Ptitar Morton Illue lllll The county Democratic ticket well represents the entire county. With two candidates from the north, two from the south and one from the mid dle we feci that the distribution is just and equable. Every man nn the ticket is worthy of support nud will make an excellent ofllcial. Democrats have reason to congratulate themselves on this condition and will have a sweeping victory nt the polls in No-ember. Last week in our article on the ad visability of forming a county commer cial club we inadvertently omitted the city of Guide Hock, which we regret extremely. In proof reading we over looked the omission and consequently that place did not appear. However we feel that the good people of Guide Rock will understand und will not take umbrage. While we are on the subject wo might say that wc have re ceived a number of letters of encour agement from over the county which shows that the idea will bo a popular one. In two weeks our schools will open. A good start Is a buttle half won. The busy .season, harvest feasts, reunions and fairs will be past. The golden op portunity meets you at a most oppor tune time. You have had a rest from your labors and been refreshed by pleasant associations, und ttow feel ready for duty. You nre impressed that life requires a fitness to get the most out of it, and your aspirations lead you in seeking for that which will mete out to yon a full recompense of reward for endeavors put forth. Our schools have wisely and carefully con sidered you and your desires and have made special provisions" to meet these demands, and cordially invite you thither. You will find here good aoclety, pleasant associations, and a most hospitable people. Come and see us, learn our school advantages and know they arc not excelled by any 'town of its size in the state. ofllce just as It Is now hut not nillllat ing with any party. Then one cam paign would be sntlloiutit and the re sults would probably bo the same. There aro a good many reasons whj this arrangement would he satlsfao tory, chief among which Is the matter of cost. At present the cost of hold ing two elections is considerable. The candidates lose a good deal of time nud spend considerable money, The people as a whole spend many days of their tltno discussing the various can didates and lioneo arc away from their usual labor, which represents a loss. If this were all added up wc would find thntoir elections cost us thous ands of dollars. Another thing is under the present system the candi dates themselves do not feel irs tho they had a party behind them or any one responsible for their candidacy and many n good man hesitates to come before the public asking for political honors. It is a safe predic tion that our present law Is not going to remain long in its present provis ions. Wo do not feel warranted in saying that It Is not better than the convention system because at this last piimary thoie weto 175j people who voted, and that is a linger number than over attended the caucuses and conventions. If this city is to hold a fall festival it is time that arrangements were be ing made. 'So far as we nre concerned, we see no reason why an affair of this kind could not bo made very enter talnlng and profitable, A.s a matter of fact tilts city owes It lo tho sur rounding couutiy to furnish auntie inent and we should not neglect the oppoi Utility of doing our very best There ate a number of really (list class carnival companies which can bo se cured for a moderate liguio and thoy furnish good, clean attractions. 13ut if other towns In (ho state can get the flying machines, the man birds, so can Red Cloud. A lljiiiL' machine would draw thousands of people to this city. Everybody wants to see tho marvel of our own times and If the merchants and citizens want to confer a real favor upon the people in this territory they will secure a (lying machine to oper ate three or four days hero this fall. Now lot's get down to business and be gin preparations for a great big fall festival celebration something on the order of tho successful Fourth of July celebration, only bigger nnd better. Dining the piimary campaign and since, we have had the opportunity of talking with u great many people in regard to that law und we have fottnd but few defenders. Yet nearly all agree that it may work out to the best advantage of tho people. We might say that the composite opinion of politicians aud cltlr.ens 1h to change the primary law, if we must have such a law, so that there shall bo but one campaign, letting any one file for any Primary Election Webster County The following are the names and votes received in the county at the primary election by the various par ties: Judges of Supreme Court Republican John McFarland 188 Francis Hamer 255 Chas.

F. . . .Picnic a Big Success" sn-Vs,Vn Tile Odd Fellows picnic held at Guide Rock yesterday was, in many respects, the best ever held in the county. There ware between two and three thousand people on the grounds and from all appearances every indi vidual enjoyed himself to the utmost. It was a good naturcd crowd that gathered at the speaking and attend ed tho ball games nnd other sports. Tho Guide Hock brethren had every detail well in hand, and the entlte program was carried out with prompt ness aud dispatch. In tile moining tlio Red Cloud baud culled tho people to tho speaking stand by rendering sevetal selections of ex cellent music, after which 1. V. Cmry, platfoitn manager, Introduced Fred Flembach, who, in woll chosen sen tences, extended it cordial welcome to all visitors nnd gave a short resume of the doings of the Guide Rook lodge. After this welcome everyone felt that he had been personally invited and consequently made himself at home. Rev. 10. N. Tompkins of this city gave tho response in his easy, tlueut style. He mako the people of Guide Rock fully understand that it was a pleasure and an honor to accept such a kind invitation nnd nssuted them that all the visitors were delighted to mingle with such an hospitable people. A. A. Cressman, by request of the management, entertained the audi ence the remainder of the time bcfoiu diuner and did himself full credit. Then came tho basket dinner, tho like of which probably has ncer been equalled in this part of the state There was enough and to spire, and theusqmo.

B. J. Overiug, Jr., the next speaker, showed the relation that Odd Fellow ship holds among the other great or ganizations of the world in an Interest ing way aud succeeded in dwelling upon themes not touched upon by tho other speakers. Paul Storey, the pi esent grand mast er, informed tlio audiouce that It was a pleasure for him to be present, but that he would refrain from delivering an cxteuded address ou account of the fact that the hall gamo was about to begltt and ho did not wish to disappoint u single fan. The ball game was played by tho teams of (luido Rock and Iuavale, the latter carrying oh" the honors by the score of ten to eight. ' In tho horseshoe pitching contest Fred Hnght and Al Decker were the champions. Withal tlje picnic was an unbounded success. 'I here was not a hitch or a single thing to mar the entire day and the crowd was a big one. Red Cloud furnished between two and three hun dred aud each and every one returned home well pleased with tiie courtesy and entertainment of the Guide Hock people. E. J. Overing Makes a Hit at an Orator E. J. Overiug Jr. Is rapidly develop ing into a sensational orator of the first dimension. At his last perform ance, at Edisou, Thursday, the excite ment was raised to such u pitch that one woman fainted aud a man broke his leg. This Is a better record than the aeronauts have mado. While their exhibitions are attended with thrills and accidents, they themselves are generally the victims, save iu the iso lated case where an aeroplane ran into the premeicr of France and his cabinet. Orators sometimes hurt themselves, but it is seldom that one creates suffi cient emotion to cause women to faint. That, however, has been known to occur before, but wo believe that there is no record of a man breaking his leg from the intensity of passion excited by nn orator's eloquence. Mr. Overing, as speaker, and Paul Storey, as Grand Master of the Od'd Fallows were at a picnio at Edison Tuesday, where a fraternal day was celebrated. TheA.O U.W. and other fraternal orders were represented, and this city made u really good showing in tho persons of its representatives. AMto fr Salt, lt)0 bu., of sprayed sutnmor apples. On the D.
