PENSIONERS WRONGS
Commander Torrance Tells Of

MINNEAPOLIS. April Judge Ell
Torrance, commander in chief of the
G. a. r., just back from conference
with the president on pension matters,
says the report of the G.. \. Il. pension
committee was submitted to the presi-
dent more than week ago. At his re-
quest, however. it will not be made
public for some time. as the president
has under consideration the election of
a successor to Pension Commissioner
Evans. Judge Torrance, discussing the
report, says:
The committee found no fault with
the pension laws rs they now exist. but
rather with the manner in which the
laws have been construed and admins
tered by the pension bureau. y desire
for a change in the office of commits
sioner of pensions has been steadily
growing for two years past, until now
it is almost universal among the veter
ans. Conservative Grand Army men
believe. and with good cause, that great
injustice has been done to many de-
serving and worthy claimants.

Rhodes Great Plan.

LONDON, March 29.-The Daily News
says it is in position to assert that
the late Cecil Rhodes left the bulk of
his fortune, outside of some personal
and family requests, to the promotion
of his vast imperial plan of education.
This project embraces every land where
the union jack flies. Its purpose is the
intellectual bettcrment of the British
race throughout the world and the fos-

A Medicine That Will
Cure Cases Of Catarrh
Of Long Standing De-
serves a Very Hig h
Place in the Annals Of
Medical Discovery.
Such a Medicine is
Peruna.

THOUSANDS of testimonials are
pouring in every day of old cases
OF chronic catarrh that have re-
sisted oil treatment for years, being
promptly and permanently cured by
Peruna.
These reports do not all come from
obscure places, signed by obscure peo-
pie. a large proportion of these letters
are written by men and women promi-
nent in business and professional cir
cles and many of them well known from
ocean to ocean.
Colonel John Franklin Waters occu-
pies a prominent position among the
leading trial lawyers of Chicago. He
has probably obtained more verdicts
against corporations in suits for personal
injuries than any man of his age in the
United States, and during his practice
of over fifteen years he has not lost a
single case in the Supreme Courts of
Illinois and Missouri. He is a hard
worker and has the energy of four men.
For number of years he had been
afflicted with chronic catarrh and hav-
ing recently been thoroughly cured of
his old affection, an interview was OBJ
tanned with him by one of our reporters
in which he gave the following state
ment to the public:
CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 6, 1900.
The Pcruna Medicine Co., Columbus, o.:
GenfIemen---"H gives me great
pleasure TO testify to the merits of
such a worthy remedy for cafarrh as
your Peruna. had suffered for
number of years from this very dis
agreeable disease and had tried many
sO-caIIed remedies, but until used
Peruna none had the desired effect. I
feel that am perfectly cured and can
CheerfuiIy recommend Peruna to any
one suffering from cafarrk."

Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1902-10-09

If the Independent editor will
train his guns on these and on
the boodlers little and big who
have hung around the fusion pie
counter in this state, he will be
doing humanity a service and
perhaps will be kept busy enough
to give Beaver and Dech a rest.
The Independent undertakes to
convey the impression that all
the old leaders of populism are
with the fusionists and will vote
the fusion ticket. Nothing is
farther from the truth. Where
are Tom Watson, Col. S. f. Nor
ton, Lester c. Hubbard, Wilton

ent has my permission to haste
them all it wants to. Beaver and
the fusion leaders have both pur-
sued the same line of business,
to-wit: Obtaining votes through
false pretenses. Both are guilty,
and the voters should rid the state
of both.
But while the Independent
editor is in the basting business,
he should begin at the right end
of the string. Let him haste the
democratic and populist congress-
men and senators who met in sec
ret caucus in Washington ID. c.
in the spring of 1895 and formed
the fusion cabal. Let him haste
the populist traitors who first en-
gagged in organizing the fusion
conspiracy in Nebraska and as a
means to the end sought, began

The fusionists have nominated
w. J. Taylor of Cliff for state
senator. Mr.. Taylor has repre-
scented this county in the lower
house of the state Legislature for
two terms. He is a man of con-
siderable wind power and can
make as much noise as any man
of his size in the state. While
in the house he was a part of the
minority party and therefore un-
able to do anything but talk
against time. If he should go to
the senate next winter he would
be in the same fix, and it is to
the interest of the people of this
district to vote for M. l.. Fries,
who is a man of more ability
than Mr.. Taylor, and will also be
with the dominating party in the
Legislature, and in a position to
do some good for his constituents.

Let him haste the Juggling

have made merchandise of our
principles, and packed our con-
ventions with bourbon democrats.

The subject of this sketch,
Judge M. p. Kinkaid, the re-
publican nominee for congress
from the Sixth Congressional
District is representative of the
industrial element of the voters
of Nebraska. He was born on a
farm in West Virginia the son Of
farmer and was brought up on
a farm and knows from expert
ce the life of a farmer and a
enfarmers boy.
In his boyhood the harvester
and mower had not come into use
and he with other boys of his
time followed the old fashioned
cradle with the rake and raled
and bound the grain by hand.
1t was no doubt this physical
exercise and Industrious habits
when boy that accounts for the
vigorous, strong man he is to-
day in body and mind.
Those who personally know
the Judge knows him to be a man
who is physically we'll developed
and preserved and as well as cul-
tured and strong intellectually.
1t is said of him that during the
twelve years he was Judge in his
district that it was his custom
daily to walk from three to five
miles for exercise. Even last

summer while in Alaska he walk
ed over 500 miles from Nome into
the Article Circle most of the
time to procure important evil
denCe in law case in which he
was interested.
He has been a resident of Ne
braska for twenty two years and
in that time has never lost day
by sickness. He is thoroughly
conversant with the needs of
Nebraska and being in the prime
of life and strong physically and
mentally he will be able to ac-
complish much more in congress
than would one, without eX-
perience in public life, or on the
decline of life. AS member of
the state Legislature he was
honOred with the craftsmanship
on the Judiciary committee and
he was elected several consecu-
tive terms as Judge of the dis
trict in which he resides. All of
which indicates something of the
esteem in which he is held by
those who are in position to best
judge of his ability. He is and
always has been especially popu-
lar with the farmers and ranch
men of his district where he has
so long resided, because of in
dustrial habits impartial Judge

Verify, fusion is 50 near dead
that preparations for the funeral
need no longer be deferred. At
the late democratic convention
in Buffalo county when motion
was made to fuse all but nine of
the delegates got up and walked
out, declaring that the fusion
wing of the party had delivered
the democratic vote to the pops
for the last time. In Dawson
county fusion was vigorously
voted down last Saturday, and
the pops and democrats each
have a ticket in that county.
What little breath is left in
fusion will be effectually knocked
out at the coming election

ment and vigorous methods of
conducting his courts.
In speaking of his industry we
have heard it said by his towns
men that while he was on the
bench he would burn wood in
preference to coal that he might
have the pleasure of saving the
wood which provided him the
physical exercise in which he
delighted,
He is tall athletic and the pic
ture of health and strength and
man of culture and experience
and every way qualified to fill the
position in congress to which he
aspires with distinction and hon
or to the district. Another rea-
son why it would be to the in
terest of the district to elect him
is that he is a republican and
would be in full sympathy with
the administration and would be
able to secure favorable consider
alton of his measures from the
party in the majority where one
of the opposition would not.
From every view in which Judge
Kinkaid's candidacy may be con-
sidcred, the odds are in his favor.
A vote for him will be a vote for
an honorable worthy and capable
man for the place.

The nomination of Judge Wall
of Loup City for state Senator for
Buffalo and Sherman counties
was happy selection. The
judge is especially qualified for
the position and would be power
in the Legislature. A stronger
candidate could not have been
chosen in the district. Six years
ago the judge was the republican
nominee for the same place,
when the district was about 800
majority pop. He was defeated
by less than 400, we predict his
election this year by a handsome
majority.

O'NRILL, Nebraska, September
24.-(Special. The fusionists
of this district, having become
alarmed over having nominated
such feeble old man as General
Barry for congress, have been
lately filling the fusion press with
stories that Judge Kinkaid is
also old aud feeble. These
stories are amusing to the O'Neill
people, who know Judge Kinkaid
to be in the prime of his life.
During the Judges many years
residence in O'Neill he has never
been known to miss a days work
on account of sickness and no
matter what the weather he al
ways takes walk of from three
to five miles every day, and be-
sides the judge is one of the dis
clples of the Swoboda exercise.
and is considered one of the
strongest and most active at hletes
IN this part of the state. 1t will
be remempered also that Judge
hlnkald visited Alaska last sum-
mer, at which time he walked
over 500 miles in the wilds of
Alaska. Judge Kinkaid is max
ing a telling and effective cam
paign in the district and the
people of O'Neill feel veey conf
dent OF his election by good
safe maJority.-Omaha Bee.
