Wilson Qualities.
Will Have Support OF Every Independ-
emit Paper.

Will Have Support Of Every Independ-
emit Paper.
[ From tie Raleigh Netos and Observer ]
Every argument is in favor Of Wilson
because he can carry votes that will be
needed to win this year. He has DEM
onstrated he will be supported by prac-
tically every independent paper in Amer
lea. The Democrats have never elected
candidate who lacked the support of
the independent press Wilson is the
only one of the candidates in the field
who would certainly have this support.
1t is big factor in American politics.
Indeed, in close elections it is the de-
termining factor and no candidate can
win without
Wilson can carry the full Democratic
vote as well as any other candidate.
He is the only candidate, except Har
mon. who has demonstrated ability to
carry Independent and Republican votes,
New Jersey was Republican by 70, 600
before Wilson was nominated. He over
turned that adverse majority and was
elected by more than 10000. He car
do it again in New York and dozer
other important States.
Wilson is Virginian of the Madison
type. His state papers would rank
with those of jefferson, Madison ant
Monroe, and be along the same line
That's enough reason to name him. /
is the duty of each party to name
great man to rule the White House.

Little Brown Hands,
Yours truly,

They drive up the cows from the pas
ture,
Up through the long, shady lane,
Where the quail whistles loud in the
wheat field
That is yellow with ripening grain.
They find in the thick, waving grasses
Where the scarlet-Iipped strawberry
grows;
They gather the earliest snowdrops
And the first crimson buds Of the rose.
They toss rthe hay in the meadow,
They gather the elder-bloom white;
They find where the dusky grapes pur-
Pile
In the soft-tinted October light.
They know where the apples hang ripest,
Ard are sweeter than Italy's wines;
They know where the fruit hangs
thickest
On the long, thorny blackberry vines.
they gather the delicate seaweeds,
And build tiny castles of sand;
They pick up thu beautiful seashells
Fairy banks that have drlfted to land.
They wave from the tall, rocking tree
tops,
Where the orioles hammock-nest
swings,
And at night time are folded in slum'
Der
:; By song that a fond mother sings
Those who toll bravely are strongest
The humble and poor become great
And from those brown-handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers of state.
The pen of the author and statesman
4 The noble and wise of our land
The sword and the chisel and palette
Shall be held in the little brown
! hand

Mr. Bryan does not deserve however

credit he Is receiving for what was
done at Baltimore. His part was real
ly modest one; he simply turned the
faucet and allowed great moral force
to flow in upon the convention. He did
not CREATE the force. but he knew
where the faucet was and estimated
more accurately than some others did
the height of the stand-pipe from which
the force came If he had had the
foresight to hang over the platform,

Home. = illumined by electricity. he need
not have spoken at all He could. by
turning on the light, have made really
half the delegates hide under the chairs
The fear of the people is the beginning
Of wisdom, if one may be permitted to
paraphrase proverb. and no conyen-
ton ever better illustrated this truth
No one who looked upon the tumult
caused by the anti Morgan, Ryan, Bel

scene. Such seething mass of terror

hibition except when, during battle.

Who did their chores upon laggard feet

River county Jail at Hot Springs, became
tired of life in that city Monday night,
and after opening the cage in which
they were confined, sawed their way to
freedom and hit the grit for the north

Pringle informed the authorities that
they were asking for hand outs at that
place and Sheriff Jensen, with Charles

MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH
Thomas Bellemare Killed by Run
away Team Near Pringls
Wednesday.

A very sad and fatal accident occurred
last Wednesday in which Thomas Belle
mare lost his life. The accident occur
red about $50 in the evening near the
ranch of VIM. Young, three miles north
of Pringle. About ten O'Clock on the
morning of that day Mr.. Bellemare,
John w. Morris and Charles Nickel
wright left Custer with threshing ma
chine outfit consisting of traction
engine, separator and q wagon which
had on it big water tank. bound for
Mr.. Bellemars's ranch near Bakerville.
About three miles north of Pringls they
stopped to supply the engine with water
from the tank. The team that pulled
the water wagon became frightened
from the noise of steam that escaped
from the engine and started to run
away. Mr.. Bellemare was standing by
the side of one of the horses at the time
they started to run, and the supposition
Is that he was knocked down by the
tank. The wagon passed over his chest,
inficting injuries from which he died in
about half an hour after the accident
happened. The body was brought to
Custer some time during the night. 1t
was not deemed necessary to hold an
inquest, as the facts were so plain.
Funeral services will be held from the
Catholic church at 10 o'clock this (Sat-
urday) morning.
Thomas Bellemare was born in Louise
vile, Province Of Quebec, Canada, Au-
gust 5, 1850, and at the time of his death
was aged 81 years and four months. He
was married to Sarah La Fleisch in 1881
at louisville, Canada. To this union
were born two sons. Joseph Bellemare
of Custer, and Charles Bellemare, who
resides at Burlington, Vermont. The
family moved from Canada to Custer in
1882, where his wife died on June l..
1901. On April 81, 1908. in this city,
Mr. Bellemare married Margaret 3resch-
nen, who survives him. To them was
born daughter, Mary Doloris. De-
ceased leaves to mourn, besides his wife
and children, one brother, Ernest Belle
mare of this city, and one sister, who
resides in Montreal, Canada.
Mr.. Bellsmare was a man who was
well liked by those whom business or
work threw in his company. His death
will be regretted by many, and all those
who knew him will offer their heartiest
sympathies to his surviving family and
| relatives.
