visedly, and that every legitimate eff
fort Will be used by the republican ma
tl0nal committee IN securing your de.
feat.
You misrepresent our STAGE in the
United States senate. The course YOU
naYe pursued is unpatrlotic. My OBJ
servation leads me to conclude that YOU
are the most unreliable and unpopular
man In the U. S. senate. Your COL
leagues look upon you with distrust.
You have no weight in Washington, or
any where else as public man: all
your utterances are of snarling ma
ture, and the people have come to un-
derstand that you play the rat of q
demagogue. Whom at home you stand
up and express yourself as being
ashamed OF your country, and wishing
that you could blot out the record of the
Spanish war. Whom you publicly de-
clare that the stars ana stripes are "0nly
. rag and piece Of cloth !" because the
present administration docs not please
you, you show your inferiority and lit
tleness as man and q citizen. You
SAID that our government should take
no interest in protecting the American
teachers from destruction in Chin0.
That is another evidence of your want
OF respectable citizenship. When you
were asked In the senate just at the
close OF it's last session 10 yield q NOM
ents time from making campaign
speech, to enable the calander to be-
called on pension bills, and declared
there were many bills on the calender
OF much more importance than pension
bills you made q mistake, and every
veteran in this state should assist in
retiring you from the United States
senate, for you have insulted them al
most beyond endurance. You are CIV
Ing aid and comfort to those who are in
open rebellion against our government;
you have more respect for Aguinaldo
than you have for American citizens
and you seem to express your regrets
that you are not Filipino, 80 that
you could fight until you we're gray"
You are demo-populist, not be-
cause you are patriotic and sincere, but
because you desire to be political boss,
as you have been for more than twenty
years in this stats and territory. You
have no love for Mr.. Bryan or his
cause beyond YOUR own personal ambi-
tion to use it to further your political
aspirations. You are 80 politically dis.
honest that you would sacrifice Mr..
Bryan or any other candidate to boost
yourself back into the senate of the u.
8. You assure me that if I twill take
an interest in the matter that it will re-
suit in much good" Briefly 1 have
assured you of my interest in this
campaign, and hope to aid in retiring
you from public life because "it will re-.
suit in much good" Yours truly,

GOOD FOR DULL MONTHS.
Over 5000 Acres of Land CONVEYED
In Dawson County in July and
August.

The months of July and August are
not the best months for the sale of real
estate, yet those two months averaged
up very satisfactorily for Dawson coun-
ty. The number of acres conveyed for
July amounted to 3,040 and the money
involved was S27,l85. For August
there were 5,240 acres conveyed and
the amount realized in cash was S46, 6,015.
In conversation with one of tho real
estate men he stated that the indications
were that the month OF September
would show double the amount of con-
veyances for July and August.

Rumored Absorption of the Wabash
by Other Lines.

Rumored Absorption of the Wabash
by Other Lines.
Chicago Times Herald: President
o. d. Ashley, of the Wabash, says in
reference to reports that negotiations
looking to the sale of part of the Wa
bash system are on foot: THE story
that the western lines of our system
are to be turned over to the Atchison
is simply ridiculous. l have no know
ledge whatever of other negotiations
alleged to be made by the Vanderbilts
to acquire the Wabash or any part of
It,"
The Vanderbilt story came by tele-
graph from London via New York,
and was to the effect that plans are
maturing for the absorption of the
Erie and Wabash systems by the New
York Central. 1t is asserted in this
connection that William K. Vanderbilt.
has been quietly buying Erie in the
open market, and has also been gath
ering up Pennsylvania, and that ne.
gotiations are now pending for turn.
ing over the Wabash lines between
the Mississippi and Kansas City to the
Atchison system. The Atchison now
has lines out of Chicago to Kansas
City, but not to st. Louis. BY acquir-
ing the Wabash lines west of the
Mississippi the Atchison will again
have st. Louis on its map. The New
York Central according to the tele-
graphic report, would take over the
Wabash lines east Of the Mississippi.
