RED HOT REPUBLICANS.
SECOND DISTRICT CONVENTION WAS
HELD IN DAWSON.
Two Factions Were Represented, and There
Was Lively Struggle for Control
What Was Done.

Friday afternoons trains brought
about fifty republicans to Dawson The
faithful of both races were in evidence,
though the colored "leaders" largely
predominated and wore al air of supe-
rior importance.
Their presence in tb city was to al
tend a convention of their party which
had been called TO meet in Dawson on
Saturday for the purpose OF electipg two
delegates to represent the second con.
gressional district in the national con-
venton to be held at Philadelphia ia
June.
Soon after their arrival the delegates
congress gated near the court house on Les
street, and from the conferences, con-
situations and private conversations that
were kept up until nightfali it was eNi.
dent that all was not serenity among the
followers of Hanna.
1t developed that there were two fac
tions among them, and that the hostility
existing between Major B. f. Brmber1y
and DR.. c. ". Arnold, prominent re-
publcans Of Albany, was in large
measure responsi Bile for the lack of har-
mony. Oa the side of Postmaster Brim-
berry were Ed Richardson, Ben Davis
and other oficeholders under the ad-
ministration, while the opposition forces
were led by j. C.. Styles of Dawson and
J. H. Smith, the Decatur county preach
er who ran against Judge Griggs for
congress two years ago.
The former won the fight, and after a
stormy time in organizing the conven-
ton Saturday carried everything their
own way with a rapidity and positive
ness that was never surpassed by Boss
Reed.
All the counties except Colquitt were
represe nted, and among the visiting
white republicans in attendance were J.
E.PetersOn of Fort Gaines, J ohm o. Dom
nell and JAS O'Quinn of Decatur, J. NJ.
Duff of Triton. J. F. Wilson of " Orth
and g. w. Wiseman of Calhoun. Meth
er Major Brimberry nor DR.. Arm old at
tended the invention, but the former
came up Friday afternoon, looked over
the situation, organized his forces and
returned to Albany that night.
The Convention.
The convention was called to order in
the superior court room at o'clock Sat
urday morning by J . l.. Reddick, chair
man of the district eXecu i've committee,
and clash that measured the strength
of the two factions at once occurred in
an effort to effect temporary organIza-
ton.
f. J. Mathews of Terrell, representing
what may be termed the! Brim berry fac
ton, and J. II. Smith OF Decatur, repre-
senting the other SIDE were put in nom
ination for chairman, and on a rising
vote the former received 81 and the
latter 20.
The result vas announced and Maths
ews bad started to ascend the stand
when some watchful and inter ested del
egate exclai med that about twenty more
votes had been counted than were in the
convention, and paudemonium at once
broke loose In an instant every delegate
was on his feet excitedly shaking his fists
or waYing his arms and emanding to be
heard. Excitement and disorder held
full sway for five or ten minutes before
the turbulent members could be quiete d

THE WOODMEN CELEBRATE.
The Second Annual LogroIIing OF the
WOOdmen Lodge Day of Feasting
and Mrrrymaking.

Wednesday was Woodmen day. And
excepting the celebration, by the peO-
pie of Sherman county, of events com
memorative Of national successes, the
annual loRrOlling of GoOdIand lodge
M. 81, Modern WOOdman of America,
Il becoming, ay, already Is, one of the
most delightful and unifying occasions
Of our society.
Last year was the first attempt Of
this kind made by the local lodge, and
so approved was it by the people Of the
town and county that the IogrOlliug Of
1900 made advances from the former,
exceeding the most extravagaut ex-
pectations of WoOdmen.
The open space just south of the
court house was selected for the en-
.tertainment of guests. There, for the
serving Of free luncheon, temporary
tables were constructed IN a circular
manner, while at the center also were
placed tables 20 hold the provision.
At another point within the circle was
dug hole in the ground in which to
bake potatoes.
a little before noon fire was started
under several bushels Of potatoes,
which were imbedded in loose earth.
Previously one half Of a beef had been
roasted in the ovens Of H H. Auer &
Son, who also furnished the Woodmen
with $50 IoaFes of bread But even the
extensive preparations we're quite in
adequate to supply the demand.
Just before the serving Of dinner J.
Il. Stewart made a short address on
Workmanship to the people there
assembled. Then luncheon was served,
consisting Of roast beef, potatoes, cot
fee, bread and pickles Not less than
400 people surrounded the table-from
the infant in its mothers lap, and the
cIsmorous school boy, to the old and
gray-an these made up 50 large q
crowd that it was impossible to feed
them all
In the afternoon the time was taken
up By q game Of bail, while g dance
was given at the opera house in the
evening.
The day went as merrily as it came
and the idea Of Woodmanship-of
brotberiy concern, Of benefeenee. OF
social unity-was wrought in act and
deed.

Dies Of Typhoid Fever.

At the home Of Charley Miller, who
lives near RuIetOn, Knude Garier died
from the effects of typhoid fever Mon
day morning. Mr. Garder was unmar
ried. and having fallen i'll of fever was
cared for at Mr. Miller's home. He
grew rapidly worse aud died from col
lapse at the critical point in the dis
ease. He was 50 years Of age aud a
native Of Norway.
Arrangements had been made for in
terment in the Goodland cemetery
but these plans we're arrested by "A dis
patch from his brother, HeIIick Garder,
of Boone county, Neb-, requesting the
remains embaImed aud held until he
should arrive on Tuesday. On Wed
ndsday the remains were shipped to
Nebraska for burial. Besides the
brother, the father of the deceased
lives in Norway.
The death of Mr.. Garder marks the
passing Of one of Sherman cOunty's
pioneers settler of 1887.

Recent Actions II "a. Y. Turner yVnu,d Lad
to the Belief That He Desired TO
Leave Thfs World.

Last week The Republic reported
the accidental shooting of N Y. Turner
by himself while cleaning a shot gun.
But Saturday night Dr. Smith was
called in haste TO attend him because
Of an attempt at self inflicted violence
Some diluted carbolic acid had been
left with Mr.. Turner as a dressing for
the gun-shot wound. This Turner
drank Then being distressed by the
action of the acid, he cut his wrist with
view OF severing an artery. Both of
these injuries will not prove serious.
These attempts at violence would
seem to indicate that Mr. Turner is
trying to take his own life, aud, Of
course, questions the shooting Of him
self as accidental
It is quite likely that Turner is
somewhat deranged mentally, for re-
peated attempts at suicide are not the
actions resulting from a healthy con-
dition.

MAI. HARVEY AT GOoDLAND.
Fusion Candidate for Lleutenaat Governor
TaIkrd 20 Good Audience at the
Opera House Monday Might

Maj. A n Harvey, candidate fOl
lieutenant governor on the fusion
ticket, spoke Monday evening to about
$50 people at the opera house. Lew
Humbarger, candidate for state super
intendent Of public instruction, who
was to speak in GoodIand with Mr.
Harvey, failed to make train cOnnec-
tiOns and could not get here.
DR.. Farrow acted as chairman and
"Parsou" Stewart opened the meeting
with Commute speech Mai. Harvey
was then introduced aud held the close
attention of his listeners for an hour
and a half.
While Mr.. Harvey did not attempt
oratoricaI fights, his speech was force
full aud bristled with telling points,
embracing nearly all the issues before
the people in this campaign. He is
far above the average campaign speak
er; treats the opposition fairly and did
not utter a word to which any reason
able man could object.
The speaker dwelt at length on the
trust question, taking the ground that
the republican policy is and has for q
long time been to protect and foster
property rights first, aud personal
rights were regarded as a secondary
matter. On the other baud the posi-
ton Of the Bryan democracy and the
Populists was to protect the individual
citizen first aud property rights of all
the citizens afterward, this being the
order Of the decalOgue-"thOu shalt
not kill; thou shalt not steal;" etc.
Mr. Harvey spoke against militarism
and paid an elegant tribute to our
citizen sOIdiery. Having been IN the
Spanish war himself he spoke from the
book. He took Roosevelt to task for
the statement that Zone regular soldier
was worth three volunteers"
His remarks on Imperialism were
convincing, and replying to the state
ment that jefferson was an expansion
ist, be said: jefferson by treaty
acquired territory to prevent war,
while Mckinley is waging war to
acquire territory" He was frequently
sppIauded during his speech, aud he
made an excellent impression on his
hearers.
Mr. Harvey arrived in the morning
and spent the day visiting and shaking
hands with voters After his speech
he, left for the east on a morning train.

The Rock Islands low rate excur-
sion run on October ?, for the purpose
of stimulating emigration into the
west, was a grand success. Oyer 700
people evailed themselves of the
chance to come west at a moderate
cost. Many of these people will no
doubt find homes here and the graft
tude of the state should be extended
to the Rock Island road. The second
excursion will be run on October 10,
and emigration agents of the road say
that it gives promise Of being the
largest excursion ever run by any rail
road. The low rate of fare, the we'll
known and favorable opportunities in
the west and the prosperity abound
ing throughout the country, is result
ing in the heavy traffic westward.
These low rate excursions we're inau-
gurated by the Rock Island and are
doing an immense amount Of good in
advertising and settling the west.
