Ko\\le : N. S. ROWLEY. X. S. Rowley is the democratic candidate for county commissions of the 2nd Dist. of Cherry count.y and his friends regardless of party believe him to be worthy of theii support. Nels is one of the earliest settlers of Cherry county and drove cattle over the sand hills from North Platte to the John Enlow ranch nearly 30 years ago. There wasn't many people in Cherry county then. Four years later William Erickson , Charley Sherman and Nels Rowley were punching COWF for Russel Watts of North Platte. They came to the country with 2200 head of cattle and held them for awhile in the valleys of the Boardman and Gordon Creeks. They found the grass tall and the water good. It was an ideal place for the cow punchers to rest awile and graze their herd. These boys began to dream of a home in the hay flats of Cherry county and finally decided to each take a home-stead. In casting lots it was decided that Nels Rowley was to drop out of the company of cow punchers and begin to build a cabin and put up some hay for winter. The other two went on with the bunch of cattle to Mon tana , expecting to return in the fall , to their homesteads. Nels dropped out of the camp of good fellows , gave up the cheer ful evening fireside of the cowboys to build a home in Cherry county. There wasn't much to build with. There wasn't a house within 20 miles , excepting the Waite ranch. But Nels got an axe. went down on the Snake river , chopped logs and hauled them over the wild prairies of the coyote and the rattlesnake and built a cabin to live in during the long , cold winter that follow ed. He had put up hay for some stock that the three had bought with their wages or taken in ex change for work. It was the be ginning of three humble homes of three sturdy young pioneers. In the fall Mr. Rowley's compan ions returned from the far north west. My dear readcrsyou can imagine the happy meeting of these bovs and how they gathered around the cheerful grate in Nels Rowleys cabin and related their experiences since last they met. Ask. those gentlemen about it. They can toll you about the piivations of early life here though they art'not : iven Ho complaining und their life hero in those early day ichapter of hitherto unwritten history of IK Cherry county. B u t t h e ; y e ri j o y c d themselves. The. } were not looking for t h ( easy side of a job. They migh tell you of their many experience ; the lonely solitude of the wintei evenings when the most cheerfu hearts grow sad. It was not al sunshine but they made the mos of it. They stood together a ; friends then and arc and have beer ever since those early da.As. ( Charley Sherman later gave uj his homestead and moved over 01 the Schlagle nearer Valentine \Vm. Erickson also sold his Home stead to N.e . & Bachelor soivu years : igo and moved down on hh wife's place which she lad in UK meantime taken up before hei marriage and whqrc they still re side. ) Mr. Rowleyas married t ( Miss Ella Felch of Simeon ii 1SSS and they still live in their ing cabin of cedar logs which has been made into the mosl comfortable of homes. There's several rooms in the house no and Mrs. Rowley is a good house keeper and a good cook as every' body knows who has had occasior to pass that way and stop to b ( entertained at the hospitable home of N. S , Rowley. The story would be incomplete without mentioning Miss Mam their daughter who is now a young lady of 15 summers. ADMITS STATE WILL 8E CARRIED BY BRYAN Says Sheldon is a , Four Flush- er and That SHiallenberg- er Will 35c Elected. Views of a Republican 1'oli- ticiam on the Political Sit uation in Lincoln. Neb. , Sept. 12. A re publican candidate for the legisla ture was in Lincoln this week ; one who wears his republicanism about as straight as any man in the party : one who has been promi nently identified with the /party ever since he was old enough to vote. ' 'Are there any republicans in your count.y who are for Bryan * " he was asked. "Yes , " he answered , unhesita tingly , ' 'there are a good many. I could name you twenty right in my locality alone. More than that. I rknow some who are going to vote for Shallcnberger. I shall not be surprised the slightest to see the ? tate carried for Hryan and to see Shallcnbergerelected. If ] weren't in politcs J don't know but what I should be for both of them my self. But I've got to keep rny re cord straight. I'm in the repub lican party and I'm in politics. Consequently I'll go out and make speeches and ask the people to rote for Taft and tell them what a line goverenor Sheldon is , but it's iH fake. "In my county people are get- Ling the idea that Sheldon is prot- , y much of a four-flusher and think ic has meddled in local afl'airs in :15tlerent : parU of the state wheie tie shouldn't , have done so. This nay sound strange to yon , coming from me , but it's so.

With Shel don after Burkett and Victor Rose water after / Brown you'll notice the Bee is'nt going out of its way to make Brown uduly prominent we're just the happi est famiiy ever. 1 happen to know alt-o that Brown hates Sheldon most cordially. When you hear Brown out making speeches and saying fine things about Sheldon , you can put it down as straight that he is muUering under his breath. 'God' forgive : ne for the lies. 1 hope they choke him. ' "Honestly , I'm tired of the buncombe and demagoguery thats centered around in the state house Understand , I wouldn't for a min ute like to sec the situation such as it was in the legislative sessions of 190u and 1905 , where we'd have to ask the railroad lobby how to [ vote every time a bill was up , but j this thing of always playing for 'effect ' , of making speeches and do ing nothing to back them up , makes me tired.
