SENATOR LODGE made an able speech
out lining his views of this government's
dut } ' toward the Filipinos ami highly en
dorsing the policy of the administration.
He truly said that Mr. McKinley's "own
policy and his own acts in the east are
his all-sufficient defense , both now and
in history. "
FOR the week ending March 12 , 1898 ,
Chicago made a new record , having ship
ped by rail 158,232 tons of freight. This
was while the Letter wheat shipments
were in progress. This record was brok
en during the last week in February ,
1900 , when the freight shipments by rail
amounted to 2I23I2 tons.
THE average farm value of corn in
1894-1896 was 24.6 cents per bushel.
Last year , when the crop was 195,600-
ooo bushels larger , the average price was
30.3 cents per bushel on the farm. Dur
ing McKinley's prosperity there has been
a greater demand for this leading prod
uct of the farmers and at much better
prices. _ _ _ _ _ - _
NOT a single failure was recorded , last
month , among the manufacturers of
iron , cotton goods or hats. There were
only five failures among the earthen
ware , brick and glass manufacturers ;
and in woolen and leather manufactures
they were smaller than in any other year
except one. And still the Democrats are
not happy.
IT is recorded that a fanner in Fulton
county , Ohio , recently sold 125 head of
sheep for $800 , being an average of $6 40
per head. The farmers there say that
under the Wilson free trade period , that
number of sheep would not have brought
to exceed $125 , and that the owner would
have had to look around a long while for
a purchaser at any price.
"FREE bread funds for the poor" seem
to have passed away with Coxey's army.
It was in 1894 , under a Democratic low
tariff , that the lamp-posts in New York's
streets were decorated with such signs
and with contribution boxes to receive
the funds. At the same time the great
New York Democratic dailies were col
lecting free clothes for the men who
were unemployed under free trade.
SECRETARY WILSON of the depart
ment of agriculture is credited by the
senate committee on manufactures with
much interest and energy in endeavor
ing to expose the adulteration of articles
of food and drink that are too frequently
foisted upon the American people. But
these are not all American goods , the
committee finding "that large amounts
of imported goods are sold in this coun
try , the sale of which w < juld be prohib
ited in the country from which they
come.- "

REDWILLOW.
Our old neighbors , the Bakers , have all de
parted for Washington , except Mrs. Baker
and Millie. They will remain in McCook un
til Miss Millie graduates. It was so short a
time until that important event would occur ,
that Mrs. Baker secured a room in McCook ,
where they could stay till the close of the
school term , when they will join the rest of
the family in Washington. We regret the
loss of a good neighbor.
On Wednesday morning , William Byfield
and wife , Clyde Lutes and Miss Edith Van-
derwort set out for McCook on very import
ant business. On rearching the great city , the
two gentlemen went at once to the court
house ; after which it was announced that Kev.
Turner was waiting to finish the business , so
the quartet repaired to that gentleman's house
where he , in an impressive manner , proceeded
to make the young couple one. It was a quiet
little wedding , but the young couple are just
as happy as if it had been more ceremonious.
Mrs. Lutes will spend a couple of weeks with
Mrs. Byfield while her young husband builds
a new home. He has been in the employ of
\Vm. Byfield for the last two years , and the
same roof has sheltered his wife for half ol
that time. This year he will stay on as a ten
ant. The acquaintance of the young couple
lias not been brief , and it is with the good
wishes of many friends that they enter upon
their new life.
On Sunday , Ida Canaga and John M. Miles
were joined in holy wedlock by Rev. J. W.
Walker. The wedding took place at the
home of the bride. The guests were the boys
and girls who had grown up here with Miss
Ida her schoolmates and iellow-members in
the Christian Endeavor , where she was ever
an active member. Mr. Miles was unknown
to many of us , being a resident of Elwood ,
whither he takes his bride to the home he has
for some time had in readiness. Most of the
guests had some token of love for the bride to
take into her new home. Below we give a
list of these tokens : Mr. and Mrs. Elias Ca
naga , set silver knives ; Nellie Canaga , set
silver teaspoons ; Mr. and Mrs. Maynard
Loomis , pair large pillows ; Longnecker boys ,
tureen ; Katie and Gabrielle Longnecker , meat

Banker Routs a Robber.
J. R. Garrison , cashier of the bank of
Thornville , Ohio , has been robbed of health
by a serious lung trouble until he tried Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption.
Then he wrote : "It is the best medicine I ever
used for a severe cold or a bad case of lung
trouble. I always keep a bottle on hand. "
