Dirty Politics.
For some time past, in fact ever since
John Mathewson received the Republi
can nomination for county clerk, cer
tain hellish ghouls, who fatten their
putrid carcasses on defamatory stories
on good men's character, in endeavors
to bring them down to their level, have
been circulating false and malicious
lies in regard to Mr. Mathewson’s con
nection with the Green case near Litch
lield. The case of the jsad death of
Green by an exploded cream separator,
and of Honest John Mathewson’s big
hearted endeavors to help the widow
and fatherless orphans is too well known
to need repeat the history. The follow
ing affidavits in regard to the matter
should forever still the mouthings of
the scandal-mongers:
State of Iowa. i
< ss.
Black Hawk County, /
I. J. T. Sullivan, being first duly sworn upon
oath say that I am engaged in practicing law
at Waterloo. Iowa, that r am general attorney
for the Iowa Dairy Separator Company; that 1
am personally acquainted with John Mathew
son and Mrs. Charles Green, of Litchfield. Ne
braska; that in June 1905. 1 went to Litchfield
as counsel for the Iowa Dairy Separator Com
pany of Waterloo, Iowa., after the death of
Charles Green for the purpose of investigating
the facts connected with the accident which
caused the death of Charles Green; that after
investigating the facts. I arrived at the con
clusion that there was no liability whatever
against the Iowa Dairy Separator Company on
account of said accident. The separator in
question which caused the accident, had bcfi.
in operation for about live years, many repairs
having been made on it by Mr. Stewart, th
owner of said machine and farmupou which
it was located, also the guard hud been re
moved from the machine and also that it was
operated without a guard at the time of the
accident. That the apparent destitute con
dition of Mrs. Green and her small children
appealed to me and 1 felt the desire to give her
some assistance. I said to her at the time that
I wanted to help her aad asked her what
amount would be satisfactory to her. She
stated that she would appreciate anythin
that x would give her. Site then state . th;.;
One Hundred-fifty Dollars (150 u0> would be of
great value to her and would carry her through
the winter and would put them in position
where she could support her family without
any difflclty. I told her that I would give her
a check for this amount as soon as she became
administratrix of her husband’s estate. After
this conversation Mr. John Mathewson came
to me at Litchfield and insisted that I was not
giving Mrs. Green as much money as I should
under the circumstances. He insisted that she
should have Five Hundred Dollars (500.00), in
order to purchase a small home for herself and
children. After discussing the matter over for
some considerable length of time, I finally con
sented to give her Three Hundred Fifty Dol
lars (350), provided that the people of Litchfield
would add One Hundred-Fifty Dollars (f 150) t<>
buy her a home, Mr. John Mathewson agre- 1
to see that the additional One Hundred-Fifty
Dollars would be raised uijon subscription.
I have been -informed since that time
that rumors have been circulated in the
vicinity of Litchfied that Mr. John Mathewson
received One Hundred Dollars from me as
compensation for assisting me in making the
settlement. This statement is absolutely false
and untrue. Mr. John Mathewson did not re
ceive a single penny from me or any other per
son connected with the Iowa Dairy Separator
Company for any services rendered, but upon
the contrary the affiant states that he was
compelled to pay to the estate of Charles
Green Two Hundred Dollars ($200.) more than
Mrs. Green had agreed to accept for her claim
for damages against the said company.
By reason of the presistent efforts of said
John Mathewson and because of the said John
Mathewson’s guaranteeing that he would raise
enough money in addition to this Three Hun
dred-fifty Dollars to buy Mrs. Green a home in
Litchfield, and that such rumors as has been
circulated against John Mathewson is false
arid untrue and malicious, and without any
foundation whatever therefore.

Sophia tJreen being tirst duly sworn, deposes
and says she is the widow of Charles Greer,
, deceased, who was killed in the summer* of
UW5 by the breaking of a cream separator, near
Litchfield, Nebraska. I offered to settle with
, the manufacturers of the Separator for One
| Hundred and Fifty Dollars before I saw John
i Jlathewson about the matter and the Company
! afterward payed me Three Hundred and Fifty
Dollars and the extra Two Hundred Doila.s
was obtained for me entirely through the
efforts of said John Mathewson. Mr. Mathew
son did not charge* nor did he get anything for
obtaining this money for me. Mr. Mathewson
was a neighbor, and his efforts were made a- a
neighborly act to help mejout in the loss of my
husband and my destitute condition.

We heartily invite our friends to call any day during this
week where we are demonstrating the
superior qualities of the
N ow Majestic Malleable and
Charcoal Iron Ranges
The MAJESTIC MALLEABLE and steel range a
formerly turned out by the Majestic people has been considered
throughout the entire country par-excellence, and far ahead of any
other range made. But with the NEW CHARCOALj ORN BODY
ia place of Steel, making it double its value, and the fact that it is
the only range in existence made of Malleable and Charcoal Iron,
you can readily see that if quality is considered, the Majestic leads
by a big margin. WE WANT YOU TO CALL at our store during
b|s week, and let us explain this new feature—CHARCOAL IRON
w§i let us explain why it is the best material for range bodies,
tiueidently, why it is not used on other ranges. We want you
d 4.you intend to buy or not, as the information grined will
e you in the future.
HAKPSOM© SOUV©KIR--FR©©.
As long as they last, we propose to give each prospective
purchaser a neat souvenir, something that has not been offered
before. If you buy call early and get one of these souvenirs.
:HOT COFF©© AKP BISCUITS--FR©©
Come any day during this week and have buttered hot
Liseuits and hot coffee. Biscuits baked on a Majestic in three
Ininutes while you wait.
With every range sold during this Demonstration
every cent of $7.50. This ware will be on exhibition at
