Hastings, Neb., Aug. 5.-The
populist state convention met
here today and spent the entire
afternoon and the evening up
to midnight in wrangling over
the question of fusion with the
Democrats. During n brief in
termission Gov. Holcomb was
nominated for governor by ac-
clamation and John u. Harris
for lieutenant governor. Reso-
lutions were finally adopted
giving the central committee
authority to name an electoral
ticket in conjunction with the
Democrats.
At $3.50 a conference commit
tee was appointed to confer
with the Democrats In refer
ence to giving them "A place on
the state ticket. After an hours
conference the committee re-
ported its inability to arrange
to give the Democrats any part
of the ticket. The general sell
timent seemed to be that the
| Democrats had sufficient when
their candidate for president
was indOrsed.
The prospects are that an all
night session will be necessary
To complete the ticket.

Drouth and Cotton.

4 dispatch from Fort Worth,
Texas, dated August 4th, says:
The long continued drouth in
north and west Texas is causing
much comment among cotton
buyers and brokers III this sec
ton as to the outcome Of the
cotton crop in this state. Not
more than a month since many
prominent brokers estimated a
0.OO0,OOO bale crop in the
United States, while the more
conservative said 5000, 600 bales
would be the limit of the output
in this state.
The weekly government re-
ports prove the drouth to be
general throughout the entire
south. Arkansas, Georgia, Ten
nessee and Mississippi, states
that have heretofore produced
abundant crops, are said to be
suffering intensely from hot,
dry winds, and lack of rain.
Cotton being such an important
factor in the commerce of the
south every one interested anx-
iOusly awaits the result of the
present dry weather.

Serious Accident.

From a farmer in the city
yesterday it was learned that a
young man named Parker,
while returning home from a
campmeeting at Siidell was
thrown from his horse and at
last accounts was dying. His
brother-in-law, MIR. Eden, and
his family were in a hack at the
time. Their horses took fright
and ran away, throwing Mrs.

WE don't say it reproachfully,
but we state it as a fact, that
the ARDMoREITE is the most
poorly patronized paper by its
home people of any publication
outside of Ardmore, in the ter
ritory. By this we do not mean
in the way of readers, but by
our business men in the way of
advertising, We don't know
why this should be so, because
we believe there are none to
doubt our loyalty to Ardmore
and Ardmore's interests. We
are loyal from a sense of duty,
Ardmore is our home, and
while we have no brick build
ings to call our own, we expect
to rest our destiny with these
people. We have made liv-
ing here against odds for the
past three years, and we eX-
pect to be here in the same bus
mess until we are called hence
to the great beyond. provided,
of course, we may continue tC
receive a patronage to afford {
living. We not only expect tC
do this, but we have that abid
ing faith IN our business men o.
the present and the infusion O
new life in the future to Justify
the hope, there will for tn,
coming season be a waking III

SOME method other than that
now in vogue in this city should
be devised for the purpose of
sounding the fire alarm. The
promiscuous and random firing
of pistols is both dangerous and
misleading; dangerous because
the bullets might infict bodily
harm, and misleading because
a fusilade might be the result
of a riot, a jail break or a bank
robbery, in the latter instance
affording the offenders a better
opportunity of escaping at the
expense of murder. People
rushing to a fire seldom go
armed and the officers of the
law under the present system,
never know when their presence
is required. We should by all
means have a fire alarm, but let
is be such as when sounded
there can be no mistake as to
its purpose.

THE discOuraging reports from
the surrounding country regard
ing the condition of the cotton
crop continue to come in.
While we do not take these ac-
counts as seriously as others we
have no doubt that much dam
age has resulted from the con-
tinued dry weather and boil
worm ravages. Ardmore's re-
ceipts from wagons may posi-
big be reduced from Is, 900 to

DoN'T let the matter of send

Such a representative could be

the choice made by a general

proposition because it would
serve to bring out our total

Morrison For Bryan.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Hon. w.
r. Morrison, member of the
interstate commerce commits
sion, in an interview in the
Journal, is quoted as saying
that he will vote for Bryan and
free silver. He added:
Il did not favor the adoption
of a free silver platform and /
do not believe the success of
free silver would in any way
realize the expectations of those
who are urging it. But | do
not believe the adoption of free
coinage at a ratio of l6 to / and
the election of Bryan would
necessarily precipitate a panic.
1t would if men who control
the money market choose to
have n panic, but not otherwise.
If these men should in that
event do as they are now doing
and do their best to strengthen
the credit of the government,
things would run along without
a financial jar during the four
years of Bryan's administration.
OF course, if a president and
congress were bent OH smash
ing things right and left they
conld undoubtedly do it, F."

FIVE MINUTES SESSION.

Hutchinson, Kan. Aug. O.
The democratic state convention
held a five-minutes session this
evening and adjourned until 10
O'Clock tomorrow, pending a re-
port of its committee sent To
confer with the populist conven-
ton at Abiline.
The general opinion among
the delegates here seems to be
that the convention will refuse TO
make any furtherconcesslons To
the populists and that in the
event of a refusal by the Abiline
convention to indorse the demo-
cratic Bryan and Sewal electors
in return for democratic indorse-
ment of the entire, populist state
ticket, the democratic conven-
ton will put a complete state
ticket in the field.

TELEPHONE SERVICE.

Thc; question 81 granting fran
chise to the Spirit Lake Telephone
company is before the council and
will receive careful consideration be-
fore granting the privilege. In view
of the fact the Northwestern Tele-
phone Co. have secured the right-of-
way for a line from Mankato to
Sioux Falls and will later to Sioux
City. It appears that it would be
better to investigate their plans as
to putting in an exchange here il the
people want one at all. The North
western Co. have their line already
constructed west of Mankato and if
an exchange is put in here it would
give us direct communication with
all stations along the Omaha road as
we'll as the principal cities when their
line is built, while the Spirit Lake
Co. would only give us connection
with a very few towns along this
road and the other towns would
chiefly be in Iowa and service over
another company's line. where there
is always more or less delay in get
ting business transacted, owing to
delays that usually occur in service
given rival companies to carry on
their business. 1t is not probable
that two companies would operate
an exchange here, but should they
desire to do so. the village would
be made unsightly by the numerous
poles that would be erected, and
they would really become nuisance
and detriment to the town in sever
al ways. There seems to be quite a
popular sentiment among our bust:
ness people favorable to an exchange
judging from the encouragement
ment given the Spirit Lake Co., and
there can be no doubt as to the con-
venience of such a service while the
benefit may not be as large: but there
will be some. From the expressions
of members of the conncil the matter
will be thoroughly investigated be-
fore the privilege is granted any COM
pany.

THE RAILROAD LANDS.
Suits 4Instit,,ted.ia-No Mobiles Coun
ty Recover Title.

Last week: Deputy United States
Marshal Si1eehan, of St. Paul, was in
Adrian and served several summons
n action recently brought by the
United States against the Omaha
railroad company to recover title to
certain pieces of land in Willmont
and Larkin townships. The govern
ment claim the lands were unlawfully
included in the railroad grant. Nearly
1000 acres are effected in this county.
Whether or not the suits are founded
on anything tangible is not clear.
According to the Pioneer Press.
thousands of these suits were brought
Just before March 3, the date upon
which the time limit for proceedings
of that nature expired. In great
majority of cases action was instituted
where there was not the least shadow
of a chance Of it's successful prosecut
ion. The only people to be benefited
are United States attorneys and
marshals, whose fees will be appreci-
ably increased thereby, and in this
respect the i'll advised action of the
government is glittering success.
The time for defense of these suits is
near at hand and though the general
land commissioner has recommended
the abandonment of the cases where
the government has no prospect of
winning, and his recommendation
will probably he adopted.-Nobles
