About Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930 | View Entire Issue (June 30, 1904)
E. E. Parks , an attorney from Chicago , HI. , was one of the new homesteaders. He took a home stead near Valentine , and may in the future practice his profession here. We have found him a pleas ant gentleman to meet and an in teresting conversationalist. Valentine ball team reorganized under the management of Dr. A. N. Compton and last Saturday went up to Rosebud and won a game from the Indians with a score of 13 to 4. They think they are "it" now and if Ainsworth should buck up agin them again we don't think it will be so one sided as it was before. This is the way they line up : G.

Harrison risen Davenport's dog Jack is the mascott. James A. Barwick arrived from FMgstaff , Arizona , June 4th to re lieve J. J. O'Donnell , who has been in charge of the Weather Bureau office at this place for the past five months. Mr. O'Donnell was a worker and a gentleman of many good qualities. Besides be- efficient he was ever courteous and gentlemanly in his conduct toward his fellowmen. He goes back to Barbados , West Indies , where he will again resume charge of the signal service there during the hurricane season. Mr. Barwick , the -present observer in charge , comes well recommended as an ef ficient signal service man , having been engaged in this work for 31 years. He is an elderly gentle man , sociable , pleasant and inter esting in conversation. Dan Allen , a man reported to be a Fremont hotel man , butted in , or tried to get into the line formed before 4he land office Monday night. He finally took up a po sition as number two which he held until near morning when he was induced to move back , and he but ted in down the line near the 100 mark which he held until he came to the vstairway. Here he was taken out and made to take his position at the foot of the line , which he did very reluctantly. The' other Fremont boys were ashan d of his conduct and re.- gretted that one of their number should make himself so conspicu ous. It is also reported that these twelve Fremont people were here to file on homesteads for the Stand ard Cattle Co. Bailey Briefs * . Corn is half stand in this vicin ity. Chas.

Senator Hearst Father and Son Worked Together For Democracy , and the Sturdy Cali fornia Pioneer Found Great De light In the Latfer's Industry and Achievements. "I'm feeling very lonely , " said ex- Senator Jones of Nevada in the Hoff man House , New York , the other day. "Nearly all the old timers are gone now the men who stood out from the crowd In the vrest and it took a pretty good man to do that. " It certainly did , for the early comers to California and Nevada were not an ordinary lot. In brains , body and vigor they rose far above the average of hu manity , or they would not have forced their way to the frontier. And to rise aboye this young and energetic and daring population argued the posses sion of very exceptional qualities. That is why the 'Taciiic coast mil lionaire" has ahva3s been an interest- TVILLLAJI RANDOLPH HEARST. s ing figure in the east , where men are regimented and classified and conven tionalized until they cease to possess or shrink from showing individuality. Senator Jones spoke of the friends whom death has removed , especially of his once colleague in the senate , George Hearst , and of John TV. Mackay. These two and Jones himself were the three very rich Californians most liked , because most characteristic of their Cny. All made their money in the mines , and all were humanized in stead of hardened by wealth. The California pioneer was personi fied by Senator Hearst in perfection. He began at the bottom , with empty pockets , a pair of willing hands , a pluck that nothing could discourage and a resolution to succeed that com pelled success. When millions came to him he remained the same man his fel low miners in the gulches knew clear headed , shrewd , direct , good humored and warm hearted. The management of vast and complex interests was as easy to him as the handling of the rocker at Long Tom , but he did not seem to recognize that this talent differentiated him from his comrades of the mines. "Why should money change a man ? " he would say in conversational intima cy , "except to make him bigger and better by enabling him to be his best self ? If you're pooV you have to do what you can , and somebody else gives you orders , but if you're rich you're free to be what you like. " And this particular millionaire liked to be a democratic American. That is what distinguished the suc cessful Californiaus for the most part their democracy. Assumption of su periority , pretension to being different In kind from those around them , arro gance , aloofness these traits were for bidden by their knowledge of life and sense of humor. Senator Hearst confessed that he was made humble by his good fortune. "I was nearly a middle aged man , " he related , "when I started from Cal ifornia over the mountains with a party for the new Washoe mines. The ilay was hot , the , grade steep , and I fell behind. I got off my horse and sat down in the shade , flicking the dust ' ] in the road with my switch and wondering i dering if I'd better go on to the Corn- stock or turn back. I'd left a little mill behind nothing much , but there was a 1 living in it. If I went ahead to this untried field the chances were I'd go broke and have to begin all over again. But I started after the boys , just as much for company's sake as anything else , and inside a year I'd made my Irst million. "Now , why did Lhat happen to me es pecially ? It could just as well 7"i liappencd to anybody else. "Put on airs because you've struck it rich ? Oh , I've seen too many good aen go down who deserved to suc ceed , and too many bad fellows get on ivlio ought to have gone down , to be luffed up by my own good fortune. I'm just thankful. Those early days ried men out To be of a distinguish- d family 'back in the states' counted < " 7" for netting. Neither d.d education unless it could be applied. What a man Avas in himself , not what he had , not who his relatives were , was the test. AbiL'jy and character were ev erything. " In his old age leisure came to Sen ator Hearst , and he interested himself in .public affairs. He gave to the Pa cific coast its first Democratic news paper the first Democratic newspaper that received special dispatches from the east and so emancipated the news from the editing of the Associated Press , which , on its political side , was conducted in the interest of the Repub lican party exclusively. Of this news paper , the San Francisco Examiner , he made a gift to his son. William Randolph Hearst , when the latter left Harvard , and from that beginning the system of Hearst newspapers , embrac ing the continent , has grown. Father and son worked together for the De mocracy. The boy's achievements in journalism were the delight of the senator. He was proud of his sou and fond of him as not many fathers are. Their intimacy was close and loving. The son comes honestly by his De mocracy. Most men inherit their poli tics as a sort of unthinking party hab it , but Senator Heart's Democracy was a matter of living ideas and senti ments , which he transmitted by ex ample and instruction. lie believed in the people not that they had any magical way of being always right , but because he had seen no set of men who were so much wiser and better than the majority that they should be commissioned to rule. "The people , " the old senator would say , "can make fools of themselves sometimes , but they've got no monopoly ely on that weakness. If they don't know what's best for them , they're a good deal more likely to than others whose interest it is to work them. " What he stood for , by instinct and conviction , the newspapers of his son. whom he admired as much as he lov ed , stand for government of the people ple by themselves , to the end that we may have in this republic equality of rights and no privileged class. - - . = - : : = fn. = 1 ? | | S PII Fig > : E , Oct. 17,1902.

I naturally felt discouraged for I eeemod to be beyond the help of physicians , but Wine of C'ardui came as n God-send to me. I felt a change for the better within a week. After nineteen days treatment I menstruated without suffering the agonies I usually did and soon became regular and without pain.
