GRADY The voters of Holt county have an opportunity this year, at the coining election, to vote for a young man for the office of sherifT, who has the dis tinction, not only of being the first to be a candidate for a county office, who was born in Holt county, but also, one who has served his country well in time of war and has also an honorable line of ancestors before him, as shown by the following brief genea logical reference to the family of Henry Grady. Martin and Patrick Grady emigrat ed to the United States in 1830, and both enlisted in the Mexican war under Genl. Taylor. Martin was killed in an assault on the city of Mexico. At the close of the Mexican war Patrick Grady returned to his home at Galena, 111, and at the out break of the Civil war he enlisted in the 45th 111. Inf. His son, James, served in the 44th 111. Inf., and died at Memphis, Tenn. At the close of the war, Henry Grady’s father, John Grady, was the second son of Patrick Grady, above referred to, and he served in Co. M, 8th 111. Cavelry dur ing the civil war and was mustered out in July 1805, at the close of the war. He came to Holt county from Galena, 111., In 1874 and settled on a homestead two miles west of O’Neill. Returning to Illinois in 1875 he mar ried Miss Mary Boyle. Of this union Henry D. Grady, republican candidate for sheriff, was born in this county in May, 1877. Henry was educated in the publio schools of this county and had barely attained bis majority when the Spanlsh-Amerlcan war broke out, and, true to the patriotism inherent in him from his worthy ancestors, he was among the first to respond to his country's call. He en listed in Co. I, 3rd Nebr. Yol. Inf. In 1893 and served in Cuba during the Spanlsb-American war. In 1905 Mr. Grady took the civil service examination and was appoint ed in the mail service, in which ser vice he is now engaged and has made an envable record therein, both with the department and patrons. He was married to Miss Mary Hayes of Atkinson in 1906. Thus, as before stated, the voters of this county have an opportunity to put not only a patrotic, sober lndus tious, honest young man in the office of sheriff but one that is "home grown” as well. It is fitting that the voters in general irrespective of party, as they appear to be doing, should set their seal of approval on the candidacy of Henry Grady for in him they will have a man as sheriff who will serve impartially, diligently, ably and courageously.

Lincoln News; September 20, has been agreed upon as the date for be ginning to take testimony in the railroad cases involving the 2-cent fare law, the railway commission law and other Nebraskaenactments which four transportation companies are resisting in the United States court. Attorney General Thompson and C. O. Whedon of Lincoln will appear jointly for the state, while W, D. McHugh, assisted by lawyers and ex perts for the various railroads, will present there side of the case. As the carriers are making the attack, their testimony will come first and the state’s rebuttal will follow. The Inquiry will be conducted before Com missioner C. W. Pearsall at Omaha There are four separate cases, iden tical in nature, brought respectively by the Burlington, Union Pacific, Rock Island and Missouri Pacific. The Northwestern alone, of all the independent railroads traversing Ne braska is not a participant in this litigation. The Rock Island case will be taken up first, as that road Is the first to prepare its data supporting its assault upon the state laws. While at Omaha a few days ago, Attorney General Thompson received assurance from the railroad com panies’ counsel that their figures would be submitted to him in advance of the hearing, so that he might be prepared for the introduction of testimony to meet them. If this should not be done, the state will ask time in which to examine the statis tical proof offered by the companies. It will be necessary to analyze all such data and the state may call for the production of the carriers’ books. L. E. Wettling, who has been em ployed by the state as an expert ac countant for these cases will be pres ent at the taking of testimony, and U. G. Powell, rate clerk for the rail way commission, will also attend. Their province will he to dissect the railroads’ showing and, if necessary, to go to Chicago and St. Louis for an examination of the accounts kept at headquarters of the companies. It was suggested by a railroad repre sentatlve that Wettling might be going over the books at headquarters while the hearing was going on at Omaha, to save time, but Attorney General Thompson vetoed this pro posal, as he wants the state’s expert to hear all the testimony offered by the roads. The carriers must show, in order to knock out the 2-cent fare and the Aid rich commodity freight rate law, that they have been unable to make an adequate return upon their invest ment since those acts became ef fective. Against whatever data they submit along this line, the state will offer facts gathered by the railway cammisslon and the testimony of its accountants. Before the cases are concluded, wnich will probably not be for a year to come, it Is hoped by the attorney general to supplement the state’s other testimony with data secured under the physical valuation of railroads now being undertaken by the railway commission. Both sides prefer, if it is practicable, to finish one case before another is taken up. This method would pre vent confusion such as was encounter ed in the trial of the express rate cases, when the testimony relating to the business of different companies was intermingled. The Boyd County Fair to be held at Butte, Thursday, Friday and Satur day, September 23, 24 and 25, will have a lot of things worth going to see. The main feature will be the ball games between Norfolk and Gregory, Friday and Saturday after noons. These are both semi-profes sional teams and have blood in their eye for each other over a scrap they had some time ago. The games will be thrillers. The first day will be “Governors Day” and Gov. Shallen berger will speak. Prof. Holden, the greatest corn expert in the world, and State Superintendent Bishop wil] speak the last two days. There will be horse racing, a good band, free ex hibitions and a street carnival. It will certainly be a good fair. FREE LANDS IN WYOMING. Chicago & North Western Ry.

Waid met with an accident in town the other day that was too close to a knockout blow to be com fortable. He was having a sickle bar repaired at a blacksmith shop, and held the bar while the blacksmith pounded with a heavy hammer. The hammer Hew off the handle and struck Mr. Wald a terriSc blow in the side of the head. He was stunned for a few minutes but not seriously hurt. The same class of fellows that pre dicted a famine in the spring and feared a drought every time they saw the sun shine during the summer are now losing sleep for fear of a frost. The change in temperature from ex cessive heat to wet and cold makes the prophets of evil fearful. A light frost such as may come any time after the first of September would do no particular damage this year. The corn is now ripe. There has never been a season when corn made faster than during the hot weather in Au gust and the late June planted fields are now out of danger from a freeze. Michael Stafford, for many years roadmastar of the Chicago and North western railroad, died in a hospital at Omaha yesterday afternoon after a short illness of typhoid fever. Mr. Stafford was a resident of this city several years ago and moved from here to Atkinson, where he lived on his farm a mile east of that city until about ten years ago when the family moved to Norfolk, moving from there to Omaha a couple of years ago. Mike Stafford and family have many friends in Holt county who will regret to learn of his death. It is the opinion of the Oakdale Sentinel that “a newspaper can never credibly represent a town whose business men do not advertise. He may howl himself hoarse bragging about the vim, and energy and enter prise of his town, but if his declara tions are not backed up by a liberal amount of advertising by the business men of the town, the world will be slow to take his statements as true. It takes more than the unsupported testimony of the newspaper man to prove to the world that his town is the linancial center, the business center, the best market, and thi best place on earth to buy goods; hit evidence needs corroboration. The entire board of supervisors and county clerk of Boyd county were over yesterday to talk over with the Holt county board the already much dis cussed Redbird bridge proposition. The Holt county board was in session at the time but the visit of the officials of the other county was wholly unexpected. The board of this county submitted a proposition to Boyd county several months ago but that county declined to enter an agreement for substantial and lasting repairs on the bridge and went ahead with temporary repairs which have proved unsatisfactory and they now want to put in the steel span the Holt county board proposed in the beginning. The Live Stock Market South Omaha, Neb., Sept., 8,— Spec ial market letter trom Standard Live Stock Comimsslon Co. Notwithstanding another liberal run of cattle for the past week the market showed a good healthy tone and advance on good killers and feeders ranging from 10 to 25 cents fully recovering the decline of the previous week. The general rains of the past few days benefited the past ures and increased the demand for stockers and feeders. However, the continued heavy run this week—the third in succession—is pulling values down some.

Gibson was born in Sweden October 24, 1844, and died in St. Mary’s hospital at Tuscon, Arizona., August 28, 1909, after an illness of two weeks. The deceased came to America in 1869. He was formerly a resident of this county and is related to the Gib son boys at Mineola. The remains were buried at Tuscon. The deceased left no family, being a single man. He is survived by one brother in this state and a sister in Sweden. Another brother, Nels P. Gibson died about a year ago.

Inman Items. W. W. Watson returned to his home at Lincoln, Monday. Mr. and Mrs Dewitt Derby went up to O’Neill for a short visit, and to do some shopping, last week. Mr. and Mrs. Eirl Green moved from the farm owned by Ed Clark south of town into town last week. Mrs. Frank Frink of Wayne, who was called here a couple of weeks ago through her mother’s illness, returned home Friday. Mrs. Morgan Grosser returned home from Sioux City last Sunday where she has been visiting with her father for the past week. , Mrs. Frank Swaine and children of Page was over for a few days last week visiting with friends and rela tives of this place. Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Hancock were down from O’Neill Sunday and Mon day visiting relatives and friends, returning home Monday night. Mr. Knapp has nearly completed a large barn on his farm just south of town and contemplates building a nice house there in the near future. L D. Frantz and grand-daughter, Miss June Hancock have returned home from Clara City, Minn., after a pleasant visit with relatives there. Mrs. McCutchan of Spencer came here last Sunday night and intends to make her home near her daughter Mrs. Will Goree, for the rest of her days. Judge Malone and wife came down from O’Neill Sunday and took the early morning train for Lincoln where they will spend a few days at the state fair. The weather we have been having for the last two weeks has greatly de layed and prevented hay making. There being only about one haif of the hay crop put up yet. Miss Edna Gannon, who has been home through vacation, returned to Wisner where she has attended high school for the past two years and is going to attend school this year. Prof. Cunningham, a graduate of Wayne, is the principal of our school this year and is here at present. Miss Eggleston of Ewing has the inter mediate room and Miss Mattie Gif ford,who has taught here for the past two years, will teach the primary grades. School will begin next Mon day, September 13. Disney Items. Clarence Simonson certainly has a lot of apples this year. His trees are bending to the ground. A heavy rain and subsequent bad weather retarded hay making last week, but with two weeks more of nice weather most everybody will be through with their haying. Frank Hatch received a long distance telephone call from his brother Orrin at Cedar Bluffs, Neb., last Friday noon and was instructed to call him up w hen he came to town. Evidently something of great im. portance must be transpiring down there or he would have written in stead. Clark Young had the misfortune to loose one of his oats stacks last Tues day night by lightning. E. D. Henry saw it in dames and telephoned to Mr. Young, then got his water wagon and went to the scene of the conda gration and by a lot of hard work he manager to save three other stacks which were stacked with it. Ernest Goodrich and family, cousins of Colmer Simonson were out visiting them last week. They left their home in Illinois some time ago, and visited Spokane, Wash., and other cities in the west. They were very much impressed with the country and talked some of coming back again to make their home here. This com. munity will be glad to welcome them as neighbors as they have made a good impression on all who have met them. • Ironsides. Cut To One Dollar. The Lincoln Daiiy State Journal wants a few thousand new trial sub scribers and has cut its price from now to Jan. 1,1910, to only $1, or daily and Sunday both $1.25. This is a specially low price for such a news paper and will result in a big business. The Journal stops when the time is out so that people need not be afraid to take one of these special oilers. Its not a trick to get you started. The Journal has greatly enlarged and improved each year and has been having a wonderful growth in its readers. Being the paper of our state capital it is especially the paper for Nebraskans to read, and it has an especially clean lot of readers because the paper itself is clean, having cut out all liquor and objectionable medi cal advertising. The Journal is thoroughly independent, and has been making a determined fight to have our representatives at Washington do something to lower the cost of living. If you want to read not only all of the news of the world, but a practical, helpful newspaper, working in the interests of the masses of Nebraskans, try The Lincoln Journal until Jan., 1, 1910 at this cut price.
