The winter came on early at old Fort
Frayne. Even as early as mid. October
the ice was forming tn the shallow
pools along the Platte, and that eccen-
trio stream itself had dwindled away In
volume until 1t seemed but the ghost Of
its former self. Raging and nnfordable

Many q time did old Fenton wish 1t

southern shore, and the nearest grog-
gery-that inevitable accompaniment
Of the westward march Of civilization
was long two miles away down the
right bank, but only pistol shot across
the stream.
In his day Farrar had waged war
against the rumsellers on the North
shore and won, because then there were
only soldiers aud settlers and no lawyers
outside the guardhouse-within 80
miles Of the post. But with the tide OF
civilization came more settlers, and
cattle town, and lawyers in abundance.
and with their coming the question at
issue became no longer that Of abstract
right or wrong. but how jury would

In His Favor.

PHILApELpHIA, Nov. ~ Major Samuel
A. Losch, Of Schuylkill county, who has
just been elected to tho state senate from
west to rccupcrato from the effects of the
campaign. In the course Of an interview
before leaving this city he said:
II am for ex-Postmaster General Wan
amaker as the next United States senator.
My district is overwhelmingly for him,
and ! believe he Is just the kind of a man
who should bc sent to tho senate, partic-
ularly ut the present time. Major MsKln-
ley was nominated by the business mon of
the country, though the politicians were
largely against him; and he was elected
by the business men rs well II such a
result can bo brought about by business
men under the leadership OF u we'll equip.
ped business man like Mr. Hanna, Is IL not
equally important that Mr.. McKinley's
administration should have the support of
business men in the senate? There arc too
many scheming politicians in that body,
anyhow. a few business mon there might
leaven the whole lump and bring the son.
ate II little nearer the people and make 1t
u more popular body.
MIR. Wananaker would make an ideal
senator" continued tho major His adj
ministration Of tho postofilco department
under President Harrison proved him TO
be IA successful in statecraft as In business.
His recent tour of Pennsylvania during
the presidential campaign in behalf Of Nc
kinley and Hobart wasa revelation To tho
people OF the state No man ever appeared
on the stump In this common wealth who
made such deep impression upon his
auditors His appearance in my county
partook OF the nature OF an ovation, and |
am sure his speech there made us hun
dreds OF votes. The time Is at hand to give
the great business interests OF Pennsyl-
vania adequate representation In tho sen.
Rte OF the United States. There has been
. remarkable awakening among the bust
ness men Of the country during the past
six months, as they have realized their
power against tho politicians In the nomi-
nation and election Of Mckinley, and
from this time ON i am Atisfed that they
will take conspicuous psSs In po'itlcs-"

late 10 be Of value He would In any evcnt
have given us a business admin nistratiou,
and IL was the kno wiedge Of this that
turned the professional politicians away
from MIN. II is fortunate, indeed, that
this Is so, for now they can not make even
the sentimental claim Of gratitude by
means OF which cunning politicians some
times seek 10 turn men with good inten-
tions from shoir fixed purposes.
Major Mckinley, let me say, is not q
man who could be so swayed He has fixed
and definite Intentions, and all Of his SYM
pathy and effort will be to promote the in
tercsts OF the business men. I feel per-
sunded he will consult with them in all
matters OF Importance, and II In the cities
he intends TO insist upon this policy so
much the more will IL be applicable to the
country districts. 1t Is undoubtedly the
program to select for the public service
men who will not only be competent to
perform the required duties, but who will,
AZ the same timo fttingly represent the
business element, thus being tho better
qualified to protect and promote the actual
needs OF their respective communities.
This means that new element will be in
troduced. and to make it more effioaoious

will be formed into many local branches.
