LAWRENCE CHAPMAN.
B. T. Winchell of Chambers has filed
for the democratic nomination for
county assessor. Mr. Winchell is one
of the old-time farmers of the south
country and has been quite prominent
in public affairs for several years.
-o
Bryon Mossman of Inman township
has fiiled for the republican nomina
tion for county assessor. Mr. Moss
man is one of the old-time settlers of
Inman township and is a man that is
particularly well qualified for the
position of county assessor.
Ed. Harding, one of the pioneer set
tlers of Rock Falls township, has filed
for the republican nomination for
county assessor, subject to the ap
proval of the republican electors at the
primary next April. Mr. Harding is
well qualified for the position for
which he aspires.
-o
Joseph Schollmeyer has filed as a
candidate for the democratic nomina
tion for supervisor from the Second
district, now represented by H. W.
Tomlinson. This makes the third
candidate for the nomination in this
district, the other candidate being T. S.
Roche of Iowa township and H. W.
Tomlinson.
-o
C. J. Malone has filed as a non
partisan candidate for county judge,
his filing being completed the first of
the week. Judge Carlon has also filed
for re-election and, as there will
probably be no other candidates, the
scrap for the position will be between
these two candidates at the general
election next November.
-o
Peter Du:ffey of Atkinson has filed
for the democratic nomination for
sheriff. Peter is one of the old timers
of the county, having been a resident
of Saratoga township for a number of
years until he disposed of his holdings
j there and moved to Atkinson some five
years ago. This is his first entry into
the political game and he is going up
against a strong candidate, when he
contests for the election with Sheriff
Grady, who has filed for re-election.

Wants to See You
This is a good way to figure up and
sec what you lose by not trading with
me:
6c Goods.3 for 10c
10c Goods.3 for 25c
26c Goods .18 to 20c
50c Goods .2 for 76c
$1.00 Goods.66c
$1.00 Goods.$1.15
Best Flour $1.35 per bag, one bag to
each customer.
Catalogue houses—Peddlers can
not deliver the goods on this margin.
Secret Service Agents can catch
mail order managers who take your
money without shipping the goods but
they cannot return your money. Never
send money till you get the goods.
Don’t buy a pig in a sack.
What are you going to do this
election. Are you going to stay in the
fields and work. Don’t Do It. .Get all
the voters who will stick and vote
solid for men who will do something
for this County when they get into
office. Men who will stick up for the
County’s interests even if they loose
out by doing so.
Candidates will tell you how much
they did for the County and how much
they do for the town but when they
go home at night they pull out Seard
and Rotstock’s catalogue and send
away the money the people of
this county paid in. Those men we
don’t want. They are not for the good
of the county or the town. They are
for their own good and they will not
be good officers.
They don’t care for the county and
they don’t care for the town. They
don’t care what happens so they get
an easy job. These stores in the
little towns in this county are doing
the best they can. They deserve the
business on what they sell.
Did the catalogue houses ever give
one of your relatives a job. Did they
ever give a nickel to a church. Did
they ever give a penny to the poor.
Did they ever attend a funeral or help
you when you were in trouble?
When the fire bell rings do Sears
and Roebuck grab the Hook and Lad
der. Well, if they d-' then vote for the
men who support them by sending
Holt county money. If not, crack it
to them.
Cash Does It
has filed for the democratic nomination
for supervisor from the Sixth district,
formerly represented by him and now
represented by J. 0. Hubbell. Sam
has an extended acquaintance over the
district and there promises to be a
pretty scrap between him and Super
visor Hubbell, should they be the
nominees of their respective parties, at
the general election.
-o
Aldrich Well Qualified.
In presenting his candidacy for
United States Senator Ex-Governor
Aldrich has a substantial record of ac
complishments to urge in showing his
qualifications. And that these ac
complishments are real qualifications
is known to every student of Nebraska
history because the matters with which
Aldrich has been connected have been
directly and substantially beneficial to
the people of his state.
Take his freight rate law for in
stance. You can’t very well argue
with a shipper in car load lots of such
commodities as hogs, cattle, sheep,
horses, coal, lumber, etc.; that Ald
rich’s law reducing rates on the things
just mentioned 15 per cent has not
been a substantial benefit to them ? It
is quite natural for the shippers of Ne
braska to say that a man who could
accomplish this alone is big enough
and able enough to represent them at
Washington.
The man who remembers that Mr.
Aldrich was active in the passage of a
law that saves him a dollar every time
he travels a hundred miles on the train
is pretty apt to think the Ex-Governor
has some qualifications for this
position.
When Governor Aldrich appeared
before the Conference of Governors in
New Jersey back in 1911 and aroused
thm to the danger of having all pas
senger and freight rate laws in the
West annualled by judicial interpre
tion of the U. S. Federal courts he dis
closed at that time his ability to be
come a leader even in a body composed
of such distinguished men as Governor
Wilson, Governor, now Senator Hoke
Smith of Georgia, Judson Harmon, At
torney General of the U. S. in the
Cleveland Administration, Herbert S.
Hadley. Governor of Missouri, Gov
ernor Hawley of Idaho law partner of
Senator Borah, and many others.
No, the man who says Aldrich is not
qualified, ably qualified for this posi
tion, is not stating a fact. He is giv
ing a prejudiced opinion. The gov
ernor has the record to back him up.
Harding States His Position.
In filing for the nomination of
County Asesssor I am aware of the
movement to discontinue the office of
county assessor. If it becomes clear
to me that the office is an unnecessary
expense to this county I shall vote to
discontinue it as I do not desire to
foster myself like a leach on the
county pay roll for any personal
reasons. It is a question of interest
to every tax payer in the county and it
is for them to say whether they wish
to go back to the old system when it
is piled up in the county clerks office
more or less indiscriminately with the
added force he must hire to handle it.
The assessment of this county is not
the simple matter it was twelve years
ago when this county changed to the
new system. Yours truly,
L. E. HARDING.
Mrs. Naomi Ellis.
Page Reporter: Naomi Hall was
born in Knox county, Ohio, January 10,
1832, and died at Page, Nerbaska, Feb
ruary 21, 1910, aged 84 years, 1 month
and 11 days. In 1852 she came with
her brothers and sisters to Iowa, where
in 1867 she was married to Sidney
Ellis, who proceeded her to the great
beyond 29 years ago.
She united with the Church of
Christ in her youth. Her brothers
and sisters have all passed over and of
the immediate family she leaves to
mourn her loss a son, W. A. Ellis of
Dorsey, and a daughter, Mrs. Eunice
Harris of Page, besides eight grand
children and numerous friends.
Rev. Jones conducted the service in
Page, and Rev. Meyers conducted the
service at the home of her son. Burial
was beside her husband in the Star
cemetary.
Whiting Bridge Intact.
Spencer Advocate: The report be
came current the first of the week
that the approach to the Whiting
bridge had been taken out by high
water. Investigation proved the re
port erroneous. The bridge and ap
proaches are all in good condition and
people are crossing every day. The
water got out of its banks and over
flowed the bottom south of the bridge,
and for a time it was feared might cut
a new channel, but at last accounts this
danger was passed. The bridge has
been watched pretty closely and some
dynamiting has been done to break the
ice gorges. The new grade put in last
summer has stood the test and came
through in good shape and shows the
wisdom of the supervisors in ap
propriating enough money for a good
job and insisted on a grade being put
in that would “stay put.” Reports
tend to show that the Whiting bridge
is the only bridge across the Niobrara
intact, west of the government bridge
at Niobrara.
A Specific Against Colds.
The nearest thing to a specific
against colds is a sleeping porch or
open bed room and a cold sponge
bath every morning when you first get
up. Even then you will occasionally
take a cold, especially when colds are
epidemic, and when you do you will
find Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy a
great help in enabling you to get rid
of it. Try it. Obtainable everywhere.

W. C. T. U. COLUMN.
Edited by the Ladies of the Local
W. C. T. U.
Central Christian Advocate: Some
establishments hire men, pump the
life-blood out of ’em, and then fire ’em.
For blood is cheaper than machines.
Central Christian Advocate: Prohi
bition doesn’t prohibit. But the liquor
trade doesn’t agree with you. Here is
Bonfort’s Wine and Spirit Circular,
and it has this to say on how “Prohi
ibition don’t prohibit:” “The thoughful
dement in our trade must by this time
•ealize that the fight that is being
waged against alcoholic beevrages is
gigantic ini its conception, compre
hensive in its scope, intensely aggres
sive in its nature and destructive in its
-esults.” No, the chestnut bell rings
iow when you say, “Prohibition don’t
irohibit.”
Russia and Temperance.
Centrial Christian Advocate: In
Russia, when vodka was on sale, the
average annual savings banks deposits
were from sixteen million to twenty
million dollars.
Five months after vodka was pro
hibited, the former vodka drunkards
put into the savings banks of Russia in
hne month, January, 1915, thirty mil
lion dollars, or just about twenty-four
dmes its usual monthly deposit.

The Evidence Is At Your Door.
O’Neill proof is what you want and
the statement of this highly respected
resident will banish all doubt:
H. W. Ritts, carpenter, O’Neill, says:
“I suffered from a weak and aching
back and whenever I stooped, I had
sharp twinges through my loins. After
sitting for awhile, it was all that I
could do to get up. Two boxes of
Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured at Gilli
gan & Stout’s Drug Store, rid me of
the trouble and I am glad to say that
the cure has been permanent.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
cured Mr. Ritts. Foster-Milburn Co.,
