in office, has drawn as salary and

in office, has drawn as salary and
fees approximately fourteen thous-
and dollars. Is that enough for
one man out of four thousand
voters? A good many Democrats
and Republicans think "yes." II
my opponent, Mr.. Barton, is Civ
en- another term Of four years, it
will swell the figures to fourteen
years in office and approximate
ly twenty thousand dollars from
the public crib. An endorsement
of these figures and the re-elec-
tion of Mr.. Barton says to the
young Republicans and Democrats
that they must patiently wait un-
til the officeholders die or get
enough before they dare aspire
to office. Thus, the question comes
equarely up to the people: Is ten
years of public office, netting the
office-holder approximately four
teen thousand dollars in salary
and fees enough for one man, or
shall one man be permitted to
ret ain public office until he dies
or accumulates a small fortune, to
the exclusion Of the many quail
fled and competent young Repub-
licans and Democrats? The voters
of Montgomery will, by their vote
in November, register precedent
that in after years will rise up
to mock or bless them, as that
verdict may be. For years I have
advocated that four years of coun-
ty office is sufficient for any one
man, be he a Republican or DEM
ocrat, and assure the people
that, if fortunate enough to be
elected, I will not ask for a sec
ond term, but will step down and
out in favor of some other citi-
zen just as worthy and as well
qualified.
If elected, will perform the du-
ties of the office without favor

and to the best OF my ability, and

cry county that it will be equally
as well taken care of in the future
as it has been in the past.

Don't t Break Down.

Severe strains on vital organs,
like strains on machinery, cause
break downs. You cant over-tax
stomache, liver, kidneys, bowles,
or nerves without serious danger
to yourself. If you are weak OF
rundown, or under strain of any
kind, take Electric Bitters the
matchless tonic medicine. Mrs. j.
E. Van de Sande of Kirkland, Ill.
writes: "That / did not break down
while enduring a severe strain,
for three months is entirely due to
Electric Bitters." Use them and
enjoy health and strength. Salts
faction is guaranteed. Soc at

The Duck VS.. the Hen.

A duck which stuck faithfully
to business durin the summer and
laid several dozen of large, fawn-
colored eggs complained that she
wasn't appreciated. ''See that
hen over there" said the duck,
"she hasn't laid as many eggs as
1 have, nor as big. but she has
books written about her and vers-
es composed in her honor, while
nobody is saying word about
me-" "The troub BILE with you is,"
said the wise old rooster that was
standing near, "that you can't tell
the public what you have done.
You lay an egg and waddle off
without saying a word, but that
sister of mine never lays one with
out letting everyone in the neigh
borhood know about it. If you
want to cut any ice in this COM
munity you must learn to adver-
tise. Exchange.

IS TEN YEARS ENOUGH?

To the voters of Montgomery Co.
My Democratic friends in Prairie
township recommended me as a
candidate for circuit clerk, and at
the primary I was duly nominated
by the Democratic party. This
honor was entirely unsought by
me, and was really over my pro-
test. However, a sense of courte-
sy to my neighbors and friends
has prompted me to consent to
make the race, under certain con-
ditions. One of these conditions is
that I be not expected to buy my
way in office.
The "Corrupt Practice Act" very
clearly provides that county can
didate shall not spend more than
one hundred dollars in campaign
expenses. This is good law; and,
if respected, not only prevents
the practice of corruption in pol
itics, but also makes it possible
for an honest poor man to be
elected to office.
I am neither a pauper nor a
s'tight-wad," yet have no money
to prostitute or corrupt my fell
bowman with by the use OF it, to
in any way influence his vote for
me for this or any other office !;
and, if I am expected to violate
the law by buying my election
and afterwards swearing to false
expense account, ] prefer defeat
and my own self respect to any
such questionable success.
AS to my claims, I would say
that l am a native born citizen
OF the county and practically all
of my life has been spent with
in its borders. For the past %
years, through the columns OF my
paper-Middletown Chips Ihave
ever striyen to be loyal to my
town, my township, my county
and my state, by standing up for
each and all of them on every oc-
casion, fully believing that she
serves his party best who best
serves his country"
My opponent is most estima-
BILE man, personal friend OF
mine, and has made an efficient
circuit clerk but, without egotism,
I think I have a right to say that
am as well qualified for the po-
sition ais he was when he first as
sumed the duties of the office
eight years ago. Furthermore, 1
believe that there are q number OF
young Democrats and Republicans
in the county just as well >quali-
fled and just as worthy as either
OF us, and who should be given a
chance at this honor. II it is "pie,"
II ought to be passed around II
it is a burden, let some other
Brother bear his part OF it.
My opponent has held this OF
flee for The past eight years, and
was also county treasurer for two
years; and, during his ten years

ABERDEEN, 8. D., Dot. 11.-(speciaI.)-
Represented at the Interstate Commerce
commission grain rate hearing at Aber-
deem are the South Dakota Railway COM
mission, the South Dakota Millers' asso-
citation, the state of North Dakota, the
Superior CWis.) Board of Trade and Com
mercial club, the Minneapolis Traffic asso-
citation and the Duluth Commercial club.
All the. railroads entering. the state are
also represented by their attorneys and
their general freight agents. A number
of commercial CLUBS OF South Dakota sent
representatives who desired to have the
present freight rates investigated, as we'll
as the proposed increase III grain rates,
effective November 1, but c. r. Hillyer.
who is conducting the hearing on behalf Of
the Interstate Commerce commission, de-
cided this was not the proper time or place
to go into the matter an dthe request was
refused.
nj taking up the investigation proper
the defendant railroads declared the roads
entering South Dakota were not receiving
the proportionate share of interest and
dividends on their investments in this state
by S25O,OOO a year and contended the pro-
posed raise in grain rates was necessary
to bring the income from South Dakota
business up to that received from other
states on the same amount of capital in
vested. They contend the increase In
wages and the increased cost of material
used in railroad construction make It nee
essary to raise rates to keep the income
above the expense of conducting and main
tanning the railroads.

South Omaha stockyards experienced a
phenomenal run Of sheep yesterday, beat
ing the record OF September rs and estab-
fishing a worlds record IL the hours Of
sale Of the Chicago market are to be
taken as a standard. When the market
closed at p. m. 6S,7l4 sheep had been
placed in the yards against 6S,215 on Sep
TENDER 26.
Two days subsequent to the receipt Of
this enormous consignment September Is,
the Chicago market had a run Of 6f,16O
making a new worlds record. But the
Chicago market does not close until p. m.
and II the 5000 outside yesterday after
noon, and which could have been yarded
by that hour, were added yesterdays total
would be brought up to 69,3l4. an advance
upon the Chicago receipts of over 5000.
1t was a day Of big things all over at
the stock yards. In addition to the thous-
ands Of sheep handled, 1905 head Of cattle
were disposed Of, taking altogether 500
cars to carry the live stock that sought
South Omaha as its destination. As to
prices best grades Of sheep were steady
but others we're slow to sell and the fig
ures were lower. Cattle to kill were also
steady, with feeders a tribe Iower About
seventy-five per cent of the sheep were

Big Land Sale
to Help Indians
Sixty Eight Tracts Disposed Of by
Bids at Winnebago Agency
Good Prices Offered.

wINNEBAGO, Neb.. oct. I.-(special)-
A big land sale was held yesterday at the
Winnebago agency in which siXty-eight
pieces Of inherited and non-competent
Indian land were sold. Sealed bids have
been received for some time on this land
and there was keen competition.
1t was mostly all good agricultural land
lying close to market and was bought
mostly by those who plan to develop 1t
into homes. The climate is particularly
favorable for the production of corn and
small grain and the CROPS now on the
ground present an encouraging appearance.
This land is being sold to secure funds
with which to improve the allotments Of
the various Indian owners by building
good houses and barns and fences, and
also for the purchase Of teams and tools
to be used in farming.
The price was from $50 per acre down
and was highly satisfactory, as much Of
the land was not improved, while quite a
little Of 1t was raw prairie or even brush
land Investors from Omaha, Sioux City,
Fender and many other nearby towns were
among the bidders.
The proceeds Of the sale, which will
mount into the hundreds of thousands Of
dollars, will fit up many an Indian farmer
with everything needful for the successful
farming Of his allotment and surround
him with many Of the comforts as well
as the necessities Of life. In addition to
this It will dot the reservation over with
progressive white farmers who, by their
example, will be a source Of benefit to the
Indians. By swapping work with and
helping the white farmers at odd times 1t
is hoped that the Indians may catch the
spirit of thrift and become money making
farmers, as indeed many of them already
have done.
Superintendent A. H. Kneale seemed
highly pleased with the sale and consid-
cred 1t a success in every particular.
