Sherman County's Candidate.

LoUP CITY, Neb., Oct. O. Special to THE
BEE. l-Francis w. Fuller. who was nominal
ed by the county republican convention last
Tuesday, is the first representative which
Sherman county has had the honor to nom
mate alone. Mr.. Fuller was born in Mount
Carroll, H., February l6, 1916, but was edu-
Gated in Vermont, the former home of his
parents. At the age of eighteen he, with his
parents, moved to Galcsburg, H., where he
for twenty years followed the mercantile
business. In 1888 he closed out his business
and came to Nebraska, settling on farm
near Paris postoitice, Sherman county,
and has since given his whole
attention to the improvement of
his farm and the comfort of his family, and is
regarded by his neighbors a very conscien-
tious and honorable gentleman. Mr.. Fuller
has taken no prominent part in politics since
moving to Nebraska, but has always been a
strong republican in principle, but conscrva-
tive in his views If elected MIR. Fuller will
not antagonize the railroads, but will work
conscientiously for just and equitable legis-
lation, ever keeping in view the wishes of
his constituents. Being a gentleman of
means as well as very conscientious, the
usual amount of "lubricator' will be no in
ducemcnt TO turn him from what he CON
siders his duty. On the prohibition question
he is very conservative, but will probably
favor submission. He will be a strong sup
porter of Manderson, and, all III all, locally.
the feeling is that no better choice could
have been made.

A Very Encouraging outlook.

CHICAGO, Oct Especial Telegram to
The BEE. Encouraging news has been sent
from New York to western republicans in
the form of letter from one of the shrewd-
est of the party managers. His political
sagacty is conceded by his opponents, and as
he is in position to ascertain the exact situa-
ton, and therefore able to form correct
Judgment, his statement that New York is
no longer doubtful" will be given the weight
it is entitled to. at is certainly republican," !"
he adds, and in brief summary
OF the outlook in the other doubt
full states, he says: Connecticut
and New York are reasonably certain,
and figures sent me from four-ffths of the
counties in Indiana lead me to the conclusion
that we will carry the state by large ma
jority." In addition to this, the gentleman,
who did not intend that his name or views
should be made public, believes harmony will
not dwell in the ranks of the New York city
democrats and that Governor Hills workers
will trade off Cleveland. The republicans
on the other hand, he AYERS, are working IN
harmony, and anticipate a larger Irish vote
than that polled four years ago. Another
matter which he says is bothering Cleve-
lands confdants Is the indifference Of
"Mulen Barnum and other old-timc demo-
cratic leaders. Barnum Is a protectionlst
and his privately expressed opinion is that it
makes little difference to him whether Cleyc-
land is beaten ornot.

A Prediction That Flour Will Touch

MINNEApoLIs, Oct. 2.-Flour has advanced
here 81 within two months, and it is pre-
dicted that it will touch $40 barrel. Charles
A. Pilsbury, head Of the largest milling firm
in the world, said today: We nave had a
little squal in prices, but that is nothing to
the cyclone that Is coming later on. My
reason for this is the fact that there is not
enough good milling wheat in this country to
supply our local demand for good nours, to
say nothing of the foreign demand, which
cuts no figure on the present crop, as no
pricesn
LONDON, October 2-The corn millers' as
sociaton, at a meeting held at Leeds to-day,

LONDON, Oct. q New York Herald
Cable--Special to The BEE. The money
put up by the unknown TO cover kilrain's de-
post of 5000 has excited immense interest
here. Sports are somewhat varied in their
opinion as to who the man is and as TO Kill
rains position. Jack Harper, who has Sec
ondcd Smith in all his fights and whose house
in lslington is the resort of the pugilistic fra
ternity, said: "Thc question of Kilrain
fighting an unknown is, think rather
funny idea. However, it ought to be a mat
ter of Indifference to him whether the chal.
lengc be issued by niger or any one else.
1t might be Sullivan, If Sullivan gets
well. kilrain challenges the world,
therefore he ought to be ready
to take any one so long as he is gwen
months notice. think Kilran an excep-
tonally good man. If any man comes for
ward to fight Kilrain, that man will have a
hard time. Kilrain is game 'un, and it will
take very smart man to beat him."
"What are his best points!n
"Hc is very active on his feet; he is a
splendid wrestler; he has right hand as
good in a fight as | have ever seen, even In
the big man.
"Doyou see anything against his winningr
"There is only one thing against him-he
is matching himself against whole lot"
SHOW do you meant"
"Wcll, if the man they now think of under
the Cognomen of the Unknown gives up they
will not forfeit the money but will have
whole lot more to choose from. However, il
Kilrain sickcns ana is unable to come to the
scratch he must Forfeit
A call was made at Mr.. Moores house.
Kilran won't accept any unknown"
Poncy said, Firstly, because he is champion,
and they might put up some black man
against him-for instance jackson. Another
thing is kilrain is not supposed to do any
business until he has heard from Mitchell.
They are in business together for another
year"
'Then YOU don't think the challenge goodn
mo, think it must be something very un-
fair to match kilrain against an unknown.
For instance, a match might be made by
that Thompson, Lynch and Wilby Brooklyn
gang. Then l want to know what chance
Kilrain would have. This un-
known business is not straghJfor-
ward. They mean corruption. If q
man was open he would give
| his name. 1t is done by the gang who have
| prejudice against Mitchell and Kilrain."
''What would you do about itl'

why, we are for Miller as against Hill. BE

thus put its foot upon reform more n"eucu

united labor party candidates and thirty six
electors, another with two united labor
clcctors-at-large and thrty-four democratic
electors, and the third with the united LABOR
clectors-atlarge and thirty-four republican
electors. The scheme is to give our voters
an opportunity to place themselves on record
for the platform and principles by voting Tor
the electors at large and Yet not losing their
votes in the national result. The most OF
those who do not vote for the straight united
labor ticket, but for only two electors at
