OUTING SHOES.
It long ngo seemed as though
shoes cuuld never be better and
never be cheaper , but they are
better now and cheaper now than
they ever were before. The great
every day favorite is our men's
and ladies' shoe. It is as much a
boon to the pocketboolc as it is to
the feet. It won't wear you out
to wear it out. You don't need to
take care of it ; it takes care of
itself. It will give you solid com
fort for the simple reason that a
better shoe for knockabout pur
poses has never bewi produced.
If prices never appealed to you
before , the price of this shoe will ,
for it costs only $2.50. It will
look nicer and wear longer than
any shoe on earth.
Tuesday's rain was a great boon to
all.

The bow has a groove

runs down inside the

firmly locking the
bow to the pendant ,

We suggest as a matter of much
importance to farmers the propriety of
exercising great care in turning cattle
into stalk fields , as the fodder and

hard by the late dry weather and we

stay in stalk fields but a very short
time at first till the stomach becomes
accustomed to the change , and the
animals should have water to drink
always at hand.

MATCHLESS ELOQUENCE.
Such Was Hon. John M. Thurs
ton's Effort at the Opera
House , Wednesday
Afternoon.
Immeasurably the most eloquent and
masterful and logical presentation of
Republicanism ever heard in our city
was that given by Hon. John M.
Thurston of Omaha in the opera house ,
Wednesday afternoon to a small , but
appreciative and enthusiastic audience.
Mr. Thurston certainly deserves the
title of "Nebraska's Peerless Orator. "
Besides he is a profound thinker and a
logical reasoner ; and his exposition of
Republican theory and practice as
touching those two paramount ques
tions finance and protection chal
lenged the boundless admiration of his
hearers , for its clearness , completeness
and unanswerableness.
Mr. Thurston is intensely American
and has a way of infusing a spirit of
patriotic sentiment unto his hearers
which is simply marvelous. His stal
wart and independent sort of republican
ism touched many a responsive chord ;
and every Republican who hears him
grow eloquent over the immortal his
tory of the party , its splendid achieve
ments in the past , and promises and
pledges of fidelity to the best , truest
and highest interests of this nation in
the future , goes away feeling that it
was good for him to have been there ,
and feeling proud to be a member of
such a grand party.

The initial appearance of the Boston
Comic Opera company in Andran's
great masterpiece , "The Mascot , " at
the Paddock opera house last night was
highly creditable to the company anc
stamps it as an organization of very su
perior merit. This house was comfort
ably filled though the audience was by
no means as large as the merits of the
company deserved , and especially in
view of the tact that it may now be
called a Beatrice institution in that it
is managed by Messrs.Osborn & Gravesj
the popular theatrical managers of this
city. Seldom has a Beatrice audience
listened to a better array of first-class
vocalists than is presented by the Bos
ton Comic Opera company. The Misses
Rinehart sisters have not only superb
voices but they too are actresses that
take high rank among the very best of
their-profession. Mr. F. A. Wade , as a
comedian and vocalist , is worthy of
special creditable mention. Mr. Louis
Carlberg , as Roco , the farmer , was
good and in connection with Mr. Wade
they make a lively comedy team. Mr.
E. L. Weston , the tenor , has a remark
ably fine voice and performed the part
of Pipe admirably. Miss Etta Merris ,
as Fiametta , shows dramatical talent
and looked handsome and winning as
the pettish daughter of Prince Lorenzo.
All are superior singers and with Miss
Dora Corcoran , Myrtle Yane , Harry
Davis and J. H. Ammons , each of
superior excellence as vocalists and
actors , the Boston Comic Opera Com
pany is indeed fortunate in its entire
aggregation of talent , and comprises
one of the strongest lyric , operatic and
dramatic organizations now before the
public. The performance was replete
with local hits and never has the Merry
Mascot been more heartily or enjoyably -
ably produced than it was at the Pad
dock last night. Beatrice Express. At

WHY HE SUPPORTS ANDREWS.
A Prominent Democrat Gives Rea
son for Opposing : McKeighan.
McCooK , NEB. , Oct. 11 , 1892. To
the Editor : While on my way to the
national encampment of old soldiers at
Washington city , I met a member of
The Journal staff and in conversation
with him , stated that I could not sup
port Mr. McKeighan and intended to
vote for Mr. Andrews for congress ; that
a large portion of the democrats in the
west end of the district woud do like
wise. This conversation found its way
into print in your paper , as I am in
formed.
On my return from tiie encampment
my attention was called to a vicious at
tack upon me by J. D. Calhoun in an
editorial in the Lincoln Herald , which
I find has been numerously copied into
all of the independent journals of the
Fifth congressional district. Among
other choice epithets , we find the fol
lowing :
"The democrat who could vote for
Andrews , knowing what he is , cannot
be compared to the mangiest cur without
serious and unjust derogation to the
character and standing of the unlucky
and unhappy dog , "
Having just returned from a glorious
encampment with the boys that with
me wore the blue , i would inquire what
right this ex-confederate soldier who ,
by the grace of Grant's parole , is per
mitted to enjoy citizenship in this coun
try , has to publicly criticise the action
of a private citizen in his political pre
ferences.
This self-constituted political censor
has been known to the democracy of
this state for years. At one time on
the staff of'1 he Journal gathering re
publican news for it and only seen
among democrats at state conventions ,
he has been ever a disturbing element
in the democratic party , advocating the
indorsement of the anti-monopoly party ,
and afterwards the independent party ,
and later the people's party , and ad
interim , the temperance cranks and
woman's suffragists. No later than
last fall he endorsed Edgerton for su
preme judge , and has advocated fusion
with the people's party and the endorsement -
ment of that party ever since. It is
evident that Mr. Calhoun is an inde
pendent and not a democrat , and if he
wishes to write articles to be copied in
to the independent papers of this dis
trict for the benefit of McKeighan , he
ought to do so from the people's party
standpoint , where he belongs. He
ought to join his late comrade of the
confederate army , General Field , so
that the public may know where he be-1
longs , and not call himself a democrat.
I cannot support McKeighan because
he does not belong to my party. He
has stated on the floor of the house at
Washington , and at the independent
congressional convention at Holdrege ,
and in a joint discussion with Mr. An
drews , that he was an independent and
belonged to that party ; that he was
not a democrat , and that if the selec
tion of the president should be thrown
into the house he would vote for
General Weaver.
I know him to be dishonest in busi
ness and untruthful in matters of pub
lic affairs. He has no claims upon me
from a political standpoint , or other
wise. I have been acquainted with
Mr. Andrews for years. I have made
inquiry as to his private character and
standing , and know him to be a man of
irreproachable character and integrity.
I have but little concern as to what
Mr. Calhoun's opinion of me may be ,
and I shall hardly follow his dictation
in political affairs , or feel disturbed
when he questions my democracy.
