His First Battle.
Harlem Ii

Bravery, like many other qualities,
must be cultivated before it will stand
an unexpected strain. A young officer
thus frankly describes his first expert
ence In battle: We were barely In posi-
don when | heard distant cannon,
and at the same instant saw the ball
high In the air. As near as | could cal
culate it was going to strike exactly
where stood, and I dismounted with
remarkable agility, only to see the
missile of war pass sixty feet over
head. felt rather foolish as | looked
at my men, but good deal relieved
when | saw that they, too, had all
sauatted on the ground and were none
of them looking at me. quickly mount
ed again and commanded them to
stand up" We were ordered to
charge soon after, and the enemy easily
gave way before us, for which was
most devoutly thankful. We passed
some dead and wounded, the first sad
results OF real war that | had ever
seen. At night black clouds overspread
the sky, the rain fell In torrents, and
not even camp fire could be kept to
light up the impenetrable gloom, I
stretched myself upon the soaked
ground The pale. rigid faces that l
had seen turned up In the evening sun
appeared before me. as tried In vain
to shield my own from the driving rain.

my eyes full Of mud closed them in
my first sleep upon battlefield.

"And you; will you feel it?' he per-

Vera; would do anything in the world
to please John, but / cannot be present

She turned to him. stretched out her
hands; the warm glow of the fire lighted
up her lovely face and her eloquent,
pleading eyes, and fiickered over the
graceful and beautiful figure, whose per-
feet outlines haunted his fancy forever.
'Stay, for my sake, because | ask
YOU" she cried, with u sudden passion;
''or else tell me why you must CO."
There came no answering fash into his
eyes, onll he lowered them beneath hers;
he sat down suddenly, as though he was
weary, on the chair whence he had risen
at her entrance so that she stood before
him, looking down at him.
There was certain repression in his
face which made him look stern and cold,
as one who struggles with mortal
temptation.

measured voice; sit is impossibility. But,

She stood perfectly silent for the space
OF some two or three seconds; she scarce
ly breathed, her very heart seemed to
have ceased to beat it was as II she
had been turned to stone. She knew not
what she felt; it was neither pain, nor
joy, nor regret; it was only sort Of dull
apathy that oppressed her very being.
Presently she put forth her hands, al
most mechanically, and reached her
cloak and hat from the chair behind her.
The soft rustic of her dress upon the
carpet struck his ear; he looked up with
start, like one walking out Of pain
full dream.
You are goingr' he said, in his usual
voice.
Yes; / am going"
He stood up, facing her.
There is nothing more to be said. is
there?" He said it not as though he
asked her a question, but as one assert
ing q fact.
Nothing, l suppose" she answered,
rather YEARLY, not looking at him as she
spoke.
II shall not see you again, as l leave
tomorrow morning by the early train.
You will, at least, wish me Goodbye
"Good-by, Maurice"
"Good-by, Vera; heaven bless you."

self OF her long fur cloak; she flung it
over the back Of chair. and then took
off her hat and gloves. Maurice was
strangely unlike himself this morning,

operations, he only stood leaning against

her. looking at her.

The Negro and the South.

The country is slowly awakening on
the subject of the negro and the south :.
For many years the matter has been al
lowed to slumber. The democratic party
has practically DISTINGUISHED the ne
groes in several of the southern states
within the past year or two, and has
done this by law. 1t had been doing
it with the shot gun but firing of that
method they have changed their plans,
but this makes it no less wrong. They
not only wrong the negro by depriving
him of his right of suffrage but they
wrong the republicans of the country
by the large democratic representation
in congress which they maintain by
their methods. Representatives are
divided among the several states ac-
cording to the inhabitants and when
half the inhabitants of South Carolina
are DISTINGUISHED the other half have
twice the power in congressional and
presidential elections they do here.
This is becoming glaring wrong
One voter in South Carolina has many
times the influence in national affairs,
both in the election of congress and
president that we do here. In that
state two years ago, for example, in the
first district there were only 4, 56l votes
cast for congressman, in the secon dis
trict only 1926 and in the third 1861
while in this ninth Iowa district we
cast 40, 1874 votes. This shows the
democratic party up in very bad
light when they are making such a
howl about liberty, the consent of the
governed, and the equality of man.
The constitution makes it imperitiye
that representation in congress shall
be reduced when a state DISTINGUISHES
any of its citizens, and that should be
done now IN fairness to the north

The school boy editor of the Advo-
cate gives few columns of slush in
imitation of his hero Bryan's style in
denunciation of capital and in praise of
labor. These extracts are filled with
a mixture of classical illusions and
slang expressions and are calculated by
its anthor to change Audubon county
to bowling populist community. 1t
is pity for the reputation of the local
papers of western Iowa, which are said
to be sensible and matter-of-fact, that
these extracts from the school-boy's
harum-scarum and visionary stump
speech efforts, are appearing in one of
them.

The Advocate emphasizes that the
democratic candidates are running to
aid the principles of the So called dem
ocratic party. This is doubtless doubly
true as to Mr.. Mason, democratic can
didate for county clerk, who has only
within recent years become democrat.
The reason for his conversion to de-
mocracy, we learn, were, his strong
belief in free silver coinage at 16 to /
and residence of few years in the
south where, as he claims, all respect
able people are democrats. Mr.. Ma
son has right to be democrat for
these reasons but they are poor reasons
to advance in Audubon county, especi-
ally for republican support.

II Happened In a Drug Store.

Gone day last winter lady came to
my drug store and asked for brand
of cough medicine that / did not have
in stock" says Mr.. @. r. Grandin, the
popular druggist of Ontario, N. Y.
"She was disappointed and wanted to
know what cough preparation 1 could
recommend. said to her that could
freely recommend Cham berlain's cough
remedy and that she could take bot
tie of the remedy and after giving it a
fair trial If she did not find it worth
the money to bring back the bottle
and would refund the price paid. In
the course of day or two the lady
came back in company of a friend in
need of a cough medicine and advised
her to buy bottle of Chamberlain s
cough remedy / consider that good
recommendation for the remedy. 1t is

Did you ever hear of mbination
donating to the democratic campaign
fund, or in any way supporting the
democratic ticket? If both parties
occupy the same position concerning
the trust, why would not a few of them
support the democratic ticket. They
support the party that gives them their
existence. Advocate.
is this kick at the democrats who
recently received the circular letter
from the democratic county chairman
asking them each to send him $500?
Isn't the democratic combination"
putting up enough money to run the
democratic campaign in this county /?
Speaking more seriously, we think
Croker and Van Wyck and national
chairman Jones and several others of
those trust men are supporting the
democratic ticket"

The Advocate still continues to run
counter to its candidates interests and
insists that Graham and Hansen and
the other democratic county candidates
are in politics for the principle at stake.
This is somewhat of handicap on
them in this republican county where
they can't be elected. except by the
help of republican votes. Imagine
Mr.. Graham going upto republican
and telling him that he accepted the
nomination for county attorney because
of his devotion to free silver, anti-ex-
pansion and the dear old democratic
party, and asking his republican friend
for the sake of those democratic princi-
pies and, not because he wants the
salary and honor of the Office, to vote
for him. That may be Nebraska
politics, but it isn't the way Graham
does. No, not quite. He may believe
in those principles, perhaps does, but
he skillfully conceals it when solicit
ing republican aid.

There will be two amendments sub
mitted to the voters of this state this
fall, one being the one which is required
to be submitted every tenth year as to
whether q convention shall be called
to revise the constitution. This will of
course be voted down for there is no
need or call for such a revision. The
other is whether we shall have elections
once in two years instead OF every year
This is important in some ways. The
prevailing opinion seems to favor it.
Most of our states have adopted the
biennial plan. We have too much
politics.

Kansas Democrat Bolts.

Leavepworth, Kas., Oct, 11.-For-
mer State Senator p. G. Lowe, of this
city, prominent and well known Kan
sas democrat, has decided to support
President Mckinley for reelection.
Mr.. Lowe has been police commissioner
sheriff, state senator and one of the
democratic leaders in Kansas. A few
days ago he received communication
from J. Mack Love, chairman of the
democratic state committee, asking
him to contribute to the democratic
campaign fund. Mr.. Lowe sent the
following to MIR. Love in reply:
/ herewith return your card, as res
quested, but without tine coin asked for.
My duty lies in voting for and support
ing the best interests and the perma-
nence of our government-today the
best on earth-and whatever / am able
to do in my humble way will be in that
direction, and not for the encourage
ment of the guerrilla element that de-
nounces and villifies wise administra-
ton struggling to maintain the honor
and the integrity of our country.
With kindest regards for your
personality and thanking you for
remembering me, even though We see
our duty differently, i am very truly
yours. p. u. Lowe.
The above has more than ordinary
interest to our people here because Mr..
Love is we'll known to our people, hav-
ing been mayor of Audubon and a
leading democratic politician here. He
has considerable prominence now in
Kansas politics, but it seems he oc-
casionally runs up against the wrong
fellow.

Rural Free Delivery.

The last congress, which was repub-
lican, appropriated $3.50, 0G0 for the
establishment of rural free delivery.
These routes are being put in as fast
as possible. They are proving very
popular as they give those who live in
the country the advantages of mail SER
vice enjoyed in the cities.
The Cleveland administration for
three successive years rejected this
plan aud only established few routes
when congress made it imperative.
Postmaster General Bissell opposed
the plan and Wilson gave it no on
enlargement. The present admins,
tration has established 2,039 rrrtes to
date by which l,427 800 farmers
families are served. Before the end OF
the fscrl year 100000 farmers
families will be thus served.
The OBJECT of this service has been to
increase the mail to the parties served
on an average of 40 per cent. The
largest increase has been in daily
papers and in packages by mail,
Another noticeable effect has been the
Improvement CT the highways over
which the routes go,
The establishment of these routes
marks new era in the development
of our country. 1t shows again what
the public already knows, that the re-
publican party is the party best fitted
and most able to meet new conditions
as they arise and to successfully carry
forward any new movement.

Senator Frye on Expansion.

AS soon as Mr.. Mckinley is re-
elected president of the United States,
and Mr.. Bryan is conveyed to the
political tomb, there will be peace in
the Archipelago, and not until then.
We will give the Philippines good
government, as good as we have here
we will respect all their rights, politi-
cal and civil, religious and social. We
will build their roads and highways so
that they can get the fruits of the
earth to the sea, and to the world. We
will educate them, build them school
houses and churches; we will send
them teachers; we will encourage them
to work and pay them fair wages.
When we started we had 100000
square miles of territory. Thomas
Jefferson added l, 121, 900 square miles
North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho,
Montana, Washington, Kansas, Nebras-
ka, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas and
Louisiana-all at one fell swoop. We
annexed Florida in 1919 and then in
lS45 Texas, and then in 1S48 New
Mexico and California, and in 1867
Alaska; and we find ourselves with
$500, 600 square miles of territory in
stead of the 800, 900 that we started
with. Have We ever surrendered any
of it? Not an inch. Will we ever?
Not an inch. Why, only short time
ago, when Canada wanted to take away
from us little strip of ice up there in
Alaska, We were ready to go to war
with Great Britain because she backed
Cananda up in it.

the price of wheat will go down, the
