The Busy Druggist
Taft Clubs Organized.
Vice-Chairman Myers , of the
Republican County Central Com
mittee , returned from a two
days tour around the county
Wednesday morning , with Morris
Brown and Judge Norris as
speakers. Monday afternoon at
Ocouto Norris Brown addressed
a large audience of interested
people who were anxious to hear
the political issues discussed.
Immediately following his talk a
large Young Men's Taft Club
was organised. From Oconto
they went to Callaway where an
outdoor meeting was held. Be
tween 500 and 000 people listened
to Mr. Brown and many who
were wavering in their decisions
between Taft and Bryan an
nounced their intention of sup
porting Taft at the close of the
the meeting. Arrangements
were made for the organisation
'
of a strong Taft Club'in Calla
way , and if they go into the Talt
Club in that little city as they do
in everything else there , Calla
way will have a HepublicanClub
that will make the other towns
in the county hustle to keep
ahead of. Their next point was
Anselmo where a good meeting
was held Tuesday afternoon and
a Taft Club organised with a
large membership. Teuesday
evening a meeting was held in
Mcrna and Judge Norris address
ed a fair si/.ed audience on the
"Phillinine Islands. " A move
was started 'for the organisation
of a Taft Club in this city and
we expect to hear good results
from there soon. If Organiser
Myers keeps up the pace he is
going for a few weeks Custer
county will have more Taft Clubs
in it than any county in the
state. The beauty of which
they are compased of young men.
Storm at Dunning.
Reports from Dunning say that
a livery barn was blown down
and sevanal houses unroofed dur
ing a heavy rain storm laat
night. The depot also suffered
as several windows were blown
in. No loss of life reported.
A Chautauqua should be liber
ally patronised for it is a great
benefit to a community , but we
believe it should be handled
by home people rnd not by for
eign syndicates. Either the
Commercial Club or the Civic
Improvement Club or both should
have charge of the Chautauqua
in Broken Bow next year. It can
be run as profitably as our coun
ty fair. This should be looked
into at once and commence
dating speakers. If this is done
the profits will remain at home
and will help in a good cause.
COAL FOUND IN

Street Brothers Again I'iiiii Coal While

County of Nehrnska.
Custer county , with its fertile
soilsits rolling prairies , its num
berless hills on which stock can
grnsc almost the year round , its
numerous valleys and table lands ,
the productiveness of which is
hard to exccll , may have greater
wealth producing avenues than
all these added to the county's
resources before many months
have passed into history. An
addition which would benefit
every man , woman and child , and
would bring many miners to our
county to bring the black diamonds
mends to the surface where coal
could be bought cheaper than it
is now. It would be hard to esti
mate in round numbers just what
value several coal mines would
mean to Cuslcr county , but it is
safe to say that a vein of six
inches at a depth of 180 feet is
sufficient evidence to warrant
prospecting for a vein that
would pay to work. In March
1905 Street Bros found a three
inch vein of coal on the farm of
W. T. Kansley , fourteen miles
southwest of this city at a depth
of fifty feet. The six inch vein
was found recently while putting
down a well for John Miller , who
resides five miles southwest of
Ansley. They first struck rock
at a depth of 100 feet and went
through thirteen layers ranging
in thickness from four inches to
four feet before they struck coal.
The vein is about six inches in
thickness and is underlaid with
sand , gravel uud rock. A sample
of this coal can be seen at Street
Bros. Shop.
Now For the County Fair.
The year 1908 promises for
Custer County a banner year.
We have had a most seasonable
year for one of the best crops ev
er raised in the County. The
duly thing now iiccccsnary to
make the'Custer County Fair a
grdnd success is. for every man ,
woman and child to put their
shoulder to the wheel and prepare
something to bring to the Fair.
Pick out a few hills of corn a
bundle of wheat , oats , barley or
rye and tie it up nicely hanging
it up with heads downward , gath
er a variety ot Custer County
grasses , help the children earn u
premium by getting up some spec
ial designs out of grains , grasses
etc , thus teaching them industry
skill and nroyressiveness.
The Custer County Fair will be
held on the beautiful grounds ad-
joiningBroken | Bow. Is a growing
industry with a greatly increased
premiun list with many special
premium oilers. You can help
increase them for another year
by pushing the Fair. Show your
interest by your presence , bring
something , see your neighbors
and ask them to prepare some
thing , join together and form a
neighborhood display , pull to
gether , show what you have in
your locality , take a premium ,
show your products ; you have
something , display it. Boost for
Custer County.
Be a live one , arrange to bring
the family for an outing , write ,
telephone , and send word to your
friends to meet you at the Fair.
Your eyes were made forseeinu :
come and see what Custer
County can do , inspire a "want-
to-know" feeling within yourself
and neighbors , discuss the Fair
in perpetuating the higher intei-
ests ol Custer County. The man
agement have arranged for some-
excellent nttractioivi to amuse
and entertain the crowds.
One of the sppcial attractions
lor this year is Homer Wilson
with his famous eight act Cowboy
trick riding , bronco breaking and
ropeing. This feature alone will
be worth your time and moiu-y ,
besides you will r.ee a good many
races , the fine stock exhibits and
have a chance to win some of the
grand sweepstake prises whirh
are offered.

THE FURNITURE MAN.
Frightened For a Moment.
While walking along the
street the other day we noticed
a crowd of men listening to a
politician who was making sonic
assertions and telling them what
would be the result in Custer
county this fall. One of his
broad assertions was that- every
man in the county old enough
would vote for Bryan at the
coming election except those who
were drawing a salary , they , of
course , would vote for Taft. As
we were new here the assertion
kind of staggered us just a little
and we wondered if it was not
time for Chairman Pig man and
\ricc-Chairinan the balance
\ - Myers ,
ance of the Central Committee
and the few salaried men in the
county to get busy and see if
they could not counteract such
calamity. After reasoning for a
short time we came to the con
clusion that the politician was
about right in his remarks for
every man in the county , be he
merchnnt , clerk , banker , farmer ,
lawyer , carpenter , etc. , is vir
tually working for a salary the
proceeds he derives from his
business. Desiring to know who
this politician was we hunted up
mi old resident and pointed him
out and were told that the ini-
tiale of his first name was Jess
and his last name Gandy. Now ,
we are resting perfectly easy.
Let us be your printer.
