The democrats elected a governor
in Kentucky this fall by less than 300
majority. Can it be that the demo
cratic solid south is disintegrating ?
.o
Champ Clark has pledged the presi
dent his support of the latters army
and navy program. Naturally Champ
would be in favor of the movement if
Bryan opposed it, and vice-versa.
.A._
W. J. Bryan is opposed to Wilson’s
program of a larger army and navy
and the consensus of opinion is that
he will attempt to prevent the re
nomination of the president at the
next democratic national convention.
-o
President Wilson is now urgently
advocating a greater army and navy
and the plans of the administration
call for the expenditure of ships and
other war material and is being sup
ported by a large portion of his party
that was elected pledged to an
economic administration.

A Republican Swing.
Fremont Tribune: There is not
sufficient opportunity at Tuesday’s
election for much proof of the political
trend of things. National issues were
involved only to small extent. But
such opportunity as was presented in
dicates a decisive swing republican
ward. The outstanding feature was
the disappearance of the Progressive
party, which means the amalgamation
of those forces with the republicans
once more. In Massachusetts the
state election was waged on national
issues very largely, and for the first
time in six years the republicans won
a governor, at the same time increas
ing their strength in the legislature.
Two aditional members of congress
were gained by them in New York and
Pennsylvania, to fill vacancies. In
New Jersey, the president’s own state,
gains were made in the legislature
which has an overwhelming republi
can majority. The magic of the presi
dent’s name doesn’t seem to have
much effect at home.
There is nothing to be gained by
anyone deceiving himself, but it ap
pears quite clear that the masses of
the people are not enamored with this
administration, which precipitated a
panic when it came in and which got
us uselessly into a bad mess in Mexico.
-o
Upsets Apple Cart.
Lincoln News: William J. Bryan
is the Peck’s Bad Boy of American
politics. Whenever he see things go
ing along smoothly, he devises some
scheme, always effective, of disturb
ing harmony. It does not appear on
the surface that he upsets apple carts
because of an impish disposition, but
there are nucounted numbers of demo
crats who believe that very same
thing. The democrats of the nation
have been trying their best to cover
up one big division that exists in their

midst and thought they had succeeded
when the president, from a prcifist.
had turned into a big army and navy
man and then had blown cold on this
proposition. They believed this would
catch them coming and going, which
is always the thing the politican is
striving for. Along comes Bryan and
remarks that this policy doesn’t suit
him and he will appeal to the people to
see if they approve of his idea or that
of the president. Then the gnashing
of teeth begins and the newspapers
take to hammering him as a man
desirous of splitting the party. This
national scrap is being reproduced in
miniature here in the state, where the
politicans are complaining bitterly be
cause Bryan doesn’t play the game ac
cording to the old rules. Splitting the
party is a most heinous offense in the
eyes of men who use a party for their
own benefit, but the general public
doesn’t care a rap about it. It wants
to know, who’s right and what’s right ?

How to Prevent Croup.
It may be a surprise to you to learn
that in many cases croup can be pre
vented. Mrs. H. M. Johns, Elida,
Ohio, relates her experience as fol
lows: “My little boy is subject to
croup. During the past winter I kept
a bottle of Chamberlain’s Croup
Remedy in the house, and when he
began having that croupy cough I
would give him one or two doses of it
and it would break the attack. I like
it better for children than any other
cough medicine because children take
it willingly, and it is safe and re
liable.” Obtainable everywhere. 21-4
Pfeiler-Brennan.
Married, at the Catholic church, in
this city, last Wednesday morning,
Jacob A. Pfeiler of Hot Springs, S.
D., and Miss Margaret Brennan of this
city, Rev. M. F. Cassidy officiating.
Immediately after the wedding
ceremony the bridal couple repaired to
the palatial home of the bride’s
mother where a splendid wedding
breakfast was served after which Mr.
and Mrs. Pfeiler left on the North
western for an extended trip in the
east, after which they will make their
home at Hot Springs.
The groom is one of Hot Springs’
leading business men and while he is a
stranger to us, judging from what
the bride is worthy of, he is a good and
noble man.
The bride is the daughter of Mrs.
Neil Brennan and is one of O’Neill’s
fairest young ladies. She was born
and grew to womanhood in this city
and now that she leaves to preside
over her own home she carries with *
her the best wishes of all the people of
this city for a long and happy life.

Tornado Hits Kansas.
Twelve persons were killed and more
than 100 injured, many of them
seriously, in a tornado which swept
through the residence section of
Great Bend, Kansas, last Wednesday i
night. i
The property loss is estimated at i
half a million dollars. The city water j
plant, a laundry, three flouring mills, ]
the Santa Fe depot and fifty resi
dences were demolished. Santa Fe ]
passenger train No. 5, narrowly es- i
caped the path of the twister, which 1
swept though the southern part of the <
city. I
Several thousand sheep were killed,
the animals being hurled into the air
as the wind struck their feeding place, i
The city was in total darkness and (
without water supply.
Many of those injured were caught ]
in their homes, which were picked up i
from their foundations and twisted 1
and crushed into a mass of debris. i
Fire broke out in several of the t
houses, and as the city was without <
fire protection, they burned to the j
ground. (
Walnut Creek, Moses Brothers and <
the Hulme companies were the three (
flour mills destroyed. In the struct- c
ures several men working night shifts i
were killed.
A long line of freight cars were
overturned by the twister when the
Santa Fe depot crashed in. (
A path three quarters of a mile 1
long and several blocks in width, was i
cut through the residencme district. ]
Here the heaviest toll of life was ex- <]
acted. r

Summary of Week's News.
At Douglas, Arizona, last week
Corp. Jones of Company G, Seventh a
Infantry, was shot through both thighs v
by a Carranza soldier, who leaped
from his trench at Agua Prieta, shout
ing: “Viva Carranza,” and fired six
shots at Jones, who was on patrol
duty near the boundry in the rear of
the customs house. Jones is not
seriously wounded. Gen. Villa deliv
ered his long-expected attock on the
Carranza garrison of Agua Prieta
Monday, and within two hours after
the first gun was fired machine bullets
and shell fragments showered over
American territory, seriously wound
ing Louis F. Taylor, an American, and
endangering scores of American
soldiers in trenches south of the United
States Army camp, two miles east of
Douglas.
Gen. Sauberzweig, military gover
nor of Brussels, who is generally be
lieved to have been responsible for
the final refusal to grant the American
minister’s request for the postpone
ment of the execution of Miss Edith
Cavell, has been removed from office
and a new military governor appointed.
“It is noteworthy,” the correspondent
further says, “that last week the em
peror made a tour of the principal
towns in Belgium occupied by the
Germans. His presence may be as
sumed to have resulted in the removal
of Gen. Sauberzweig.”
It is generally understood in Wash
ington that Great Britain, France and
Russia intend to extend recog
nition to Carranza in the same form
as did the United States and at an
early date.
At Washington Monday arrange
ments were made by Senator Chamber
lain, chairman of the senate military
affairs committee, to begin the draft
ing immediately of the series of bills
which will be introduced at the open
ing of congress to carry out the army’s
party of the administration’s national
defense program. The senator had a
conference with Secretary Garrison,
who promised that officials of the War
Department would give every possible
aid in preparing the measures. Con
gress will be asked to appropriate
110,000,000 this year for the organized
militia of the country, or just about
double the average amount asked by
the War Department for this purpose
during the last few years.
At Duquoin, 111., the wedding of
Charles Bransfield, aged 83, and Mrs.
Nancy Mexo, aged 79, both of Sand
ridge, has been announced. The two
dad been sweethearts before the war,
but after a lovers’ quarrel parted.
Bransfield served through the war with
Confederate troops and later came to
Murphysboro. The couple renewed
their old friendship and the wedding
followed.
In Washington official announce
ment has been made that the marriage
nf President Wilson and Mrs. Galt
will take place “near the close of
December,” and that it will be private
it Mrs. Galt’s home there. The state
ment was issued by Secretary Tumul
;y: “In order to quiet speculation,
President Wilson and Mrs. Norman
3alt today authorized the announce
ment that their marriage will take
place near the close of December,
rheir plans are for a simple cere
mony. It will be performed at Mrs.
Salt’s residence. No invitations will
)e issued, and it is expected that the
inly guests will be the members of
;he families.”
Upon the complaint of cook in a Bis
nee (Ariz.) restaurant, the United
States Supreme Court in Washington
Monday annulled as unconstitutional
;he Arizona alien labor law enacted
nto law about a year ago by the vote
>f the people under the initiative pro
cess of legislation. The statute re
tired employers of more than five
jersons to employ not less than 80

Mike Raich, an Austrian cook, upon
>eing notified that he would be flis
harged because of the law, appealed
o the courts and when he won the
itate took the case to the highest
ribunal.
“It has been learned from trust
vorthy but unofficial sources,” says a
lispatch to Reuter’s Telegram Com
