The Republican party in Sherman
is fortunate in its selection of a tick
et to be presented to the voters .this
fall. In its nominee for represen
tative it has selected a young man of
bright attainments, splendid business
qualifications, a man of the people,
and one who will take with him to
the legislative halls at the coming
session a clear, comprehensive mind
and ready knowledge of what is need
ed for the people, Mr, Carle T.
McKinnie, our choice for represent
tative, was born at Cadiz, Harrison
county, Ohio, Aug. 9, lHt)9, hence is
37 years of age. not too young, nor
yet too old, but just a good age to
grasp the situations that may come!
before the legislati\e body. Mr.]
McKinnie was in the employ of hard-!
ware companies for 19 years, eight
years of which were with the Wyeth ;
Hardwarecompany of St. Joseph. Mo., i
two years buyer for the Simmons!
Hardware company of St. Louis, and !
for nine years southern representative
for the Stanley Works, manufacturers
of hardware of New York City, which
has given him a business education
that might well be the envy of many
a man of much greater years. St.
Louis was his headquarters till some
two years since, when realizing that
a man might spend hjs years in busi
ness lines and yet prove unsatisfactory
to himself, concluded to adopt agri
cultural pursuits for the balance of
his life, believing jt tp be tl]e best
promoter of health, happiness and
independence, and wit)) this end in
view, with his brother, Burt P,
McKinnie, purchased a half section
of land in Washington township, this
county, and is happy in his new
vocation. Mr. McKinnie comes of
sturdy stock, his father, Col. Thos.
W. McKinnie, colonel of the 129th
Ohio Vols., entering service at the
beginning of the war as a private,
was raised to the rank of colonel and
was mustered out at the close of the
war with high honors as a soldier
and officer. In politics. Carle T.
McKinnie is a republican and always
lias been so, and comes from an old
line of Ohio republicans. As rep
resentative from this county, the re
publican party and the voters gener
ally will have no cause to regret his
election to the lower house of the
Nebraska legislature, and when he
gets there, there will lie something
doing by Cade T. McKinpie, member
from Sherman county.
Bryan js home and the gregt pow
wows by the democratic- chieftans are
past and Mr, Bryan will once more
become a private citizen. For months
the great dailies have been teeming
with Bryan's doings, ranch to the
disgust of those who are not prone to
hero worship. To the great class of
emotional Americans, the pages of
Bryan booming have been a god-send
and something else will now have to
be substituted. It only seems a short
time since the papers were full of
tittle-tattle about Queen Victoria of
England, evety little incident or epi
sode in her life being expanded upon,
till the average reader became sick
over the superabundance of gush
spread out to tnein. For instance.
Queen Vic hurt one of her knees, and
each day could pe read bulletins of
her condition, till the reading public
felt pains in their knee joints in
sympathy. Bah, on such things. But
a certain class demands such stuff
and the press caters to it till it be
comes perfectly nauseating. Speed
the day when the press will stop the
publication of such “filling” of their
columns, the editors of which feel
the nause&tion most of all.
The editor of this paper visited the
state fair last week, in company with
a hundred or more LoupCityites, and
pronounce it the best of any year in
the fair’s history. From the begin
ning of the first day to the close of
the gates on the last day, there was
something doing, and the crowds ex
ceeded those of any former year by
several thousands. The exhibits of
all stock and agricultural products
were far in excess of any previous
year, while the races were of a most
interesting character, in speed, close
ness of contest and enthusiasm of the
great crowds witnessing the same.
These together with attractive league
base ball games, guidless pacers and
trotters held thousands of enthusi
astic wittnesses throughout. The
greatest race of the attractions of
the speed ring was the derby, which
was won by Will Cramer's lightning
mare. "Electric Spark.” who won the
derby of one mile and one-eighth in
the remarkable time of 1:57, to the
intense satisfaction of every Loup
City man, woman and child present,
while Secretary Mellor’s expansive
smile over the result could be seen a
quarter of a mile away as a result of
the outcome. Shermau county’s ex
hibit was marked at 447 points and
received $55.87 of the money award,
which was a very creditable showing
and return to Mr. Smelser and the
county, considering the short time
which he had in gathering together
said exhibit. The results of the fair
are best shown in the fact that the
fair association eames out with some
$30,000 to $40,000 surplus funds, not
withstanding the immense outlays of
money for new buildings and improve
ments generally. All this is more
due to the indefatigable efforts of
Secretary YV. R. Mellor tlian to any
other half dozen persons connected
with the association, who has devot
ed his entire time to the making of
the present fair the greatest as it
was of any within the history of the
association. Rut then, when YY'. R.
Mellor attempts anything, you can
count on the greatest success attain
able.
Notice to School Directors.
Directors who are in need of a teach
er for the coming term can probably
have their wants supplied by a little
dilligence. State Superintendent Mc
Brien informs me that he can undoubt
edly supply the schools of the state if
given time to adjust matters. I shall
do all I can to fill the schools of this
county but shall need the following
information from each district in need
of a teacher. (1) Number of district.
(2) Name of director. (3) YY'ages you
expect to pay. (4) Can a boarding place
for teacher be had that is suitable
and convenient? In regard to wages:
You must make up your mind to pay
$40 and upwards for a second grade
teacher, and probably $50 for a first
grade teacher. Third grade teachers,
qqght not to expect tq receive more
than $35: but it is not likely that
many third grade teachers will ask
for positions. Please furnish me with
the information asked for without
delay. Yours truly,
M. H. Mead,
Cqunty Superintendent,
