Bryan's Thanksgiving.

nation.

nation.
New York Mail and Express: Ne
braska, Oct. 20. lS99.--To the Bry-
antics of the United States: Presi-
dent Mckinley having had the ef-
frontery-with the obvious intent OF
hurting my feelings-to appoint the
30th day of November a day of
general thanksgiving" | hereby
call upon all Bryanites to disregard
his proclamation and to spend the
day in fasting and humiliation.
What have we Bryanite tel to be thank
full for, | should like to know?
The country is not on its way to
the dogs. All, no. The laboring
man is laughing and growing fat.
Capital is finding abundant fields for
investment. The farmer, prospecting
as never before, is tearing down his
barns in order that he may build
greater ones. The railroads are
suffering from a car famine because
of the tremendous business which it
is given them to haul. The mill,
wheels are turning, the FORCES are
blazing, the spindles are singing,
the dinner pals are full, the mort
cages are being lifted, the deposits
in savings banks are increasing, fin
ancial panics are conspicuous by
their absence, the sheriff's flag has
been hauled down, the animal known
as wolf the door has fed the con-
tinent and Uncle Sam, day by day
is dancing the jig of happy content
to the music of the hum of industry.
1t looks the same dismal way in the
purely political field. Sixteen to
one has been smashed to pieces like
a potters vessel by the irresistible
logic of events. Goeb5l of Ken
lucky is in a bad way, Croker and
Hill have had a falling
out in New York, the Ohio
have got their professional eyes up
on John Mclean and | am not feel
ing very we'll myself.
For these reasons, and similar ones
|, William J. Bryan, leader of the
Bryanites, do hereby name Thurs
day the 3Oth day of November next
as a dav of Gloomy Forebodings, to
be observed as such by all our peo-
pie on this continent and by all our
fellow workers against the Star
Spangled Banner out in Luzon; and
| advise that on that day the i'm
predatory Psalms shall be read in all
Bryan clubs and that the flags shall
be displayed at half-mast above our
clubhouses, And | further advise
that on that day we abstain from
turkey and partake only of crow and
other funereal baked meats.
In witness thereof l have raised
my voice and caused my seal of
silver to be affixed.
(Signed.) William Joyless Bryan.

Election Day at Home.
Day County popuIist by slight Tai or.

1t was hard to realize in this city
that Tuesday was election day, every
thing passed off so quietly. The
saloons were closed during voting
hours and the banks displayed

Of these there was little to indicate
that an election was in progress.
The race between Norton and
Sheelar for commissioner excited
some little interest but not enough
to bring out a full vote. About a
two-thirds vote was cast in the city.
In th%e:country precincts the apathy
was still more marked, many town
ships polling less than half their
vote.
The contest between Norton and
Sheeler became a personal
rather than a political ace in,
which Sheeiar proved the most pop

own ward. Norton carried the re-
mainiug two wards and the city by
a majority of 26 which was quickly

Great Northern Lands.

This is the first year that the delin-
qpent taxes on railroad lands have
been published in the official list and
it is evident that the laws validity is
10 be tested before any Of the taxes

company owning land in Stearns

that 81, 7226S is due from that com.
pany on 25. 49, II acres and 81 town
lots, the latter located in the villages
of Avon and Albany.
The list shows that the company has

Advertising Does 1t.

The Adrian Guardian of last week
publishes two-column article on the
folly of buying goods from peddlers
and catalogue houses, and we indorse
every word of it. However, what is it
that induces people to send to St. Paul,
Minneapolis, Chicago and even to
New York for goods they could buy
right here at home? The answer is
advertising. The big catalogue houses
spend large sums of money annually
advertising in the newspapers, and
their circulars and catalogues may be
found in nearly every house in the
United States, especially in the coun-
try districts. They give the price of
each article Saying nothing about
freight) and the customer never stops
to think about his home merchant,
who probably trusted him for a big
bill of goods last summer, but there is
the article he wants and there is the
price; the order goes to the catalogue
house, and the purchaser pays the
freight. The home merchant who does
not advertise in the home papers has
no kick coming. He has the oppor-
tunity to place before the people his
goods and his prices, and at a much
less expense than the foreign houses.
He has not done so, and no one knows
that he has goods for sale unless they
happen into his place of business. If
the merchants would advertise more
and let the people know what goods
can be bought for at their stores there
would be less money sent out of the
country. The business man who thinks
he is so well known that he does not
need to advertise is very badly mis-
taken.-Luverne Journal.

The elderly ladies-beg pardon, not
"old'' by any means, but older than
the youngest-are royal entertainers.
On Monday evening they gave a ST.
Valentines party at the Auditorium,
the ladies having full charge of ar
rangements and details. There was
good music for dancivg, and every
body danced, and between times they
played cards and f1irted with their re-
spective wives. The gentlemen all
looked their best-the best they
could being gentlemen, and they were
greatly admirably themselves. 1t
isn't necessary to describe the several
costumes and toilets-they were all
alike except in minor details-coats,
vests ETC., all cut on the same machine,
a trfe variety in color alone being OBJ
servable. But the ladies were not
hypercriuical. They managed the
floor, managed the card tables,
managed the dainty supper and man
aged the men. 1t was an all around
brilliant event.
