Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930, 1905-11-09
Democrats get Treasurer.
Sheriff and Judge.
Returns from all the Precincts Show
Majorities for Quible, Simons
and Judge Towne.

Failing to read the signs Alright
the local bosses concluded that the
party majority was so great that
they might disregard the wishes of
the people in the selection of can
didates. The result was that they
made up a slate, nominated it, and,
in effect, said to the party mem
bership: 1t is not your place to
nominate a ticket. We will attend
to all that. All we ask of you is
to get out and vote your ticket,
and vote it straight" The voter
began to ask himself on what meat
these bosses fed that they had
grown so great. He talked it ov-
er with his neighbor: he concluded
it was about time he was given a
voice in the convention if he was
expected to deliver his vote, and
this led him to reflect upon the
folly of blind partisanship and he
blushed to think of the votes he
had cast for unworthy men, sim
ply because they were on his tick
ct. He then resolved to be free
citizen and not an asset of any
political ring. He started QUIT act
upon his own responsibility, as ev-
cry man who has reached ma
jority ought to do. He found that
the democrats had put up a ticket,
every candidate on which, was
model of good citizenship, capable
and worthy, and in greater degree
than ever before he forgot party
lines and voted his own honest
sentiments. The result is told in
the election returns. 1t is true
we lost part of our ticket, but this
is no reflection upon the candidates
who failed.
Mr.. Ward, our candidate for
clerk, was pitted against the most
popular man in the republican
ranks. Mr.. Kelley had the ad-
of a wide acquaintance and
of four years service as deputy
clerk. Many democrats voted for
Kelley because they were old
friends, because they were pio-
neers together and it's hard to
sever old ties. It was not because
anyone questioned Mr.. Wards
sterling worth. He did not have
time to make thorough canvass
and enlist the workers in his be-
half but wherever he Went he made
friends. His name gave strength
to the ticket and his day will come.
Mrs. Cramer, too. was running
against a strong opponent that had
,he advantage of possession, and
'possession is nine points of the
aw." But the vote she got shows
ler popularity and is evidence Of
he fact that in an even contest
she would have won.

Pretty little stream.et
Flows so merrily.
On. On, to the ocean,
Happy as can be.
On through vale and mead ow.
Over rock and rlll.
Dancing through the shadow.
Rushing down the hill.
On it madly rushes
Through every glen anil dale.
Over cliff il guShes,
Onward through the vale.
And so we find our life,
From care and sorrow free,
Ignorant Of every strife,
And full of nirth and glee.
On through life we braveIy tread,
Finding joys and care.
over pain and strife we plod,
But ever with prayer.

Whv Suffer From Rheumatism?

Why suffer from rheumatism
when one application Of Chamber
lain's Pain Balm will relieve the
pain? The quick relief which this
liniment affords makes rest and
sleep possible, and that alone is
worth many times it's cost. Many
who have used it hoping only for
a short relief from suffering have
been happily surprised to find that
after awhile the relief becomes
permanent. Mrs. V. H. Leggett
of Yum Yum, Tenn, U. S. A.,

from rheumatism, all over from

BUTLER GUSHER HOLDING ut
UP REMARKABLY WELL
By Actual Gauge it Made Eighty Barrels
an Hour Yesterday.

Gauges of the Mcbride gusher
on the DR.. O. X. Waldren farm,
near Butler, Pa, taken yesterday
afternoon, show the well is hold
ing up at 80 barrels a hour. The
rush for leases continues, and al
most every train brings in oil
men from other places, who have
not paid any attention to Butler
county for decade past and the
visitors, after seeing the well, at
once join in the struggle for
leases.
The only pieces of land close
to the we'll which are now un-
leased, belong to the Ihmsen heirs
of Pittsburg, on the east, the Bar
ricqman heirs on the west, and
Schlegal heirs on the southwest
of the Walren. John G.. Jennings
of Pittsburg, yesterday afternoon
secured a lease of so acres on the
Samuel Schlegel farm, directly
southeast of the gusher. The
amount paid for this lease was not
made public, but it is believed to
have been between $4,000 and
$4,000.
Several days before the Nc
Bride well came in the Thomas
W. Phillips Oil & Gas Company

hickman heirs lease, west OF the
Waldron, and rig was started
yesterday and completed today,
