relates to the surrender of an alleged

Of the Twenty fourth Infantry, and

BOOMING R. R. MEETING.
SENATOR GRANGER AND wa. BlSSELr
IN COMMUNICATION WITH The ROCK +
ISLAND OFFICIALS
Phalipsburg Can Get the Rock lsland-Col.
Baker Soon 10 feel the Pulse Of our Citizens.

For some time the newspapers have
been discussing the probability of the
Rock Island extension through the
northern tier of counties with varying de-
gree Of confidence. The proposed route
commences near the mouth Of White
Rock Creek in Jewell county, thence
west through Burr Oak. Salem, Cora,
Smith Center, Phillipsburg and on
west through the county seats Of the
north tier TO the state line.
A glance at the map shows that this
strip Of country which is she best agri-
cultural section Of the state, is strange
" deficient in railroad facilities. Per-
haps the cause Of this may be traced to
the fact that the people trusted too
much to luck or to the natural attrac-
tons of the country to secure a railroad.
Be this as it may, we are now alive to
the fact that we want a r. R. and have
goJ to rustic to get it. Nor are We
alone in our efforts TO secure this pro-
posed route. Enthusiastic railroad
meetings have been held all along the
route and committees have been ap-
pointed to confer with each other and
with the railroad officials. A meeting
Of this kind was held in this city last
Monday and a committee Of i've of our
representative citizens appointed and a
purse Of about $500 was raised to de-
fray the expenses of the committee
which is to spare no effort to secure the
road. In letter 10 Senator Granger a
few days ago Col. Baker, of the west
ern extension Of the Rock Island, said
1t was the intention Of The company to
build through the north tier of coun-
ties, and that he would soon make a
tour over the line to ascertain the SEN
timent Of the people.
We have an enterprtsing class Of bus
mess men and farmers in this section
who appreciate the advantages Of a
railroad and are willing to do more
than the fair thing if the company
mean business. The amount that will
be asked by the company can be easily
raised, and the increased valuation of
property together with railroad taxes
along the line will liquidate any rea-
sOnable sum we may pay to secure the
road in time.

FOR CONGRESS.

We this week announce the name OF
Theodore Bracken, q Phillips county
man fer Congressional honOrs. There
are number Of embryonic statesmen
throughout the district who are willing
10 accept the responsible position, rath-
er than have the Office 60 vacant. men
TO who would make very ereditabie
representatives but Phillips county
VIII present a candidate and one who
has bsen long aud lavora6lW kEJah as
u mah Of sterling honesty, eminent
ability and unexceptiOnable personal
habits, and is thoroughly acquainted
with the wants Of the people of Western
Kansas. Mr.. Bracken was born in
Butler county, Penn, October 23d 4,
1919. At the age OF ten years, he
moved, with his father TO Washington
county, Ohio. He entered Freshman
Cias Of Marietta College. at Marriet-
IA, Ohio, in the fall CT 1870, and grad
uaied with the degree Of A. BIS in 1874.
In tie spring OF 1873, he moved to
Phillips county, Kansas, and was in the
fall of 1880 elected to the Office of Supt.
OF Public Instruction as u RepubIcan
by more than 400 majority. Mir.
Bracken has always been a staunch
Republi, an, and is always found on the
right side Of all questions and measures
Tor the advancement and interest," OF the
people. In short, he is thoroughly
competent TO fill the position to which
he aspires, has the faculty to think long
and commercially on any subject, and
would be sale and reliable representa-
live for all parts Of the district. Phillips
county will send a solid delegation for
Mr.. Bracken.

sooiaIistlo Outrages.

1t the time of its existence the Know
Nnthing party was looked upon with de-
riSiOn but the state of affairs in Chica-
90 begins to demonstrate the fact that
trlc American citizens must take meas
ures 10 protect themselves and their lib
critics from the socialistic Tabble in this
country or serlOns social and civil diff
entities will surely result. The an arch
lists, melted by their leaders, did acts of
y Oieuce unheard of since the bloody
days of France. A bomb was thrown
into a squad OF policemen, killing and
wounding % men, and there are now
80 peTsOns.l lying in the hospital wound
=, dead or dying. At Milwaukee the
situation is scarcely better. Our gov
eminent is 50 lenient that this co mmu-
nistic e ement seem to have no idea that
such thing as treason can be perpc-
traled against our Nation. Freedom of
speech and action is every mans, but
the course of this society vermin, bears
no more resemblance 10 a struggle for
just rights than the works Of the very
devil.

PHILLlPa, CANDIDATE

1rIs now definitely settled that we
will have a Congressional candidate, IN
the person Of Mr.. TheO. Bracken, Of
Phillipsburg.
The name of Judge W. H. Pratt has
been extensively mentioned in oonnec-
ton with the candid icy. but he has de-
clined to run.
Aside from Judge Pratt, there is
probably no one in the county who
would make so strong a run as Mr..
Bracken. He is a man of intelligence
and sterling integrity, and is worthy OF
the suffrage Of :he- voters in this dis
trict.-r Kirwin Chief.

DAYrON ITEMS

Now is the busy season of the year
a much larger amount of land is being
cultivated in this locality than ever be-
lore. Farmers seem 10 be aCtuatsd by
a spirit of thorOughness in their work
and the steady click of the lister tells Of
the probable need Of larger cribs this
fall. 4 large number Of mutt trees are
beng planted this spring. People have
been encouraged by the healthy con-
dition of those planted last year and the
result is that some very promising
yOung orchards may be seen in Dayton.

Guiding his peach orchard all in good

John Castillo has been doing some
fencing this spring. He has fine To-
cation on Silver Creek and his farming

Mr.. +. Williams, Of kirwins has
moved his family to Dayton. He de-
alares his intention TO make that his

Of morality and sociabiiity and to be
counted among the good people OF Day

When the Times some SIX months
ago asserted that the Rock Island com
pany was maturing plans for the extern
sion of its system west of the Missouri
river, and gave the details OF the pro-
iect such as has been substantially
adopted, a prominent railroad official
vitality interested in the traffic of that
section, pointed ont to the writer the
lmprObabiliiy of the Rock Island tax
ing the step, owing to tbs hostility It
would arouse from the Atchison and
the Missouri Pacific roads. His idea
was that the Rock Island could not
afford to incur such antagonism and he
significantly added that if the Rock Is
land should persist it would precipitate
a war before which the old tripartite
contest would sink into utter insignlf-
canoe. Well, the Rock Island will
build. That seems to be a settled fact
and its determination gives rise to some
interesting speculations in regard to
the future. The Rock Island in
less than year viii be in active COM
petition. both in southern Nebraska
