Thompson, whom tho Democratic and People's Independent parties have named as candidate for governor of our state and whom wo confidently expect tho peo ple of this great commonwealth to elect to that office on next Tuesday. No man more honorable, able or with more courage to take up tho duties that fall to tho lot of that official cAuld have been named for Nebraska's governor. Following are a few words of esteem from tho pcoplo among whom he lives: Grand .Island, Ncbr., Oct. i6, 1902 To Whom It May Concern: As some wrong statements have been mado and circulated among our preachers, I am glad to say, in the interest of justice and fair play, that Hon. W. H. Thompson is regarded by the Christian people of this community as a man of sterling character and a warm friend of the churches. Whilo he himself is not a member of any religious body, yet he is always ready with voice, pen or pocket-book, to help on every worthy enterprise. At the recent session of our annual conference his fine home was cheerfully thrown open and a number of our ministers were welcomed as honored guests. W. W. Carr, Pastor First Methodist Church. Interviewed With C. r. llcntley. Cashior First National Bank of Grand Island, Nebraska. "I consider Mr. Thompson's nomination an excellent one from every .stand point. Ho has been successful both as an attorney and as a business man, and has shown himself to bo possessed of qualities of a high character that will insure a clean and successful administration, in case ho is elected. Ho enjoys the esteem of the people of Hall County and will undoubtedly receive a large complimentary yoto in this locality." Grand Island, Neb., Oct. 15, 1902. Dear Sin: For the past nino years I have Jmown Hon. W, H. Thompson quite intimately. Ho is an ideal neighbor and a public spirited citizen. And also a succsesful business man. As Mayor of tho City of Grand Island he car ried his business tact and rare administrative ability into the management of public affairs and thereby won the confidence admiration of his fellow citizens. Mr. Thompson has been a trustee of the Grand Island College since its or ganization, for many years being tho Chairman of its Executive Committee. As such trustee he has freely devoted his time, money and legal service to the furtherance of tho intsrests of the institution. I know Mr. Thompson's sympathy and influence are always on the side of religion and morality. His contribution for tho support of both ministers and churches have been both generous and frequent. Very truly yours, Geokgr Sutuhkland, Pres. Grand Island College. Interview YVlth.S. '. Wolbnch. Wholesale and Retail Merchant. W. H. Thompson is an old citizen pf Grand Island. Ho is honest and honorable, his word is as good as a bond. He is a good father to his family and a man in whom tho pcoplo of the state of all parties can have confidence in his integrity. Mr. Thompson is a well-balanced man, with good ideas, he is pro gressive and is one of the lawyers of the Stato who prefers to have a client set tle cases ont of court than to drag them into court. If elected the interests of the stato would bo looked after from a business rather than from a partisan standpoint. One thing is certain, nobody can say an iota against him as to his character, his capability as an attorney or as an honorable man. Grand Island, Oct. 16, 1902. Dear Brother: I know from a great many years acquaintance with Hon. W. H. Thompson, tho fusion or people's nominee for Governor, that ho posses ses high ideals in regard to vutue and morality. If elected I know that his ap pointments will be mado on merit alone. Rest assured that he will give this state an administration free from railroad influeuco and petty partisanship. We will all join in rejoicing when the present "accidental" governor is succeeded by one in whom all Christians may have confidence. Very cordially, Bayard H. Paine, Supt. First Methodist Sunday School. The board of county commissioners finished their labors last Saturday. We want to say right here aud now that the members of the present board, re gardless of politics, are conscientious, painstaking, honest and earnest in their efforts in behalf of the people. Each county commissioner shows a desire to do the best possible for the county and in the least amount of time which is a decided inovation from the tactics pursued by some of the old board. Messrs. Duncan, Lore and Caha each have all the personal business at their respective homes that they can look after, without spending any unnecessary time for the county. This is one of the best boards the county has had tor some years, and we think it is but just to state this fact for tho benefit of some of our citizens who may not know. The Volante, a paper published monthly by the students of Grand Island College, has the following to say of Hon. W. H. Thompson The Volante is not a political organ and therefore advocates the election of no can didate on merely political grounds. We are not acquainted with the republican can didate and can therefore bear no testimony to his high qualifications for the the office to which he aspires. But we have known the Honorable W. H. Thompson for a good many years and speak with regard to him from a somewhat intimate acquaintance. Mr. Thompson is recognized by all who know him as a clean, true man. He is a man of ability. He made an excellent mayor of Grand Island and has tho qualities to make a good governor of the state. Mr. Thompson is interested in all public matters. He has been a capable trustee of Grand Island College from the beginning of the school, and has done much for its advancement. His library has always been open for the use 01 me siuaents anu ms jatcn string nas always been out lor tliose connected with the school, Mr. Thompson is recognized as o Tend of law and order, of morality and religion. Mr. Thompson has always been a friend of the students, and while we do not say these things to advocate his election, yet we regard it as the duty of those that are acquainted with him to say what they know, at a time when all records and charac ters are placed under the blazing search light of public scrutiny. Mr. Thompson is a man who will stand the test. Auction.

"Wfc. "Ktomss. A. M. Morrissey, the Democratic and Popnlist candi date for senator in this district, was born December 27th, 1870, at Livania, New York. In the spring of r8go, hav ing caught tho western fever, he came west and located at Chadron, where three of his older brothers were then living. Soon afterwards he entered the law office of Judge Alfred Bartow and began the study of law. He remained in this office until the fall of 1892, when he was appoitcd Deputy County Clerk of Dawes county and Iield this postion for two years. With th6 money thus earned he completed his education and was admitted to the bar in 1895. He imme diately entered tho practice of -his profession, assciating himself with Captain Allen G. Fisher, of Chadron and thus continued until tho spring of 1898, when he removed to Valentine, his present home. In the fall of 1898, after a hard campaign, ho was elected County Attorney of Cherry county, running seventy votes ahead of his ticket. So acceptably did ho fill the office that in 1900, when the county gave MoKinley, for president, a majority of 225 it re-elected Mr. Morrissey, on the fusion ticket, by a ma jority of 314. In tho four years that he has been County Attorney of Cherry county, the largest county in the state and one of tho largest cattle producing counties in the world, ho has distinguished himself as a fearless and sue cessful prosecutor; he has bout up the largest "practice en-' joyed by any lawyer of his age in western Nebraska; and has so endeared himself to the people of his county that the leading business men Including bankers, merchants and cattlemen, without regard to party, join in expressions of confidence in his ability and integrity and freely declare their iutcntion of supporting him for tho senate on Tuesday next.

But wo linvo grave doubts whether it enn be baked as well in a stovo ns In an open fireplace; but, nlas, of the latter only a few remain. Tho nshenke, of course, must have ashes. They nro Indispensable. As well try to produce a mint julep with out mint. On the other hajid, "ilnp Jacks" need only a well greased frying pan, but skill Is required to turn them. That is done by pitching them out of tho pan Into tho nlr and making them como down Unp on tho other Bide. The corn pono may bo cooked in a stove or range. ' Tho hocenko -was originally cooked on a hoo in the fields and In tho negro cabin. A skillet will do well enough for it, but must be well greased at tho bottom. So, too, with respect to egg or batter bread. As for corn muffins, the appliances of a rnngo are admira bly adapted to them. Wo wish some millionaire would fit up a Virginia country home in ante bellum stylo and among other things have in It a big open fireplace, a black cook in a gingham dress, with a red bandanna on her head, and also have a half aero mint bed, an icehouse and an old time garden filled with raspber ries and gooseberries, thyme, sago, cur rants and all the ordinary tablo vege tables. When one of those old tlmo homes and gardens and kitchens Is restored and tho host and hostess have entered Into possession, we desire to be listed ns a frequent guest, with a reserved seat in tho chimney corner. Then all we shall want will bo tho zest, tho ap petite, the voraciousness we possessed when wo could cat eighteen rolls and six eggs for breakfast and consume a whole watermelon between meals. But, alas, It would bo easier to restore old walls and open fireplaces than to bring back tho digestion and Btorago capacity of a youth that's gone, of a time that's past and never can return.

When roasting fowls, put them Into an Intensely hot oven until carefully browned; after that cook slowly, bast ing frequently. When gravy Is being mado from roast veal, lamb, beef or chicken, uso milk instead of water added to tho brown drippings left In tho pan after tho fat has been poured off. Before baking a blueflsh tho creole cooks pour over It a sauco made from fresh or canned tomatoes In which garlic is chopped. It is then baked un til the flesh of tho fish flakes, admitting the sauce. For a quick cake beat until thick four eggs; add four tablcspoonfuls of sugar, half a cupful of flour, a little cinnamon and lemon rind; beat well and Bprcad on a baking pan; bake In quick oven ana cut at once. Cooking teachers say that tho ingre dients for pancakes, fritters and tho like should be mixed fully two hours beforo the batter la needed. This, they explain, gives tho flour a chanco to swell, and tho batter is better and more wholesome. A Clever Horr. A great many horses aro fed on the streets from "catbags" drawn up over their noses and wabbling about in a manner which must make it very un comfortable to cat one's dinner in that way. Tho "Boston Herald tells of a bright horse down in 'Tie Alley" which bad nearly reached the bottom of his bag. It wabbled awfully, but tho oats were sweet and he was hun gry. In front of him stood a wagon, and tho wagon had a wheel. Happy thought l He walked up to tho wheel, rested his canvas bag on tho top of it and finished his dinner to tho last oat In a comfortable, leisurely fashion and with a twinklo in his eye.
