Brick and Lumber Coming Down in Good Condition
- Nearly Sufficient Material Will be Secured
for the f!rntrnrtirn nf I ihertv v :
" . .. Building ',' "' "
LABOR EXPENSE VERY HEAVY
Those Who are Delinquent for Subscription Should Pay Without Longer
- Delay. We Need the Money.
As stated last week we purchased the
large two-story and basement brick
building located at West Lincoln, built
several years ago by John Fitzgerald.
The work of wrecking and tearing it
down has begun and the indications
and results obtained so far are better
than was expected. No cement wa3
used in the mortar and nearly every
brick is as clean when it is picked up
as the day it was put in the wall.
They are naturally clean, but come
up easily and almost none are broken.
The long timbers are all white pine
In the rough .and as good as the day
they, were put in the building. The
window and door casings and frames
were all removed without difficulty and
are in first class condition. Almost all
of them can be used in Liberty Build
ing -without alteration. The base
board was nearly all in condition V
be used again . and even the quarter
rounds are in fair condition. Twenty
thousand lath were saved. Much of the
flooring can be used again- The ma
terial will be hauled to town and.the
work of construction will be pushed as
rapidly as possible. The heavy ; ex
pense at this time is the-labor and all
the funds we can raise are needed to
meet it. Those who have cards should
dispose of them as rapidly as possible.
Those who are delinquent for subscrip
tion should pay without longer delay.
The quicker we can get the building
enclosed and occupy It the quicker wo
will stop the expense of $65 per month
for rent. That saving will enable us
to improve The Independent in many
lines. It is, now the leading paper of
its class th the United States, but wc
promise you that when we can reduce
our running expenses we will make .'t
still better. "The half was .never
told" of the extortions ana corrupt
practices of the corporations and plu
tocracy. We'll tell the other half as
fast as we can. If you have cards,
.. . " - v
sell them as soon as you can. If you
have not yet sent for a block of five
you should do so at once. There are
many in . your neighborhood who
should read The Independent. Why not
see them and get their subscriptions?
If you wish to try we'll send you a
block of five. You need not pay for
them until you - have sold them. Any
you cannot sell - you- may return. It
costs you nothing to try. The indica
tions are that Mr. Thompson and the
candidates nominated at Grand Island
will prove; a strong and winning ticket.
It is a battle between the people and
the corporations. There is nothing
you can do that will ; accomplish so
much In the campaign as to help In
crease the circulation of The Indepen
dent. You can easily sell a block of
five in your neighborhood. Hundreds
of others have done so and found ;t
easier than they had expected Many
have sold 4 or 5 blocks (20. or 25 cards)
and some have sold as high as 10
blocks (50 cards). Why not send your
order today?
, Here is what others have tlone. Why
not add your name to the roll of
honor? ,'. :

A Home For The Independent.- Two Stories 25x142 Being
Erected From the Sale of .Liberty Subscription Cards
; by the Readers of The Independent.
For many years the greatest need of
The Independent has been a perma
nent location a home of its own.
Once secured, expenses can be re
duced and the paper made a greater
power for good and more valuable
and interesting to its readers. To
build this home The Independent has
as-ked the co-operation of its readers
in the sale of 10,000 subscription cards.
The cards are printed on regular U. S
postals and are put up in blocks vZ
Let Well Enough
Editor Independent: During and
since the last national campaign we
have heard a good deal about "Letting
well enough alone," and tne -people
seem to have been lulled to sleep by
the seductive influence of those who
would profit by this deception.
When the Lord called Moses to lead
the children of Israel out of bondage
he answered the call by saying, "They
will not believe me." They were con
tent to let well enough alone. .
When Christ wrought, in the flesh,
to establish His spiritual kingdom on
earth, the multitudes would not ce
lieve. They charged Him with "trou
bling the people" and finally killed
Him rather than have conditions
changed. They wanted to "Let weU
enough .alone." The silver-smiths
stirred up the people because tue
teachings of justice and equity inter
fered with their business or mauing
images of the goddess Diana. In, th
light of truth they could not longer
fool the public, therefore the doctrine
of "Let well enough alone" must be
taught, the people must be kept In
ignorance in order that they might be
"worked" for the benefit of the - few
five. Each card is good for: a year's
subscription. For the five cards (five
yearly subscriptions to be sent to five
different persons) the charge is $3.09,
60 cents for each card. The regular
subscription price of The Independent
is $1.00 per year, and for single sub
scriptions it does . not accept less than
that. It is only because funds are
needed for the construction of Liberty
liuilding that the nnparalelled offer
of five yearly subscriptions for only
?:j.C0 is made.
of insanity they are recognized by &I1
except the afflicted ones. - .
Time has been, and always will; be,
when men, mighty mea, were and are
needed to cry out against this mon
strous doctrine that lulls patriots to
sleep, dulls the conscience or the de
votee and' weakens the arm of the de
fender of the people's rights.
f The manipulators of public, opinion
have thrown down the gauge or battle.
We . are asked to meet them, upon this
issue, "Th country is ; prosperous,"
"Let well enough alone." : Let us meet
them upon, their own ground-:. Admit
the, fact 'that, prosperity is abroad -in.
the' land and thankrthe Lord for it, not
the , republican; machine. . Show, the
cause of .the prosperity in the great
crops that have , been produced, ana
the high prices that prevail, due to the
putting into operation or populist
money theories. Show by the .records
that we have forced the old party to
adopt our monetary system and at the
same time show why they have done
this. To save themselves and to cover
up other schemes of "robbing the com
mon people of their very birthright.
These facts can all be shown by. the
records that have been made and I a
persistent, united effort . along thes!
lines will convince the voter , of the
truth of our position. Surely the Am
erican citizen has not sunk to the
level of the beast that is satisfied co
eat and sleep, content that his wants
are gratified regardless of the results
for the next generation We have got
ten much from those that have gono
before, let us do more for those, that
are to come after. Let us stamp out
this pernicious doctrine that "our Goi
is our belly" and teach that other,
more noble sentiment that the greatest
blessings that can -come to man is tho
opportunity to serve his fellowman.
That it is not all of life to live. That
we must live for others if we fulfill the
destinies of v the race. -
Let us exemplify Horace -Mann's'
standard of an American statesman:
"In our country and in our times no
man is worthy the honored name' of
statesman who does not include th5
highest practicable education , of the
people in all his plans of administra
tion. He may have eloquence, he may
have "a knowledge of all history, di
polmacy, jurisprudence; and by these
he might claim, in other countries, the
elevated rank of a statesman; but un
less he speaks, plans, labors, at all
times and in all places, for the cul
ture and edification of the whole peo
ple, he is not; he cannot be," an Ameri
can statesman." H. E. DAWES.

When Demosthenes, prompted by
his love for the liberties of the peo
ple, spoke in masterful eloquence
warning the Grecians against the ad
vance of the mighty Macedonians, he
uttered the , sublime truth tnat "Mis
trust is the .safeguard of free com
munities against tyrants." But the
balsful influence of the deadly doc-1
trine of "Let ,well enough alone" had
its perfect work and here, in the very
cradle of freedom, liberty received its
dsath-blow.
The history of the world and its
people is full .of instances of this kind.
"Let well enough alone" is the most
dangerous doctrine that was ' evpr
taught to men. ; It is the language of
t'ae thief, thug and tyrant; the plea
of the robber, ruffian and rapist; the
motive of the schemer, charltan and
seducer; the slogan of the public plun
derer; the cry of the monopolist an3
the yell of the trusts. , .v J
"Let well, enough alone" is" the
devil's doctrine, plan of: action and
hope of success. Like the song of .the
sirens it lures men to death and . de
struction by ; its sweetness and rest
fulness. Like the warmth pf death by
freezing ; it is deception most deceit
ful. - Like the illusions and delusions
"What do you say to this?" said B.
H. Robison, the well known president
of the Bankers' Reserve Life Associa
tion, to a representative of the Bee' a
few days- ago.
As the gentleman spoke he handed
the reporter a bulletin issued July 1
for the information of policy holders
and. the public. Here are contents of
the bulletin:

Death claims reported and -
losses unpaid None

Net gain since Dec. 31, 19Q1. 1,269,000
The reporter said in answer to Mr.
Robison's inquiry that he thought the
showing very remarkable.
"This company is now five years old.
The first two and one-half years of its
existence under the old insurance law
of Nebraska were comparatively un
eventful. From the time when the
company entered the field as a stipu
lated premium , company, in . October,
1900, under the present stipulated pre
mium law, its real growth begins. '
"In two years and a half this com
pany has written upon carefully se
lected lives over $4,000,000. . The year
1902 is now half over. We have writ
ten, as the report shows, $1,325,000
this year. Our report for December
31, 1902, will show $3,000,000 at least
for the year. .
"Unless some - unforeseen financial
disaster destroys the business pros
pany has written upon carefully se-
serve will be a $10,000,000 company in
1903. ' ", "
"Note the. small number" of deaths
and "the small number of losses. Ob
serve, too. the reinsurance item which
shows how conservatively we are
managing our .business. . '
. :'The death losses have been prompt
ly paid on presentation of final proofs.
All-other obligations have been set

owe a dollar for death losses or any
other purpose that is unpaid ; .
; "The bulletin does not expressly, an
nounce the fact, but any business man
knows that, our assets are building up
proportionately with the growth of
the company's business. The Bankers'

Public Ownership of Railways
According to Henry V. Poor, in his
Manual of Railroads for 1884, tlie av
erage cost per mile of the railroads n
the United States did not exceed ?30,
000, Accepting that estimate, the 178,
703 miles in the United States, accord
ing to the report of the interstate com
merce commission of December, 1895,
represented, $5,3.61,240,000, instead' of
$10,706,473,813. That is the capitaliza
tion , was more than one-half waterl
. If the government bought the roads
at their! cost value by issuing bonds,
and, paid interest at 3 per cent on "he
bonds, the annual charge would be,
$160,000,000.- In- the depressed year
ending June 30; 1894, the gross earn
ings of the roads were $1,073,361,707;
gross expenses, $731,414,322; net profit,
$341,947,475'" Subtracting the interest
from this; the nation could pay the in
terest on the bonds and clear $180.

Without a ;dolIar's expense, to have

This is",basejl on ;he depressed profits

which is estimated at hundreds of mil

The Painful Truth
The gainful truth is that- Dewey's
present explanation discredits his own
intelligence ' and . his ability to serve
his government. It .leaves him in a
much worse position than he had occu
pied. For ,'him to have repeatedly toic
his goverhment in the sumlner of 1898
that the Filipinos were far more cap
able than, the Cubans of self-government,
without explaining that he con
sidered " neither . race capable of it,
must have been so misleading that no
officer ' in his right mind could have
been capable of such ah inept per
formance. The . government was en
titled to his whole opinion, not sim
ply to one-half of it; and it was the
good officerV part to be candid or bs
silent: Admiral Dewey's best friends
are those who decline to accept the
so-called explanation wheedled out of
him by Senator ; Beveridge, : since it
stamps his suggestions to the govern
ment as lacking either In ordinary In
telligence v or in common candor.
Springfield Republican. .
Honor of the Army
Senator Patterson is right. General
Merritt should now be asked to con
firm or deny Admiral Dewey's state
ment that the engagement which pre
ceded the surrender of Manila was a
mock battle arranged to "save the
face" of the" Spanish, general. Gen
eral Merritt commanded the land
forces at that time, and there could
have been no such arrangement unless
he had been a party to it. If he should
deny Dewey's story, there the matter
would end,; and Dewey would find it
necessary, as against Merritt, to sus
tain himself by. documentary or other
evidence. If 'Merritt should acknowl
edge the truth of Dewey's statement,
then - he would deserve to be court
martialed, if the statute .of. limita
tions did not protect him.
It requires no courage to say that
to arrange a mock battle with an en
emy. in war and then pass it along
into history as the real, thing is a
highly dishonorable act,; vastly dis
creditable to the army and the coun
try. Much has been heard of , lata
about attacking the army; nut never
has there been a severer attack upon
the lionor vf the army than the state
ment made -by Admiral Dewey. Kor
the sake of American history, which
should tell the Uruth, the president
should, at least order a court of In-:
quiry. whose- duty it should be to sift
this matter to the bottom.-Springfleia

Custer - County Chief: The fusion
ticket nominated at Grand Island last
week is probably as strong as any tick
et ever placed before the people of the
state. No democrat or populist who
has the best interest, of the state at
heart can do otherwise than give it the
most enthusiastic support. In the past
the word "fusion" has operated on
some of our . pops and democrats very
much like a smallpox placard, but as
the people have , become more . thor
oughly convinced -that the' only way to
wrest the hand of monopoly from bur
state government, is by a union ot the
reform forces, the fusion sentiment
has gained until now it is almost
unanimous in the two , parties " that

over 10 years old", in that region. His
counsel admitted that he gave the t.r-
ders,, which: were only too faithfully
carried out General Smith does not
belong, ,by nature or disposition, to
the American army. The sultan or the
sirdar could give him congenial work
in warring upon women and children.

Republicans never ceased to howl
about, the. trouble among, officers of the
Beatrice institute, during Governor
Poynter's term. Now the republicans
are having trouble in the same institu
tion, and the steward has been forced
out. Besides the row at Beatrice, Dr.
J. T. Mallalieu Js said to nave been
forced out of the reform school at
Kearney for reasons which the re
publicans dare not .make public,
though the reasons 'therefore are
known to others and will be made
public in due time. It is undoubtedly
true that friction cannot always "ie
avoided, but the hypocritical gang that
was to redeem Nebraska is certainly
showing" its incompetence in a way
not unexpected. The state's penal and
charitable Institutions were never so
deplorably managed as they are to
day, with one or two exceptions, and
though the fact is well .known in the
places where such institutions are lo
cated, little is said of it, for. many
reasons. But the truth will come out.

A MYSTERIOUS
APPEARANCE
IN
THE QUIET LITTLE VILLAGE
OF WILSEY, KANSAS ;
A Straus Event "With a More Wonderful
Sequal-Ita Effect m th After-Life :
of One Woman
About six years ago a stranger, a
woman, came to the little village of
Wilsfry, Kansas, to live. This was the
important ..link in a chain of events
which set the whole town wondering.
Mrs. Rachael A. Gardner, the person
whose life was most affected by it
tells the story.
"It was very strange," she says. "I
never could tell what caused it and
neither could anybody" else. For a.
long ; time I had bad spells with my
stomach. The pain would commence
about my heart and was so deadly
agonizing that I would have to scream
aloud. Sometimes it would last sev-.
eixl hours and I would have to take
laudanum to stop it. . Besides this V
had a headache almost constantly, day.
and r.i?ht, that nearly crazed me and"
hemorrhages caUsed by the change of
life, so ou see I suffered a great
deal. - And when I think of the agony
it still makes me shudder. .
"Doctors did you, say? Their' medi
cine made me sicker. I. couldn't take
it and I kept growing worse until this
lady came to --our village. She . ad
vised me to take Dr. Williams' Pink
Pill? for Pale People and I did. 1
only took half a box before I began to
feel better and after taking the rest,
was wholly, con verted to this wonder
ful medicine. It did me more good
than I, had ever hoped for. I kept
on with the pills and now I recom
mend them to all, who suffer."
The pills, which cured Mrs. Gardner
have accomplished as wonderful re
sults in hundreds and hundreds of oth
er cases just' as severe. They are an
unfailing specific for locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, St. .Vitus dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nerv
ous headache, after-effects of the grip,
palpitation of the heart, pale and sal
low complexions and all forms of
weakness either In male or female..
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple are sold at all druggists, or will
be sent direct from Dr. Williams Medi
cine Co., Schenectady; N. Y., postpaid,
on receipt of price, fifty. cents per box;
six boifes for two dollars and a half.

Long after the populists had the
demand for the referendum in the.r
platforms this writer heard a United
States senator ask at the Riggs House
in Washington, in a jocular way, it i?
true, while he evidently wanted infor
mation on the subject: "What is this
thing they call the referendum ? Is it
something that they keep in the coun
try stores to sell to populists?" Now
a proposed amendment to the consti
tution in the state of MassechusettJ
received 111 votes in favor of it to 69
against," after a long debate. ; It waa
not a two-thirds majority, but t
shows that even Massachusetts repub
licans , have been to school to popul
ists and ho wj truly the populist party
leads in the advanced thought of the
nation. The republicans of Massa
chusetts have learned some more
things besides that, from the populists.
A bill, to change the law of injunction,
so that trials for contempt of court
I should - be before , a jury was oniy
beaten by : five Votes. The1 first at
tack on government by Injunction; In
a political platform was made in a
state populist convention in Nebraska
and the motion to put it in the plat
form was made by Father Snyder. Af
ter the cultured citizens of Massa
chusetts ' go t to school to populism a
few, years more, we may look for ro
Torm in that state.

The arrival of Buffalo Bill's Wild
West on August 1 "will be a memora
ble event, for this city. A good many
of our people have already, seen Its
brilliant and. exciting performances in
places farthest east, some i of th,era
journeying considerable distances to
do so, and their reports havemade the
rest of us somewhat Impatient to share
their, experience. And, as the pro
verb saysfc "everything comes to him
who waits," our time comes at last.
..We. are pretty, good judges, out this
way, f- Indians, broncos, cowboys,
cavalrymen and western girls and we
want to see how , Col. Cody (Buffalo
Bill) and Nate Salsbury have arranged
those components so as to give with
them a show that has won the enthu
siastic plaudits of the larger part of
the civilized, world. . Of course, they
have had - a good . deal of help from
Col. Cody's "Congress ; of Rough Rid
ers of the World," some of whom are
said, to be first-class astonishers, and
from the Atlantic Coast Life-Savera
and many other novel features, but
natural pride In what we can claim f.s
our own inclines ys to take most in

of the show, .However,-it's all great.

market a mixed : bunch of Hereford
steers and heifers, whichv were "not
finished, but-had been on feed eight
months, that sold for $7.65 per cwt.,
the highest price ever paid there for
that kind of stock. He was very well

- The Real Question -
The railroads; of Nebraska are send
ing out circulars , In all , directions by
which they try to show how much
heavier they are taxed than railroads
in other states. We don't question
this at all. But they fail to explain
how much heavier the people of Ne
braska are taxed than' thbse of . other
states. The people of Nebraska are
anxious to know how much the rail
roads are n taxed compared with that
of the people. On that point , the railroads-
are silentRising ' City Inde

The government in the hands of re
publicans "means: th death of compe
tition in all "the leading industries. It
prohibits competition in steel and iro.i
and hands the whole business over to
the steel trust: by imposing a tariff
on those products of about 40 per
cent. That has enabled the steel trust
to make a profit, according to its last
report, of $64,000,000 during the last
six' months. In view of this Maik
Hanna says: "Let well enough alone."
Dave Hill says: "I am opposed'to an
radical; changes in the tariff.'. Dave
means it, too,; for he saw to it when
in the United States senate ; that 900
amendments were tacked onto the Wil
son "tariff bill.
Dewey in his memorandum given ti
the first Philippine committee says he
wanted Aguinaldo's help. There is
no doubt about that and. that he want
