Farmers Can Afford Cars.
A Chicago special to tho Omaha Bco
says: Officials of representative banks
located in the county sents of fifty-four
counties pf Nebraska deny that the
credit in that state has been impaired
by the purchase of automobiles, and in
all except one instance declare that it
has not been necessary for the farmers
to give a mortgage to purchase one of
the modern flyers
Tho denials are in answer to a s BJoaj
of six questions addressed to these ban
kers in letters sent out by Geo. W. Ma
son, Chicago manager of the Omaha
Beo, and Tho Twentieth Century Far
mer. Arthur McNamra, president of tho
First National of this city sent in the
following reply:
"In this section only the farmers who
are able to buy machines own them.
We feel that farmers have as much
right to purchase automobiles at tho
present time as they had to buy horses
and carriages in tho past. We believe
farmera aro living better and enjoying
more luxuries for tho reason they can
afford it."
Becker-Aclcerman Wedding.
At tho W. H. Dionor residence in
the Third Ward Wednesday evening
occured the wedding of Miss Katherine
Becker and William Ackerman, both
of this city. Tho ceremony was per
formed by Rev. Harmon, of tho Luth
eran church, and witnessed by a small
number of guests, only intimate friends
and relatives of tho couple.
The bride was gowned in a beautiful
und very becoming dress of silk, trimmed
with lace. Sho was attended by hor
cousin Miss Mary Becker who also wore
white silk. The groom was attended
by John Becker, brother of the bride.
Following tho cermony a weddingsup
per was Served and the yonng couple
left on the midnight train for Cass
county where the bride's mothermakes
her home. After a two weeks' visit
they will make this city their home.
The bride formerly made her home in
Gandy, but for somo time past has been
making her homo in this city and has
won a largo circle of friends who join
in extending their best wishes to tho
young couple. Mr. Ackerman, a son
of Mr. and Mrs. August Ackerman,
north of town, is a steady upright young
man with a host of friends. He is in
the employ of tho railroad company at
tho freight depot.
Ex-Governor Frank S. Black, of New
York, writes for iho press a brief ar
ticle on what ho considers tho danger
to tho republican party. Briefly summed
up his conclusion is this: "Men fight
better in companies than any one of
mem would detached, bcatter your
army in fragments and your last cam
paign has been won. The republican
party is now facing this danger. We
seem to have thrown away our party
guns and knapsacks and aro now visiting
in tents hitherto of doubtful rcputa
tion." Mr. Black puta the thing per
fuctly straight. It is time for thostrag.
glors to get buck into camp.
With Aldrich and Dahlman as tho
gubernatorial candidates, the is:mo
in this campaign will be county
option to the exclusion of all others
questions. Dahlman stands for "per
sonal liberty" in its broadest application;
ho opposes county option and says ho
will vote such n measure if passed by
tho legislature, nnd is also opposed to
tho eight o'clock alosiug law. In 6thot
words he is in faVor of Nebraska bointf
wider open than at present. Aldrich
believes that county option is right in
theory and correct in practice, and that
all the people of tho county Bhouid say
whether liquor shall bo sold in tho
county. Botli candidates are plain and
unequivocal in their respective position;
neither bent about tho bush.

BEFORE AND AFTER.
Moses P. O'Brien claim agent of tho
C. B. & 0. R. R. company, was in
tho city Tuesday, and as evidence that
he is not lacking in tho wit, . which
has made the race from wh ich ho
sprung, kindly contributes tho following;
"Tho farmer said to James his Son:
"Old Dobbin's usefulness is done; I'vo
worked him now for thirty years, and
whilo it fills my eyes with tears to have
to shoot him through tho head, its bet
tor for him to bo dead."
The Son replied: "A railway train
has saved us all tho grief and pain; Old
Dobbin got upon tho track, a train came
up and broko his back." "Great
Spoons", the farmer cried,"I'llwrito a
letter to the road tonight; I'll see if it
can maim and slay fine-blooded stock
and get away.
That hoss 'was sired by Norman
Chimes, that won tho Derby seven
times, I just was thinking Bitting horo,
that I would show him at tho fair, and
take in first or second prize. That hobs
could gallop for a week and then get
down nnd trot a streak.
I scarcely ever go to town but men
with money run mo down, and nsk if
Dobbin is for sale; when I tell them
no, they fairly wail.
And Dobbin's dead, my cherished
steed.
The daggone road that made him
bleed will pay hlB valuo if there's law
or justica west of Omaha. A thousand
bones and nothing less will take tho'
edgo off my distress."
