Republican Judicial Convention.
The Republican electors of the I4th
i Judicial District of Nebraska are requested -
ri quested to send delegates from their
respective counties to meet in convention
i in the city of McCook , Nebr. , on
Wednesday the 27th day of September ,
1899 , at 8 o'clock p. UK , for the purpose
of placing in nomination a candidate for
the office of District Judge , and to trans
act such other business as may come
before the convention.
The several counties comprising the
district are entitled to representation as
follows , the apportionment being based
on the vote cast for Hon. M. L. Hay ward
for governor in 1898 , giving each county
one delegate at large and one for each
lee votes and major fraction thereof to-
\vit :
It is recommended that no proxies be
admitted , but that delegates present be
authorized to cast the entire vote of the
delegation of the county which they
represent. C. E. HOPPING ,
F. N. MBRWIN , Sec'y. Chairman.
If may be said to the high credit of
Ira Cole of the Era that he does not
claim to be "modest. " He does claim
to be "hot. " And there is no contro
versy over this point.
sudden and serious illness of Unit
ed States Senator Hay ward has naturally
caused great uneasiness all over the
commonwealth , and the later informa
tion will be welcomed that his case
is not serious as was first reported , and
that he is recovering as rapidly as can be
expected under the circumstances.
THIS question of the transportation
of the First Nebraska home can and
should be settled by the railroads of the
state. Either the Burlington or the
Union Pacific , ' or both , should step in
and take this burden off of the people of
the state , and out of political and per
sonal consideration , and bring the boys
home. It would be an act that would
be profitable to the railroads in more
than one way. First , they would , as
soon as the legislature meets , be well
paid financially ; and secondly , such a
magnanimous act would have a reassur
ing effect on the people of the state ,
many of whom today do not entertain a
high opinion of railroad corporations.
Such an act would indicate that the
great railroad corporations of the state are
disposed to appreciate the patronage of
a prosperous people and that the roads
have confidence in the people to that
extent , anyway. It will settle a ques
tion which bids fair to be annoying if
not humiliating.

No one knows the unbearable torture ,
the peculiar and agonizing pain , caused
by piles , unless they have suffered from
them. Many believe them incurable.
This is a mistake. Proper treatment
will cure them. Tabler's Buckeye Pile
Ointment is an infallible cure. Price ,

DANBURY.
The dedication of a beautiful house to the
service of God is a grand net. It reminds us
most forcibly that the Church of God is not a
losing but a gaining cause , not a sinking
hut a rising cause , not a retreating but a con
quering cause.
The programme of the service was well
carried out and much credit is due the pastor ,
Rev. E. C. Hayes , for his untiring efforts to
make the exercises a success , as they were.
Saturday evening , Rev. G.V. . Mitchell of
Franklin , Neb. , preached an inspiring sermon
to the young people along educational lines.
Rev. Hayes gave the address of welcome in
the absence of Rev. Windle of the M. E.
church. At 10:30 : , Sunday morning , the new
church building was crowded full. Six min
isters , in addition to the pastor , were present.
After the customary devotional services , to
gether with a fine anthem by the choir , Rev.
F. F. Lewis of Holdrege , Neb. , preached an
excellent sermon. The audience gave him
the best attention throughout and was well
pleased with his practical , earnest sermon.
Rev. Hayes made a financial statement giv
ing cost of chuich 1,703 , and amount yet to
be raised $336.21. After a short but earnest
appeal from Snpt. Bross , over 5300 of the
amount due was raised and all were pleased
at the ready response of the citizens of Danbury -
bury and vicinity at this time. After singing ,
the morning services were concluded.
At 8:30 , Sunday evening , the building was
again filled. After the usual opening exercises
Rev. Bross preached a most forceful and
earnest dedicatory sermon to an attentive
audience. Another offering was asked to
liquidate the few dollars of debt left , and in a
few minutes a little more than was needed
was raised , clearing all up. It will please all
to know that the Dorcas Work Circle con
tributed about $124 to the building of the
church in addition to their other benevolent
work. Rev. Hayes presented a beautiful pul
pit Bible , given to the church by Rev. Gilbert
Chase of Concord , N. II. The Act of Dedi
cation was then read responsively by pastor
and people after which Rev. Hardcastle of
Cambridge , Neb. , offered the dedicatory
prayer.
Much credit is due the choir for six anthems
well rendered during the three services.
Truly we can say , "Behold the tabernacle of
God is with men , and he will dwell with them ,
and they shall be his people , and God himself
shall be with them , and be their God. " * in

A Life and Death Fight.
Mr. W. A. Hines of Manchester , la. , writing
of his almost miraculous escape from death ,
says : "Exposure after measles induced serious
lung trouble , which ended in consumption. I
had frequent hemorrhages and coughed night
and day. All my doctors said I must soon
die. Then I began to use Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption , which completely
cured me. I would not be without it even if
it cost $5.00 a bottle. Hundreds have used it
on my recommendation and all say it never
fails to cure throat , chest and lung troubles. "

thought that Jasper Phillips of the Reporter
will return his transportation to the Burling
ton and henceforth conduct all his business
with McCook per phone. He's so dreadfully
"skeert" about that new court house falling
down , dent you know.

S. C. Wolf's spasmodic efforts to eliminate
the bibulous mob from his cafe with "peach
cider" fountain app'urlenances have at fast
been crowned with success. The sports say
that if it wasn't for the merry-go-round in Si's
dome making him so loquacious , he would
unquestionably get along with his patrons
better.
A pathetic spectacle indeed was that wit
nessed on our streets , last Sunday afternoon.
If the sight of a half-grown boy , just entering
his teens , lying on the sidewalk in a state of
beastly intoxication is not calculated to touch
the heart and at the same time arouse one's
indignation against those responsible , then
those things can't be done.
George Chadd , who had an implied en
gagement to go to Omaha , has returned.
Aside from that anxious-for-a-holiday ap
pearance he is the same congenial chap , but

about the interior of that sandwich foundry ,
anyway.
A couple of couples started for Indianola to
attend camp-meeting , one evening last week ,
but found the delights of the drive altogether
irresistible and passed the meeting up , contin
uing their pilgrimage far into the night. In the
course of their wanderings they met a fence
post which took advantage of the darkness
and broke the tongue of the surrey , and then
everything was not so serene. The girls were
scared sick while the boys figured on ways
and means out of the predicament till huge
chunks of perspiration moistened their fe
vered brows. They finally got home and all
pledged the utmost secrecy about the affair ,
but of course each one confided to a friend or
two. Further information on application to
Tim Merchant or Ed Curlee.
While Nebraska stands second to no other
state in point of educational advancement ,
there occasionally crops out an instance of ig
norance so dense that one might consistently
believe we are living in a settlement of Geor
gia crackers. As witness : The members of
the M. E. Sunday-school were , last Sunday ,
edified ( ? ) by the long-winded argument of a
man who insisted that the earth was flat with
square corners , and that the sun and moon
and stars do all the rushing around necessary
to transform clay into night and night into
day. He no doubt firmly believes that a man
can literally "fall off the earth" by crawling to
the edge and letting go. And the "spieler"
wasn't like the man from Missouri who want
ed to be shown , but , Arkansaw-like , announced
that he wouldn't believe it after he had seen.

travelers may enter the town from the west.

of making the town accessible from any point
of the compass.
