"The way to rise is to have high ideals and to live up to them little by little; some errors are the common lot but the climbing at last brings one to the apex of the mountain where the spirit becomes liberated." (Lilian Whiting. Around Genoa and Platte Center the farmers are losing a great many hogs from cholera. Will Welch, near Genoa, has recently lost 80 head, and J. T. Harms on Mrs. Williams' farm near Platte Center has lost a luge number.

In The Journal's supplement to day, the idea which Candidate Bryan said he got from some hogs, is made to do duty in an unexpected manner. Uncle Sam does not propose having the hogs run promiscuously over the fields not intended for them. Henry C. Carrig last week sold his farm which lies two miles east of Platte Center, and consisting of 320 acres to R. S. Dickinson, the consideration being $6,000.

Bradley of Wyoming, who spoke at Norfolk recently, said that he "came from a state where woman has as much influence as a man when it comes to voting. For the first time in the his tory of America, women will have the opportunity of voting for the president this year. In Wyoming one of the Mc Kinley electors is a woman, and she is going to be elected, too." George W. Ambrose of Omaha will apeak here this (Wednesday) evening, for the Bryan side of the political ques tion. Republicans are by no means un willing to listen to their political opponents nor do they endeavor to keep people away from their meetings, be cause the more study that is given to the subjects, the stronger shine forth the truths of republicanism. The North American Bee-Keepers' Association will meet at Lincoln, this state, on the 7th of October, beginning at 9 o'clock a. m., and closing with the evening session on the 8th. We notice that Mrs. J. N. Heater of this city is the first on the program, her theme being, The Past and Future of Bee-Beeping. A number of interesting topics are down for discussion, and it is expected that the attendance will be large. CoL Hardy and A. L. Bixby de bated on the money question in Lincoln Saturday evening, before a crowded house, at the Y. M. C. A. hall. As UBual, Bixby kept the crowd in shrieks of laughter. The Journal says it was the most peculiar debate of the campaign. Bixby started out by saying it was a great pleasure to face the audience before him and tell them all he knew in twenty minutes. He had given the sub ject a great deal of prayerful study. Word was received here last week by friends of the family, that Myra, eldest daughter of A. M. Jennings, had died at Fitzgerald, Ga on the night of Sept. 18th, being found dead in bed on the morning of the 19th. Her sister Florence, who had been sleeping with her, had not noticed anything unusual. She had had fever, but was thought to be improving. The funeral took place on the 20th. Miss Myra was fourteen years old. The bereaved family have the sincere sympathy of their old friends here in their irreparable loss. The populists met at Platte Center Saturday last and endorsed the demo cratic county ticket aa heretofore named, and selected delegates who, it is understood, will favor the nomination of N. 8. Hyatt for float representative. So that populists are now asked by their party leaders to vote for Gondring for senator, Moran for representative, and O'Brien for county attorney. It is to be presumed, of coarse, that aome will do so, but it remains to be seen how many will thus permit themselves to be trans ferred bodily into a hostile political camp, at the nod of party managers. The plain way out for many of them will be to vote for Gray for senator, Smith for representative, Garlow for county attorney and Thomas for float repre sentative. It was a matter of considerable re gret with those who heard Hon. L L. Hauser's speech Thursday afternoon last at the tent that thousands of voters were not present, instead of hundreds. Mr. Hauasr is an author of note and a tea merchant in India. For a number of years be has been thus engaged, and is very thoroughly versed in the history of this (his own) country, and also of India. He presented a picture, such as is seldom heard, of the abject poverty and wretchedness of the native popula tion of India, and showed how their present condition is the direct result of free trade and the silver standard. Notwithstanding the abundant coal and iron in India, the English government dictates policies which require shipment af manufactured goods from England, and thus even all railroad iron and sup plies come from England to the detri ment of the home commerce. In a aiaular way the silver standard works against India. Mr. niuser implored his countrymen not to be fooled by either free trade or free silver. SrJg-y.Tt fe;...Jc.,i; J.l.$hx Thursisy's Bally. Last Thursday night will long be re membered by republicans aa one of the great occasions in Columbus. Captain Kilian, aa marshal of the evening, got his hosts together, and what with the cavalrymen carrying torches, the footmen with torches, ban ners, eta, the music of the band, Monroe brass and the martial strains of the drum corps, the 'din of the numerous tin-horns, there was plenty of evidence that young and old are interested in the result of the campaign. The large tent which had been erect ed on the vacant lot east of Huber's, was packed to its utmost capacity long before the speaking began many not being able to get under its protecting canopy. Chairman McAllister intro duced the speaker of the evening, Hon. Ben Butterworth of Ohio, who held his audience for two hours in a logical, witty and patriotic appeal for proteo- uon ana souna money. j it was just sucn a speecn as becomes a great orator upon a great theme, and was highly appreciated by the multi tude present Laying down a few general principles upon which all' are agreed, he made plain the desirability and the necessity of republican policies for the conduct of our national affairs in this crisis. The speech of the famous Ohioan bristled with points from first to last and his illustrations were all apt, and telling, when he proved that the man who has nothing to sell is the one who is furthest from market; that the law of supply and demand rules in the com mercial world, as gravity does in the material world; that what is now chiefly needed is circulation of the money we have; that the policy of the republican party is all right viz: the largest use of both gold and silver as primary money compatible with keeping every dollar of our currency as good as every other dollar, and as good as that of any other nation on earth; that, with protection, reciprocity and sound money, we can, in conjunction with Germany and with France and Belgium, compel England, if necessary, to true bimettalism among the nations of the earth; that the free and unrestricted coinage of silver by the United States alone would be an impossibility, and the attempt to do so would be disastrous to us. After giving a pleasing account of a personal interview with McKinley a few weeks ago, Mr. Butterworth devoted a few minutes to showing the importance of electing congressmen who would sus tain hiui in his policies, in which con nection he paid a high tribute to Ross L Hammond, the republican nominee for this district He declared there was no longer any doubt of MoKinley's triumphant election, the thing now to work for is, to make it practically unan imous, so overwhelming, in fact, that confidence will be fully restored, and at once, in order that the country may be placed on the road to prosperity again. The Clear Creek Glee club, and the Genoa Glee club rendered several selec tions each and were heartily encored, every line being a decided hit. Sidney C. Gray. The republican nominee for senator was born in Chenango county, New York, Nov. 28, 1839, and in 1847, with his father's family, became a resident of Princeton, Illinois. From there they moved onto a farm in the eastern part of Bureau county, Illinois, remaining there till 1861, When Mr. Gray started farming for himself near Spring Valley, Bureau county, Illinois. After this he engaged in the grain trade and general merchandise, until he moved to this state in the spring of 1883, engaging first in farming and afterwards in the hard ware business. At Arlington, Illinois, he served as member of -the school board ten years and was also president of the city council (with duties of mayor). Here Mr. Gray has served two terms as mem ber of the city council, being elected president of the council nnder the mayoralty of D. Schupbach and G. W. Phillips. In mental training, Mr. Gray has evi dently utilized the advantages of the common school of his boyhood home, afterwards attending Knox college, at Galesburg, Illinois, and graduating there in the scientific department His nomination as a candidate for the upper house of the state legislature came to him without solicitation on his part and be will make the canvass in the district (Platte and Colfax countiesX to win for republican principles and re publican methods. He believes public business should be conducted on the same general principles as a man con ducts his private business, and when he gets to Lincoln as senator, it will be found that in ability to see and under stand, and also to enforce bis views by argument, he will in that body have few equals, probably no superior. It is safe to say that in his charge the interests of this district at the capitol during his term of office, will be fully looked after. Real Estate Traasfer.

JaokMaoColl took a homestead ad joining what is now the city of Lexing ton, in 1870. His ancestors were Scotch, and his early manhood was spent on a Canadian farm. He left home in 1869 and immediately set out for the west His first work was as a laborer for the Union Pacific R. R. Co., and the follow ing year he took up the homestead where he now lives. From the first be succeeded, because he had learned busi ness methods as well as farm routine. The first county clerk of Dawson county was removed for cause, and MacColl was appointed in his place. He held the office thirteen years, although he took it in the beginning under protest. He has never been an office-seeker, nor a politi cian in the accepted sense. He served one term in the Nebraska legislature, and was a capable, conscientious mem ber. In 1890 his friends in western Ne braska urged him to become a candidate for the republican nomination for gov ernor, and he reluctantly consented. L. D. Richards was nominated. Four years later he was an active candidate, but the nomination fell to T. J. Majors. In 1896 his friends were as loyal and enthu siastic as ever, and they went into the state convention with many new recruits and nominated him July 1. Jack MacColl is called the Nebraska "commoner.'' Such he is in fact He is plain and easily approachable. He is sympathetic, cordial and warm-hearted. He is a friend of the laborer as well as the man of business snd is loved by one and esteemed by the other. Personall he is close-mouthed and conservative, but all the time strictly business. He will make an ideal governor. The Journal editor adds to the above, that in his acquaintance with Mr. Mac Coll he has found him true to his polit ical principles; a man of generous im pulses, faithful end loyal to his friends; he has abundant good common sense and a judgment trained to select the better ways of accomplishing good re sults. A moving wagon drove into town Monday with "Bryan or -Bust" painted on the canvas, and if their own prophe cy be true, McKinley will be elected, as the wagon broke down on a business street Cemfert to California.

OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS The Republican Tarty s State C'ai didatcs. STAID HIGH II PUBLIC FAV0B. Ticket Cms T It is bow nearly three months siace the Republican state ticket was placed in BorsiaatioB, and during the whole of this time the opponents of Republican ism in Nebraska have not been able to breathe a word derogatory to any can didate, or to assail the ticket as a whole on any material point. As a matter of fact the ticket as a whole is the best that has been put in the field in this atate for many years. The comment of the press of Ne braska upon the nomination of Jack MacColl has been the most flattering ever accorded the candidate of any party in this state for the gubernatorial office, and the enthusiasm that was shown in the beginning has not only not abated but has grown with each week of the campaign, His canvass thus far has been almost entirety in the western part of the stats, which section is respond ing nobly and promises the greatest Re publican rote shown since the inception of the Populist movement. It is not necessary to dwell upoa Jack MacCoU's personal fitness or business qualifica tions, because they are well known to all men. It is enough to say that his rssnlinsss and great-heartedness are sure passports to the affections of the people, and there is ground for the be lief frequently expressed that he will lead the entire Republican ticket, even though the ticket be exceptionally strong through and through. Orlando Teff t is one of the pioneers of Nebraska, and has a peculiar hold upon the people of Cass county, where he has resided for so many years. That regard extends to ail parts of the state where he is known, and that is throughout nearly all of the length and breadth of Nebraska. He has held various posi tions of public trust and had served sev eral terms in the legislature of the state without one word having ever been breathed against his personal character or official acts. He will make a capable, honorable, conscientious presiding offi cer of the senate, and if emergency should ever require, would fill with sat isfaction the executive office. Joel A. Piper, who has served one term as secretary of state and was re nominated unanimously, by acclama tion, was entirely deserving of that com pliment. He has conducted the affairs of the office and served as a member of the various state boards to which he be longs with both intelligence and fidelity to the public interest8,having no thought except the interests of the people of the whole state. His election cannot be unanimous, like his nomination, but it will follow as the reward of good offi cial conduct. The nomination of P. O. Hedlund for auditor was more than a recognition of the Swedish-American and the other foreign voting element of the state. He has served nearly four years as deputy auditor and has proven to the people his fitness in every respect to fill the of fice as its chief. He is one of Nebraska's best business men, he is a high-minded gentleman of irreproachable character, and is in fact one of the kind of men that all men delight to honor. All of the best qualities of manhood and the highest attributes of the sue cessfol and honorable business man are combined in Charles E. Casey, the par ty's nominee for state treasurer. He has been known for many years in the business and political circles of Nebraska and never has an evil insinuation been breathed against his name. As a banker he has been conservative, safe, and hon orable in bis dealings with all men. This fact is attested by the remarkable unan imity of sentiment in his favor through out southern Nebraska where he is best known, and by the people of all parties in his own county who join in the testi monial of confidence that has been sent out to the entire people of the state. The office of attorney general has never been better managed than during the incumbency of A. S. Churchill, the nominee for re-election. He has shown himself to be a lawyer of ability, and no personal interests or political prejudices have ever swayed in the least the decis ions that he has been called upon to ren der. His re-lection will be a just recog nition of his professional abilities and personal integrity. Captain H. O. Russell, the old soldier candidate, is as brave and fearless in the discharge of his official duties as he was courageous in helping to beat down armed secession. He is a faithful and competent official. He knows nothing but his duty and he does it at all times. He is a strong man personally and his candidacy adds strength to the entire ticket The candidates for supreme judges are Judge M. P. Kinkaidof O'Neill, and Hon. Robert Ryan of Lincoln. Judge Kinksid's popularity has been attested a couple of times by his election to the district judgeship in a Populist district. Mr. Ryan is one of the leading lawyers of the state and stands high at the Lan caster county bar. Both are well qual ified for service upon the supreme bench. The electoral candidates are: Frank J. Sadilek, J. E. Hontz, A. J. Burn ham, A. O. Foster, Sol Draper, G. A. Derby, J. L. McPheeley and M. L. Freese. Every voter who wants to be counted for McKinley and Hobart, and that is what a majority of the voters of Nebraska want, will place a check mark opposite these names upon the official ballot. The Republican coneressional candi dates in the six districts are as follows: In the First, J. B. Strode, of the city of Lincoln, who has served one term and whose re-eiection is assured. Dave Mercer has served two terms in the Sec ond or Omaha district and wiil be re turned for the third term by a rousing majority. Ross Hammond, the capa ble young newspaper man of Fremont, has been nominated in the Third dis trict, and while he has to meet the uni ted opposition of the Democrats, Popu lists and free silverites, he has a host of friends and there is little doubt of his election. Congressman Hainer, again a candidate in the Fourth district, has made an admirable record and his re election is a foregone conclusion. Con gressman Andrews has a walkaway for the re-election in the Fifth, as a result of the excellent service that he has given in the past- A. E Cady, the "giant" of the big Sixth, is making a magnificent campaign against odds, but his ability aad honesty are recognized by the manses and reportB from the district give every assurance that he will over come the fusion majority that he had to meet at the outset of his campaign. All of the candidates of the Republi can party in Nebraska stand for safe, conservative, and a businesslike admin istration of public affairs, and their elec tion along with the majority that Ne braakswill give the national ticket, will 19 handjiB hand with the return of bet- i&feaafeaSsyi HEM MGATZ k CO., Staple and Fancy Groceries, GLASSWARE LAMPS.

Brraa aad tfca But O: And now we are told by the local Bryan organ that 90 per cent of the sugar beet growers of Pierce county will vote for Bryan. If this were literally true it would only show that the sugar beet growers of Nebraska are willing to abandon beet growing and go back to growing corn and oats. Nobody has tried to stab the beet sugar industry aa persistently as has William Jennings Bryan and nobody has worked harder than he to give the foreign sugar beet grower preference over the American sugar beet grower. The best sugar producers of Germany, Austria, France and Belgium receive bounties on all the sugar they export to the United States. But Mr. Bryan ia not willing to give the American sugar beet raisers any protection either in the shape of bounty or import duty to en able them to compete in their own mar ket with the foreign product raised by half -paid labor. Mr. Bryan's principle has been: "Buy in the cheapest mar ket and let home industry take care of itself the best it can." The sugar beet growers of Nebraska know all this and that is one reason why they will sot vote for Bryan. In voting against him they will only be carrying out Bryan's own precept that they should cast their votes for their own interests. Omaha Bee. CM Hlaararlt. "Kvwry Flaw C Hla Bala That galy Wheat Tanas Meaay. In 1867 the price of wheat ranged from f 1.55 to 92.87 per bushel, and the per capita circulation of money in the United States was $18.38. In 1877 the price of wheat ranged from $1.01 to fl-76 per bushel aad the per capita circulation of money was $15.58. In 1887 the price of wheat ranged from 66 cents to 943 cents per bushel and the per capita circulation of money was 122.45. In 1894 the price of wheat ranged between 50 cents and 65 cents per bushel and the per capita circulation of money was $24.30. If more money is ail that is needed to insure a better price for wheat, will aome of the Bryanite school of poli ticians bring their ponderous intellects to bear upon these figures and explain how it is that wheat commanded three times more money when the per capita circulation was from $15 and $18 than it does now when the per capita circu lation is about $23?
