Lance says: “Well, this editor Is for
Judge Reese for the supreme bench
and is against Loomis; in fact, would
have been against Loomis under any
conditions, for lie Is the rankest kind
of a railroad tool. The writer served
in the legislature witli Loomis and
knows whereof tie speaks. These are
bad times for men of Loomis’ sort to
run for office in Nebraska.”

Strict Integrity, impartiality to
those whom lie serves, attention to
his official duties and always ready to
do his best to run down criminals
when a warrant is placed in his hands
has made Charley Hall the most popu
lar and best sheriff Holt county ever
had. The ' majority of voters want
economy coupled with efficient services
in public officers and they find these
qualities in our present sheriff who
has given six years of faithful service.

"‘Honest Bill Simar is good enough
for me in the clerk’s office,” remarked
a voter from an outlying precinct the
other day.. ‘‘He is a man you would
not be afraid to trust with your dia
monds—if you had any—and is an ac
commodating and efficient clerk."
The majority of the voters are of the
same opinion. When [an official is
doing the right tiling by the tax
payers it is useless to try an experi
ment with another.
Miss Zink has done more for the
schools of Holt county in the two
years of her superintendency than was
aocomplisheh in any four years by her
predecessors. She is recognized among
the prominent educators of the state
as one of the foremost of county school
superintendents, and Holt county to
day, instead of ranking at the bottom
in educational matters, is one of the
leading counties in the state. From
the way our educational interests are
being looked after now It would be
folly to make a change.
The fusion political pluggers know
that Holt county is in the best shape
it,pver was financially and that there
is over $60,000 of county money lying
in the banks drawing only two per
cent interest, but instead of using this
money to pay off some $20,000 in claims
they would rather force the county to
a registration of warrants that would
co$t the county seven per cent inter
est. The average tax payer knows
little and cares less about the intri
cate technicalities of this fund and
that fund, but they do know it is not
good business policy to pay interest
upon an indebtedness when you have
mpre than enougli money to pay the
debt. Holt county is just in that
position today. It has money to pay
every claim and then have over $40,000
left.
Albion News: It begins to look as
if the railroads were going to insist
on a tight to a finish with the people
of Nebraska. They have gone to the
federal court for an injunction re
straining the railroad commission
from promulgating or putting in force
any reduction in freight rates. If the
commission cannot do this, then they
are powerless to do anything. Gov.
Sheldon is showing his backbone by
saying that if the commission is tied
up, and prevented from performing
the duties it was created for, he will
call the'legislature in special session
*
to enact special laws. If this fight
has got to come, then the sooner It is
begun the better. The governor will
find the people are standing behind
him in solid phalanx. If there is an)
question whether the people can gov
ern this state, but must submit to the
rule of the railroads, the people want
to know it. “Lay on, McDuff, anc
damn’d be him that first cries, ‘Hold
enough!’ ”
OTHERS THAT DON’T WANT
CHANGE.
The supporters of Judges Harring
ton and Westover say that ever}
horse thief and cattle thief wants a
change In the judiciary. These twe
judges are held up as being a terror
to criminals. That Westover and
Harrington have merely performed
the functions of the office for which
they draw their salaries in sending
certain classes of criminals to the
penitentiary is nothing to brag oi
nor make a noise about. If some fel
low is caught stealing a $150 steer he
is usually given the limit of ten years
In the pen. Nobody has any objec
tion to that and all will say he got
what he deserved.
There are some other classes or
criminals, however, that seem to be
Immune frorr^ punishment in the Fif
teenth Judicial district, and nobody
hears them demanding a change in
the judiciary. While the little fel
lows are being punished to tlie limit,
the big criminals escape punishment
altogether and even prosecution
against them dumped out of court
and soverign citizens of the state who
ask that justice be done and crime
punished according to the laws are
turned from court without a vestage
or semblance of justice being done.
This is a matter of common knowl
edge to the vorers of this district.
They know that while a cattle thief
who stole a few dollars gets ten years
in the pen that bank wreckers and
defaulters to the amount of thousands
of dollars are not punished. They
know that Barney McGreevy, presi
dent of the defunct Elkhorn Valley
bank and defaulting treasurer of the
city of O’Neill and O'Neill school dis
trict, was turned loose as soon as he
got in court, after tlie county paying
a reward for liis apprehension and the
expense of bolding hlmseveralmonths
for trial. They know that bis bank
ing partner was never arrested and
brought here for trial, although his
signature was obtained so a deed
could be made conveying Ilagerty
property to the daddy of the then
county attorney. They know that
Pat Handley stole *5,000 of Grattan
township jnoney and because he was
one of the chosen pol.tically has never
been arrested. They know that mur
der after murder has been committed
in north and northwest Nebraska and
nobody punished for it. But Oh!
These things are nothing. Our judges
have been sending up cattle thieves
to serve ten year terms.
THE “DEHORNING BILL.”
The fashion of dehorning cattle has
grown up among Nebraska stockmen
in recent years, the removal of the
horned growths with which nature
provided the bovine being for the
purpose of depriving the animal of his
means of destruction. Among a herd
of cattle with horns the weaker ones
stand no show and often sustain in
jury, while a big steer will constitute
himself the boss of the whole herd.
To prevent this their horns are re
moved.
The last legislature of Nebraska
passed what has become commonly
known as the “dehorning bill.” It
has nothing to do with dehorning
cattle, but relates to judges of the
district court. Conditions had reached
such a point in the Fifteenth judicial
district between Mike and his judge
brother that the “consanguinity and
affinity” of relationship became a
subject of legislation and the last leg
islature was pretty nearly as much
exercised over It as the 2-cent rail
road law.
Here is how the “dehorning bill”
has amended the law disqualifying
district judges, as taken from chapter
42, section 4747 of the session laws
Of 1907: •
A judge or justice is disqualified
from acting as such except by mutual
consent of parties in any case wherein
he is a party or interested or where
he is related to either party by con
sanguinity or affinity within the
fourth degree or where any attorney
I in any cause pending in the district
court is related to the judge in the
degree of father, son or brother or
where tie lias been attorney for either
party in the action or proceeding and
such mutual consent must be in writ
ing and made a part of the record, or
where lie lias been attorney for either
party in the action or proceedings, or
wtiere said judge was in co-partner
ship at the lime of his election, in the
law business witli a practicing attor
ney in the district ill which the said
judge was elected and which said co
partnership continued in the practice
of law in the district aud occupied the
same ottice or rooms which were occu
pied by the late co-partnership con
sisting of the Dresiding judge and his
ex-co-partner, at the time of his elec
tion, and where said judge or justice
continues to occupy the same ottice or
rooms with his said ex-co-partner the
said judge or justice shall be prohibit
ed and disqualified from actingassucli
in any proceedings or litigation in
with (which) said exco-partner of
said judge is retained or in any wise
interested, and the said judge or
justice shall be disqualified as afore
said in all proceedings or litigations
in which ex-co-partner is retained or
interested so long as said judge or
justice occupies tlie same room witli
his ex-co-partner which said partner
ship occupied prior to said judge’s
election.
Since the enactment of this law
Mike has had to call down the judge
from the west end of the district when
he had a case in court.
The Markets
South Omaha, Sept. 25.—Special
market letter from Nye Schneider
Fowler Co.
As was generally expected after our
heavy cattle receipts fur the past two
weeks this week is quite moderate
and with cooler weather and a better
eastern demand the market is taking
on a much healthier tone as weil as a
fair advance in values. Western range
beef is in small supply and this makes
a much better demand for the natives.
Feeders, stockers, butcher stock and
all classes of cattle are selling little
better than last week.
Prices will range as follows—
Choice dry lot beef.$6 20(a)7 15
Fair to good. 5 40(<tf(i 10
Common down to. 4 50
Good range beef steers. 4 50(a)5 05
Cows and heifers. 3 00(a;4 00
Canners & cutters. 2 00(a)2 00
Veal calves. 3 50(a)5 75

Heavy feeeders. 4 50W5 20
Medium . 3 75@4 40
Stockers. 3 00(a)! 25
Stock heifers . 2 15(a)3 15
The bulk of the hogs has shown a
good advance with tops no higher than
a week ago. Range $5 70 to $0.30.
We have had the heaviest run of
sheep on record, there being over 44,
000 here Monday. The market only
broke 10 to 15 cents. The demand is
great.
Surplus Commodities.
Bulletin No. li for September of the
Burea of Labor and Industrial statis
tics contains some interesting figures.
In all lines of agricultural pursuits the
figuresshow up amazingly large. They
show the acerage of crops for 1907,
the surplus commodities of the state
for 190(3 with orchard statistics for
1907. Holt county is right in the
front in the matter of surplus com
modities. According to the bulletin
shipments of live stock in this county
in 1900 were as follows:
Cattle, head.13,379
Hogs, head.21,280
Horses, head. 502
Wheat, bushels. 9,204
Oats, bushels.65,351
Rye, bushels.17,667
Hay, tons. 41,079
Flour, pounds.55,100
Mill feed, pounds.24,550
Potatoes, bushels. 4,540
Butter, pounds.57,062
Cream, gallons.19,580
Eggs, dozens.31,720
Live poultry, pounds.85,333
Dressed poultry, pounds.12,515
Holt county leads all others in the
shipments of hay with 41,079 tons.
Its next nearest competitor is Rock
county, with 24,000 tons. Lincoln
county has the third place in the ship
ment of hay with 21,400 tons.

SAVE FUEL
DON’T you think a range that cuts your fuel bill in half is worth more than other
ranges?
THE GREAT MAJESTIC RANGE only uses half the fuel used in other ranges, and
gives better satisfaction all around. There is a reason for everything. If you will stop and con
sider the fact that the MAJESTIC RANGE, being made of non-breakable Malleable Iron, per
mits the manufacturers to cold rivet all the parts together perfectly air-tight; that it is not made
of cast-iron and bolted together as other ranges; that the heat cannot escape through cracks or ^
cold air enter range; that the flues are lined with pure asbestos board (not paper), and are con
structed in such a manner as to utilize every particle of heat—you will very readily see why the
Majestic Range uses so little fuel.
I Every user of THE GREAT MAJESTIC RANGE will confirm this statement.

Supervisor Proceedings.
O’Neill, July 19, 7907. To the Hon
orable County Board of Supervisor:—
Gentlemen: On the 13th day of May,

the taxes on the southeast quarter of
sec. 18, twp. 26, range 10, west, Mc
Clure township for the year 1904, see

A Traveling Man's Experience.
“I must tell you my experience on
an East bound O. R. & N. R. R train
from Pendleton to LeGrande, Ore.,”
writes Sam A. Garber, a well known
traveling man. “I was in the smok
ing department with some other
traveling men when one of them went
out into the cooch and came back and
said, ‘There is a woman sick unto
death in the car.’ I at once got up
and went out, found her very ill witli
cramp colic, her hands and arms were
drawn up so you could not straighten
them, and with a deathlike look on
her face. Two or three ladies were
working with her and giving her
whiskey. I went to my suit case and
got my bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhma Remedy (I
never travel without it), ran to the
water tank, put a double dose of the
medicine in the glass, poured some
water into it and stirred it wiuh a
pencil; then I had quite a time to get
the ladies to let me give it to her, but
I succeeded. I could at once see the
effect and I worked with her, rubbing
her hands, and in twenty minutes I ^
gave her another dose. By this time
we were almost into LeGrande, where
I was to leave the train. I gave the
bottle to the husband to be used in
case another dose should be needed,
but by the time the train ran into
LeGrande she was all right, and I re
ceived the thanks of every passenger
in the car.” For sale by Gilligan &
