BARTLEY.
O. Frost is attending the state re
union at Lincoln , this week. •
Samuel Yutzy of Cambridge was do
ing business in our town , "Wednesday.
Leslie Dole accompanied Dean J. L.
McBrien to Orleans , Thursday morn
ing , for a short visit.
Frank Brown left for Oklahoma ,
Tuesday , in company with George
Young , who is going in Southeastern
Kansas.
The Bartley McKinley club has now
swelled its membership to 74 , all
voters , and still others will soon join
the ranks.
Miss Nellie Joslin is visiting friends
and relatives in Pranklin county , Ne
braska. She expects to return in
about two weeks.
Percy Catlett of this place left ,
Thursday evening , for Palisade , to
take charge of their school , as prin
cipal , which begins next Monday.
Master Relph Clark took the train
Wednesday morning , for Council
• Bluffs , Iowa , to visit his grand parents.
This an excellent trip for Relph and
no doubt he will enjoy it much.
The Ladies' Aid Society will give a
social in College hall , Fsiday night ,
to which all are invited. Proceeds to
be used towards liquidating parson
age debt. They deserve patronage.
M. D. Frost came down from Mc
Cook , Saturday evening , to attend a
special meeting of the Masonic Lodge
and then spent Sunday with his parents
"
ents , returning on his wheel Sunday
evening.
The Bartley ball team was again
defeated by the Freedom team in a
spirited and scientific contest at the
Woodman picnic in Indianola on
Wednesday : score 5 to 1. As evi
denced by the score the Bartley and
Freedom teams put up good ball when
they meet.
Prof. I. E. Wymore , principal of our
public schools , was circulating among
the patrons , Saturday. Oar school
will commence September 7th , and
the professor proposes to spare no
pains in making Bartley a model
school. Patrons let us all help him.
We are the ones to derive lasting ben
efits.
efits.Miss
Miss Barbara Hahn and niece Miss
Richmond , while out riding , Monday ,
the team became frightened and
overturned the buggy , dragging Miss
Hahn under it a distance of about 60
feet. When removed she was uncon
scious and it was feared she had re
ceived internal injuries , but at this
writing is rapidly recovering. Miss
Richmond was bruised some but for
tunately no bones brokens. It was a
narrow escape for both.
A number of our citizens went to
Indianola , Friday , August 21st , and
listened to the "Little Parson" , the
Hon. W. E. Andrews , expound Repub
lican doctrine. We .do not see how
anyone after hearing so plain an ex
planation of our monetary system and
the evil effects that would follow on
opening our mints to free coinage of
silver , can advocate that doctrine
any longer , but there are a few who
still think free silver the true pan
acea.
The G. A. R. and W. R. C. will give
an entertainment in College hall , Sat
urday , September 5th. Everybody
invited. At their entertainments
they are usnally favored with large
and appreciative audiences and it is
right they should be. We owe our
free government to them and their
comrades , and we love to receive the
inspirations of patriotism from those ,
who , when the country's honor was
assailed , its existence as a nation
about to be severed , offered up their
lives on the altar of their country.
All honor to those who defended the
nation , both at home and in the field.
Hon. J. L. McPheely was greeted
with a large audience , Augnst 20th ,
in College hall , among whom were a
number of Cambridge and Indianola
people. Bartley cornet band and
Cambridge glee club furnished the
music. Mc.discussed the issues of the
campaign in a logical manner and
left the impj ession on his hearers that
Nebraska , Sound money and Protec
tion were all O. K. The Cambridge
glee club treated the audience to sev
eral beautiful songs among which
was "There is a big fat man in the
White House , but he won't be there
any more , " "which was greatly ap
plauded. The club show -their train
ing and sympathy for the cause b } '
the spirit they sing their songs.

The "benedicts" met the
lors" of our town on the diamond and
a spirited contest ensued , resulting in
a store of 8 to 9 in favor of the "ben
edicts" . The game was concluded at
the close of the third inning , and will
only mention a few incidents of the
game , among which was noted , J. H.
Stephens' wonderful attempt to hit
the ball , but nit , Cochran's4 elegant
"stop" on third base , Stilgebouer's
attempted "slide" in on home plate ,
and Harley Keys' beautiful curve
around Gartside's hat until it removed
same without scalping him. Harry
Dole did well on first , and Dennis if
he toughens his hands might be able
to "coop" the ball , while Parrish
brought the crowd to their feet in his
attempt to land a fly which popped
two feet high after hitting his
hands. Each side was frequently ap
plauded in their attempts , for this
was a game of unscientific ball play
ing. At the close of above game the
first nine or Bartley.team crossed
bats with the Indianola team and
won by a score of 20 to 8.
The Baitley McKinley club and a
large audience was addressed on
Wednesday evening by Hon. John
Gammill of Stockville , J. L. McBrien
of Orleans and A. F. Moore of Mc
Cook. The subject of "Tariff" was
ably handled by the first speaker and
he greatly impressed his auditors
with the fact that there is a vast
difference in favor of the poor man
between a tariff for revenue only and
a protective tariff such as the Repub
licans advocate. The second speaker
made a special effort to impress on
the minds of the people that a great
question of principle and American
policy was at stake in the issues of
the campaign , and that there was no
middle ground. You could not vote
for Bryan and call yourself a Lincoln
of Blaine Republican. His argument
was logical and reasoning , good. The
speaker closed with a glowing tribute
to our own Wm. McKinley , which was
received with prolonged applause.
Hon. A. F. Moore of McCook was
next introduced and in a few well
chosen words briefly outlined the
money question , and the great im
portance of maintaining the existing
gold standard as a safe-guard for the
prosperity of our people. Mr. Moore
was to have been our principal speak
er , but was unavoidably detained , ar
riving late , would not further detain
the audience. Our committee secured
the promise from him to address the
club at some future date. Bartley is
not lacking in zealous workers , and
among Avhom are the members of our
Glee club who deserve special men
tion for their part in the success of
the meetings.
INDIANOLA.
W. R. Starr spent Wednesday doing
business in Indianola.
J. W. Dolan left on No. 2 , Sunday
morning , for Exeter , this state.
Hon. John J. Lamborn is transact
ing business in Wilcox , this week.
Editor and Mrs. Mitchell attended
the Woodman picnic , Wednesda3 * .
Burnett Ashton and son started for
Indianapolis , Indiana , to visit rela-
tsues and friends , the other day.
Mrs. E C. Burkett and children
started for their home in Nebraska
City , Wednesday morning. They will
visit friends in Exeter on the way.
A Mahommedan lady lectured in
the Congregational churchlast , week.
She was greeted by a large audience.
During her remarks she expressed
considerable criticism of the people
of the United states , and especially
of the destroying drink habit.
W. G. Black and wife started east ,
Wednesday morning. Mrs. Black will
visit friends in Creston , Iowa. W. G.
will go on and look over his new field
in Illinois. He will not abandon his
home in Indianola , as he will be on
the road most of the time until Janu
ary. He expects to do considerable
for Red Willow county in his travels.
The Modern Woodman picnic was
the occasion of a grand , good time at
Indianola , this week. Many come
from country and neighboring towns ,
all apparently in good spirits and en
joying themselves thoroughly. An
interesting literary programme was
presented. Dean McBrien of Orleans
college delivered an able and instruc
tive address that was well received
highly appreciated by his audience.
Politics is engaging the time and
attention of a number of our promin
ent people. County Attorney Harlow
W. Keyes is preparing a speech that
will smash into smithereens the soph
istry of the silver bugs , while Jasper
S. Phillips , who is now admitted to be
the ablest editor within the realms of
the Coon Creek deestrict , has a good
size chip on his shoulder for the best
man the silver bugs can trot out in
Western Nebraska.
It was a large and enthusiastic
audience that listened to Congress
man Andrews at the opera house on
Friday evening. He was met at the
train by the band and a large delega
tion of the Indianola McKinley club ,
who escorted him to the hall , where
for nearly two hours he explained in
a plain and logical but very able and
interesting manner the questions at
issue now politically. Never did aud
ience give orator closer attention.
The McCook glee club , consisting of
Messrs. Johnson , Britt and McCarl
brothers , added much to the meeting.
The number of times they were re
called being sufficient evidence of
their appreciation by the people of
Indianola.

Walt Hickling and wife were among
the Divide visitors , Sunday last.
There are still a few small jobs of
threshing to be done in the neighbor
hood.

What little corn there is has rip
ened considerably during the past
week.
Clara Hanlein has been visiting
over near the Driftwood , during the
past week or so.
Coyotes are becoming more numer
ous as fall approaches and spring
chickens are of some size.
The recent rains will Jae of some
benefit to late garden truck , such as

These are smoky days indeed and
remind one very much of Pacific coast
weather at this time of year.
M.Steltzer has abiding faith in the

The Modrell boys are at work near
Beatrice , this state , and write that
crops and especially corn will make a

Oklahoma where a son is now located.
Since the hasty departure of our
regular sorghum mixer , O'Connor now
has the business in town and every
morning we expect to see sorghum
running down the hill.
Mrs. W. X. Johnson has been quite
ill during the past few da3-s , caused
perhaps by the recent semi-tropical
heat that seemed to have a depress
ing effect on every body and every
thing.
The poetry that hails from North
Coleman is hot stuff , and is like good

We notice by the Tacoma Daily
News that the writer here was to have
delivered a sermon at one of the
churches of that city on a recent Sun-
da3r , our name being confused with
that of W. S. Hanlein who has been
a resident student at Tacoma during
the past four years.
Will Johnson will leave in a da3r erse

the natives how he looks while run

slow if his feet do require a number

The following is copied from a
weekly paper as being more than
true and to the point : "This age is
suffering harm from the empty grab
ble of a multitude of men and women
who have 'zeal without knowledge : '
and who assume to decide , off hand ,
perplexing and difficult problems
which continue to baffle even the wis
est and most patient thinkers. Ques
tions concerning currencyprotection ,
free trade , belligerency , the Monroe
doctrine , and the tax onland are
glibly discussed and unhesitatingly
decided in the most positive fashion
by people who would be floored in six
ty seconds were they asked five
sfraight questions on any of these
topics. In the multitude of counsel
lors there is safetj' , still it will hold
true that the wise man holds his
tongue until he has something to say :
and that he is slow of speech and of a
slow tongue on those subjects as to
which he is lacking information" .
The Nebraska Press association
will hold its annual meeting in Grand

The Sound Money railroad clubs ot

Brother correspondent N. C , I as
sure you that I am not at all inclined
to take that awful jump. I would
rather stay in Nebraska , the land of
poets. That vegetable poetry was
fine. ,
Frank Everist is buying all the
hogs and cattle that he can find. He
intends to give a grand barbecue din
ner when McKinley is elected , and
that is the best inducement for voting
ing for him that we have heard of
yet , but alas , we cannot vote.
We see people going east , we see
them going west , We suppose the } '
are hunting for a land that is blest
With sunshine and rain all the year
" round , Where coffee grows on White-
oak trees , and everything good is
found. They are passing through Ne
braska , the healthiest place on earth ,
And going down to Arkansas to chill
themselves to death. Some are going
to Colorado , the gold mines for to see ,
But oh when winter comes how sorry
they will be. Some are bound for
Wyoming to drive cattle on the plains ,
And we suppose that is a country
where it sometimes rains. But Ne
braska is the country that suits the
poor man best , For when it does not
rain he gets a good long rest. He can
rest contented without either ache
or pain , And that is what they can
not do in a country where there's too
much rain. Then stay in Nebraska
all ye jolly farmer boys , And don't
listen to the people that make so
much noise , About a better place to
live in , for it is verjT hard to find :
Anyhow that is the wa } ' it is settled
