The reading of Coin's Financia

tling the mind of a colored man living
at Rocheport , Mo. It is very seldom
that a negro takes anything except
ing a watermelon or a 'possum so ser-
j iously as that.

1 tion and instruction on the political

i and over every time people are turned

I prominent speakers.
America seems to be sweltering

The report of the State Banking
board just made shows that on the
30th day of June there was on deposit
in savings banks in Nebraska $2,406-
S55.35 in general deposits. This sum
was made up of small deposits of the
wage earner , salaried clerks , women ,

so forth. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It is planned to have all the candi

Mr. Watson meet in the crowd. Chicago

Canadian banks and business men
are refusing to accept American sil
ver or silver certificates at par val
ue. This determination is said to be
prompted by two facts : First , the
silver agitation ; second , because
there is too much American silver in
circulation in Canada. . The Stand
ard bank of Toronto , after August
15th , will receive American bills at
1)0 ) cents on the dollar.
The Tribune bespeaks for Con
gressman Andrews a full house to

vincingly upon the issues of the
I present campaign. Able , apt and
I earnest , thoroughly posted on the
questions of finance and protection ,
a forceful and clear exposition of the
same may be expected at his hands
I
tonight. Gifted with the graces of
oratory aud possessing the power of a
trained and studious mind , the issues
now agitating the American people
will be handled by the Congressman
with ability not to be approached by
the average peanut variety of stump
speakers. Make a special effort to
Jiear him in the opera house this
evening.

BARTLEY.
William Smith , editor of the Bart-
ley Inter-Ocean , was a business visi
tor to McCook , Monday.
The past week has been a very hard
one on corn. Many fields that looked
promising a week ago have been
blighted by the excessive heat and
will do well to make a half crop.
County Superintendent Carnahan
held a teachers' examination in our
school building , last Saturday. About
1 dozen of Red Willow countj 's in
structors of the youth attended.
The Bartley base ball team go Mc
Cook , next Saturday , and will make
in effort to defeat the county seat
team. It's dollars to doughnuts that
Bartley brings home the laurels.
S.V. . Stilgebouer and daughter of
Danbnry were yisiting with his son
P. G. Stilgebouer , "Wednesday and
Thursday. Mr. Stilgebouer reports
: reps aronnd and west of Danbury
badly burnt by the dry , hot weather.
R. L. Ellis and wife returned , Tues-
lay evening , from central Oregon ,
where they have been during the
summer. Father Ellis looks much
improved over his trip and we are
jlad to welcome their return among
is.
The Lebanan base ball team cross-
id bats with Bartley team on the
atter's grounds , last Saturday , and
• esulted in a victory for the home
: eamby a score of 15 to 21. Both
earns did some good work but as a
vhole it was featureless and each
tad a number of errors scored
igainst them.
Miss Jessie Stephens , who so ablj
taught the primary department oj
our school , last year , and who "Was re
elected for the coming year , has re
signed her position. Miss Jessie was
a great favorite among the little
folks and by her earnest , efficient
work not only won the esteem of the
little ones but of the patrons as well.
We understand the Indianola base
ball team is to play Bartley on the
latter's groundsone week from Satur-
daj' , at which time a game is now be
ing arranged to take place between
the "married" and ' ' * '
men 'single men
of our town. These promise to be
interesting games and a small fee
will be charged to gain admittance
to the grounds , presumably to pay ex
penses in resetting joints , doctoring
sore heads etc. , that come to the un
initiated. Everybody invited.
Miss Nellie Stephens has been elect
ed to fill the vacancy in the primary
department of our school. Miss Nellie
is one of Red Willow county's most
successful teachers , having taught
two years in our intermediate de
partment , and we again welcome her
in our school as a teacher. Now if
the patrons of our school will give
the teachers the earnest cooperation
in their work that they ought , the
school in the future , as well as in the
past , can be the just pride of our
town.
On Wednesday evening the Republi
can club met in regular session , with
A. G. Keys wielding the gavil. The
Bartley Glee club was present and
after rendering a beautiful campaign
song , Rev. Adams of Arapahoe was
introduced to the large crowd of
ladies and gentlemen present. He
briefly touched on the leading points
and issues of the campaign. Dwell
ing at some length on the causes for
the fall of prices and how this can
best be adjusted , which the speaker
claimed would be by a wisely con
structed protective tariff and reci
procity clauses. He interspersed his
remarks with wit and humor and was
frequently applauded during his dis
burse.
Calling those who differ from us
politically idiots , cranks and fools , is
10 argument. Getting mad and want-
ng to fist fight over free silver doc-
: rine or goldbug idea does not decide
tnything. This campaign should be
fought out with reason and common
sense , and will be decided at the bal-
ot box along in the early part of No-
rember. Keep cool. Hayes Center
Republican.
A Kansas City woman was " led to
liscaid bloomers because her pet dog
lidn't recognize her in her masculine
garments. Dogs are good for some-

Owing perhaps to the almost total
bsence of real nubbins anywhere on

has been suggested that we let the

H. Simmerman threshed his wheat

Roy Coleman was in McCook three

R. J. Traphagan threshed out 211

Shorty- Smith does like to have
: hings convenient , but it is a little
nore than he petitioned for to have
; he corn roasted on the stalk and po-

R. J. Traphagan sowed one bushel
f hog millet last spring , and it
hreshed out 64 bushels. This was on
ipland where it is 230 feet to water ,
t is said to be splendid for hogs. It
natures in about sixty days and rip-
ns before the dry , hot weather sets
n. We are informed that Mr. Still-
lan sowed nine bushels last spring
nd has threshed nine hundred bush-
Is , which is one hundred to one in-
tead of 10 to 1. If it will raise and
atten hogs and cattle and make good
erse feed , or make a half ration for
orses , it is certainly the crop for this
ountry. With alfalfa on the bot-
ems and hog millet on the uplands ,
tils will be the most prosperous place
i America : and then farmers willet
ot be compelled to carry ten-penny
ails and a few old keys in their
ockets to make a jingle. Something
needed and hog millet may be the
; ry crop and a God-send to this coun-
• y , as there is little doubt but it will
reduce a crop any year and every
jar , no matter how dry and hot it
ay get.
