Do YOU want to s > wap horses while
crossing prosperity's stream ?
You voted for prosperity and got Jt.
Will you now vole against it ?
REMEMBER that in voting tor candi
dates for the legislature you are voting
for United States senator.
TIIK Democratic idea seems to be that
it is more blessed to abuse than to be
abused , and it is much more easy.
REPUBLICANS must not forget , in
their enthusiasm for the national ticket ,
to look out for our candidate for con
gress. Vote for Morlan.
THEY seem to have more work than
workers down in York county. The
postmaster received a postal card , the
other day , offering to pay three cents a
bushel to men who will come and husk
corn.
IN his debate with Editor Hitchcock ,
Editor Rosewater has proven himself to
be a master of logic , reasoning and facts ,
aiid short on the tricks and effervescence
of oratory. His appeals have been to
reason and not to passion or prejudice.
THE Republican state ticket has
strong and real claims on the voters of
Nebraska. Each and all are successful
and honorable businessmen , capable
and qualified to administer the affairs of
the state efficiently , economically and
with credit.
W. R. STARR points with satisfaction
to his administration of the affairs of the
office of county attorney and seeks a re
election at the hands of the voters of
Red Willow county on the record made ,
and on the ground of his recognized
ability to discharge the duties of the
prosecuting attorney-ship.
A VOTE for Webster S. Morlan will be
a ballot for an honest , conscientious ,
honorable , able , energetic and depend
able congressman for the Fifth district ,
and will be in the interest of good gov
ernment and for the best and highest
good of all classes in this district. His
ability and worthfulness are his strong
est claims upon your vote.
THE defection of the Hastings Repub
lican should not be taken seriously and
will not be so taken by those acquainted
with the traditions of the family. The
Watkins brothers have never been safely'
considered Republicans , but have been ,
on the other hand , connected with the
opposition press for years. They are
now but sailing under their proper
colors.
JUDGE L. C. WHITNEY of Washing
ton , a life-long Democrat , announces his
change to Republicanism. He has been
getting dissatisfied with Democracy for
some time , but could stand it no longer
when his party called on him to "see in
a simple citizen of Canton , Ohio , a
crowned and sceptered emperor , drag
ging at his chariot wheels the patriot
Aguinaldo and the dusky females of his
household. "
THE Grand Island Democrat is overly
solicitious concerning the election of our
friend Shallenberger. So much so that
it makes charges against W. S. Morlan
that even Mr. Shallenberger would not
sanction. * * The Democrat insists
that Red Willow county is being colon
ized for the express purpose of assisting
W. S. Morlan. How the Democrat , 150
miles away , can learn such important
matters , when v\e fellows right on the
ground fail to know it , is a mystery.
The Populist county central committee is
located at McCook and they are watch
ing every move of such a nature , but be
it said to Mr. Morlan's credit that they
have discovered no such move. The
Democrat contends that the section
forces are being filled up to an expansion
capacity , but the fact remains that at
this place where the section boss has
had orders for eight men all fall only
four are working and they are employed
irrespective of party affiliations. We
havn't any desire to criticise the Demo
crat for trying to secure the election of
Mr. Shallenberger , but let it be done
without misrepresentation of the "other
fellow. " Mr. Morlan and the editor of
this paper honestly differ politically.
He is a candidate for a great office , we
are the editor of a one-horse paper is
there any reason why we should malign
and slander Mr. Morlan because we can
not agree ? Not a bit of it , and we de
test the publisher of any reform paper
that does resort to such politics. Bart- '
ley Inter-Ocean ( Populist ) .

I Next Congressman Fifth District
WEBSTER S. MORLAN of McCook.
W. S. Morlan. the Republican candidate for congress in the Fifth Ne
braska district , --tarted right in life by being born in Ohio , ntar Bncyrus ,
in Crawford county This rvent took place uti April 17 , 1849 His parents
were Quakers , hifathtr lil'iny the soil for a luelihool. Four years
after the birth of } oung Moilnn the family moved to Cedar county , Iowa ,
where they remained for two or three years , when they located on a farm
west of Marietta , Marshall count } ' , Iowa
The early education ofV. . S. Morlanvas secured in the district school ,
which was supplemented by his attendance upon the Iowa Lutheran col
lege during the years from 1864 to 1866 Coming to Nebraska in 1869 , his
first work was as a laborer on tht * Burlington roa < ibtl l between Platts-
mouth and where Pacific Junction , Iowa , is now located He spent the
month of June holding scrapers , but when the harvest time arrived he re
turned to the harvest field. In 1870 he taught summer --chool in the 8113-
der district in Cass county , and in 1871 taught winter school in Louisville ,
Cass county. He commenced the practice of law in Crete Saline county ,
moving from there to Lowell , Kearney county , where he lived until he re
moved to Arapahoe , Furnas county , in 1874 After 18 years residence in
Arapahoe he moved to McCook , Red Willow countxvhere 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 Burlington railroad since 1888 Of sturdy , honest
and industrious lineage , absolute integrity and boundless industry have
characterized his whole life , bringing him into the highest repute with his
fellow men , and winning him the largest success in his professional
career.
career.With
With such facts before them it was but natural , and exhibited the very
good judgment of the Republicans of the Fifth district , that in looking
about for a man to represent them in the great political contest , this year ,
they should unanimously settle upon W. S. Morlan , who by birth , experi
ence and sympathy is better endowed than any other man in the district
to represent all classes in the national legislature. Sunday's Omaha Bee. <

A Wider American Outlook.
Domestic affairs will cease to be.re-
jarded as alone deserving the serious
ittention of Americans generally , who ,
n their characters , interests and syuipa-
hies , cannot fail to respond to the mo-
nentous change which has come to the
lation at large. Such a change will
mport no decline of patriotism , no les-
iening of the loyalty justly expected of
: very man to the country of his nativity
> r adoption. By Richard Olney.
CONTROL of the next congress by the
Republicans is very important. See to
t that your ballot is cast in the right
vay to help elect a Republican congress-
nan and a Republican senator. Re-
nember , too , that unexpected vacancies
n the senate may happen at any time ,
o be 611ed by action of the governor or
tate legislature , if in session.
THE way the Republicans are en-
reaching upon Mr. Bryan's Nebraska
'preserve" must be anything but reas-
uring to the colonel.
Duty Determines Destiny.
"Duty determines destiny. Destiny
which lesults from duty performed may
bring anxiety and perils , but never fail
ure and dishonor. Pursuing duty may
not always lead by smooth paths. An
other course may look , easier and more
attractive , but pursuing duty for duty's
sake is always sure and safe and honor
able. " William McKinley.
Where Destiny Leads.
We have one flag and one destiny , and
wherever that destiny shall lead us we
will have hearts strong enough to meet
its responsibilities. President McKin-
ley's speech at the Merchant's exchange ,
St. Louis , Missouri , October 4 , 1898.
THE voters of the Fifth district have
the satisfaction of knowing that when
they cast a vote for W. S. Morlan , they
are voting for a man of fixed principles
not an accommodating politician , an
anything to get there. His past record
fully guarantees his future worth to his
constituents and the people of the dis
trict can honor themselves by electing a
man , a peer of any who sit in legislative
balls , and who will attend to the business
of the people , instead of scheming for
personal preferment. Vote for Morlan
for congressman. Curtis Courier.
MR. MORLAN has never found it nec
essary to fool the people concerning his
business. On the contrary he is proud
of his profession. But Mr. Shallenber
ger seems to have reached the conclusion
that the name of a Populist candidate
for congress does not look well in the
advertisement of his bank. Beaver Val
ley Tribune.
The Legislative Ticket.
The Republicans of the agth district
are especially fortunate in the excellence
of the nominees on the legislative ticket ,
this fall , and are in good shape to give
the ticket their full and hearty support
and no part of this campaign is of
greater importance than the legislative
ticket.
E N.ALLEN ,
The nominee for state senator , and
our present senator , is so well known
over the district as to make any word of
praise unnecessary. He filled the duties
of his position with honor and credit ,
during the last session of the legislature ,
and there learned experience which will
he invaluable to him and to the people
of this district in the next session. He
is a safe , conservative , able business
man , and should be returned to the sen
ate , this fall , with an increased majority
if possible.
DR. J. E. HATHORN.
In this representative district , the 6sth
district , the people of Red Willow county
are to be congratulated upon their nom
inee , Dr. J. E. Hathorn of Bartley , the
present member of the lower house.
The doctor is an old soldier , an able
physician and an honored citizen. He
made an efficient , dependable and honor
able member of the last legislature , and
with his added experience , is in position
to give the people of this county better
and more service in the next session.
His decisive plurality of two years since
will doubtless be increased at the coming
election. He is worthy and honest and
able.
able.And
And the rest of the counties and rep
resentative districts composing the agth
senatorial district are just as happily
situated for splendid nominees as we are
in Red Willo'w county.
HON. G. M. UROWN.
Down in Furnas county they have as
their standard-bearer Hon. C. M. Brown
of Cambridge , one of the cleanest and
ablest men in this section of Nebraska.
He will be a high credit to that county
and will be able to render them the
highest and most valuable service in the
legislature.
DR. J. A. ANDREWS.
Dr. J. A."Andrews of the 66th district ,
composed of Frontier and Gosper coun
ties , is another man for the place. He
has fine ability and will be able to give
a good account of himself in the legisla
ture.
J. W. GULL.
Up in the 67th district , formed by
Hitchcock , Dundy , Hayes and Chase
counties , J. W. Gull of Hayes Center is
the nominee of the Republican party
He is highly spoken of as an energetic
and conscientious and honorable busi
ness man , well qualified to perform the
duties of that office. He is being sup
ported in a manner indicative of the
high estimate of his ability and character
placed upon him by the people of his
district.
In fine the entire senatorial district is
in splendid shape to make a successfu
campaign and to win out at the coming I
election. All that remains is for the
Republicans and all others interested jn
sending and keeping competent men In
office , the highly important office of leg
islators , to do their duty at the polls.

depends upon how and

people devote great energy
in getting the dollar and
then spend it like children
without proper judgment or
effort to obtain its worth.
The most successful scheme
to deter them from proper

son of values is to get them to start an account. The rest is easy.
Our trade runs a little differently from that. Our customers are
under no obligations of any kind to us. They all come prepared
to pay for what they may select , knowing and appreciating our
plan of cash dealing. They buy No Single Item because we are
for-bearing. on an account with them. Everything has to come
right up to the scratch for style , fit , finish and solid value. If
bought it's paid for and not owed for. We believe our goods give
better satisfaction and also greater pleasure than goods that are
owed for.
