Advertisements are sometimes misleading. Probably you have al
ready found this out for yourself, and do not need to be informed of the
fact. The patronage which results from our store announcements comes
to us because the people of the city and vicinity have learned that our
printed promises are as good as our bond. We would not enjoy our
present standing in the community were this not so, The prices we"
quote below on reliable general merchandise should interest every per
son who reads this ad, and we think that they will.

that communications signed 'i'opu
Hst" and published in republican
f apcrs are written by republicans,
n this particular instance, at least,
Mr. Copper is wrong. I am a popu
list, believe firmly In populist prin
ciples and stand ever ready to work
for those principles, but when a
gang1 of so-called reformers, whose
only object in being populists is to
seek aud gain office, attempt to
control the populist party in order
to further their own personal in
terests onl. then I am ready to
rebel and take such action as I
think best for the real interests of
the populist nartv.
The communication in your paper
ot ten tlays ago voices my senti
ments precisely. The present gang
of so-called reformers in Lincoln
county is the finest sample of anti
reformers known of men. This
gang has lived and fattened on of
ficial spoils for nearly ten years,
nnd they will continue to do so for
another ten years if they are per
mitted. 'When the first large popu
list convention was held in Lincoln
county and Butler Buchanan sought
the office of county clerk, and was
defeated for the nomination the
gang, headed bv Garrison and
Buchanan, fought down and defeat
ed the entire populist ticket. They
asserted that they would cither rule
or ruin the populist party, and they
have since so far controlled the or
ganization that all members of the
original gang have held office. So
exclusive hove they become that
only members of their charming
circle are adjudged capable of hold
ing county offices.
They have so far failed to accomp
lish any good except for IhcniBelvca;
and not having made a record on
which they can stand before the
people, they seek to use the trusts,
the Philippine war and theEuglis'i
Boer war ns capital for their county
campaign. Anything to fool the
people; anything Jo catch votes.
Lucien Stebbins, the founder and
orignator of the populist party m
Nebraska, who quickly discovered
and exposed the sham and fraud
ulent intentions of these alleged
reformers, is abused and denounced
because he has had the courage to
dec'are himsclt against them. To
day Stebbins, so far as political
purity is concerned, iB as high above
the members of the gang as heaven
is above hell. As a populist I be
lieve that the rotten combination of
reformers and office seekers should
be defeated this fall, and the way
to do this is to vote the republican
ticket. This is the only way to
overthrow the gang, and when they
are once overthrown, the populist
party of the county can then be re
organized in accordance with popu
list principles, and become a power
for good, and not a party whose
sole object is to perpetuate the of
fice trust.
When the populist party was first
organized it had as leaders in the
state such men as John Powers,
but Powers and Ins co-workers
have been relegated to the rear;
they were too honest and conscien
tious to suit the state gang. The
original populist principles have
been laid aside, aud office, office, of
fice, is the only object the party as
at present conducted has in view.
Let us crush the men aud the
candidates who have brought our
party into such a disreputable con
dition; then honest populists will
have a chance to reorganize and
carry out the reforms which are
needed.
A Popumst.
Holcomb nnd tho Labor Unions.
In th early part of the summer
of 1897 the Central Labor Union of
Omaha unanimously endorsed and
supported T. F. Sturgess for ap
pointment as one of the state com
missioners of the Trnusmississippi
exposition. In addition to the en
dorsement of the Central Labor
Union. Mr. Sturgess was endorsed
by a dozeu or more of the leading
citizens of Omaha, and A. H Don

and causes them to expand without dis

for the position, withdrew in Stur
gess' favor. Mr. Sturgess filed his
application and endorsements with
Governor Holcomb, and later had
an interview with the governor, the
latter assuring him that his appli
cation would be carefully consider
ed. Mr. Sturgess did not personal
ly Beck the appointment, for auy pc
cuniary reason, but because of or
ganized labor's desire to be repre
sented on the commission. But
when the time came for the ap
pointment of the commissioners,
Sturgess was turned down and by
doing so Governor Holcomb gave
organized labor a direct slap in the
face. In milking his report to the
labor union Mr. Sturgess referring
to the action of the goycrnor sayHt
"I cannot attribute his action in
the matter to any feeling against
me, but rather that he was unwill
ing to give any official recognition
to the interest (organized labor)
which I represented."
Holcomb is now seeking the sup
port of organized labor in the state
but he is likely to find the attitude
of union labor reflected in the fol
lowing1 comment made by the Wes
tern Laborer on the incident:
Workingmon ot Douglas county nnd

Tho Now Timo Card.
The new time card, No. 6, went
into effect Sunday. It made ouite
a few changes in the schedulcB of
the pashenger trains, most of them
beneficial changes, as far as North
lJlatle is concerned. Train No. 6
known as the Atlantic lOxpress now
runs from Ogden to Omaha. It
practically takes the place of the
train 011 the old card which was
known as the first section of train
No. 2. Train No. 102 is made up
here from the equipment of train
No. 4 and train No, G and leaves
here at 8:20 a. in. Train No. 6
reaches here at 8:15 a. m. and leaves
nt 8:30. It etops at Hershey and
Sutherland on flag. .Kegular train
No. 2, which is the new fast train
reaches here at 11:30 a 111 nud
leaveb at 11:35. No transportation
of any character is honored on this
train. Trains No. 4 and No. 104
are handled very much the same as
they were on the old card, train N.
4 is known as the "Local pnhfien
ger" until it reaches here. Train
No. 1, the "Overland Limited,"
reaches here at 3:55 p. m. Train
No. 101 the "Fast Mail ' reaches
here at 4:30 p. in. It will carry a
,coach from Council WnlTa to Ogden
and will do local work. Train No
5ieachcH here the same time as it
did on the old card but it will cense
to do local work west of here. Train
No. 2'h time is very much shortened,
the run from Sidney here being
made in two hours nnd forty min
utes. Between tho ID vera.
