NEWSPAPERS: THE STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado: 17 Oct 1890, Vol IV - No 10 http://files.usgwarchives.net/co/phillips/newspapers/sthld1890/90oct17.txt Donated by: Vicki Conklin 2 Aug 2006 ====================================================================== STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado J.H. PAINTER Editor & Publisher 17 Oct 1890, Friday, Vol. IV - No. 10 Page One LOCAL LORE It is our purpose to note the arrival and departure of all guests to our city, and request those who have visitors to inform us of the fact. Local news items are always thankfully received. Do not forget to bring in those sample sugar beets. We will have something to say about Mr. Hazen’s letter, in the next issue. Williams should lecture on “how to make county printing a success financially.” Whitney Irwin was called to his old home at Augusta, Illinois last week by the serious sickness of his father. Yes, we cut the cherry tree with our little hatchet, but the other fellow is just as mean as we are. - Williams J.H. Stokesbarry and family started, Monday, for Denver, where they will make their home this winter. Christ Johnson, who has for some time been living in Denver, came down the first of the week to look after his farm interests. One day last week, Ed Gathe, while driving cattle, had his horse fall with him, injuring his foot so severely that he is compelled to use a crutch. A.A. Temple returned Tuesday from his western trip. He remained several days in Salt Lake City and was much pleased with that place. CARD. I desire to tender my sincere thanks to the many friends who so kindly aided me in the last sickness of my wife. - J.O. Spaulding The latest sensation in Holyoke is the discovery of a haunted house. A ghost is said to have made its appearance and as a result the house has been vacated. NOTICE. Parties owning on subscription to the Holyoke Tribune, will please call at the office of STATE HERALD and pay same to J.H. Painter. - H.J. Porter J.I. Grimes arrived in Holyoke, Monday, from Washington, on a short visit to his father in law, J.C. Elder. Mr. Grimes expresses himself well pleased with Washington and will take his family with him on his return. Williams says that we are trying to drive him out of Holyoke. No, far from it. No greater calamity could befall the republican party of the county than for Williams to leave, and we certainly would not knowingly work to the injury of the party. P. Raymond has sold his business property in Holyoke to S.W. Beggs and started, Tuesday morning, for Denver with a team. His family will remain in Holyoke until he decides upon a location. H.J. Porter, formerly of the Tribune, has shipped his household goods to Denver where he will make his future home. He has accepted a position with the Iowa Building and Loan Association and will have charge of the business in Denver. On the night of the 8th of this month, Sherman Hollenbeck, living southwest of Holyoke, in Yuma County, on going out to the stable to look after his horses, was attacked by three men, one of whom struck him with a sand bag, knocking him down, when they secured his pocket book containing $50, struck him again with the sand bag and left. It was so dark in the stable where the robbery took place, that Mr. Hollenbeck can give no description of the parties that would identify them. ANNOUNCEMENT To The Voters of Phillips County At the earnest solicitations of numerous friends throughout the county who are opposed to “gag clique,” ring rule and wholesale jobbery, such as was practiced at the late democratic convention, I hereby announce myself as an independent candidate for the office of county commissioner for the first district of Phillips County, Colorado. - John C. Elder We are informed that, one night, not long ago, some thief entered the dwelling of Thomas Spinas, south of town, and stole $285. Mr. Spinas had on retiring, placed the money under his pillow from which place the thief took it. The thief evidently knew that Mr. Spinas had the money and also, where he would be likely to find it. “Painter can make figures for his own work, and run his “gang” ticket, and we will attend to our own bills. How is he for reforms anyway? Can he show as much discount on his bills as we have made? Did he reduce fees when Judge?” - NEWS The “democratic reformer” was evidently touched in a tender place last week. He does not enjoy being disturbed when feeding at the public crib on double rations. He says we can gather up our play things and go home, for he will not play with us. Yes, he seems to have considerable ability to look after his “own bills,” and all he needs to make a success of the business, is a chance to get his bill in. No, we never discount our bills according to the Williams rule of discount. Our education in that line must have been sadly neglected, for we never knew before, that multiplying a bill by two, discounted it. No, we did not reduce our fees when Judge nor were we under any contract to do so. The truth is, the “reformer” has been caught this time and is at a loss to know how to explain his actions. All persons who were furnished with sugar beet seed by Mr. Porter, last spring, will, within the next ten days, please leave at the HERALD office a sample of the beets raised from these seed. We desire to select samples raised in different parts of the county and forward them to Grand Island where they will be analyzed and the result given us for publication. Be sure and bring in these samples, if you are interested in the success of beet culture in this county. Go East Young Man Or woman via the great Overland Route, the Union Pacific Ry. No change between Denver and St. Louis, in connection with the Wabash Ry. Absolutely the short line between these two cities. Free Chair Cars, Pullman Palace Sleepers and Diners are run daily over this well known and popular route. Tickets on sale at all stations. At the request of Mr. Hazen, we publish in this issue a letter from him in answer to an editorial in the last week’s issue. Owing to the lack of space we can not fully answer the questions raised in his communication. As to the proposition of Mr. Hazen to submit the tickets to the people without an active campaign, we have to say that we are not the republican party of the county nor do we occupy such a position in the party that we can pledge it to any course of action, as Mr. Hazen seems to think that he can do with the alliance. We are running a republican paper and shall continue to do so. You will see in this issue the announcement of J.C. Elder as independent candidate for commissioner. Mr. Elder does not propose to quietly submit to the unjust treatment which he received at the hands of the late democratic convention. We understand that Williams refused to print his announcement for fear he would offend some of the “faithful” who controlled the convention. He also promised Mr. Elder that if he would not come out independent, he should be the next county treasurer. A great man is this Williams, who imagines that he carries the county offices in his vest pocket.

Timberlake, 3:00 Gradation of our schools, by Supt. Charles B. Timberlake, 3:30 The democrats held their county convention last Saturday and nominated Mark Leonard for commissioner and J.A. Temple for sheriff. They made a grave mistake when they dropped the old democratic wheel horse, J.C. Elder, to nominate the man they nominated. Mr. Elder has made a good commissioner and he was the strongest man for the position in the democratic party regardless of the result of the convention. If there was any doubt about the election of Copp, the nomination made by the democrats removes it. Copp will now have a walk away. J.A. Temple would make a good sheriff, but the democrats have very much lessened their chances of electing a sheriff, by refusing to endorse the democratic alliance candidate. If the republicans do their duty, and they will, Fred Hawks will be the next sheriff of the county and there certainly is no better man for the position in the county.
