A Family cremated.

A family named Richter, farmers, liy-
ing between Geneva and Ohiowa, Nebr.,
consisting of the husband, wife and five
children were all burned to death with
the exception OF the husband who was SO
seriously burned that he will probably
die, on the 7th inst. A tramp who was
spending fhe night with them was also
burned The origin Of the fire is IN
known. The tramp had been around
the neighborhood for some time and that
day was drunk. Mr.. Richter had also
been drinking, and IT is supposed that
the tramp may have gone to sleep while
smoking and the Ere thus originated. II
was not discovered until the house with
It's inmates and entire contents was en-
tirely consumed.

WILL sTAND BY THE TICKET

Every republican in this portion of
Lawrence county will support the ticket
in its entirety. Any little discussions
that may have existed before the conven-
ton have been allayed, and now the
party stands as unit in favor of elect
ing every man who has been honored
with place on the ticket. The candi-
dates grow more popular in the minds
of voters from day to day, as their polit-
ical records and private business pursuits
lave been tried in the balance and not
found wanting.
The republicans generally recognize
that presidential year is poor time to
make concessions with the democracy,
and will use every effort to poll as large
vote as possible for the ticket, in order
to put this vicinity at least on record as
being loyal to the party both local and
territorial, thereby giving us a standing
in national circles that will be of inesti-
mable value to this people under re-
publican administration.
The scheme to put up ticket for
Meade county, and ignore the Lawrence
county ticket las been entirely aband-
oned. After giving the matter mature
elaboration, the leaders wisely conclud-
cd to support the Spearfsh nominees,
and rely upon the success of the repub-
lican party to secure county division.
The democrats have been endeavoring to
mako capital out of a matter which in
there was no collateral, but instead OF
gaining a point through this channel
they have lost several. A fact they will
realize at the polls.
We want division Of the county, but
will not jeopardize the republican ticket
of Lawrence county by assisting the
democracy in anyw;se. We cannot
afford to antagonize our friends in Dead
wood, who are in sympathy with this di-
vision movement, erasing the name of q
single candidate from the republican
ticket and voting for democratic nom
inee instead
Meade county asks to start in with. a
pure political record, and that is the
way she viii begin business at no very
distant day-under republican rule.

Daties Reduced by Republicans.

One Of the democratic party's favorits
modes Of attempting to impose upon IN
informed voters is to assert that our pres.
ent tariff is 'swar" tariff, and that the
republicans never have consented and
never will consent to change it. How
false such assertions are the Nashua IN
H. Telegraph very neatly shows in this
compact statement Of some Of tho tariff
changes for which. the republican party
is responsible:
The republican party reduced the duty
on steel rails from 1913 to SIT.
| The republican party abolished the
duty on coffee.
The republican purity abolished the
duty on tea.
The republican party abolished the
duty on hides.
| The republican party abolished the
duty no camphor.
The republican party abolished the
duty on indigo.
The republican party abolished The
duty on maccaroni.
The republican party abolished the
duty on nutmegs.
The repub!lean party abolished the

The republican party put shellac or

years. We understand that he is a very
clever gentleman and is well spoken OF
py ali who know him. We can assure
| Mr.. Wagner that he has secured o
| prize, and one OF whom he may well feel
proud of. In this instance q few words
of commentator will not be out of
| place. The name of Myra Ross is
familiar to ell music loving people,
| being possessed with q remarkable voice,
in sweetness, c%learness and power.
Those who heard her oftener loved her
best and appreciated her talents most,
and she will be greatly missed in church
and Sabbath school. Miss Ross has
filed ell the leading and responsible
positions, unsteady, at home and abroad
but mostly in the role of contralto solo
ist, having calls continually from neal
and far; thus attesting the hold which
she has SO fully claimed and sustained
on her many admirers "a q songster.
TIE wedding was eniet and unosten
t~atious, only her church and choi
friends and members OF the family beins
present. Several useful and handsome
presents we're given. but neither thes'
