Oue dcmocrat remarked' us a few days ago that there were two republican tickets ia the neld and he preferred the straight one , headed by Roosevelt. A vote for Roosevelt and the republican party this fall will be a v te for the people and against the trusts. No voter can afford to throw his vote away this fall by voting for some side issue. Th democrats of the west seem to fully rcali7.e that the corporation interests of the east has full control of the leaders of tbetr pa\'ty and that the only safe thing to do is to vote for Roose- velt. The late rains have in a measure - sure delayed the harvest but the damage from grain lodging has been comparatively light. With . . dear weather the rest of the week a large per cent of the small grain will be in the shock. " . . ft The Beacon seems to be convinced - vinced of , the folly of fusion and now comes out square toed against fusion with democrats. It is another instance of locking the barn door after the horse has , be'en stolen. . John Weheling ftf the West 'rabIe , says his grain is requiring from 4 to 5 pounds of twine to the acre. He had estimated he would bind his grain wit 500 pounds of twine , but after he commenced to cut he increased his order to 800 pounds. This is . only a sample of the crop in every part of he county. Yet there is good la d in the county not in cultivatio that can be bought very easonable. Custer county . . . bas room for 5,000 more farmers to utili7.e all her farm land. . One who travels over CustaJ ounty nd views the splendid crops of wheat , oats and alfalfa and 11 ammoth fields of corn can readily understand why fhe farmers - ' . ers of Custer county have so rapidly grown prosperous. 'l'here I arc hu'ndreds of farmers in Cus- ter county who will have fully two thousand dollars worth of grain this fall , .besides the grdwth of their steele and income from their cream , poultry 'and garden. 'l'hose wlto have not raised a crop worth $1,000 is the exception.

Electric Railroad Mretlug' Last Saturday Messers Hum- phn y , Lonergan and Hublee went to Arnold to attend the meeting of the promoters of the proposed Broken Bow , Arnold and Gandy Electric Railroad. They report the people of that vicinity very enthusiastic over the success of the project. They went with the committee to examine - amine the proposed location of the dam and find it all that has been claimed for it. Mr. Loner : ' gan says there is no (10ubt but a 200 horse power can be furnishcd. There has been forty-one thousand - and dollars of cash subscribed and three townships in Logan and Lincoln county guarant ed a bond of * 17,000 to help buil < \ , the road to the Custer county line. n is estimated that $360)- 000 can be secured from the Lincoln - . coln county line to Broken Bowen : on subscription on the basis of five cents a bushel { or the grain raised this year , tributary to the road , which is only about half that it would co t to haul thcir grain to market. In order'to save the expense of hauling the ! material to build the road the ! plan now is to put in the dam and string the wi're ' to BJoken ; Bow and commence building from this point and thus , be able to draw their own material 'as the 'road ' advances. The committee'r gard the project feasible and that it only requires push and ability to make it a success. It is beleived the farmers .along the proposed line will gladly helJ , > the project along ) 'lhen they rtghtly pnder- stand the ben'efits to be derived. It is proposed to hold a mass meeting at Arnold after the rush of harvest is over , with the view of having a general turnout of the citizens and a full discussion of the matter. The company is now incorporated' we . commence - mence the publicatio.n of. the Articles of Incorporation in the RI\PUUI.ICAN : this week. 'rho Oldy Real 'Circus. , - - The people of Custer cou tHy should not be misled in the amusemcnt line. The two or three circuses which are to. visit Custer county , are only sideshows as compared with the great Custer County Fair , which is to cxhibit inBroken Bow , September 6-7-8-9. The circus comes in the night , puts on a flaring parade , gets your money quickly and. gets out of town. The fair is on for four ( lays and it shows ) 'ou a hot time night and day with many of the principal up-tn-the-air attractIons that the circus brings. You ate in no danger of loosing your pocketbook or being buncoed 'by the shell game. Truly the Custer County Fair is the greatest show th t will visit Custer county this year. If YOlt can come to BroIecn Bow but once , let that once be ( luring the f ir dates. Your team goes into the -rounds free , and you win be furmshed a tent for yourself' and family without charge.

I . . . . r I Broken noW n 84 College. - New life has beet ! injected into - to the Business College at Broken Bow by the reorganization of the institution. A meeting of the stockholders was recently held and as a result the school IS now officered by a board of seven di- rectors. consisting of the following - ing parties : J. D. Heam , President ; Jules IIaumont , Vice-president ; 1 . H. Purcell , Secretary ; II. Lomax , 'l\reasurer ; Geo. Zahn , Superintendent - tendent ; A. R. Humphrey , W. B. Eastban.l. 'l'his institution has a paid up capital of $10,000 and the stockholders - holders comprise about 70 of the leading farmers , stockmen and business men of Custer county , At the mceting held nearly ll the stock was represented. 'rhe new board has taken hold of the mangement with a determination to make this school strictly first class in cvery respect. 'l'he teachers tlms far cmployed are Prof. Zahn , Superintendent ; Prof. Huff , Principal of the Business Department ; Miss Nellie Read , Principal of the Shorthand and 'l\ypewriter Department , all of them thorough instructors and highly qualified in every way. Custer and adjoining counties furnish a field for this school which should make it a financial success , and Broken Bow , with its no-license sentiment , is a natural location for a strong busivess college. The large membership of this school from the time it was first organized has been a surprise to evecybody , and yet it has now only started oti its career. 'l'he stockholders of this school and the citizens of Custer County generally are to congratulated on the showing the school has made. Its graduates - ates are now holding positions all over Custer county and in fact the state of Nebraska. 'Vith the renewed interest and activity shown it will be greatly strengthened - ened the coming year and many new features added. . 'l'he Custer County young man or young womau just starting out in life cannot afford to miss the advantages offered by this institution. Old SettlerlJ or the Southwest. The first meeting of the Old Settlers of the southwest part of the county was held at Callaway Wednesday of last week. The heavy rain of the 111ght previous made them late gathering attd the program arranged was not put on until afternoon. The session was presided over by the Vice-president of the Association - sociation , Hall Schneringer , and the exercises were opened by a selection by the Callaway band which was followed by singing "America" in which the audience joined. Rev. Runcie invoked Div1ne blessing. The Glee Club then furnished music after which the band furnished another selec- tion.

After the services the remains were followed - ed by these sorrowing friends to the \Veissert Cemeter y , where they were dismissed. X The question has been asked what will it cost the aver ge si7.ed family to go to a circus. Let's see , there is the main show 50 cents , reserved seats 25 cents extra , the side shows , the COIl- cert , the song. books , the lemon- adc stands , and the fakirs. About $15'will do it provided the 01 < 1 man don't run up against the shell game. How does thllt compare - pare with the county fair ? A dollar and a half buys a fa mily ticket good for four days , your team goes in on the deal , and you are furnished a free tent to camp out in.
