Below will be found a choice bit of
ogical argument clipped from the Re
publican of two weeks ago :
Never in the political history of
Cherry county was such a degenerated
compact entered into as that made by
the leaders of confusion in their politi
cal circus last Saturday. The per-
'ormers se'ectcd by them at that time
: o furnish amusement until November
lave good cause to hide their faces for
shame , and the wonder is whether or
not they will have the brazen affron-
tiveness and gall to look honest , con
scientious , well-meaning people square-
y in the eyes and ask them for their
votes.
The men who have for years been
aboring for reform will enjoy the
above very much. In fact , we opine
that this article will make "steen hun
dred votes for the Ilannacrat ticket.
Commenting on our article advocating
cating- consolidation of the various
stock associations in the northwest ,
: he Alliance Grip says :
While the association does not
amount to much in Dawes and Holt
counties , the associatiou in Box
Butte county is a pretty live one and
has made it possible for stockmen to
engage in business without fear of
laving their stock stolen and-that is
all that could be desired.
This is true , and we have advised
many of our friends to join the West
ern Nebraska , but nevertheless we
jelieve the interests of the stockmen
could better be subserved by consoli
dating. Something more than local
irotection is needed.
If it takes 40,000 men seven months
and $100,000 * , 000 to take possession of
300 square miles of the island of Luzon ,
low many men , how many months
ind how much money will it require
; o take and hold the whole island , con
sisting of 51,200 square miles , for all
time ? And after that calculation has
jeen made there is a chance to figure
as to the whole area of the Philippine
islands , of about 115,000 square miles
The figures of such a problem may well
make the American taxpayer gasp.

If Peter Donoher didn't have a
record as a clerk , he would not be
such a strongcandidate. .
Republicans are trying hard to
cause a split by saying the democrats
will not support Skirving for sheriff
but thev never name the democrats.

Just because Skirving has never
indulged in liquor to a great extent is
no sign that he is a prohibitionist.
The people who have known him for
years know him as a personal liberty
man.
In all that constitutes a lady , Mrs.
Crawford is the equal1 , and in all that
makes the teacher she is thr superior
of her opponent on the republican
ticket.

A SUCCESSFUL MEETING
*
Faces arc Good , but on Account of Weather
Attendance is Very Light
' Tuesday was the first day of the
Valentine race meeting , and opened
with a good string of horses present ,
but owing to the drizzling , cloudy
weather the attendance was small.
In the forenoon a half mile matched
race for $100 a side was run between
Frank : "Leahy's Francis Junior of
Ainsworth and Jim Dubray's Quinine
of Rosebud , resulting in a vicctory
for the former. This was followed by
a 300-yard dash , between two local
horses for $25 , and in the afternoon
the regular program was taken up.
The first event was a half mile repeat
for Cherry county and Rosebud horses.
Three heats were run , resulting
Prue's Greenwood first , Quick Bear's
Broncho Bill second , Bownet's sorrel
third. Time , 54i. While leaving the
track.Greenwood . dropped dead , hav
ing burst a blood vessel during the
heat. The second event was a quar
ter mile dash with six starters. Re
sult : Billy Bay's Gladys Wells of
Fairfax , S. B. , first ; Leahy's Francis
Junior second , This was a very pretty
race and was run in :24 : . The third
event was a mile dash and was won
by Bay's Glador in a walk. Dubray's
Quinine second. Time , 1:54.
Wednesday the weather was worse
if anything than the day before , but
the program was gone through with
just the same. The first race , a half
mile and repeat , was won by Billy
Bay's Glador , and the 600-yard dash
first money went to Gladys Well.
The half-mile dash for ponies was
won by Myrtle. S. , and the exciting
f qature of the race was the struggle
for third money , which was finally
captured by Jim McClean's "sheep. "
Yesterday was' * the last day of the
meeting , and despite the fog" ind (
clouds a large number of people attended -
tended the races. First event was
the novelty race for one and a quar
ter miles , $20 at each quarter.
Francis Junior and Gladys Wells
ma'de a hard race for the quarter ,
Avhich Was won by the former , and
also struggled for the half , but
Glador walked away with $80 of the
Money. Myrtle S. won the pony
race again , and as there was but one
entry in the consolation , the meeting
closed without excitement.
Altogether the meeting was a good
one , in spite of the weather , the
horses here numbering twenty at
least , and the crowd was an orderly
and respectable one. We have heard
no.complaints , and a great many dollars
lars were put in circulation which
would otherwise have remained idle.
Tjie arrest o ± the saloonKeepers for
gambling was the only disagreeable
feature of the week , and is greatly
deplored by most of our citizens. The
"Ainsworth horse" was traded to Jack
Button Wednesday fer a hall section
of Keya Paha land , and Billy Day
won every race in which he started
Stai cher's horses. From here the
horses go to Atkinson , and from there
home.
