In order to prove to all our friends that the Majestic
is the most perfect range on the market, we have
arranged for a Cooking Exhibit lasting one week.
During this exhibit we will have a Majestic Range
in operation and show our friends that it will bake
better and quicker, heat more water and heat it quicker,
with less fuel than any other range made.
We don’t ask you to believe all our statements but do
ask you to call at our store any time during the exhibit,
and we will convince you that the Majestic is exactly as
represented.
Don’t fail to give us a call—note the date.
Free D\irirvg Week;

We will give One Set of Majestic Ware Free to any
one purchasing a Great Majestic Range during this
exhibit. We make the broad statement that this set of
ware is the finest ever offered for sale—not a piece of
tin in the entire set. We have the ware at our store; if
you will call and see the set you will agree with us that
it can’t be bought for less than $7.50.
Biscuits baked in three minutes and served with
delicious hot coffee to all who call. Be sure and come.

As convention day draws nigh It
becomes more apparent than ever
that J. M. O’Neill, of Lancaster
county, will be the choice of the con
vention for state auditor.
H. M. Eaton, at present deputy
commissioner ot public lands and
buildings, seems to be in the lead for
the republican nomination for that
office. Mr. Eaton has made a good
official and his many friends believe
that he is entitled to the plum as a
reward of merit.
By securing the passage of his 640
acre homestead bill Judge Klnkaid
has done more for western Nebraska
and the state at large than all the
others who ever represented this
portion of the state in the halls of
congress. ____
Through force of habit of assailing
everything republican, the fusionists
are attempting to make a big fuss
over the new revenue law. The Fron
tier has nothing to say of the man
who finds he has a ligitimate kich
after the summing up of the findings
of the assessors, but it looks verj
much like a “holler” from the fellows
who have been dodging taxes foi
years. The new law in no sense raises
the assessment; it simply fills up thi
loop holes through which tax shirkers
have been able to crawl and secure;
fair and honest assessment. Let tb
law have a fair trial and if it prove
to be at fault it can easily b
remedied.
MR. HARRINGTON HEARD FROM
In declining to be a candidate for
the office of govenor M. F. Harring
ton, our townsman, has pointed out
several reforms which he claims to be
in favor of.
Granting for argument sake that
all the reforms mentioned are good,
can Mr. Harrington get a way from
the fact that when the fusionists had
control of every branch of the state
government, that they failed absolute
ly to carry out any of these good
things?
Granting further for argument sake
only, that if Mr. Harrington was
elected governor he would carry out
these reforms, the fact remains that
he declines to be a candidate, so there
is no hope from that source.
Now taking all the above into con
sideration, will Mr. Harrington state
over his signature that he has a man
in mind that is prominent in the
fusion party and has one chance
in one hundred of being nominated,
that he would personally vouch for,
to carry out the reforms he points
out as being desired. Mr. Harrington
need not name the man he has in
mind as that might be embarassing.
What Did the "Nobles” Do?
Schuyler Free Lance: The editor
of the O’Neill Independent asnwers
the questioh in this paper as to what
good did the populist movement do in
Nebraska by saying that it ridded the
state house of “a host of ignoble
thieves, embezzlers and rascals.” Also
that it produced “some great and
honored men,” adding: "We will
mention a few of the names which
are engraven upon the eternal walls
of Time in glittering letters of ever
lasting glory, there to live on and
forever shine upon the fairest pages
of our country’s history: W. J. Bryan,
Judge Holcomb, Senator Allen, W.
H. Thompson, Congressman Robinson,
Victor Vifquain, Patrick Barry, M.
F. Harrington, Smythe, Metcalf,
Hitchcock, Beck, Freeman, Sullivan,
Governor Poynter, Powers and a host
of others like illustrious and noble
! men.”
i Yes, we know that the cleaning out
, of the Bartley gang in the state house
, was a good job and that the fusion
movement produced some wonderfully
* “noble” men, but what did the
5 movement accomplish for the good ol
the people when it was in^absolutc
power In the state and in shape to do?
Did they rid the state of the railroad
pass which is the root of all corpora
tion evil or did they let it alone and
nearly all of the list of noble men
mentioned accept and ride on them
just as republicans did? Did they
give the people any relief along the
much-talked-of lines of railroad rates,
or did they simply lay down after the
courts held up a radical measure pass
ed and failed to pass any-thing of a
corporation character? Did they
devise any plan whereby the revenue
law of the state could be amended so
that the income or the state would be
at least equal to the expenses, or was
that neglected and left for a later re
publican legislature to attempt?
Were the state institutions taken out
of machine politics and put under
civil service rules and with a view of
good service and ecomical administra
tion of affairs? Was a law passed by
them settling the the question of the
elevatot trust by allowing farmers to
build and operate their own, or was
that left for the republicans to do?
Were the corporations compelled to
pay their just share of taxes or was
that matter left as it was before?
We won’t refer to such men as Por
ter and Meserve and Edraisten and
Cornell, nor to Lee Herd man, the
present supreme court free-grabber
who outclasses Eugene Moore an
hundredfold. We are not engaged in
throwing dirt on one side nor indulg
ing in any glittering laudations on
the other. All we want to know is,
what did that fusion movement benefit
the people along the line of popular
legislation? What did that grand
lot of “noble men” named do aside
from talking reform? This writer,
too, has been on the ground floor and
left it disgusted with sham reformers
who are such “noble men.” It’s re
sults we judge by; what’s better?
