CAMPAIGN OPENS
The Bryan campaign was opened
in this county last night with a big
rally at Cornell Hall Hon W H
Thompson of Grand Island was the
speaker of the evening The meet
ing was opened by a song from the
glee club and then the speaker was
introduced and immediately took up
the discussion of the issues and for
two hours handled them in his own
masterly way During the progress
of the speech he was interrupted by a
prominent republican who insisted
on asking questions Mr Thompson
is a master at repartee however and
his answers came so quick and force
ful that the gentleman had cause to
regret his rashness Time and again
the audience broke out in hearty ap
plause He arraigned the administra
tion on its foreign policy and showed
its duplicity and double dealing with
Porto Rico In a duscussion of tiusts
he showed that the price of every
thing the consumer used had gone up
and said the cry of the full dinner
pail would deceive no one Taken all
in all this was the largest and most
enthusiastic meeting held in Cherry
County since the joint debate between
Norris Brown and Judge Greene two
years ago
After the meeting broke up a Bry
an Club was organized with about two
hundred members Hon John H
Shore was elected president W A
Pettycrew vice president J W Stet
ter treasurer and W P
reidge secretary Headquarters
will immediately be opened on Main
Street and the campaign kept hot
until the polls close

At the temperance street lecture
Monday evening the republican brass
band marched the crowd jolting the
people to one side while they marched
up the street to the pounding of the
big bass drum It vas not necessary
to form in line to march through a
crowd of listeners to a public speech
It was not done in the interests of free
speech and could almost be character
ized as riotous and disturbing the peace
of a public meeting Whether the sen
timents of the meeting were appreci
ated or not the rights of others should
be respected by people who would be
civil
At the republican meeting Monday
night the band played We suppose
there must have been a speech The
boys dont say We know there was
somebody there for we went to see
There was Judge Tucker Charley
Reece Dad Sitzer and Jack Hooton
and when the thing was over we sup
pose they thought they had elected
Wm McKmley
Our republican officers have their
offices decorated with republican cam
paign pictures This is extremely par
tisan They were elected to serve the
people not to conduct a campaign for

Cure of Chronic Diarrhoea After
Thirty Xetrrs of Suffering
I suffered for thirty years with dia
rrhoea and thought I was past being
curedsays Jobn S II olio way of French
CampMIss I had spent so much time
and money and suftered so much that
I had given up all hopes of recovery
I was so feeble from the effects of the
diarrhoea that I could do no kind of
labor could not even travel but by
accident I was permitted to find a bot
tle of Chamberlains colic cholera and
Diarrhoea remedy and after taking
several bottles I am entirely cured of
that trouble I am so pleased with the
result that 1 am anxious that it be in
reach of all who suffer as 1 have For

Copper Production
The growth of copper production in
the century has been very rapid being
in the first decade 91000 tons in the
fifth 291000 tonsand in the tenth dec
ade which ends with 1900 3743000
tons of which 1963000 tons is sup
plied by North America the larger j
proportion of this being from the
United States The rapid extension
of the railroad system of Mexico is re
sulting in the opening ot some very
extensive copper mines in that coun
try the richness of the ores which as
a rule carry gold and silver together
with the abundance of very cheap la
bor and the climatic advantages will
tend to greatly increase the North
American production One of the
largest copper mining enterprises in
the world is now being started by the
Rothschildswho have invested 5000
000 therein This great property is in
the state of Michoacan and in the
same mineral belt as are the El Pro
greso Mines that are advertised in this
issue The mainspring of the wonder
ful increase of the worlds production
of copper is of course the great profit
that results from mining it and at
the present time no better investment
is offered than the stock of a good cop
per mining company in the initial
stages and before a dividend is paid 1

SPARKS SCRAPS
Crowded out last week
As nothing has appeared in the pa
per from this place for a long time I
will write a few short notes
Everybody is a little off their feet on
account of the picnic which was a grand
success No grumbling about any
thing has been heard
Judge Tucker delivered a splendid ad
dress satisfactory to all who heard him
The Ladies Band was all that could be
asked for Valentines turnout was
more than we expected but the weather
was fine and everybody was here and
all had a splendid time
About 11 oclock we had the Norden
parade headed by the Norden band
which discoursed the sweetest of music
The address by Judge Walcott was
splendid and delivered in his usual
pleasant wajT making one feel glad
to be present to hear him
It seems rather louesome here this
morning to look out over the grounds
all the tepees are gone and all that is
left to mark the place where they stood
is the mashed grass but we are well
pleased that everything went off pleas
ant and glad that we can say truthfully
that we believe that Saturdays was the
largest gathering that ever met on the
Sparks townsite
We expect to do all in our power to
make the old settlers reunions in the
future a time to be looked forward to
by all Now for the Norden fair
