A RUN ON MUTTON Ed Morgan Sustains a Big Loss Last Sunday On last Sunday afternoon, Ed Morgan, who lives on a farm near Straussville, lost 103 head of sheep by the train on the Mis souri Pacific running into them. The trouble came from a weak fence, through which the herd found it w?ay. The fence is the property of the railroad, and Mr. Morgan had notified them of its weak condition, but to no avail, and the above loss is the result, which falls pretty heavy on Mr. Morgan.

A new 40 horse power boiler- is being in stalled and the work will be finished this week. •■Sid"’ is always looking after the com. tort of his guests and with this new heating plant in place, the cold winds ol winter will have no terrors for the guests at the National. Will Address the Meeting At the fourteenth annual meeting of the Nebraska Library association to be held in Hast ings next Tuesday and Wednes day, Miss Spencer of this city will address the meeting on the subject of “Book Repairs.” .Just a glance at the splendid repair in which all the books are kept in our library, is convincing proof that Miss Spencer is com petent to handle the subject as signed her, and will give her hearers much valuable informa tion. How's This For Corn? ]f you want to see a ‘‘bumper” stalk of corn you ought to call at the office of Whitaker Bros., in the State Bank building and see one taken from the field of Christ Madowse, living twelve and one half miles north of Falls City. This stalk" measures 16 feet in length and the enr is ten feet above the ground. If Mr. Mad ouse’s field is all like this stalk we are of the opinion that it would take a pretty tall man to reach the ear to husk it. Money Several thousand dollars of private funds to loan on good farm security. Want to place it out at once- Henky C. Smith IN FAIRY LAND THE OPERETTA PROVED A GREAT SUCCESS A Large Crowd in Attendance and All Were Well Pleased The operetta. “Fairy Land, under the direction of Miss Rose, given Wednesday evening tor the benefit of the Episcopal church was one of the very best borne talent entertainments ever given in this cits. There was a good crowd in attendance and ev eryone was well pleased It is impossible to mention each of the eighty-seven in the cast, as they justly deserve, but suffice it to say that it is hard to understand how such perfection was attained in less than two week’s preparation The choruses were all strong, while the solos were of the best, and each of the specialties were so well received that they were forced to respond to encores. Great credit is due each one for their hard work and faithfulness in carrying the affair to such a successful end. Miss Rose as an instructor has no superior, while as a reader she can be classed with the best, ranging from tragedy to comedy with such vivid portrayal as to make her a decided success. On Wednesday evening she gave several readings which were great treats. All in all “Fairy Land ' was a success, and as a result a neat little sum was added to the church treasury. “Jane Eyre." In the new Rowland and Cl if. ford production “.Jane Eyre" which will be seen at the Geld ing there is a great deal of true dramatic strength and power, without resorting to clap-trap. The scene in the third act, where Jane leaves Rochester, is one that holds it.-, audience breath less. and proves that there is as much strength and power to hold in a quiet tense scene as in the most extravagant mechani cal impossibility ever born from an over fervid imagination. It an interesting story and well told, probably one of the best plays of its kind ever presented en lour. The lines are bright, the action is kaleidoscope, and the climaxes are orought out as a natural sequence of the lines and business. This should prove Manager Gehling’s best offering this season. Friday, October 16. Made Gun Play J. A. Massengale of Verdon stirred up a little trouble at that place Monday evening and in the mixup which followed made a pretty strong gun play. lie was placed under arrest and Sheriff Fenton sent for, who brought him to this city Tuesday and given a hearing before Judge Sprugins, who handed him a little package labeled thirty days in jail.

Rikschich*** BRYAN IS MERE THE PEERLESS" GREETED BY E1G CROWD OF THE FAITHFUL fvlada a Twenty-Minute Stop and Delivered His Talk in the Court House Yard The democrats had their in nings on Thursday and Were cor respondingly happy. B r y a n. their god, was here, and all wor shiped at his shrine. A large crowd was in the city, but not what was expected, due possibly to the fact that Mr. Brvan spoke in many of the nearby towns, and also that a hard wind was blow ing which made travel very dis agreeable. The speaker arrived on a special over the B. .V M- and was met by a delegation who es corted him in automobiles, to the band stand in the court house yard where the crowd was waiting to hear what he had to say. As to the speech, we go to press too early to comment on it- but feel safe in sainvg that it was the same which we have all heard so manv times. There was a special run from Hiawatha which brought a big delegation from Brown county. Up to the time of going to press this c\as the _onlv special train which arrived. If anything of importance oc curs during the remainder of the day, we promise our readers a re port of the same next week. GANTT-THOMAS Miss Daisy Gantt and Dr. Thomas Married at Glenw/ood. la.

Each even ing an interesting program will be rendered. 1 he entire proceeds are to he expended for pictures, which will be used to decorate the walls of the various school rooms. This exhibit has been made in New York. Boston, Minneapolis and many other large cities.

It is due to the energy of the director of drawing that educators and their friends are able to see this collection of 1 reproductions. the' f!f?.‘st ’ever1 gathered together in this country. The pictures are finely mounted and hung, and afford an excellent opportunity to view the fields of reproductiveart available fur this purpose.’’ 1 This is a rare opportunity to see and become titled with the masters of art, and to aid in hanging on the walls of our school rooms pictures radiating such character as was SirCIala hads, who “had the strength of twenty men because his heart was purr." ’ 5" ,; Single admission for adults 25c 'dhildreti TOc.

"p f^r GAVE FINE TALK CONGRESSMAN SCOTT , GREET ED BY FAIR SIZED CROWD >i in Touched Upon the Issues of the Day in a Most Convincing Manner On last Monday evening a fairly good sized audience greet ed Congresman Scott at 'die court house, and listened to a discussion of the political issues from a republican viewpoint. Congressman Scott is from the second Kansas district, and is the present chairman of the com mittee on agriculture, rtf which Congressman Pollard is also a member. The speaker touched 'general ly on most ol the issues of the campaign, hut gave mdre par ticular attention to the tariff question, making it quite clear that while the republicans are for a revision of the present schedules, they will retain the principle of protection to Am erican industries, seeking to ad just the rates so as to have the tariff, as nearly as possible, represent tile difference in cost of production in this and'toreign countries. The democrats de sire to revise the tariff along the lines of a tariff for revenue only, or more commonly desig nated as free trade. It was clearly shown that while the republicans are in favor of providing a Market in which to obtain good prices lor what we sell, the'Opposition are urging a policy the main argu ment of which is that we will be able 10 buy cheap, us was demonstrated lrom 1 Hvm to 1*!17, when we were under tlieWilson Gorman tariff law.

The account shows an increase of debt for running experses of $262,000,000, buddings dilapi dated, furnace tires out, Coxey armies marching through the land, labor unemployed mort gages being foreclosed, agricul tural productions selling below actual cost of production, and people going hungry while wheat was selling at 4o rents a bushel. 1 Th« tuUjT, (the people on the showing ^jnade dismissed the party and selected another to look after his business interests. And -now the time is at fiand tor another accounting. What can be shown to the credit of the present management. I ational debt decreased $l(X)JoOO,000, vast projects under cons ruction buildings in good repsir, fur naces age blazing, Ooxey’s army disbanded, labor veil em ployed; mortgages releas ed, live , stock and agricultural products selling at very renuii erative ' prices: property of al kinds | double in value; a people pros-; I perous, contented and | happy" 'Question: What will thi ruler, h the people ) do? • Hokey Pokey Smitih" Hokey Pokey came to town To tell us how to vote, He stamped his foot upon the floor And upon his breast he sm >te.
