A Safe ,
Simple System
The system of paying
by check was devised
by all men for any
man for you. It is
suited to the need of
any business , either
large or small. It makes
no difference whether
we pay out § 10 or § 10000
a month. A checking
account will serve your
needs.
Pay by check , the
method puts system in
to your business and
-gives you a record of
every transaction.

of last week. He was 50 years
old the ISth of last October and
was large and strong. He worked
'
on North Table helping to make
hay and also in Valentine at odd
jobs. He was a willing worker
but his concentration of mind and
lack of attention alternately confused - '
fused him and he preferred to be
told what to do. He boarded for
awhile at the Chicago House.

Several inquiiies have been made
for lost , wandering and missing
men since the discovery of a man
found dead in the Niobrara river
Sunday , Oct. 18. Most inquiries
were for men who would not an-
Bwer the description at all of the
body found. The attention of Wm.
Williams and wife 12 miles north
west of Ainsworth were called to the
picture of the dead man taken sev
eral days after his discovery , it being
surmised that the picture bore a
striking resemblance to their son
John Isaac \ \ illiams who left his
home at Ainsworth a year ago and
had not been heard of since. Mrs.
Williams and her son Harvey ac
cordingly drove to Johnstown and
came up to investigate , the first of
the week. The body was exhumed
today ( Thursday ) and identified by
Mrs. Williams as her son. There
appears to be no record of his hav
ing registered in town unless under
an assumed name. J. I. Williams
leffc a wife at Ainsworfch and stated
lie was going west ; to find work. He
had f jimerly run a restaurant in
AinswortLh.

There is no argument that can bp
offered in support ol county opt ;
which cannot by met ami overcome by
those in defense of the right of a con.
munity to manage its own affairs.
One reason why prohibition failed in
Oklahoma was because the bootlag-
gers swarmed into the new state , en
abling the negro to get all the booze
he could drink. The prime object o ,
the dispensary law is to prevent the
negro from getting whisky.
Agents of the Anti-Saloon league are
telliug of the prohibition wave said to
be sweeping the country , but they fail
to say that the extension of dry terri
tory in the north has been wholly un
der state laws providing for the high
license , local option system.
Sentiment for statutory prohibition
has made headway in the south only ,
although two southern states sell
liquor as beverages and all save Geor
gia have high license laws. There is a
growth of temperance sentiment , but
it is not for statutory prohibition. The
agitation in the south is based upon a
desire to keep liquor out of the reach
of colored men.

Even the republican pipers as
far east as Massachusetts are say-1
ing that thp liquor interest helped
defeat Governor Sheldon of Ne-
bra ka. Pprhaps those eastern
editor1 ? got their information from
the dinky republican paper of XP-
braska. Sheldon's own actions de
feated him. The people of Nebras
ka wanted a bigger and broader
man for governor so turned him
down. The liquor interests had
nothing to do with the vote of
SheHdan county , which gave Shall-
enberge a majority over Sheldon ,
yet gave a majority to most of the
other republican state ticket.
