HENRY D. 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.

ing and gaazing land will be opened

2-CENT LAW IN BALANCE
Testimony Will Be Taken Septem
ber 20 In Notable Railroad Case.
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.

MINOR MENTION
F. M. 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.

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.

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.
