Tlie election on Tuesday, so far as the state was concerned, was all that republicanism could ask, going hand somely for the head of the ticket, but poor old Sherman county on the local ticket stands out in bold relief as one of the f«w remaining counties in this great commonwealth to give populist majorities to the greater portion of the county ticket. Sheriff Williams. County Assessor Bechthold and Coroner Main being all the republi cans could pull through. There is some reason in all this, which is | accounted for in the guerilla warfare j of a renegade, who having been ! honored by the republican party in j j Sherman county with two terms in I the county clerk's office, turned i traitor to the party which had thus ■ honored him, and has for the past | two or three years, and in fact before liis official time was out. done his l>est to betray the partv and bank 1 rupt it of votes. The returns < f the election do not show he is to the j good in his efforts so far as he is con eernea. tne men whom he supported losing votes by Ids efforts in their behalf. In fact, it is substantially true that some of those whom he sup i porteti w ished, and so stated, that i they were sorry he had piaced their ■ names at the head of his personal | ticket, believing and so stating that they Mould lose more' votes than they I would gain, and: the vote shows they I were right in their conclusions. It is j too bad for honest politics that such 1 a renegade and malcontent should exist in Sherman county, but lice are sometimes hard to get rid of. The Northwestern has not time this week to give the tabulated statement of the county vote, but will do so next week. We give below, however, the majorities of the various county : candidates and the vote of the head : of the ticket: For Supreme Judge— j Reese (rep) ."13—216 ! Loomis (pop).597 i For Sheriff— i Williams (rep)...1018—505 I Carpenter (pop;.453 For County Assessor— | Bechthold (rep)..772—104 ! Schroll (pop! . 668 i For County Clerk — Lay (rep)...633 Beushausen (pop).843—210 For County Treasurer— Grow (rep) ..644 Hiddleson (pop). .. .831—187 For County Judge— Angier (pop).893—332 Fisher (?).561 i For Superintendent— [Mead (rep(.669 Hendrickson (pop).790—121 For Supervisee 2d dist— Gibson. W. T. (rep).136 i Depew (by petition).. .184— 48 . What can the jaw bone bray about j in this election? .1 udge Hostetler had no opposition | in this county, there being but one vote recorded for another. Sheriff Williams had a larger ma ; jority over his opponent than Bill ' Fisher received as his vote. Peter Rowe insists had it not been i for his strenuous work Rol Ilendrick 1 son would have been defeated. -1 What.s in a name? Taylor Gibson j ouod it out in the past election, it ■ was too bad the ill repute of another i should bear fruits in his defeat. j - ~ The recorded vote of Clerk Beus j hausen #nd Treasurer Hiddleson give ! complete evidence of the poweT of the j jaw bone in Sherman countv politics. The political air in Sherman coun ty is a little chilly for republicans, but tlie warm political breezes wafted to us from over the state are most comfortable indeed. Last Friday morning the Com mercial bank of Grand Island closed I its doors and turned .the institution I over to the State Banking Board for j examination. Later the board found : the bank all right and ordered to re open its doors on Tuesday of this week. The cause of the closing was the suicide of the cashier of a bank at Chariton, Iowa, to which bank the Grand Island concern had loaned some *50.000. and the suicide of the cashier caused the Grand Island bank to indulge in a scare lest there should be a run on it* finances. W. W. Morsman and Harry Iiawding had some *i,”00 tied Up in the closing, which we are glad proved only for a few days. The boys are to be con gratulated. Farmers’ Congress. Editor Northwestern—At your request I shall endeavor to give a brief account of my trip to Oklahoma and the Farmers' National Congress, which I trust may interest your readers. When I received my appoint ment from Gov. Sheldon I made up my mind to go whether I could leave my work or no. So on t>ct. 16th 1 j took the train, our party consisting| of one. at Palmer I met Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Oilis and Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Hather of Ord, bound for Oklahoma City, and having three hours to wait in Omaha we went to the Home Show where we saw Omaha’s champion drivers and heard some good music. Arriving at Kansas City at 7 a. m. the next day, we found our train would not leave until 9 p. m. so made a tour of the city and was surprised, to see so many large buildings in course of construction, one 17 stories high being noticed. The Royal Stock Show being in full swing, the after noon was pleasantly spent there, the cattle and nog exhibits were espec ially good. 1 have a picture taken at the “Royal” I should like you each to see. Returning to the station at 8 p. m. I met Senator Goodrich of Fairmont and Henry Massman of Battle Creek and we cast our lots to gether. That night we comfortably rolled through Kansas in the Pullman “Utopia" and daylight gave us our first glimpse of Oklahoma* Perhaps we expected too much but it was dis appointing. The hills were rocky, rock and soil being red. and covered with “Black Jack’’( a scrub oak), very little grass and I saw very little stock. We stoppped for breakfast at Osage, where I met the first Indian but should not have recognized him as such had he not told me. At Cleve land I saw a forest of oil derricks and found much natural gas, several large jets are left burning the year round. At noon we found ourselves at Okla homa City. Our first duty was to register at headquarters and found a room and dinner. I believe the people (live in restaurants-and rented rooms, for every other house seemed to be a , rooming house and restaurant. The meeting of the Congress was held in the auditorium, a fine new building with comfortable opera chairs, seat ing 5.000. Pres. Stahl called the con gress to order at 2 p. m,. with about 1.000 delegates present. The first afternoon and Friday morning were taken up with addresses and responses. I assure you when they finished we knew we were welcome, and incident ally all about the greatness of Okla homa City. Pres. Thompson- of the Coamber of Commerce told us briefly that at 12 o'clock. April 22,1889, there was no Oklahoma City, the next morning it had a population of 3,000 and business was begun. Today the population is 40,046, there is four rail roads. 36 miles of street railway, 42 miles water mains carrying 6,000,000! gallons of water daily, 63 miles sewers. 28 miles paved streets. 44 miles side walks, 30 churches, 12 schools, 10 banks, 02 jobbing houses. 80 factories, and I might add. more automobiles and more reckless drivers than any othercity. I was almost afraid to cross the street. The Chamber of Commerce gave the delegates an afternoon at the State Fair grounds, a ten coach train was tilled to standing room. The fair ground contains horse, cattle and hog barns, an auditorium, agri cultural building covering l b acres, an ampitlieatre. an A 1 race track and other necessary buildings. The afternoon was passed with broncho busting, inspecting the stock exhibits which were very good, and eating a car of watermelons. On Sunday after noon we were taken to see a model farm. 30 miles from the city. It was the best I had seen, the alfalfa made five crops and the corn and cotton were fine, but this was the only good corn I saw and the average cotton made a bo A 250 pounds per acre and was worth 3i cents per pound. Now for the work of the convention. E. C. Ellis of Kansas City spoke on “Water Way'', arid said tills is the solution of the freight problem. One-ninth of our present rate Will place Nebraska crops at tiie seaboard, 64 per cent of congressional appropriation goes to the navy and for wars, and only 4 per cent to improve our waterways. Asst. P. M. General Vic key said we must have the Parcel Post. Postal Saving Bank and Postal note. Miss E, J. Charlton of the Iowa Agricul tural college told how she gives short courses in home economies over the state, helping the girls to be better home makers. Hon. F. A. CoLton of Indiana, whose subject was “Child Nature," summed up his remarks by saying, “The end of all education is to make men and women.” Prof. Webster of the Agricultural Bureau, Washington, D. C., said the farmers should make their own butter and operate their ojvn factories. The farm butter is the best in the world, but we mpst be more careful in handling our milk. Last year pounds of farmers butter was reno vated and the renovators made 5 cents per pound on this, all through the farmers carelessness. The chief of the Oklahoma City lire department told us how he trained bis horses by --- - ') THEATRE TALK NO. 5, ONE OF THE IMPORTANT FIRST CLASS PRODUCTIONS OF THE SEASON, “MY BOY, JACK,” WILL BE SEEN HERE IN A .M -i.

Inn dence” and other noted plays. The company will have for ii head and star EUGENE MOORE, who will be remembered for h i brilliant performance of “Monte Cristo” and his hi;h position among leading men and the cleverest light comedians. MR. MOORE SHINES BRIGHTLY IN THE PART OF JACK, and notfcinc could be better suited to the taste of American theatregoers than the character of this independent, worthy younu sen of a typical American business man. THE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PART TO SHOW THE ACTOR’S ART in delineating a vivacious personal ' STOP YOU LQAFER-Oft Hi THROW YOU |DOWN FIVE FIWHTS OF STAIRS.” ity with a keen play of wit and humor, through which is seen true strength and nobility of character, are seldom excelled in arv play, MR. MOORE IS ONE OF THE FEW ACTORS IN TEE COUNTRY | WHOSE WIDE AND COMPLETE EXPERIENCE and high ideals equip them t6 convey the fuii excellence of such a role. The other parts in the play are all of unusual interest, including the musician Karje, Margeret the prima donna, her dissipated father, and the landlady of the poet and composer in their poverty. The whole i play iis full of the best kind of entertainment :ic stage offers, and presented thoroughly well. There are four acts which carry the story from the poor lodgings of , the poet and musician through TfJEpCEAI^p the handsome apartments of the a FI a \ C s i- Lj prima donna and the mansidn of * rT>f; Qty iT TT ;v her rich admirer to the green Lt 1 S 1*1 slits?I room of the opera house.

When a man abuses a j horse, lie lias bad judgement. On 1 Monday morning the Chamber of [Commerce entertained in the Peoples : opera boose, and when about a dozen pretty girls elad all in smiles and | flow ers came out and sang and danced it makes me laugh yet to think how some of our ladies looked, Resolu tions were adopted favoring Parcel Post. Deep Waterways, Forest Pre serves, opposing the Ship Subsidy and many others. Col. Ben Cameron of North Carolina was elected president. Geo. L. Whittiker of Massachusetts secretary, and W. L. Ames of Wis consin treasurer. On Tuesday night out work was ended and we were glad to take the train for home and I did not think 1 had seen anything quite as good as Nebraska. I should like to tell you more of the work of the con gress, bow its influence is brought to bear on the legislature and congress oily for the betterment of agricul ture as a whole. Its members are without salary and pay their own ex penses. 1 should be pleased to furnish any desired information. Yours truly, Lawrence N. Smith. For Sale—White pedigreed boar.
