The Spanish can hardly be blamed
for the latest Maine disaster.
Stuart Advocate: Hon. H. A. Allen
and D. H. Cronin, the republican
nominees for representatives, are old
residents of Holt county, and have
been prominent In public matters for
many years, are acquainted with our
neads and will make ideal representa
tives.
Shallenberger has announced that
he will not accept the populist nomi
nation for governor and make the race
upon that ticket unleas he also re
ceives the democratic nomination. As
the Omaha mayor has the democratic
nomination hog-tied the governor will
probably retire to his Harlan county
farm after January 1st.
Poindexter, the insurgent candidate
for United States senator in Wash
ington, swept the state with a major
ity of over 40,000 at the primary elec
tion held in that state the first of|the
week. Judging from the returns it
would not take the voters of Wash
ington long to tie a tin can to Secre
tary Ballinger if they were given the
opportunity.
Prior to the primary election Con
gressman Hitchcock appealed for votes
on the grounds that he bad supported
measures advocated and supported
by such good Insurgents as Congress
man Norris of Nebraska. Now Hitch
cock, though the columns of his World
Herald, |is denouncing Norris and
boosting Sutherland, the democartlc
nominee and former member of con
gress from that district.
For the first time in over a quarter
of a century the democrats of Maine
have elected their governor and they
also elected a democratic legislature
and the next United States senator
from that state will be a democrat.
Maine has not been represented in the
senate by a democrat since 1863. The
democratic victory was a revolt of in
surgent republicans against the re
publican bosses and was fought out
upon local Issues.
One of the latest rumors in state
politics is to the effect that the popu
list state committee will place T. H.
Tibbies at the head of their ticket as
a candidate for governor. This is the
program the democrats want the com
mittee to carry out as they believe
with Tibbies on the popjjlist ticket
the vote of the drys in the st ate will
be split between Aldrich and Tibbies
while Dahlman will be able to muster
the solid vote of the wets. Many popu
lists are opposed to this and they want
i
the committee tolndoFse the repub
lican nominee, believing that he comes
nearing representing the principles
that the party stands for than the
democratic nominee.
-4-+~i
W. J. Taylor the populist nominee
for congress from this district and
Judge Dean the democratic nominee
have agreed tb let their dlfferencee be
adjusted by the state committees of
both parties and the committee will
select the Candidate to make the race
against the republican nominee. The
Frontier predicts now that the
machine will ditch Taylor, the popu
list nominee, and give the nomination
to Dean, as the democrats have no
use for a populist except to secure
the votes of thejbelievers in that party
for the democratic candidates. If they
should select Taylor to make the race
then the populists will have to put an
out and out county optionist upon
their ticket for governor to prevent
the populists from voting for the re
publican nominee and assisting Dahl
man. Watch this predictiion.
In the recount of the votes cast at
the primary election in Omaha Shall
berger gained 72 votes on Dahlman.
This reduces Dahlman’s majority to
about 230 with South Omaha and the
country precincts to recount. Shall
enberger announces that he will take
the matter into court if not success
ful in securing enough votes in the
recount to nominate him. If the mat
ter is taking into court it may
be decided before election
but the chances are that it will not
be settled for months. If Dahlman
secures the certificate of nomination
from the state board his name will go
upon the ballot as the democratic
ncynlnee, unless restrained by an order
of court. Whether Shallenberger or
Dahlman is the nominee is unimpor
tant to tlie people at large as Aldrich
will be the next governor of Nebraska.
The Democratic Text Book.
St. Paul Pioneer Press: The cam
paign book Issued by the National
Democratic Congressional committee
will prove a disapolntment to citizens
who have desired to be informed upon
the Democratic attitude on national
issues, and to secure in some compact
form the figures and arguments upon
which the democrats propose to make
their Congressional campaign.
The campaign book comprises 51b
pages of extracts from the 'Congres
lonal Record.” This makes for econ
omy In a way, as the committee can
send the book out under the frank of
any member of Congress, but the vot
er thristing for Information or argu
ments finds It Impossible to attempt
to get definite or accurate Instruction
from the document. The speeches,
for the most part, were delivered while
appropriation and other bills were
pending and many of the evils decried
against by the speakers were elimin
ated before the billls were passed. To
that extent the arguments advanced
in the speeches are misleading.
The committee draws no conclu
sions, offers no declaration of princi
ples or remedy for existing conditions.
The book, as a whole, simply repre
sents a democratic note of protest al
most of the muckraking variety. It
does not contain a constructive line,
and as a vote getting proposition
might as well not have been Issued.

homestead or desert entry, a man can
take 320 acres of either. It is rich soil,

see grass 8 to 10 inches high, that was
as dry and brown as the road ten days

Mr. Chairman:
Whereas the bridge across the Nio
brara River joining the Counties of
Holt and Boyd and known as the Par
sliall bridge has been partially des
troyed by the action of high water
and five spans of the same have been
washed out and said bridge is abso
lutely unsafe and Impassable and
whereas the public good requires that
said span ought to pe replaced and
said bridge repaired and rendered
passable at the earliest possible date,
the expense of said repairing to be
borne equally by the counties of Boyd
and Holt.
I move that notice in writing be
served upon the County Board of Sup
ervisors of Boyd County, Nebraska, re
are advertising for carpenters. Wages
are *4 to #5 a day. Wish Chas. Fowler
was here to get his share. The resi
dence part of town has some fine
buildings and nice shady yards and
gardens, fruit trees when water is put
on either hydrant (city water from
stand pipe) or windmills. Probably
there Is forty or fifty windmills in
town, said to be cheaper than hyd
rant for lawns. The south part, old
Mexican part, is mostly adobe build
ings and many scattered all through,
some fifty years old. There are some
well developed farms In the valley
with pumping plants that throw 1,500
gallon of water per minute. One party
with alfalfa and other (crops has been
offered #100 per acre for his farm
There is a great chance to buy land
three to five miles out and let it lay
as an investment or develop it if they
have #1,200 to put in a pumping plant.
1 have written a long letter, and I
feel much improved.

The Live Stock Market
South Omaha, Neb., Sept. 14.—Spec
ial market letter from Standard Live
Stock Commission Co.
The cattle run this week appears to
be a little lighter than the previous
week and there is a brisk active trade
with values steady to a little firmer.
There seems to be a scarcity of the
good killers. Feeder buyers are as
plentiful as ever and unless the bal
ance of the week should bring unex
pectedly heavy receipts the prospects
are for a steady market.
We quote:
Fair to choice beeves. 7.00(ai 8.00
Others down to. 4.50
Cornfed cows and heifers up to 5 50
Fair to good . 3.50@ 4.25

The fresh meat trade takes the bulk
of these light hog receipts and while
the tendency has been strong the mar
ket fluctuates sharply either way. Bulk
*9.00 to *9.25, top #9.60.
Sheep receipts are some lighter than
last week but still very liberal. The
demand is actrve and prices a shade
higher.
Ewing Roller Mills Change Hands.
Ewing Advocate: A very import
ant business transaction was closed
last week, when Hubert Rothletutner
of Tonic, came into possession of tbe
Ewing Roller Mills property, consist
ing of the mill property, and all other
lands and buildings connected which
were owned by M. T. Sanders. In the
same deal Mr. Sanders was deeded the
Rothleutner ranch, which is sit uated

at one o’clock in the afternoon of said
date, said meeting of said County
Board of Supervisors of Boyd County
to be held at Butte in said County
when and where the County Board of
Supervisors of Holt County, Nebraska,

near the Tonic postotllce, and expects
to move his family there.
This transaction came as a surprise
to Ewing residents, as Mr. Sanders
had been up to the time of disposal
continually improving and making
the mill modern throughout. lie has
been one of Ewing’s foremost men for
a number of years, having started and
by his progressive ideas and straight
dealings built up a large and profitable
business in flour and feed. Our one
hope is that Mr. Sanders will soon see
fit to launch another enterprise in
Ewing in the near future. To Mr.
Rothleutner, who is well and favor
ably known in this community, we be
speak the same liberal patronage that
has has always been tendered M. T.
Sanders as proprietor of the Ewing
Roller Mills.
