THE Republicans of Furnas county
are open to hearty congratulations upon
their choice for representative. C. M.
Brown of Cambridge is one of the able ,
conservative and energetic men of the
upper valley , and will make Furuas
county a highly creditable and Sfficieut
representative as his election is doubt
less assured.
REPUBLICANS are laying the founda
tion for a winning legislative ticket ,
this fall , by naming men of known char
acter and ability in the various counties
and districts. The nomination of J. W.
Gull of Hayes county in the 67th dis
trict is in line with the general and pa
triotic purpose. Republicans should re
member the legislative tickets.
THE only thing the enemy could say
about Deacon Morlau , our candidate for
congress , was that he had merit enough
to cause the B. & . M. to hire him as an
attorney , but now the fusionists have
chosen as their candidate a banker , who
has chosen for his chairman , Stevens of
Hastings , the B. & . M. politician of that
place. Things are not as they were
years ago. Bloouiington Echo.
THE re-nomination of Hon. E. N.
Allen of Arapahoe , Furnas county , for
state senator , makes even an introduc
tion to the voters of the sgth senatorial
district unnecessary. His splendid and
successful campaign of two years since
and his record in the legislature are too
well known to leave any room for en
comiums from us. He made a safe and
useful and active senator , two years
since , and the people of this district will
not swap horses in mid-stream , this year
of grace and prosperity , 1900.
ISN'T it just a trifle inconsistent for
Pop editors to yell "railroad attorney"
at W. S. Morlan , when their own candi
date for congress is a bloody plutocrat-
banker who has named as his campaign
manager a B. & M. attorney of Hastings
in the person of Lawyer Stevens ? With
a banker candidate and railroad cam
paign manager our Fusion friends cer
tainly have no room to kick on the other
fellow. Think of this , you Pops , who
claim to be genuine reformers and then
go out behind the barn and kick your
selves. Arapahoe Mirror ( Dem. )
As A prophet , Mr. Bryan cannot be
considered a success by his warmest
supporters. For iustance , one of his
prophesies made four years ago : "If
McKinley and the Republican party are
successful and put in power for the nest
four years , wages will be decreased , hard
times will come upon us , and over the
land the price of wheat will go down
and the price of gold will go up ; mort
gages on our homes will be foreclosed
by the money lenders ; shops and facto
ries will close. We will export no goods
and we will import from foreign lauds
all the goods we use ; thus will ruin ,
want and mieery be with us. " Every
school child in America knows that the
conditions are just the reverse of this.
HERE is another prophesy , if j'ou
please , made more recently by Mr.
Bryan : "Today we are engaged in a con
troversy which will determine whether
we are to have a republic in which the
government derives its just powers from
the consent of the governed , or an em
pire in which brute force is the only rec
ognized source of power. When such
an issue is raised there can be only two
parties the party , whatever its name
may be , which believes in a republic ,
and a parly , whatever its name , which
1- " believes in an empire. " It is dollars to
I dough-nuts that the above guess will be
as far from the facts , in the light of the
next four years , as any of the poor
guesses made four years ago.
The "Little Hoosier" five-hole drill is
the machine with which to put your fall
\vheat in the stalks where it does the
best. Cochran & Co. , of course.

W. S. MORLAN , the Republican
inee for congress in the Fifth district ,
was born on a farm in Crawford county ,
Ohio , near Bucyrus , of Quaker parentage ,
on April igth , 1843. Six years later , he
moved with the family to Cedar county ,
Iowa , where they remained two or three
years ; moving from thence to a farm
west of Marietta , Marshall county , Iowa :
where he made his home until 1867. His
early education was secured in the dis >
trict school , which he attended in the
winter time ; this education was sup.
plemented by his attendance upon the
Iowa Lutheran college during the years
of 1864 , 1865 , 1866. Coming to Nebraska
in 1869 , his first work was on the road
bed between Plattsmouth and where
Pacific Junction , Iowa , is now located
He spent the month of June holding
scrapers ; but when the harvest time
arrived he returned to the harvest field.
In 1870 , he taught summer school in the
Snyder district in Cass county ; and in
1871 , winter school in Louisville , Cass
county. He commenced the practice ol
law in Crete , Saline county ; moving from
there to Lowell , Kearney county , where
he lived until his removal to Arapahoe ,
Furnas county , in 1874. After 18 years'
residence in Arapahoe , he moved to Mc
Cook , Red Willow county , where he has
since made his home. From 1883 to
1887 , while Judge Gaslin was on the
bench in the old Eighth district , he was
district attorney. He has been attorney
for the Western division of the Burling-
: on since 1888. Of sturdy , honest and
udustrious lineage , absolute integrity
and boundless industry have character
ized his whole life , bringing him into
the highest repute with his fellow-men
and winning him the largest success in
sis professional career. With such facts
before them , it was but natural , ( and
exhibited the very good judgment of the
Republicans of the Fifth district , ) that
the Republicans of the district , in look
ing about for a man to restore the dis
trict to the Republican column , should
unanimously settle upon W. S. Morlau ,
who by birth , experience , and sympathy
s better endowed than any other man
in the district to represent all classes
ably and honestly in the national legis
lature. A vote for him will be a vote for
good , safe , just government every time.
Morlan at Fitch School-House.
W. S. Morlau has consented to address
the voters of that section of the county
in the Fitch school-house , next Friday
night , September 28th , and the Repub
licans of that neighborhood are arrang
ing to make it the meeting of the cam
paign in that vicinity. It is expected to
have the drum corps in attendance and
may be a glee club. Quite a number
from the city have expressed a deter
mination to be present , and a great
meeting may be confidently expected.
Populist Mass Convention.
A mass Populist convention for the
2gth senatorial district of Nebraska is
icreby called to meet at McCook at ten
o'clock a. m. , on Tuesday , October gth ,
1900 , for the purpose of placing in uom-
nation a candidate to represent said
district in the state legislature.

Go Back East to Visit.
Much satisfaction is expressed by the
Burlington over the result of the first
"Home Visitors' " excursions over that
railroad. The rates were effective , yes
terday. Last evening , No.2 went through
Omaha for the east with twenty-six car
loads of passengers , in three sections.
No. 12 came later with twelve car-loads ,
and was made up in two sections out of
Pacific Junction. No. 6 went through ,
this morning , with ten car-loads. In
addition , heavy traffic was reported from
Nebraska through the Nebraska City
and St. Joseph gateways.
The next chance to go east as "Home
Visitors , " at one fare plus $2 , will be on
September 26 Omaha World-Herald ,

"Anxiety Monarch" Dies.
"Anxiety Monarch , " the famous head
of the Shadeland Park herd of Herefords -
fords , owned by W. N. Rogers , died on
Wednesday morning of this week. The
animal was in the Harvard wreck of
Sunday a week ago , while on the way
home from taking first premium at the
state fair , sustaining injuries of an in
ternal nature , which , despite ever } ' effort
put forth , resulted in his death. "Anx
iety Monarch" was doubtless one of the
finest "White-Faces" in America and
was valued very highly. The loss to
Mr. Rogers is heavy , and sympathy for
him is general.
