made away with while his
superiors in homicide recllned on
their velvet lounges undisturbed.
OF course-reasoned these po-
tentates the American people
cad stand that, they can stand
almost anything. Therefore
the system Of squeezing the
cattle raisers at the sourse Of
supply and the consumers whom
they made dependent on them
selves as much as possible, was
continued with redoubled con-
fidence. Then arose against
them the 10 cent magazines.
What they told had been told
before, but it makes a difference
whether the public has to pay a
dollar and a half for the infor-
nation in a book-which is
rather dry reading-or whether
it can obtain the same infor-
nation at 10 cents per payment,
with lot of pictures and stories
thrown in. Still-the beef trust
argued-the public that stood
embalmed beef for its soldiers
will stand any old thing.
Right there they made mis-
take. They overlooked the fact,
which should have been obvious,
that the American people have
sensitive stomach and a tender
heart. Rebates and all the other
machinery they can stand if only
the result is a thick, juicy steak
or steaming hot soup that tastes
good. And when one is well
filled who cares if the meal
comes high? But it is necessary
to keep rats and offal out of the
soup, and the steak must not be
picked out of filth, and the lard
which enters into that illnstrious
condiment-the great American
pie-must be innocent of human
tissue.
The beef trust combine has
raised against itself the Ameri-
can housewife, a far more
dangerous enemy than the Ameri-
can voter. The American s.om-
ach will not down with the refuse
of Packingtown. Their own
filthy methods have brought
them into the mire which, it is
estimated, will lose them $50
million dollars. The packers
have, by their own greed, pro-
cured the rope and put their
heads in the moose. Now it's up
to the American people to do
their duty-since they have
heard the evidence-and straugle
the trust to death.

The Beef Trust.

Standard Oil is breathing a
little easier. The beef trust now
holds the centre of the stage.
If. as Mr.. Sinclair asserts, these
two organizations are mortal
enemies, being engaged in bitter
rivalry for the ownership of
America, Standard Oil finds a
pleasure added to it's relief. II
may be found. however, that the
government and the people are
able to think of two things at
one and the same time.
For years the beef trust has
been coming into an increasingly
conspicuous position. In the
war with Spain, Packingtown
proved far deadlier place to our
soldiers than San Juan Hill, and
the implements of death encased
in tin were more destructive than
Mauser bullets. The heads of
the canned beef industry became
notorious for treason and murder
on a large scale, and it must
have puzzled any plain murderer
of an individual fellow-man,
when on his way to pay the
death penalty, why he was to be

Senator George L. Sheldon, of
Nehawka, Cass county, is a
a prominent candidate in the
eastern part of the state for
governor. lie has been endorsed
by his home county with strong
anti-corporation platform. In
his letter of acceptance of the
endorsement of his candidacy he
takes bold stand against cor
poration control of the politics
and legislation of the state.
The indications now are that his
followers and those of Attorney
General Brown for the United
States Senate will combine forces.

effort, along honorable lines, to
secure the Endorsement of his
candidacy in the republican state
convention. The candidacy of
Mr.. Currie will be built upon the
merits and qualifications Of the
man. Those who know Mr..
Currie know that his candidacy
must be fought out in a manly
way or not at all, and it is hoped
that the same courtesy will be
accorded his candidacy as will be
conceded to others.
"Mr. Currie is an ideal candi-
date. He is man in the prime of
life whose honesty has never been
questioned, and whose public
and private life is an open book.
He served two terms in the state
senate, and was prominent
candidate for United State SEN
ator during the long senatorial
struggle in 1901. He is a man
who is close to the people aud
who knows their needs. He
stands aloof from corporation
Influences and is man of cour-
age and convictions. If the re-
publicans of Nebraska are looking
Tor a man among the common
people, who has always believed
in IA square deal-a man who is
highly educated and a brilliant
speaker-a man who will instill
life and enthusiasm into the
party, and represent Nebraska
in the national capitol with
honor 10 the state and credit to
the nation-Custer county nomi-
ates Hon. f. M. Currie."

The Epidemic Passed.

The spinal meningitis disease,
with which the community was
threatened and that caused the
health authorities to take pre-
cautionary measures to prevent
its spreading. fortunately did
not spread beyond the families
where it started in the vicinity
of Gates, twenty miles north of
Broken Bow.
w. B. Athey, who was with
his son when he died at Gates is
the only one that contracted the
disease from those first two
afflicted. There being no pros
poets of any more cases the
quaranteen against the churches
and summer school will be de-
clared off the first of the week.

A QUARTER OF A CENTURY.

d With this issue the REPUBLG-
CAN starts on it's twenty-fifth
year of existence.
The REPUBLICAN cast its lot
with the town of Broken Bow
when the original town was first
plated, June 1882, with the view
of laboring for the common in
terest of the community and
county as a whole. How we'll it
has done 1t we leave the public
to Judge.
Politically the paper espoused
the principles OF republicanism
and from that date it has re-
manned true TO its declaration of
principles, "the greatest good to
the greatest numbers, anti
monopoly and in favor of woman
suffrage, morality, temperance
and christianity"
The present editor has been as
ISOLATED with the REPUBLICAN
since March 1887, having pur-
chased the plant of its founder,
X. II. Miller. 1t has been our
pleasure to see the town of Bro
ken Bow grow from a few sod
houses with dozen inhabitants
to a city of the second class with
population of nearly 1000.
From business point of view it
is second to no town in the state
for its size. The county has
kept pace with it. Where only
bleak prairie then met the eye,
fine groves, residences, barns and
fruit bearing orchards and farms
of waving grain is the pride of
the country. Men of poverty
then are now men of wealth.
The REPUBLICAN has done
what it could in helping to bring
this happy state of affairs about
and we rejoice in it. The part
we have taken has not been at
all times sunshine and roses, nor
has it been dark and dreary all
the way. Much of the time we
have been employed II to IS
hours day and we have passed
through periods where the ex-
istence of the paper as we'll as
the subsistence of our self and
family was grave problem.
Yet we never thought of giving
up nor were we tempted by a
f1attering offer to change our
policy. For our opposition to
licensed saloons we lost few
customers and for our fearless
maintenance of the principles of
the republican party we lost
practically all of our customers
except few hundred loyal sub
scribers who were faithful in
adversely as we'll as in our pros
perity.
To this class we can not find
words to express our gratitude as
well as to our creditors who could
have rendered us pennyless had
they enforced their claims.
Thanks to Divine Providence
those dark days have passed and
we can again claim few thous-
and dollars to our credit which
has been saved from the earnings
of the REPUBLICAN in the past
few years.
In conclusion we will say to the
public that the subscription price
of the REPUBLICAN is only $1.0C
year and all who are not sub.
scribers are solicited to call,
write or phone us for a sample
copy and begin your subscription
at once.

Hon. F. M. Currie's Candidacy for United
State Senator.


The Chronicle-Citizen, as we'll
as other state papers, announced
last week that Ex-senator f. Nj.
Currie OF this city will be can
didate for United States Senator
before the Republican State con-
vention. Mr.. Currie is especi-
ally well qualified for the posi-
ton and should he be chosen the
state would never have cause to
be ashamed of his record. He is
republican of the Roosevelt
stripe and IN nowise is he COM
promised by corporation tie-ups.
When he was state senator, six
years ago, he was one of the few
members of the Legislature who
declined to accept railroad trans
portation, and paid his fare. He
is strictly a man of the people.
The Chronicle-Citizen, pub
lished at Ansley, says:
Hon. F. M. Currie, of Custer
county, will be a candidate be.
fore the Republican State con.
vention for the Endorsement for
United States Senator.
''ln previous issues of The
Chronicle the name of Mr.. Currie
has been frequently mentioned
as an ideal candidate for this
high office. His name was first
suggested by this paper without
his consent, because it conscien-
tiously believes that no better
man can be found in the state to
fill this responsible position, and
it is with high degree of pride
that we can now make the an
nouncement of his candidacy.
1.-The friends and personal
admirers of Mr.. Currie (and they
are legion) will make strong

James King, ST., and his daughters,
Miss Jennie King and Mrs. John Smart,
expect to leave on train No. 3 tomor-
row for San Diego, Cal, where the
first two will reside and the latter visit

in getting away owing to complaint
having been filed against him in the
United States court at Cheyenne for il
legal fencing. This matter has now
been adjusted, Mr.. King being required
to pay the costs and also remove the
fence from along the west side of sec
