Perhaps Mr. Roosevelt turned down the talking machine proposition Tor fear the phonograph would get his speeches garbled. < « » The democrats selected two of a kind. Hryan was twice defeated for president and Kern twice lost out for governor of Indiana. Hearst refuses to bite at the Bryan bait. He says the “peerless” is a menace and refuses to pool Interests with the Nebraskan. ■-■» » » It will probably be a disappointment to the Clipper mine experts to learn that contributions to the democratic campaign fund will be limited to 810,000 per capita. With a $5,000,000 mineback of them,O’Neill enthusiasts were prepared to do something hand some by the “peerless.” - 4 » » The appeal is going out from dem ocratic headquarters for farmers to contribute to the Bryan campaign fund. It might be well for the farmers to bear in mind that during the last democratic administration they couldn’t raise a dollar to con tribute to a campaign or any other fund. The O'Neill Junior says Kern was not nominated for vice-president for his money, as the two last democratic candidates for vice-president. Mr. Bryan’s O’Neill contingent has ac quired a $5,000,000 mine since the last presidential election and of course will be glad to make good any short age on the tail of the ticket. -. It was an easy matter for the dem, ocrats to promulgate a platform of great swelling words. As the demo crats will never have an opportunity to enact Into law any of these promises It matters little to what extent the extravagencles were carried. A dem ocratic platform is like the sounding brass and tinkling symbal. -+» The Union Pacific Is one of the best paying railroad properties in the country today and a glance at a table of Its earnings raises the query why it should ever have gone begging for a buyer. The figures also disclose that the railroads have been doing pretty well since the enactment of regulation laws. The net earnings of the Union Pacific in May this year were 91,592, 756, and for the eleven months previous •17,106,450. An exchange takes a poke at the Omaha crowd which is trying to se duce the country editors after this fashion: “We have been in the news paper publishing business for the past eighteen years and in all that time there lias never been such a demand to use newspaper space in advertising whisky and the saloon as there is right now. Every kind of a scheme is being resorted to by tire distillers, brewers and saloon interests to get their rot before the people. Even the ready pk'lnt houses have been impor tuned to use their influence with their customers for space on the patent pages. But it is no use; there is yet too much dignity and honor among the country editors to be caught in any such trap. Now comes the anxious candidate and wants his name in print through out the state; with lioneyed words he writes the “boys” that he’ll be filled with many joys if they will give bis cadidacy a boost and let the people know that he’s just the chap to roost for two years henoe at the pie counter down behind the capitol fence; his letter says that he’s been asked to make the race and hopes you’ll see his fitness for the place: he graduated at Birdview school and has practiced law and taught some school; he sends a circular with yards of printed praise of his high virtue, honesty and might and a picture of himself to hang up in the light; he assures you that if you’ll kindly mention give you will long on his memory’s tablet live, and drawing politely to a close, yours truly says he’ll be very greatful for all of those. A man must have a large amount of self-conceit if nothing more when he assumes to carry tiie votes of 3,000,000 union labor men in his vest pocket. Mr. Gompers evidently wishes to con vey the idea that lie can deliver tiie union vote to whom lie will. ' That is an unwarranted assumption, a slur on the intelligence and independence of American manhood, and it will not be at all surprising if the union men of the country resect It to the detri ment of Mr. Gompers. Lynch Journal: We see by tiie O’Neill Frontier that Frank Phillips Is again a candidate for t he office of state senator before the republican primary. Mr. Phillips was an aggres sive member of the last legislature and will also be heard from if nomin ated this fall. The only objection that we would raise to him is,, tiie nomination belongs to Boyd. But if no one here wants the office, then we nan hearbi'y line up for Senator Phillips. Ex-Senator Smith of New Jersey, a delegate to the Denver convention, struck the key note when he said: “Let us make the platform as Bryan ite as the ticket, so that on Bryan’s defeat in November he can not lay the blame on the platform ” Those few words express the sentiment of the sane democracy of the country. And ttiey explain why Bryan had everything Ids own way in the con vention. The quickest way to git rid of Bryan was to give him plenty of rope and he would do the business at the polls in November. The Sprlngtield, Mass.. Republican, a non-partisan paper, takes this view of It: “Mr. Bryan’s handicaps are very serious. He must encounter the hostility of the conservative wing of the democratic party, and his two previous defeats tend to distroy his prestige among all those who like to support a winning candidate. It is also palpable that, however strong a character he may be, within his spec ial limitations, his long career as an igilator lias tended to untit him for actual governmental work and has developed the orator and doctrinaire at ttie expense of the practical, well posted administrator. In personal tltness for the presidential office Mr. Taft offers by far the superior quali fications.” A “prospectus" of Mr. Taft’s speech of acceptance indicates that the re publican candidate will take the crimp out of the Bryanites. It will include a personal plank on publicity of campaign funds. In doing this Mr. Taft will accept the Bryan challenge to make publicity one of the leading issues in llie coming tight, and when tiis speecli of acceptance has been delivered there will be no doubt in Mr. Bryan s mind or in anybody else’s how he stands on tills question. Mr. Taft resents the charge in the demo cratic platform that the republicans intend to conduct the present cam paign with vast sums of money wrest ed from the favorseeking corporations and is prepared to challenge the dem ocrats to show their good faitli by coming in, as the republicans have, under the operation of ttie New York state publicity law. Both republicans and democrats are claiming the negro vote. There is no “negro vote” within range of The Frontier, hence our conclusions as to which side the votes of the blacks will go can not be based on direct testi mony. Tire only logical conclusion in this event is that the negro as a class will vote as he always has when per mitted to vote at all. Ever since the republicans gave the negro the right to vote that vote lias been cast for the republican national ticket. Democracy lias always stood for a disfranchized negro. One of the bloodiest wars that the world has known was fought be cause democracy opposed the republi can principle that this is a nation of free men. That the negro would now turn around and vote for the party that sougtittokeep him inbondageand has disfranchised him in every state under democratic control, deliberately vote against the party that gave him political life and the measure of equality he now enjoys, is an incon gruity entirely at variance with com mon sense. Br>an supporters very nearly admit that they can’t elect him. -- A Washington dispatch of recent date contains so.r.e rather startling political news. It runs: "Taft will get a larger vote in North Caro lina next November than any republi can candidate ever received in that state,” said Judge Spencer B. Adams of Greensboro, N. C , who is in Wash ington. "Mr. Taft’s hopes that lie may break the solid south, I think, has a better chance of realization in North Carolina than in any state in that section, with the possible excep tion of Tennessee. Democratic busi ness men have told me since Taft’s nomination that they will vote for the Ohio man in preference to Bryan. Bryan is not popular in North Caro lina. Indeed, there is an extremely bitter opposition to him, especially among the business interests.” South erners appear to be awakening to the fact that the industrial development of their region is of more consequence to them than political traditions. Tennessee and Kentucky are admit edly disputed territory politically, with the eastern tiers of counties in both states solidly republican. It is probaWy too much to think of three states in the "solid south” breaking away from the traditions of half a century, but Nortli Carolina, Ten nessee and Kentucky offer a good Held for missionary work this campaign. DAHALMAN TO INVADE EAST More Boodle This Time. • Omaha Bee: You often have to go away from home to hear the news. That explains why we have to go to Depver to find out what Mayor Jim is incubating, and that is what lends in terest to an announcement in the Denver Post that our own Mayor Jim of Omaha is going to start “a cowboy crusade” to storm again the cltidels of the political intidel in the east and return with the tropies of victory dragging behind his broncho at the end of the lariet. This in the Denver paper discloses the secret: ‘‘Dahlam is the lirst democratic mayor Omaha had in seventeen years. He will most likely be nominated on the democratic ticket for governor of Nebraska this summer. He won his najority Jlght without the aid of the boss s. He expects to jump into New York and do a big part toward winn ing that state for Bryan by adopting the same unique methods that proved< so successful during the mayoralty fight in Omaha.” ^ Isn’t that rich, rare and racyV Mayor Jim boasts that he won his mayoralty fight “without the aid of bosses,” when the democratic herd in Omaha lias the “boss” brand on every steer. While Bryan professes to be endeavor ing to protect ills virtue from contam ination with corporations and tained money, Mayor Jim is to win New York for Bryan by adopting “the same unique methods” that proved so successful in Omaha Those methods consisted in shaking down the corpor ations, brewers, liquor dealers and every other promising lead for a cam paign fund of unprecedented propor tions and promising everybody every thing demanded.' Just wait until Mayor Jim starts liis “cowboy crusade” on Wall street. If he does not make the Belmont Ryan-Parker-gang shell out more than $15,000 this time it won’t be his fault. A Warning. New York Sun: Ttie Hon. Jim Dahlm&n, mayor of Omaha, will in vade the east this fall in behalf of Colonel William Jennings Bryan. It is Mayor Dahlman’s plan "to make the easterners sit up and take notice," and: "Mr. Dahlman will be accompanied by his quartete of singers. He will also take with him the famous rope with which he noosed Mr. Bryan when the Commoner landed in America from his trip abroad. He will be dressed after the fashion of the range rider, and he will be prepared to brand all the political mavericks in the big states on the Atlantic coast.” A free wild west show will attract large and enthusiastic audiences on the Atlantic coast, but the actors en gaged in it should be warned of one danger before they begin their per formances. At the season in which they intend to descend on the com munities along the Atlantic coast many roving bands of dealers in pat ent medicines, warranted razors, handkerchiefs and pinchbeck jewelry are found in these parts. They carry theatrical performers who give alleged musical entertainments, exhibitions of life on the plains, Indian customs, and the like. Familiar with these, ignorant and stupid persons are quite likely to put Mr. Dahlman’s campaign, ing outfit in the same category and resent its failure to offer for sale a toothache cure or a hair restorer. Unquestionably Mr. Dahhnan would be hurt and chagrined if mistaken for a peripatetic vender of quack remed ies. He must be careful to explain his mission clearly to each audience.

There is a man of my acquaintance whose wife studies daily to please him and to provide for his material com fort, who quarrels if he can not have jelly with every meal, winter and summer. If he has to go without jelly for a day or so, and then it again makes it appearance, he waxes sar castic. “Oh, yes,” he will comment, “1 remember having seen something like this when 1 was a boy. I believe they called it jelly. And when I was on earth before they used to have something they called preserves. 1 don’t remember very much about them except that they were always made by stingy people. I don’t recall any open-handed, generous, warm hearted people who ever made them.” Now, what is a woman to do with that sort of a man? Over Thirty-Five Years. In 1872 there was a great deal of diar rhoea, dysentry and cholera infantum. It was at this time that Chamber lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was first brought into use. It proved more successful than any other remedy or treatment, and has for thirty-five .\ears maintained that rec ord. From a small beginning its sale and use has extended to every part ol the United States and to many foreign countries. Nine druggists out of ten will recommend it when their opinion is asked, although they have other medicines that pay them a greater profit. It can always be depended upon, even in the most severe and dan gerous cases. For sale by Gilligan & Stout. _ Wan*, to Double Charges. Railroad Age Gazette: The Union Stock Yards company of South Oma ha having been declared by the courts to be a common carrier, has filed a petition with the Nebraska railway commission for permission to double its switching charges, most of which are paid by the railroads that employ its facilities for moving live stock in and out of the yards. The following are the increases in charges that it desires to make: On live stock re ceived from or delivered to a connect ing line, from 50c to $1 a car; on com modities received from a connecting line for industries situated on the tracks of the complainant, from $1 to $2 a car; on commodities switched from the tranfer track of one road to the transfer track of another, from $1 to $2 a car, such cars when empty to be returned free; for switching empty cars from the transfer tracks of one road to the transfer tracks of another, from 50c to $1 per car; for switching cars from one part of the company’s yards to another or from the tracks of one firm to those of another, from 50c for empty and $1 for loaded to $1 per car, whether empty or loaded.

After doctoring for about twelve years for a bad stomach trouble, and spending nearly five hundred dollars for medicine and doctors’ fees, I pur chased my wife one box of Chamber lain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets, which did her so much good that she continued to use them and they have done her more good than all of the medicine I bought before.—Samuel Boyer, Folsom, Iowa. This medicine is for sale by Gilligan & Stout. Sample free. Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy Would Have Saved Him $100. “In 1902 I had a very severe attack of diarrhoea,” says R. N. Farrar of Cat Island, La. “For several weeks I was unable to do anything. On March 18, 190", I had a similar attack, and took Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy which gave me prompt relief. 1 consider it one of ttie best medicines of its kind in the world, and had 1 used it in 1902 believe it would have saved me a hundred dollar doctor’s bill.” Sold by Gilligan & Stout.

Bernard had the misfortune to lose 9 head of cattle which were killed by one bolt of lightning. The cattle were about 20 rods from the wire fence in the willows along the creek on his ranch 3 miles northwest of Chambers. They were literally piled on top of one another. Four head of these were thoroughbred Herefords and were valuable animals. The loss, which is heavy one, is partially covered by in surance. In this same storm W. R. Bell lost a valuable 2-year-old colt also struck by lightning.—The Bugle PAGE. Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Wade have gone to Omaha to spend a few days, and Col. Barney Stewart is taking care of the business until they return. Messrs. J. W. Wagers and Ed Hunt er started Tursday morning for Cali fornia and Portland, Ore. They expect to be gone about a month. Our rural delivery man, J. J. Smith, took the passenger Tuesday morning for Bellwood, where he will visit his brother and take a much need rest, for about fifteen days. W. W. Page, who has been very sick for some time, was taken to the M. E. hospital at Omaha Tuesday. Itev. H. W. Rummel, who was with him on his journey, says he stood the trip nicely and was resting easy at last report. Mr. Page’s daughter, Ruth, remained with her father and will return later.—The Reporter. ATKINSON. J. S. Ennis ot South Sioux City lias purchased the stock and good will of the Office saloon, formerly owned by F. J. Pru sa Mr. Ennis received his license and began business Monday morning. P. T. Tinsley came over from Spen cer Saturday, and drew plans and specifications of a two story residence for Cyril Erychleb, to be built in Spen cer at once, so as to be ready for oc cupancy as soon as their business clos ed here. Eric Borg of Meek, who was so severely wounded with a revolver in the hands of James Price, was in At kinson Saturday. Mr. Borg says he is nearly alright again, but as the ball passed near the lungs his wind ap paratus does not work quite right, though the doctor claims this will in time pass away. The heavy rain that passed over this section last Saturday night was accompanied by hail which done con siderable damage south of town, it seemed to be in streaks and did not follow a direct course. The only dam age in town was sustained by the burning out of the telephone central station and the Hooding of several cellars. Chambers & Co. were heavy losers in this as the south wall of their cellar caved in covering up everything they had stored in the basement- 3.00 100 of an inch is what our weather man, Carl Wilson, reports as the down fall. No damage was done to the rail road property here, but between here and Omaha several hundercd feet of track was washed out in different places delaying the trains for several hours. It was a great downpour and one that causes our old settlers to pause and thing to remember one just like it.—The Graphic. Music by Water Power. Cuming County Democrat: Anton Psota is an ingenious man. We all knew that before by his numerous in ventions. But here is a new one. On the Fourth, from eaily morning until evening, hundreds of people from the trans-Elkhorn country, when they ap preached the river bridge, heard the patriotic strains of “Marching Through Georgia” coming from the brink of the river below. Mr. Psota skillfully constructed a water wheel, adjusted it properly in the current of the stream and connected the turn ing wheel with a musical instrument on the bank. All day long the faith ful little cylinder with its thousands of tiny vibrailing spikes sent up in soft melodious tones the air of one of our national songs. All around Mr. Psota’s place every thing evinces his inventive genius. He set everybody to smiling Sunday morning who saw his large, stuffed etfgy at the river bridge, dressed in overalls, course shirt and a slouch hat, leaning up against a tree with a jug near by, and the suggestive inscrip tion, “After the Fourth.” LOW RATES EAST via THE NORTHWESTERN LINE.
