Kearney Democrat: As we have said beiore, no man who is a candi date on the populist ticket and claims to be a democrat and is against Judge Parker, can get any support from Buffalo county demo crats. Burkett at Loup City. Last night occurred the opening of the Republican campaign in Sherman county, at the opera house in Loup City. Hon. E. J. Burkett, congressman from the Second dis trict and Republican choice for U. S. senator, was the principal speak er. Although the day opened with rain and continued threatening: and disagreeable, the opera house was comfortably filled with a representa tive audience of the best people in Loup City, with a number from over the county at large, and w ith a goodly number of ladies also pres ent. Judge Wall presided over the meeting and gave few’ rainute9 force ful talk, giving some of the good history of the grand oid party of progress, and wa9 heartily applaud ed. After introducing County At torney Pedler and Hon. H. Smelser, republican candidate for representa ive, each of whom responded in a few w’ell chosen words, Congress man Burkett wras introduced and re ceived a splendid ovation. Mr. Burkett dwelt largely on National issues, showing that the prosperity of the country was due to the Re publican . party, always being op posed by a democracy, w hich even tually conceded them right in every instance, though alw’ays of coursse after accomplishment—camping on the Republican trail, so to speak. Mr. Burkett spoke for one hour and twenty minutes, and received the most earnest and undivided atten tion of ever person present He made a splendid speech ^nd left a most pleasing impression upon his audience. J. A. Douglas a Winner. The voters of the 51st legislative district have done the right thing by re-nominating J. A. Douglass for representative. Jim Douglas went to the last legislature as a compar tively unknown quantity, and came out at the close of the session as one of its biggest men. He was one of the chief authors of the new reve nue law and on every important question or measure before the leg islature he was a leader of the ma jority in the house. Jim Douglas is one of the brainiest young men in the state, a brilliant lawyer snd splendid material out of which to make an attorney general for Ne braska, to follow Norris Brown. Claussen for Supervisor. The Republican convention of the Second Supervisor district, com posed of the townships of Logan and Washington, met in The Nobtii westikn office, Saturday afternoon, Sept. 24, 1904, and was organized by electing G. H. Whitman presi dent and Henning Claussen secre tary. Henning Claussen was the unanimous choice "of said conven tion as its nominee for supervisor of said district and so declared itself. Mr. Claussen is an honored citizen of Washington township, and the delegates are enthusiastic over his selection. Henning can be safely counted as being the next supervisor frcm that district. Tom Watson, the popiulist presi dential nominee is taking heavy falls out of Parker every day. He is a holy terror to the democratic par ty and his epigramatic deductions of modern democracy are about the most interesting reading of the present campaign. Populists have a presidential candidate they have every reason to be proud of. Dastardly Work. Last Thursday night some party or parties visited the farm of Win. Jaeschke, some three miles nortn of Rockville, demolishing a new press drill and ruining other maehiney about the place. Mr. Jaeschke sent to Lincoln after Jim Malone’s blood hounds, which were brought to his place Saturday morning in charge of Detective Franklin and placed on the trail. It is reported they led the way to a neighboring farmer, with whom Mr. Jaeschke had had trouble and on whom suspicion rest ed. Saturday morning, in the ab sence ol County Attorney Pedler in Colorado, a warrant, it is reported, was issued against the farmer men tioned, Mr. Carl Treffer, and his farm hand, Tony Worzok, on com plaiut or the detective, and placed in the hands of Sheriff Williams to serve. From there on several con flicting reports are heard, one of which was that the hired man had skipped before arrest could be made; pne that the detective after ward weakened as to the strength of his evidence against the boy, and held off the warrant. In fact the rumors are so conflicting that we withhold further comment. Of one thing we are certain, no arrests have been made up to this time, as has been reported to the daily press. It appears later that the detective, af ter receiving $107 for his work took his hounds and returned to Lincoln, and that further pursuit in this di rection has been abandoned. A Terrible Accident. From the Grand Junction (Col ) Her ald we learn of the terrible accident and death of little Ella, daughter of Lewis Strankman, who moved from Loup City to Grand Junction last tall: “The saddest fatality that has ever been in our vicinity occuired last Sat urday afternon, when Elia Strankman lost her life in starting a fire with coal oil. She was left in charge of the house and her four brothers, herself being 13 or 14 years old. Not having been well, her mother told her to rest and let the boys do the dishes, out Ella, wishing to surprise her parents by finishing the ironing before their return, with that motive began. The can of oil was nearly empty, and though being often cautioned not to use it, thought it safe. It exploded and set her in a blaze. Frightened, she started to the nearest neighbor, Mrs. Swick, but instead jumped in the ditch, where Mrs. Swick found her and carried her home, w’here a new telephone had just been placed and telling Mrs. Swick to lift her to the phone, the brave child, entirely naked and thefiesh dropping off, phoned for a doctor and for her parents to come home. Dr. Oyler dressed her burns and stayed till midnight, when death came to her relief. Iler first words to her mother were: “Mamma, you al ways told me not to use the oil, but I did.” Thus did she womanly try to ease her agonized mother. Everybody who knew Ella loved and admired her character of helpfulness. The bereaved have the sympathy of all Tbe funerel occurred Tuesday at 1 p. m. from the house to the church of Seventh Day Adventists, where the Lutheran minis ter, Rev. Meir, ofiiciated.” Balsora Items. Messrs. Whitman and Claussen were in Loup City Saturday. Mrs. J. Evans and family intend ad taking in the Ord fair this week, but gave it up on account of the threatening weather. Miss Rosa Sandh visited at the home of Miss Gilbert last week, go ing home with her from school Fri day night and returning Sunday. The party at Mr. and Mrs. Lan don’s, Thursday evening, was one of those delightful little secial affairs that go so far toward making life worth living. Everybody is sure of a good time, when invited there. Gehard Nelson, the 7-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Nelson, died of typhoid fever, Monday, Sept 19, 1904. The sorrowing parents have the sympathy of the entire commu nity. The funeral services were held at the home on Tuesday at 10 o’clock. Dry Creek Clippings. Henry Kesting's new' barn is com pleted.
