VOL. 2. MONUMENT, LOGAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1889. NO. 19.

LOCAL AND GENERAL. in favor of free whisky. There's con teen years, and proposes to continue in U. P. TIME TABLE.

The storm of last Saturday was quite severe around Augustine Springs, in the southwest part of the county, being accompanied by hail and sharp lightning. If you have a watch that you wish repaired in any way leave it with Weber llozell. It will be done by an old ex ft that course. "Enforced aroodness' works well in Tribune. We have concluded not to publish tho premiums awarded at the Logan county fair.

It would bo rather stale reading" by this time. We made, as we then thought, final and complete arrange-ments for it the first week after tho fair, but through no fault of ours the ar- angements turned out nix. Then the secretary kindly copied it and mailed it in time for tho next issue, but tho fate. and Uncle Sam's mail service, especially the latter, interfered nnd we wero again cheated out of it. Now we have concluded to let Uncle Sam and his mall service take the icportaudsoek a hotter climate with it.

Of all cheeky tflings tho cheekiest of tho cheeky that has come under our notice for many a day is tho free mm resolution of tho democratic party of -ogan county. How any father could mve voted for the passage of such a res olution passeth-our understanding. We also fail to see how any set of men in western Kansas who lay claim to the possession of common intelligence can after seeiug the benefits which prohibi tion has brought to the homesteader, deliberately pass a resolution favoring free rum. And the cheekiest part oi the whole cheeky transaction is asking decent, intelligent, enlightened, Chrin-tian people to support tho nominees of such a party. Let it never be forgoltcn that the so- called majority upon whoso shoulder.

Joseph K. Toole expects to mount into the governor's chair were 350 Dagos, who were naturalized after Marcus Daly had sent them to bo registered and who voted in the American state of Mont ma by handing to the judges a placard bear ing these words: can neither speak nor write the English language. I de sire to vote the straight domooratio tick et. What a commentary on free government! The votes of hose 350 Dagtw, not one of whom had the slightest, concern lor Montana, not one of whom had the faintest conception of the sighiti-cance of his vole the votes of these creatures are the voles bv which Mr. Toole claims to bo governor, If this it a victory, how proud he must feel of tlte achievement! -Helena Journal.

Died. On Friday, Oct. 11, 1889, Clyde Fields, aged 21 years. The funeral was held at the residence, south of Monument, on Sunday, the 13th, and the remains, followed by the relatives and a large number of friends, were interred in tht Monument township cemetery. Rev.

G. M. Gliek conducted the services. Mr Fields had been sick all the past summer and his death, occurring just as tut was entering manhood's years, brings sorrow to his acquaintances, who kiibw Lira as an honorable, upright young man. Spokane Falls New Line.

The Union Pacific railway, having completed its line to Spokane Falls, Washington Territory, is running it trains direct to that point, thus forming the most desirable route from the east on account of its Pullman Palace sleeping cars, Pullman Dining cars, and Fron Pullman Colonist Sleepers. Spokane Falls is situated in the Pa-louse country and is the distributing center for a section of. the Northwest, the resources of which are As an illustration: 50,000 bushels of wheat have been raised from 1.000 acres of land. Another feature of thb country greatly conducive to the raising of crops is the rainless harvests, no rain falling while crops are being harvested. Many desirable farms may yet be had in this remarkably productive region ou reasonable terms, and a more favorable-opportunity for procuring a farm cheap will not soon present itself again.

For pamphlets descriptive of tho country, or for rates, time tables or maps pertaining to the Union Pucifiu railway, apply to your nearest ticket agent of this company, or the undersigned. E. L. Lomax, 1913 Geu, Pass. Ag'd, sistency for yon; yet what better can be expected of a party whose record is one of inconsistencies? The Topekrv Capital says: "Judge Osborne; of the Twenty-third district, is ecoming a terror on the bench.

Yes terday ho discovered heavy overcharges in the fee bill of Sheriff McLatie, of Ellis county, and gave him a severe lecture in open court and cut the bill down over $000. lie also cid'id that attorneys lave the right to place sheriff's sale ad vertisements where tliev desire." The democrats of Logan county re solve that "we charge that the republi cans at the last federal election obtained power in the nation by corruption and false pretenses, by intimidation of voters," etc. In the light of certain elec tion matters at tho south, and even else where, in which democrats have taken active and prominent parts, the above resolution is decidedly refreshing. It is said that the committee on reso lutions at the lately deceased democratic convention forgot the most vital anil fundamental "principle" of their party and reported tho resolutions without the free whisky plank. The convention, however, with fond remembrance, very quickely noticed tho fatal omission and promptly placed the democratic party on its proper base and in its true light before the people.

The democratic party of Logan coun ty is in a hard row of stumps. With no newspaper, no votes to speak of, no principles except so-called principles culled from the Bourbon, whisky-cor rupted Kansas City Times, and no lead ing ideas except the dim traditions of democratic administrations by Jeff Davis and Grover Cleveland, the democratic party of Logan county is to be pitied as well a despised. We are not given to fulsome flattery hence when wo say we believe the Kan sas Newspaper Union, at Topeka, is is suing the best ready print of any houso in the west, we mean every word of it It is a distinctive Kansas institution and the newspapers of the slate should take pride iu not only having the best patent possible but in supporting a business that is so closely allied to the inteiest of our grand state. A man crawled into a log to get out of the rain. The water swelled the log so that when ho tried to crawl out he found he was fast.

There seemed to be no hope for him until, in reviewing his past misdeeds, he happened to remem ber that he was a delegate to tho demo- ciatie convention in Logan county in 1889 that passed a resubmission resolu tion. He immediately felt so small that he easily crawled out of the log. We have received from G. V. Ripley of Page, a copy of the picture that he took of the Monument township display while it was at the county fair.

Con siuering that Mr. Kipley is a compara lively new hand at the business and that the room wts poorly adapted to picture taking, the work is exceedingly credit able. He sells them at 30 cents apiece ana a number oi them sent to your friends would be a good advertisement for tho west An exchange says that some time ago a man wrote to the secretary of his fair association, saying: "Please offer a pre mium for the biggest fool in the country I stopped my home paper, and three weeks later a traveling swindler did me f'r $80 in money. I renewed my sub scription and got all the back numbers and by the beard of the prophet! the very next issue after I quit contained a full expose of the trick that got away with me. I want to hire a dozen men to kick me all around my new The liquor tratiie is regarded by many people as an unmitigated evil, and it tin xloubtedly cones about as near to that definition as any business we know, saloon depreciates property in its imm diate vicinity; it is generally a resort of the lowest elements of the community the business is demoralizing to the in dividual, and too often destroys the peace and happiness of families.

"The Bounced P. M's." Try the Monument tinner. There are trades and rumors therof. Burton Smith was Sundav. down to Elkader Arthus Groves is quite sick, the result of a hard cold.

Word comes to town that Diek Eng. land is quite siek. Joe Jordan has been appointed police judge of Wallace. Geo. W.

Hand will make final proof on his claim next Saturday. We understand that Mrs. Hobert is preparing to move to Oberlin. J. L.

Berry expects to soon start on the road with a dehorning outfit. Buy the Aernioter mill and Douglass pump. For sale by H. L. Dedrick.

Was there a dance at Monument last Friday night? That's the question. Call for prices and terms on hoe and press grain drills at Burton Smith's. The homesteaders on the democratic county ticket are conspicuous by their absence. What's the matter with calling the democrat county ticket "The Bounced P. M's?" Weber Rozdl are paying 15 cents a pound for butter and 15 cents a doz en for eggs.

The political campaign in Logan county this fall will be very short ami very bloodless. President Harrison better duck his head tho democrats of Logan county "arraign" him. A sister of Mrs. II. Bearnes, from Delaware, is visiting her at her home just west of town.

Mrs. Burke, of Salina, arrived yesterday to visit her son, Lewis, southwest of Monument. Some men are born hogs, some aehieye hoggishness, while some never want to pay their subscriptions. The Logan county democratic ticket seems to be a sort of a refuge for superannuated and bounced postmasters. Mrs.

J. W. Edwards and Mrs. P. C.

Weber attended the Sunday-School institute at Winona last Friday and Saturday. ft is reported that J. W. Salters has become agent for the Rock Springs coal and will shortly put iu scales and build sheds. Bro.

Gustus seems to be "catching it" from all sides. It's now Bro. Fenste-niaker, of the Augustine Herald, who is after his scalp. Chas. Churchill is putting up Wm.

Large's new windmill today. Billy Neil is tending the hardware store during his absence. We understand that Burton Smith has bought the blacksmith shop opposite his hardware store and that he has engaged P. J. Freed to run it.

We wonder how the one or two ex-prohibitionis in the late democratic county convention like that free whisky plank in their platform. Mr. and Mis. N. P.

Churchill and their visitors, Mr. and Mrs. Wight, visited relit lives southwest of town the latter part of last week. The car of the tank painting gang of tho Union Pacific was sidetracked at this place Monday. They are painting the tank at the old station- It is honestly no fun fighting the democrats of this county.

Even after you have sat on 'em awhile there's not enough to make a grease spot, 'fne boys on the Monument section are putting the switch in excellent shape by replacing the oldest ties with new ones. The attention was needed. Will Drury took W. J. Neil, G.

W. Summerville and Henry Wagner to Colby Saturday, where tho two latter gentlemen took the train for home. perienced workman anu charges reasonable The Union Pacific will sell round trip tickets to the races at Colby from the 16th to the 19th of October, good returning ou the 20th, at 1J fare for the round trip. The commissioners meet in special session next Monday, Oct. 21, to consider the matter of dividing Winona and Monument townships in the interest of a few at Page.

Chas. Peterson recently sent east and abtaiiwl a peek of a new variety of winter wheat called the Golden Cross. If it turns out well lie will have plenty of seed to sell next yar. Messrs. G.

W. Summerville and Henry Wagner, of Otlumwa, and W. J. Neil and II. Waldters, of this place, drove down in the country south of town last Friday looking at land.

We are not particularly addicted to blushing, but if the democrat party of Logan county hasn't sufficient decency to blush for itself and if no one else will do it, we will. We proceed to blush. Recent letters from Mr, Solomon, a relative of J. L. Berry who was out here a short time ago from Illinois, slate that he is making active preparations to move here before cold weather sets in.

We'll wager that is, we would if we were in the habit of betting that the man the democrats put on us central committeeman for Monument is not in sympathy with his party in its allegiance to tho free rum idea. The damp, rniny leather the past few days has interfered somewhat with wheat sowing, but today the clouds are clearing away and the farmers are rushing the seed into the ground with re newed hope and energy. Nearly every newspaper in New York is out in opposition to the Texas deep-water haibor project. Here's a hid for western congressmen when the location of the world's fair comes up for settle ment in congress. Kansas City News.

Did the Logan county democrats cull their resolutions from an encyclopedia? That's wheie their idol, Saint Grover Cleveland, gets his ideas, and they surely would not have the audacity to write anything original in the face of that fact. Mis. Wood and her grandson, who live about sixteen miles south of town, came in from Colorado Tuesday ami Will Drury took them down home. It was an inky dark night and they had some hairbreadth escapes among the canons in that part of the country. Mr.

and Mrs. Henry Haworth, of Rus sell Springs, passed the night last night in this place at the Hotel de Drury. Mr. Haworth has been at Kingfisher, Oklahoma, all summer, having gone thee during the big rush last April. He is in the meat business and is well pleased with the con try.

An exchange says an Oberlin woman cured her husband of staying out late of nights by going to the door when he came and whispering through the keyhole: "Is that you, Willie?" Her hus band's name is John and ho stays at home every nigat now, and sleeps with one eye open and a revolver under his pillow. We are Heeling facts in regard to the acreage of wheat sown in this neighborhood this fa'l. So far we have the number of acres sown by 22 farmers, which amount to 1,518 acres. This is an average of 70 acres for each farmer, which is about the way it will go all over Logan and the south third of Thomas county. Let us see, the party which recently in county convention passed a resolution favoring free rum was raising a terrible rumpus last year because it pretended to believe that the republican party was i.
