An Attractive Window
II. M. .Tonne's shoe store can
boast of a show window this
week that would be a credit to
any city. Indeed it would be
hard for a city establishment to
equal it as they would lack the
rural simplicity which makes
this one so charming. It is just
shoes and autumn leaves , but
blended in such a manner as to
cause all to stop and gaze and
then return for a second glance
It is worth \our while to see
the window.
Successful Hog Sale
TheWittrock-Wyatt-Rieschick
hog sale Saturday afternoon
proved a drawing card , bringing
many buyers from a distance to
this city. The stock raised by
these gentlemen is the best and
on this occasion brought the top
prices. Eight tine hogs from
this sale were shipped on one
train Monday. They still have
a few choice Poland-China boars
left which they will sell at $20
for choice. First come first ser.
ved. The hog purchased at the
state fair by Wittrock-Wyatt &
Rieschick for $100 was on exhi
bition at their sale in this city
Saturday and breeders from
abroad thought enough of their
judgment along the line of herd
breeders to teneler them $800 for
this untried youngster. They
propose to introducr new blood
each year and the tops are none
too good for these gentlemen.

It will be remembered that or
the night of August 9th the
stores of George Cleveland am'
Albert Wanner were broken into
and goods to the amount of quite
a sum were taken. No arrests
were made at the time , for , while
people h a d their suspicions
as to who 'the guilty parties
were , enough evidence was not al
their command to cause an }
arrests. Since that time , how

Will He Answer ?
McCrayhas inflicted the voters
of his district with a labored
defense of the accusations
against him. In it he abandones
every position taken by hinr in
his Journal article1 and tries
another tack entirely. Of course
he fills his statement with the
Usual disgusting personalities ,
for Bill McCray when not insult
ing ) is not Hill McCray. The al
legations made against in
dividuals by him are all untrue
but in as much as they are so far
beside the question at issue , we
do not feel called upon to discuss
them.
It will be noticed that Bill no
onger says that he did not know
of the defective condition of the
jridge which cost the county so
nuch in money and Mrs. Constantine -
stantine so much in suffering.
Chas. Santo showed that Bill
was mistaken when he stated he
knew nothing about it , so Bill
backs up and talks about other
things.
He docs say , ho.vever that no
offer of $1200 was made to settle
the case.
Joe Bauer says such an offer
was made. Chas. Xoellers says
such an offer was made. John
[ linton says such an offer was
madeC. . F. Reavis the at
torney says he made such an
offer to McCray personally just a
few hours before the case was
tried and Hinton , Xoellcrss and
Bauer urged the settlement and
McCray refused to accept it.
Bill is a candidate. The others
are not.
Speaking of Anniniasi which
will you believe.
You will likewise notice that
Mr. Gardiner says that Bill is
mistaken when he says on his
( Cf.inliner's authoritythat ) the
DuBois bridge was a good bridge.
We ask McCray to answer the
following questions
Did you not tell the board that
the DuBois bridge was the
heaviest bridge ever constructed
in the countv ?
Is it not a fact that it is the
lightest bridge ever bought by
the county ?
Is it not a fact that you led the
board to believe that you had
purchased new material for this
bridge ?
Is it not a fact that this
material is old , rust eaten ,
second hand steel ? Is it not .1
fact that it has been re-paintc <
and that when the paint wa !
scratched off it showed rus
marks and disclosed the name o
another bridge company , show
ing that the bridge had beer
used by one company and thei
re-painted and sold to you by an
other company ?
Is it not a fact that you repre
sented to the board that tin
material was purchased of a re
putable company , while as ;
matter of fact you bought it of ;
contractor who was then and i
now under indictment in Beatric
Neb.j for fraud in bridge work
Did you not do these thing
in an effort to make a showini
. of how cheaply you could buili
bridges in order to get even will
the Gilligan company for payini
the expenses of contesting you
seat as you say they did ?
Now these are plain question
and are possible to answer in
decent , gentlemanly way. Yo
may have space in this paper t
reply to them if you desin
General assertions will not gc
neither will slanderous person
alities. You are a candidate an
will receive a maked copy of thi
paper. Your constituents ar
entitled to the facts. We charg
j I these things against you and wi
vl prove them if you deny them.
It is up to you.
