "three judges." It is understood that Holcomb and Greene were a trifle "leary" about incurring the hostility of T. Pulton Gantt, Judge Neville's fellow townsman.'and who is also a candi date for the populist nomination for congress, but Judge Neville reasoned that the combination was strong enough to ignore Gantt and fix up the spoils without regarding his interests or the possible result of his antagonism. In the same connection, it leaks out that the placing of the congress - 1 i! i f sionai convention at tjrawtorci was ingeniously arranged so that there would be a small attendance of delegates from ,the western part of the district, in the Platte valley, which is Mr. Gantt's stronghold, and iu this way it is intended to minimize the Gantt influence even though he should be so fortunate as to carry his own county or it should be deemed Advisable to let him have it rather than precipitate a fight. : It is one of the smoothest politi cal deals ever evolved iu these parts, and everyone knows that Holcomb, Neville and Greene are adepts in the art of; political mani pulation. These gentlemen have no usfe for Gantt.l .first for the reason that they haven't any "Christmas' gifts" to spare just now, and for the further reason that he-has an independent way of acting ahd thinking for himself. Gantt is dreadful in earnest about this congressional matter, and in asmuch as he has been a green backer, a grauger, an independent and a populist, ancl stood out in western Nebraska when he was almost alone, he is liable to make the combine a great deal of trouble. The Hub is interested in it only so far as it feels an interest in the under dog, a position in which Mr. Gantt apparently finds himself at the present time. MYRTLE NEWS. Mrs. H. Foster -of North Platte, visited relatives and old ac quaintances in this precinct re cently. Ed Wright is working in a hay camp on the bottoms. ' R. J.

One of -the oldest and largest man ufacturers of patent medicines in the United States "writes The Tri bune as follows: To protect our selve in time of panic and financial distress which- we regard as in evitable if the unexpected should happen in November we have de cided to add the following condition to all contracts made for advertis- ig: It is also agreed that should Free Silver Candidate Bryan be elected, this company has the priv ilege of cancelling this contract. Bryan will go to New York to be notified of his nomination by demo crats, to Baltimore to hear of his nomination by silverites, to to be told of his nomination by popu list, but he can stay at home in November and learn all about his defeat. Bryan's Chicago platform asserts that the present financial system has been a bar to the nation's pros perity, and caused all the hard times. What are the facts? Right after the war the statesmen in power began the work of rebuilding. The statistics show that in 1870 there was $1,700,0)0,000 invested in manufactures in the United States; in 1890 this sum had increased to $6,200,000,000. In 1870 the number of employes in these establishments was 2,000, 000;in 1890 it was 4.500.000 The amount of wages paid to these bread-winners in 1870 was $620,000 000, an average of $310 per annum pgr head; in 1890 it was $2,200,000.- uOO, an average of $489 per annum per head. The total value of man ufactured products in 1870 was $3, 400,000,000; in 1890 it was $9,000,000, 000. Dr. Sawyer; Dear Sir: Having used your Pas tilles, 1 can recommend them to the public. I have been attended by four different doctors, but one and a half boxes o your medicine has done me more good than all of them. Yours respect fuuy, Mrs. Maggie Johnson, Brouson, Branch county. Mich.

The entire money of the world of all kinds amounts to $11, 088,200,00. But the populists say what does that amount to? "make more!" And they want Bryan for president It cannot be possible that in the closing years of the nineteenth cen tury and in this great and free re public the people themselves will irritate the bad example set by the corrupt-potentates ot Europe, who have made their names forever odious in history by debasing the money of their subjects and robbing the industrious poor of the just re wards of their labor. The great est crime that could be committed asrainst the workingman in this country would be to confiscate his labor for the benefit of the employer by destroying the value of the money in which his wages are paid; but this irreparable wrong can never be perpetrated under our system of government unless the laboring man himself assists in forging his own chains.
