“Did it ever occur to you” that the
fellow that howls loudest about
‘•graft,” etc., is generally' the “critter”
that needs the most watching?
Sherman county democrats met in
mass convention at the court house
on Tuesday evening of this week,
32 of ‘em being there, and we under
stand endorsed the populist ticket.
Gibson's only chance left is to get up
a socialist ticket, or accept our sug
gestion of fceek before last.
Wm. B. Rose, a clerk in the attor
ney general's office, has been chosen
chairman of the republican state
^ Central committee, and Editor Clark
E. Perkins of the St. Paul Republi
can has been chosen secretary of the
committee. We congratulate the
central committee on securing our
Jive contemporary as secretary.
The republicans of the 3rd super
visor district met last Monday and en
thusiastically renominated W. O.
Brown for county dad. Sherman coun
ty never had a better supervisor nor
more competent man for the duties
incumbent on that office, nor a man
more popular with all classes. He
will have little or no opposition.
The republican state convention at
Lincoln last week put up a ticket in
close touch with the sentiment of the
people at this time. It is one of the
strongest tickets ever placed before
the peopla of Nebraska, and one that
will win by the largest majority given
any party in this state for. a decade.
While the ticket as a whole was not
in perfect accord with the wishes of
the Sherman county delegation, yet
there are no sore spots and we can
give it our heartiest support. The
ticket is good, wholesome and clean
throughout, in perfect unison with
the platform adopted and will receive
tlie undivided support of Sherman
county republicans to a man. On
another page will be found a full re
port of the convention’s work with
the platform adopted.

the suit and still had money enough
left to buy a gallon of coal oil,
„ Chris Xeilsen was very ill last week
and our doctor being absent, the

Burglar Gets in His Work.
A burglar went through Rawding’s
pool hall and Frank Fosters barber
shop at supper time, Monday evening,
getting for his pains about $1.50 out
of the former and $2.00 from the
latter. He had pried a screen from a
back window at the pool hall and cut
the wire screen from the back door
of the barber shop to make entrances.
Detective Benschoter in trailing the
thief, thoroughly satisfied himself as
to the culprit, but as the fellow took
that morning's train for other scenes,
it was not thought of enough conse
quence to bring him back, and no
arrests will be made unless he foolish
ly returns.
Pleasant Surprises.
During the past week the new
Presbyterian parsonage lisis been
properly initiated, and Rev. and Mrs.
McEwen made the victims of two
surprises. Last week Wednesday even
ing the older people of the congrega
tion met and marched into the par
sonage before any note of warning
had been given. A pleasant evening
followed, which was brought to a
close after refreshments, provided by
the self-invited guests had beenserved.
On last Tuesday evening, they were
hastily summoned from a neighbor’s,
where they were calling, to find the
parsonage, which they had left in
darkness, ablaze with light and filled
with the younger members of the
congregation, who had effected an
entrance and taken possession. A
royal good time followed, not the
least enjoyed by the pastor and wife,
who assured their visitors of a hearty
welcome and made them feel that the
parsonage latch string wras always out.
A Great State Fair.
Contracts have been secured by
Secretary W. R. Mellor of the state
board of agriculture which guarantee
the appearance of three guideless
wonders on the track at the state
fair during each day and a race be
tween two of them, both Nebraska
horses, on Thursday. September 6tli.
A race of this kind will Ire a novelty
