many instances who persist In spinning

lotted Is distinctly understood to be eight
or ten minutes" What woman who at
tended the meeting of the Nebraska fed
Grafton. held here two years ago, has for
gotten the several long g-drawn-out pa
pers and programs which were inflicted
upon the suffering audience? There is
at least one club in Lincoln whose men,
bers say that they never get through
with their programs satisfactorily be-
cause there are so many subjects as
signed that no one woman has time
enough to present hers. Fewer subjects.

1t is getting hot in town, the cause of
the heat is the election of city officers
which will soon take place. At pre-
sent the fight seems to be about who
shall be mayor. Mr.. HERE the present
incumbent is candidate for reel ection
and has forces we'll in hand. He is an.
able man and we'll fitted for the place
he occupies; from present indications
he is ahead of the other man. About
the worst thing that is against him is
that he sent good many men to Deni-
son to board at the county's expense
during the last year. In justice it
ought to be remembered that this
was to keep law and order Most OF
our transient population were good law
abiding citizens and made us no trouble
whatever, others made the boast that
they had done as they pleased in other
towns and could do SO here They
] found they could not, as they pleased
to do wrong and there was trouble.
Fred Buck is the other candidate; he
lives out Of town and is an old soldier
we'll along in years. He has farm
draws pension, is assessor, has charge
of the school house as janitor and has
about all the honors any man can wish
and expect but his appetite is strengthen
