and prospering. The old gentleman

were in the collection, Mr. Tracy has
our thanks for this kind reuiemberance

for district judge w as in the city Wed

favorable comment. Mr. Hostler was
three years mayor of tlie city of
Kearney and because of his ex
cellent record as a municipal officer
in enforcing law and order t he citi
zens of his home are giving him
very hearty support in his race for
district judge. Even the Kearney
Democrat of his town recog nizes his
superior ability over his opponant and
is outspoken in his behalf. Mr, Hostet
ler is highly educated in both English
and German language and talks Ger
man fluently.
O. Benschoter and Dar Grow jr
swapped horses the other day, and then

traded Benschoter out of his new horse
which, by the way, was a mare, and
Benschoter got a horse which was abo
a mare pony and got booted in the bar
gain by a vigerous kick from the
bystanders. Benschoter accepted the
boot with the remark that they might
have kicked him some where else ex
cept in the bargain. weetland checked
the boot with the air of an old horse
trader and the deal was closed with
apparently no regret irom anyone in
terested. The transaction established
one fact however, that if Sweetland
fails to get re-elected as county treas
urer he can devote his time and
capital to trading mare ponies with
apparent satisfaction, to say nothing
of profit.

MARTIN, Parkersburg, W. Va.
If your liver does not act reg
ularly go to your druggist and
secure a package of Thedford’s
Illack-Draught and take a dose
tonight. This great family
medicine frees the constipated
bowels, stirs up the torpid liver

colds, biliousness, chills and
fever and all manner of sick

Notes From Onlooker
Kev. Thompson of Denver, an able
speiker on socialism entertained an
attentive audience at Ashton on the
evening of October 24tb. His lecture
was bright, graphic, and very illustra
tive, and be handled bis subject as one
who has mastered the art and theory of
loeialisui. In the beginning of his lect
ure he carefully diagnosed the condt
ti;u of things at this present time and
what would be in the near future if
some reform did not assume control
and he offered and reccommended so
cialism as the reformer and savior.
He Informed us of the condition of
millions of toiling poor, who with their
families to day are without bread to
eat, clothes to wear and homes to shelt
er them; of the millions of boys and
girls who are crippled and maimed,
caused by hard work in the mine, the
factory and the mil); of the deplorable
condition of the farmer and all who
labor in being loaded down with debt
and expenses. Suffering, toiling and
sacrificing all that the bread, the coal,
the oil, the sugar aud all the combi
nation of trusts, might increase the
grand aggregate of millions iu makiDg
up their annual dividends of cold cash.
And this dire calimity dumped upon the
toiling poor. And why? Because our
forefathers, the supernatural builders,
the foundation layers, the builwork
planners of Columbia’s pride and gem
of all ocean, the model and acme of
all nations were a Washington, an
Adams, a .Jefferson, a Hancock, and
the grand glory of statesmen, and were
not an Emerson, or i Mary Livermore,
a Jane Adams, and a host of other able
exponauts of socialism, aud oh the
pity of it. It is said that the mistakes
of Mo8t’3 were serious, surely the mis
takes of the fore-workers of Columbus
Republic of the United States of Amer
ica were more so, for not being stud
ents, graduates and professors of
the great school of socialism. And
the socialists are thundering, fuming,
fretting and reviling somebody, they
don’t seem to know who, but its the
trusts aud they blame all parties es
pecially the republican party, for fost
ering these trusts, and socialism is
panecea for ail these troubles ’
] lea, we started out wrong and we
weep tears of sorrow and regret when
we look t.ack through the past century
and realized what might have been
if our fore fathers bad only started out
under a constitution that would have
launched the new born ship oi thirteen
states into the placid waters of social
ism. How calmly serene would we be
sailing into the Twentieth century.
No risks, no snags, no bars, such as
trusts, strikes, war and mortgages to
impede her prosperous voyage. All
quiet, all harmony, love, friendship and
truth. The golden rule, the law to
guide us in all dealings with our fellow
men, government ownership of all the
wealth on and under the earth, and in
the waters, and engines to deytdope
and deliver its products to the people.
No corners, no banks breaking, no
post office steals ana the grandest of
all, no poor crying for bread, clothes
and homes to shelter them And with
the refereudrum added I am willing
to admit the completeness of philo
sophical socialism.
Fe concluded his lecture by explain
ing the principles of •oeialism, its aim
and Hie platform they stand upon. He
denounced the rediculous idea of so
cialists demanding that the rich should
divide their wealth with the poor. All
the socialists wanted was a chance to
enact laws to deprive the poor from di
viding up with the rich, that is, give the
poor a chance to set his price on his
products and labor, and make the other
fellow pay it or do without. This is an
excellent idea as it would give us beef,
pork and bread raisers a chance to dom
inate the market of the world and wipe
out this board of trade and gambling
buchkesbop business.
The refreudrum jluik whs explained
and made plain by illustrating the
wot kings of the machine, how its use
would, in time clear our statutes of all
obnoxious laws, and only by concent of
the people through the ballot box could
any law be placed on the statutes, and
that seemed an excellent idea It
would do away with our billion dollar
coigress; as the socialist grand central
committee could scratch out our laws
and send them to the polls and the
people would do the rest.
When the. young man asked Christ
what he should do to be saved he told
hint to "st 11 all ihou hast and give it to
the poor and follow me.” To follow
him meant Socialism or Christianity,
assure him a home in Heaven, and at
the same time bcggered himself and
family. Now I ktrow of no person in
m? immediate neighborhood that
would sell all they had and give it to
the poor and then follow socialism.
Such acts would b) abrnrd. The day
may come, and l beiieve will come
when Christ* teachings < f true social*
i»m will prevail, but it can only come
when gold has been dethroned, the cut
throat coinpetative system abaudoned,
and the thirst for worldy riches are
forever quenched. The evolution of ,
tine will do all this for man, and as
time Is not of a day but eternal the
ness approach of the millennium will
absorb all interest what-so-ever as to
socialism.

Boy,— Say, Pa, what do thev mean by saying “Penny

Father,—Why, it’s where a man loses a dollar to save a
nickle.
Boy,—Well, Pa, were you that way when you let your
hogs die because you did not want to pay out money for y
Liquid Koal that John Solme sells so much of.
Father,—Johnnie, don’t talk so much.
National Medicine Co. Coleridge Neb. , Dec. is, 1904.
Sirs:—I can say that I am more than pleased with Liquid Koal. A. year ago last
October my hogs took sick and 1 tried every thing I could think or but no good came of
it. So your agent Kirkpatrick came along and I took a can of Liquid Koal. I had about
BO bogs all sick, I shut them up In a small pen and made every hog take his medicine
and I saved one half of my hogs. If I had not used Liquid Koal I am sure I would not I
have saved a bog. I think a man stands in his own light that does not keep Liquid
Koal on hand. Use this as you see fit.
Yours
