Died, at Kansas City, Mo. February
1, 1908, Of pneumonia, Miss Mary
Blanchard Henry, aged 81 years.
She was born in Mason county, Ken
lucky, on the 18th of July in 1855.
Her father, Or. Henry, moved to
Missouri about 1859 and settled near
Dover, which was the family home
for many years. DR.. Henry was well
known in Lafayette county as sue
cessful physician, an educated gen
tleman and firm friend. His wife
was also known as talented woman,
well read and fine conversation
alist. They left two children, Mary
and Lake. Miss Mary was especially
we'll known all over Lafayette county
and all who knew her were her
friends. She was always frail, but
energetic; always ready to en-
gage in any good work; always ready
tohelp those who needed help. She
was postmistress at Waverly for some
years. Afterwards she came to Kan
sas City, and for several years was
in the employ Of the government as
microscopic. For several years she
and her brother, Lake Henry, have
kept house in Kansas City, where
they have made many friends. A
gentle loving spirit has gone to it
reward. w. G. M.

WOULD GIVE CONVICT A HOME
Been Pardoned, and Judge Cheat
ham Wants TO Find Him.


Ordinary w. B. Cheatham wants
to locate Wyatt Jackson, a negro
who was pardoned a few days ago
after serving twenty-nine years in
the state penitentiary.
Immediately upon seeing an aC-
count of JacksOn's pardon Judge
Cheatham wrote to Secretary Yam
cey of the state prison board asking
that official if he could put him in
communication with the ex-convict,
and stating that if he could find him
he would pay his railroad fare to
Dawson and give him a home
Mr.. Yancey replied promptly, say
ing that Jackson was at Stevens
pottery in Macon when he was dis
charged and information concerning
him might possibly be obtained
there.
Judge Cheatham' S interest in Jack
son is that the latter's mother was
for many years the family cook of
his father, Dr.. c. A. Cheatham. The
negro was sent to the penitentiary
from Bryan county in 1879 for muir
der He was at first sentenced to
be hanged, but through the efforts
of DR.. Cheatham his sentence was
committed to life Imprisonment and
his neck saved.
If Jackson's whereabouts can be
ascertained he will be given a good
home the remainder of his days by
the kind-hearted Ordinary of Terrell
county, who, like most southern men,
have a sympathetic feeling for and
interest in old family servants and
their children.

How the Candidates for President
Ran in Two Last Elections.

Ran in Two Last Elections.
The number of votes received by
William J. Bryan in Terrell county
last Tuesday was 1902 less than was
given Judge Parker four years ago.
Taft's vote was more than Roose-
welt received in 1904, while Watson's
shows loss of IA.
In the county last Tuesday Bryan
received a total of 52S votes, while
Judge Parker's total in 1904 was
$50. Taft received last week a total
of l42 votes, while Roosevelts total
in the former election was ~ Wat
sons total vote Tuesday was SO

Said THINGS About Some Jurors.

In his charge to the grand jury
in Cuthbert Monday Judge Worrill
stated that he had become acquaint-
ed with the fact that in another
County Of the circuit there were men
on the grand jury at recent session
who would not indict certain parties
because the Indictment would have
implicated some very clever and
prominent men. Then Judge WOrrill
told us what we had often been told
before, but a fact too easily forgot.
ten-that a juror should know
neither friend nor foe should be per-
fectly impartial, should consider only
the law and the evidence in decid-
ing a case And then he added
that a man who cannot embrace
these requirements is not qualified to
serve as a juror, and if such a juror
was brought TO his notice while on
the bench he would take pleasure in
excusing him from jury service.

Bryant Edwards, the 11-year-old
son Of Mr. James Edwards, hap
pened to a bad accident Tuesday
morning at his home near Shellman.
He had started to go hunting when
in some way his gun was fired acct
1entally, the whole load of shot go
ing through his foot. Drs. Clark
and Weathers attended the injured
boy, and while they hoped to avoid
having to amputate his foot they had
strong doubt OF being able to save
it without risking the boys life. The
foot was almost torn TO pieces. Mr.
Edwards also had an accident one
night last week His mule ran away
with him. running against a mail box
post, throwing him out of the buggy
and breaking his collar bone.

The Galloway Fair.

The fair at Galloway last
week was a success financially
and otherwise. 1t was even
better than good many expect-
ed to see. The horse, cattle and
mule departments were excep-
tionally fine and goes to prove
that Custer county ranks with
the best when it comes to show
ing stock. The floral hall ex-
hibits were good but the display
was somewhat marred for lack of
room and many exhibitors of
farm produce were turned away
on this account. This difficulty
the officers of the association say
will not happen again as they
propose to have ample room next
year. The racing was good
each day and would have been
better if it had not been for a
strong south wind which blew
almost continually, The asso-
citation at Galloway can boast of
having one of the best race
tracks in this section of the state
and they are justly proud of it.,
The attractions on the grounds
were splendid and would have
done credit to any fair associ-
alton. The music furnished by
the Galloway band was of high
order and lovers of music who
heard it pronounce the band to
be second to none in this section
of Nebraska. The members of
this band are genial fellows and
were ready to play on call. The
citizens have erected a band
stand for them and of evenings
during the fair the band dis
coursed sweet music until about
ten o'clock. Taking it all
around Galloway has good reason
to feel proud of her fair.

For The Next Few Weeks

For the next few weeks THE
REPUBLICAN will contain con-
siderable political news, perhaps
at the expense of the local news.
But we feel in advance that our
readers will bear with us for four
weeks at least. Every one
should be interested in the result
of the election and we propose to
do our part in trying to increase
the majority in Custer county for
Taft and Sheldon. Also to aid
in the election of every Republi-
can on the county ticket. Next
week the REPUBLICAN will be
printed all at home so read every
page carefally.

but the work which President
Roosevelt has done should be
carried on by men who are now
in the harness and who have
been partners in framing his
policies. The second if the inn
port ant one. If Mr.. Bryan were
safe and sane" but his efforts
to establish such a reputation by
promising to keep within the
limits OF his platform aud to res
pect existing law are hardly a
sufficient guarantee against his
kicking over the traces and do
ing something reckless and in
furious to the country before it's
effects could be fully realized.
The trouble about Mr.. Bryau's
assurance that he will be bound
by Republican legislation as he
finds it is that much Of this leg
islation is discretionary. No
law can direct the President or
Secretary of the Treasury at
just what moment they should
intervene to avoid a panic or to
save the nation from some great
financial disaster. No law can
compel Mr.. Bryan to issue circu-
lation under the recent emer-
geucy currency law if he thinks
it unwise. Indeed, in thous-
and emergencies liable to con-
front the nation, not only 6nau-
cial but political and inter-
national, it is highly important
that a man trained by public
service and with mind temper
ed by knowledge and respect for
law should sit in the executive
chair of Mckinley and Roose-
welt.
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1908-10-01

The real question involved in
the political campaign to-day is
essentially whether the people
desire party in power which
does things TO enhance the credit
of the nation All develop its eco.
nomic resources, or whether it
desires a party which only harps
and cavils at things done. An
opposition party has its uses, and
in many cases it is fortunate
that there should be seesaw in
the possession of power. The
past twelve years, however, have
been years of remark Hble events
in this country. : hey have
opened the door to ar expansion
Of in fluence and power aboard
such as has not come to the
United States for several geuer-
ations. At home also they have
witnessed the creation and carry
ing out of a great body of con-
structiye policies by President
Roosevelt, which Mr.. Taft is
Pledged to continue.
To dismiss the Republican
party at the present time from
the seat of authority would be to
turn the hand backward upon
the clock of national progress.
The election of Mr. Bryan, with
continuance of a great Republi-
can majority in the Senate,
would mean a deadlock between
the White House and Congress,
a persistent playing of politics
at Washington, and a complete
arrest of all the board reforms
and progressive steps which have
been accomplished or inaugu-
rated during the past twelve
years. Even President Cleve-
land, sturdy Democrat as he was,
recognized that fact that the
acquisition of the Philippines
was fact accomplished aud that
even in the Hawaiian Islands,
which were abandoned by his
authority, the duty was now i'm
posed upon the United States of
carrying out with a firm hand
the task which they had under
taken. The resolute policies
which Mr.. Hay and Mr.. Root
inaugurated in the State Depart
ment-the maintenance of the
open door in the Orient and the
extensionSof our relations with
Latin America-would be put in
hazard by a change of admins
tration. Only by curious
chance did the Democratic
National Convention endorse
strong navy, which is an essen
tial factor of Republican policy,
but it is not natural part of the
program of Mr.. Bryan. Even in
the regulation of the railways
and the assurance of equal Justice
to all shippers and all citizens,
the orderly and energetic policy
adopted by the present admins
tration and the Interstate Com
merce Cmm;ssion would be Jared
and confused if put in new
hands, more sealous perhaps
than competent.
A change in the national ad-
ministration might be a matter
of indifference on some grounds
but for two "ifs." The first of
these is that the Republican
party during the past twelve
years had merely marked time
without accomplishing or inau-
gurating any important reforms;

A Hard Fought Legal Battle.

The case from start to finish
was one that taxed the lawyers
on either side to the utmost of
their ability. On the part of
the State Gutterson, Dean and
Gadd prosecuted, and no trio OF
attorneys ever worked harder for
the cause of justice than they
did in this trial. For the de-
tense, Sullivan, Squires and Sim
clair fought every minute to save
their client during the trial.
The arguments by the attorneys
on each side were masterpieces
and were highly spoken of by
those in attendance. The trial
was hard strain on each one Of
them and also on Judge Hostel
Ter, who patiently listened to the
testimony and to the objections
interposed by the opposing at
tornies. The lawyers at the bar
say that he was fair and impair
tial in all his rulings.
