Arkansas is showing a very friendly
feeling for Denver by refusing to send
Senator Jeff Davis as a delegate to
the democratic convention.
Sherwin & Harnett are having the
roof of their store building repaired
this week. They are also making
some needed repairs on the inside.
The republican mijority this fall
depends largely on the number of
speeches Bryan will make during the
campaign. The more speeches the
more republican votes: so get busy.
Senator Jeff Davis was defeated for
delegate-at-large to the Denver con-
vention. Jeff will continue to be "at
large" though, despite the wishes of
his party.
It is claimed that Bryan has made
over 100 speeches in Nebraska so far
this year. It will be noticed, perhaps,
just as a co-incidence, that the state
has had more tornadoes than usual
lately.
Col. Watterson says Mr. Bryan can-
not win without the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal support. This may all be
true, but his election will depend
largely upon the number of votes
he gets.

GOOD FOR RALSTON.
A move is on foot to establish a
I cereal plant here and V. D. Eberw«in
one of the promoters of the enter
prise, will leave Sunday afternoon for
Kansas Citv to attend a meeting of
the stockholders. Mr. Eberweln as-
sures us that the mill will be located
here without different arrangements
are made by the Kansas City stock-
holders, which he thinks is hardly
probable. This mill will furnish em-
ployment to thirty or forty men and
make Ralston one of the best corn
markets in the state. We will have
more to say about this enterprise next
week after Mr. Eberwein returns.

A Texas democrat who aspires to
the gubernatorial nomination has de-
clared for Bryan in 1912. This may
be a little sudden, but Bryan will ac-
cept the nomination, all right enough.
Sherwin & Barnett have bought out
the Hour and feed business formerly
conducted by Harry Conklin and are
moving the stock to their own build-
ing. Mrs. Conklin has also disposed
of their lease west of town, F.. W.i
Brooks having bought tliej^ame.
The county treasurer sent uh a
check this week for 2 cents, drawn on i
the Bank of Commerce. We haven't!
cashed in yet.
Miss Stella Webb, of Coffeyville,
Kausas. is visiting her sister, Mrs.
Dr. Steinberger.
James Ingraham came up from
Pawnee Thursday and visited for a
day or so with relatives.
A GOOD MAN GONE.
R. M. Hoggatt died last Sunday,
June 2lst, and was buried the follow-
ing day in the Ralston cemetery. The
funeral services were held at the
family residence and many of our cit-
zens were present to pay their last
sal respects to their departed friend.
The casket was tastefully trimmed in
red, white and blue, and almost buried
•m flowers. The services were con
ducted by Rev Jones of Beaver coun-
ty, and were very impressive.
Comrade Hoggatt was born in Mc-
(loupin county, Illinois, 69 years ago.
He was married to Miss Rebecca
Hudleston in 1859, and soon after their
[marriage moved to Kansas. After
I the war of the rebellion broke out he
enlisted in the 6th Kansas, rendering
efficient service all through the war.
I At the close of the conflict he retired
| to private life and settled near Fort
Scott, Kansas. In 1898 he moved with
his family to Pawnee county, Okla-
homa, where he has lived ever since.
He leaves a wife, four children and
a host of friends to mourn his death.
A COMPARISON.
Under Territorial legislature the
senate composed 13 members ami the
house 26. making a total of 39 mem-
bers. They were paid $4 per day and
were in session for 60 days, lheex-
p mses for the entire session amount-
ed to $9,300.
The State legislature with 153 merr
bers, each drawing *6 per day for 180
days, cost the state $175,240. showing
a saving to the people of $165,880 in
favor of territorial management. Of
course this is not much, hut we sim-
ply mention the fact thav the vaters
may know where the money goes.
WALL PAPER
Nothing adds to ot detract*
from the cheerfulness of a
room more than Wall Papei.
The furnishings serve to em.
bellish the decorative effect;
but the Wall Papei is the
most conspicuous teature of
the room and reflects the ar-
tistic taste of the occupant.
Satisfactory selections can-
not be made from a limited
assortment; the best results
are obtained by comparison.
