platform in the state may be ac-
ceptable we cannot go by state
platforms, but must wait for
the national platform of two
years hence. What that plat
form will be no one dares youch-
safe. If BRYAN and his follow
ing control the convention it
will perhaps be a platform suit
ed in some degree to the Popu-
lists of this state. Ifthe conven-
tion is controlled by the Hill or
Cleveland factions it willcertain-
ly not be favored by Populists.
The Democratic party, as was
said in county convention Sat
urday, is a mass of warning fac
tons. We hear of the Cleveland
harmony idea, of the Bryan har-
mony idea, of Pettigrew and a
new party, of Watterson and
the southern Democracy disa-
greeing with all of the other
leaders. In other words, the
factions of the party are hope
lessly apart and cannot consoli-
dase into a successful party.
After debating all these phases
of Democracy we are willing to
confess that we are an agnostic
as to the next platform it may
produce. At the present time
you can go TO bed with the DEM
oerats and be anywhere from a
Tom Johnson, Golden Rule Jones
socialistic, Populistic Demo-
crat or a Clevelardistic conser-
yative, but will wake up with
the next national platform to
find yourself in either bedlam
of parties, or il the improbable
thing, harmony, should come, it
will be the harmony of high
sounding Issues compromised
and weak enough to suit the
warning factions, with the prin-
cipal issues the Offices.
On the other hand the Repub-
lican party does offer induce
ments to the Populist to come
back where he belongs. In
these ways and in others the Re-
publican party offers a chance
not found in the Democratic
party to work with a hope of
accomplishing. For the reason
that the Peoples party is out of
business and we see nothing in
the Democratic party to go to
them, we have decided to run a
Republican paper. We shall! no
doubt find many things in the
party which will not be to our
liking, but as beloved and great
members of the party as Sena-
tor Hoar disagree with the Re
publican party on some meas
ures, yet deem it true that they
can better work for what they
believe right as Republicans than
by boiling the party.

BACK TO THE FOLD.

Aberdeen News The Mar
shall County Sentinel, published
at Britton, for many years one
of the most stiff-necked Populist
papers in the northwest, has re-
nounced that doctrine and en-
braced the Republican faith.
Harry E. Phelps, the editor, a
bright young man and an attor-
ney al law, gives a number OF
good reasons for the change in
the current issue of his paper,
which can be best understood by
quoting his own language. Af-
ter referring at length to the
Populist state convention held
at Huron on June 25th he says :
Our delegates TO that conven-
tion fought strenuously against
taking the name Democrat and
suggested either nominating a
straight ticket or taking a new
name. The majority however
voted these ideas down and de
cided to not nominate tn ket
this fall. Many of the delegates
then went into the Democratic
convention and participated in
nominating a straight Demo
cratic ticket. The state conven-
ton decided that in the state at
least the Peoples party was out
Of business for two years, and
that means for good.
On Saturday, August Cd, the
county convention was held in
the court house at Britton, and
the question was again taken up
OF the advisability of nominal
ing a county Peoples party
ticket, 1t was decided not to
nominate a ticket. Thus by a
narrow margin OF one, the Peo-
pies party in the county has let
go to the other two parties in
the county.
The decision of the convention,
as Chairman Creaser said, made
the Populists political orphans,
but if it made political orphans
of individuals it made of us
twins and orphans two, for we
were individually orphaned and
also left with a newspaper which
IS an orphan.
Such is the situation presented
to the editor of the Sentinel.
Like a majority OF the populists,
we came into the Peoples party
from the Republican. Had we
wanted to be a Democrat, we
could have gone to the Demo
CRATIC party instead of the Pop
ulist. Now the Peoples party
IS gone and we are left to choose
which party to support, and we
hope we have decided for that
party in which we feel that the
most is being done for the COM
mon people.
Ihe Democratic party, to our
mind, offers no hope for the con-
scientious Populist. While its

Rush 90 stock.

Cattle shipments from the vicinity
of Huron to Eastern markets were but
slightly diminished by the decrease in
prices in Eastern markets. Great train
loads of cattle, horses, hogs and sheep
are continually going East, and yet the
stock yards at almost every station are
kept full OF stock awaiting shipment.
Generally speaking, stock is in fine
condition and buyers are paying fair
prices for good stock. The rush of
live stock to Eastern markets has not
been SO great in several years as at
this time, and there is no indication of
a let-up yery soon. A shortage OF
cars interferes somewhat with the
work of clearing the stock yards, and
buyers are able to keep far ahead of
the transportation companies in pro-
viding stock for shipment. Herds are
doing well IN the open prairies, and
fine rains throughout the Jim river
valley the pt st three days has provid-
ed water and liyened up p~asturage, as
well as putting the ground in fine com
dition for blowing.

Marriages Expedited.

Only recently the complaint was
made that the preparations for a we'd
ding were becoming so elaborate, cost
IL and troublesome that young men
preferred to remain bachelors rather
than undergo the ordeal. In view of
this complaint, 1t Is ~reassur.ng to
learn that, owing to the perfection of
system established in the county
building. weddings may now be per-
formed there with the greatest dis
patch. A couple, II is reported, may
seek the marriage-license window at
any time in the day. and then depart
from the county building man and
wife in the space of eight minutes
and twenty seconds. The gain over
the slow, old-tashioned wedding, which
requires weeks for preparation and a
whole day for the ceremony itself, is
obvious. A man may now get married
In less time than ii takes TO ride

methods of courtship on tie lightning

A Wonderful pill.

Freedom, Mo, Nov. 3d.A-A splendid
remedy has recently been introduced
in this neighborhood. 1t is called
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and it has cured
rheumatism right and left. On every
hand may be heard stories of the re-
markable r~ecoveries, and from what
has been stated already, there seems
to be no case of rheumatism that
Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure.
One of those who has already tested
the virtue of Dodd's Kidney Pills is
Katie Anderson of this place, who
says:
""f can't say enough for Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. They have helped me so
much, / suffered very severely with
rheumatism. Five boxes cured me
completely. They are certainly the
most wonderful medicine / have ever
used"
Usage county abounds In Just such
cases, and il the good work keeps on
there will soon be no rheumatism left
In this part Of the state.

HARD LUCK.
Fires ard Casualties In the Jensen
Family.

Fires ard Casualties In the Jensen
Family.
Smith Jensen who, with his family,
resides on the west shore of Lake
Kampeska, near WATERFOWL, came
near losing his house by fire Sunday.
He and his family had been to church,
and upon returning dinner was pre-
pared and the far2ily sat down to the
table, when n of the little girls ran
in and told him that there was a prai-
RE fire coming. MI. Jensen rushed out
and worked for a couple of hours to
save the grain stacks from the flames.
When the stacks were thought to be
safe, he returned to the house and dis
covered that in his absence the roof OF
his house had caught fire from q de-
fective stove pipe, and in order to save
the house he had to chop of the burn
ing planks and shingles, as water sufi-
cient to quench the flames could not
be secured. The prairie fire destroyed
nearly all his pasture land. Mr.. Jen-
sen has had hard luck this year. Last
summer a son fell from a mower ana
sustained a broken limb and other in
juries, and the first of this month a
little daughter shot and killed herself
accidentally.
