B. Howell proved himself to be, and such a namby-pamby, wishy-washy, any thing-for-office governor, such as Morehead has proved himself to Le during his term of office so fas. For secretary of ist&te, Adison Wait, the old veteran of the Civil War, has proved his capabilities, and made one of thq best and most competent men the state has ever had in that office. For auditor, all who have met W. L.

Fred Beckman has made such a competent and satisfactory com missioner of public1 lands and buildings that he had * no opposi tion at the republicar' primaries, and will no doubt be elected to succeed himself for another term. Thos. Hall has shown his thorough fitness for railway com missioner, that he easily won the republican nomination again and wifi no doubt be given another two years" lease on the important board. E. P. Brown and Peter Jansen were elected for regents and their election will make the board of re gents unanimously in favor of the retention of the State University, on its present site. Of course, Moses P. Kinkaid re ceived the republican nomination for congress in the Big Sixth, and no one even thought of competing for said nomination. He will easily win the election in Novem ber. That’s a safe bet. It is pretty sure to be Senator Robert P. Starr at the coming session of the legislature, judging by the divided sentiment in the democratic party over the nomi nation of Peter Wink for the same place in his home county, and the strong vote for the pro gressive candidate. Bischard, in his home county, Kearney, which gives Mr. Starr a good show to lead them both when the votes are counted in November. Coming on down to the county ticket, W. T. Gibson, for county clerk, has the sympathy of our people over the despicable fight made on him by Beushausen and others in the past, preventing him from receiving his just pay for bridge building, in which Mr. Gibson lost over $1,000 which he had earned by hard labor and material furnished. Besides, he is thoroughly qualified for the office, and we believe our people will elect him county clerk, giving him some little return for the despic able work of Beushausen, et al. For district clerk, W. S. Waite is one of the best equipped men in the county. If any organiza tion wants a competent clerk or secretary, the name of W. 8. Waite naturally comes to the front, he being peculiarly adapted for. clerical duties. His seleetion for district clerk would be a splendid thing for those haring business matters pertaining to court af fairs. He is a most eompeteut man for the office. F. M. Henry, our most efficient county treasurer for the past three years, is a man of wide ex perience as an accountant, has been one of the most thorough and efficient county treasurerer ever in that office and his election will assure our people a continu ance of the good work performed for another two years. Uncle Lou Williams, who has proved one of the best sheriffs in Nebraska during the terms he has been in that office, easily received the nomination again at the pri maries, and will as essily be elected this fall. That goes with out any doubt. J. S. Pedler had no opposition at tiie republican primaries for nomination for county attorney, and we predict will continue in that office for another two years. Uncle Joe makes a specialty of getting matters settled out of court procedure whenever possible thus saving the money of the taxs payers to a very large extent. In this he has been so successful and is so widely known that each time his candidacy proves his after election easily. For county superintendent, the republican party is especially for tuiyU e ta having its its candidate Mrs. Ethel Pearson Heapy, one of the very best educators of the | county. Mrs. He&py is a thorough j and earnest student of educational j matters, has proved -one of the j best and most thorough teachers \ of our county, and judging from! reports received from over the county will be our next county superintendent of Sherman coun ty schools. TWO KILLED DY DESPERADO Last Wednesday morning. Henry Trout, a coal dealer of Harvard was found murdered in bis offiee. After the discovery was made. Sheriff Sanderson of Clay county and his deputy, Phillips, took up the trail and coming upon the desperado the j sheriff was shot through the heart and his deputy was wounded. The enraged farmers of that sec tion then took up the hunt and surrounding the murderer in a bay field a little further on. found him dead, shot through the head, death being self inflicted, evident ly done when he found himself surrounded with no chance to es cape. The bad man is unknown, a stranger to that section. Sheriff Sanderson was a young man of 28 years and was known as in trepid and daring officer. Addressed “To Fanners: What Has the Underwood Free-Trade Tariff Done to You j ” is the title of Document No. 24 just issued by the American Protective Tariff League. This document advances no argument but simply gives the facts regarding the rates of duty on agricultural products under the Payne-Aldrich Law of 1909 and the Underwood Law of 1913.

Heed Men in Legislature Who Will Do Things Nebraska needs men in her legislature who will do things be cause they need to be done and because the people of Nebraska need to have them done, and not men who will do things because some clique tells them to do them. A man who does not think for himself and reason the questions out for himself that will come up, has no business in the legislative halls. Conditions will arise which need instant action and the man who cannot act until he goes home and asks the “gang'’ what he shall do is a poor man to send there. He does not represent the people, does not even represent himself. Some men are elected to the legis lature because of their common sense and fitness to make laws, others are elected because of their Last Saturday afternoon and evening at the opera house was given, in connection with other moving pictures, the movie of Route 2 picnic and parade. The picture was quite true to life and was received with much enthu siasm by crowded houses both af ternoon and evening. The after noon was given over particularly to the patrons of Route 2, and in addition to the pictures, Miss Fay G&llaway gave a pleasing solo and Mrs. J. W. Conger a fine reading, both numbers being heartily en cored. The picture of the picnic is being given at the Dreamland each evening during the fair. % O. A. Woods is enjoying the the lesults of having the nidi on one finger pinched off while work ing on his auto one day last week. It is proving a pesky trifle these days. ablity to be easily handled. What Nebraska needs just now is men sent to the legislature who are able to fathom and abstract from the grist of bills that will be sub mitted the very best, and to offer suggestions thereto that will be for the betterment of all her peo ple.—David City Banner. “Ever since our farmers started raising alfalfa and forage feeds, they have had less trouble about handling their cattle and other stock,"* D. S. Jackson of Sherman county, Nebr., made this state ment. “One more addition, and we will then be insured against short crops at all times. What we lack now is the silo. We have an ideal cattle country.” TWO MEIKH oMLTjuna | Yesterday mo rain* a hurry call came in over the phone to Dr.; Billings for him to bring another doctor and go at once to the Campbell place in Noble township where two men bad been badly hart. From him we learn the follow ing facts: The threshing outfit of Fred Brothwell was being set for a threshing job at the Campbell place. Tbe separator had been placed and it was in setting tbe engine that the accident occurred. Fred Brothwell was operating the engine and with him on the machine was Will Whiting, one of the outfit. In backing the en gine for the purpose of lining it up with the separator tike machine , took a sudden spurt. In reaching , for tbe lever Brothwell encounter ed Whiting, who was in the way and before be could get control of ! the machine it jammed against tbe front of the separator, pinning both men. At this instant, however,Mr. Broth well got the lever and (topped the machine, or both would have been crushed to death instantly. In spite of the awful blow Mr. ! Brothwell bad strength and pre- 1 sence of miod enough to reverse ' the engine and release himself and ! his companion. As tiie release came both men ' dropped to l&e-ground helpless. The doctors were called and the men cared for as best as possible. It was found that Whiting was not seriously hurt. He was fac ing the separator when the crash came and was terribly squeezed across the abdomen, but soon af ter the shock was over he was able to get around. But Brothwell did not fare so well, tb^ nose cf tbe elevator caught him in the back, scraping tbe spine and lacerating him ser iously. He was facing the engine at the time and his abdomen came in contact with the hot boiler burning him quite seriously. His most serious injuries, of course, were on the spine. The wounds were dressed and < and properly cared for, but just • what may follow is not known at this writing. The ceptic condi tions are not at all favorable, the i wound being made by a grimy ob- < ject and through his work clothes. : Of course poisons are ground into : the wound. If blood poisoning may be avoided the man will probably be all right in a few weeks. i But it was a mighty close call 1 for both of them. Had the stop ping of the engine occurred the ' merest fraction of a second later they would both on them been 1 killed on the spot—Ord Quiz. l _ ( Miss Jessie Hays spent Sunday with friends at Arcadia. LITCHFIELD MAN MES SNDDENLY I.E.K»tzfar,Sa Miles Vest •ILitch Mi Breps Bmi m Field. fksbmably ieait faiuie Monday afternoon of this week. H. EL Kintzler. a farmer liring some six miles west of Litchfield, while working in his field, sudden ly dropped dead. He was talking with a neighbor along friendly lines. While working about his farm, he was struck on the head by a piece of machinery, but seemingly suffered no inconveni ence at the time. Whether death came as a result of the injury in the morning, or as a result of j some derangement of the heart. ( we did not learn. Deceased was aged about 32 years and left a J wife ami three children. He ltad been married twice, his first Twite being a sister of A. W. Boecking. present deputy county clerk, and after her death again married about a .year and a half ago. Mr. Boecking went over to Litchfield yesterday morning to attend the funeral. Frank Petersen and wife left Monday morning for Manning. N. D., up on the Canada line, where they went to settle the es tate of a brother of Mrs. Peter sen, whose mysterious Tdeath, either by suicide or at the hands of some mnrderons party was mentioned in these columns some weeks ago. They were to be Joined enroute by Mrs. Petersen’s two svsteis balf-brother, and they expect to jointly inherit the properties and monies left by de ceased. The county dads finished tbeir business last week Wednesday af ternoon, after a day and a half session. The boys hustle through their business sessions at .the rapidest possible schedule time. BOTH SIDES CLAIM TO BE WINNING According to loporto From Bertii and London, Batfa Gomans and All its are Gaining n the Great Straggle. CONFLICTING REMITS GIVEN OVT. Judging by what may be glean ed from telegraphic reports re ceived from Dews headquarters on either side the allies or the Ger man «ide. just whichever way your sympathies lead. The allies, according to the ver satile correspondents, the German advance in East Prussia has been stopped by the Russians, with the Austrians cutting but little figure in results. In the great battle on the border between France and Germany, the allies proclaim the Teuton efforts to smash the French front has been repulsed. It is claimed the Indian allies of the allied forces, to the number of 200,000 are fast arriving in France, while the claim is confidently claimed that great numbers of Russian troops are coming down to France through British posses sions to join the allied forces there. From German sources, great confidence is expressed at the out come of the great battle, the Ger mans rapidly reinforcing their lines and perfect confidence is ex pressed at Berlin that the Teutons are gaining ground. In the east, German advises are to thfe effect that the Germans are drivingjaack the Russ, while Austria is routing the Servians. The Belgians are proving unable to interfere with German communications, and that everywhere the German hosts are pushing forward to victory. New complications are said to be arising. Roumania may join forces with Germany and Aus tria while Bulgaria is showing Plans For Consolidated Rural High School Plans are being considered fora consolidated rural high school in the county. It is encouraging to note how the thoughts of the peo p!e are turning to this great quectioia. It will be a matter of only a few years when the boys and girls living on farms will have all the advantages of the boys and girls of the city or town. The first thing the new legisla ture should do is give us a sensible consolidation law which will per mit the majority to rule and give us state aid to schools which will consolidate. The question is often ask within and without the teaching profes sion. “In what way and to what extent does the school affect the parents of the children? The teacher should endeavor to become acquainted with the par Sherman County Fair In Fnll Sway Bigger and Better Than Ever A hasty visit yesterday to the park, prior to going to press, shows good exhibit horses, cattle, poultry, while owing to the loss of hogs lately there are not many of them in to the fair. Down in the park grounds are numerous concessions, mostly eat affairs, with but few shows on. The agri cultural and horticultural exhibits are so extensive that a special building had to be prepared for them, while the pavillion is full to running over with the fine arts exhibits, Good ball games are scheduled for Wednesday, Thurs day and Friday, with a double header today (Thursday). Wed nesday’s game in the afternoon was between Arcadia and Scotia, but going to press that afternoon precludes giving result of same. Today, Litchfield and Ashton, and Arcadia and Ravenna are to try conclusions forenoon and after noon. Friday, Arcadia and Ord are staged for the afternoon. There are free attractions day and night, with music by our hand. A “better baby” show is on for this afternoon. The school exhibits are fine. Of course every one will go one or more days. Mrs. J. H. Bur well went to Hastings Tuesday to attend the W. C. T. U. convention in ses sion there this week.

The creamery people have just completed a sewer from the new creamery building south to Dead Horse. ents and try to secure their co operation. Some one has said, “There is no school unless the father, mother, teacher and pupil keep school together. ” I wish to urge upon the teacher the importance of training the pupil in the habit of promptness and also making them feel the necessity of being in school every day. The matter of keeping up interest of the pupils of the school is one of the most vital to the teacher and it should receive a great deal of her earnest thought and self examination. The teach er who fails to make his school in teresting has a very difficult posi tion to fill. We like whatever we are interested in and the ’ way to make pupils like the schooi is to make them interested in it. L. H. Currier. Quite an interesting vaudeville sketch team gave an entertainment at the Dreamland last Saturday evening, the house being crowded and quite pleased with the work. The team was composed of Bert R. Gallup and his wife, under the stage name of Eva E. Yeager, and the singing by Miss Yeager and dutch character work of Mr. Gallup gave evidence of their be ing well up in the profession. Mr. Gallup will be remembered by many of our people as being here with a company some few years ago at the old opera house. He promises to return here for a fu ture engagement late. Tenus Biemond last week re purchased from Alfred Baillie the propeety just south of the Metho dist parsonage, and has moved therein. /•' war spirit sympathies with Russia. Italy shows alarming symptoms towards getting into the struggle on the side of the allies. Thns is given the situation in the Sunday and Monday dispatch es from both sides, and you may suit yourself as to belief either way. or in neither way. In real ity. we do not believe the struggle fairly on yet, and certainly not to such an extent that one may safe ly prophesy the ultimate end. The Geneva correspondent of the London Express under date of Sept. 9, hears from a German scourse that Emperor William watched the attack on Nancy from a hill outside the range of the French artillery. Standing alone, with the glasses glued to his eyes, he followed the progress of his battle for several hours, while his staff consisting of several high officers, remained discreetly in the background. He departed alone in a waiting motor car. War or No War' Voters Will Vote War or no war the voters of Ne braska will have to decide in a few weeks who shall be governor of Nebraska—among other things. The following, therefore, may be a bit of interesting information to them. It is from the State Jour nal. It would be idle to deny that there is an element in the republi can party that would like to wit ness the defeat of R. B. Howell for governor. There is likewise a considerable element in the democratic party that would like nothing better than to see Mr. Bryan put out of leadership. As for Brother Charley they want him fed to the pigs. These demo crats did everything they dared to do at the meeting of the commit tee on Wednesday to throw mud at the peerless leader. They would have done a great deal more but caution whispered to them to stop. They want Gover nor Morehead elected, and will need every Bryan vote to pull him across. Mr. Howell knows just where the operation lies in his own party, and will not spend any time trying to placate it. In stead he will wear the hostility of Mr. Rosewater and some other republicans as a badge of honor, and will go out and show it to the voters and ask them what they think about it. Mr. Howell isn’t going to make his campaign through committees and newspa pers. He is going to take an automobile and put himself where he can have a heart to heart talk with the people who do the vot ing. A. Spelts’ big farm team, which was at one of the lumber yards last Saturday with the run ning gears of the wagon waiting to get a load of lumber, got tired of standing and made a hasty spin up Nebraska avenue, ending their mad fight at the southwest corner of the public square, when one of the animals got mixed up with the tongue and falling the team was caught by the bystanders. No damage save the breaking of the tongue at the reach. Dr. Mary A. K, Henkrickson was; a passenger to Hazard and Lifcshfieklon business matters,
