As the time for different conventions
draws near all parties are troubled
with a surplus of patriots who are wil
ling to sacrifice themselves for the dear
public.
It took 30 British nearly three years

The Lodge Philipino government
bill passed the Senate Tuesday evening

cans , Boar of Massachusetts , Mason , of
Illinois and Wellington , of Maryland ,
voted against the measure and one al

Carolina , voted for the bill , Senator
Hoar's speech against the bill was a

Monday's dailies bear the unwelcome
news that the Boers had surrendered
after nearly three years of fighting
against what has been supposedly the
m ost powerful nation on earth. The
great English nation with its 250,000
soldiers have been engaged two years
and eight months in the task of whip
ping a handful of Putch 25.000 and
stealing their land. TiiQ Eogljsh are a
God-fearing nation they fear any
thing that has any power at all and
the church bells were rung and special
thanks were ( given to Him on high for
their success in the dirtiest act that'a
nation , has over been guilty of. Eng
land , with all her boasted power and
wealth , has almost bankrupted lierself
in the effort to subdue a handful of
Dutch and absorb their little republic
and this too , be it said to the shame of
the United States , with no small sym
pathy aud assistance from this admin
istration. The little Dutch republic
has fallen after the bravest struggle ev
er put up b\r apy people in defense of
their homes and toey have more to
feel proud of today than their victors .
There IB no doubt that there is more
money in running a republican paper
than in running a democratic paper and
there is no doubt but that it is worth

more. The democratic editor can ad
vocate the same doctrine all the year
round while the republican editor is
subjected to a much greater strain in
advocating something for that party
and sooner or later having to take a
back track and swear he never said it ,
which necessarily causes considerable
strain on the conscience of those who
have any conscience left. Not long
ago their cry was tint there were no
trusts and later on they were forced to
'admit their existence but aid they were
a good thing and had "come to stay" ,
A little later on they were called on to
defend the administration's imperial
istic course in the Philipines and swore
by all that was holy that there was no
cruelty by our army over there that
everything was being done on humane
principles and that the charge that
there was "marked severity "caused in
dignant denial and the rebuke of the
general of the army and every mother's
of them claimed that the charge was
nothing but partisanship. Now that
there is indisputable evidence that the
hydraulic system of the American
army had cruelly killed and injured
many and that one of our generals is
sued an order to lay waste to an entire
province and kill all over ten years of
age Ihey reluctantly admit the truth of
the charges and in defense produce a
garbled order which was approved by
president Lincoln and refer to some al
leged cruelties in the south under the
carpet-bag rule. Yes. a man who has
to take it all back and swear he never
said it several times a year gets more
by reason of having an elastic con
science that is warranted to stand the
strain in any climate.

Hon. John Shores Dead
Valentine people were shocked Mon
day evening by the announcement that
Hon. John JJ. SJiores , of this city , was
dead. Mr. Shores * was sepii on the
street by a number of our people Mon
day forenoon as he went to the postof-
| ice for his mail as was his usual cus-
toWi looking just the same as usual
and apparently strong and hearty.
Shortly after noon Mr. Shores went
across the Street to get the parrot and
complained of Borne trouble in breath
ing but told his wife , who was always
solicitous for his health , that she must
not worry , as he would feel better soon.
After returning be } ay qn the lounge
for a while and again toW his wife pqt
to worry , as he would feel better socn.
Mrs. Shores becoming alarmed ac his
sfrqrt breathing , sent for the Doctor.
All efforts however failed to relieve and
restore Mr. Shores to life and at § : § Q
Monday evening he breathed his last.
John H. Shores was born in Eichland
county , 111. , January J8 , J848. Eight
years later the family mpyed to Sch.uy-
ler county. His parents , S. P and
Marv Shores , had a large famil and
during John's early life he was away
frorn home considerably which devel
oped a taste for traye } a.u4 a desire to
see the world. In 1870 be pame west
with the tide of emigration and settled
in Sumner county , Kansas , where he
Uved four years. In 74 he was on the
plains of Jejfas as a , qo\v-bov and came
overland to Nebraska witfr a large cat
tle pompany , bringing- bunch of cat
tle and Uyrseg while the grasshoppers
were eating up tlje ppops and trees in
Kansas. Later the cattle mostly per
ished in the severe winters following.
The remainder of the bunch was wide
ly scattered and he bought the cattle
company's brand and undertook to
gather some of them together which
were scattered from the "iobrara to
the Lonp. He'was married about this
time , September 17,1878 , to Miss Ruth
A. Garter , then living back in Illinois ,
a playmate of his schoolboy days.
Prom that time his lifo was closely
identified with the early hiplory of
Cherry county. Upon the organization
of the county he was appointed county
commissioner by the governor and was
twice elected to that office , and in 1898
was elected to the stute legislature from
this district and the same year sold his
ranch and stock and moved to town ,
purchasing the John J. Guth property ,
where he and his wife have since resid-
ad , highly respected by all and with
aot an enemy known. A mother , three
jrothers , fiye sisters and a beloved wife <
mrvive him. Two sisters still reside <
n Illinois but tho most of the family
ire near Guthrie , Oklahoma.
He was a member of the Masonic
raternity and the funeral was conduct-
id by them and Rev. S. "W. ITolsclaw.
L large number of his friends came in
rom the country and Mr. and Mrs. W.
I , and Henry Carter , brother and
father of Mrs. Shores , came down from
Cody ; Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Logan and
daughter , of .Norden and E , U. Wilson
and wife , of this city , cousins of Mrs.
Shores , and Thomas itzhenry , of
'Chesterfield , an old-time friend who
lived with the Shores on the ranch for
a number of years ; Samuel Hudson ,
of Simeon , Bob Gillaspie , of Ches
terfield ; D. A. Piercy and wife , of
Kenpedy , all Qld-tjme friends , were
present at the funeral. Many friends
from the west part of the county and
a long way from the railroad regretted
very much not being able to attend
and pay the last tribute of love and re-
pect to their old neighbor.
The YAi3jNTripjDp3iQCJiAT extends
sincepest sympathy to the bereaved and
we feel that we too have cause to
mourn the departed brother.
Mrs. Harry "Walker has , been on the
sick Ijpt for several days but Is report
ed better now.
Ralph Simons , son of Pete Simons ,
was bitten by a rattlesnake last Sun
day while playing at the creek.
Prompt medical attendance saved the

ing from the effects of the bite as rap
idly as could be wished.
