The Full man correspondent of the
Whitman Sun aays "Mr , ilorrissey ,
\vlio ran for prosecuting ttorney was
given a large majority in this precinct ,
which cast fifty votes. It was at
tributed to the efforts of A Burr who
worked faithfully and with untiring
energy for this end. "
An eastern exchange very pertinent
ly says that "Jf free silver is knocked
out out west by the defeat of congress
men it must be knocked in by the gain
of congressmen in the east. If the ad
ministration is endorsed by the gain in
the senate it must be condemned by
the loss in the house. What do you
sayV"
The republican legislature , which
will elect a United States senator to
succeed Allen , could do no better than
to elect a man by the name of Judge
M. L. 11 ay ward. His splendid run for
the office of governor and the able
speeches he made did much to elect
the present legislature. lie is entitled
to the honor and would be a credit to
our state as our senator. Ord Quiz.
Allen will not be elected senator this
year to succeed himself. But he will
undoubtedly be a candidate two years
from now. Senator Allen is today , by
all odds , the foremost populist in the
state , and it is not likely that anything
will occur during the next two years to
lessen his prestige , while his Avork in
the senate next winter very possibly
mav greatly increase it. The Times is
for Allen for 1900 Silver Creek Times.
The worst feature of the campaign
was the defeat of Senator Allen , that
noble giant who for the last five yesrs
has stood up in the halls of congress
and ably advocated Nebraska and the
cause of her people. If there is any
blame for Senator Allen's defeat it
certainly rests with the mere than
30,000 voters who did not leave their
corn fields and other farm work and
go to the polls. They were overconfident
dent that the state was safe and uo
danger from the republican party
which had but few years ago nearly
robbed the state entirely Lincoln
Letter.
Captain Fisher , of Chadron : repre
sentative elect , is an avowed candidate
for the spcakership of the next house.
An interview in the World-Herald last
Saturday says :
'lie is the only veteran Avho is a
candidate for the speakership. It is a
good time to find out how we heroes of
the Spanish-American Avar stand with
the people here at home. "
It was suggested that the senatorial
question question might enter largely
into the contest for the speaker-ship.
"In that case , " said the captain , "I am
out of it. If the house is going to settle
the senatorial matter in choosing its
presiding otlicer , then the next speakei
Avill not be your humble servant. " '
When told that his name had been
mentioned in connection Avith the sena-
torship , Captain Fisher laughed Avith
infectious good humor as he replied :
"Well , that is one thing I am not after.
I am not a candidate for the senate.
I am a candidate for the speakership
because I want it , and I think 1 am en
titled to it. "
The entire people of Xortliwc.- Ne
braska are interested in Capt. Fisher's
candidacy , and wish him success ,
This part of the state certainly deserves
the position.
The vote on senator from the 14th
district was officially canvassed in
Ainsworth last week , and the Aote
shown to be as follows :
CQUNTIE& . REYNOLDS. 3IUTZ.
Brown 384 279
lox Butte 400 300
Cherry 549 o55
Dawes 64G 341
Keya Paha 221 259
Rock 329 217
Sheridan 402 525
Sioux 107 191
Total 3,044 2,9.27
Majority 117
As a matter of curiosity the Avriter
figured the A'ote on governor in this
district , and found that Hay ward was
4P ahead. This shows that Mutz ran
7 ? behind his tipHpt > and pf these 13
scratched linn in his own county , fleyr
nolds Avas 40 votes ahead of his ticket
in his homo county. Had Mut ' home
done as Avell by him he would have
been elected by a majority of five votes.
But republicans canuot'boast of any
great gains. The vote two yea is ago
g.ive Mutz 3G"7S , and Ely 3353 , a total
of 7031 as against 5971 this year , a loss
this year of 1060. Of these 1060 Mutz
had 751 two years ago and Ely 309.
Besides this , at least 250 democrats
failed to A'ote on senator at all , becjiusc
Mutz IMII ou but one ticket' These
figures show conclusively that of the
home this the ftision-
stay-at vote year , -
ists last 3 to the republican's 1. All we
need do is to get out and vote , if AVG

Parties taking outside stock to win
ter should take the pains to see that the
same is not mortgaged , as a mortgage
precedes everything and there is a pos
sibility of you losing your feed bill.
It is a profitable ruse for irresponsible
parties , on the verge of bankruptcy to
let their mortgaged cattle out for some
farmer to Avinter , as this enables them
to speculate six months longer with
out even the expanse of feeding , for
when spring comes if cattle have went
down , and they have lost money they
can let the company foreclose and the
farmer can whistle for his wintering.--
Springview Herald.
A decision of much importance to
live stock and live stock commission
men has just been made by the Kansas
City court of appeals , in a case which
originated in 1879 , and which has been
in the Kansas and Missouri courts for
nearly two decades , the point in the
case being the liability of commission
men for the sale of stolen cattle.
Nearly twenty years ago W. II. More-
land shipped to Irwin , Allen & Co. , at
the Kansas City stock yards , a car load
of cattle of the value of $ (520. ( Irwin ,
Allen & Co. sold the consignment to
Thompson , Payne &Co. Shortly after
it was found that the cattle nad been
stolen. The purchasers brought suit
against the commission firm making
the sale , and the case was carried
through a number of the eourtsof Kan
sas and Missouri. After it had been
pending for some time there Avas talk
of effecting a settlement , but it Avas
finally concluded that it Avould be best
to fight the case out on the issue and
Establish the principle of the liability
of the commission man , if he were
liable in such case , Avhich Avas accord
ingly done , and the decision just made
declares that commission men making
sales under such circumstances are not
guarantors of title and are therefore
net liable. The suit has been a very
expensive one to both sides , but its de
cision seems to have been necessary , in
order that both cattle OAvners and pur
chasers at .the stock yards , as Avell as
the commission man making sales ,
should know "where they Avere at. "
Homestead.
The following was sent from Omaha.
November 6 , to the Chicago Record
and indicates that the Nebraska fanner
has something besides "wheat to sell :
The cattle industry in the west has
been given a great impetus in the last
few months. This change for the
better applies to all branches of live
stoc : , but more particularly to cattle
and hogs. The sheep industry has
been steadily good and any improve
ment in that direction in this section is
not so calculated to attract. attention.
This marked improvement does not
take in Nebraska only , but the ranges
of northern Kansas , South Dakota ,
Wyoming and Colorado.
When the shipping season opened
stock began to come through from the
western range in a way that puzzled
wise heads who had known there was
no stock to be shipped this fall In
August stock was moving very freely ,
in fact , the receipts for that month at
the local yards were so heavy that it
exceeded any previous August in the
history oi the yards except in 1895. In
September the cattle came still faster ,
so that the total received fur the month
in Omaha was 102,600. In October the
story was more favo.ra.ble , 137,000
cattle coming into the local yards the
largest number over received in one
month. > ow the indication are that
receipts for November will be even
heavier , even though November re
ceipts ordmarilv are lighter than are
those of the two preceding months.
The history of the hog receipts at the
local yards during tiie month of Octo
ber has been equally satisfactory , 1G2- ,
000 hogs coming in , the number being
exceeded but once or twice ii ) the hist
tory of the yards. Of sheep , receipts
for the month break all recordsat 134- ,
000 head. All this stock brought top
prices.
Shippers of these cattle , hogs and
sheep assert that the range conditions
\yore n.Qvpr S.Q fuvo.ya.ble in Nebraska
and in adjacent states for the produc
tion qf stock. The fee'ding of sheep
has improved so much in the last two
years that to-day there are ten times
more sheep fed in the state than ever
before. Stockmen report that they
have all the money they want to do
business on at rates that are lower than
they have been for many years. The
scheme of bringing into the state the
unfinished range stock of Arizona and
New Mexico , which promised real dis
aster the first year , now seems to be
close to success. The1 "rawhides"'seem
to thrive on Nebraska ranga grass and
since having become accustomed to
Nebraska winters they seem to stand
the weather really better than do the
Stack.
