Edwards has been renting the
Laduke farm about six miles
southeast of this city. Tom
Burtwell was pasturing the cat
tie for Vistrup and they got out
into Edwards field. Edwards
took them to be strays and drove
them to Ansley and sold them to
B. j. Tierney. Burtwell missed
the cattle and trailed them to
Ansley and found them in Tier
ney's hands. Edwards learned
that the cattle belonged to some-
one in the neighborhood and
that they had been identified
and he took to hiding. He went
to Kearney and Sumner and
when found was working on
the John Wabo farm about thirty
miles southeast of the city.
He came up IN county court
today for preliminary hearing
aud was bound over to the dis
trict court. He is thirty-eight
years old and unmarried.

with great success. Last year
Manager Teagarden on behalf of
the Redpath people promised
that the liberal support given
the chautauqua here would mean
that they would give the people
of Broken Bow this year the best
chautauqua that it had ever had
and the character of the talent
and the manner Of conducting
the chautauqua this year show
that Mr.. Teagarden meant bust
ness when he made the state
ment. The crowds for each en-
tertainmeut have been large and
the people leave the tent express

The People OF the Country Should Rally

Republicans. :%


Republicans. ~
In discussing the political sit
uation i'd Congress with the edi-
tor of the REPUBLICAN Saturday
evening Senator LaFollette made
the following statement for pub
lication in reply to question as
to what he thought of the work
of the Democrats in the Ma
tional capitol.
~ do not want to be under
stood as criticising the action of
the Republicans in Congress and
upholding the Democrats. l be-
lieve that the Republican party
needs reforming, but | believe
that reform should come from
within the party, and / believe
that every man who wants to see
change in the party should put
on his fighting clothes and get
into the party and work for re-
form.
~ believe that the future Of
the country lies in the hands of
the Republican party. The
constructive statesmen of the
country are Republicans and |
believe that the people Of the
country should rally to the sup
port of these men and back them
up in their effort to make this
government purely reprcsenta-
tive one as it was in the early
years Of its history.
"One needs only 10 remember
that twenty-three OF the Demo-
cratic representatives in the
House voted with Cannon or the
revision of the rules and that
Aldrict was always able to get
needed assistance to carry his
tariff schedules from among the
Democrats to know that it would
be nnsafe to place the govern
ment in Democratic hands"

LA TOILETTE ON
GOVERNMENT
Changes Brought About by Growth OF
Country.
b5 MEN CONTROL INDUSTRIES
People Must Demand That Candidates
Pledge Themselves not TO Support
Aldrich and Cannon.


Senator II. M. LaFollette, of
Wisconsin, spoke in this city last
Saturday under the auspices of
the Redpath Chautauqua system.
Senator LaFollette spoke for two
hours on the practical workings
of this government. The Sena-
tor reminded the people that for
probably the first seventy years
after the formation of the gov
ernment it was purely a presen-
tative governmert-one where
the peoples representatives rep
resented the people.
He said that in those days the
manufacturing and transporta-
tion interests were carried on by
individuals and under competi-
tion; that there had been a grad
ual consolidation until now
siXty-five men control the indus.
trial life Of the country and that
as this plsn Of consolidation pro-
gressed competition was elimin-
ated gradually and the few men
began to take an interest in the
government in order to use it to
secure special favors for them
selves.
AS result Of this process of
combination and the increasing
activity Of the interests in their
effort to control legislation the
corporations now have a firm
grip on the organization in the
Senate and the House of Repre-
sentatives.
Senator LaFollette declared
that an investigation would show
that the revision of the tariff
was not a revision downward and
ard that Aldrich and his mer
had not taken into consideration
the cost of production at home
and abroad in making up tht
tariff schedules.
Senator LaI'ollette believed
that the only solution of the
problem lay in the Republican
OF the country demanding tha
their candidates pledge them
selves 20 not support Aldrich ant
Cannon and to represent tn
people.

The picnic gotten up by the
college club Of this city, took
place last Friday afternoon, but
not IN the country as was origin
ally intended for, "thc best laid

.ofthe day and night previous
made a change of place not only
dcsirabl but necessary. The
Misses Drake kindly offered the
use Of their lawn. The offer
was gladly accepted, and there
the college men and women held
their picnic.
"A long table, laden with the
substantials and danties brough ht

gathered the picnic party. The
supper proved to be quite a Bo-

CHIEF NEITHER
FISH NOR FOWL
POpulSt's Prediction of 1900 Has Come
True.
Follows "0fficial Patronage"

'@hS'Soh uiNNh wac 'ppuhoN
the COS For Revenue Only" and
is Still Catching Them Going
And Coming
The following statement con-
cerning the attitude of the Chief
in politics is taken from a paper
called the Populist and the issue
from which it is taken was pub
lished on October 20, 1000. 1t is
interesting as it gives little
Custer county political history.
1t should be noted that it predict
ed that the Chief would change
its politics as soon as the officials
controlling patronage ceased to
be Populists. This prediction
everyone now knows came true.
When the Republicans began to
show strength and elect some of
their candidates as county Off
cials the Chief began to become
Indifferent to the interests of the
Populists aud later came out as
a uon-partisan paper. So it was
just as the Populist said in 1000,
the Chief was Populist "for rev.
enue only"
Here's what the Populist said:
"The Chief and Beacon are
twin links Of bologna made from
the same fusion dog snarling
cur of low degree. The Chiefs
advent into the peoples party
was at or about the time the
Beacon was threatening 10 bolt a
part of the ticket nominated in
the fall of '95 and so determined
we're they, that the Chief signi-
fed Willingness to change the
policy of that paper from a nom
partisan sheet into 'populist'
CD paper upon the promise of
official patronage. This deal
was consumated by Chairman
Holland of the county central
committee for the support Of
that paper for the ticket, and
especially for that part of it
which the Beacon was boiling.
The Chief is heterogeneous; it is
neither fish nor fowl. Emerson
Purcell is a pretended populist-
for revenue only'-and the other
members of the firm are republi-
cans and the policy of the Chief
is TO catch them going and com
ing. Not one of the three of
them can be held directly re-
sponsible for its editorial ut
terances; and republicans high
in the counsels Of their party
speak advisedly and have been
heard TO remark that the Chief
would not hurt them much this
fall.
"Elect republican sheriff and
the Chief, with its hugh belly
filled with official patronage
and its little dwarf fusion soul
with its pretended populism will
vanish as the morning dew be-
fore the monday sun.
The sores the Chief and Beacon
carry around with them are oI
their own making and it is but
Justice to the reform movement
that the truth be made known.

These figures give Ford a
lead of 73 over Humphrey; Lewis
81 over Waters; Poor 40 over
Joyner; Pennington So over Cole;
VanAntwerp $40 over Ferguson;
and Kennedy 479 over Rogers
1t is pected that the later re-
turns will give Ford, Lewis,

enough to enable them TO at
least hold their present lead and
probably increase it.

COUNTY FAIR TO
BE A HUMMER
Greatest Attraction Ever Offered TO
The Patrons.
DIVING AND BUCKING HORSES
AerOplane flight-The GuidleSs Wonder
Novelty Races With Lady Riders
Changing Horses and Numer.
OILS Other Strong Features

The prospects are that the
coming county fair from Septem-
ber 14th to the 18th, inclusive.
will be the greatest in the his
tory of the association. The
management has already re-
ceived notice of many new ex-
hibitors of live stock. The pros
poets are now that there will be
an exhibition of at least hum
dred head Of the best stations,
mares and colts in this part of
Nebraska. There will be new
exhibitions of fancy bred cattle
and hogs. A large number OF
entries have already been receiv-
ed for harness and running
horses sc that splendid races are
assured.
Secretary Orr is especially anx-
ious to secure the best exhibition
of farm products ever offered.
The premiums for this class of
exhibition is better than hereto
fore and undoubtedly will secure
a splendid exhibition in this line.
Premium lists can be secured
upon application to Mr.. Orr, the
secretary.
The new hall built last year
furnishes the means by which
these exhibits can be shown to a
splendid advantage. 1t is to be
hoped that with the wonderful
crops in parts of the county the
farmers will begin selecting or
marking for selection products
which they will bring or send
for this exhibition. The pre-
miums offered will repay them
we'll for their time.
Among other premiums for
farm products is the following:
Best collected exhibit from any
one farm, 1st premium, $4,000;
I'd premium, $14.O0 and Sd pre-
MUM, $500.
Another special premium for
farm products is $500 each and
a season ticket for each collec-
tion of not less than fifteen va
rieties which must include corn,
wheat, oats, potatoes, millet and
alfalfa. While there is no COM
petition in this class, it insures
every one who presents such a
selection a reward for their
trouble. Each variety must be
properly selected and arranged
ready lOr CXhlJltlOn.
In addition 70 the regular pre-
miums, the association with the
assistance Of DR.. Brenizer, who
contributes S 500 therefor, offers
a premium of $40, 90 on colts up
to two years old aud down to
sucking colts, the exhibition to
be four in number and the get of
one sire. The colts, however,
may belong to different owners,
and where such is the case they
can divide the premiums among
themselves
Secretary Orr should receive
one thousand postal cards withir
the next week requesting a pre-
MUM list which is prepared in q
neat pamphlet or book form, ant
will be mailed on request.
