The message did not convey any particulars. Ras ' .Anderson , of thl'Vest . elevator , was in Omaha Monday _ . . I to secure another supply of coal for his bins. He had them all filled the first of the month nd If .10' sold all . but two . bins , so he thought It about time to load up " , again-before cold weather comes in earnest. 1 The porato crop in this vicinity IS an abundant one this year , many wagon loads being brought to the city each day. At present the price is 75 and 80 cents per I bushel , according to size and' ' quality. Last year the crop was . . ' short , quality none too good and ' " price something equal to fierce. ' Make a cross in the circle next to the word "Republican" at the . . head of the ticket and then without - out making another mark on itex- . . cept on the division question , lay down the. pencil , fold " up the ballot - lot and hand it to "the custodian of the ballot box and you will have performed your duty as a Hepublican.

Nordstrom was over from Comstock last Friday and reported - ed all farmers in that vi.clUity highly , prosperous and enJoYlUg hfe. Mrs. Mattie Linville , of Custer City , Oldahoma , arrived in the city last Wednesday , to visit with relatives. She is a sister of Jas. McWilliams. Jas. McWilliams , who returned a eek ago from a visit to Oklahoma - homa , will leave the first of the week for Deadwood , where his boys arc in the employ of the B. & M. railroad.

'rhe second number-of the Y. P. S. C. ] . entertainment course will be given Tuesd y evening , November 12 , by the Cincinnati Ladies' orchestra. The company consists of nine members and C"'tl1es very highly recommended. 'rhere is not a reason on earth why every Republican should not vote the Republican ticket and vote it straight. The Hepublican nominees are good , capable business - ness men who will serve you I honestly and satisfactorily if you do your duty and elect them. C. W. Garton recently sold his place in the southwest part of the city and purchased a farm near Riggol.d , in McPherson , and yesterday lIe and Mrs. Garton left overland for the scene of their future labors , 80 miles dis- tant. The REPUBLICAN hopes they will re p riches in their new hQme. Mr and Mrs. Herbert Watts are enjoying a visit from his father and mother , Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Watts , of .I'alls ! City , who arrived in-th city Tuesday evening - ing and will remain for a couple of weeks and then go to Hyannis - nis and li ye on a ranch for a couple of years , having leased their hotel property in Falls City for tha t length of time. Frank Palmer and J. A. J en- nings of Loup township , were in the city one day last week , and , 1though Mr. Palmer has resided . there for 18 ) 'ears , this was his' ' second visit to the county seat during that time , and stated that he would vote against divJsion as he was well satisfied as it now is , not caring to have his taxes increased as he knows they would be should the county be divided. O. P. Olson , who resides near Callaway , was a business visitor to Broken Bow last Saturday. Regardless of the fact that he is a nearb resident of Callaway , he is opposed to dividing Custer county on the line proposed , which goes to show that he knows that such a division would greatly increase his taxes and he is burdened with enough at the present writing. One of the most important offices to be filled at the election is that of assessor. Everybody who has property is Int rested in having a man of experience , good judgment and absolute fairness to have chargeof the assessments , one who has no friends to reward or enemies to punish. . M. R. 'Foster is just that kind of a man. He is one of our old residentR and as deputy assessOl of Victori1L township bas been so accurate in Hsting the values of property that the hoard of equalization have found it unnecessary to change his assessments. You cannot elect i1. man better fitted for the position or one who will discharge the duties thereof more honestly , faithfully or conscien- tiously. He is not a politician and you may rest assured that his deputies will be appointed with reference to the wishes 01 each township and the fitness of the applir.ants. ' , . . . > , ' . . I . I ' , j .

'fhere are thany honest , sincere men in favor of county divison , men who believe in good government - ment and that by divison the whole county will be benefitted. But look over the le"clers. Is there a man in the whole bunch , from Dick Brega down to Prof. H. H. Hyatt. who hasn't a selfish - fish per onal notive in the fight. Misses Emma Scott , Florence 'rhostensen and Christina Springer - er entertained the G. 't' . B. club at the Springer residence Monday night with a , "pumJ > kin party , " pumpkins being stnctly in evidence - dence and arranged in every conceivable - ceivable shape , the refreshments being served in pumpkins cut in halves. 'l'he G. 'r. B. club is a I new one in the city , composed of I ' fourteen young ladies , organized' to spend an evening together pleasantly every other week. o G. H. Thorpe , head miller at the Broken Bow Mill the past fiften years , met with a severe accident last Saturday which will perhaps give him a'lay off for two or three months. In stepping - ping over an old well one foot slipped and fell , breaking his leg. .Mr. Thorpe is about sixty years of age and the accident is a severe one. However , his host of friends hope he will recover more specdily than the physician an- tici atc . 'I'he division meeting at Ans- lel Mon lay night was very slimly attended , although Dick Brega , the division grand stand artist was advertised as the star orator. Itvas found necessary at the time for the meeting to begin - gin to go out and drum up a crowd or else tall { to the empty bcnches. Judge Sullivan of this cit.r was in attendance and upon being given an opportunit.y to speak proceeded to do so and racked the arguments of the divisionists so badly they didn't know where they were at. The new oven in the City Bakery , which lIas been in operation - tion only about a month , caved in some time during Monday night on account of not enough arch ill the top having been given it at the time of construc- tion. It is a heavy blow to Mr. Blair who has been to a g-reat ex- f.lense in fitting up a new bakery in the Gleim block , yet he 5lid not suspend business on account of the misfortune , but fired up the old oven on the North side and is supplying his customers as usual , while the collapsed oven is being rebuilt. Will Prove a Valuable Member. The present is the age of young menand recognizing this fact the republicans have nominated one of the brightest young men m the county for supervisor of the sixth district. Herbert E. Myers is strictly a Custer couuty product - duct , and every voter of his district - trict ought to give him a chance to show what kind of stuff he is made oi. Mr. M . vcrs left a Cus- ter county farm.to obtain an education in the state university. He graduated with high honors , and was accorded o.Je : of the very brightest students in that great institution of learning. He is splendidly equipped in ev ry way for entry upon almost any business - ness or profession , but like a hard headed , sensible young man , he has returned to the farm and is proud to be known as a farmer in th ( > best county in the best state in the union. He has made good in every position in which he has been placed and t 1ere is no rea30n to doubt , that if 'elect- ed as a member of the board of supervisors , he will be one of the most valuable members of that body , and make a record for which none will need to be ashamed. The taxpayers of Cus- ter county contribute their share I towards the support of the state. . university and the only way they can get value in return for the same is to get it out of the boys who are thus enabled to get a college education. Farmers' boys all over the state are coming out of this Institution fitted for all professions , and particularly for the profession of farming , the one great industry of this state , and the old methods of farming ar giving way to the : scientific farming which requires brain as well as muscle. 'l'hose who may b inc1in d to make light of Herbert Myers , because h.e is a young man and a college gradn- te , do not know him. Added to his natural abilify , he inherits good business sense , and J1as had a training and discipline which will insure success in anything he undertakes , aud by eiecting him a member of the board of supervisors the taxpayers of the sixth district will be acting . for their own best interests.
