"Great Scott"

Don't fail to hear Major L I. Scott
at the Presbyterian church, Sunday
evening, October 17th, 1897. The
eloquent advocate Of temperance.
Mai Scott is noted from the Atlantic
to the Pacific as "The Second John
B. Cough" BY some called THE
John Kntx Of the Temperance Re-
form" Does not give offense, but
charms and entertains, while he hurls
solid facts into the minds of his hear
ers. Houses always packed to hear
him. You will miss a rare treat if
you fail TO come.
Read this press notice from the
News, Grand junction, Colorado:
AT the request of the w. @. I. u,
by whose invitation Major Scott came,
the pastors had charge OF the service,
Revs Sisson, Thurman, and Downer
participating. The subject Our Coun-
try and its Homes was handled ably,
forclbly, acceptably. Mr., Scott brings
conviction, which is great result.
His descriptive powers are far be-
You'd that of most 80 called orators
The picture Of that little home on the
Cascades was dramatic to the last de-
gree. Those who listened on Sunday
night will not be surprised that E. 7.
Scott is a 'fitty-dollar-s-night speaker,
upon such platforms as the original
Chautsuqua, and if he comes again to
Grand Junction our people will have
audience and welcome ready for him"

The insurance Middle.

While Webb McNall, state lnsur-
ance commissioner, may do some Of
fetal acts that may be questionable,
the people are daily becoming con-
vinced that some one should have the
power to compel the insurance COM
panles to make settlements for losses
more promptly. In neIghboring
town, q man who had his life heavily
insured, died recently. His insur-
ance was placed In old line and mu-
tual companies. All the mutual
companies have paid their losses IN
full, with one exception, while OF the
old line companies not one has set
tied, They all must investigate(D'
One Of these same companies IS now
rowing with the state insurance de-
partment. The policy has been car
RED for years, premiums promptly
paid, but now a loss is sustained, and
the company hesitates to keep its
part OF the contract No question
was raised as TO the mans honesty or
integrity during life time, but now
that he IS dead, questions are raised.
So we believe that a Webb McNsll IS
needed in some cases.

Is there a "fsmne" in raw hides?
There has been an increase OF over 30
per cent, in the price of that article
since the framing Of the Dingley law.
-Oberljn Times.
II Is little bit raw, Captain, for you
republicans to claim credit for hides
being on the dutiable list. Mr. Ding
ley and his gold standard friends
commended that the hides shipped in
from foreign countries did not com
pete with American hides. The free
silver senate however compelled the
republicans of the house to place a
duty on hides or no tariff. If Bro.
Parker will read up he will find that
his party is not entitled to very much
credit for the duty that is now paid
upon all hides brought in the United
States.

The Kirwln Globe goes twild be-
cause the commissioners refused to
build a bridge over the Solomon river
near that point The facts are that
the commissioners refused this re-
quest on account OF the already high
rate Of tax that ia now being paid
Outside of the townships Of Kirwin
and Valley the people of the county
at large have no interest in building
the bridge, which il built would have
to be paid for by all the people. -
Many years have passed since the
country in that neighborhood has
been settled. The people have got
along during this time without the
bridge, and should be contented to
wait while longer. The people up
here are paying all the tax they can
stand. Wait Brother Globe until we
get our railroad, school and water
works bonds paid of, and then let US
talk of new bridges. To build the
bridge asked for would add about
two mills to our tRxes. Last spring
the people of Kirwin protested
against their heavy tax levies and
had them cut, down. Other commun.
tiles are no better Of. The commits.
sioners will be sustained by the vast
majority of our people.
