THE MINER BROTHERS CO.
"A Mighty Safe Place to Trade"
tlio teunlH laeket nml the little boys
tiro playing unit bios, Wo deduce from
tlioso observations that spring is nenr.
Henry C. Richmond, a Wcbstercoun
ty product la asking for tlio nomina
tion to tlio olllco of statu iiuilitor and
in recognition of his past services to
this county lie ought to rocelvo a
generous vote from us. Henry hns
worltcd hard and has iiuulo good.
Lets boost him all wo can.
Tlio long oxpetioneo which Mr.Ulirls
Fassler has Intel with property values
fully equips him for the olllco of coun
ty assessor. Mr. Fussier on joys a most
favorablo imputation in this county
and ho is a man In whom tho pcoplo
have confidence. He is an old settler
and knows Webster county intimately.
Ho is honest and fair minded and will
iniiko an excellent otllcial.
P. W. Shea of Orleans is a candidate
for district delegate to the national
convention. Mr. Shea will be remem
bered here most favorably since lie en
gaged in business in the Bentlcy block
some years ago, Ho favors a platform
slmlliar to tho Denver platform of
I0o8 and agrees to respect the mandate
of tho voters of this district. That is
enough to ask of any delegate and it
is enough to secure for him most
favorablo consideration.
There is no opposition to the nomi
nation of Mr. Fred Maurcr for the
oillce of county attorney and yot wo
must not neglect to vote for him on
that account. He has conducted his
ollice with fairness and impartiality
and has reudered valuable assistance
to the board of county commissioners.
He has been careful of the Interests of
Webstor county and should be retain
ed for another term. Lets give Fred
every democratic vote in the county on
tho nineteenth.
A man that goes quietly about his
work and yet who does things Is W. L.
Weesner. Mr. Wocsner served a term
in tho last legislature float representa
tive with credit to himself and to his
constitutonts, In asking for thoofllco
of state senator ho is but acceding to
the wishes of his many friends, Ho
proved by his labors two years- ago
that ho was an honest independent
i
thinker and had tho courage to vote
for what he believed to bo right and
equitable. Ho is a safe man to intrust
with our a Hairs
Very little hns been said in regard to
the constitutional amendments which
are to be submitted to tho will of tho
voters at this coming primary election.
In another part of this issuo you will
find thoso proposed amondmonts which
you are asked to niiiUo n candidate of
your party. They arc all worthy of
your careful consideration. Wo aro
especially interested in tlio bi-annual
election mrasuio believing that this
would be most bcncllciul to ui all Art
II. K we ate electloncd to death. Wo
hio in the business of electing olllcers
all the tlino and wo ought to have a
rest. Wo can suvo timo and money by
having one election every two years.
Hon. A. C. Shallenbcrger, candidate
for the olllco of United States Senator
is a man big enough for tho position.
Ho is a man of wide experience, caro
ful judgement and knows the needs of
the people. It is seldom that the west
end of the state secures anything llko
a fair representation In the matter of
otllco holding and it is fitting that
when we have a candidate that is
qualified we should stay with him and
see that wo get a man who knows what
wo want. This fact alone ought to get
for Mr. Shallengbcrgcr every voto in
this district. He has been tried and
we know that he has the ability and
the integrity to creditably fill the
otllco of United States Senator.
The record that Hon. G. W. Llndsey
made in tho last legislature ought to
bo sufficient to give him another term.
One reason why tho east end always
gets moro favorable legislation than
the west end is the fact that when they
gut a good man and ho shows by bis
work that he cau deliver the groceries
they keep him there. Wo ought to
learn the lesson and hold on to a good
man when we get him, Mr. Llndsey
served this county honestly and faith
fully and voted just as he skid bo
would vote. His experience that he
gained in the last session will ,be of
much benellt not only to him but to
Webster county in tho next session.
No matter how anxious a man may be
he must learn the whys and where-
So when you look over our merchandise, con
sider that it represents progress in merchandising-it
represents our idea of service.
In bringing you the best merchandise we can
buy, we feel that you weigh points of value as well as
price. We have not centered our efforts in buying
merchandise that would be tempting by reason of the
more prices we could mark upon it. Purity, dur
ability, appearance, originality of styles-in a word
Quality is our Ideal. . When our prices are compared
with others you will find they are very reasonable.
fores before ho is able to do renljefflcl
ent work. Mr. Llndsey should bo re
turned. Brother E'lsou of the Argus was
playtully alarmed last week lest we
should tako umbrage because a Super
ior paper gavo us the credit for one of
his charming editorials. It is all one
to us just so tho credit comes to Bed
Cloud. We would oven bo willing to
shoulder ono of Brother Hosmor's elo
quent praises of Norris if Red Cloud
receives the proper recognition. But
what wo most strenously object to is
the stealing of tlio heavy editorials
from all threo of our paper by the
metropolitan pi ess and giving credit
therefor to some big Now York dally
that Is already over burdened with
praise and condemnation. The Chicago
-Record Herald invariably gots us
mixed up with tho Now York World
and gives that sheet the credit for our
finest outbursts of English. Rest easy,
Brother Edson, we are willing to share
and share alike.
Bev. I. K. Funk, senior editor of the
Literary Digest, passed away last week
at tho age of seventy three years.
Learning that Mr. Funk used to preach
in the neighborhood where tho Kaley
brothers were reared we called upon
C. W. Kaley and ho gave us a most in
teresting interview in regard to this
preacher-publisher.
It seems that Mr. Funk was a Luth
ern preacher and in tho years between
1805 and 1870 he had several appoint
ments in Ohio among them were Casey,
Van Luc and Limestone Ridge. Tho
Kaley home was situated between
Casey and Limestone Ridge and Rev.
Fuuk always accepted tho invitation to
stop and be entertained. Charley dis
tinctly remembers these visits because
of the cheerfulness (?) with which ho
took care of the ministers horse and
cleaned the low-top buggy. But be
met with indifforent success at preach
ing and a few years later found Rev.
Funk in New York City editor of a
newspaper called "The Voice." This
organ was intensely prohibition and re
ceived large donations from the adher
ents of that principal so that this
publishing business was a success from
the start. Mr. Funk was a great read
er and possessing an analytical mind
be conceived the idea of culling the
Important from tlio unimportant and
started the "Literary Digest." This
met with popular approval nnd receiv
ed an abundant patronage from the
beginning. Later on ho formed a
partnership with a young man named
Wagnalls and they enlarged their plant
and began publishing books of a relig
ious nnd scientific nature.
About two years ago Mr. Kaley call
ed at the olllco of the Literary Digest
nnd received a cordial welcome Irom
tho now excluslvo Mr. Funk and they
spent several hours in talking over the
old times back in Ohio.
Mr. Funk, after finding his right vo
oillon, filled a position creditable and
rendered ,i real service to humanity,
lie was greatly Interested in psychical
research and was the author of several
volumes pertaining to the unknown
powers of the mind. In his later yeats
ho was an avowed spiritualist and be
fore his death promised to attempt to
communicate with his friends after he
had passed into tho great beyond.
For Fifth District Delegate
FRANK T. SWANSON.
Mr. Swanson of Clay Center, who
aspires to represent this district in the
Democratic national convention was
born and raised in Clay County. Ho
Is a through and through progressive,
a faithful followor of Mr. Bryan, and
can bo trusted to fight for a progress
ive candidate and platform at Balti
more. In a letter to bis friends he ex
presses personal preference for Champ
Clark or Woodrow Wilson as being the
men best fitted to carry the Democratic
progressive banner in 1012, but reiter
ates his early promise that the choice
of tho district shall bind him ontprcsi
dentlal preference. He speaks in no
uncertain terms in a clear progressive
platform that must appeal to every
progressive in this district.

To tho kind friends who so ably as
sisted us in our deep sorrow we wish
to tender our sincere thanks. Our
words aro too feeble to express our
deep gratitude but every word and ac
tion will eror be remembered. We
also thank the Modern Woodman for
their services and for tho lovely floral
offerings,
