The democrats and "pups" have established headquarters in the Uniggeman & Steinway block and W ( J. Taylor , who is out for congrcsslon nl honors from the blgi Sixth on both tickets , is making this his official resting place. Judge Dean lias hand cd in his declination and sent out letters to party friends explaining that there is now no reason why they should not work for Mr. Taylor and help boost him into congress. Har mony has apparently been restored in camp. According to a political prophet on the State Journal , Tay lor's chnncps for a seat at Wash ington are not as bright as they might be and he explains why , in part , as follows : "Klnkaid's elec tion seems assured If outward signs count for anything. Taylor has star ed out heroically to cover the dis trict ; but he has few acquaintances compared with his adversary. The democrats are not very enthusiastic because lie is a populist , and especi ally among the wets , who resent populist disaffection against Dahl- man , there is antagonism and apath ; Taylor has challenged Kinkald for a joint debate , but it is unlikely he will he accommodated. Kinkaid has a reputation as a vote-getter through the hand-shaking route. Whenever ho arrives in town , while out cam- Puignlng , he docs not hie himself tea ( a hotel where the elect may call on him in seclusion. He goes out among - mong the voters , many of whom he knows by sight. If he doesn't know the voter's name ho speedily learns it by skillfully leading up the con versation. He finds out what each is interested in or wants , and his suavity , and good humor disarms the fiercest critic. " , 4 Two Hills and Two IMtes. j 13111" Wolf'who at one time "skip pered" a lodging house and "quick service" food dispensary in town , is in other climes quietly waiting until the clouds roll by so tnat he may again mingle as a free citizen with the residents of Custer county. During the fair at Callaway last Thursday , it appears that the con duct of Bill Sailing , a resident of that place did not meet witli the full approval of Mr. Wolf and he becaino quite peevish over it. One thing led to another and , finally , instead of blows , it came to bites. A by stander , who witnessed the exchange of courtesies from a safe vantage , says that Wolf grabbed Sailing and bit two pieces of flesh from his neck as clean as a knife would cut. Wolf boarded the Broken Bow stage at a considerable distance from town the next day but disembarked before it arrived here. A warrant Is out for his arrest but up to the present time he had made himself particularly scarce. Sailing , it is said , was not seriously injured. Congressman Ivinknid's Dates. Congressman M. P.

Moses , was to have had a hearing last Friday ; but instead of U'ut , 'a continuance was asked for In county court and grant ed. J/udgo Holcomb sot October 20 for tho. preliminary hearing and fix ed the bonds at $500. Todd Christ opherson the boy's father and Judge Homer Sullivan , who Is employed on the defense , stood good for the amount - mount which was accepted by both the court and the county attorney. Shortly after the continuance was granted the boy and his father stag ed for Callaway , where it Is said he will remain until the hearing conies up. On the same morning , and not long after the bonds had been fixed , D. 1 < 3. Moses njid Sam Sterner , husband and brother of the dead woman came to town with the inten tion of appearing at the preliminary. When ho found the boy was already out on bonds and had left town , Mr. Moses was much dissatisfied and earnestly protested against the | amount fixed in the bonds , to the County attorney and to Judge Hol comb and asked that the sum might bo i-i Iscd in order to insure the de fendant's appearance at the specified time. Mr. Onihl and theJudge ex plained that $500 was considered an ample sum under t4io circumstances and thought it best not to Increase It. Mr. Moses says lie intends to push the ca-se and will employ legal counsel to assist the county attorney' ' in the prosecution. Sam Sterner , the brother who pur chased the tartar emetic instead of cream of tartar from Cliristophcrson , when questioned in regard to the affair replied that ho did not career or want to talk for publication , but would say that lie had never heard of tartar cmetlcheforc his sister swallowed the fatal drug by mistake and that young Christophorson's statements to the newspapers as toi how the poison came to bo sold , were ] entirely wrong.

Hum phrey , chairman of the central County Committee , shows the polit ical situation in the county to particularly encouraging. Ho says things are first class for an Aldrlch victory at the coming election and that politics will cut little Ice , be- eaiiso the issue will bo between right and wrong , and right will \\lii out , hands down.

One homesteader in town Wednes day , said there wore twelve demo crats living in his vicinity who in tended casting their votes for Kin kald and were actually boosting him as their candidate. Xearly An Aeeldentr An unknown small boy adout 7 or 8 years of age camonear meeting death in a most horrible manner late one afternoon of thlsweok. A freigh train going east had just pulled out of the yards and the doy was seen clinging to the side of one of the dox cars. As the train ncared the fair grounds the speed increas ed and the youngster in attempting to make a safe landing slipped and apparently fell under the moving car However , before a distant observer could go to thto rescue ho was seen to roll swiftly down the embank ment and disappear in the weeds. After the lapse of a few seconds the small traveler emerged from ills place of involuntary concealment drushed off his clothes with his ham and started back toward town as though nothing had happci cd. As it was growing dark and clo ids wore flying those who witnessed the es capade couldnot identify tin little fol low and ho was up and awi y before one could cross several biM'b wire fdnces and get to him. Ho > vas very small wore a white shirt \\aist and dark cap. Parents havlngll tic boys answering to this description would do well lo sec that they do not get. too near moving trains because their offspring may hetliat qoj'ticu- lar youngster who camenc r being run over. Jumping on railroad trai either moving or stationary is a bad habit for small boys and if followed up will only result in a bad accident sooner or later. .OHTKKLA NKWS.

Well Now , Wkat Do You TKink of IT ? lint IT A Dream ? Tlio Proposed Division Lines Wo present to the readers of the Republican this a map of the now proposed division lines that have boon accpted by the county board. The map spooks for its self. They certainly cap the climax. The only surprise Is that , the author of such lines could find enough people in the county that would sign a peti tion calling an election on them. The Republican predicts that. no fair minded man who belelvcs in justlo or lias any pride in his county will support the proposition on such Inles whether ho is in favor of county division or not. Valuation ol' Proposed Counties. At the request ofR. 13. Brcga and other dlvisionlsts , people in the of fice of the county clerk have been estimating the value of the propos ed new counties with the following results ; Corn county , $1,030,370 ; Hose county $1,904,1527 ; Albany county , $1,149,704 ; Arbor county , $ .1,29990 ! | ; Custcr county , $1,938,3 These single estimates look like floe bites by the side of the grand total of good old Custer as sheIs today. Should Certify At Once. Kvory township commlttccman in the county , who lias not done so , should at once call a caucus for the nomination of township officers and send a certified list to the county clerk's office. County clerk Oborno complains that nearly half of the townships have as yet not certified. South OnuihaoLIvo Stock Market. Special Iteport So. Omaha , Nob. , Sept 28 , 1910.
