WHEN a man once gets Office he will
will always find hosts of.fellows who are
willing to sacrifice themselves for some
good fat Office. Such is the case now,
and a great:many applications are be-
ing Sent in to our members OF the leg
%islature recently elected, for all kinds
of favors in that direction.
Ir looks very much like the pro-
posed u. L. railway was no small
matter. The head officials of that liae
with their special coach were in this
city for three or four days last week,
looking the country over. and we
would not he surprised to hear that
grading for the recently surveyed load
had commenced. We hope it will.
A GREAT many complaints have
been made, and cur attention has been
called several times to n bad sewer
which is in close proximity to the de-
not. 1t is said that the stencil is per-
fectly awful at times. The proper au-
thorities should see that it is fixed.
Such places are regular breeders of dis
ease.
WE would like to see some. town
that has two finer banking houses than
Red Cloud. The Red Cloud National
and the First National bank buildings
would do credit to many cities FIVE
times as large as Red Cloud. THE
CHIEF takes pride in the advancement
of all institutions that lend towards
the growth of the metropolis of Web.
ster county.
WHAT is the reason that we cannot
have some such institution as a can
ming factory, a Sugar refinery, a foun-
dry. chair, or wagon factory, or some
thing Of the kind. We have the best
water power in the west, besides other
advantageous surroundings for any OF
the above named institutions. Let
some n make a start. Don't let ev-
erything fall through. Now is the
time.
THANKSGIVING will take place one

all kinds have been more abundant
than at any time for years, and in the
words of some illustrious contempor
ary we exclanm eve have much to be
thankful for"
