When you cast your ballots , don t
forget to vote for Compton for coroner.
It shows a weakness on the part of
the republicans when they nominate a
democrat for the office of commissioner.
Moses is evidently st 11 in the bull-
rushes at least he has not sheAved his
face in this section of the Sixth district.
, If a public officer sends to another
state for his deputy , and also the goods
he buys , he should get his votes for re
election from those states.
The Star-Journal says "Alder has
practiced law exclusively for twenty -
four years. " * Kinkaid says that an
old lawyer makes the poorest judge.
Take your choice.
If Commissioner Trowbridge is hon
est , why don't he resign and allow hi
constituents to name his successor in
stead of waiting to allow the ring to
make an appointment.
The Rev. Fleharty puts it this way
"God buried Moses where the people
couldn't find him , but this fall the pee
pie will bury Moses ( Kinkaid ) where
God can't find him. This may be sac
rilegious , but it is a figurative truth.
Lee Layporte was to have been one
of the principal witnesses in the Fischer
liquor case last Saturday , but he left
town the day before the trial. We pre
sume his friends will say this is an in
sinuation that he did not care about
doing his duty in the matter.
"No man ever knew Mr. Alder to
relax his efforts in a client's behalf
until the case was finally decided , '
says the Ainsworth Journal. Mi-
Alder is now attorney for several sup
posed cattle and horse thieves who
liave not yet been brought to trial.
A letter written by "Judge'5 James
.Neville , of Omaha , is being exten
sively quoted by the lepublican press
to show that our candidate for con
gress is in reality in flavor of imperial-
srn. The old ship is certainly leaking
aadly when its crew has to resort to
such tactics in their attempt to elect a
candidate.
Our old friend Jim Alderman is run
ning for treasurer in Rock county this
year. Jim and the writer used to
spark the same girl on alternate even
ings , but we forgave him for that some
time ago , and now we sincerely wish
he may be successful in his official
quest. We know Jim is worthy of the
place or he could never hava been a
rival of ours.
Col. Towle , of the local land office , is
billed to make a number of speeches
through the county and tell the faith
ful how to vote. Tnis is a favorite
scheme of the administration , to use
one of the public servants as a mouth
piece , but we don't believe the voters
of this county can be brought to listen
to a hired orator's mouthings and think
they are the honest convictions of the
speaker.
Senator LTayward said in an inter
view in Washington a few days ago
that the republicans "want to beat
Bryan in his own state if we can , for
the effect it will have on the rest of the
country. " This is a frank admission
that it is necessary for the administration - .
tion to bolster their cause in every way ,
and reformeis should be very careful
to see that all their votes are out and
cast for the straight populist or demo
cratic ticket.
Alex Burr , of Pullman , was a pleas
ant caller Tuesday while euioute to
John Henderson's at Burbank , for a
short visit. Mr. Burr is a candidate
for the office of commissioner of Cherry
county. lie served as one of the com
missioners of Box Butte county for
three years and made an honest and
conscientious oflicer. People of Cherry
county need have no doubts of securing
a faithful officer if he is elected Alli
ance Grip.
No man ever knew Mr. Alder to be
tray a client or to relax his efforts in a
client's behalf until the case was finally
decided.
The above was taken from the Ains-
worth Star-Journal's 'steen reasons
why L. K. Alder should be elected
judge , and we respectfully refer it to
the Longpine Journal as an answer to
his query to us , asking how Alder's
defense of persons charged with cattle
stealing affects his elgibility for the
bench.
STOCK NOTES
I3ennett & Lord shipped five cars ,
160 head , of steers from Woodlake
Wednesday morning.
Some people feed their milch cows
on diy bran , but from all we can learn ,
by study and experience , this method
is very wasteful. The careful owner
will always feed his bran as a mash.
Dawson & Ball shipped a special
train of ten cars from this point to
Omaha , Monday night , loaded with 175
steers , mostly 2-year-olds , 85 cows and
2 bulls. Most of this stuff was good
lor beef.
The Denver Stockman says that in
the vicinity of Frisco , New Mexico ,
mountain lions have destroyed nearly
one-half of the colts on the ranges , and
that horse owners are offering $5 in
addition to the regular bounty for wolf
scalps.
W. S. Perkins , the sheep man , who
recently sold out his ranch on White
Clay , was in Eushville Saturday. lie
is now located near Morecroft , Wyo. ,
and has a bunch of 0,200 sheep. Mr.
Perkin's family still reside in Rushville.
Rushville Standard.
On account of the decrease in the re
ceipts at Omaha , cattle prices went up
a notch , feeders selling at an advance
last week of 13 to 23 cents over the
week before. Quotations Saturday
placed range beef steers at $4.25@5.00 :
feeders at : ? 3.7o@4.G5 ; bulk , § 4.00'J
4.25 ; cows and calves were quoted at
$ 32.00 ( 45.00.
Quite a number of buyers got pinched
in the recent slump , and we notice that
the number is not so great in this sec
tion since then. We remember one lot
that was bought here which sold for 60
cents less in Omaha than was paid
here. Our readers will probably re
member that we advised them at the
time to sell at home.
Bob Dickson , the cattle man , has
sold upwards of 3,000 head of-cattle to
the farmers and ranchmen in this local
ity in the past six months. Bob is a
hustler for business , and those who
deal with him say he is fair and reason
able and a most agreeable man with
whom to do business. Bob expects to
make this his home , and continue to do
business with the stockmen of this
locality. Gordon Journal.
Ben ilobson shipped thirteen cars of
cattle to the Omaha market Monday
morning. They were all double win
tered stuff , and would average about
800 Five cars were consigned to
Evans , Snider Buel Co. , Charles Sher
man's house ; three cars to Wood Bros. ,
who carry an ad. in this paper and are
represented by W. Gf. Baker , and five
cars to Flato. J. W. Stetter also
shipped a carload with the train , con
signing to Sherman's nrm.
The Denver Field and Farm predicts
that the next notable scarcity in the
live stock business will be among the
range horses for they are going to mar
ket very rapidly and nothing is being
bred to replace them. The market is
3eveloping a , wonderful appetite for
liorses. and almost everything goes for
some price. The range horses have
been produced very cheaply , and they
* re selling at high prices as compared
ivitli the cost of production. The de
mand of the general market is becom
ing so great that almost anything with
i leg on each corner will bring a price
; hat makes a horse produced under
: ange conditions profitable.
Considering the enormous receipts at
: he cattle markets , it is indeed some-
: hiug remarkable that prices have been
; o well sustained. That they have not
woken disastrously to some of the
shippers demonstrates the fact that the
leinand is unprecvdenlediy strong ,
rhousands of thin cattle are going to
: he farm in all of the corn states , and
; he packers are taking enormous sup
plies. During the month of September
Kansas City alone sent to the country
nore than 126,000 head of stockers and
: eeders , and the packers handled about
114,300 head. The droutli has caused
i heavy run of thin cattle to the mar-
set , such as , under ordinary condi-
, ions , would have caused a slump , but
lie beef demand is unprecedeutedly
itrong , and there is every assurance
, hat it will not weaken , and there is an
musually large quantity of cheap feecl-
ng stuff which the fanners can use to
> est advantage by converting it into
neat , and this they -propose to do.
