Mrs. Frank Hidden went to Columbus
Sunday to spend a week with relatives.
Last Monday morning as Miss Leoca
dia Czapla. a lG-year-old daughter of
Chas. Ozapla was driving a hay rake,
something happened and the team ran
away. The tongue to the rake broke
olT short and Miss Leocadia was thrown
in front of the steel teeth, but the short
end of the tongue threw the rake teeth
high in the air and passed over her with
out striking her Innly. Il was a narrow
escape for the girl from a horrible death.
X. other damage was done, as the team
was soon caught.
Lust spring when we saw i:has.
Wooster's peach orchard in full bloom,
we thought that it was one of the most

day we went through the same orchard
and saw the ripening peaches fairly
breaking down many of the limbs, not
withstanding the ravages of the late
frost. Mr. Wooster was there busily en
gaged in gathering the luscous fruit for
customers, and he informed us that he
had sold about 200 bushels and would
have about that mauy more to dispose
of.

Some of the finest peaches and pears
ever grown in Nebraska were raised this

are of the Alberta variety and late enough

compares very favorably with that ship

Married, Sunday, September 6th, at the
home of the bride's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Wm. Loseke, northwest of town.
Miss Anna L. Loseke, and Mr. Herbert
Buettner, of Madisoa county. We learn
that this was a very quiet wedding, none
"but relatives being present. The happy
couple took the train here Monday noon
for quite an extended wedding trip, and
on their return will make their borne on
the groom's farm in Madison county.
Mrs. J. J. Began and her daughter,
Mrs. Cubbison and baby met with quite
a serious accident Wednesday morning.
They were driving down a steep bill near
Charley Schuler's residence, when their
horse became unmangable and upset the
buggy, throwing them out. Mrs. Be
gan received a fractured rib and the
baby was scratched on its head and arm
and rendered unconscious for a time.
Mrs. Cubbison escaped without injury.
They were on their way to the pasture
where they keep their cows.
As Tuesday morning's freight train
was pulling into town the engineer dis
covered a horse stuck in the first trussle
south of town. Fortunately he discover
ed.it in time to stop the train before it
struok the horse. The train crew pulled
the animal out, but it had evidently
been in there several hours and-was so
badly battered up that it died during
the same day. It was an old gray beast
and evidently of little value. No one
found who could be induoed to claim
ownership so the section men buried it.
Last week Robert Gentleman, of Oma
ha, sold his farm, two miles west of
town, on the grade, to E. H. Chambers,
of Columbus. The farm contains two
hundred acres, one hundred and sixty
acres being on the north side of the road
and forty on the south. The considera
tion was 177 an acre. We learn that Mr.
Chambers has traded this farm, except
forty acres of hay meadow, for Boone
county land. The meadow he has divid
ed into five and ten acre tracts and is
selling them at 3125 an acre. M. E.
Cooney and John Jasweith having each
become owner of ten acres.

Caroline, the 12 year old daughter of

She has been ill for a week or more.
Yesterday Drs. Evans and Martyn were
called from Columbus in consultation
with the attending physician. Dr. Cauley,
and the advisability of an operation was
considered aud it was decided that the
patient was too weak to undergo an op
eration. Another barn went up inBtnoke north
west of town Wednesday evening of this
week. The little girl of Chas. Demmel
went in the barn and started a fire in the
manager. The men folks were all out in
the field making bay and when they dis
covered the barn on fire it was too late
to save the barn or even its contents.
Two good horses perished in the fire be
sides a calf, four sets of harness and
several other articles used about the
barn. The barn was 40x40 in size and
we understand it was fully covered with
insurance.

.Silver Creek, Neb.. Sept. 7. To tbe
, Editor of the World-Herald: As observ
ing men have long foreeen tbe dominant
issue in the campaign in Nebraska this
fall, so far as the legislature is concerned,
is to be the question of county optior.
This issue has been forced upon us by
the Anti-Salonn league, and for my part
I am quite ready to meet it.
Am ofwuly proi-laimttd by Mrs. Armor,
county option is only a step and is
meant to bo only a step to stale-wide
prohiliitiou, and to that I am eternally
opposed. I am not opposed to prohibi
tion becau-e I care parucular'y ab-ut
tbe saloons one way or another, net be
cause I will not consent that any man,
or 8ft of men or wotne-i, shall dictate to
me as to what I shall eat or driuk. That
is fundamental and I shall never yield.
I seldom drink, was never drunk in my
life, and to me it would be no hardship
if there were not a saloou in tbe state
But that is not the question. The ques
tion is one of natural personal right that
the state has no right to interfere with
or abridge. In all good conBcienee I
have just as good right to drink as my
prohibitionist friend has to pray, and
just as good a right to have a bouse in
which to drink as he has to have a house
in which to pray.
I am spposed to county option further
because it is destructive of local self-government.
Is it not a fair proposition
that Omaha Bhould have a right to gov
ern itself without the interference of
of outside territory or that Lincoln
should govern itself without the inter
ference of the farmers of Lancaster
county? I am opposed to county option
because the very name is misleading and
a cheat. There is no "option" whatever
in it; it proposes to give the people of a
county the right to say they will not
have Baloons, but not tbe right to say
they will have saloons.
It is not my purpose, however, here to
enter into an argument on either the
question of prohibition or county option.
I have a practical suggestion to make to
the opponents of county option and it
is this: In every legislative district
where it has happened that the candi
dates are both committed to county op
tion f as in my own senatorial district,
consisting of the counties of Polk, Mer
rick and Nance, let those opposed to
county option confer together without
reference to party, select a candidate,
nominate him by petition and then
make an open, vigorous fight to the end
of the campaign. And further, in.every
legislative district where only one of the
candidates is opposed to county option,
let every republican, democrat or popul
ist who is opposed to county option
support that candidate.

Taft and Teraker Shoulder to
der far ftepabllean Yrlnoiplea,
Another Democratic hope has been
sidetracked. That waa that United
States Senator Foraker would not son
part the Taft oandldaey, and would
thus impair Ma ehaaees of carrying the
State of Ohio.
The twe big Ohloans fttfogly mat
at the O. A. ft. reunion In Toledo, and
publicly aud good-naturedly east what
differences may have existed between
them to the air.
Mr. Taft's contribution to tho treaty
of peace was aa follows:
"It is a pleasure for me to be here
with Senator Foraker. because when
governor of Ohio he gave me my first
chance and took a good deal of risk In
putting a man of SB on the bench of
the Superior Court of OlnclnnatL We
are about to enter or rather have en
tereda great oratorical eamptlpi It
Is a pleasure to think In this presence
that we are going to stand in tbe
campaign shoulder to shoulder, with
tbe full strength of the Republican
party."
In response Senator Foraker denied
that enmity had existed between Mr.
Taft and himself, and said:
"Under the drcnoutanoss I hope I
may be pardoned if I say here In this
presence the first time I have bad
opportunity to say it that there Is not
now and so far as I know there never
has been the slightest 111 fesllng ef any
kind between Mr. Taft and myself.
"If there Is anything I have a right
to claim beyond another, k to that I
am Republican three hundred and sixty
five day In tbe year. I have my pref
erences sometimes as to who should
receive tbe honors of the party, and
everybody generally finds out what they
are. But I am one of then old-fashioned
Republicans who settle every such
question at the convention. When the
Chicago convention nominated Mr. Taft
to be the Republican nmdMsto far the
Presidency this year, that instant ha
became my leader. He has been my
leader ever since, and he wOl be ay
leader until the polls eloss on ton night
of the election.'
Mr. Foraker followed with an esti
mate of Judge Taft's fitness for the
office he seeks by repeating what Bishop
Fallows had said before him.
"I want to repeat It" he said, "that
his experience on the bench, tn the
Philippines, as Secretary of War, in
the constructien of the Panama Canal,
in all the positions he has filled, has
been such as to qualify Mr. Taft al
most beyond every other man for the
Presidency. We are going to elect him,
and if he does not make a success of
it. It will be bis own fault"
Senator Foraker followed this state
ment with a review of his early ac
quaintance with Judge Taft, and the
favorable impression he then gained of
him.
Took No Chances.
He had proposed, but she had given
him the frigid mitt seemingly: but
five minutes later they were busy
swapping kisses.
"But if you really and truly loved
me, why did you turn me down at
first?" queried the puzzled young man.
"Oh, that was just a whim of mine,"
she replied. "I wanted to see how you
would act."
"But suppose I had rushed off with
out giving you a chance to explain?"
he said.
"Impossible," she answered. "I had

NIGHT
THE ISSUE AUD PA1TY 1EG01B.
Will the People Trust Experiment
alists and Theorists?
(From Sherman's Speech of Accept
ance.) The overshadowing issue ef the cam
paign really Is: Shall the administra
tion of President Roosevelt he ap
proved, shall a party of demonstrated
capacity in administrative affairs be
continued In power, shall tbe reins of
government bo placed in experienced
bands, or do the people prefer to trust
their destinies to an aggregation of
experimental malcontents and theor
ists, whose only claim to a history is
a party name they pilfered?
With a record of four decades of
wise legislation; two score years of
faithful administration; offering Its
fulSUed pledges aa a guaranty of its
promises for the future, the Republi
can party appeals to the people and,
with full confidence in their wisdom
and patriotism, awaits the rendition of
the November verdict.
DIXIES THAT UTAH
"COULD DO HO HAUL"
Congressman Burks Says (Mies of
President Is Inlnltoly More Pow
erful Than Congress.
Congressman James Franda Burke,
ef Pittsburg, m an address on "The
Powers of the President," says:
"The American people can make no
greater mistake than to elect Mr.
Bryaa on the assumption that he can
do no harm la tbe face of an adverse
Senate. As between the executive and
legislative departments of the govern
ment, the former has infinitely greater
power to rule and rum than the lat
ter. "Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan are wholly
different typos of men. Each pos
sesses a strong Individual character,
which would certainly assert itself in
the White House. What either of
these men would do during a four
years' term In the White House is
causing aa much anxiety anion?
thoughtful Americans as the mere
matter of election alone. ,
"As a disturber of moneys the Pres
ident Is without a rival In tbe world.
Through the agencies under his con
trol he will this year disburse a billion
dollars, showing the great things we
are doing in adding to the unparalleled
list of the world's achievements.
"In view of the fact that during
the fifteen years of Bryan leadership
the States controlled by bis party have
decreased from 23 to 12. the number
of Senators from 48 to 31. the number
of Representatives In Congress from
220 to 164, aud in that time tbe Demo
cratic party was in control of the
ground, whereas It Is now, as a conse
quence of his teachings, a hopelessly
heterogeneous mass of Popullstic ele
ments, the American people can sec
little prospects of a constructive policy
If Mr. Bryan should succeed."
