Yours for lowest prices,

he would bet on Mckinley, that
Bryan was right in his opinion, but
that he had no possible show Of elec-
ton. And so it is all through this
part of the country. The same in
fluences that produce these impress
sions here are at work everywhere.
There is absolutely no reason for
turning the Republicans down. None
for putting the Democrats in There
never was time when so many great
national and world questions we're be-
fore the people Of all nations as at
present. | feel sure that the out.
come will be satisfactory with us.
We have Indian questions that are
in an unsettled state. They are
holding us back. The white man
wants to close up the Indian situa'
ton. The Indian has had a mighty
soft snap Of it. He does not want to
be weaned. | think the coming win
ter will see matters settled diinitely

CHANGED THE CARNIVAL DATE
Abilene's Show Will Be Held on
October Third.

The executive committee Of the
carnival met last night and changed
the date again to Wednesday Oct. 5
instead of Oct. A. This was to ac-
commodate the fremen and band
who want to 60 to Wamego the 4th.
The temporary organization with
G. c. Sterl chairman and H. J.
Hodge secretary came to an end. Mr..
Hodge has all the time refused to be
permanent secretary and only agreed
to act temporarily in that place. Mr..
Sterl also declined to serve. Perma-
nent officers were chosen as follows:
Chairman, j. E. Brewer.
Secretary, E. B. Malott.
Treasurer, R. NJ. White.
Mr.. Brewer and Mr.. Malott are
both in Colorado and hence the honors
came to them unsought. The offices
sought the men in the fullest sense Of
the word and the recipients Of this
high honor will doubtless feel compli.
mented by their selection. The fl.
nance committee had raised about
$3.50 and reported that there will be
no difficulty in getting 5000 or 81 900
for the days sport. Adjourned.

SOME EARNEST WORDS.

ing to keep tab on the public politi-
cal pulse as close this campaign as it
is possible to do. | had a letter from
q personal friend who is at Waldo,
Oregon, at present a few days ago.
He says that Mckinley will carry
California, Washington and Oregon
sure by large majorities In fact
believe that the Republicans will
carry every northern and western
state. And possibly some OF the
southern states. This may seem
very optimistic; but "them is my
sentiments any way"
Thirty-six years ago the same peo'
pie who we're crying that the days OF
the republic were in danger, and that
il Lincoln were elected that free gov
ernment would be at an end, are hal.
looing Imperialism now. Then Grants
campaign came along, and these
people frightened themselves almost
into insanity for fear that he would
proclaim himself dictator. Every
four years they have had fearful,
dreadful bugaboo Of some kind. Well
they have seen danger and rights
till do not believe that the people
can be frightened any more. | have
not seen man so far in this cam
paign that looked like he believed a
word Of such stuff. The men who
want office, and are on the outside,
have possibly worked themselves up
to believe a lie; but the great mass OF
the people are honest and will vote
right as they have usually done in
the past.
| had conversation with an intel
ligent Democratic farmer few days
back on the situation. He said that
be was making more money than he
had ever in his life. That he hoped
and believed that McKinly would be

afford to take chances on a change at
this time. In conversation with one

The cream OF anything is the best of

Montreal, Boston and other great cities
takes from the special news service ofthe
leading eastern and foreign newspapers
as supplementary to it's reports of the
Associated Press, the greatest world
wide, newsgathering agency in the

special news service Of one big eastern
daily, of which some of it's Minnesota
contemporaries boast, but to have the
best that they all have. For proof of
