J. W. BURLEIGH. Ed. and Pub.
The populist county convention is
dated for the second Friday in Aug
ust, the 10th.
From all points of view it is evident
the senatorial tight will be between
Rosewater and Brown, with all other
forces eliminated.
As it is yet two years before the
presidential fun begins, Bryan coyly
reserves his mind about the buzzing
of that particular bee in his bonnet.
The prohibitionists will hold their
state convention at Lincoln July 31st.
and Sherman county will be entitled
to three delegates. Are there three
in the county?
Milliard says he is in the race for
U. S. senator and he don't care a
tinker's dam about the action of the
state convention, but looks to the
legislature rather.
Rosewater captured the Douglas
delegation last week and starts in
the senatorial race with 83 votes from
his own county. It begins to look as
if toe old man was in to win.
—
We hear it whispered that Hon. E.
H. Kittel of Rockville will be a strong
candidnte before the populist con
vention for state senator, with the
best evidence pointing to his nomi
nation.
A rate of one fare plus 50 cents will
be given over all railroads in the]
state on account of the coining Re
publican state convention on August
22nd. so we are informed.
A few men who label everybody on
the outside of their little circle as
“thieves” and “enemies” of the dear
people will stand just a mite of watch
ing. Instances have been known
when the man wiio said “Amen” the
loudest never saw the contribution
box at all.—Arcadia Champion.
In the Buffalo county convention
held at Kearney. July 29th. R. M.
Thomson of Ravenna was declared
the choice of his county for state
senator. Sherman county concedes
to Buffalo the nominee for that office,
hence undoubtedly Mr. Thomson will
be the Republican state senator from
Sherman and Buffalo counties in the
coming state legislature.
Dr. J. B. Conway of York is the
latest addition to the gubernatorial
field of candidates. Grandpa Steele,
formerly acting lieutenant-governor
by the elevation of His Accidency
Gov. Savage, and a mighty nice old
man. got into the running just pre
ceding him. That makes seven active
candidates for governor—Wall, the
winner; Weston, the Northwestern
pedestrian; Nix Com a Rouse: Miles,
little known, of Adams, and George
L. Sheldon of Nemaha, who wants it
bad. _
The report emanating from the
••Loup City Lie Factory,” that W.
K. Mellor and John W. Long went
out to see Mr. Carl T. McKinnie the
day preceding the convention and
••axed" up the matter of his nomi
nation for representative is emphatic
ally denied by all the gentlemen, as
a wilful, malicious fabrication. Such
report is an insult to the gentleman
who nominated Mr. McKinnie, and
to the convention which gave him
the unanimous vote for the office of
representative. It is needless to
make further comment over the
matter.
Sherman county paid John Wall a
atting tribute at its republicon coun
ty conventinn on last Friday when it
accorded to him the privilege of
selecting his own delegates from that
county to the state convention. Mr.
Wall settled in Sherman county when
he first came to this state years ago.
and has held a position of trust there
at one time Deing county clerk. Tice
people there know him and that he
should be paid such a compliment by
his old neighbors who take this method
of expressing the faith they hold in
him is a source of gratification to
him—Arcadia Champion.
Fatal Accident From Fire.
Word was received here Wednesday
morning that Leo Fletcher, aged 18
years, a son of Milton I letefaer living
some four miles from Comstock, and
a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. J. C.
Fletcher of this city, had been
seriously burned while assisting a
woman and her 3-year-old child whose
clothes had become ignited through
the explosion of an incubator lamp,
and whose death followed. The case
of the young man was reported alarm
ing and Grandpa and Grandma Fletch
er immediately left for his bedside.
Aftermath comment on the work
of the republican county convention
bears out the wisdom of the delegates
in all respects. The resolutions are
considered with the most supreme
pleasure as covering the sentiment
of the republicans of the county,
while tiie candidates selected are
satisfying to the party as a whole
and will without doubt receive the
hearty support of the voters at the
polls in November and be overwhelm
ingly elected. Mr. Robert P. Starr,
who was unanimously chosen as our
candidate for county attorney, is a
bright, self-made young lawyer, lias
shown good legal ability since coming
among us, lias acquired a flattering
practice in our courts, and has a large
and constantly increasing clientage.
His nomination is a compliment to
the young republicans of Sherman
county, and his consequent election
assured. Mr. Starr, though a com
paratively young man, lias led a most
strenuous life. At the tender age of
13 years lie was thrown upon his own
resources, and from that time to the
present lias had to rely upon his
individual self in making a living,
gaining for himself a good legal
education, and building up a law
practice that might well be the envy
of lawyers of much greater years and
more wide experience. Mr. Starr was
for years a trusted employe of rail
road companies in the capacity of
telegraph operator and station agent.
He held the secretaryship of import
ant committees in two sessions of the
Iowa senate some years since, and
was a trusted clerk in the office of
Gov. .lackson. during that executive’s
administration of Iowa aflairs. He
was secretary of the committee on
printing in the Nebraska senate the
session of 1882-3. and in all of the
places of honor lie has filled lias been
highly commended as a faithful and
competent man. He was a student
of law at the Nebraska State Uni
versity. graduating with high honors.
anu alter a year in tne law practice
at Aurora, came to Loup City, where
his life has been an open hook to our
people, and shows the success lie has
accomplished and the record made
in his unanimous nomination for the
county attorneyship in the county
convention lately held. The conven
tion made no mistake in calling Bobt.
P. Starr from private life to accept
the nomination for the above re
sponsible place, and we believe he will
be a faithful servant of the people in
that office, to which he will lie elected
tills fall.
It is claimed that Hon. Frank
Curry has withdrawn from the
senatorial race.
Corner-Stone Ceremonies.
The laying of the corner stone of
the new Catholic church of this city
took place Wednesday morning at 10
o'clock, with very impressive cere
monies and an immense crowd in
attendance. Six priests took part in
the ceremonials. Rev.Winibald Wolfe
of Grand Island conducted the cere
monies in laying the comer stone.
Rev. Joseph Augustyn of Ashton was
the celebrant at high mass;, assisted
by Rev. Stanislaus Jaszcsynski of
Po6en as deacon and Rev. Irenaues
Jorka of Ashton as sub-deacon and
Rev. Boleslaus Radka of Ashton as
master of ceremonies, which occurred
just previous to the laying of the
comer stone. After the above cere
monials. Rev. Wolfe preached a
sermon in English, followed by Rev.
Edward Soliwoski of Elba, in an
address in Polish. The church, when
finished, will have cost upwards of
$22,000.
IjOSI anu rouuu.
After spending the 4th of July
celebration in Ord including the fire
works, Jay Hain and Bertha Vance,
aged respectively 19 and 15 years,
started for home, supposing they
were following close t*liind their
companions who were also in top
buggies. After leaving the hills and
coming into Mira Valley Bertha
thought they were going in the
wrong direction, but trusting to their
friends whom they heard laughing
and talking ahead they followed on
until one by one the teams stopped
by the way, when they realized their
mistake, but still drove on suppos
ing they could find their way, until
daylight revealed a strange country.
Still on they went confident of And
ing some road or place they knew
until four o'clock Thursday afternoon
the horses became so exhausted, they
were forced to stop and rest them.
One horse then became sick and they
were delayed till nearly night when
they crossed the river and seeing a
town in the distance which they
thought was Ord. Fnally they drifted
into Arcadia after day break inquir
ing if it was Scotia. There a con
stable who had been not! fieri of their
absence, found them in a store eating
a lunch, both children ho frightened
they could hardly talk. Friends and
neighbors took them home to their
anxious parents, where they arrived
about five o’clock Friday evening.
Both of the young people are well
and favorably known and are of res
pectable families who live about IS
miles southeast of Old. ***
