the rural schools should receive
more attention than it has in the
past. 80.

MER MA.

The Ladies of the M. f.
church are planning great things
for election day.
Merna once more has a paper
that we trust has come to stay
and may prosper in our midst.
Rev. Powers Of Green, was
over here on Sunday last and
preached in the Baptist church
morning and evening to a large
and appreciative audience.
We are all in the hands of some
kinds of grip. Mrs. Cory, Roy
Stanford and DR.. Morrow are
few IN town that are down, while
Chas. Zachary has a sick horse
and Mr.. Kaupp with others in
the country.
We are having string times
at Mearna. Last Friday evening
things were moved at a great
rate. Fortunately none of our
young men we're moved out, but
we hear that they will certainly
be moved if Friday nights per-
Torrance is repeated.
Rev. w. +. Mathews breaches
his last sermon before conference
at Merna on Sunday Sept, II, in
the morning and at Maple Grove
at 3. We understand that he
will go to Conference not only
paid up at all points but over
paid at several, as two points are
already ahead. This we think
speaks we'll for the generosity of
the members and friends as we'll
as for the efficiency of the Ste
wards.
The Nebraska Conference OF
the Nj. p. church met in this city
a short time ago. There were
present Rev's. Darby, Chase,

THE MACHINE.
An Essential Feature VI Party
Organization.

IF any one thinks a nation of
80, 000,00 can be run except
through party organization he is
mistaken" said Congressman
Cannon at the Hamilton club
Saturday night. ~ it is run in
any other way it ceases to be a
republic"
Mr.. Caunon's assertion will be
denied by those who dream that
every public official would be
virtuous aud all the people con-
tent if only the machine could be
smashed.
What is a republic 1t is a
body OF citizenship in which
majority agree upon publlc
policies with power TO carry them
out.
How shall majority be Undue
ed to agree? One way is for
citizens to get together, each
sacrificing some personal opinion
to the general aim. When that
is done party is created. 1t
chooses leaders and follows them,
not as persons, but as representa-
tives. Thus party organization
or a machine, is created.
The other way reverses this
process. Instead of seeking,
first, agreement on general
aim, it seeks a leader. 1t rallies
a majority around the mere per-
sonality of leade.
Those who advocate this meth
cd boast that they vote for the
man and not for the party.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Members Are Served with Order Restraining
Renewal OF Gas Contract
QUESTION ABOUT PAYINeSrREET ME-
Proposition to Place Names of EN-
pIoyes on the Next Appropriation
Sheet il Re-committed to
the Committee.

The temporary restraining order obtained
by Ernest STUNT. from Judge Slabaugh for
bidding the mayor and council from con-
tracing with the Omaha Gas company for
street lighting after January /, 1904. caused
only a ripple of excitement when served on
the councilmen last night. Councilman
Trostler, chairman. Of the street lighting
committee, had the proposed resolution au-
thorizing a three-year contract at the pres
ent prices tucked away In his pocket and
whether he Intended to introduce II with
a report was not known. In the face of
the injunction he said nothing.
The meeting was enlivened by a personal
debate when Chairman Hoye Of the street
improvements and viAducts committee
brought in a report concerning Comptrol-
Ter Westberg's complaint that the men en-
ployed by the Board of Public Works had
no right to work because they had not been
confirmed by the council in accordance with
the charter amendments.
Hoye Presents Report.
Hoye reported that previous to the day
the law went into effect 237 men were on
the payrolls Of the department; since that
time the force had been decreased by nifty
seven men and that no new men had been
hired. He presented a list Of names certi-
fed to by the secretary OF the Board OF
Public Works and recommended that mas
much as the men had performed labor, the
comptroller should be instructed to place
their names and remuneration in the next
appropriation ordinance,
Councilman Hascall fought the adoption
of this report, declaring that he knew men
had been employed by the board since the
kA.-.. NAA Ian Ia
beck and Zimman and Trostler took a hand
In the discussion and by a vote Of to 1T
was decided TO recommit the report. The
opinion that the men should receive their
pay was unanimous, but there was some
doubt as TO the legal way Of proceeding.
as Chairman Rosewater's continued illness
has prevented a meeting Of the Board of
Public Works and a submission of the names
and salaries of employees to the council.

property OF one of her friends and a some
what jeweled affair. Detectives Domain

their faces to the wall while Maud extri-

neve that IL was not a petit larceny. but
