This gives Kinkaid a majority of 5070 with Keya Paha, Logan, Loup, McPherson and Wheeler counties to hear from. These will give him about 300 more which will swell his plurality to over 5300, which is not so “worse” considering the vigorous efforts of the “plunder pund gang”. The judge ran ahead of his ticket in every county in the district and received a larger per cent of the votes cist than he did two years ago. He carried JShumway’s own county of Scotts Bluff by 195 majority. The returns give poor consolation to the Holt county demo-pop (aspirant for congressional honors. Supervisor Vote.

The Omaha World-Herald published the following obituary of the mother of E. S. Eves of this city, who died last week: Sophia Elizabeth Barthelow Eves was born in Vincennes, Ind., February 2, 1834, and died at Council Bluffs, la., November 4, 1906, aged 72 years, 9 months and 2 days. On June 19, 1884, deceased was mar ried to Samuel Howard Eves, begin ning their married life in Wisconsin, and from there drifting with the western tide on to Minnesota and thence to Nebraska in 1885, in which state they lived until 1902, when they took up their residence on Pomona avenue, Council Bluffs. Deceased had been subject to heart trouble for a number of years, yet was always happy and cheerful, having a firm faith in the Savior’s care at all times, having been a member of the Baptist churcli and a Christian from a little girl. On the morning of her death she and her husband decided to attend church and when the time came Mr. Eves went to the barn to hitch up the horses. Not being gone over thiee minutes, he returned to the house for her, only to find the peaceful smile of contentment on her face. Deceased leaves a husband and four children—Mary, Marie and William Thomas of Oakwood, Okla.; Mrs. James Watson of Milbank, S. D., and Ed S. Eves of O’Neill, Neb , who sad ly mourn the loss of an effectionate wife and loving mother.

The attention of the county court , was occupied Tuesday with a case , from Verdigris township, the State of Nebraska vs. Samuel Hoshaw, Pierce C. Stevens being complaining I witness. The county attorney ap ■ peared for the state and R. R. Dick • son for the defense. The suit was ’ instituted to place the defense under i bonds to lceep the peace. It appeared from the testimoney that the defen ’ dant had been greatly annoyed by two ! of Mr. Stevens’ sons, who it was alleg i ed in an affidavit made in the case,had ; used insulting and (abusive language to both Mr. Hoshaw and his wife. It appears that the forbearance of the defendant gave way and he displayed a shooting iron a time or two, hence the parent of the Stevens boys came in with the allegation that he feared for his sons’ lives. The fact of the gun play being established, the court held the defendant to the district court on bonds of $150. The testimony showed that there may be need of placing others in that vicinity under bonds to keep the peace. A large delegation was in attendance at the trial from Verdigris. Apples for Sale. A car of apples on track at North western depot; varieties, Winesap, Jennet, Missouri Pippin and Ren Davis. Price low, quality high. Come early. S. W. Christy. CONTEST NOTES. There are many who owe subscrip tion to The Frontier who are waiting for some contestant to call on them. They want to get in on our proposition while they can get two papers for the price of one. Contestants should also bear in mind that there are hundreds of peo ple in this county who will subscribe for The Frontier if they will make it a point to see them and state our pro position to them. When they know they can get both The Frontier and The Nebraska Farmer for the price of one they cannot turn it down. Remember that The Farmer is pub lished weekly and is dollar-a-year pap er, printed on fine book paper, and is the only paper of its kind that stops promptly when the time is out. Some girl is soon to be in possession of a tine Bush & Certs piano, and without money and without price to her. It may be that with a little ex tra effort on your part you would be the lucky one. It wouldn’t take but a few new subscribers to put you at the head of the list, and it wouldn’t take you very long to get these if you would make up your mind to get them. The Frontier should go into the homes of every family In Ilolt county, as it is the leading paper in the coun ty and a county seat paper. While The Frontier and The Farmer can be secured for the price of one it is a good time for old subscribers to pay up and new ones to subscribe. Opportunities for uomeseekers ana Investors.

MILLIONS RAKED IN EVERY YEAR Mail Order Houses Concentrating Much of the Wealth of the Country. Every year millions upon millions of dollars find their way from the towns, villages and rural districts of the country to the coffers of the mail order houses in the cities, and go to the upbuilding of enormous institu tions in the centers of population. Na turally, the sources from which the contributions are made suffer accord ingly. Figures ever tell a better story than words. Here are figures which tell a story so stupendous that its full signi ficance cannot be grasped in a moment, but the mere sight of which are awe inspiring: In the year 1905 two mail order houses located in Chicago did business amounting in round numbers to $80, 000,000. In the year 1904 these same concerns did a business of about $62, 000,000, a gain of $18,000,000 or nearly 30 per cent in a single year being thus exhibited. I _ _ . . These figures represent the sale last year of one dollar’s worth of merchan dise for every man woman and child in the country by two catalogue houses alone, and those operating from the same central point. Dozens more of varying size and importance are opera ting all over the country from coast to coast and from border to border. A fact not generally known is that hundreds of concerns throughout the country which now are doing business through the regular trade channels are waiting only a parcel post law to unloose literature, already prepared in many Instances, which would pro ject them into the mail order field,and this does not take into account the hundreds and perlvaps thousands of entirely new mail order concerns which inevitably would spring into existence under such friendly auspices. The two Chicago institutions refer red to, already occupying Immense buildings, found themselves cramped for room. One of them expended not less than $1,000,000 and probably more, for a new home. The other lately has secured a new location and also will expend at least $1,000,000, for an im mense new building. Anyone who will reflect even casual ly on the subject must become impres sed that the influence of the mall or der business is toward the centraliza tion of wealth, and how enormous a part it is playing in this direction will be understood from a second glance at the figures which have been given above. It is due to himself that every pa tron of the mail order house should ln qnire honestly of himself what the fin al outcome is to be if the mail order business shall continue to make the great strides which have marked its progress during the last half decade. It is useless to repeat the well-worn argument of the mail order concerns that they are selling goods enough more cheaply than the merchants in the regular channel of trade to leave their customers more money than ever to devote to home enterprises and in stitutions. The fallacy of this state ment has been proved over and over again by actual and minnte compari sons of goods, as to their quality and prices. To refute it finally and indis putably by a simpler and more direct method it is necessary only to ask the reliable business men of any of the smaller communities to show the evi dence from their books and accounts of the harm the mail order habit is doing their communities. It is a truth as old as the hills and as certain as the rising and setting of (Continued on fourth page.) M. DOWLING. President JAS. F. O’DONNELL.
