" According to a notice in last ^tek’s Plain-Dealer, Seth Woods mx- Atkinson has signed a statement <&^the effect that he has not forsaken Bryan as reported two weeks ago. Tl$e Frontier makes the correction; \it\s glad to do so; it wants to circu fife nothing bnt facts, and it needs nothing bnt facts in politics. More 2far, republicans have enough with* hat Mr. Woods. '''Samuel Barnard of this city is another old-time demoerat who has 'deserted the Bryan party and' come <Jul for McKinley and the flag. X>anng the memorable campaign of B&6, Mr. Bryan had no more en thusiastic follower than Sam. He w^s honest and sincere in the belief ffcit nnleas Bryan and free silver came ont on top the oountry would go to Halifax a flying. Bryan said so^and of coarse he knew. Well, his into failed to reach the Whitehonse instead of the rain and^disaster icted oame the fall dinner pail widespread impetus to all ds and classes of business. La was again employed at good yages and everybody is prosperous af»d happy. “That," says Mr. Barn Sjxjd, “is enough for me. His pro phesies have been unfulfilled while |hose the republicans have come e and I am henceforth a republi can and shall take specioal pride and oeiight in easting my first republi vote for those gallant and ’ patriotic statesmen, William Mc Kinley and Theodore BoosevelL” . Jt A An example of the folly of fools comes from Forest Hill, N. J. Sixty of the highest paid men in the world went out oa a stike last week to force the big jewelry firm of Tiffany & Co. to recognize the cop perplate engravers nnion in the matter of apprenticeship. The men were being paid #50 to $100 a week each. The firm annonnoed that it wonld dose down that branch of its business rather than conform to the strikers’ demands. It would do those men good to be jobless for a while. Thomas Berry, who lives eighteen miles north of O'Neill, in Paddock township, is one of the Holt county pioneers and has always been an un compromising democrat, never vot ing anything else, when a demo cratic ticket was in Aight. In IBM he worked and voted for the election of W. J. Bryan, but says he cannot do so this fall. He will vote for MoKinley and the republican ticket, being convinced that the republican party is the party of prosperity, progress and true Americanism. And there are many others. -- The republicans of this oounty ezeroised exceptionally good sense in naming the supervisor ticket. In the first distriot Silas Bohr is a can didate and beyond question no better selection could have been made. Mr. Bohr is a man of business ability and does things by the common sense method. Down in the Seventh district Mr. Grimes is going to be elected by a good majority because of the confidence the people have in him, while in the Third Bob Marsh will tbraBh young Sullivan out of his boots. - It seems to as that the interests of the republican party could be better served if republicans would quit scrapping over who is going to be the United States senator, put their shoulder to the wheel and work for the success of the state and legislative tickets. After elec tion will be time enough to start on the work of eleoting senators. This senseless scrapping will not redound to any good and those engaged in it should not be encouraged. Any republican, who is an Amerioan oitizen and a oitizen of Nebraska, has a right to aspire to this offioe and the heaping of malidiotions on a few men because they are aspirants is not a good way to prove republi canism. Let us get through with one eleotion before we start on another. -» «»» .«■..— If any republican tells you that the trust is a good thing, ask him why the republican platform de nounces the trust. If a republican says that the trust is a bad thing, ask him why a republican adminis tration allowed more trusts to be organized than were ever organized in all the previous history of the country.” The foregoing is from a speech by Mr. Bryan at Laporte, Ind., September 1. The question of Prof Gunton’s is pertinent in this con neotion: “Is it possible that Mr. Bryan doesn’t know that the admin istration has no more to do with 'allowing’ trusts to organize than it has with allowing the sun to rise?” Trust are organized under state laws and the national administration has no more authority over them than the humblest citizen. The Ameri can people are asked to take Mr. Bryan seriously as a statesman. It is interesting to watch the in genuity with which southern people invent disfranchising schemes against tho negro. An old but still growing southern sentiment is to exact ed ucational qualifications from the colored men at the polls, readiog and writing being a requsite of voting. This would not be a bad arrangement if it effected white and black alike, but it is a manifest in justice to exclude one and include the other. Still it would not be so bad were the negroes granted the priviledges of education. But on top of the educational test comes the closing of the school doors to oolored children, making education well nigh impossible. New Orleaus has recently decided to discontinue all grammar school education for oolored children and admit them only to the primary grade. The BRYAN’S PROSPERITY.

State of Nebraska, Lancaster County, ss. I, D. A. Frye, county clerk of Lancaster county, Nebraska, do hereby certify that the foregoing is a true and correct statement of the personal property listed for taxation by W. J. Bryan, and of the assessed valuation thereof as appears by the returns of the assessors of the Fifth ward of the city of Lincoln, in said county, for the years above enumerated, viz.: 1893, 1894, 189.5, 1896, 1897, 1898, 1899 and 1900. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of said county this 22d day of September, 1900. (Seal) D. A. FRYE, County Clerk. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ee southern ides, in the abstract, amounts to, first, an educational test for colored people, and second, re striction of education so that they shall never be able to meet that test. This is certainly discouraging to the negro, but the south cannot perma nently adjust the colored question in any such unfair and unjust manner. L. C. Chapman, republican can didate for county attorney, is pledged to discontinue the tax lien foreclosures if elected unless other wise ordered by the board. Art | Mullen, populist candidate for oounty attorney, is planning onj entering into a wholesale business of tax lien foreclosures. This is a matter of interest to the taxpayers of Holt county for the reason that if Mr. Mullen’s scheme is carried out endless bills of expense will be piled up against the oounty. The county is not going to lose any tax money on land that is any good and that which is no good will never be paid if ten thousand fore closures are instituted. Each sale entails a big bill of expense, which in many 'cases must come out of the county instead of the individual or corporation land owner. Holt oounty voters should guard their interests by setting down on Mr. Mullen at the polls. --- The pops and demos are on the run, boys—keep ’em going. Polaoitaf rich with ComIm Large numbers of fish are being poisoned In the Little Miami river, Ohio, especially in the vicinity of Branch Hill and Remington. Mem bers of the different camping clubs in this section have found fine fish which had succumbed to "dope balls’’ used by "pot fishermen." Parties have been on the lookout for the men and the other evening a member of the Corryville club, which is camped neai Remington, saw a man planting the bait. He escaped, however. Some of the bait was secured. It consisted of corn meal mixed into a pellet and sat urated with cocaine. This stupefies the fish and they come to the sur face. As a general thing they die from the effeots of the drug. Robbed Tbe Grave. A startling incident, is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows: “I was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken’ tongue coated, pain continually in the back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. The I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great joy, tbe first bottle made a decided improvement. I con tinued their use for three weeks and am now a well man. I know they robbed the grave of another victim.” No one should fail to try them. Only 50c. guaranteed,at P. C Corrigan drugstore. Drift to tho Cities. The Chicago Tribune directs atten tion to the interesting fact that “while the population of the country at largo has increased about 20 per cent during the last decade, the three principal centers of populs*«on. New York, Chi cago and Philadelphia, have gained 44 per cent.” The cities will continue to grow so long as they offer employment and livelihood to increasing popula tion. It all turns on employment. When that ceases to increase the growth of the cities will cease, and will not be forced by mere desire on the part of persons in the country to live in the town.—Spokane Spokesman Review. An Open Letter How many who read this are afflicted with constipation, indigestion or atom* ach trouble of some kind, and the con sequent torturing, sick headaohes, es pecially prevelent among women? You have used patent medicines and drugs that have weakened your digestive organs until loss of sleep and a general illhealth is the result. To the many who are thus afflicted I simply want to say that in nearly every instance you can be restored to perfect health and vigor by osteopathy. Consultation and advice will cost you nothing, and if you will call at our office in O’Neill we will gladly make an examination and tell you whether or not you can be cured and about how long it will take. NOT UNPLEASANT. Our treatment is not unpleasant or annoying, as many might suppose, and we believe it is the only logical and permanent cure for stomach troubles and the many diseases and ailments arising as a natural result of such trouble. BE TREATED AT HOME. We can give you the same attention and treatment in O’Neill, and perhaps better than you could by going to Chicago or some eastern hospital to un dergo treatment for the many cases that seem to be amendable only to osteopa thy. We do not cla’m to perform mir acles but we do claim to effect perma nent and perfect cures in many cases of long standing. Chronic troubles that have been given up as incurable by physicians every where, osteopathy curses where all else fails. There is absolutely no ailment that a pnysician of the old school of medicine would undertake to treat, except the surgical, that the osteopathist cannot more successfully treat. While it is only the cases given up as incurable by their physicians that as a general rule are numbered among our first patients, yet how much easier, less ex pensive and more permanent would be the cure of llmsc suffering from the lesser and acme troubles by tbe science of osteopothy. IT COSTS YOU NOTHITG. If you are sick and want to be cured, come and talk with us. If we cannot help you we will frankly tell vou so. DR8. KINSLOW, j O’Neill, . Nebraska. WU'S laundryman, MU taken by Green Reporter tor Lega tion Attache. An Interesting story is told apropos of a reporter’s zeal to obtain news from the Chinese legation in Wash ington, D. C., regarding affairs in Pe kin. He was an enterprising young fellow sent by his editor to take the place of the regular Washington cor respondent, who was away on his va cation, and he had spent the whole morning in the vicinity of the lega tion endeavoring to pick up some thing, not knowing that the most di rect way would have been to see Min ister Wu himself, who is invariably kind about granting Interviews. He was about to abandon his project vhen an intelligent looking and well dressed Chinaman came down the steps of the legation and responded so pleasantly to his greeting that he bombarded him with a whole list of questions, to which the polite Celestial repeatedly answered: "Dun know, dun lcn6w.” Finally quite desperate at his inability to make something out of what he looked upon as a rare chance, a walk with one of the legation’s secretaries, he asked, appealingly: "Well, surely you know something of the dowager empress; what do you think of her?" "Me no thinkee,’’ responded the China man, "me washee,’’ and with this parting announcement he disappeared into a laundry near by, of which he turned out to be the proprietor.—San Francisco Argonaut.
