Gen. P. H. Barry , of Greeley , to Ci
represent us in congress suc tc

Mr. Thompson is highly com

Col. J. J. Moseby , the United
States fence destroyer , has ar
rived at Alliance. Considerable
apprehension is felt by the lanch
men who have fenced in the pub
lie domain as to what the Colone
will do. However , many of the
ranchmen have already taken
down their fences and others are
at it. It is believed that he wil

General Barry , the fusion nom
inee for congress , bears one oJ
the best army records of any man
in the state. He carries one emp
ty coat sleeve as well as many
honorable scars of battle. His
devotion and love of country are
as strong today as they were in
the GO's. His record as a man
and a citizen is without a stain.
No better choice could ha\Te been
made by the fusion forces and no
stronger candidate could have
been named. Ainswonh Herald

Valentine can boast of as good
a shoemaker as is found in any
place. Frank Kletccka does as
neat a job putting on half soles
as he does when making a pair
of shoes or boots to order and is
always careful with his work.
We cheerfully recommend Mr.
Kletecka as a skilled workman in
his line and is an honorable and
thrifty citizen of our town for
years.

Considerable interest is mani
fested in the present high prices
of cattle for feeders as there is
an immense corn crop all over
eastern Nebraska , Kansas , Iowa
and Missouri. Any time now or
during the next month is a good
time to ship. Feeders will be in
demand and if you have extra
good ones you might do well to
hold them for another month or
two as they are bound to bring a
good price as long as beef cattle
stay up in price.
As the DEMOCRAT has remark
ed before , the county jail is about

Editor Lyon , of the Gordon

. Mealier and called him a bum
printer and said several other
uncomplimentary things of him
had applied to Lyon for work
and appeared independent. Mr.
Mealier found employment down
road and proceeded to pub
lish his account of the affair in
which : he severely roasts Lyon
ind calls his paper the "Setter"
a four page pamphlet which he
issues ; as the Dark Lantern es
pecially for Lyon's benefit. A
few extracts are given below :
"It is said that when Korkey
jarrett came down the line about
six weeks ago he had a tilt with
The Animal , who said he'd roast
him in the Setter. 'All right , '
said Korkey , 'I'm a lame man ,
but I can walk out from under i
the circulation of your sheet in
fifteen minutes. ' The roast
didn't appear in the Setter.

per , but they fit nicely in the Set
ter.
