Progress and Prosperity. Farmer Morlan's candidacy for con gress in the Fifth district is progressing very satisfactorily , albeit with little of the brass-band or fire-works element in it. In fact , the deacon is of such warp and woof , such fiber , as one of the plain , common people that Mr. Bryan used to dwell so lovingly upon , that any other sort of campaign would be out of har mony with the man and the"people he will faithfully and efficiently and loyally represent in the next session of the national legislature. During the twenty or more years that Farmer Morlan has lived and labored in this district he has built up for himself among the people of all classes , ( and he has come in practical touch with all , ) a fair fabric of sterling honesty of character and purpose , a splendid record for indefatigable labor , for doing things , which , at this time , backed and supported by the thoroughly American principles and platform upon which he squarely stands , are drawing to the support of his candidacy for con gressman , from all parties , the elements and voters which cannot fail of insuring his successful election in November. Mr. Morlan's acknowledged brain and brawn , his practical directness , his utter disregard of the shams and petty arts of the political demagoguery of the day , his deep sympathy with the real needs of the real people and his eminent abil ity to accomplish results along the line of the common good , make him an ideal candidate for the votes of the farmers , stockmen , businessmen and people gen erally who make up the hardy , sturdy , self-reliant population of the "Big Fifth" district. And not only have the Republicans named a candidate who highly com mends himself to the solid and depend able people of the district , but they have placed their nominee upon a platform which supports and encourages the splendid policy of President McKinley , who is a valiant and loyal and winning supporter of the dual idea of "prosperity at home and prestige abroad. " A vote for Morlan is a vote for a continuance of progress and prosperity. In the Fifth District. Nebraska Populists will hardly con template with satisfaction the situation in the Fifth district , in which the pres ent Populist congressman has been turned down for reuomination in order to make place for a Democrat. The policy of the Democratic branch of the Fusion alliance to monopolize so far as possible the places on the con cr gressional delegation , in order to crowd bi the Populist party out of the field as a be national organization , has been evi $5 denced for some time. The first step in tL accomplishing this result was taken when Congressman Maxwell was squeezed out teat by a deal that substituted a Democrat on the ticket in his stead. When the time at arrives for the absorption of the Populists by the Democrats the Bryan ; pe insist upon having men in positions that can or be depended upon to go the full length , rather than to stand by the guns of Pop W ulist principle or go back to the ranks of the Republican party. A year ago a declaration was made in Is writing by the Democratic nominee for fa congress in the Sixth district , just after he had been persuaded by Mr. Bryan to retire in favor of a competitor with Pop Uf ulist name , but Democratic antecedents , fo we that after the year 1900 there would be wTJ no more Fusion and that the leaders of TJD the Democratic party would be in control D when Fusion was ended. That the pro LPr gramme mapped out by the Democratic PrCI CICi managers is being executed is plainly CiN. N. visible in the result in the Fifth district , N.Di where Congressman Sutherland has been DiN humiliated in spite of his faithful adherence N lo ence to the Bryan cause. loLi LiC When the programme is completely N C : carried out the Populist representatives Oi OiC in the national legislature will be a C ( thing of the past , and that at no distant StK day.

Dennison Street Republican Senatorial Convention. The Republican electors of the Twenty- Ninth Senatorial district are requested to send delegates from their respective counties to meet in convention in the city of McCook , Nebraska , Thursday , September 13,1900 , at 8 o'clock , p. m. , for the purpose of placing in nomination a candidate for the office of state senator and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the convention. The several counties are entitled to repre sentation as follows : Chase 4 Dundy 4 Frontier 10 Furnas 14 Gosper 5 Hayes 4 Hitchcock S Red Willow n The apportionment being based on the vote cast for Hon. M. B. Reese for supreme judge in 1899 , giving each county one delegate at large and one delegate for each 100 votes and major fraction thereof.

McCook , Nebraska , August I5th , 1900. F. M. RATHBUN , Chairman. F. M. KIMMELL , Secretary. . LITTLE by little the mask is being drawn aside , and the Democratic pur pose in Nebraska to absorb the Populist party in Nebraska is becoming more and more evident. One of the cleverest moves in this well-laid general plan was the capture of the Populist congressional nomination by the Democratic banker of Alma. But the capture of the Populist votes of the Fifth district will be another and more difficult proposition. THE posters entitled "Uncle Sam's Balance Sheet" and "That Terrible Eclipse , " published by The American Protective Tariff League , are perhaps the most striking illustrations of the differ ence in conditions between 1896 and 1900 , which have been issued thus far in the campaign. These posters can be seen in the rooms of any local Republi can committee , or will be sent to any address for eight cents. Ask for posters "G" and "H.

They were passing a. good story at the courthouse yesterday afternoon concerning a young lawyer who was admitted to practice a short time ago and recently hung out his shingle. His office Isn't a very pretentious affair , but he didn't think it necessary to apologize to his friends for his little eight by ten , with several feet parti tioned off for the use of his "clerk. " The other day lightning struck , and the door opened slowly , while a voice charged with a strong Irish accent ask ed If the lawyer was in. "Jaines , " said the rising disciple of Blackstone , getting up from a couch at the time , "I wish you'd step around to the First National bank and tell them that the amount of that draft Isn't quite right. It should be $1,573 , instead of $1,023 , and before you re turn drop Into Mr. Johngre's office and tell him I've collected that $3,500 claim for him. While you're there , step across the hall and inform Mr. Fogo- boll that unless that note for $10,000 is paid ] in the morning I shall begin fore closure i proceedings. Don't lose any time 1 , as Ive a great deal of work for you this morning. " "Be hivlns ! " gasped the client pro spective , who had progressed as far as the doorway Into the inner office , "this he's no place fer me wid er two dollar fifty cint claim ter k'lect. " And he departed.

An advertisement In a facsimile is sue of a Maryland paper in 1773 shows that the housewives of that day used cooking utensils * of a kind that only a favored few can offord to use now. A coppersmith "from Lancaster" living "Baltimore-Town" advertises copper fish and wash kettles , copper and brass brewing kettles , saucepans , coffee and chocolate pots , stewpaus and Dutch ovens. There was plenty of help in the household then with the slaves. Sev eral advertisements refer to them. In one a "Commission and Insurance Bro ker" "Gratefully acknowledges the favors of his friends , and hopes for a continuance of their correfpondence. He has now for fale , a Pocket of good HOPS , a 10 inch new CABLE and wants to buy a NEGRO GIRL , about 12 years old. " Women were in certain kinds of business at that time , for a firm of "taylors" { idvertise their business as two doors from Mrs. Chilton's tavern. People liked to hear a little gossip in those days also , as now , and what may be called a society note follows the no tice : of a wedding and informs the pub lic that "By a late marriage in St. Ma ry's the Lady is become Sister-in-law to her own mother and the Gentleman Son-in-law to his Sister-in-law. " A BroUcii Shoestring : . "There goes a man who may wish before long that he had a good , souucl shoestring In his shoe , " remarked a man to a friend as a rather slipshod individual passed them on the street. The man referred to had a broken shoestring in one of his shoes , and the other had been spliced In several places. "I am not talking from the point of view of neatness , " went on the first man , "but on account of an accident It that befell me recently. 1 was about' ' to get off a street car when the shoe 'kdi string In one of my shoes snapped. It had been tightly laced , and the break , occurring when it did , just as I had \ taken my hand from the rail , was enough to make me lose my balance. ' j felt myself falling to the street. There 'AV was a trailer on the car , and I was \ pretty badly scared , as I thought that I stood a good chance of getting a leg under the wheels. Luckily I made a final effort to straighten myself , and I G.G got clear with nothing more than a R painfully twisted ankle. | "A shoestring is a small thing , but after that scare I determined that I II would always have a good one in my loT. shoe.
