Senator M. S. Quay , of Penn

, gastritis.
The B. & M. and St. Joe and Gr.
I. have filed their report and it
was printed in the Bee of Thurs
day , the 18th inst. Here is a
sample : The St. Joe & \G. \ I. val
ues its section tools at § 320 : its
track-material at § 150 ; and its supplies -
- plies at $200. It has besides § 340
. of other personal property. This
is the full value ; the assessed val
uation will be one-fifth of this
amount or § 182 for section tools ,
track material , supplies and other
personal property for 312 miles of
road. Vote the republican ticket
straight , give them all the leverage
possible. Minden Courier.
Why should the republicans find
so much fault with Hearst ? He is
the very kind of a man they insist
ed , four and eight years ago , we
needed for president. He is a first
class business man and is able to
manage successfully large and in
tricate business enterprises. His
immense wealth ought to be , to
them , his best recommendation.
They are charging that he is using
cold and clammy cash to buy sup
port , but Lord ! a good republican
ought not to object to that , as only
the other day , in congress , Dazell ,
a national republican leader , ad
mitted that the republicans , in
1S96 , had bought the support of
lloorke Cochran for McKinley ; if
it was right then why should it be
wrong now ? Teddy marched up
San Juan hill , so did Hearst.
Teddy is one of the blue bloods ,
so is Hearst. Teddy is rich , so is
Hearst. Teddy is a college gradu
ate , so is Hearst. Teddy is a man
in the vigor of well natured man
hood , so is Hearst. Teddy believes
in doing things , so does Hearst
and he does them too. Say my
dear republican friends what is
the matter with Hearst ? Wahoo
Democrat.
Shooting : tlie GJ-aloots.
That popular hoodlum sport
known as charivari recevied a check
mate at Williamsport , Pa. , the
other day that is worthy of note.
A bridegroom's house was sur
rounded by a yelling mob , which
finally swarmed up on the roof of
his modest dwelling singing dis-
cordent tunes with great gusto.
At length the groom wearied of
the situation and , with the remark
that it was about time to pass the
refreshments , took down a shot
gun , loaded it with pppcorn , and
fired on the marauders. They
scampered ; their songs of revel
changed to cries of pain , but the
bridegroom was not satisfied. He
made the coterie of hoodlums take
up a collection , which he claimed
was damages for rough usage of
the roof of his house , and , the
money having been paid over , the
party adjourned.
This is one way of shooting civ
ilization into benighted hoodlums.

delegates present from Springview

gates were met at the train by a
number from the home league ,
who took them to their places of
entertainment. The convention
opened Wednesday morning with
Rev. Julian of Longpine in the
chair. The address of welcome
by J udge Walcott assured all that
they were more than welcome in
our town and homes , that the latch
string was always out and that
there was no frost on the door
knobs. This was ably responded
to by Rev. Connell of Ainsworth.
Then followed several papers on
the qualifications of good Ep-
worth League officers and the con
vention adjurned for dinner. In
the afternoon were several more
papers on the opportunities for
department work , and a splendid
talk by Chaplain Stewart of Ft.
Niobrara. In the evening Rev. D.
J. Clark of Chadron delivered a
splendid address on the Detroit
international convention , after
which a reception was given at
Judge Walcott's for the visiting
lelegates. Thursday morning's 1
Dusiriess session was full of lively
interest and enthusiasm and the
reports showed all leagues in good
condition in every respect. The
following officers were elected for
the ensuing year : President , Rev.
A. T. Carpenter , Valentine ; 1st
