ANNOUNCEMENT.
1 here by announce myself as a candi
date for the republican nomination for
Register of Deeds of Cass county, sub
ject to the pleasure of the voters at
the coming (primaries. In asking for
this nomination I desire to call atten
tion to the fact that my services in the
office of county surveyor, while being
largely of a "thank" you" nature, the
remuneration being insullrient fr the
Hupport of a family, have eminently
fitted me for the duties of the office to
which I aspire, and in case 1 Bhould re
ceive the nomination I shall use my
best endeavors to be elected, and will
give to the office my best attention.

LET everybody get behind the First
Annual Business Men's Carnival, and
push hard to make it a great success.
If all take hold of it and push it with
the right spirit it can be made a great
feature, and will be only second to the
Akscrben. It should be a festival that
the people of Cass county may feel
proud of. They will all be here to see
what the business men of the city can
really do when they try. Let us show
the people of southeastern Nebraska
and southwestern Iowa that I'latts
mouth can really do things when it
makes an effort. President Falter of
the Commercial Club has selected some
progressive hustling fellows for the
committee to plan the Carnival. Give
them your hearty co-operation. All
push for the Business Men's Carnival.
Push now, and push all of the time.

possibilities is coming to make use of
the great power of salesmanship by

advertising to be understood, andduring

In view of the economic problem
which constantly attends the changing
ratio of supply and demand, a tariff law
based on protective schedules must
stand firmly on a foundation of expert
information. AtaritT commission which
could ascertain facts upon which con
gress could base rates, would not only
eliminate partisan political feature?,
but would place the matter in a posi
tion for intelligent solution. There are
certainly many things which recom
mend a tariff commission.

THE announcement made by George
L Tobey of his candidacy for congress
is generally accepted as a modern pt
litical joke. We have read the an
nouncement to see what fitness he
could offer which would warrant the
republicans of the first district in sup
porting him for the nomination for cor.
Kress. There seems to be one primary
and about three secondary reason?
The primary reason seems to be that
he is itching for the job. The second
ary reasons seems to be that he served
about eight years as private secretary
or clerk under Congressman Burkett
and then for a short time under Sena'
tor Burkett. Then he acted as secre
tary or chairman of Burkett's congres
sional committee. Then he has been
secretary of one or two local societit
in the city of Lincoln. That looks like
exceeding fitness to represent one of
the greatest agricultural districts in
the National legislature.

advertising campaigns. But for every , noon hugely, entering into the games

and today advertising men have be

If local business men would appreci

to reach out for business, they would
soon find themselves doing a far larger
volume of business. The time for sit

since past. There is no need for any
merchant in this city to be complaining
about trade. There is an abundance of

A Big Little Deal.
A deal was closed in this city FriJay
in which Geo. Born the retired yourg
farmer of this city became owner of
forty acres more of valuable C.vs
county land.
He purchased the land from former
Senator S. L. Thomas and the amount
paid was $"j,MM). This is at the rate of
$125 per acre and is a very reasonable
price, though the land has no improve
ments except being well fenced. The
senator has been disposing of consider
able land recently, this however being
last small tract he owns in this vicinity
though he still owns his old homestead
of 100 acres and this is not for sale.
"Mr. Born the buyer has been very
successful financally and he now owns
about a half-section of choice land in
this county. We venture to state that
he is the youngest retired farmer in
the state who has become wealthy by
his own industry and good judgement.

NEBRARKA'S SENATORS.
Every Nebraskm regardless of parti
sanship should feel proud of Senators
Burkett and Rrown. Burkett's speech
on the lumber schedule and Brown's
speech on the paper and pulp schedule
place these two gentlemen in the fore
front of progressive statesmen. These
two senators have each shown them
selves worthy and it is the duty of the
people of Nebraska to keep them in the
senate.
In speaking of Senator Brown's
speech the Lincoln Journal says:
The speech by Senator Norris Brown
on the paper and pulp schedule, in
which he advocates free paper and free
pulp, was a genuine revelation to the
senate. Senator Blown had not previ
ously appeared in a lengthy or sustained
effort as a debator, and nobody knew
whether he would appear to advantage.
When therefore the Nebraskan got in
to action and conducted himself like a
veteran, taking on all comers and toss
ing them into the air with excellent
humor and readiest, of wit. he made
one of the hits of the session. His sen
atoiial standing went up several hun
dred per cent in the three or four hours
during which be talked. He was cor.
stantly interrupted by both democrats
and republicans, at first with easy
abandon and confidence, but later with
a gingery disposition to keep out of
range of the buzz saw as much as pos
sible. It was many times noted that
the senator conducted himself in a fash
ion remarkably like that of Senator
Deliver.
PROHIBITION IN KANSAS
Governor Stubbs makes the following
statement as to what Prohibition has
done for Kansas:
The fact that Kansas is now and has
been for several years the most proser
oua state in the union; that her banks,
barns and bins are full to overflowing;
: that in sme of her counties no crimi-
j nal prosecutions for any crimes have
been had m more than ten years; that
50 per cent of her jails are empty; that
T.r) per cent of her poor houses are emp
ty and in many counties have been Fold
' and disposed of as no longer needful;
that nlmost one-third of her entire pop-
! ulntion is enrolled in public schools and j
I private colleges; that Kansas is a land j
i of plenty and that r.ou here in the globe !
