Two yeats ago this issue the Wester :
News Democrat passed into the hand
of the present owner and was change
to the VALENTINE DEMOCRAT. Beinj
an inexperienced man in the newspape
field our first efforts may haye give :
some the idea that the paper would b
neither a paying investment nor a pei
manent business. Some people told u
they would first see if the paper con
tinued before , they advanced their sufc
scrip tion. Some perhaps remarked t
their friends that ' 'Rice couldn't run ;
newspaper" but we are thankful to ou
friends who lent u helping hand assist
ing us to put out a paper that was no
excelled iu patronage by any in north
west Nebraska and equaled by few
The VALENTINE DEMOCRAT is no long
er an experiment but has the larges
circul ation , among the best class o
people and most intelligent stock rais
ers of western Nekraska. Our mono ;
has been devoted to the upbuilding o
the paper and the interests of its pat
rons and they have prospered , whil
many of those who without cause hav
withheld their support and patronagi
have not profited and jsome are now ou
of business.
To all of our friends we extend greet
ing and invite others to step into th
sunlight and erjoy the blessings o
prosperity that fail to those who are no
too selfish to help others while helpin ;
themselves.

We have received a markqd copy o
the Red Cloud Nation and the markec
article says that a Dr. Damerill is th <
coming man to nominate for governor

The republican papers jeer at th <
"water cure. " They say it is a mild
sort of thing , far removed from tor
ture , but a lieutenant in the Philip

in his company and the soldier diec
under it. Nebraska Independent

Gov. Savage has allowed Hhea , the
Dodge county murderer to remain on
earth a year and a * half longer. In his
it was a cold-blooded deliberate murde *
for the purpose of robbery and the
murderer neve showed any remorse foi
his act until his neck was almost in the
halter. It is reasonably &aft to predict
that another case of this kind in that
counny will never reach the governor
or even the district court.
We want a man for Governor tried
and true. Not some new man of whom
our prople have never heard and who
is perhaps not known outside his pre
cinct or nearest grocery. We would
take pleasure in supporting some man
who has done something to make him
worthy of the peoples confideue. Such
a man can be found in the person of
W. J. Bryan or W. V. Allen. We are
tired of experiments and think itjis time
for tlio people to know the man they
rote for.

Patton'sSun Proof Paints endure in any kind of weather.
They are appreciated rnost in the worst climates. They
are guaranteed to wear well for five years but very likely
you need not have to repaint then unless you wish to. They
endure because the ingredients are pure , the proportions ( Pat-
ton's secret ) are correct , the mixing and grinding done by
powerful , exact machines. More about paint in our free book of
paint knowledge. Send for it.
