Kxplninig his determination to woik for Parker, Gen. Avety said: "My chief reason is the fear of President Roosevelt's personality as a president. I think that a good many older men of the Republican patty are opposed to his constant talk of war and the nour ishing pf the 'big stick' bv the picscnt administration. I do not know Judge Pailor.

A Pleasing Musical Recital. Mae Shumway Endcily gave an elo cutionary and song tecital at the Methodist chinch Wednesday evening which was hoaitily appreciated by the large audience piesent. The piogiam tendeted was one of met it and the heaity applunso and encore proved conclusively that Mrs. Kndeily had made a hit with her hearers. The rectt alist has a full conception of what is re quired in her line of strulv and with her petsonal sucngthof character bringsout every interesting point. Natmo was also liberal to the lady in a musical sense. Possessing a sweet voice, which, like her literary education, has been well trained, she intersperses the pro gram with songs. In the musical num bers Mrs. Enderly was ably assisted by Mrs. S. D. Cox who presided at the piano. The instrumental .selections given by Mrs. Cox were greeted with hearty applause and she was compelled to rerrder more than were on the pro gram. Judging from the pleased ex pression on the faces of thu people present it is evident that Mrs. Endetly has won many admirers and should she decide to again appear irr Alliance doubtless a packed house will greet her. The Epworlh League is to be con gratulated upon becming such a pleas- Nothing bhould jittract your atten tion from state issues this year.

David H. Hill has declaircd his in tcrrtorr to retire from politics after the election. It i's our candid opinion that there are many politicians in Nebraska who will retire about that time. Hey, Mickey'. The Presidential Situation. The following compilation of elect oral votes as gathered by the host politi cal authority gives a most encouraging forecast of the situation in the presi dential campaign and the result will prove most encouraging from a demo cratic standpoint. The rnunbor of electoral votes required to win is 239 and according to the total of the votos given Judge Parkor will have 249, or 10 more than the required number. Even, the best authority of the republi can party concede the vote as here given with the exception of New York and Indianna, Iu these states the en thusiasm for the democratic ticket has increased to such an extent that the alarm is given by the Republican national committee and to secure the ing progiam for the entertainment of our citizens. James Snllcnucrger Injured. The Laramie (Wyo.) Press has the following concerning an accident which befell J. M, Sulleirbcrgcr, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sullerrbergcr of Mainland: "J. M. Sullenberger, single and resid ing at Mrs. M. J. Hunter's on Fremont street, was brought to the city yester day for medical treatment. Ho is a brakeman and was on top of his ca boose at Dana at 10 o'clock yesterday forenoon. The jerking of the engine threw Mr. Sullonbergcr to the track from the top of the caboose, injuring; his back and rendering him uncon scious until he reached almost home.

He will be laid up for some time, although no bones were urokon. v Laiur Mr. Sulleirbergor was taken to St, Anthony's hospital, Denver, whore on more through examination it was found that one arrrr was broken. A Wonderful Steer. The following story is told hero of the antics of a large steer which was being shipped enroute to Omaha one day this. A journal orr the car iu which the animal was being shipped be came overheated to such an extent that a wheel came off lotting the corner of the car drop almost to the track. This was too uncomfortable for Mr. Stoer so he slips out the end door which had slid open and got down under the car and walked along with it on top of him until the trainmen were made aware of the accident to the train.

If he will carefully read the paragraph again the meaning will become plain. First it st'ited what actually transpired. Then it was meant to direct a criticism at the regula tions of the government which a majority of the ranchmen rogard as ineffective. They think that the way to stamp out a disease is to stamp it out. It was not meant to score an individual for carrying out the orders of his department however unjust those orders might appear to be to those interested. It was mont to indicate dissatisfaction at such a ruling as was mentioned. To the People: Trade at Frohnapfol's where you get the most for your money. He has .1 new stock all the way through.

Norbert Frohn apfel. Conductor Grainger was arrested and fined Tuesday for keeping the crossings closed an unwarranted length of time. It is reported that he got off easy and with only a little loas of time. The train men have a hard time working for Jim Hill and it is probably hard work to get a train over the road. But with all that they ought not to hold the crossings as longasmauy trains do. A story is told of Supt Phelan which bears closely on the subject we are discuss ing. There was a train crew arrested at Crawford according to the version told here on a charge similar to the foregoing. The conductor wired to the superintendant asking what he should do. Mr. Phelan is said to have answered- "If you are too lazy to cut the crossings pay your fine and go on." The story is very popular with the farmers illustrating as it does their contention as to why the crossings are so often closed. MARSLAND. moved back from There was considerable wonder and speculation last spring when our merchants took such an interest in the "Presbyterian potato patch." Day after day a fat and a lean man could be seen wending their way over the hill to that tater patch. The mystory was solved Sunday night when the paltor delivered a very forceful ser mon from the words "Owe no man any thing, etc.," and the mutual exchange of labor seems to have had good results for on Monday morning a delinquent customer who owed 25 cents for a pair of socks, rushed to the store to have the time ex tended.
