We, the republicans of Holt county, in convention assembled, heartily ana cordially endorse the administration of President Roosevelt, and we com mend him as a fearless champion of the welfare of the people. He has, without fear or favor, uncovered and punished those guilty of malfeisence in public service; he has fearlessly assailed the violators of the federal statute; he has promoted friendly re lations with the other nations of the earth and gained for us the front rank in the world’s diplomacy; he has en couraged wise and helpful legislation, has shown his determination to con tinue to promote the protection of home industries, commercial expan sion and other national policies that have helped the American people enjoy prosperity and progress without parralel in the annals of national development. We are in hearty sympathy with the great battle being fought by the republican party in behalf of the peo ple against the evils of rebating, favoritism and discrimination in in toraf a ho nnmmcrnn We are in favor of the proper state legislation for protecting the people of the state against like evils within the state in interstate commerce. We favor the enactment of a law electing United States senators by a direct vote of the people, and until such law is enacted we favor the nom ination of a candidate for United States senator by the state convention and instruct the delegates to the state convention to vote for the nom ination of a candidate for United States senator. We endorse the national anti-pass law as enacted by congress and favor the passage tof a similar law by the legislature of the state. We favor the constitutional amend ment providing for the election of three railroad commissioners by the the people and that the legislature confer upon them the power to pro hibit rebates and discriminations of all kinds in passenger and freight traffic. We heartily endorse Hon. M. P. Kinkaid, our present congressman, and for his able and efficient services in congress we commend him to the people of the Sixth congressional district for reelection and authorize him to select the delegates from this county to the congressional convention of this district and that the delegates so selected be the accredited delegates of that convention. For the able services rendered to the people of the Thirteenth senator ial district by Senator John P. Gilli gan in the last legislature, we heartily recommend him to the people of this senatorial district as his own successor and authorize him to select the dele gates to the senatorial convention of this district, and that the delegates so selected by him be the accredited delegates to that convention. We endorse the able and business administration of our present republi can state legislature and county officials. We condemn the Union Pacific and Burlington railroads for their refusal to pay their taxes and endorse the action of the legal department of the state in their efforts to force collec tion. We call the attention of the tax payers of the county to the farciai and pretended prosecution of bank wreck ers by the present county attorney and believe that his refusal to prose cute such criminals should be con demned by all honest and law abiding citizens of this county, and we pledge the nominee of this convention for the office of county attorney to make a vigorous prosecution of such bank wreckers, embezzlers and forgers, as , the present incumbent has failed to do so, and we further pledge him to a strict enforcement of the criminal 1 laws of the state.

FUNBRAL OF MISS MANN Held Last Saturday and Was Largely Attended By Sowering Friends. Catherine C. Mann, whose deatli oc curred on August 16, was born in the state of Illinois on June 16,1859. She was thus forty-seven years, two months and four days old at the time of her death. For nearly a quarter of a century Miss Mann was one of the most prominent and highly esteemed women of this community. The fam ily came to this city from Wisconsin in 1884 and probably have as wide a circle of acquaintances as any family in the county. During the early years of the deceased’s residence in the city she was a teacher in the O’Neill schools. The writer was then a school boy and received some of ills first les sons in school discipline and instruc tion in the rudiments of learning from Miss Mann, who had the confidence and esteem of every pupil in her room. As a teacher she had marked suc cess and had she followed that profes sion would no doubt have risen to pro minence in educational work. She resigned her position In the O’Neill schools to take up a business career. In this she also achieved a marked success. For the past eighteen or twenty years she had been engaged in the merchantile business, and had been associated with her brothers, J. P. and Joe Mann, in the merchantile business here and at Spencer and At kinson. For several years passed she had been in active management of the general store of J. P. Mann & Co. in O’Neill. She was always legarded as a women of strict integrity and was held in the highest esteem by those who had busi ness dealings or social intercourse with her. The funeral was held Sat urday morning at the Catholic church, a requiem mass being celebrated by Very Rev. Father Cassidy, who spoke feelingly of the life and peaceful death of the deceased, and her confidence in God, who, if pleased to call her from this world, she was ready and willing to go, exemplifying the great faith of the Christian under all circumstances and in which even death has no terrors. The large concourse of people that assembled to pay her tribute was an excellent testimonial of the very high regard in which she was held. The stores were all closed during the fun eral. The pall bearers were J. P. Gal lagher, P. J. McManus, John Melvin, Peter Ward, Daniel Ward, Arthur Duffy; while Edward and Donald Gal lagher, nephews of the deceased, acted as flower bearers.

A rose Isas sweet by another.” So it is with a piano. In buying a piano of G. W. Smith you do not pay two or three middle men’s protits,you get the bene fit of the advantage he has in buying direct from reliable and established factories on a spot cash basis. He Is the only dealer in Northern Nebraska that does business on that basis. He handles and will give you the choice of twenty fine makes of pianos on such a basis. He will tell you just what a piano is that you are buying and sell as cheap on time as for cash. And right here he would offer a word of advice to parties contemplating the purchase of a piano; do not wait till cold weather to put in your instru ment, do not figure on a Christmas present. The piano that is in place during the settled weather will with stand the climatic changes better and add years of good service to its life. If you buy a piano Insist on the dealer tuning it every three months the first year and every four months the second year, twice the third year. Remember too that he does not advertise a lot of trash from $15 up in order to simply find out who is-figuring on buying a piano. He will sell you new instru ments cash or time for $150. G. W. Smith, dealer. O’Neill, Neb. Obituary. Mrs. Elizabeth L. Bowen was bom in Tompkins county, New York, on June 9,1839, and was thus at the time of her death aged 61 years, 2 months and 6 days.
