Mr. Taylor is look ing well and does not show any signs of government neglect. He Bays there was nothing left undone for the comfort of the soldier boys as far as the war department was concerned. Every comfort was provided for them and the cause of so much sickness can be attributed to the reckless eating of all kinds of fruits and dainties hat could be procured by thorn, and the sudden change of climate, all of which the administration were not, and should not be held responisble for. This howl about oftieial neglect, by yel low Journals he claims Is all for politi Cal effect and should be so considered by the people. Any privations that the soldiers suflered lie says was not be cause the war department was derelict but because it was Impossible to pre vent it. Tull Tor Ho.mhli can County Convention To Reconvene. As per adjournment of the Republi can county eon vention held at i lie Wal worth hall in Loup Lily on tin* 22 day of August, 1898' I hereby call tin* same to reconvene at Loup City, on Saturday Oct. !, 1895, at 1 o’clock p in.

Secy. —-*—- ♦ • ♦ The pop convention held in Ihe Wat kinson hall last Saturday caused some (lisatlsfaulion among the popocrafio element, but the result was accepted as being satisfactory to at least the successful candidates. ,1. M Snyder was promptly turned down and John Vandcgrift was clio.cn to lead the ticket in this county this fall He was nominated for Representative, T. S. Nightingale was nominated for county attorney by a handsome majority over II. M. Mathew Mr. Mathew is the gentleman who suceeded in getting through at the last pop convention a resolution endorsing socialism, so in him the Independent party has a candidate who stands out for fusion in its broadest sense, one who endorses populism, democratici-in. socialism and no doubt would like the support of re publicanism. But it i< generally con seeded by all that the party lias at last stumbled upon n candidate for county attorney with ability to till the office Mr. Nightingale is a lawyer of large experience and ability which especially lit him foi the position. Ills principal failure is that he believes in every kind of ism that can be induced to fu*o. but in Sherman county that can hardly be counted as a failure, politically speak ing. because it is necessary to have a strong combination to down the re publican party and Tom knows it, and just as long as he can make the people believe that all the political isms on earth except republicanism are one and the same thing he is going to do it. ll«* is primed for the light and lie is going in to win or burst a suspender in tlie attempt. Here is hoping that he will come out in at least as good a trim as when he entered the ring. Mr. Nightingale has practiced law in Sherman county for about 20 years and has as good a record for success as any lawyer in the county His papers are always first class, he is a close stud ents and prepares his cases with a great deal of care. He has also bad a great appetite for office and once before was nominated for county attorney; just nominated and that was all. No attorney in the county and doubtless few in the state can draw up more acurute aud binding papers than he can and doubtless there are few who so persistantly seeks office and never gets it. - Remarkable lteacue Mrs Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111., makes the statement that she caught cold, which settled On her lungs; she was treated for a mouth by her family physician, but grew worse.
