Hes, Oner Ever Made.

The REPUBLICAN has succeeded in
getting a special clubbing price from the
publishers of the Nebraska Farmer, one
of the best they have ever made, and
during the past two months good many
have taken advantage of this offer and
are we'll pleased with it. We have had
the time extended for this offer, believing
that many more would like To take adj
vantage OF il before it is withdrawn, For
Sl,3S we can send you the Nebraska
Farmer and REPUBLICAN both for one
full year, and worth $2.oo. The Ne
braska Farmer is the leading general
farm and live stock journal of the west
II prints from ID TO 90 pages each week
is we'll known and we'll liked, having
been established since 1869. Its pub
fishers are practical and experienced
men, who are now and have been for
thirty years extensively engaged in farm
ing and stock raising in Nebraska and
conditions applicable to the west. 1t is
a journal for the farmers by farmers.
No other farm paper can fill its place or
be so helpful to the farmers of the west.
1t is contributed to by all the leading
agricultural writers and experiments of
the west and at our special club price
should be taken by everyone. 43tf

Not u Candidate,

There seems to he some mis-
understanding in the vicinity
with some III the matter of Miss
kay's attitude in regard to the
Broken Bow schools. The facts
are she had notified the school
board prior to the meeting that
She would not be candidate for
reelection as she had decided on
taking normal course next
year. For that reason her name
was not considered by the board
in its canvass for teachers the
ensuing year.

Passed Away.

Last Tuesday morning at 9
o'clock, John ID. Plat, died at
the home of Judge Benjamine's
in this city, of Brights disease,
age OF or % years.
The deceased was a grand son
of the Senior Platt for which the
town of Plattsburg, New York,
was named. He was man that
had little to say and we know
but little of his family history.
He had been married and has
four children but he did not seem
to care or know about them. In
the past nine months he had been
under the care of Mrs. J. S. Benz
famine, OF this city having been
brought here from Within an by
direction of his guardian, At
torney Smith of that place. His
afiliction resulting in his death
dated back for four years or more
For number of years he has
been west associated with the
cattla ranches as employer or
or owner. AT one time he had
an interest in a ranch in the sand
hills north west. We understand
he was in the employ of Haskells
ranch for some time. The only
relative that has shown interest
in his welfare since his sickness
is sister Mrs. B. +. Felt of
Chicago, who has paid all his
expenses for nursing, board, doc
tor, etc, including a lot in the
cemetery and burial expenses.
The best nursing and medical at
tention was given since he has
been at the home of Judge Ben
famine but he continued to grow
weaker until in spasim he pass
ed away Tuesday of last week.
His remains were laid to rest
Wednesday in the Broken Bow
Cemetery, Undertaken Woods
having the funeral in charge.

The Billiard Halls Still Run,


The billiard hall license matter
has assumed new aspect. The
attorneys for the proprietors of
the billiard tables have out gen.
eraled the city authorities thus
far in the game. Last week they
secured an injunction against the
mayor and marshal preventing
them from closing the billiard
halls or arresting the prOprietors
for violation of the ordinance.
The case was set down for trial
June 10. AS the injunction was
secured in chambers we have not
been appfised wether the injunc-
ton was based on defects of the
ordinance or on constitutional
grounds. At any rate the billiard
halls are at the bat and are well
fortified for. some time yet to
come.

Attention
Farmers:

Why remain in the North and
stay i'll doors six months in the
year consuming what you raise
during the other six months?
Go South where you can work
out doors every month i'll the
year, and where you are produc-
ing something the year round.
If you are a stock raiser you
know your stock are now eat
ing their heads off" and, be
sides, have to be protected from
the rigors OF winter by eXpen-
sive shelter. Cost of production
determines place of production,
and Alabama and Florida can
produce beef and sheep cheaper
than any other state, and must
become the center OF a great in
dustry already begun. Econ
omical stock feeding requires
the combination of both flesh
forming and fat-lorming foods
IN certain proportions. Ala
bama and Florida contain mil
lions of acres of untitled
cheap range, and these lands
when cultivated produce in
abundance the velvet bean and
cassava, the first a flesh pro
Queer, and the latter ii fat pro
ducer, and they are the cheap
est and best lattening materials
known To the world. If YOU
are,interested and desire further
information on the subject,

mate degree. their own interests. The! have their ideas as they have a right to have. and they have their plans which seem best in their own wisdom : But. taking even the extreme of tht case. it is absurd to think for a min ute that their purpose involves eithel obstruction or destruction.
 If they want their share in the grea prosperity about which so much ha! been said. who can blame them?
 There may be criticisms as to theil ways of getting it. but this seems tc be an age of appropriation on the par both of the individual and the corpora tion. and if laber can obtain a larger share of the profits it is only what the monopolies would take if they had the unrestricted opportunity. It is very important in all this tha, both sides should keep in good humor Cheerfulness will help the most diff
 cult situation. When people grow angry not only is. their work fo less value. but it places a larger burden upon everybody
 Labor Day ought to help the general good feeling. The existence of the Day is in itself a tribute to the ad vancement of labor. We used to lim- it all our holidays 10 the saints. Now we take few for ourselves. We have George Washington Day for our politics. We have a Pyrotechnic Day for our independence. We have a Flower Day for our memorials t1 the dead. We have a Turkey Day for Thanksgiving. We have local history days in every commonw edith We have Christmas and New Years Day-and a lot of others.
 But the one day that best represents he modern spirit is that devoted 70 'abor. It is the impressive sign to humanity of the position tha: labor has won-won by hard fighting and uncomfortable insistence.
 And 1t is celebrated in a way that caves no doubt about it's purpose. The parades are to show the strength of labor in its increasing totals. The music adds its inspiration, and the speeches bring out the new thoughts that animate and stimulate the ranks.
 Perhaps it is sweet to die for ones country. as the old writer and patriot said; but it is better to live and work for 1t. That is what these men do and if occasion should arice when the country needed defense. they would be round as ready for the battle-cry as they will be ready for the whistle the morning after Labor Lay and it's hap. py comminglings are over.

sistant secretary and his two friends to the west. but the probable mission which concerns this port is the result of the trip of Special Agent F. E. Johnson to the city of E Paso.
 It is stated that the report of Special Agent Johnson was of such a nature regarding the smelter investigation and the cattle importations matter. that the machinery of the entire de- partment has been placed at work to ascertain why certain thngs are al- leged to exist in this neck of the woods.
 While of course, it is not to be ex- pected that Assistant Secretary Arm- strong will ever drop . hint that he Is here to look into such matters, yet 1t is the supposition expressed in many quarters that Such .. mission h not the farthest from his thoughts.

Reported Visit Of New York Customs

 Ripple of Excitement.
 Some news reached the collectors oh1ce today which in itself had but little significance, yet, taking it in connection with concurrent happen ings of the last few weeks in the cus- toms house, was fraught with uneasi- ness to some of the employees.
 It was that Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Robert Armstrong, in company with the collector of the port of New York. Mir. Stranahan, and the assistant United States treasurer. MT. Gordon, of the game port, were eu route to the Pacific coast would prob ably stop at E Paso either going to or returning from the west.
 The nominal visit of the mission is said to be . junketsng tour of the e.
