OBITUARY RECORD

The Superior (NebA Express of
March II contains the following obit-
uary.. of interest to the older resi-
dents of This city:
Mrs. Elizabeth Il. Eggleston was
born in Keysville. y. ". Feb. p. 1888,
and died in Superior. Neb.. Friday
morning. March II. 1902. aged 90
years and Is days. She was married
To Elisha II. Eggleston at Essex. y.
Y, on August 20. 1886, and one year
later came west. In 1878 Mr.. Eggles-
ton died at Rock Island. ILL., and in
1889 she came to Superior. where she
has since resided. Mrs. EggleSton
was one of the true examples Of a
christian character. having become
a member of the Methodist church
when IA mere girl. There were no
children from the Snion of herself
and husband. but she was most
tender and loving mother To her niece
and nephew who now survive her,
Mrs. Lizzie NJ. Salisbury and Frank
Southland. During the latter days of
her life Mrs. Eggleston was in feeble
health, yet bore her trials with forti-
tude and patience. She was ever
ready to respond to the call of Il
nei%hhor in sorrow or distress. She
neither thought nor spoke i'll of any
one, but cherished and lived as near
as mortal could live the teachings OF
Christ i'm daily life. The funeral oc-
occurred Sunday at o'clock
Rev. Brown preaching the sermon.
Much sympathy is extended the be
reaved relatives in their hour of sor-
row

POLLING BIG VOTE.
City-Township Election Calling
Forth Best Efforts of
All Concerned.
ADMINISTRATION FORCES AT WORK
Uptown Saloon Keeps Open in Face
of Law Until Neighbors
Complain.

The city-township election is ON to-
fday and the usual activity reigns in
all parts of the city. The interest
centers on the aldermanic fights and
of course is less marked in the
Seventh ward than in the others ow-
ing to the lack of any opposition to
Aid. y. q. Anderson, who is candi-
date for reelection.
All available carriages were mus
tered into service from the time of
opening the polls in the morning and
the early vote was unusually heavy.
indicating that few legal voters will
neglect to record their preference
before > this afternoon when the polls
close.
The various elements that have
been contributing to the furtherance
Of the interests of the republican
candidates since their nomination
are strongly i'm evidence. The efforts
of the police are mainly confined to
keeping the Fourth ward jointists all
solidly in line for G. Washington Nc
Casllrin and are eXerting some influ-
cnce as well for the party's favorites
in the adjoining wards as well.
Saloon Defies Law.
In one instance Il Sixth ward saloon
opened up for business as usual this
morning i'm spite of the law and CON
tinucd to- dispense the argumentative
amber to the uncOnvinced till neigh
boTa complained to- the police de
partment and compelled respect for
the appearance of things at least. So
much more for the conditions pre-
vailing under the present municipal
administrat ton. The morning Union
announced that the mayor had or
dered all violators arrested and dealt
with according TO law. But no ar
rests have been made in the case of
this joint-one of the most motor
iOus in the city-probably because
it was keeping open in the interest
of the cause of one of the republican
candidates in that ward.
As to the Outcome.
While of course il is impossible to
forecast the story that Will he told
when the counting of the ballots has
been completed. the democrats have
reason 10 believe that their fight has
not been waged in vain and that they
will make a showing commensurate
with the wOrthiness of their cause.

well, I don't know that I have any
preference. 1 notice that LaFollete Of
Wisconsin won quite a victory for the
Crawford system the other day and your
paper has sometimes seemed to favor 1t.
But then The Bee skips around onto so
many sides Of a question that there is
nothing assured by that"
"If the Crawford system at all, would
1t be plurality or majority for selection? ?"
The Minnesota law makes 1t plurality
and the Wisconsin recommendation makes
1t plurality, but while l confess that there
are some things about the system that
strike me favorably, l am not prepared to
speak advisedly on any of 1t yet. Indeed,
I've been too busy to pay any attention
to politics. I am through now and home

Next to the sunlight of heaven is a
cheerful face. There is no mistaking
it. The bright eye, the unclouded brow.
the sunny smile-all tell Of that which
dwells within. Who has not felt its
electrifying influence? One glance at
this face lifts us out of the mists and
shadows into the beautiful realms Of
hope. One cheerful face in the house,
hold will keep everything warm and
light within. 1t may be a very plain
face, but there is something In 1t we
feel yet cannot express, and its CHEEKY
smile sends the blood dancing through
our veins for very Joy. All, there Is a
