TooK Third PRIZE.
The GoOdleud Musicians Take a Place iE

The GoOdlsnd Musicians Take a Place IN
the Band Contest at Denver.
The Goodland Military Band received
third prize in the band contest at
Denver last week, and while the boys
had hoped for a better place, no com
plants are made. It has been with
difficulty that the band has been kept
together and at its high grade. With
our constantly changing population
the Instrumentation of the band has
been varied one. When one player
left another was educated to fill his
place or another musician enlisted.
This has served to keep the organiza-
ton from acquiring that unity which
would have otherwise distinguished it,
But in spite-of these difficulties the
boys have gone on and accomplished,
under their efficient director, what
many bands would have been proud to
have accomplished without the handi-
caps that have confronted the Good
landites.
The band consisted of a pieces be-
ing led by Drum Major j. A. Sohlinger.
Mr. Sohlinger is a giant in statue, be-
ing nearly seven feet in height, and
was the largest and best-looking drum
major present, and he is one Of the
best drum majors that ever tossed a
baton outside of strictly professional
band. His services with the band was
of the greatest Importance and his eff
Gent drilling went no small way toward
securing them the prize they attained
by gaining them the highest percent
age Of any band in the marching, which
was a part of the contest.
Their selection of the "Silver Bell"
was a wise one and their march,
Correcting to Bangor" was the best
played of any in the contest. The
Denver News has this to say of our
band:
The GoOdland band came next with "a men,
led by Z. Robinson. Their overture was THE
Silver Bell" (Schlepegrel). The selection is
one which permits of considerable fine work aud
the possibilities were fully appreciated. The
band has evidently had the benefit of an expert
enced director. Their andaHte movement was
by all odds the most finished of any of the bands
which have contested and there was perfection
to the tempo and a4legTettO movements which
marked the pTactiCed band. Their march,
| Correcting to Bangor" (R. B. Hall, was played
in perfect tempo and with spirit deserving OF
the applause received.

editorially of a popular patent medi-

excruciating pains and possibly saved
us from an untimely grave. We would

4 good deal of the prosperity of the
years from 1890 to 1894 has been errone-
ously attributed to the Mckinley bill.
President Harrison, in his message to
congress, i'm 1890, said;
The general tariff act has only gone partially
into operation, some of its important provisions
being limited to take effect at dates yet in the
future. The general provisions of the law have
been in force less tan 60 days, Its permanent
effect upon trade and prices stiu largely stands
in conjecture. 1t is curious to note that the adj
vance in the prices of articles wholly unaffected
by the tariff was By many hastily ascribed to
that act. Notice was not taken of the fact that
the general tendency of the markets was upward
from influences wholly apart from the recent
tariff legislation, THE ENLARGEMENT OF
OUR CURRENCY BY THE SILVER BILL
UNDOUBTEDLY GAVE AN UPWARD TEN
DENCY TO TRADE AND HAD 4 MARKED
EFFECT OK PRICES-but the natural and de-
sired effect of the silver legislation was by many
enormously attributed TO the tariff act.

The American Protective Tariff Lea
que is sending out large yellow posters
(yOu have probably seen them which
denounces what is called by them
Organs Wilson German tariff" and
advises workiugmen to vote for "Mc-
Kinley and protection" In the center
of this very interesting poster is a re-
presentation of an American working
man shrinking from a circle of .daggers.
On each of these daggers is the name
of some product and the amount i'm
ported under the Wilson bill, which,
the poster declares, fought to have
been made at home" The A. P. 7. I.
is not composed of fools by any means,
but it certainly undertakes the intelli-
gence of the American voter. A com
parison of the imports under the Viii

been at home" casts 10 reflection on
tho present tariff law, but does spoil
the object lesson Of the poster.

This Key to Prosperity Is the Election Of
william Jennings Bryan.
There is considerable hesrdnOwadays
of the injustice done the farmer by the
free wool provision IN the Wilson tar
if law. How many know who it was
that was responsible for that free wool
clause ia the Wilson bill? It was Seua-
tor Aldrich of Rhode Island, a republi-
can. Representing as he did one Of
the smallest states in the union and
yet one Of the greatest in manufac-
tories, why did he insist upon that free
wool clause?

But says our republican friends,
shat would not help US any, as it
would only be fictitious prosperity" If
that is the case then there is no hope,
absolutely no hope, for the present or
the oncoming generations. By that
line of reasoning, if high prices can
not help US, then low prices cannot
hurt US, and we must go on accumulat-
ing debts issuing more bonds, paying
bigger interest each year, until in the
end the wealth of the country is am
massed in q few hands, the few rich the

The same way with silver. The de-
mand for the reconciliation of silver
does not come from people who look
upon and worship the white metal as
fetish, but because such a law would
again make a money metal of it, and
thus increase the total stock Of stand
ard money. Such law would mean
greater prices and render it more easier
to get money.

Senator Aldrieh has never had his
republicanism questioned, and in ad-
vOcating and insisting upon that free
wool clause, he but voiced the senti-
ment Of the republican party which
has ever declared for free raw materi-
ais. Republican stump speakers should
remember this and let up on their ''free
wool" denunciation of the democratic
party. Anyway, the woods that are i'm
ported into the United States are WoOis
Of q coarse grade that cannot be pro
dueed in this country, and are yet nee
essary to mix with our fine woods in
making certain grades of goods. There
fore, it stands to reason that Stree
wool" should help the manufacturer
and not hurt the farmer. But as the
price of wool, like the price Of every
other commodity, has fallen, the re-
publicans have sliced upon that clause
of the Wilson bill hoping to deceive
voters into the belief that it is Fespon-
sible for the fall in the price of woods,
forgetting, probably, that arepublican
senator was responsible for it.

ROMANTIC WEDDING.

Louis Arnaud of the band and Miss
Belinda Nierra, youngest daughter of
Henry Nierra, Sr., were. married at the
residence of the Bishop of Panopolis
at 1880 Thursday evening. The affair
was a trifie romantic. 1t seems that
the brides father objected to the mar
riage on account of the youthfulness
of his daughter. a watch was set at
the cathedral door. But while the
watch was watching the young couple
were being joined for life in the par
lor of the good bishop. From that
place Mr.. and Mrs. Arnaud repaired
to the residence of Mrs. NJ. A. Con
salves, sister of the bride, where re-
ception was held.
