The democratic slato central commit
too has issued the following call through
Chairman P. L. Hull and Secretary G
V. Phillips:
The democratic electors of the state
of Nebraska nre hereby called in deleg
ate convention at the city of Omaha,
Wednesday, June 1, 1904, at 2 o'clock,
p.m. for the purpose of electing four
dclegatos-al-largo and four alternate do-lcgatcs-nt-largc,
and twelve district de
legates and twelve alternate district de
legates, each congressional district in
the state being entitled to two district
delegates and two alternate district de
legates, said delegates to represent the
democratic party of Nebraska in the
democratic national convention to be
held in St. Louis, Mo., July 6, igrtj.
The several counties of the state will
be entitled to one delegate to said stale
convention and in addition then c to one
delegate for each joo votes, or major
fraction thetcof, cast at the general
election of 1903 for Hon. John J. Sull
ivan, for supreme judge.
Box Butto county, under this ratio,
will be entitled to six delegates.
It is recommended by the slate ecu
lull committee that in all cases where
counties select a new county committee
in the your 1904 hat said count' com
mittee be named at the fust count' con
vention held.
11 fm ther recommended that no pi ox
ies be allowed at said state convention,
unless held byu person tesiding ill the
county Which he seeks to represent.
By order of democratic state central
committee, Match 15, 1904.

The democrats of Lincoln did them
selves proud in tho city olection, almost
sweeping the platter.
The lleaist boom has struck Ohio,
and as a result, the New Yorker has
captured several delegate conventions.
It now looks as if he would lead tho
democratic hosts in the coming cam
paign. V. R. Hearst, the popular presi
dential candidate, scored a victory in
the supreme court of the U.nited States
last week in his suit against the coal
hauling combine of the anthracite region.
This signal victory was unexpected,
and coming on the eve of thu national
convention, will boom the congress
man's stock materially.
United States Senator Burton of
Kansas, who was found guilty of using
his influence before tho post office tie
paitmenfciiu behalf of the Kialto Grain
and Securities company of St. Louis,
was sentenced to six months' imprison
ment in tic Iron county jail and fined
2,500, And now every lepublican
sheet in the laud is actively engaged
throwing stones at the condemned man,
with not a word against others fully as
deep in the mire as Burton, who have
escaped the clutches of justice through
legal technicalities.
The Adams County Democrat of last
week truthfully says that the question
of assessing railroad property in Ne
braska thtsyear.proinises to he the para
mount issue again. The boaid of as
sessment and equalization will soon
meet to determine the valuation of all
rauroau property, in view ot the ex
pected increase in valuation of all other
property, the board should raise rail
road valuation a like per cent. This is
the least the board can do. Another
thing is the listing of railroad property.
Instead of bunching it, it should be list
ed like the property of private individ
uals.. So u.any depots, so many cars,
etc. It is the only lair way of getting
at the real uluc. Theu the franchise
should be valued at its real worth. Tho
right to tax freight charges against the
people of tnis state every year, for all
time at any amount is worth something.
Let the board deal fairly by the people
in this matter and no one will find fault.
"Till: MOUNTAIN I.AIIOUKI)
Columbus Teloirriim
The mountain labored and brought
forth Judge Baxter, who has been ap
pointed to succeed United States Attor
ney Summers. It is a distinct Dietrich
victory. Baxter is a Burlington favor
.te. - Dietrich is a Burlington creation
and n Buthngton asset. Roscwntcr
helped the Burlington. And that is tho
most shameful part of tho whole pro
ceeding. For thirty years Uoscwater
has been regarded by thousands of Ne
braska people as a teal antimouopolist.
Those thousands have believed that
Koscwater would always be with them
in opposition to the political demands
of the railroads. His present surrender
to the Burlington is shocking to thous
ands of Ncbraskaus , By this act he
haB thrown n black spot upon a life rec
ord to which the average Nebraska anti
monopolist has hitherto pointed with
pride. The Telegram is wholly unable
to understand the mighty pressure which
must have been brought to bear upon
Mr, Koscwater to induce him in his
later days to blot and blur his own good
record of past years. The appointment
of Judge Baxter is notice to the world
that the president of tho United States
has prepared to wash the Unclean Diet
rich and compel all good republicans to
gaze upon the foul accident from Hast
ings and sav: "Behold tne handiwork
of God an honest man."

"Bill" Fuller and Lester Van Pelt got
in a mixup last Sunday, which resulted
in each receving a few bruised spots';
however .Mr. Fuller did not feel as
though ho were ijuttc even in the deal,
so he came to town Monday to have
Lester VanPelt arrested, but according
to his own story he seems to be as
"deep in mire as Lester is in the mud,"
so no steps were taken in thn matter.

It seems tl at trouble never conies
singly to corporations as well as indi
viduals. Right on the heels of the big
prairie fire the coal sheds at this place
burned. No. 41) dumped a nile of coals
and 41 coming along blew the burning
cinders under the coal shed which soon
startod a lively blaze. Conductor Mc
Cracken was side tracked bore with his
train and blew the whistle, calling the
section men who were at dinner. The
engine was run back to tho binning
building and emptied the contents of
the boiler on the blaze, but to no pur
pose, the fire spieadiug so rapidly
that all efforts to extinguish the blaze
failed. It was soon discovered that
the freight train was on ftte and three
cars was cut off and left to go up in
the blaze. Three others caught fire but
were pushed under the pipe at the
water taukfjand the fire extinguished.
The cattle chute and a considerable
part of the stock yards fence were
burned. But for the extreme calmness
of the day several residences would
have been consumed. Carpenter Blade
and a gang of workmen are here build
ing a temporary shed, which will soon
bo ready for use.

.THE EHPIRE
separator;
The Labor Saver and Money
Maker for the Farmer.
i0
A
VERY LARGE percentage
farms. In fact, no farmer
most valuable of farm machines,
The use of a good Ifand cream separator means that every user of such a machine will be well repaid
for their labor in connection with the keeping of cows, and that there will be a handsome profit derived as
well. The use of a good hand cream separator mentis more profit and less work. The advantages of using' a
hand cream separator are many. It lessens labor; it enables one to get more cream and better cmality of
cream than by older methods; it leaves you the warm, fresh, sweet skim milk for yoar calves or other young
stock; it does away with the long, tedious drives to the creamery station; it enables one to keep all thoir milk
at home except the cream that it is desired to sell, and saves the hauling both to and from town of the large
number of cans necessary where the whole milk is taken away from the farm for the skimming. There is no
comparison between the amount of labor necessary in keeping cows under the old and new system. The hand
cream separator is a machine that has made dairying pleasant and profitable instead of irksome and unprofit
able. It makes the difference between good methods and bad methods. It makes a difference between irk
some labor and pleasant employment.
Many larmers tell us that they make a better profit by shipping us their cream than by making butter
at home and peddling it to their country merchants, who make it necessary for them to trade it out at their
stores. Under the EMPIRE way of dairying you haul a can or two of cream to town in a buggy or light
wagon and receive cash for the same twice a month. SVe pav prices based on tho New York butter market at
all seasons of the year, for cream from any good make of separator, delivered at your nearest railway station
or at our rccaiving station in Alliance.
We sell the splendid, easy running EMPIRE Hand Cream Separator because it's without a doubt the
best separator made for general farm use. It is cajy to run. easy to clean, and few complicated parts to wear
out or get out of order. .
If you are hvfetestod in a cream separator, drop mc a card and you can try one at vour home before
buying. Sold on easy terms when desired. fcZ3h!
