Who Foots the Bill ?
Dear Sir.
We are authorized by the
committee having in charge
the candidacy of Gov. John
son of Minnesota for the
democratic nomination for
president of the U. S. to of
fer you , free of charge and
express prepaid , plate mat
ter of a purely democratic
character , discussing the de
bated topics of the day from
the democratic standpoint as
Gov. Johnson sees them.
If you care for this please
sign and mail inclosed post
card.
THE "WESTERN
UXION.
Thus we see that someone ,
or a combination , is willing
to foot the bill for the pur
pose of discussing uthe de
bated topics of flic day , "
"of purely democratic chai-
acter , " "from the demo
cratic standpoint as ( TOY.
Johnson sees them. "
What can they hope to
win in Nebraska ?
Our delegates are already
named and instructed for
AY. J. Bryan.
Can it be that GOY. John
son is lending his name for
the purpose of getting second
end place on the ticket , or
is it a scheme to detract
from our great Nebraskan
and divide the sentiment for
next election ? If it is for
the former purpose we
should be glad to "assist him.
But if he does not admire
Mr. Bryan and wishes to
displace Bryan with him
self , then he will find Xe-
braska set against him. If
! lie is not the type of man
Bryan is we want less of
I
him. Anyway , we arc will
ing to leave the selection of
second place to our dele
gates. They will do their
best.
A merchant isn't going
to ask who's going to use
this coal or who's going to
warm by this coal that he
sells , but we know a man
who complains that lie can't
advertise in a paper that has
advertisements of saloons.
Then , he , apparently , does
not want business from people
ple who run bad , bad places
but we haven't heard yet of
his refusing to sell them
coal or lumber or anything
that lie has to sell that they
need to keep them going
But this same party used to
send in his "free reading
notices" of "free reading
matter , " etc. We , don't like
to refer to these things but
some of these people are
taking an active part in re
questing persons taking THE
DEMOCRAT to have their pa
per discontinued , and , in a
friendly way , we suggest
their inconsistency. We
might retaliate by asking
our friends to not trade with
these people who are work
ing against us , but we shall
not do so. We want them
[ to trade where they will.
Their trade does not hurt
me , nor them , and they arc
not getting enough to work
over time , so let them sleep.
The last meeting of the East
Division of Cherry County Teach
ers' Association will be held in the
high school building in Valentine ,

GRANDDADDY-'S CUFF LINKS.
The Next Rainy Day Hufct For Mate-
Ices Pieces cf Jewelry.
Of cor.rro you have rum mag- ; ! and
searched through all of grandmother's
and auntie's jewel boxes , trunks and
cellar chests for trinkets and jewelry
with which to bedeck your vain per
son.
son.You
You have found many things per
haps that you used in ways that would
seem weird and peculiar to those same
ancestors , be they in thi.-5 world or tlio
net.
But have you taken possession of
gran'lfalher's or tranduncle's or even
daddy's odd cuff links ?
If uol , the next rainy day go on a
still hunt and gather together those
male-loss , neglected articles you will
be astonished what a varied collection
you will probably find and the next
bright day hie yourself to your pet
jeweler or "man who mends things"
and have him make hatpins of them
for you.
The cost is trilling , the result usual
ly more than satisfactory.
You will have your "woman's weap
on" in a style as odd and a design
equally as pretty as the long priced
ones you have so coveted in the shop
window and much more interosting.
One girl unearthed a topaz cuff link
and , deciding its old fashioned setting
to be too dainty and prcttj' to be hid
den among the puffs and malines of
her headgear , had the back taken off ,
a ring put on the lop. and. lo. when
hung from a tiny gold chain around
her pretty neck , worn with a stunning
costume of brown , with a touch of old
'
blue , it was just wonderfully pretty.
Tns Criminal New Zealsnclers. ,
The original New Zealanders were
known as the most ferocious cannibals
and the most warlike savages. They
were big , gaunt fellows , of immense
muscular force and great sagacity.
These savage Xew Xeahuidors. though
they ate their enemies , interred their
ovn jdeail , and they believed that the
third day after burial the heart sepa
rated itself from the corpse and was
carried to the clouds by an attendant
spirit.
Will Pay A One Day Visit
To Valentine , May 4.
The Noted Hot Springs of
Arkansas to be Brought
to Valentine for One
Day Only at the
Donoher.
Word has just been received
here that Dr. Ben YV. Kinsey , who
is chief of staff of the Hot Springs
Doctors , who have their permanent
institute located at 14th and O
streets , Lincoln , would pay a one"
day visil to Valentine on May 4 ,
and while here will receive pa
tients at the Donoher hotel.
This visit of Dr. Kinsey's to
our city is for advertising pur
poses ; that is , Dr. Kinsey solicits
only a few difficult cases cases
that other doctors have failed to
cure , These cases that Dr. Kin
sey secures and cures will be good
advertisements of the Hot Springs
system of all home treatment.
This wonderful Hot Springs
system of all home treatment which
Dr. Kinsey is bringing th this
city has cured thousands of pa
tients and is endorsed by the
United States government , as is
attested by the fact that the United
States government owns the Hot
Springs of Arkansas and has es
tablished its army and navy hos
pitals there , where soldiers are
sent after all other methods have
tailed to cure.
Dr. Kinsey discovered the se
crets of these world-famous Hot
Springs of Arkansas and so per
fected a system of home treatment
that those who cannot afford the
time or money to go to Hot Springs
for treatment can be treated in
their own home without incon
venience , annoyance or publicity.
These patients who are treated in
their homes will receive the same
benefit that they would get if they
went direct to Hot Springs.
The Hot Springs Doctors hive
established institutes in many of
the larger cities of the United
States so as to bring this wonder
ful treatment withing the reach of
all. Thousands of letters of high
recommendation of this Hot
Springs System of home treat
ment are received daily at the
various institutes from all parts of
the United States. If you are
sick and suffering and want to be
made well and happy call on Dr.
Kinsey when he arrives , but un
less you are sick and really desire
his services , kindly do not take up
his time as he will be here but
one day : he will be very busy
with his patients who are in earn
est. The doctor requests that
married ladies be accompanied by
their husbands.
Eemember , the doctor will be
here but one day , May 4th , and
while here will receive patients at
the Donoher hotel.
