He made this point more clearly, and with the evident purpose of having no misconstrue tion placed upon his position in his Louisville (Ky.) speech yesterday.

He stated most emphatically tlat he expressed his personal opinion, and was not posing as a dictator of his party. Here is one paragraph from his Louisville speech that shows that Mr. Bryan is willing to leave the disposition of that question to the next national Democratic convention, and shows that Mr. Bryan is so fair and broad in his views Governor Cobb's Plurality Less Than 8,000.

Our new Fall Stock of Shoes is now open for your in spection, We believe this is the best selected line ever opened in this city, We have borne in mind the fact that the public appreciates good, honest made shoes, consequently we have bought only such goods as we can conscientiously recommend to be absolutely right in every respect. One of the most im portant facts to consider is that our goods are all New, Clean and Fresh. We have no old shoes to work off on our customers, We placed our orders early, before the advance in leather, and we will say to you candidly that we can and will sell you shoes at a lower price than any other house in Nevada. If you 3 are in doubt come and examine our goods and you will be convinced that what we say is true. WILL C.

If you ask me whether" the question of government ownership will be an issue in the campaign of 1908, answer I do not know.

If you ask me whether it ought to be in the platform, I reply I cannot tell until I know what the Democratic voters think upon the subject. If the Dem ocrats believe that the next platform should contain a plank for gover ment ownership, then that plank ought to be included. If the Democrats think it ought not to contain such a plank, then such a plank ought not to be included. It rests with the party to make the platfor and individuals can only advise. isnt that a declaration characteristic of a big, brainy man and Democrat who docs not think he bigger than his party?

11. Gover-noi Wm. T. Cobb of Rockland (Republican), standing on a platform devoted almost exclusively to a continuance of tho prohibitory law of the state, was re-elected yesterday hy a plurality of less that 8,000, with but few exceptions the smallest margin of votes ever given a governor in the state of Maine. Cyrus W.

Davis of Wutcrville, tho Democratic candidate for governor, polled one of the largest votes in the history of the party in this state. Hits issue in the campaign was the resubmission of the liquor question, hich was incorporated in the state constitution four years ago. More interesting from a certain standpoint was the re-election of Congressman Charles E. Littlefield (Republican) from tho Second district hy a greatly reduced majority. Congressman Littlefield's candidacy was tho subject of bitter opposition on tho part of Samuel Gom-pers, president of tho American Federation of Labor, who asked for his defeat on the grounds that he had voted against certain lalxir measures at the last session of congress.

The issue between Gompers and Littlefield was taken up hy the Republican congressional committee, and for three weeks Secretary of War Wm. H. Taft, Senator Lodge and Senator Beveridge and several congresspien were pitted against the head of the Federation of Labor. Mr. Littlefield's plurality was estimated last night at, about 1,000 Congressman Edwin C.

Burleigh in tlm Third district, and Llewellyn Powers in the Fourth are re-elected hy 2,000 plurality. The re-election of Congressman Ames L. Allen in the Fifth is claimed by the Republi can leaders. The legislature will he Republican by a safe margin. MISS sherbetTot IN FAST COMPANY.

PUBLISHED BY SOUTHWEST MAIL PRINTING CO Special to Hornin' bnt Stock Yards, Kansas City, Sept. 13. Moderate cattle receipts are again the rule this week, and tho market is in good shape. All kinds sold strong and-active Tuesday, and the market is steady and alive yesterday, run 13,000 head. Demand is a little ahead of the supply of all kinds this week.

Good to prime finished steers are more scarce each week, but there is no great call for them, so the price remains about the same. Some steers sold at $6.20 and $6.25 Tuesday, top price yesterday was $6.35. The big bulk of the supply is grass stuff, steers from the range coming in better flesh this year than usual, and most of them are eligible in ttie killing classes, that formally wore strictly stackers or feeders. These medium steers get tho benefit of competition from both feeder buyers and killers, cspeeiully as tho best 'demand from the country now is for fleshy steers for a short feed. Still the general country demand is equal to the supply, and the yards are kept pretty well cleaned up of this class all the time.

Range of prices on fair to good steers is unchanged from a week ago, $3 50 to $3.50, in eluding Westerns, heifers $3 00 to $4.50, a few, fed heifers this week at $1.75 to $5.15, cows $2 40 to $3.60, bulls $2.10 to $3.15, veals $3.50 to $6.00, bulk of feeders $3.50 to $4.40, a few fleshy feeders for a short feed at $4.50 to' $5.25, stock steers $2.60 to $4.15. Panhandle and Colorado are furnishing a good many cattle this eek, and tho market on them is satisfactory, Colorado killing steers $3.65 to $4.05, cows $2.30 to $3.25, Stockers and feeders $2.90 to $4.00, panhandle cows $2. 30 to $3.00, killing steers $3.40 to $3.85, some fed steers up to $5.25, stockers anil feeders $3.00 to $3.85, veals $3.50 to $5.50. Smaller hog receipts have been coming lately, run only 8,000 yesterday, and unless there is an increase in tho supply tho market is likely to make a substantial advance soon. Market was lower and very uneven Tuesday, but was strong to 5 higher yesterday, light hogs $6.20 to $6.35, mixed weights $6.10 to $6 25, heavy hogs $6.00 to $6.15.

Thistimoa year ago, tho market was breaking, receipts about like they are now, hut demand is much tho strangest now. A sensational price was paid for Utah lambs Tuesday, $8.00 for 12o0 head. Lambs aro 15 to 30 cents higher this week, sheep steidy, country kinds firm. Run wav 7,000 yesterday, market steady, brst lambs $7.40 to $7.90 yesterday, wethers and ewes $5.00 to $5.50, yearlings $5.80, Feeding lambs bring $6.00 to $6.30, yearlings arum! $5.50, wethers $5.00, breeding twes $4.80 to $3.40.

gj D. W. WILSON, Manager. I The Odd Follows of Vernon county held their second annual picnic at beautiful LakePurk SpringsWednqs-day, and a large number of tho various lodges of the county were in attendance, as were many from Cedar county. There are many excellent fraternal orders in this state where genuine brotherly love exists, aud all have accomplished great good, but none stand higher or has done a greater work for humanity than have the Odd Fellows.

During. the past years a great host of men have felt the uplifting and cheerful hand of the Odd Fellow; a great number of widows have been comfoited and assisted in the battle of life, and countless are tho orphans that have been protected and wisely counseled by the men who wear and have honored the three links. The Odd Fellows homes have proven to be a shelter to those members who have been unfortunate and are evidence of the good principles of the order. The Odd Fellow reaches out the helping hand during the life of his brother and in death he bows at the bier aud garnishes the grave with flowers, and turns to assist the widow and orphan. The Odd Fellow lodge is a great power for good and lean social life.

Nevada boasts of two of tho strongest orders in the state, numbering among tho membership tho very best men of the city. These -two orders have accomplished much, and tho kind deeds to tho Unfortunate, tho sick, tho widow and tho orphan aro so many that numbers cannot represent them. Nevada gladly welcomed these splendid men and tho women of the Rebecca lodges, undhopcs that their annual picnics will continue und will afford them thegroatost pleasure. The program rendered today was very entertaining and was fully appreciated hy all present. Prof.

Crawfords splendid hand furnished superb music during the day. The exorcises were opened hy a fervent prayer hy Rev. W. L. Haskett, followed hy tho weleomo address delivered by L.

B. Ewing of this city. Mr. Ewing's address was one of the best ever heard at tho park und lie established a reputation for being one of the best orators of tho city. Mrs.

Estes delighted tho Odd" Fellows hy her muling as did Mrs. Titus during the afternoon. The orator of tho day, Hon. Daniel E. Bird of Kansas City, Grand Con doctor of the 1.

O. O. F. order, delivered a masterful address during tho afternoon which everyone present appreciated. Bo is not only an eloquent speaker, but one that says something when ho talks.

A feature of the program hich good Odd Fellows, like all others enjoy, was a splendid basket dinner which was served at the noon hour. Tonight the Odd Fellows will assemble iu the Nevada I. O. O. F.

Whereupon, says the Post-Dispatch we are informed by various newspaper authorities that this is a sign of abounding prosperity, wealth a superfluity of riches, etc. But it has been discovered in Chicago that many auto-crazed poople have actually mortgaged their homes to become the owner of a wrhiz wagon. In Ohio even farms have been pledged.

And in Springfield, the banks re port that they hold thousands of dollars in notes made for the same purpose. If this is prosperity, let the autoists and the country make the most of it. But it is not clear to the cautious how an auto which produces pleasure and an expense account is a good foundation for prosperity, as compared with farm which produces food for a family of five. And the mystery is deepened when it appears that the farm was mortgaged for the price of the machine. Kueipt Hogs, ft, 000.

BERRY IN MEXICO, In The Camp Where Robbery and Other Troubles Occurred. Ip protection protects Theres a man in Columbia who makes shoes. He would make more shoes if no shoes were brought into Columbia from other towns.

Let us, says the Herald, put a tariff on shoes. Let us hy city ordinance declare that no man can buy shoes made outside of Columbia except he pay five dollars on each pair of shoes above the ordinary price for the privilege. Having adopted the ordinance we will station officers at every road leading to Columbia to exact the toll on every pair of shoes brought in. The Columbia shoemaker will, however, raise the price of shoes nearly five dollars and he will get the benefit of the toll. If there are people in Columbia the 9,999 who buy shoes will pay more fur their shoes in order that the one shoemaker may make more money.

If protection protects, why not? It would be the robbery of all for the enrichment of one? i Of course. 'It would he immoral? Certainly.
