REPRESENTATIVE CUNNINGHAM.
State OF Nebraska, Harlan county,
IS. F. Cunningham, being first duly
sworn. on oath says that he Is resi-
dent of Harlan county, Nebraska, and
that he has resided there for nine
years: that Re was elected as men,
Der of the house of representatives OF
the Nebraska legislature for 1899; that
on the morning after the republican
memoirs Of said legislature had
voted for NJ. l.. Hayward for United
States senator. this afiiant was i'm
poltuued to vote for d. E. Thompson
for United States senator, and was in
formed that said Thompson would
support certain principles advocated
by the fusion parties. In support of
this representation he was shown
paper signed by d. E. Thompson in
which the said Thompson agreed, il
elected United States senator by the
aid of fusion votes, that he would keep
out of republican caucuses, oppose the
policy of the republican party on i'm
perialism. and agreed to support var
ious other principles contended for by
the fusion parties.
On the said morning before the joint
session Of the legislature at which M.
l.. Hayward was elected United States
senator nearly all the fusion members
of the legislature had cOngregated In
the board of transportation rooms in
the capitol building to consider the adj
visibility of voting for said d. E.
THOMPSON for United States senator,
ard the matter was discussed by var
ious people and members, and this pa
per Was circulated among some OF the
members of the fusion parties, includ-
ing myself, for the purpose of convinc-
ing them that said Thompson was
willing to support certain of the fusion
principles in order to obtain the fu-
sion votes for United States senator.
Affiant says it was urged by some
that it might be better to help elect a
man who would accept some important
fusion principles than to permit the
republicans to succeed in electing the
republican nominee, who was pledged
to oppose all the principles advocated
by the fusion parties. But the prOpO-
sition to throw the solid fusiOr vote
to d. E. Thompson for United States
senator was not accepted. (Signet)

was soon learned that it was a call to
assist our neighboring town of Glidden.
1t was reported that the Morehouse
grain elevator and lumber yard was
burning, and as the wind was blowing
quite a gale from the south the entire
business portion of the town was in
great danger.
Our boys loaded one hose cart and a
hook and latter truck and the G. g: n.
w. switch engine soon landed them in
5Glidden. With no water supply.#it took
some little time to get the fire under
control, and just as they did get control
of the burning district it was discovered
that the spire of the NJ. +. church was
on fire at the very top. having been
struck by a flying brand. altho two
blocks away. so the boys made a rur
for the church and the axes were
brought into play and the spire chopped
off near the roof and tipped over to the
ground. thus saving the church.

PULL FOR GREEN FOREST.
Business Men Should Work Tol
 oether in Everything.

Now is the time to hustle for ain increase in business for Green Forest. Let every man in the place do his part toward making our town the most popular trading point in this part of the state. Let us act together to make what ever is undertaken a success. Don't let personal prejudice step in to block any good work. If your neighbor isn't straight, don t tell everybody that comes to town all aboutit; he'll get found out in time anyhow, Nothing so dis gusts a visitor like finding the business men tearing each others reputation to pieces.
 Politics and business don't go well together; if you can't make your money by politics, leti it alone and tendto business. There's no excuse for your trying to tear down your neighbours business just because his political or re- igious opinions differ from yours.
 There's no excuse either for your blocking good move jusS because you were not smart enough to think about it first, Say a good word about your com- petitor occasionally; it will help you more than it will him, and it will give outsiders a feeling of confidence in the town. Nothing will draw trade like a general at- mosphere of genial good will and generosity among the business men, and nothing will condemn a town more surely or more quickly than the oft told tale of the "other fellow dishonesty or incompe- tency. Let US pocket our petty differences and go to work togeth- CT for the common good Of the town. Whatever are our needs as 8 town-and we certainly have many--let us all try to get them,
 Whatever we do or do not do, let us work, not fight, and if we don't gain wealth and popularity in great big slices, it won't be our fault.

In ordeg that a physician may keep pace with his profession and be up to date with his work, it is essential that he take a post grad uate course occasionally, in order that he may acquaint himself with the latest and most improved methods of treating the ills to which the human family is heir. Therefore, I deem it a duty that 1 owe to my patrons and to myself to take a course at present. feel thatI am not discommoding you by absenting myself at this time, as leave in my stead, Dr. E. c.

A Noted Popullst.

In a eulogy on Bob Bridges the Northwest Republican says:
 "After listening to him shoot off his mouth at random for couple of hours was led to believe that his face is simply slaughterhouse of good kings English"
 And that isn't straying so very far from the truth-Ballard Union.
 Bob was the complainant ina crimi nal libel suit in Seattle some sixteen years ago and one of the things the Pop statesman complained of was that the article as published accused him of being political prostitute" At the trial, the defense proved that Bob was that kind of a politician and the defendant was discharged. Bob has remained a steadfast Pop ever since.

They Are Better Now.

The afternoon of the 22nd inst. found Mir. Jas. Kirwin in the heart of Douglas City. He was elegantly arrayed in his new twenty-two- button cut-away and double breasted trousers, and mild expression on his manly countenance which told only too we'll of his inten- tion to appear before the all-seeing eye of the camera.
 Towards evening, however, word reached headquarters of the firm of Davis & Kirwin of the inability of the latter to attend the midnight lunch" " on account of sudden attack of some kind or some person-as it was sup posed. Anon the scene was changed! "Coming events cast their shadows be- fore them" The lustrous orbs of MT. Fred. Law seemed to grow quite dull, and haggard look Overspread his otherwise bright and genial face. Very ill he complained to be.
 Symptoms plainly indicated that the effects of pleasaet memories had taken complete possession of the ventricles of his huge heart, in utter defiance of his powerful will. Counter irritants were applied,-but of little use. The hospital is the only alternative. And soon he was started to gain it's hospita- ble portals while strength enough re- mained. Could it be the resurrection day of the much dreaded La Grippe? For To, and behold! the symmetrically developed frame of Mir. Rane was re. ported on the brink.of physical collapse.
 But he assured bis many friends that a bottle of patent medicine, a haircut and a shave would make him look bet ter. He too, with expressions of sym pathy ringing in his ears, wended his way to New town.
 The anxiety ofthe boys at the "MeXi- can" was greatly mitigated when, at a late hour that night or an early hour the following morning, a dispatch was handed round which read as follows:
 Claw, Rane and Kirwin considered the best dancers in Ohman's hall"
 TsignedI Dispenser of Compliments.
 The implied and expressed inference.
 A program replete in every sense had cured them. Musicians and not phy- sicians; music and not medicine; grace ful danes in artistic robes of delicate fiber to attract the eyes and hearts of men, and not pensive eyed nurses.
 It must be puzzling to the medical fraternity, let alone common ob- server who chanced to hear this story.
