The county fair premium lists are out. They
are the easily-recognized product of Samuel
Randolph's smithy a typographic nightmare
with delerium tremens illumination. The
children cry for them ; young maidens go into
hysteria over them ; strong men faint at their
appearance , and job printers are moved with
a well-nigh irresistible impulse to boxercide
the blacksmith responsible for the monstros
ity. And yet Colonel Leather-Lungs bears
eloquent tribute to their artistic execution.
Roderick Dim Sutherland , who by grace of
the sadly mistaken judgment of the good people
ple of this district , is now rattling around in a
seat in congress , addressed the people of this
place and vicinity , last Saturday afternoon ,
on the "living issues of the day" as the bills
announced.
After ringing in his usual assoitment of
"warming up" jokes of ancient vintage , he
still further digressed from the "living issues
of the day" by attempting to disparage and
discredit a special telegram that recently ap
peared in the Nebraska dailies regarding the
splendid yield of wheat on the farm of Farmer
Morlan , the Republican nominee , and who
will be the next congressman from the Fifth
Nebraska district. Roderick Dhu , like the
typical anti-everything that he is , didn't be
lieve it even the absolutely unanswerable
wheat-in-the-bin argument is no trouble to
him ; he was the head-push and exclusive promoter
meter of a campaign of pure and undefiled
"principle , " and would give the Republicans
of the Fifth district enough of the "warming-
pan" should he be renominated , being utterly
blinded to the pathetic fact that the longsuffering
fering people of the district have already had
more than enough of the "warming-pan" al
ready.
He took an apologetic snap-shot at free
and unlimited coinage of silver , 16 to I , and
then passed on hastily to a description of W.
J. Bryan's superb and unyielding "steel"
spinal column. It is marvelous how these 16
to i-ers now despise the step by which they
were dragged from obscurity into the bright
white light of publicity and the allurements
of the public teat ! The touch-stone of free
silver seems to have lost its saving power ;
and they are more than ready to drop the
contention.
But anti-militarism and anti-imperialism ,
something , anything with anti in it , he rolled
over in his mouth like a sweet and juicy
morsel ; charging Republican departure from
the ways of the immortal Lincoln and paying
a tribute to his ideal the volunteer army.
We believe , however , that he made no ex
tended remarks ( tossed no bouquets ) con
cerning Colonel Bryan's brief but brlliant
volunteer service. Then he waxed fearful
that our conditions might make necessary a
standing army of 100,000 men , and agonized
over the expense account. Here is where the
average Fusion orator shines ! Here is where
he refers to the great common people , the
down-trodden masses ! Here is where pathet
ically and with tearful detail he loves to dwell
upon , who pays the'freight ? Here Roderick
Dhu was in his glory in the highest ! Oh ,
my countrymen !
Perhaps half of the address was devoted to
remarks concerning the administration's treat
ment of the Porto Ricans. He spoke of the
recommended 25 per cent tariff , but evidently
forgot the passed tariff of considerably lower
percentage ; playing the demagogue by leav
ing the false impression of the higher tariff
being ruthlessly imposed on a starving pee
ple. He failed to mention the generous aid
extended by the administration. This "crime"
he charged to the sugar and tobacco trusts ,
and "proved" by the constitution that any
tariff is unconstitutional between different
sections of the United States. Observe , gentle
reader , what lovers of the constitution are
some of the lawyer-politicians of the Fusion
ranks. It's a strong suit with them in fooling
the people some of the time.
Then he touched the harp lightly on the
terrible , man-eating trust question. He did
not mention the Tammany ice trust , but
thought the fact that six billion dollars worth
of industrial stock had entered such combina
tions during the past three years "looked sus
picious , " and while the evidence would not
hang , it warranted "ten dollars and costs. "
( Observe the conspicuous effort to play to the
gallery. )
In closing he made several admissions and
statements quite overcoming for innate mod
esty : He didn't have time to point out "All
the iniquity of our Republican friends he
could talk two weeks on the subject. " .He
certainly has the two qualifications leather
lungs , and lies. "We are , " he admitted be
tween blushes , "noted above all things else
for our honesty. " "I would not , " he modest
ly agreed with himself , "if I could , and coujd
not if I would , make any mis-statements in
your hearing. " Another Daniel come to judg
ment , surely ! And again , "For myself , I am
not a farmer , but a lawyer. " Not a farmer ,
but a farmer of the farmers. The record in
the case is that Roderick Dim is a politician
first and a lawyer incidentally ; a politician of
the "warming-pan" kiss-the babies , how-do-
you-do sort. Pretends to know everybody in
a crowd of absolute strangers , and shakes
hands promiscuously , simulating a great in
terest in the family and crops , and all that
sort of peanut politics. It remains to be seen
whether he can fool a majority of the people
of the Fifth district even a third time. We
think not.
After many intricate experiments , scientists
.have discovered methods for obtaining all the
natural digestants. These have been com
bined in the proportion found in the human
body and united with substances that build
up the digestive organs , making a compound
called Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It digests
what you eat and allows all dyspeptics to eat
plenty of nourishing food while the stomach
troubles are being radically cured by the
medicinal agents it contains. It is pleasant
to take and will give quick relief. D. W.
Loar.
The law holds both maker and circulator
of a counterfeit equally guilty. The dealer
who sells you a dangerous counterfeit of De-
Witt's Witch Hazel Salve risks 'your life to
make a little larger profit. You can not trust
him. DeWitt's is the only genuine and orig
inal Witch Hazel Salve , a well known cure
for piles and all skin diseases. See that your
dealer gives you DeWitt's Salve. D. W.

Wm. Relph was threshing the wheat on his
Kansas farm , Wednesday and Thursday. It

The Banksville ball club visited Herndon ,
Kansas , last Sunday , and came home victor

Last Tuesday was reported to be the hottest

thermometer on the shady side of the house.
Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Relph and family were
among those who attended the surprise party
at F. S. Lofton's , Tuesday night , the occasion
being his 34th birthday. About fifty guests
were present. Ice cream and cake were
served.
A gentleman recently cured of dyspepsia
gave the following appropriate rendering of
Burns' famous blessing : "Some have meat
and can not eat , and some have none that
want it ; but we have meat and we can eat ,
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure be thanked. " This
preparation will digest what you eat. It con
stantly relieves and radically cures indigestion
and all stomach disorders. D. W. Loar.
Constipation , impaired digestion and a tor

arouses the liver to normal activity. Price ,

A BLIND MAN
Is one who fails to profit by experience , even though he has use of both eyes without the aid of
glasses. Time and again people buy clothing that is half made and containing mostly "Shoddy
and Flock. " Remember that three years among you has taught you that we carry no satinet
goods in the house ; what you buy of us is reliable and made by the best equipped factories in the
in the country. Our prices are the lowest named for good goods ; we carry no other.
