: i i fA Great Victory.
iI \I : " The republican party in Gage
!
county has been going through
! ' bout the same experience as has
- the party in this county. On ' last
Saturday primaries were held
\ there and the result was a crush-
k jug i defeat for thc bolters and renegades -
t cgades and the triumph of true
. .
t r ' r pu blicanism. Commenting on
! this victory the Beatrice Express
I says :
) \ 'l'he result of the republican
, i ,1- " " . primaries is an excellent example
1 , . ' 1lr of what the people can do when
\ they ) become thoroughly aroused
l ' . to the existing conditions and be-
I . gin to realize their meaning.
" You can't fool all the people all
I , " the time. " 'Vhile we boast of
our free American institution and
' , t .
the fact that every man is a sov-
t .
I r
, . -
_ .
; a
ercign , yet the fact is that we arc
usually so engrossed witlm , . our personal -
sonal matters that we pay but
little 1 attention to public miLtters.
The result is that matters of the
most vital i importance are allow&l
1- '
to go by default or fall into the
hands 'of men more interested in
their personal schemes than in
the prosperity of the city or
county. Nevertheless the people
will stand about so much Rndno
more. When the limit is reached
the bonds are broken and the
men who have allowed themselves
to be imposed upon and deceived
rise in their wrath and make
things right.
This is what happened in Gage
county last Saturday. The republicans -
publicans of the county have been
so occupied in gathering in their
share of the republican prosperity
that they have paid but little attention -
tention to party business. A ring
of self-seeking , scheming politi-
cians , most of whom were demo-
'crats , laid their plans to capture
the republican party and hold it
as a captive. By devious ways
and crooked paths they had led
many of the voters of the county
away from the straight and nar-
row road to patriotic republican- :
ism. They had become so strong
as to become defiant , but the long
suffering voters at last became
aroused to the situation ' and you
know the result. It must not
stop at this. The republican
party must be controlled by the
rank and ' file of the republican
voters. Men who have professed
the democratic faith , arc welcome
in the republican ranks , if they
become converted , but the people
of Gage county are now and ever
will be opposed to any attempt of
democratic politicians to control
the old republican party. 'chat
is what the landslide of Saturday
means

to $4.25 with scattering sales up
to 54.50. The decline on beef
steers , when n\arly.everyone has
been expecting an advance , scared
off many buyers of fleshy feeders.
rhe receipts today are 6,000liead
but a liberal Iun at Chicago and
10 cents lower prices there makes
the market slow here. Beef steers
arc plentiful and prices barely
steady with close of last week.
Cows and butcher stuff arc scarce
and steady. Stockers and feeders
are steady as the spring like
weather always benefits this trade
at this season. < .
Hog receipts at Kansas City
last week were 34OYlabout 6,000
more than previous week , but
2,000 less than same week last
year After Tuesday the prices
were lower each day , the week
closed with a net loss of 20 cents
Market is lower again H > -day and
and the best price is $5.15. with
bulk of sales at $4.96 to $5.10.
Light hogs sell relatively better
than they did two weeks ago. Depression -
pression in provision market and
lack of support ' is given as a reas-
on for continued lower prices
for hogs , ,
Sheep receipts last' week were ,
23,734 , practically the same as
previous week ; also same as cor-
respon ding week last year.
Lambs made up large majority of
receipts , and were mostly common
quality , Best lambs and yearlings -
ings sold steady , but the common
lambs were 15 to 25. . cents lower.
Ewes and wethers gainell0 : to 15
cents during the week , owing to
scarcity. Run today is 7,000
and the market is strong on everything -
erything except medium to common -
mon lambs which arq very steady.
The largest bunch of fed cattle
sold here today was marketed by
J. S. Snethen of Hum oldt , Neb. ,
consisting of fortr carloads of
shortfed steers that brought 54.40.
