From Winona he went to Petoskey for a brief outing. While there he may meet Governor Marshall and do a little visiting with him, and maybe talk some politics.—Columbia City Post. Tbe several thousand people who attended the 101 Ranch show Thursday night were surprised when Joseph Miller, one of the owners, rode ojt and in his address of welcome, announced that the wire fence which surrounds their immense farm near Bliss. Oklahoma, was built by the Ward Fence company of Decatur. It was another proof that our town is on the map, that people from every state recognize us, and Mr. Millers words were cheered. It made everybody feel even more kindly to the great showman. Mr. Bryan stands pat as to bis statements concerning Mr. Vnderwood and says be wrote the editorial himself and has no regrets. He offers no additional evidence to convince one that the congressman has been other than honest and the records as referred to by that geneltman will stand. Mr. Underwood has made good as democratic leader, has proven that he has brains, is fearless and honest. So far as known his actions deserve praise rather than criticism and -ven from one so renowned as the peerless leader good proof will be necessary to diminish the esteem in which be Is held by his countrymen
