office of sheriff and now seeking re
election for the second term for this
office.
L During my term I have tried to en
force, the law fairly and Impartially,
protecting the Interests of the tax
payers of Cas3 county, in the hand
ling of crime of all nature and in
the handling of the business affairs
of the office of sheriff.
Those who have had business with
the office of the county sheriff have
received the best service possible and
the law enforcement has been made
with a just regard for the laws of
the state and the protection of the
interests of the good people of Cass
county.
My desire in the discharge of the
office has been to make the law a
vor in his auto, and also visit- ( tection to tne le of tne coun.
t Murdock for a short time on,Jy and nQt tQ ter,riM the tax pay-
era and residents of the county to
fairly and impartially give my fnll
time and service to the people who
have called me to the office of chief
law enforcing officer of the county.
If re-nominated and re-elected to
the office of sheriff, I will do ray ut
most to serve the best interests of
of Edward Brunkow during the past
week, and are having many calls all
the time for their work, as things are
getting very dry all around.
The Alvo Sunday School League
lascball team went over to Murdock
on last Friday where they engaged
the team of that town in a game, but
as to how they succeeded we are not
as yet advised, though we know they
must have had a good game.
Mrs. C. H. Kirkpatrick, who is
visiting with friends and relative in
Texas, writes very interestingly of
the country there and says that she
is enjoying the visit very much, but
would also like to be at home again
and expects to return in a short
time.
W. W. Coatman, living south of
Alvo, iias not been feeling very good
for seme time past, and was unable
to work a portion of the time last
week and was compelled to seek the
services of a doctor. He. however, is
hoping to be enjoying his usual health
again soon.
The threshing about Alvo and vi
cinity is making good progress and
is showing very satisfactory returns,
especially when it is considered that
the crop would be very light on ac
count of the wind and dry weather,
not to say anything about the chinch
hugs. ?No one is kicking about the
better conditions.
There were a number of the young
people of Alvo visiting in Omaha on
last Monday night, it being Otoe and
Cass county night at the Ak-Sar-Ben
Lrcn and many availed themselves of
the opportunity of enjoying the show
as well as having a laugh or two at
the expense of some of their fellow
townsmen who were "hooked" for a
bit of initiation.
John Skinner says business is good,
for he was in Omaha last week with
stock on Monday for A. H. Lorenz. of
touth of Alvo. and on Tuesday with
stock for R. C. Wenzel. of just north
of Eagle. On Wednesday he and Ed
ward Carr were over to the big city
and to the stock market with a truck
load of very fine porkers for that gen
tleman. Thursday he had a pick-up
load of one from a number of differ
ent parties.

Mr. and Mrs. Dan Menchau,

their trip and assure all that they

and that -Mr. C. C. Bucknell has some
very nice wheat and it it making a
good yield.
. Mr. and Mrs. George Bucknell of
Greenwood, were visiting on Sunday
at the home of Dan Menchau and wife
the enforcement of all laws of the
state.
With the record of my conduct of
the office in the past two years, I
feel justified in seeking your sup
port for re-election to the office of
sheriff and will ffepreciate your sup
port. EL P. STEWART,
Sheriff of Cass- county,
Nebraska.
