One of the most important issues
brought forward by the democrats is
government ownership of railroads,
and they are so divided on this ques
tion that in event of their success it
would be impossible for them to get
together on it
Supervisor district No. Three recog
nizes that its present representative
on the county board, John Swanson,
has been a faithful and efficient mem
ber. Whenever he made a promise to
his constituents it as always been'
fulfilled, and he is asking re-election
on his record during the but two
years. And his two year's experience
on the county board one year as
chairman, makes him all the better
qualified to look after the interests of
his district
When the issue this fall is put
squarely it means: Shall we repudi
ate the -present adnunistrationornot
If the democrats are successful in
electing a congress,, what would we
get? Government ownership of trunk
lines of railroads and state ownership
. of branch lines. This seems to be
their main issue. On the other hand
the success of the republican party
moans the endorsement 'of President
Roosevelt's administration, which has
passed the rate law, the free food bill,
the free alcohol bill and stands for the
practical execution of the anti-trails
laws aad other progressive legislation
for the people. The republican con
gressional candidate, Judge J. F.

didates, Messrs Saunders, Prowett and

. Judos Thomas H. Saunders,
Republican Candidate for State Senator.
Deeds are thoughts crystalized
judge the worth of a man to the country which produced him, and in, his
works we expect to find the true index
review, Judge T. H. Saunders, is a
American character and of the progressive spirit which promote public good
ia advancing' individual prosperity and conserving popular interests. His
portrait is presented in connection with this sketch. The Judge is a native
of New' York, born April 2nd, 1837. His father,Thomas Saunders, was a
native of New York and his mother of Connecticut His father died in the
year 1849 and his mother in 1889, both of them at Troy, N. Y.
In the city of his nativity Judge Saunders was raised to manhood, ac
quiringNhis education in the public schools and under private instruction.
However, observation, extensive reading' and a retentive memory have made
him a well informed man and he is now a man of broad general culture. At
theearly age of twelve years he started out to make his own way in the world
and learned the carriage makers trade, which he followed until his marriage
to Mary E. Hayner on September 27th, 1858 when they lived on a small
farm a few miles from Troy until the breaking out of the war of the rebellion,
which event .in the history of the nation changed the entire current of the
life of Judge Saunders. Responding to his country's call for troops he be
came a private in Company F, 2nd N.
.the Potomac m the 2nd, 70th (1st Excelsior) and the 86th N. Y. X He
was finally discharged and paid off on the 4th day of July, 1865, after four
years of valiant service. After the war was over Judge Saunders tried
to work at his trade, but his health was so impaired he found it impossible,
and he accepted a position at light work at Spencerport, N. Y., but again
finding himself unequal to the task, he removed to a small farm. At length
determining to try his fortune in the west he came to Nebraska in 1871 and
direct to Columbus, and as soon as the Platte could be crossed in the spring
he located ia Polk county, securing a homestead and built a cabin 12x14, re
siding there for four years, in 1876 he moved to Colfax county six miles east
of Columbus, bought an 80 and tried to operate it as a ranch and raise cattle
. In 1882 he moved back to Polk county and settled at the county seat,
Osceola, and was elected county judge of the county and while serving in that
capacity he took up the study of law and was admitted to the bar in 1887 by
Judge T. I. Norval. He was also admitted to practice in the supreme court
of the state and in all the departments of Washington, District of Columbia,
and has been connected with much of the important litigation heard in his
district Aside from his duties on the bench he served as Clerk of the Dis
trict Court for four years, and was the first Clerk of the District Court of
Polk county, Nebraska. The Judge is a prominent Mason since February,
1864, has served as Master of the Masonic lodges for nine years and at pres
ent is a member of Lebanon Lodge No. 58 Orient Chapter No. 18, or both
lodge-Chapter c Commandery ot Columbus. .He also belongs to the Odd
Fellows, has passed through the chairs, has been District Deputy Grand
Master of the state, and 'also Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge I. O.O.
F. He maintains his relations with his old army comrades through his mem
bership in the Grand Army of the Republic, has served several times as com
mander of Posts both at Columbus and Osceola. He has' lived in Butler,
Polk, Colfax and Platte counties, and has. done business in each of these
counties for the past thirty-five years. , '-
antious scruples have prevented the
great judge from traveling around his
district on passes to hold court at tlie
different county seats, they have uot
prevented him from asking for and
accenting passes for his family while
holding official position. In a letter
published in the Newman Grove Re
porter Judge Graves, himself, con
fesses to one case where he asked for
passes over the Minneapolis & Omaha
road in the fall of 1901 for his wife
aad her mother from Pender to Minne
apolis and return. Attempting to ex
plaia the circumstances, Judge Graves
writes that "this is the only road which
eaters my district," and by inference
the only road interesteoVin litigation
on which he might have to decide. In
a nutshell it transpires that Judge
Graves draws the line exceeding fine
that as judge he is careful not to ride
oa'a pass for fear of the effect it might
have oa his political future, but has
bo objections to placing himself under
obligations to the railroads on the
quiet for free transportation for his
wife aad her mother, which he would
otherwise presumably have to pay for
out of his owb Docket
If, as the learned judge says, "there
is an impropriety hi public' officers and
especially judicial officers accepting
and using pannes or free transporta
tion' for themselves, it must be no
lam aa impropriety to ask and accept
names for members of his immediate
family. What right has he, then, to
pretend tea superior virtue over those
who have asked for passes, but made
bo attempt to cover it up?

but a glance to discover that life was

ounce bottle of carbolic acid with
nearly half of it gone. .
Henry Was a young man about 18
years of age and worked for his uncle,
Ad Dbuthit living west of town. He
was a young man of good habits and
not given to despondency. He had
been around town all day and had
talked to several parties about his
girl going back on him, but did not
seem to be. particularly worried on
that account About 9 o'clock he
went to the Dewey and pu( in a call
for his father at Cushing, but after
waiting several minutes, he gave up
getting him and said he guessed he
would go to bed. He told the clerk
to call him about 8 o'clock. This was
the hut seen of the young man alive.
He was a "member of the Royal
Highlanders and stood well with his
associates and those who had his ac
quaintace. His father was notified
and .came at once for the remains.
They were taken' Sunday evening to
Cushing for burial. Ad Douthit ac

coat a shade or two darker and edged
with a strip of black fleece; a peaked
woolen cap and a cane, and you have

In Serria Is primitive. At sunup folks
rise, take their, raid, or schnapps, and
go to the flelds.to work. Their meal Is
brought to them at noon and again In
the evening, for they often work until
sunset And so life goes on and on.
Across the bluffs that border the river

often in white suits with red girdles,

but here the; earth seems stubborn and

the national fete day. A traveler tells
how he helped to celebrate it one year
at one of the climbing centers In the
Valals by eating the sumptuous dinner
provided by the hotel without extra

play and a bonfire lighted high on the
mountain side and shouting "Hourra!"
at the end of a patriotic speech extoll
ing the ancient military glories and
present republican democracy of Swit
serland. Next morning came the
strange sequel.. The orator of the oc
casion, the most distinguished native
visitor in the place, was appealed to
as one who would certainly know the
name of the Swiss president bnt even
he could not remember it Nobody
ever can. The name of that unassum

in Switzerland than that of the lieu

In Turkey there is a great consump
tion of the milk of the. buffalo, the
common cow, the goat and the ewe,
but it is hardly ever used in a natural
state. According to a paper read at
the London Academy of Medicine, the
milk is considerably reduced. After
slow cooling the milk is treated with a
ferment taken from the previous day's
supply. In a few hours a curd forms,
which is called yaghoun. The prepa
