Ever since the beginning of this campaign a great many stories have been set in circulation regarding Chester H. Aldrich of this city , can didate for governor. The Ministerial Union of David City on its own motion assumed the responsibility of investigating the following charges with reference to Mr. Aldrich. and we believe it our duty to report the facts to the voteri of the state. i ( lThat Mr. Aldrich has been mcr rled several times. (2)That Mr. Aldrich made himself rich in the race horse business. (3)That ( ) nine years ago Mr. Aid- rich obtained a divorce for a New York woman on a perjured testimon (4)That ( ) Mr. Aldrich failed in David City and settled his indebted ness at the rate of 20 cents on the dollar. (5)That ( ) some six'years ago Mr. ' Aldrich sustained a broken leg as the result of a brawl in a house of illfame. ) 6 ( That Mr. Aldrich is in the habit of drinking and of becoming Intoxicated. . We find that each and every one of the above charges is absolutely false and malicious and we believe they are being circulated with a de liberate purpose to cloud the issue and confuse and deceive the voters of the state , with reference to the moral life and good citizenship of our fellow townsman. We believe further that we have conclusive proof that these stories emanated from brewery sources for the purpose of scattering the church vote. J. R. Gettys , Chmn. Pastor M. E. Church C. II.

Bryan visited Broken Dow Tuesday and delivered two addresses lie spoke to the pupils of the High School in the forenoon and made a political speech In the opera house In the afternoon. The building was crowded , several occupying standing space on the stage. His speech was divided into three parts. Ho first dwelt upon the de finition of democracy as contrasted with arrlsu v iv.cy. As the United States has no\Lr Let n in the class of arrlstocratlc governments , ho could , j if it had suited his purpose as well , have substituted the word ropubli- lican for democrat , as either repre sent in practice the same fofm of government. The Huvnpoon government that ha1 o recently changed to an 'elect ive- form cil'govi'rnmt'iit are purely on a republican form 01' government. ] patterned after the United States. The change cannot honestly be cre dited to 'democratic success from a political point of view as Mr. Bryan implied , no more than it could bo credited to republican success , as it was neither. J > The second division of his speech was an effort to claim democratic credit for all progressive legislation that has been had since the beginn ing of his public career fourteen years ago. Ho specially mentioned ids campaign for an increase of the cun'ency fourteen years ago , but did not explain that his financial theory on which ho had such a following in Custer county was based wholly on the inflation of sliver " 1C to 1. " In his plea for restoring democ racy to political power for the pub- lie Icro'lt , he did not mention the t , lit iliiuiiclal and industrial crisis and destitution during the last administration of the democrats nor did lie assure his hearers that the policy of the party would be any different than then. In fact he im plied that it would not , as his bur den of complaint was the Payne- Aldrich tariff law under which the people are enjoying the greatest prosperity in the history of the gov ernment. Ho urged that democrat candidates for congress should be elected as they would revise the tariff down ward. IIo might have added down ward for revenue only , free trade , which would be followed if not pro ceeded by such a panic as this gen eration has not seen only under Grover Cleveland's last adminis tration when both houses of"cion - gress and the executive were demo cratic. The third and concluding portion of his address was for county option and against .Dahlman for governor. Ho charged 'that Dahlmnn was not the nominee of a majority of the domocart party and that he was run ning on an individual platform not sanctioned by the democrat party and that no democrat was under ob ligation to support him. The last portion of his speech was frequently applauded. He still has his happy way of expressing himself and his large audience was well entertained if not agreeably enlight ened. Tnylor off on the Wrong Foot W. J. Taylor Is sending broad cast overthe county cards on which ho Jias printed his declaration of prin ciples for which ho will stand if elected to congress , Among the long list is his declaration that ho will have the amount of improve ments required on a G-iO acre home stead reduced from $800 to $200. That is just what about 90 per cent of the Klnkaid homesteaders do not want. Two years ago Cno- grcssman Kinkald Introduced a bill to reduce the required amount of improvements from $1.25 an acre to 10 cents an acre. Such a flood of protests went In from the home steaders ho did not push the bill. The man who resides'on his land and Improves it with the view of making it a homo wants neighbors Ho does not want some shiftless fol low to stop In his community flvo years on a claim without doing any thing to enhance the value of the country. Such claims would bo for sale to the rancher the next day af ter ho got his final certificate for about government price to the dor- trlmcnt of the community'and the price of land in the community. As the percent of that class of homesteaders Is small Mr. Tnylor will not gain any votes on that prep osltion. Halloween wasqulet for this place This is due probably to the fact that extra vlgllenco was exorcised by the city officers and all attempts at mar auding promptly nipped in Infancy. Officers Towsely and Draper suc ceeded in gathering in four young gentlemen whoso tendencies were tor roving and suspended them In the bird cage for several hours , afto the early morning breezes had thor-l oughly cooled their ardor and a com fortable 11 ro nldo looked btltoi to them than anything else , tin- doors were unlocked and they woio void to hit for homo. The young inon , stood not upon the orders of going j I but went at once , and the balance of the night was free from dls ' turbanccs. No damage was reported outside of the ovcrturnlnfg of a few out-buildings. A report reached hero Monday night that Thcdford was being de stroyed by fire. Operator Ed Pow ell at that place telegraphed to Brok en Bow that the fire was entering the town and ho was ready to move his household goods at a minutes notice. But later on the flames were subdued and the damage was not near so great as at first roport- ( > il.

U. of the Baptis't church gave a Hall oween social at the homo of JJudgo Armour last Friday night. A splen- ulld time is reoported. A still alarm of flro was.sent Into the club rooms Monday afternoon with the information that smoke could be seen in the southeast portion tion of the fair grounds. Messrs. Orr and Lomax boarded an auto , and hastily repaired to the spot who they found several sections of the fence burning fiercely. They were just In time , because a few minutes more would have placed the fire within the danger zone where it would probably have gotten beyond I control and done aot of damage. | As it was.tho flames were quickly , subdued without a second call for assistance being necessary.
