NUMBER 24 flfl m& = = , _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ IMA A Disappointment. ll\ ' \ The long and eagerly anticipated Bryan ivj J\ xaeeting of last Saturday is now a matter % i\ [ \ * ° f local history. In some respects it was | /l\\l \ .a success and in others a disappointment : M\\ The crowd was large , but lacking in en- fcflll thusiasm , and was in no small measure V * \ \ -made up of Republicans who were anx- 1 liul * ous * ° ear Nebraska's famous orator. , l Uy The speech itsell was a disappointment If U -to many. The speaker lacked fire and | $ } /r failed to inspire his numerous hearing. Vu\ ( Mr. Bryan -was clearly out of condition , * il D was in bad voice , and outside of his ad- > W\ { aniring bimetallic compatriots did not rqh ) succeed in interesting or holding the mJ } dose attention of his audience. There | * u// was no attempt at anything new or start- V/m / ling in the speech , familiar ground be- vi \ \ \ ing covered exclusively. National issues , SJi • . * > the tariff and money questions , were dis cussed at some length , and the Populist state administration was given quite a -vigorous boost. To the Fusionists the arguments advanced and statements of fered were as holy writ , while to the Re publicans they were mere sophistries , illogical and faulty as to fact. It is im probable that many , if any , votes were • changed by the speech ; which in no way measured up to the fame of the speaker and lacked the hearty applause usually -accorded his uttertances. At the conclusion of the address Mr. JBryaa left in a special train for Trenton , • where he again spoke that afternoon. The Curtis band and quite a number of individuals accompanied him. William Vincent of the Nonconformist addressed the people at some length be fore the arrival of the speaker of the • day. He is a vigorous speaker at all • events. Some of the merchants report a better Srade than on show-day. The crowd was orderly , if the demand 5br wet goods was brisk nil day. The lunch served by the Endeavorers was quite profitably patronized. The Brigade band of our city was an attractive feature of the occasion. Mr. Bryan was the guest of A. J. Clute • during Iris brief sojourn in the city. Populists and Silver Democrats were attracted hither from all over this section • of the state. The decorations were rather meager , Smt fern making any effort in that direc- . - The people seem to be feeling too well satisfied with the better conditions to toke a very enthusiastic interest in poli ces just now. The Republicans opened and main tained headquarters in the Phillips build ing , firing the day , to acquaint all vis iting Republicans with the nominees of the party. The Lake City band of Curtis headed a large delegation from Frontier county. They went up to Trenton on the special in the afternoon , and on their return in the evening played a number of selections on our streets with warm public ap- A Severe Storm. Ivigorous I This section was visited by a heavy rain , Monday night , about three inches -of water falling up to noon , Tuesday. Shortly after noon the rain turned into snow as the thermometer fell and with "the gale prevailing the storm took on < quite the appearance and discomfort of a blizzard. The snowfall was not heavy , but the wind prevailed all Tuesday night. It was quite a typical early winter storm , and to those unprepared for winter's first chilly touch , its discomfort bordered on Removal Sale. S. M. Cochran & Co. are selling all lines of goods at a great sacrifice prepa ratory to moving into their new location in the A. O. TJ. W. temple building. In • order to reduce their large stock and save cost of removal , all their goods have been marked down accordingly. You can buy anything in their line until they move at unheard-of prices. This is a genuine removal sale , no fake. Attention , c E. Societies. The I2th district convention will be held in Culbertson , November 6-7.

Mr. Pickens is a practical farmer , having an irrigated farm near McCook , in Red Willow coun ty. He has just finished cutting the fifth crop of alfalfa from an irrigated field , this year , and thinks the October cut ting to be the best of the five. He says that down on the Republican , under irri gation , it is always possible to make five- cuttings of alfalfa each year. The first crop , cut early n June , will yield from a ton and a half to two tons per acre , and the cuttings made once a month there after will yield an average of a ton to the acre. Lincoln cor.
