HERE AND THERE.

gressive party is young giant now
creeping from beneath the ruins of
the Republican party, to grow up and
throttle all forms of corruption and
injustice and lead the human race at
once into the Promise Land. This
is certainly a beautiful dream and
the man who seriously believes in it,
is certainly justified in exhibiting
inordinate enthusiasm. There are
others who regard the Republican
party as sturdy old oak and the pro-
gressive party as a fungus growth
upon it. This is certainly a loyal
dream, but these two dreams contain
so little in common as to make their
reconcilement hopeless. The demo-
crat victory is a monstrosity mother
ed by abnormal social conditions. The
approaching wave of true progress
will sweep it into oblivion and leave
the reins of our government in the
hands of-what?
A. R. Shoesmith met with quite an
accident a few days ago. He and some
others were trying to shift sick horse
to a more comfortable position. The
struggles of the brute caused pole
which one of the men held, to swept
around with fearful velocity, striking
Arthur on the head. A nail that
CHANGED to be in the end of the pole
tore open the scalp for about four
inches. Arthur sank down in the cor
ner unconscious. Fearing that the
sight would be too much for Mrs
Shoesmiths nerves, his level-headed
companions did not take him to the
house at once but carried him into the
granary and worked with him until
consciousness returned and the blood
was wiped from his face. He is now
able to return to the cornfeld.
After a hard and pitiful struggle
with the horrors of paralysis, James
Langhery passed away at his home
near North Branch, Saturday morn
ing November 80. The deceased was
a sturdy pioneer of Audubon county
and his going was like the falling off
of giant old oak. He later moved
into Guthrie county, where he lived
for number Of years before his
death. Interment took place at the
Bowman Chapel cemetery Monday,
December 2.
Miss Leta Madison, who went to
South Dakota with her mother and
step-father two years ago, has a
number of acquaintance over in
Greeley, who will be pleased to learn
that she is happy over the approach
of her wedding day. We did not
learn anything in regard to the char
acter of the groom, but sincerely
hope that he will fully realize Miss
Leta's dream of love.

If should meet a lady on the street
and treat her as have the privilege
to treat her in ball room, should
be arrested as low down ruffan, I'M
fit to let run at large, not withstand
ing the fact that l might move as a
star of the first magnitude at the
dance. One of the perplexing prob
lens confronting society today is,
how to make the dance decent.
