The steamboat Ethel arrived yester-
day from Augusta with a miscellane-
Gus cargo larger than any those boats
have brought down for some time. The
upriver freights have been fairly good,
and the complaint of the company has
been about the smallness of the freights
this way. AS a general thing factory
goods such as domestics, ETC., are be-
ing shipped North later in the season,
and these give those boats a most prof
liable freight.

Hard on the Honest Shipper.

The western railroads have
adopted a new rule to take effect
the first of the year in regard to
transportation of men with stock.
Stockmen will not be given free
transportation to return after
taking their cattle to market and
will not be given free transporta-
ton to go to buy stock.
These privileges have been SC
frequently abused by those whom
the roads sought to favor il
caused the new rule. 1t will be
hard blow on the honest mar
who has always been fair with
the railroads. 1t is an instauc,
where the innocent must suffer
with the guilty. Can there no
be rule with sufficient protec
ton made so that the homes
shipper and buyer can continu,
to enjoy the courtises of thu
roads?

New Features.

This week we present the
readers of the REPUBLICAN with
two new features that we hope
may meet the approval of the
general public and the women
especially. One of these new
features is the illustrated month
ly calendar on which the REPuB-
I,IcAN has the exclusive right for
the county, which will be ready
reference for all. The other fea-
ture is the "Women's Pattern
Department." illustrating one or
more of the latest styles and af-
fording the readers an opportun-
ity to obtain the patterns by
sending ten cents with the cou-
pom to the Chicago house when
the pattern will be mailed i'm
mediately. This is no advertis-
ing scheme, but is simply for the
benefit of our readers who may
be interested in keeping posted
on the new fashions. The price
of the pattern merely covers its
cost and postage. These styles
will be found this week on the
seventh page and we will try to
have it occupy the same page
each week so our readers will be
able to readily find it.
The REPUBLICAN will endeavoI
to keep in the lead of it's com.
petitors as it has in the past by
furnishing its patrons with up
to-date news, adding such new
features from time to time a:
the general reader appreciates.

Of the ten postoffice officials
under indictment for graft as the
result of the Bristow investiga-
ton, not one entered the service
under the civil service rules.
They were all political appoint
ments. The other twenty-five
caught on the net are outside
politicians or manufacturers. -
State Journal.
1t is also a fact worthy of note,
especially by those democrats
who are so much exercised over
the discovery of the alleged
crookedness in the department,
that all the principal offenders
are democrats who were appoint
ed by the last democratic presi-
dent. That party was in power
just long enough to inject the
virus of graft into the civil servi-
ce and the republican party has
been busy ever since trying to
eradicate it.-York Times.

With this issue the RRPUBL1-
CAN completes the old year. 1t
has been one of activity in BUSH
ness circles with the citizens of
Broken Bow and the county.
There are very few, either in
town or county, but what can
congratulate themselves with the
progress made. Those that are
not better off financially than
they were at the beginning ofthe
year 1903 are exceptions and not
the rule. We are pleased to note
that the REPUBLICAN has been
favored with a liberal share of
the business. We have more
than held our own. While our
Office help has had to put in many
extra hours to keep up with the
business, our subscription list
has continually added to and we
have increased our list over two
hundred. Thanking the public
for the liberal patronage received
we enter upon the duties and re-
sponsibilities of the New Year en-
couraged to renewed vigor in our
efforts to serve our generation.
Hoping to merit your continued
patronage the REPUBLICAN ex-
tends to all a Happy New
Year"

For some time the opposition
has endeavored to break the unit
ed front Of the republican party
by trying to Great jealosy between
the admirers of President Roose-
welt and Mark Hanna. In as
Stunning this attitude they ex-
pressed great admiration for the
president and put up the danger
signal against Hanna. Failing
in this way to cause split they
have now changed their tactics.
The president is denounced in
the west for investigating the
ranch business and in the east
for not standing with the money
power. This is an evidence tina,
they now conceed that Roosevelt
will be renominated and the only
hopes left them is to prejudice
the voters against him on loca

of that company that its EN-

child. He contracted a slight
cold few days ago and paid but
little attention to it. Yesterday

arrive, another coughing spell
came on and Duckwell died from

field hands and house servants of
the south could work to the best
advantage in their new surround
ings i'll a northern climate where
the work was entirely different
from their former occupation.
But such was the disposition of
the white people in the different
parts of Canada and such the de-
mand for laborers i'll this fast
developing section, that the
Anti-Slavery Society of Canada
in its second report made in 1853:
"The true principle is now to
assume that every man unless
disabled by sickness can sustain
himself and his family after he
has obtained steady employment
and our observation warrants the
assumption. All that able
bodied men and women require
is fair chance, friendly advice,
little encouragement and some
times a little assistance at first.
Those who are really willing to
work and there are very few who
are not, can procure employment
in short time after their
arrival"
The fact that there were large
tracts of good land in that portion
of Canada accessible to the fugi-
tives was a fortunate circum-
stance, for the desire to possess
and cultivate their own land was
widespread among the escaped
slaves. This eagerness drew
many of them into the dense
Canadian woods to hew out
little farms for themselves, and
live the life of pioneers. Very
many nice cozy log cabins were
built and small lots of ground
were cleared off where they made
comfortable homes, and they
managed even here tomake some
arrangement whereby their chill
dren could have some education.
Encouragement was not lacking
to induce refugees to take up land
as several Aid Societies were or
ganized both in Canada and In
the United States for this pur-
pose and these societies procured
tracts of land and founded colon
les on them. Pre-.
While all this was being done
in the North the masters in the
South were equally active in en-
deavoring to prevent their slaves
from attempting TO escape. The
state of ignorance in which tine
slave population was sought to
be kept must be regarded as au
! admission by the master class

ali persons OF African blood TO
show that they were residents OF
the state before the ratification
of this article.
But as far as Randolph county
was concerned it was almost a
failure. Just II was registered.
One by Geo. w. Monks, who was
then the county clerk, who said
to my father on one occasion that
if each negro registration
brought him $4,000 he would
not be very rich man, for that
only one was issued in 1883, two
years after the law was passed.
The other IL were issued by H.
II. Neff, who was a first class
clerk, but l was told by one who
had aeen the record that Mr..
Neff had little heart in his work.
-Four years ago / was in con-
versation with Col. Neff, then
nearly ninty years old, about the
changes in our county, when the
subject of sla very and its horrors
came up, Immediately his eyes
frightened and he said:
Doctor, Thank God there
were but few in this county who
ever favored slavery" and then
spoke very feelingly of my father
and Others who unfinchingly
stood by the cause of freedom.
He was a Methodist and he
said they and the Friends stood
side by side in pleading the cause
of the down troddeh slave.
He gave me an account OF the
separation in the Methodist
church on the slavery question IN
or about 1910 and in a modest
way told of the part he himself
played in the cause and some
thing Of how he felt when in the
army when the proclamation OF
Lincoln was issued. He said he
did not haveyto be made over but
gladly accepted it as one step
higher in mans civilization.
Col. Neff has since that gone
to his reward at ripe old age
and the end of an earthly life
that was a beacon worthy of our
admiration.
1t might be we'll to give some
idea of how the ex-slaves were
received in Canada and why
they were not driven from pillar
to post after reaching the Gamma
dian shores.
In the first place the deep root
ed prejudice against anything
that looked like the equality or
its possibilities that existed il
the United States did not obtain
in the English domains and al
though there were casters ir
their society it was not on &C
count of color.
The circumstances attending
the settlement of the refugees il
Canada were favorable to theil
kindly reception by the native
people. The attitude of thu
Canadian government toward
this class of immigrants was al
ways one of welcome and protec
ton.
