Photograph Company Will Move
The Olson Photograph Company,
which has acquired an er.ormus busi
ness since it embarked in the post card
making, and have long ago outgrown
their present quarters, and have been
negotiating for larger and more room,
where they are now located, but have
failed to be able to get it. So they
have had to look elsew here finding what
they desired at the old Waterman build
ing, over the billiard hall, where they
will move about the first of October.
The Beri-Beri Cases at Alvo
Commissioner Marshall was over to
Alvo last week, to investigate the cases
of beri-beri that seems to have gained
a footing in a Japanese camp of rail
way workers adjoining Alvo. He said
that their were eight cases, that they
were now housed in the cars, and that
they would he provider! with suitable
food. Doctors Jones of Murdock and
Munger of Elmwocxl. were in attend
ance. It is thought they will get along
all right, and proper sanitary precau
tions will be taken. The disease
affects the heart, and r.erve.3 and mus
cles of the lower limbs. When they
tried to climb steps they had not the
power to raise. It is a common com
plaint in Japan, and is said to have
been brought here by a laborer who just
came over. Weeping Water Herald.
Millinery Opening
Owing to the lateness of our millinery
opening we have decided to hold but one
day for the opening of the millinery
season at our store. While" in the east
I made many new selections in the mil
linery line, in fact at our store 5'ou will
find all the new creations direct from
the style confers of New York, where
our big line of goods was purchased and
rushed through by express in order to
accomodate our many customers as
early as possible. We can truthfully
say that we believe we have the largest
most stylish and up-to-the-minute line
of millinery ever on display in Cass
county.
Five thousand dollars worth of the
popular Woo'.tex garments will also be
placed on display at the opening day of
our millinery sale. See the display in
our department store west window. A
new world of style and beauty. Make
it a point to call and see us Saturday.
Yours for many new and startling
bargains in our line. M. F anger.

An Excellent Platform g? Prin
ciples Adopted.
The first state conventions in Nebras
ka under the direct primary system were
held in Lincoln Tuesday by the various
parties to adopt platforms and perfect
party organizations. The democratic
convention had delegates present from
over half the counties in the state. The
great commoner, William J. Bryan, was
present and addressed the convention,
which was the signal for much enthu
siasm. The platform is an interesting
document, and says what it means, and
means what it says. Tom Allen w as re
elected chairman of the state committee,
and in the selection of the new commit
tee, W. D. Wheeler was re-elected from
Cass county. Following is the platform
in full:
The Platform.
We, the democratic party of Ne
braska, in delegate convention assem
bled, express our continued confidence
in, and admiration for, Honorable Wil
liam Jennings Bryan; and reassert our
fidelity to the principles which he has
so ably advocated, and which at this
time are so generally accepted by a
large majority of the people of the
United States.
We rejoice at the increasing signs of
a moral awaking in the United States.
The various investigations have traced
graft and political corruption to the
representatives of predatory wealth and
laid bare the unscrupulous methods by
which they have debauched elections
and preyed upon a defenseless public
through the subservient officials whom
they have raised to place and power.
The conscience of the nation is now
awakened and must not sleep until the
government is freed from the grip of
those who have made it a business as
set of the favor-seeking corporations;
it must become again "a movement of
the people, by the people and for the
peoplt?" and be administered in all it5
' departments according to the JefFerson
j iafi maxim, "equal rights to all and
1 special privilege to none."
; We heartily approve of the laws pro-
hibiting the pass" and the rebate, and
j insist upon further legislation, state and
I national, making it unlawful for any
j corporation to contribute to campaign
! funds, and providing for publication,
i before the election, of all individual
contributions above a reasonable mini-
mum.
j Believing with Jefferson, in "the
j support of the state governments in
all their rights and the most competent
administrations lor our domestic con
cerns and the surest bulwark against
anti-republican tendencies, " andin "the
preservation of the general government
in its whole constitutional vigor, as the
sheet anchor of our peace at home and
safety abroad," we are opposed to the
centralization implied in the suggestion
now frequently made, that the powers
of the general government should be
extended by judicial construction.
While we favor the exercise by the
general government of all its consti
tutional authority for the prevention of
monopoly and for the regulation of in
terstate commerce, we insist that fed
eral remedies shall be added to, and not
substituted for state remedies.
We favor the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people, and regard this reform as the
gateway to all other national reforms.
; A private monopoly is indefensible
and intolerable. We, therefore, favor
the vigorous enforcement of the crimi
nal law against trusts and trust mag
nates, and demand the enactment of
such additional legislation as may be
necessary to make it impossible for a
private monopoly to exist in the United
States. Among the additional remedies
we specify three, first a law compell
ing corporations engaged in interstate
commerce to sell to all purchasers in all
in all parts of the country on
the same terms, after making due
allowance for cost of carriage; second
a law preventing the duplication of di
rectors among competing corporations;
and third a license system which will,
without abridging the right of each
state to create corporations, or its right
to regulate as it will foreign corpora
tions doing busincs within its limits,
make it necessary for all manufactur
ing and trading corporations engaged in
interstate commerce to take out a fed
eral license before it shall Itv ermitted
to control as much as 2-j per cent of the
product in which it deals, the license to
protect the public from watered stock
and to prohibit the control by such cor
poration of more than f0 per cent of the
total amount of any produce consumed
in the United States.
We insist upon the recognition of the
distinction between the natural man
and the artificial person, called a cor
poration, and we favor the enac tment
of such law as may be necessary to
compel foreign corporations to submit
their legal disputes to the courts of the
states in which they do business, and
thus place themselves upon the same
footing as domestic corporations.
We favor an immediate revision of
the tariff by the reduction of import
duty. Articles entering into competi
tion with articles controllvtl by trusts
should be placed upon the free list;
material reductions should be made in
the tariff Upon the necessaries of life,
and reductions should be made in such
other schedules as may be necessary to
restore the tariff to a refonu btM.
We favor an income tax as a part of
our revenue system, and we urge the
submission of a c6nst!tutional amend
ment specifically authorizing congrens
to levy and collect a tax upon individ
ual and corporate incomes, to the end
that wealth may bear its proportionate
share of the burdens of the federal
government. We favor a national in
heritance tax to reach the swollen for
tunes already in existence, but we be
lieve that it is better to permanently
prevent swollen fortunes by abolishing
the privileges and favoritism upon
which they are based.
We assert the right of congress to
exercise coYnplete control over inter
state commerce, and we assert the
right of each state to exercise just as
complete control over commerce within
its borders. We demand such an en
largement of the powers of national
and state railway commissions as may
be necessary to give full protection to
persons and places from discrimination
and extortion. We believe that both
the nation and the various states, should,
first, ascertain the present value of the
railroads, measured by the cost of re
production; second, prohibit the issue
of any more watered stock or fictitious
capitalization; third, prohibit the rail
roads from engaging in any business
which brings them into competition
with their shippers; and fourth, reduce
transpartation rates until they reach a
point where they will yield only a rea
sonable return or? the present value of
of the roads, such reasonable return
bping defined as a return sufficient to
keep the stock of the roud at par when
such roads are honestly capitalized. To
supplement the reductions made by the
various states in passenger rates, we
favor an act of congress, requiring the
railroads to sell interstate tickets at a
rate not exceeding the sum of the local
rate.
We favor the establishment of state
and nationals boards cf arbitration
which shall have authority to investi
gate either upon their own initiative or
at the request of either party, any in
dustrial dispute between corporate em
ployers and their employees, the find
ings of such boards not lo be binding
upon either party but to serve as a
guide to public opinion and as a means
conciliation between labor and capital.
We favor the eight hour day.
"We are opposed to government by
injunction," the system under which
the writ of injunction is used to deny
to laboring men the protection of trial
by jury. We favor full protection, by I
both national and state governments
inheres, of all !
soon as a stable government can be es
tablished, such independence to be
guaranteed by us. as we guarantee the
independence of Cuba, until the neu
tralization of the island t an be secured
j by treaty with other powers. In recog
nizing the independence of the Philip
pines our government should retain
such land as may be necessary for coal
ing stations atid naval basis.
Desiring the prevention of war,
wherever possible, we believe that our
nation should announce it determina
tion not to use our navy for the collec
tion of private debts, and its willing
ness to enter into agreements with oth
er nations, providing for the investiga
tion by an impartial international tri
bunal, before any declaration of war r
commencement of hostilities, of rvery
dispute which defies diplomatic settlement.
Undoubtedly the railroad commission
which was created by uu MvHdnnt to
tho constitution baa no power to tx,
rates, thereforo ve demand that the"
governor shall call an extra session of
the legislature and that that body shall
establish maximum rates ijn grain,
live stock, fruit vegetables, building
material, fuel and such kindred product,
as enter into the necessities of lif--K
Also h stringent anti-pass law, a re
ciprocal demurrage law, and a law di
recting the governor of this state to
appoint a competent commission of at
least fiv!, no more than two of whom
shall bo of one political party, who
shall after due investigation report up
on the physical values and the market
values of all common materials doing
business within the state for the guid
ance of the legislature and the taxing
powers.

Mr. John Carmack and Miss
Mary Kunsman Married
Last Evening.
In the presenc e of a very merry crowd
of very earnest friends of both parties,
at the beautiful home of the father of
the bride, Carl Kunsman last evening,
standing under a large bell, constructed
from Smilax, using the beautiful ring
ceremony, and using the impressive
ceremony of the Episcopal Church,
Canon II. B. Burges joined the lives of
two of our young people, Mr. John Car
mack and Miss Mary Kunsman in holy
matrimony. In the ceremony as used,
Carl Kunsman, the father of the bride,
gave her away, and the groom, Mr.
Carmack, passed the ring to the clerg
man, who in turn passed the same to
the bride, who receiving her ring, in
return passed hers to the groom. Then
followed the beautiful and impressive
ceremony, followed by the benediction,"
asked by Canon Burgess, congratula
tions following. Miss Minnie Guthman
acted in the capacity of bride's maid
and Earnest Wurl aa goomsman.

the admission of Asiatic emigrants who

We welcome Oklahoma to the sister

We favor the speedy completion of

We favor a generous pension policy,

and because it relieves the country of
the neceseity of maintaining a large

We condemn the experiment in im

which has involved us in an enormous
expense, brought us weakness instead
of strength, and laid our nation open
to the charge of abandoning the funda
mental doctrine of self-government.
We favor an immediate declaration of
