Even Bryan hasn’t the nerve
to predict that lie could make
times better; it is as far as he
dares go to assert that they
would continue as good. Don't
experiment.
Those who saw and heard Mr.
Taft last Thursday, have nothing
but the kindest nords tor him.
He not only look} iike a great
roan, but he in fact is great of
brain, physique and ability.
Ue is of presidential size.
Have you heard a man say
that lie wants a change in times
and Oprices? If so, the surest
way to get it is to vote for Bryan
If we wish to have the present
good times continued, the surest
guarantee is to vote for Judge
Taft.
There is not a word to be said
against any of the republican
candidates in this county. They
are worthy of the hearty sup
port of every republican voter.
Do not be deceived, but vote tor
ilie ticket which the people
noin milt'd.
U.ive you ever thought about
rt? iireai or.il«r» are uever elect
ed president, 'limui llii> over.
The people want a man for pi cs
ident who reflects over the great
issues before the people. They
want sound ideas and saue poli
cies. Many words are not proof
of wisdom.
*lhe candidate who wants the
fleoaite’s votes and is afraid to
trust them on oilier matters
whrrh concern them, acts as if
be has aot much confidence in
the voice of the people. Do you
know of any such men? Will
yon vote for candidates who are
tfcai&tQ,trust you?
Jt’iK' local democratic paper
says that the democrats showed
every courtesy to Judge Tatt
during his short stay at Palls
City as “suggested by Mr. Bry
an.” The Tribune thinks too
highly ot Richardson County
democrats to believe it required
a suggestion from any source
for them to be courteous to a
man whose patriotic service to
our common country in Rome,
the Phillipinee, Porto Rico,
Cuba and the Isthmus of Pan
ama makes the most splendid
record ol modern times.
The democratic platform prom.|
ises labor immunity from in-]
junctions and Bryan says such
promise settles the labor ques
tion!, The labor question is
solely a question of employment
and wages. What will it profit
labor to be illinium against in
junctions it it is out of a 10b?
The democratic platform prom
ises tly farmers to reduce tue
tarriff on beef. pork, horses,
corn, wheat and barley, and to
publish campaign contributions
before election. What the
farmer wants is a continuation
of the present prices lor farm
products. What will it profit
the farmer if he knows len days
before election who is paying
Bryan’s bills, if his corn,wheat,
beef and pork go down in price
tothescale that was obtained in
the good old democratic days?
The American farmer knows a
good thing when be sees it. and
the present is certainly a good
tiling for him.
Some laboring men in the
east are supporting Bryan be
cause the democratic platform
promises an immediate reduc
tion in the tarriff on the neces
saries of life. The democratic
speakers tells them that will
cheapen their Hour, beef and
pork. This is true, bui the=e
self same laboring men have
been able to pay higher prices
for Hour, beef and pork under
republican administrations.
Under the tariff framed by the
democratic party and written
in part by Bryan who was in
congress and on the ways and
means committee which wrote
the bill, laboring men by the
tens of thousands were fed at
charitable soup houses. How
ever, these laboring men are
voting for what they conceive
to be their best interest. Where
does the interest of the Nebras
ka farmer lie on the question of
cheaper Hour, beef and pork?
When you hear any man howl
ing against county option, mark
him down as a man who is afraid
ol the farmers. If he is not,
why does lie object to letting the
farmers vote? Those who favor
county option are willing to
trust the farmers. Those who
oppose it are afraid of their
vote and voice. Mr. Fanner,
how do youteel about it? if you
want a voice in this matter vote
lor tlie republican legislative
ticket. _
Neoraska never had a better
legislature than its last. They
redeemed every pledge made to
the voters ot Nebraska. They
passed more wholesome laws
than any legislature which Ne
braska has had in a generation.
Will you now turn down the re
publican candidates and elect a
democratic legislature after this
splendid record? Certainly not.
Vote for Cain, Hole jack, Zook
and Ward.
When a democrat tells you
that the high price for farm
products would continue even
if Bryan was elected, just bear
in mind that he is only offering
you his guess that his article
would be just as good. You
know what the republican party
is giving you. It is your know
ledge against his guess.
The democratic platform
promises a guarantee for de
posits. The republican party
promises your deposits and a
continuation ot the present
prosperity which is the best
guarantee possible.
The visit of Judge Taft to
Falls City was a source ot grati
fication to our people and the
splendid impression made by
him will find expression at the
polls this fall.
JUST SUPPOSE
Our democratic friends say
that the farmer will be as pros
perous under Bryan as he has
been under Roosevelt.
This is merely an assertion.
The farmer certainly never has
been prosperous under demo
cratic administrations, but—
suppose you used a certain kind
of cultivator, and suppose it
had given you splendid satis
faction, and suppose you wanted
another and the dealer told you
he couldn’t supply your wants
but could give you another
“just as good.”
Suppose, just suppose, that
the dealer across the street
could sell you the kind you
knew was good.
Don’t you suppose you would
buy the old reliable cultivator?
But suppose you had tried the
kind the dealer told you was
“just as good, ” and bad found
it to be inferior and of no use?
Don't you know you would
go across the street and buy the
good kind.
Suppose you apply the illus
tration to the political situa
tion.
Whera Are You?
The following letter line been
mailed to each of (tie legislative
candidates on the democratic tick
et, the past week, by a committee
from the county option league.
They feel that as the republican
candidates have already declared
them selves in favor of the move
ment, that the voter has a perfect
riuht to know where the opposi
tion stand. Here is the letter:
Dear .Sir:—At n meeting of the
Richardson (Co.) County Option
League held at Falls City, on the
5th lust., the undersigned were ap
pointed a committee to nscertam
how the several legislative candi
dates, who were not present at
said meeting to declare their po
sition upon the question of
county option; whether or not
they are for or against the passage
of a law popularly termed a“Coun
ty ()ption Law. ”
We were further instructed to
make this inquiry by letter. Flease
let us know us to your positiou on
the above question at your earliest
convenience by letter to the presi
dent of our organization, Mr. V.
G. Lyford, or by publication of
your reply in the local press to
which we hand a copy of this let
ter. Hoping that you are with us
in this matter aiul awaiting an
early reply, we are
Very Truly Yours,

Lost All in Fire
W. R. Cade returned the last
of the week from Osborne. Kas.,
bringing the news that his son,
Wm. Cade, had lost his home
and all its contents in a tire re
cently.
The fire occurred at about 10
o'clock p. m., and is supposed
to have started from a piece of
match which was dropped
while Mr. Cade was lighting a
lamp. Everything was con
sumed, some of the occupants
escaping with only their night
clothes. Miss Ethel Cade, who
was visiting her brother at the
time, lost all her clothes except
the suit she was wearing, and
about #150 worth of jewelry.
There was no insurance and
tiie loss is a heavy one to Mr.
Cade, who has the sympathy of
many friends in this city.
Are You
Sick?
Much sickness is due to
a weak nervous system.
Yours may be. If it is,
you cannot get well until
you restore nerve strength
Your nervous system is
nature’s power house; the
organs of your body get
their power from it. If
the power is not there, the
action of the organs is
weak, and disease (sick
ness) follows. Dr. Miles’
Nervine cures the sick
because it soothes the
irritated and tired nerves
and gives the system a
chance to recuperate.
Try it, and see if you do
not quickly feel its bene
ficial effect.
"I whs given up to die by a lead
ing doctor. Got one of Dr. Miles
books and found that Dr. Miles' Ner
vine fit my case. From the very first
dose I took I got better. I am better
now than I have Been for years, and
do all my own work on the farm.
That's what Dr. Miles' Nervine has
done for me, and I am glad to recom
mend It to others.”
JOHN JAMES. Riverton. Nebr.
Your druggist sells Dr. Miles’ Nerv
ine, and we authorize him to return
price of first bottle (only) if It falls
to benefit you.

CLUB NEWS
Information As To City Federation
of Women's Clubs
The idea of a City Federation,
was born in the Sorosis Club, anil
was so persistently talked up by
its president, that early last fall
the club authorized the president
to confer with the presidential
the other clubs, to sound their
feelings on the subject, and if
they deemed it advisable, to have
their clubs take action upon it —
Sorosis having already voted as a
body for a federation.
After much deliberating, and
much time having gone by, the
other clubs reported ready for a
City Federation. The Friends in
Council sending in their report,
followed by the Shakespeare
Club, and then the Woman’s Club.
Accordingly the president of
Sorosis called a meeting of all the
clubs to be held in the court house
which was put in order for the
delegation of women, and they
observed with amusement that
the cuspidores were unusually
bright on that occasion.
This was before Christmas, a
very busy time and a very dis
agreeable day, consequently there
were not enough ot the members
of each club in attendance to
form a quorum. As the meeting
adjourned indefinitely—Mrs. Ish
am Reavis making a motion that
the president of Sorosis (Mrs.
Charlotte M. Banks) who had
brought the movement thus far
should call another meeting
whenever the time seemed propi
tious.
In the early part of the new
year then the matter was brought
up again, and another meeting
called in accordance with the
motion above mentioned, and the
attendance at this meeting did
not warrant action: Still later
and early in the spring, a third
meeting was called, and held at
Mrs. Charles Hargrave's resi
dence, in which the results of
persistent effort were satisfactory;
culminating as they did in the
organization of a City Federation
of Women’s Clubs. The object of
which is, that the united clubs,
each member of each individual
club being a bonefide member of
the Federation, work together as
one body, for the betterment of
our city, morally, ethically and
educationally.
Matters ot individual clubs that
demand more attention than the
separate clubs can give it, can be
bought to the Federation to be
adjusted, and receive help.
It is not expected that the in
dividuality of a club shall be lost
* f
in the Federation, but each club
carry on its affairs according to
its rules and by-laws—and its
own social features, according to
its standing and custom; being
assured that the Federation is
back ot eyery movement that is
for the good of all.
The Federation in turn de
mands the support of each club,
just as the physical body de
mands that one of its member—
an aim for instance—reach out its
hand when the eye sees the need
of, and the ear hears the cry for,
help.
It is earnestly desired that
each member of each club make
herself familiar with the purposes
of the City Federation and attend
its meetings, and exercise the
right to a voice in its decisions—
otherwise put up with its rulings.
It is not the desire of the writer
to be conspicious in this matter,
but it is her desire, as it should be
every club woman’s, to see this
organization a power in our town
just as the City Federation of
Kansas City is becoming a power.
To be sure that federation is
composed of men, but we do not
all have to be men, to do things,
as was demonstrated in Boston,
when two thousand women held
sway there in June last.
Charlotte M. Banks.

lar session on Monday evening,

and after much talk on the sub
ject the meeting adjourned.

The Benefits of
Ripe Experience
are what you prorfit by, whan you purchase a
Timepiece from a watchmaker who has demon
strated that he is competent.
Long years, spent in the manufacture and
repair of Watches, have familiarized the watch
maker-dealer with many intricacies and details,
of which the ordinary watch salesman is entirely
ignorant.
The knowledge of these details is just what
makes your new Timepiece keep correct time or
become a source of annoyance.
There Is one place in Falls City where you
can profit by this ripe experience--and that is at
Jaquet’s.
Jaquet has spent an entire lifetime at
watchmaking and will advise you sincerely and
honestly in making your purchase.
What’s more, the advantage of this experi
ence oosts you nothing extra and the selection
of watches is equal and probably superior to any
in the city.
