IllA L. MlLTONIlKllGEK. Talk about cattle prices! Last Wed nesday forty-three fed yearling Short horns, mixed steers and heifers, weigh ing 891 pounds ench, sold nt Sioux City for $9.20 per hundred. This 1b said to have been the highest price evor paid in tho United States for cattle of this weight. When a yearling brings $82.00 it is time to quit eating beef. Amid much enthusiasm on the part of 1,100 delegates, Theodore Roose velt wus nominated for president by the national progressive party at Chicago Wednesday evening. For vice-president Governor Hiram Johnson, of California was nominated. Tho nv erago democrat is now happy; 'with three tickets in tho field he fels as sured of tho election of Woodrow Wilson. Men who travel in tho state are lorgely at vnrinncein theirpredictions as to what the result will bo in the No vember election. Some insist that Itoosovolt will bo a poor third in the state; others that Taft will prove stronger than ho was four years ago, othors say Wilson will havoa larger voto than Taft nnd Roosevelt com bined, and still others insist that Roosevelt will Bwcep tho statc.Just at this time predictions are tho weak est kind of guesses; the nextjiinoty days , may bring some wonderful changeB in the political condition in the state. Roosevelt's Confession of Faith. Colonel Roosevelt delivered an ad dress ut the opening of tho third party convention at Chicago Tuesday which ho termed his "confession of faith." His political friends in sisted that ho delay his address until tho platform had been presented to tho convention, but this ho Uatly refused, declaring that tho platform must meet his approval, that it must conform with his confession of faith or else ho would nol'nccopt tho nomination. In other words Roosevelt is tho platform as well ns tho candidate, mutual de liberation was cut out -there is but one map in tho now party and that is Theodore. Tho Kearney Hub reviews tho ad dress as follows: Virtually Roosevelt repudiates all established conditions, Xho old political parties aro condemned. Tho right of tho people to rule is as serted, yet nt the first jump ho os Bumosnn absolute dictatorship in the or ganization of tho new party, both as to creed nnd candidate. Tho trust proposal is in harmony with tho wishes of tho trusts them selves. Ho proposes that thoy bo reg ulated by commission. They desire to protect thomselvcs with government license, under nominal government control, but in fact tho trusts to draw tho linos by which tho commission's regulation will be gauged. Social, la bor and industrial -mutters, widoly speaking, are to be investigated, ana lyzed, and adjusted in much tho same manner. The agricultural interests of the country aro to bo promoted by moans of a country lifo commission whose work of course can bo merely educational. As to tho tariff thoro should bo a again a commission non-partiBan, to tell ua all what wo don't know about tariffs. But his commission really gots no farther than the present tariff board. Generally Bpeaking, he is sound on tho tnrrlff, for he declares that tho substi tution of tariff for revenue for tho pro tective systom, as proposed by tho democratic pnrty, would plunge the country into "tho most widespread in dustrial depression wo have evor seon." In the matter of tho high cost of living he finds tho tariff is not guilty, and proposes "a non-partisan body of exports ' to investigate. No present remedy is proposed ' In the final summing up it must bo confessed that Roosevelt has given us mighty little suggestion of unything now and oven loss hint of remedies for thoovils that he assails. Ho has thrown together, as he himself suggested, both socialism nnd anarchy, liberally spiced with populism, with enough of substaneo from our good every day principles to savour tho lump, and closing with an infringement on Billy Sunday's style of spcoch-"Wo stand at Armageddon, and wo bnttlo for tho Lord." And this he might much bettor have loft unsaid. Can ho found a party on this so-called Roosovelt "confession of faith?" He can doubtless creato an organization that can cut a considerable figure in tho present campaign and possibly accom? pllsh the and at which ho alms, viz: The dofoat of tho republlcun party, but wo do not sco that it offers groat induce ment for a soveroign citizen who can read history and trace its parallels. Telephone Exchange Reception. An interesting event of the fore port of tho week was the informal epening of tho Nebraska Telephono Company. In responso to the invitations sent out, eight hdndrcd people visited the ronms nnd viewed all the branches of tho plant. Tho stairway, hall and doorways were elaborately decorated in whito and bluo streamers and largo bells. John Baker, Jr., received the guests at tho cntranco and guided them to the main hall where they were met by ManagorBruce Brown nnd G. O. Plomis who extended greetings and directed them to the terminal room in charge of Wire Chief Stow, Joseph Corona and Harry Bybee. Here the largo cables containing 4000 Conner wires, aro connected to the fuses. These fuses of which there are two for every wire, furnish protec tion from lightning and other electric wires. In this room is also located tho wire chief's test board, an instrument for testing lines and locating tho trouble, the two ringing machines for ringing the subscribers telephones. Ono machino is operated from tho city current and tho other is operated from the storage batteries and is to be used in case of accident to tho city plant. Tho Mercury Arc Rectifier also at tracted a great deal attention. This machine Is a lato invention which trans forms the alternating current received from the city plant, to direct current of the proper proportion, by passing tho current thro a spray of mercury. The current thus transformed is stored in 22 cells of the storage battery. This method of storing tho current at the central office insures tho proper amount of current at all times for every tele phone, and by moans of ingenious auto matic switches, the battery is increased in voltage for long distance work, making distinct conversation possible to points at as great a distance as New York. Adjourning this room is a comfortable rest room for the young lady operators who arc given a half hour rest during the day. Tho apartment is fitted up with coaches, rockers and prttty rugs. Tho nine girls employed each work eight and one-half hours. Tho new switch board was next ex plained by Chief Operator Miss Carrie Fryo nnd other employes of the company who elenrly demonstrated tho manner In which calls are mado nnd answered according to tho now method. About eight hundred phones arc installed in tho city and every call is promptly answered. In tho flower room each visiting lady was presented with carnations and the gentlemen with cigars. Mosdamca Brown, Byboe, Stow and Miss Helen Davidson preside 1. All who attended feel that they spent a profitable and enjoyable evening nnd are well satisfied with our new tele phone system. 150 Attend Picnic. One hundred and fifty members of tho Methodist church and Sunday school held a picnic at the Birdwood grovo Wednesday, making the trip by hacks, carriages, nutos and train ser vice. Under tho management of tho ladies' aid society a big dinner was served, about 75 chickens being among tho provender consumed. During the afternoon 250 ice cream cones wero served. A program of athletic stunts was pulled off and afforded plenty of amusement. The ball gamo between Mrs. Hlnman's class, captained by William Davis, and pick up nine of ladies and men resulted In a score of two to one in favor of tho boys, Frank Weaver and Russell Langford proving to be a star battory. No accidents occurred to mar tho pleasures of tho crowd and all had a jolly good time. II. Hoide, of Denvor, who has been visiting in town for'a month will loave tomorrow.

Buckley. Somo will remember meeting Rev. J. II. Buckley when he was in North Platte during the forepartof April. Mr. Mr. Buckley was General Missionary for the American Sunday School Union, with head quarters at Omaha. His visit to North Platte was in the financial in terests of that society. Those who mot him will be surprised to learn of his death which occurred on July 2 1th, after about a week's illness. Mr. Buckley had been in the Sunday School missionary work for about thirty three years. His life wa3 a marveloi s illustration of the good that can, come through the Sunday school. At tjio ago of fourteen years he was compelled by his father to cither give up gpjing to Sunday school or leave home. He chose the latter course, and, after nine years spent nway from homo, during which time he obtained an education, returned to his homo. While he witnessed tho conversion of his father, mothon brothers and sister. About half of the thirty-three years spent in Sunday 3?hool missionary work was in the employ of the Baptist church, while tlio remainder was un,dr tho American Sunday School Union. 'Dur ing tho first ten years of his work under the latter society ho organized about one hundred Sunday schools and saw about fifteen hundredjfpeople con verted to Christ through their in strumentality. The work ho has laid down will bo carried forward by others. We trust it may have God's continuodjblessing upon it. XX Union Realty and Investment Company. Paid up Capital $50,000.

Pale Faces Pale-faced, weak, .and Bhaky women who suffer every day with womanly weakness need the help of a gentle tonic, with a building action on the womanly system. If you are weak you need Cardui, the woman's tonic, because Cardui will act directly on the cause of your trouble. Cardui has a record of more than 50 years of success. It must be good. Th Woman's Tonic Mrs. Effie Graham, of Willard, Ky., says: "I was so weak I could hardly go. I suffered, nearly every month, for 3 years. When I began to take Cardui, my back hurt awfully. I only weighed 99' pounds. Not long after. I weighed 115. Now, I do all my work, and am in good health.' Begin taking Cardui, today. D1RECTORS- B. BUCHANAN, Sec'y and Trcas. of Expenses. Notice.
