ings you don't hear nothing but pros
perity and what the great republican
party has done" We will have to
admit that there Is a great deal of
truth in the comment of our esteem
ed democratic friend. The republican
party has not much to boast Of ex-
cept its record and its accomplish
ments during the last fifty years.
What has the democratic party done
during that period, with nothing but
the two hard times administrations
of Grover Cleveland to boast Of?
Search me! Search anybody, for

When one travels over the Colorado
Midland the thought is liable to oc-
cur to him what was this road ever
built for?" The road goes straight
up from Colorado Springs and after
that winds it's way for hundreds of
miles through a wilderness of noun
tain peaks and desert plains, with
out town that can boast of even
the metropolitan proportions of Swink
On inquiry we ascertained that the
Colorado Midland pays the best wa
ges of any railroad in the United
States, and this may be an excuse
for its existence. Brakeman receive
as high as five cents mile. and
we heard of one who resigned his
lob recently not twithstanding the high
wages. He was good man and the
superintendent called him up on the
carpet and asked him what was the
matter. "Well, you know was on
that runaway train down the noun
tain side last week? And how much

fast to suit me. and besides that I've

A lady of the democratic persua-

beauties of republicanism were ex-
pounded by that past master in the
art, Wesley l.. Jones. senator-elect,
according to the primary law. Of the
great state Of Washington. When
the lady retired from the hall she

the vote two years ago was only

MYSTERIOUS OMAHA MURDER.
Charles E. Davis Is Held for the
Killing Of DIR. Rustin.

After a five days hearing Charles
Edward Davis has been held on the
charge Of shooting DR.. Frederick Rus,
tin of Omaha early on the morning of
Sept. 2. Bail was fixed at $4,000 and
vas furnished. Mrs. Rice. who said
she had a suicide compact with Rustin,
was a principal witness against Davis.
DR.. Rustin was a married man in
love with Mra. Rice. He was heavily
in debt and believed the only thing for
him to do was to commit suicide in
such a way a. no to invalidate his
insurance. According TO Mrs. Rice he
convinced her that she ought to kill
him and then commit suicide. She
tried, but her nerve failed. Then. she
says, the doctor met Davis. who also
wanted to die. The doctor. according
to her. gave Dayis poison with which
to commit suicide, in consideration for
which Davis agreed to shoot the doe
tor that night.
Davis admitted everything (even the
taking Of the poison) except the agree
ment to kill and the actual killing.
Davis attorney tried to convince the
court that Mrs. Rice did the killing.
