vERDIGRIs EXTENSION WORK
General Manager of EIkhOFn Says
New Line wuI soon Be
Finished.

General Manager Bidwell Of the Fremont,
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley has Just re-
turned from a trip through Boyd county.
Nebraska. where the new Verdigris ex-
tension Of the Elkhorn is being built. He
is highly pleased with the progress of the
new construction which has encountered so
many Obstacles. Tracks are laid to within
nineteen miles Of the terminus OF the new
road, which will be two and a half miles
beyond Bonesteel. This brings 1t up four
miles and a half the other side OF Spen-
Ger. About one and one-quarter miles are
being laid a day and the work will be COM
pleted and the road In operation by De-
eembeT II no unusual distractions present
themselves. Trains are now running from
Verdigris TO Lynch.
Mr.. Bidwell says but for the rainy
weather the construction would nave been
almost II not entirely completed now. Bad
weather made the men irregular and often
when favorable weather came men had
left the works and operations were. there
fore, delayed. An adequate force Of men
is nov at work and 1t is believed no fur.
ther trouble Of this kind will be expert
enced.

MURPHY AND MORSE RETURN
Secretary Says Sale of Street Rail-

Through.

Frank Murphy and W. v. Morse are back
from the east. After dealing with the New
York parties who are expected to buy the
stock Of the street railway company they
spent some time at other points, Mr.. Morse
in Massachusetts and Mr.. Murphy in the
west.
Mr.. Morse said: ''The newspapers have
told all there is to tell of the pending sale.
The deal will so through. but at this time
we desire little or no publicity. I do not
him that the change Of stockholders
which may take place will make any change
in the officers for some time at least. Six
months from now you will probably find
Mr.. Murphy still president and Mr.. Smith
and myself at the desks we now occupy.
The people at large have got a rather
magnihed idea Of the change, and while 1t
will be a good thing for Omaha and for the
company, l do not think there will be any
revolution. We are not In a position to
say anything about the time the deal win
be completed, but l do not think that there
is any doubt that It will go through sub
stantially upon the lines at first contem-
plated"
Mr.. Murphy did not come down to his
once until late in the afternoon.

PRAISES FORT CROOK MEN
Headquarters Omcer speaks In COM
Plirnentary Terms Of the
soldiers.

Fort Crook soldiers have established
themselves very firmly In the regard Of
the officers at army headquarters by their
actions during the progress Of the maneuver
division at Fort Riley and Just previously.
The men OF the Twenty-second are now
vending their slow way homeward from
Fort Riley by foot and when they reach
their own post they will have put more
than 500 miles under foot during the last
two months or less.
Captain Reeves. aide-de-camp to Major
General Bates. is generous in his praise
Of this command. said he:
THAT is a hrst-class regimen of
soldiers. II wasn't long ago that they
marched to the rifle range at the Win
nebago Indian agency. a distance Of eighty
three miles, and then they walked back
again. After a very short time spent at
routine duties about the post they were
started OF to. Fort Riley, 1917 miles more.
! was there the day they came in. just
finishing the last lap. as Il we're, Of that
long tramp, yet every man was behaving
like a soldier. anks we're closed up, tbs
command was in all respects up to regula-
lions and the men we're doing better than
three miles an hour in good, brisk shape.
This regiment also acted particularly
well during the maneuvers. The Fort
Crook men seemed to enter into the spirit
Of the thing with an unusually good nerve
and energy. They we're noticeable all the
way through for soldierly conduct. Fri
day they started back to Fort Croob
again, still walking. They will not hurry
but will get in probably by October 20 OF
sooner. That is 1877 miles more and, count
ing their daily tramping during the con-
tinuance OF the maneuver division, they
will have marched considerably more than
900 miles since they started for the rife
ranOa

N ON THE ROAD WORKERS
County Board Decides to Allow Each
Only $3.50 Per Year
Hereafter.

Hereafter county road supervisors are to
receive no more than $3.50 per year. This
much was decided at yesterdays meet
ing OF the Board of County Commissioners,
the members Of that body having observed
that although the supervisors are supposed
to draw only $3.50. some of them have al
ready this year drawn as high as $500 for
road and bridge work. The resolution just
adopted will make the $3.50 limit absolute
instead Of suggestive.

$1,000, and out OF thai 81 900 she received
only $500. Her angry voice rose to the

pletely Frustrated. Some friends of the be-

French department Of the Woman's clul

thought that she had contemplated self
destruction fer general days. On thet da'
she notified the secretary that she would no
be able to attend the Monday meeting, bu
that she desired a manual sent her. Z"
would suggest she said, that you get
new leader for the French department, a
something might happen that would proven
me from keeping up the work" 1t was be
lieved at the time that Mrs. Haubens mean
her health would not permit Of her con
tinuing the work.

Unwarranted Howl.

Editor The STAR IL noticed In a
recent issue OF the Volunteer, under
heading Of Flotsam," great tale OF
woe concerning the Summerville Tele-
phone Company, and the editor Of
| Volunteer does not endorse or con.
demn ," IL. have been trying to figure
out who the author OF the aforemention-
ed article is and also the subject, but
have given II up. Would not even
undertake to make guess as TO the sex
OF the author, as part OF IL sounds quite
male-like and other parts Of II sounds
quite feminine. He or she does not
state whether they are paying patron
Of the Summerville Telephone Com
pany, or whether IL is one of those
cases where the company entertain
angels unawares, which Is quite fre-
quently the case with the telephone
company. Why he or she would make
such an unwarranted attack on the
telephone service without first report
ing to the company officials, appears
very unjust to the writer Of this article.
The Summerville Telephone Company
is owned and operated altogether by
home capital and the dividends are paid
out 70 our neighbors, and the company
gives service equal to any other tele-
phone service have ever used, which
has been considerable.
One word to kicker that made the
attack on the telephone company. II
he or she can yell as loud as they can
kick hard, I am surprised that they
should need telephone to talk fifteen
miles. They can holler down the pike
and be heard easily. Now II this chronic
kicker will come out and let the COM
pany know just who they are, and II
they cannot possibly use the service as
1t now is, the company will probably
petition the government to suspend all
manner OF business % pertain stated
times to give the or " chance
to talk, or the company may send to
Arabia and get one OF Alladin's wonder
ful lamps so he or she can hold 1t in one
hand and wish and the other towns will
come to kicker"
Hoping this article will meet the ap-
proval of the party of the first part, l
remain yours,

Street Paving.

One OF the important questions for
this borough to consider in 1903 will be
street paving, and it is very likely that
this proposition will figure conspicuous
ly in the spring election. II the street
cars run down Main street, which we
understand Is the intention now, we
don't believe the matter can be delayed
after they begin work on street car
line, then why not get things in shape
now so 1t will not take all summer TO
get the paving done ? Even II the
street car line does not go down Main
street, the street should he paved next
year anyhow. In fact we hardly see
how II can be postponed any longer.
The old plank paving is worn out In
many places, and can hardly be re-
paired, and something must be done.
VIII Main street be paved with brick
In 1903?
