To Hurt Your Town

Fight on the streets.
Oppose improvements.
Mistrust public men.
Run the town down to Strang-
ers.
Go to some other town to trade.
Refuse to advertise in your
paper.
Do not invest a cent; lay out
your money somewhere else.
Be particular to discredit the
motives of public spirited men.
Lengthen your face every time
a stranger speaks of locating in
your town.
If a man wants your property
ask him two prices for it.
If he wants anybody's else, in.
terfere and discourage him.
Run down your newspapers.
Run down your officers.
Run down everything and eve-
rybody but Number One.
Talk in the barber Shope and
loafing places of how bad times
are, of how everything and every.
body is going to the '%'demnitior
bow-wows."-EX.

A number of democrats in and
around Falls City have public
ly expressed their determina-
ton to vote against Bryan. Not
one republican, so far as we
have aeard, contemplates vot-
ing for him. Contrast this con-
dition with 1896 when every
precinct had its free silver re-
publicans, and the county had
so many that they held a large
county convention.

VIM. HUSEkETTER
For Commissioned ef oubIic Lands
And Buildings

At a meeting OF the republi-
can central committee held in
David City, on May Both, 1905,
the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted by said
committee:
BE IT REsoLvED:-By the
Butler county Republican Cen
tral Committee, that we most
heartily endorse the candidacy
of Vim. Husenetter of Linwood,
for the office of Public Land
Commissioner.
In support of his candidacy
we wish TO mention some of the
services he has rendered his
party. He has been present at
every county convention for
thirty years. He has served
the senatorial district on the
state committee for ten terms.
He has represented this county
as a delegate in every state
convention for % years. He
has served three terms on the
state executive committee. He
has served two terms as chair
man of our republican county
central committee, and is now
serving the third time. He has
never accepted a political Office
carrying a salary with it. In
these various capacities he has
always stood courageously for
the best interests of the party.
He has been thoroughly in SYM
pathy with the recent policies
of Roosevelt, and two years ago
was 4 strong advocate for the
election of Gov. Sheldon. Mr.
Husenetter has a common inter
est with the farmers and ship
perS of the state in the enact
ment of the Roosevelt policies,
as he owns and operates a
large ranch at Linwood and is a
vigorous advocate of these in
terestS.
In this endorsement of VIM.
Husenetter for Land Commits
sioner we wish to call the at
tention of the voters of the
state of Nebraska to the fact
that Butler county, since its or
ganization more than forty
years ago, has never had a state
officer nor a deputy.
Mr.. Husenetter has been a
resident here for forty years
and we do not hesitate to pre-
sent his name, as we consider
that it is only justice to his long
service for the party.
Attest: l.. B. FULLER, Sec.

No doubt our friends who have
raised so much of a howl about
the action of the state board OF
equalization will be sorely dis
appointed to learn that the
amount of state taxes to be
paid by this county for 1908,
will be less than what was paid
in 1907. Such is life.

MARKET LETTER
From Our Regular Kansas City
Stock Yards Correspondent


Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug.
II, 1908. Although the cattle
supply was liberal last week, 3 1000
head, including 1900 calves; the
market improved 10 to rs cents on
everything except western grass
steers, which were plentiful, and
sold weak to rs cents lower, While
rains and cooler weather last week
helped the market, the main ele-
ment of strength was the moderate
supply at competing markets, and
the placing of more orders here
for cattle for shipments than usual.
The run today is $1,000 head, sew
eral thousand less than on last
Monday. Market strong to 10
higher on killing stuff and stock
ers and feeders, calves a quarter
higher. Cows have been selling
very good, especially Westerns.
most of which bring $500 to$3.4O.
Top fed steers recently reached
ST. 80, and other lots went at Sc. 90
to 81. 80, fair to good 1925 to Sc. 25,
grass steers Sd. 90 to $500, bulls
$40 to S3.75, top veals today
So. Is, stockers $3.50 to 81. 35,
feeders $3.50 to $3.50. Shipments
of stockers and feeders to the coun-
try last week were heaviest of the
season, STA cars, nearly twice as
many as in any recent week. More
of this class of cattle will appear
each week from now into Septem-
Der or the first of October, and
while favorable crop weather will
make a good demand for them, the
larger number available, and the
almost infinite variety, will make
it an easy matter to fill orders for
almost any class promptly.
The hog market declined heavily
last week, with a sharp recovery
last of the week, followed by the
big rise of 10 to 20 cents to-day, on
a supply of 5000 head. Large
numbers of light weight, inferior
hogs appeared last week, and same
were cut sharply in price, but there
is less of this kind included today
than for a week or ten days. Gen
eral opinion favors smaller runs
and higher prices for the near fut.
ure. Top today Is $685., bulk OF
sales S6.55 to S6.S5, pigs $3.50 te
$3.50. Shippers always have or.
ders in hand here, which is a pow.
erful influence in keeping the
packers in line, and local prices
generally above other river points.

is proceeding along sound and whole

whole is essentially prosperous.
I'VE are now decidedly optimistic
in this house, said J.t,Ogden Armour
when asked for an expression OF his
views as to the business situation and
outlook. Things are now mending.
The corner was turned some time ago.
Everything that happens from now
on is likely to help the recovery and
tend to bring better times. Up to now
1t may be true, that a good deal OF
the ground gained is sentimental rath-
er than actual: but this sentimental
gain always accompanies or imme-
Giately precedes actual recovery. We
note on all sides gradual, not q
rapid recovery. Probably II is better
that the restoration of normal condi-
lions does not come too fast; II is
the more likely to continue without
