Fortunes for the speculators are being made daily , and incidentally those farmers * hftt have held their wheat will profit by the advance. IT is claimed that the boom in the price of wheat is in nowise attributable to manipulation of the market but is due to the fact that the Russian crop is short 100,000,000 bushels , that the crop in India is almost a complete failure , and that output of Argentina and France is unusually small. Congressman Andrews is making a strong , winning , personal campaign in the Fifth district. His speeches are de void of cheap , rattle-box performance and are characterized by logical , thought ful words and cool , sensible thoughts on the issues of the campaign. The con gressman wears well , and is thrice wel come all over the district where he has made speeches. Earnest , clean and able , he is in form and position , with his ex perience to give the people of the district valuable and efficient service in the halls of congress. PLEASANT RIDGE. News is scarce this week. Frank Everist shipped four car loads of cattle , last week. James Harris is expected home , this week , on a visit to his family. Mrs. Frank Everist aud children vis ited Mrs. E. May Starbuck , Sunday. B. A. Lincoln visited his daughter , Mrs. Alma West of McCook , last week , and attended the murder trial. Thomas Harris and Clyde Starbuck at tended court , last Friday , and heard the closing remarks on the trial of Edward Lorenz. Mrs. Eliza G. Nettleton is teaching at the Everist school house and it seems a pity that there are so few children to at tend this good school. Your correspondent has received five letters and a bushel of verbal sympathy in to that never-to-be regard - - forgotten poetry. How glad we are that somebody feels sorry for us. GERVER. The weather is fine for this time of the ' year. * Mrs. N. J. Johnson is improving slowly after a couple of weeks' sickness. John Goodenberger and his brother Henry went down in the eastern part of the state for a load of apples. They started last Thursday morning. Last Wednesday night Prof. Valentine and C. N. Whittaker of McCook came out to the Pleasant Prairie school house and gave us a talk on protection. They had a large crowd of listeners , and to hear the glee club sing. The citizens of school district No. 35 in Gerver precinct met at the Pleasant Prairie school house and hoisted old glory to the breeze , with three cheers , appropriate speeches and songs. The teacher , Miss Nettie Cooley , thanked the donors in behalf of the school. This dis trict has the best school house in the the county outside the towns , and owes no bonds ; and old glory floating so it can be seen in two counties and two states. INDIANOLA. J. J. Lamborn and G. S. Hill were Mc Cook visitors , Wednesday. E. E. Smith of Bartley is feeding 200 head of cattle for Clay , Robinson & Co. , the well cnown commission men. Mrs. Charles O'Brien and children came down from McCook , Tuesday even ing , on a short visit to Mrs. Lany Mc- Entee. J. A. Sheridan drifted up to the seat of county affairs , Monday , to talk over mat- ters.political with the boys at the court house. The Populists Will Rally. The Populists will sprea ? ! themselves on next Saturday , October 31st , for the final demonstration of the campaign. Congressman Bell of Colorado will be the principal speaker , and Judge Scott of Omaha and Mr. Shallenberger of Alma are also expected. There will be an all day affair , which will conclude with in the evening with a torchlight parade. The Amendments. "Voters will observe that separate bal lots will be used in voting for the amend ments to the state constitution , and that the entire number of amendments , may be voted for at once by placing an X in the prepared place at the top of the col umn. Don't neglect the amendments. They should carry. * . BARTLEY. A. Barnett of McCook was in town , Satur day. 'O. Frost returned from York , Friday , and spent Saturday and Sunday here , returning to York , Monday morning. S. W. Stilgebouer and wife of Danbury were the guests of their son , F , G. , Saturday , and attended the Andrews rally. Wm. F. Miller has been suffering with a very painful knuckle caused by a sand burn but is now rapidly improving. Alonzo Beaman died last Monday and the remains were taken near Lincoln for inter ment. Mr. Beaman was a respected citizen a veteran of the late war , and his demise is regretted by his acquaintances who join in sympathy to the bereaved family. Rev. W. A. Boucher stopped off and visited friends and was present at the Andrews rally , on his way to West Point where he has been stationed the coming year. His friends here hope he will be pleased with his charge as he is a faithful , earnest "worker in the churchand worthy a good location. J. Sentance of this place , who was struck with Palsy about two years ago , was again struck on Monday night , and his relatives and friends knew but a few hours that the end was coming , and he peacefully passed awayWed- nesday morning. The funeral services will take place , Thursday. Mr. Sentance was a good citizen , and bore his affliction with that patience which humbly awaits the call of the Master. He leaves a wife , one boy and three girls who have the sympathy of our entire community in this their sad affliction. Patrick McKillip spoke on the issues of the day in College Hall , Monday night , and while we differ widely from the views of Mr. Mc Killip we must say he has given some thought to the questions which interspersed with oratory tory and funny stories make him interesting to listen to. He spoke only of money and en deavored to answer and refute some of the propositions laid down by Mr. Andrews , but wholly ignored the Tariff , that bulwark of American industries , and paid a glowing tribute to Henry M. Teller of Coloradowhich , was duly applauded. He paid due compli ment to Bryan and spoke with an earnestness that shows he believes what he says , for which your correspondent gives him credit. Our Congressman , Hon. W. E. Andrews , was billed to speak in Bartley , on Monday last , and the crowd that greeted him must have been pleasing to the Congressman. Hon. Jno. J. Lamborn of Indianola presided and made a few well chosen remarks , after which he introduced our candidates for state senator , Allen , representative , R. P. High and County Attorney Keyes , each making a few remarks and fully appreciating the honor of having their names on the same ballot with McKin- Iey. The "little parson" was then introduced and immediately went into the business of the campaign. We shall not attempt to reproduce his argument , but he impressed his audience with his logical reasoning and sound argu ment of two facts , that Protection and Sound Money is the true doctrine and American principle. Fiat money , Free Trade , etc. , will not start a factory or restore prosperity , but give us Protection and Sound Money and we will not only return to National prosperity but all classes of business will prosper. He was accompanied to Freedom by the Bartley glee club , who furnished music suited to the occasion , and a good meeting is reported. RED WILLOW. Albert Helm is at home for a season. William Byfield's babies have the whooping cough. There was a jolly dance at John Kummer " s. Tuesday evening. A. C. Black is off after potatoes. I Ie found a place where they could be bought for 25c. a bushel and that in exchange for help 111 digging ging- The Fritsch boys finished threshing William Byfield's alfalfa , Wednesday afternoon , and immediately pulled their machine up to Benj. Baker ' s , where they threshed on Thursday. Politics are above par in this vicinity. Three meetings in one week. The Republicans had one on Tuesday evening , with J. W. Dolan , J. J. Lamborn and others. The meeting was very interesting , the speakers distinguishing themselves for their sound arguments so flu ently put forth. Wednesday evening was in deed a treat , and if the speaker , Wm. Valen tine , did not convert many to the sound money cause , it was not for lack of eloquence or strong sense. That McCook glee club , what shall we say for them ? Their full rich voices so perfectly trained gave us such a treat as we country people do not enjoy every day The silver meeting ? Why they , the Popo- crats , have them every w eek and their argu ments have resulted in a cultivation of talent for home millinery. Some of our girls have succeeded in manufacturing some very pretty silver caps , or silver party caps. ASH CREEK. Miss Hattie Burns spent Sunday at home. Miss Claia Bremer is again working in Mc Cook. I. E. Neal and wife spent Sunday with W. P. Burns and wife. Orrie and Leva Williams left Friday for a short visit with friends north of Bartley. J. H. Warfield sold and shipped some fine hogs to a Mr. Smith of Kirkwood , Illinois. Wednesday , W. D. Williams' team of colts ran away again , breaking his wagon some but doing no great damage. Martin Cample , a cousin of Mrs. J. 11. War- field , who has been visiting her , returned , Thursday , to his home in Creston , Iowa. Most of the fanners have been quite busy with the fair and did not go any place so there is not so very many items , this week. Orrie E. Williams took premiums on bread and cake baked from the Cambridge red lion flour , and also a premium on Duckworth's special. The Young Lady Uuiformed Marching club and the Boy McKinley Uniformed Martial band will go down to Bloomington - ton , tomorrow morning , to participate in a Republican rally. They will return on No. 3 , Saturday night. J MJ , w.h wawniii , . .

THEY GO ON RECORD Candidates of All Parties Favor Fraternal Beneficiary Societies. REPRESENTATIVE AND SENATORIAL Nominees Express Themselves In Favor of the Insurance Com panies of the People Unequivocally. McCook , Nebraska , Sept. 17th , 1896. Pursuant to a call to the members of the va rious Fraternal Beneficiary societies in Red Willow county , Nebraska , and to the candi dates for State Representative from this coun ty and the candidates for State Senator for this senatorial district , a number of represen tatives of the different lodges and several of the candidates met in the city of McCook , Nebraska , September 16th , 1S96 , for the pur pose of interviewing the different candidates and receiving their pledges that , if elected , to stand by and use all honorable means to pro tect the interests of the Fraternal Beneficiary societies and to oppose any attempt to hinder their work by adverse legislation. The meeting was called to order by II. W. Colewho briefly stated its object. J. II. Bays- ton of McCook was chosen as the Permanent Chairman and II. G. Bomeman of McCook as Secretary. The roll call being first in order the follow ing were found present : M. W. A. J. II. Bennett , E. E. Rowell.J.W. Hupp of McCook , I. M. Smith , Dennis Fitzgerald of Indianola , J. B. Cummings of Lebanon. A. O. U. W. J. H. Bayston , II. W. Cole of McCook , W. O. Bond of Indianola , W. V. Vickrey , J. E. Ila- thorn of BartleyW. Dowlerof Danbury. Star of Jupiter F. D. Burgess , Frank Harris , J. F. Forbes of McCook. Maccabees C. A. Leach of McCook. Home Forum II. G. Borneman , T. B. Campbell of McCook. Candidates present L.J. Holland for rep resentative , Populist ; R. P. High for represen tative , Republican. The candidates weie called upon to give their views : R. P. High pledged himself , that if elected , to do all in his power to aid and protect Fra ternal Beneficiary societies. While not a mem ber himself , he is in sympathy with all orders , and assured the meeting that his support can be counted upon. L. J. Holland , who is not ignorant of the in fluences that are brought to bear on represen tatives at Lincoln , assured the committee that although not a member of any society , he is in accord with Mutual Insurance companies , and pledged his support against old liners. L. M. Graham , Populist candidate for State Senator , sent greetings , and in a letter assured the meeting that he stood on the Populist plat form , and would use all efforts to advance the interests of Mutual Insurance. On motion of J. H. Bennett , a committee of five one member from each older represent ed was appointed by the chair to draft reso lution for candidates to sign. The committee : Dennis Fitzgerald , M. AAV. , Indianola ; Frank Harris , Star of Jupiter , McCook ; G.W. Leach , Maccabees , McCook : J. E. Ilathorn , A. O. U. W. , Bartley ; T. B. Campbell , Home Forum , McCook. Committee retired with instructions to report at once. The following resolution was presented and adopted , and signed as below. WllUREAt , The various fraternal Benefici ary societies extend to the homes of the hum ble the same protection , at a moderate cost , that is obtained in the Old Line Life Insur ance companies at a much greater expense ; A > * n Whereas , in Red Willow county alone nearly three millions ( $3,000,000.00) ) dollars of protection is afforded to the homes of the citi zens of the county by the Fraternal Beneficia ry societies ; It is TitEREtORE apparent to the electors of the county that an effort to strike down our Fraternities , or impair their usefulness , would have the effect of depriving the laboring man , the business man , and the farmer of his princ ipal means of protecting his family , should he meet with accident or death ; I THERErOKE Pledge , That if elected as a member of the legislature of the state of Neb raska , 1 will protect the interests of the Fra ternal Beneficiary associations , and also the interests of the Farmers' Mutual Fire Insur ance companies , and I will oppose with voice and vote any attempt to hinder their work by adverse legislation , and will champion their cause whenever the necessity shall arise. R. P. High , Republican. L. J. Holland. Populist. L. M. Graham , Populist. • E. N. Allen , Republican. The different delegates were asked to report to the lodges represented , the actions of this meeting. Delegates assembled thanked Candidates High and Holland for their presence and pledges. Secretary was instructed to furnish success ful candidates with copy of resolution , also to mail a copy after signed to the various frater nal papers and to the press of the county , to gether with a copy of these minutes , and a copy of minutes to all lodges represented. • II.W.Cole was made a committee of one to see that other candidates sign resolution. Organization was made permanent , and President and Secretary elect , asked to serve until adjournment of legislature. Meeting then adjourned , subject to call of President. J. II. Bayston , President. II. G. Borneman , Secretary. VAILTON. Supt. Carnahan called on our school , la t Monday. Alphonso McDonald has gone down east to gather corn. Scarcely any cold weather to report up to this writing. Mr. Simpson was short two blankets at Mc- Cook's last rally. There will be a general sigh of relief after November third , regardless of result. Mrs. W. F. Esher has been troubled with a swollen eye , but uo serious development. It seems to us that too much partisanship has become the bane of our political system , or in other words , a vote-controling system tending often to shut out legislation that would meet the wants and approval of the actual majority.

A coal stove was placed in the school house in district 58 , Monday. The murder trial attracted a number of citi zens to McCook , last week. Wesley Rozell and Shorty Smith are hustling around preparing for a long , hard winter. Preaching at the Coleman school house on next Sunday at eleven o'clock , fast time. A. F. Moore of McCook made a rattling speech at Coleman school , Monday evening. George Howell was over this way , Wednes day , to inspect new road work at the bridge. H. B. Wales and wife spent Friday night with their daughter Hattie on the Driftwood. Colonel C. J. Ryan's stately proportions were visible in this "neck o' woods" , Tuesday. W. G. Dutton and wife of the Driftwood made a brief visit with W. Coleman , Tuesday. A. Prentice took a load of wheat to mill on Saturday , and H. B.Wales took a load of corn to the Willow , Saturday. At the Bryan rally on Thursday night of last week there were just seven out , and three of them were Republican * . We heard it reported that Jacob Betz threw a club at a dog , the other day , and missed the dog but knocked over two candidates. M. II. Cole was billed to speak at the Cole man school house , Monday night , but his oratorical torical apparatus responded nit. j A young la ly up here fixes up , Sunday eve- ing , as she says , in compliance with the scrip tural injunction which says , "Be ye ready when the son of man cometh" . Uncle Billy carries the belt. He husked and cribbed four acres of corn , last Monday afternoon before sundown , and never raised a hair. He has just lifted his potatoes : he had three quart.nigh. . His pumpkin crop is O.K. Miss Eunice Goheen from south of McCook conducted the school at the Coleman school house , last week , and gave most excellent sat isfaction. She does thorough and systematic work and made many friends during her brief stay in the district. We have a large line Wall Paper at hard times prices. L. W. McConnell & Co. = - = T < lM BOX ELDER.
