Upon these and other, reasons he bases his claims for renomination, and they are certainly worthy of consideration. Chas. E. Osgood, who now fills the " position of County Treasurer, will he a candidate for reelection before the Republican County Con vention. Without fear of success ful contradiction, we can sav that Mr. Osgood has been a good trea surer for the interest of the people. In such case the people will likely call upon him to serve a second term. E. B. Warner makes public an nouncement this week that he is a candidate for County Clerk. Mr. Warner has been a resident of Lin c6ln county for about ten years, during which time he has been an active worker in the Republican ranks. He is the present Secretary of the County Committee, contrib uting by his energy .very largely to the splendid success achieved last fall. Two years ago be accepted the position of Coroner, which of fice lie at present fills, having dis charged its duties in a highly com mendable manner. He is in every way worth'" the position he seeks. By the announcement of Mr. Murphy, of Brady Island, the struggle for the conimissionersh'ip receives new interest. At a meet ing called for tbe'purpose of select ing a candidate from that section, he was unanimously endorsed by the Republican electors. Mr. Mur phy has resided in the county along time in fact lie was raised here aud has built him a very pleasant home near Brady Island station, owning a large tract of fine land. He is also an owner of North Platte City property. In urging his claims for nomination, the committee in a circular say: "Mr. Murphy will go into the convention without preju dice, and, should lie not be the choice, he will give his successful opponent a cordial, hearty and en thusiastic support." That certaiu ly has the ring of the true metal . 1 ,kTkW l-iMBaiaaHHBHaBa,HHBIaAiTvi-te To have aspirations for office is an honorable ambition . While a few are born lucky and have great ness thrust upon them, the large majority of successful men are those who help themselves. If you want anything let it be known and make an effortrio get it; then .your friends will help you; then those who were indifferent or had no in terest in your advancement will help you. "The Lord helps those who help themselves" is a trite say ing and possibly not accord iug to orthodox creeds, but there is truth it: nnd it holds good as well in politics as in other business. If you want office help yourself by let ting the people know your desire One of the best ways to do fchifw by- announcement ia the public pressv It .is open and' waaly and o te woria.tnm von: untena nno 1lUU, x uuu u uumn iic tvuuwu iu Sundays or the Fourth of July in his record of time. And what did it all amount to? Echo answers wind. He wanted an office and he had to promise something to get, it, and he tried to fill his promises based on nothing and he failed in all except to collect his per diem. Now he wants another office and he begins his abuse early. Most too early to bear fruit, as the bud will be apt to-be frost bitten before it blossoms. Now the average granger, "for that is who he is writing at," don't know much about keeping the county treasurer's books, but they know when they read in eastern Ne braska papers that the Lincoln county treasurer has collected more taxes in proportion than any other county in the state that we must have a rustler for a treasurer; and when the country school boards go to North Platte to see if they have money on hand to pay the teacher enough to enable her to settle her board bill and find cash on hancl to pay her in full, they go home rejoicing and tell all the neighbors what a boss treasurer we have. And then when they are haulded in on the jury to try Jeff Long and get paid in county warrants and can take them to tne bank and receive ninety-seven cents for a dollar, they remember the time and that not long ago when they would hold their warrants for a year or two or take eighty cents for them. Then the Warned Republicans were foolish enough to put a man in as treasurer that could and would collect the taxes and then Bob Douglas offered ninety cents in trade for warrants. After a while he was getting too rich and then the banks c took a hand in paying cash as above, with Bob Douglas paying $1.05 in trade. One more term of such a treasurer what will it lead to? But we are awful afraid we will have to stand it if the grangers have anything to say about it and we think they have, and don't you forget it, Mr. Bel ton. And, by the way Mr. B., you asked Mr. Osgood to explain something, I think it was Yankee something will you be so kind as to explain this: At the time you were putting in such large bills as county com missioner's salary and was taking your pay in warrants whose value were so far below par what per cent of your taxes did yon pay to the county treasurer to help the county pay oil its indebtedness? This is all I ask you to explain this time, but more anon. Hoosier. SPANNUTH PRECINCT.

Now and then there is a small strip of scenery worth looking at or land that has been; cultivated which is pleasant to the eye, after miles and miles of sand and sage brush and alkali, -dust. jAt the towns 4hey told us this soil is excellent and will produce anything if irrigated.

We reached the Columbia river about tlfree 6'cIoclqSunday afternoon; we also reached ihe chinook wind, or it reached us; this wind drifts the 8and along the road to such an extent they employ men to shovel it off the track so the trains can j?et through. Miles and miles of drifting white sand sparkling and shining in the sun. These drifts are very much like the snow drifts in Nebraska and remind me of them. At gome places they have sand fences to control the drifts; where the men are employed the wind blows so hard the fences do not protect the track sufficiently. ZTjhese drifts change with every wind so there is always mountains, val leys, ravines-and gorges being made in this beautiful, glittering, drifting sand. We were nearly three hours along the Columbia river with its sand and wind before we reached-the Dalles, which I can assure you was a welcome stop. There is a great change in the scenery- Trees, fruit and flowers in abundance. The Dalles is a nice lit tle town of 12,000. situated just be low the Rnpidin the Columbia river.

The great world's fair will be held at Chicago, but the Lincoln County Fair will be held at North Platte Sept. 17th-20th inclusive. Dry weather is ripening the crop of candidates in this as well as i mi ti i m otner counties, xney win oe ripe when the conventions meet and many will be disappointed because they are not picked. J. Gr. Beeler, of Wallace pre cinct, makes his announcement as a candidate for County Superintend ent. Mr. Beeler has resided in. the county about four years, locating on land about eight miles south of Wallace. As a teacher he has al ways taken much interest in educa tional affairs. TVV a bushel.,"- The" so-ealied alliahce-lajb6r: con vention of last Saturday was simply a Democratic annex, the sha'dowy form of Johh'Treacy being .plainly visible in the background. The object of course is to proselyte Republican votes. Now mark yon: Stebbins will form' a combination with the Democrats and under the head of labor-union will do an3r thing to defeat the Republican ticket and elect Democrats. When the true character of the movement is known it will be insulting to the intelligence of Republican farmers to believe that they will be led to desert their principles by so gauzy a pretext. We want reforms m man v things, but a reform was never vet 1 .-mm -f mauguratea or supported by the Democratic partv, and never will be. They opposed the abolition of slavery; they bitterly opposed the war; they opposed the creation of national currency; they opposed all the amendments to the constitu tion guaranteeing liberty; they have unitormlv and persistent! v opposed high license, and thev have opposed prohibtion even to the verge or revolution and mob vinlenr.fi XT-l. l n nub one single rerorm measure among the many that have been adopted in the past twentv vears can be pointed outthafc the Dem ocrats as a party Slave favored.

Yes, it is; and precious few Republicans will be fooled by the disguise. Our polite and accommodating jounty surveyor, A. J. Slootskey, lakes a bow to the public this reek and announces that he will be candidate before the Republican mvention for renomination. Mr. Uootskey has been a faithful and impartial officer, always ready for New FaU Suitings.

I had been awed, in spired and impressed, but never had I felt a spot of mountain scenery ask me to stay and dream lifes busy dream away in sweet solitude as this had done. We werfr all day on the water from The Dalles to Portland. These boats do not pretend to run on time. They pull to the shore on the slightest provocation and stay just as long as they like no one expects a boat to be within two hours of on time. But I was intending to tell a fish story while writing up this trip. If any one reads this who is so fond of fishing as to sit in the sand and mud and broiling: sunshine on the banks or the streams of western Nebraska all day and catch a little string of fish, just let me say to him don't do it "go west." In the Columbia river the water has al most turned to fish. I saw dressed sturgeons lying on the boat that looked like dressed beeves they were so large. Our boat stopped at a salmon cannery for about an hour. "The boys" got hooks and lines and proceeded to fish here in all this noise right by the side of the boat they pulled in a . dozen beautiful salmon fish that would measure from eighteen inches to two feet in length; but the greatest sport was had by throwing crackers or pieces of bread into; the water when the boat was going. The water actual ly 'turns black with the finny tribe in two minutes there would be a circle around the cracker of eight or ten feet solid fish and so tame we dipped them up with a parasol. Every hotel and boat is well sup plied with fish coocked in all the various styles salmon baked, boil ed, fryed, or roasted is usually the first thing seen on the bill of fare. About five o'clock we received a dispatch from the Portland board of trade saying they would inter tain our party the next day and would also look after all baggage free of charge. It is needless to 3ay we accepted their kind offer without putting it to vote. I liave forgotten to say that shortly after leaving Pocatello we received an invatation from the board of trade of Boise City and the Governor and legislature of Idaho to visit them in Boise City, but the kind invatation had to be respectfully declined on account of arrangements made already. We reached Portland about dark and were met by the board of trade and Maj. Hendersbot, who had pre ceded us to Portland hy rail while we stopped at The Dalles and had procured transportation for our party over the Oregon & California K. si. The Major had requested that we visit -Ashland, his home, and the Willamette valley and offered in persuasion that he would show w'&e, Garden of Eden in America, and if we returned with out seeing it we would carry away The .
