It certainly looks pretty well for the democratic ticket when such republicans as lion. El. L. Pleath | feels called upon to pay the fol lowing tribute to our county ticket. This is what he sa.A s in last issue j i of the Cody Ow Boy : j ; 1 The democratic county convention1 was held at Vah'mine last Saturday , ' and nominated a ticket of candidates for ollicf. Judge Towne was re nomi nated for countiudge : Ernest Quible , for treasurer : the balance of the tic-t ket we do not know , but the men men tioned are both exceptionally good men. Judge Towne is well known to nearly everybody in the ccunty. Mr. Quible is a resident of Merriman pre cinct , and so far as his acquaintance extends , we doubt if there is a man with more fiiends in the county. Speaking from a uon-partisan stand point , the Cow Boy does not see much chance for a democrat to get into of fice in this county , but so far as we know the men who have been nomi nated , the convention chose wisely. The great majority of the people of this county know Mr. Heath and know that he was secretary of the last republican county conven tion. He cannot be accused of soreness. He was given the sec ond place of honor by the conven tion , and it was he who placed the name of their nominee for treasurer before the convention. When he says that it is doubtful if there is a man with more friends than Mr. Quible in the county he but gives utterance to the general feeling around Merriman , and , in fact , the entire west end of the county. Mr. Quible has a host of friends. He lives in the banner republican precinct but difference of politics d : does not prevent his neighbors from speaking well of him. The time was when men thought they were bound to vote their party ticket no matter what character of man was on it. They would ad Cl : mit the superior qualities of the opposition but lest they might be accused of party treachery they j3 would vote for men whom they knew to be undeserving. That time has fortunately gone 1 y in ! , l ( 1 * this county. The nnn > who is put ! H forward for an impurlaut office like that of county treasurer mustl ! n T ) ( be able to satisfy the voter that he ' is capable , that he is honest and c/- that he will , if elected , protect the " interests of the taxpayer. Thcj people who know Mr. Quible" know that he is just this kind of a to man and they are going to vote II [ for him. sc What Mr. Heath says of Judge pa Towne is equally true. Judge Towne is one of the land marks of j I i the eonnty and it is probably safe j to say that no other man possesses a greater share of the public con fidence than he. For several years j he has filled the important office of probate judge and each year has added to his strength. His popu larity has not been built up by baby kissing tactics but by fearless and efficient public service. In the administration of justice he has known neither friend nor foe , all men are equal in his court. No higher testimonial of his fairness could be given than the attitude of the local bar. There are five law- ers practicing law in this county. Four of these are republicans and one is a democrat. Although they have the right to bring their cases before a justice of the peace they never exercise that right. Every member of the bar brings his case before Judge Towne. It may be that attorneys on either side are republican or it may be that the attorney on one side is a republi- can and the attorney on the other is a democrat but it makes no dif ference. They know that the court will do what he thinks is right and so well satisfied are they of this fact that they have not ask ed for a jury half a dozen times in half a dozen years.Vhcre is there another county judge so free from partisan bias and from per sonal prejudice that the entire bar of his county bears testimony to his candor , his honesty and hii judgment. We know that the great majority of voters are in favor of keeping just that kind of a man. It is to be regretted that Mr. Heath is not acquainted with the remainder of our ticket for what he says of Mr. Quible and Judge Towne is equally true of Mr. Ward , Mr. Simons , Mr. McDan- iel , Mrs. Cramer , Dr. Compton and Mr. Barnes. Ours is indeed a big county and but few people have a thorough acquaintance over the entire coun ty , but what Merriman precinct says for Mr. Quible , Wood Lake precinct says for Mr. Ward and Mr. McDaniel , its candidates for clerk and surveyor. It is import , ant that the records of the county be carefully kept. The county ' clerk ought to be a careful pains taking , methodical man , and Mr. ! Ward fills the bill exactly. If you ' lon't know him ask any of his : neighbors and they will tell you - Lhat he is a good scholar , a splen- : lid penman and an upright citizen. rhey will say the same for their icighbor , John AY. McDaniel , our candidate for surveyor. 32 Dr. Compton , our candidate for ft oroner , is known all over the lorthern part of the county and if tc lis patients do not forget him on ' ei Section day he will surely win. If , } 1 ( lis patients were all voters and ' cr rot to the polls there is no telling j ac 10w large a majority he would ave. Perhaps there is not a teacher ' be Cherry coucty who ? oes not as 5 fersonally know Mrs. Cramer. ' st lany of them have attended jn 1 uhool with her , others have met \ \ - erin institutes and normals. She is [ home product. She has grown sj ] womanhood in Cherry county , sh er life work has been among the * h jhools of Nebraska. She has an assed through the same ext eriSu \ ences the teachers of today are now going through. Having met the same problems with which our teachers are now struggling she is better able to assist them than one who knows nothing of school work i in this sparsely settled county. The older residents remember when the county was on the verge of bankruptcy. When warrants had gone to a discount and the treasury was depleted the people elected P. Sullivan , a democrat , to the office of county commissioner. With the coming of Mr. Sullivan the leaks in the treasury were stopped. A business system was inaugurated and warrants went to par. The treasury was replenish ed and the county was placed on a cash basis. If jMr. Sullivan had been a weak man , if he had been an inexperienced man this would not have happened. If there is one place more than another where we need a man of good sound discretion it is in the office of coun ty commissioner. Dan Barnes is about 45 years of age , nearly half his time he has spent in active business life , and has made a.suc cess of his own business. Don't you think he is better equipped for the office of commissioner than he was twenty-five years ago when he was just starting in busi ness ? If twenty years ago Dan Barnes lacked business experience does not the boy of 25 lack busi ness experience to-day as he lack ed it twenty years ago ? Will you take advantage of these 20 years and the knowledge they have brought or will you vote for a man without it just because he happens to be on your ticket ? P. F. Simons , "our candidate for sheriff , came in from Simeon Sun day morning. He had been out attending the picnic which was held there on the 6th and 7th and rop o r t s ay royal enter tainment. W e learn that hirrself \ and his op ponent were the joint re- cipients of p. F. SIAIONS. the kindest hospitality and that they both shared in a good dinner furnished by Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Baker and Sam Hudson. Judging by the report Pete makes we should think he enjoyed campaigning. It ought to be easy for him to make a canvass. His twenty years resi- r dence in the county has made him familiar with the story of our pro gress and has given him an ac- C quaintance among the people that those who have been here but two or three years cannot possess. The county was almost a wilder ness when he came and built his liouse on a "claim" and began to make a home for himself and his family. Through all the vicissi- ; uds that we have passed he still remained. He had confidence in he country and he continued to ; icquire property and to make ) 'ricncls until today finds him with f i good established business , a well a urnishcd home , an interesting 'arnily and a host of friends.

Three new suits charging cattle men in the western part of Ne braska with illegaly fencing 240- 000 of government land , were filed Saturday in federal courb. In each case a mandatory injunction is prayed for to compel the cattle men to remove the barbed wire from the alleged unlawful inclos- ures. ures.Two Two of the suits are brought a- gainst ranchmen in Hooker coun ty , and the third is against ranch men in Sheridan county the same county in which John and Herman Krause , sentenced Friday , had fenced the government domain an offense for which they were convicted at the May term of court. The most important of the new s nts is the one against George G. Ware and others in Hooker coun ty. He is a representative of the U. B. I. Land & Cattle company , a corporation which is charged with fencing 100,000 acres of gov ernment land in the Dismal river forest reserve. The ranch includes 200,000 acres , and half of it is al leged to beon the public domain , near Mullen. Within the large inclosure are other inclosures which the petition alleges are maintained by other ranchmen. They are made de fendants in the suit. They are Henry Hotfgaurd , Reuben W. Mahaffy , Robert H. Schimmin , Howard L. Dawson , Albert L. and George Dawson , Win. E. and Fred Black and Thomas B. Hoard. The second suit , almost equally important , is against Wm. Black and others. They are charged with fencing a little less than 100- 000 acres in the Dismal river for est reserve. To avoid a multiplic ity of suits the following ranch men are charged jointly in the pe tition with maintaining unlawful inclosures : Fred Black , Thomas Hoard , John Con way , Edward and George Sands , H. S. McMilan , Joseph Demi I and S. M. Cooper. The third suib is against Albert M. and A. M. Modisctt , two cattle men whose ranch is in Sheridan county. It is alleged in the in formation that they have fenced 40,000 acres of the public domain. These additional three suits will make about twenty-four which been placed on the trial docket. , The district attorney believes that these civil actions will be more efficacious in having the fences re moved than were the criminal pro ceedings under which the Krause brothers were convicted. Two special government agents submitted reports after making investigations for over a year. rhe petitions were made up from those reports which include a de scription of the land enclosed , and ilso a plat showing the exact sec- . ion and range across which the fences run. In the near future ther proceedings against illegal ences will follow. World-IIer- Ud. _ The Great Want Ad Paper.
