last week contained either an original editorial beginning The dramatic ac cusation of Deputy Attorney General Ed Smith or one which started this wise We have enhanced the value etc Many papers had both articles Queer how all republican editors minds run in the same old rut Ed Clarke informs us that the term of district court which was to have been held here next week was adjourn ed by Judge KJnkaid instead of Judge Westovor and that it was not adjourn ed in the interest of the taxpayer We gladly make the necessary correction and while Ed gave us no other reason for the adjournment we presume it was done to keep people from sizing up the business in the hands of our various attorneys Etta Brown is a nice little lad We like her and it is a shame that she is being fooled by the wily republican politician All this hullabaloo about her certain election is done to keep from hurting her feelings and it is dis graceful that such is the fact We are told that that party is quietly attempt ing to trade her for Clarke but we dont believe it will work She is prac tically out of the race for superinten dent and fusionhts do not need to trade W F Morgareidge of last years class is county superintendent of Cner ry county He has been nominated to fill the vacancy caused by the former superintendent He is a capable man His record as a student is all that could be desired He stood at the head of his class and his examinations proved him strong in every study No student tood higher with the college nor with our citizens All admired him for his manly qualities as well as for his abili ty We wish him success Wayne Republican We are told that Clarke says he will fix Good after election All right Our life is insured and most of our debts are paid and those obligations now outstanding are provided for so our creditors need not worrj Some way or other though that threat for threat it is seems stale We have had so many loafers bums and bad men generally to say nothing of highly moral and religious people say those same words that they have lost their novelty At any rate well have to be present when Good is fixed and you may be sure we wont hesitate to give our readers the benefit of our exper ience during the fixing process It pains us though to learn that Ed is mad Wonder if he really thought we intended supporting him for county attornev as he said we would The republican campaign in this county is simply an effort to estrange the populists and democrats Fusion has brought confusion into the repub licancamp and in their effort to break the solid ranks of reform they make most extravagant claims of democratic and populistic accessions to their ranks A certain candidate even had the affrontery to claim to the editor that a number of prominent free silver demo crats in outlying precincts were work ing for republican success but in every instance tho claims have proved to be false Dont let them fool you demo crats In Loup they will tell you Val entine and Sparks democrats are solid for the gold standard republican ticket and in the latter precincts they boast of how Loup and Boiling Springs democrats have bolted the fusion ticket It is a very smooth scheme but it wont work Democrats are in the fight to win Populists granted every thing asked for and democrats will prove themselves not only ingrates but poor politicians to chase an ignus fatuus of -old settler and friend ship this year which will lead them to utter defeat and consternation next year It is not the county attorney that republicans are working for it is the county ticket next year A split in the fusion ranks now means a split next year and consequent republican success When anyone tells you lemo crats offered to endorse a single repub lican candidate for office tell him he lies If ho tells you democrats in another part of the county are working for a republican candidate tell him to show you Populists are beiug worked in much tae same way- They are told that the SL democrats have swallowed them and that they have no party They are told that democrats will not support the ticket and arc quietly informed that populists in a distant precinct are in anus against the whole ticket and will support tho gold standard ticket rather than vote for the fusion ists Not one of these assertions is true and republicans know it It shows in their faces their talk and their general ap pearance Where four weeks ago con fidence sneers and sarcasm predomi nated alarm honeyed words and hum bleness now reign The boasted ma jority of 200 for Clarke has been cut to any old thing and anything to get it Vote the ticket straight One cross under the rooster or the cottage does the business We pick the following kernels of whole wheat from Farm Stock and Homes chopped feed It was said that the high price of wheat killed the silver craze then may not the low price be expected to resurrect the corpse Wo vote laws to protect our laborers from cheap foreign labor and then we light to make the cheapest laborers on earth our citizens and the un trammel ed competitors of all other citizens How funny Our authorities arc hot after the trade of the Orient and other furrin parts When they go for an increase of trade with the United States by in creas ng the purchasing power of their people then trade will begin to hum in earnest and will keep humming We have no business extending the blessings of democratic government to the ends of the earth until everyone of our own citizens is enjoying these blessings to the fullest and that will not be until every laboring man can vote his convictions without fear of losing his job About ten days ago John Demmer lost 97 head of sheep and although a thorough search has been made no trace of them can be found The gen eral belief is that they were stoieu and shipped Keya Paha Call Simon ODonnell just back from Pittsburgh says more cattle are being fed in portions of the ea st than ever before The six principal counties in Pennsylvania namely Lancaster York Mifflin Chester Montgomery and Berks are feeding between 125000 and 150000 cattle At South Omaha Tuesday about 4000 head of cattle were carried over on account of the big storm many of them -without being offered at all This storm has demoralized markets all over the west and in Kansas and Missouri was the worst early storm ever known Stock will feel the effects of this spell of weather for some time to come The market at South Omaha however was better during the storm than at any other place in the wes One of the most important shipments of stock ever made to this county was that which arrived here the first of the week owned by J AV Stetter That gentleman brought in thirty full blood pedigreed Short Horn bulls from Iowa and is selling a limited number to iocal stockmen Our ranch owners are rapidly learning that it pays to raise good cattle and the number of good bulls turned into Cherry county herds of late is surprisingly large This evi dence of progress is noted with pleas ure and we hope and believe it will be only a short time until Cherry county stock will be classed among the very best in the state The Chicago Drovers Journal says that live stock traders who have studied the situation are of the opinion that it will be impossible to hold the prices of fat cattle down The shortage of such cattle is an acknowledged fact and though there may be temporary slumps the feeling is that vih a normal de mand prices will gradually ascend It is this bullish view of the case that im pels farmers to invest their money in feeding cattle that are comparatively high priced Should there be an im provement such as is anticipated then their judgment will be good but if cir cumstances and conditions should com bine to change the expected result there will be at least some time and feed lost The Drovers Journal of Monday says regarding the market that day The snow storm although the first of the season was almost a blizzard and the result was a very bad market day although buyers went out and consid erable business was transacted There were 235 cars 0500 head in when trains all arrived but it was slow work handling them and impossible to get any fill the cattle simply humping up their backs and turning tail to the storm Receipts were about like last Monday and were nearly all westerns with the percentage of feeders large and including more than the usual per centage of inferior stuff Lower mar kets elsewhere together with ihe bad weather here had a very depressing effect on the general trade Beef cattle were only in moderate supply and the proportion of corn fed offerings was small although including some that were very good Cows and heifers were in fair sstipply and there was the usual good demand but weather conditions were against a good market Prices were not much different from last week but where different were easier and a weak feel ing was plainlv visible although the supply m as cleaned up in good shape Bulls and stags sold about steady al though feeding grades ruled slow and weak Veal calves were in good le quest at full recent figures The feeder market unlike the usual Monday trade was slow and dull Sup plies were large but the storm made a big difference with the presence of country buyers and bid fair to keep a good many away that would have come later in the week under ordinary cir cumstances which was a bearish fac tor iii the trade CITIZENS - MEAT -MAR GEO G SOHWALM PROP Price 25 cents This market alwas lecepa a supply of FRESH FRUIT bl i JS LaL
