If the democratic party had u few
angels like Chairman Raskob, of the
National committee, it would be a
Rnap conducting campaigns. He re
cently donated $100,000.00 to the com
mittee. Democrats can no longer refer
to their party as the party of the poor
man.
Ruth Bryan Owen, daughter of the
late W. J. Bryan, who has been a mem
ber of congress the past four years
from the Fourth Florida congress
ional district, was defeated for re
nomination last week. Mrs. Owen,
while an ardent dry, had promised
to support a referendum on the liquor
question. Her opponent, Mark Wilcox
who won the nomination, is a wet.
Minnesota has appropriated $50,
000.00, Iowa $45,000.00 and the latest
is that Governor Uryun has spent a
bout Sd.500 to purchase poison bran
with which to fight the grasshopper
pleaguc-. Forty of the ninety-three
counties in this state have asked for
aid in the fight. Twenty-two counties
in Minnesota are infested and in Iowa
all counties bordering on the Missouri
river have reported the pest and there
were indications that it was working
eastward. Rain has killed some of the
young hoppers und delayed the hatch
ing of others but it is feared that with
the full heat of summer the pests will
fall upon the crops and ruin them be
fore they can be harvested.
The republican national convention,
late Wednesday night, adopted the
majority report of the resolutions
committee on the liquor question. This
provides for a referendum, the matter
to be submitted by congress to the
several states and the latter to settle
the matter in state conventions, the
federal government to reserve con
trol of the question in the states that
does not desire to be wet. and outlaw
ing the saloons. The minority re
port of the committee provided for
the repeal of the eighteeth amend
ment. The vote was taken on the
amendment and 472 voted for the mi
nority report and <>81 against it
The administration was strongly be
hind the majority report or the result
might have been otherwise, as many
of the slopping wet states voted for
the majority report. The Nebraska
delegation cast one vote for the minor
ity report. j
Brief Items
While on their way home from u
dance at Danceland last Sunday, Em
met Carr’s auto was struck by lighten
ing, on the Shaughensey corner just
south east of this city and totally
destroyed. Emmet and his brother,
Patrick, were in the car and neither
of the boys were injured.
Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Weekes left last
Sunday morning for Rochester, Minn.,
where Mr. Weekes will consult physi
cians at the clinic there. John suf
fered a severe attack of the flu about
six weeks ugo and his recovery not
being as rapid as he wished, decided
to .go to Rochester for a thorough
medical examination.
Mrs. Ida Ulbrich, who came from
her home at Los Angeles, Calif., to
attend the funeral of her father, the
late L. C. Chapman and who has since
been visiting her mother here, left for
Omaha Monday morning where she
will visit at the home of her brother
for a few days and then proceed to
her home on the western coast.
Judge Dickson and reporter McEl
haney drove over to Butte last Mon
day morning, where the Judge held
the regular spring equity term of
court on Monday and Tuesday, return
ing home Tuesday evening. They will
hold the equity terms of court in
Keya Paha, Rock and Brown counties
on Friday and Saturday of this week.
Jack Morrison, the eight year old
son of Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Morrison,
fell from a tree back of their horip
last Tuesday noon and for a time it
was feared that he was seriously in
jured, but he has been resting easy
this afternoon and no ill effects are
ezpeoted from the fall. After the fall
the little lad lay unconscious for six
hours.
Saturday will be the last day that
trains No. 11 and 22, on the North
western will run through this city.
Hereafter these trains will run only
from Omaha to Oakdale. So commenc
ing Sunday there will be but one train
a day. And the railrodas continue to
lose money. We do not see how
they can expect to make money if
they do not run any trains.
At a meeting of the City Council
Tuesday evening they purchased an
Internationa! Truck equipped with
W. D. Knott Company fire appuratus,
which will include a pump with a cap
acity of .'150 gallons a minute. When
the new equipment arrives the fire
department will be well equipped to
fight fire and the installation of this
new fire truck and pump should re
duce insurance rates in this city.
Flag Day, Tuesday, June 14th, was
celebrated by most of the business
houses of the city by having Old
Glory wave from the flag poles in
front of their respective business
places. One ardent democrat, not
thinking that it was flag day, said he
was surprised to see “so and so” a
life long democrat, flying the flag
today. He could think of only one
reason and that was that it was in
honor of the republican national con
vention which is in session in Chicago
and he said: “Why he must have
changed his politics” and he walked
up the street muttering to himself.
To the old timers that remember the
lain that fell over this county in the
summer of 1894, just after the rain
maker's contract had expired, we want
to call attention to the rainfall that
thoroughly soaked this county last
Thursday afternoon. If you cun re
cnll that rain you will remember that
there was hardly any thunder and
lightening and no wind, the clouds just
opened up and the moisture fell down
on a thoroughly parched earth. Many
there were who wanted to give the
rainmaker credit for the rain, ns they
claimed they had never seen such a
rainfall in this section before. The
rain here lust Thursday was a dupli
cate of that rnin—except that the
rainfall last week was about twice as
much as that of 1894—no wind, hardly,
any thunder or lightening, the clouds
just seemed to open up and in the
few hours that it rained, 2.13 inches
of rain fell,the heaviest that has fallen
in this county for several years.

PLEASANT DALE

this part of the county this spring.
Four inches of rain fell the latter part
of last week. Sunday night at 10
o’clock there was a heavy hail and
wind storm which completely destroyed
all crops and gardens in this part of
the neighborhood. The stones were

twm inches thick on the ground. The

stones which were not all melted by
10 o’clock Monday. At three o’clock
Monday morning there was another
heavy downpour of rain and some hail.
Some of the farmers are going to re
plant corn as soon as they can get
into the fields. This will be the third
planting for some.
