"The Tariff is naturally the subject
of first attention. It is the leadino
issue. Upon this issue the democrat.
ic party is to be held to strict ac.
count for the devastation and ruin
which bsfell the country after Cleve-
lands Inauguration. It is this issue
which nails democracy to its record
of hard times and disaster, and it is
upon this issue that the republican
party promises the people a restora-
tien of prosperity" - Kansas City,
Mo-, Journal, June l9, 1896.
The Wayne county Nebraska Re-
publican says:-The free silver forces
are certainly on the run in this part
OF Nebraska and we believe that be-
fore election it will become q verit-
able stampede. Our farmers are
seeking information on the money
question as they never did before on
any subject, and as the true condi-
ton into which legislation of this
kind would plunge them Is made ap
parent, they are abandoning the wild
cat idea and fleeing from it as they
would plague.
Bryan cannot be elected, but the
most perplexing thing to those of his
followers who honestly want to vote
for him. is to understand why there
should be two candidates for the
Vice Presidency on the ticket with
him. Watson of Georgia and Sswall
Of Maine are the candidates for the
Vice Presidency. Tbs common sense
OF having ticket with ono head and
two tails is hard to dicover. The
truth is there is no common sense in
it. If it is intended as burlesque
it is success. But the people will
To- K at it in more serious light, and
vote down the one head and two tails
ticket, and all connected with it.
Geo. o. Eby of Port Royal walked
to the woods last Sunday near the
place where Mr. McFadden lives, and
while there heard dogs bark. He
went to the place that the dogs bark
ed at and there saw snake. Eby
was some on suakeology and resolv
ed to handle the reptile and reached
for its tail. The snake had been an
gsred by the worry of the dogs and
reached for Georges hand aud got
in n vigorous bite On two fingers,
which was enough for Eby. He
made O rapid retreat, and friends
hastily took him to Port Royal wherc
he was given liberal allowance of
whisky and other snake-bite antidote
medicine. By last accounts he still
lives.
William Martin, aged 10 years, and
an older brother aged Is years. resid-
ing with their parents in Milford
township, went to the woods to
shoot squirrels last Saturday after
noon. In passing through gate,
the younger boy was in front. The
older boy carried a rifle and when he
passed through the gate his clothes
and the hammer was caught |,
in such way that the gun was dis
charged. The bullet from the rifle |
struck the front boy in the back and |
passed through him coming out
above his stomach. He was eating !
an apple at the time, and continued |
to eat it till he tainted. He was tax
Ell hcme and soon revived, and when |
supper was ready, he partook of the
meal, but ne soon grew sick and died !
before the next morning
.Mifflintown has now o band that
will take band among bands to
equal for delightful music. There
are many bands that make more
noise than it does, but few dis
course music as it does. It has been
the habit of the band to play in the
Court House, Saturday evenings The
people would assemble there and
listen. Last Saturday evening there
was just enough rain to keep the
people from assembling around
Court House square. The band,
however, recognized the fact that
they have educated the musical appe-
tite of the community for music on
evening, Was determined
that the people should not be disap-
pointed, and therefore went out into
the town and at places where the cleo
trio light shone brightest, played for
the people, which was highly appre
ciated by the public IN general, and by
