Death of Mrs. j. II. Perone.

Another dark cloud of sorrow
settled down upon Logan last Sat-
urday in the death of Mrs. j. H.
Perone. She had not been sick
long and the shock came all the
more severe. She leaves q babe
three weeks old, and two other
small children in the care of a lone
and broken hearted husband. Mr..
Perone has the deepest sympathy
of our people. His wife was an
excellent woman, loved by all who
knew her.

comes to speaking the word. Such
a thing as running for Office is fruit
for him. That's easy compared
to what he has done. The
other day he positively skinned
AL Hyson block, talking horse.
And, dear reader, just bear in
mind who AL Hyson is, and what
he knows about horses. The on
ly way AL could get to talk at all
was to threaten jess that he would
not vote for him. Well, Jess will
not get quite all the vote in Logan,
he will get an awful bunch of

John G. Petit is the Democra
tic nominee for City Clerk. John
Petit is an energetic young law
yer and has lots of friends in Lo.
gan. The coming improvements
will require a careful clerk and
one that knows how to make legal
records, that injunctions can not
vanquish and athwart our pro.
posed paving. You will make nc
mistake in electing Petit to the
office of Clerk.
The Democratic candidates for
Member of the Board of Trustees
of Public Affairs are Paul Fox,
H. Lutz and VIM. Waner. Mr..
Fox is at present member Of the
Water Works Trustee and also is
Henry LUZ. They have made
careful officers and built up the
! works to a high standard. Mr..
Waner is life long stone and
brick contractor who will make an
excellent Trustee. There are some
heavy improvements to be made
in the future and these men are
well qualified for the duty.
For Councilmen George Gage,
j. N. Slater, John Moriarty,
George Benadum, P. d. Sloan and
Ed. Angle. We believe these men
are all for the building up and
beautifying of our town, and will
make careful councilmen.
For Assessors, Ferd Magic in
the First Ward and Frank Weis
in the Fourth. These boys will
be elected. In the Third and
Second Wards the Democrats
seemed to be satisfied with the
Republican nominees and put up
no opposition. That is neighbor-
ly.

The Democratic Nominees.

We ask the voters of Logan tt
carefully consider the personality
of the Democratic candidates fol-
municipal offices.
For Mayor we have re-nominat
ed the present mayor, John F
Krieg. 1t would indeed be very
strange if he gets every vote in
Logan, and he will be satisfied
with majority. We believe he
deserves every vote in Logan. He
has been careful, consistant an6
efficient mayor. If he had pleased
everybody he would be most re,

ness, and then some saints kick
because he does not stop the hyd.
rants on Sunday because the wat
er is muddy and looks like beer.
They can all chew the cloth as they
please, but John Krieg has tried
to do his duty as mayor and treat
everybody according to his con-
science, and that will be his aim
in the future. He was elected for
two years and has served but one.
The work that he started out to
do is but half done. He was pre-
sent at the inception of our pro-
prosed improvements and has those
matters in hand and can be of
great service to their completion.
You would not make a mistake to
vote for Mayor Krieg.
For Marshal John Mathiott,
well, what shall we say of old
"Hooligan" without lying. He
has served one year as night police
man, and the people have put him
on the hot griddle, and Topped
him over and Drowned him on the

Ashamed Of II.


The Editor of this paper was
talking to an Athens county man
a short time ago, and he was
boasting about the nice pixies
Athens county had, and that it
was the making of their county,
and that the taxes were hardly
changed by the improvement. He
said Hooking County was back
woods and ought to wake up.
We happened to know that this
same individual and prominent
citizen fought against piking
Athens county when the PROPOSE
tion was up, and now he is the
first to brag about the pixies. We
said to him, cit is very nice of you
to boast of pixies now, but if
majority of the voters in your
county had been like you, you
would have no pixies to boast Of"
He admitted that he knew not
what he was doing at the time and
that he is now heartily in favor of
building more, and ashamed that
he ever protested against it. He
said he would give $4,000 now if
he had only been for pixies when
the proposition was up. That he
is heavy tax payer, and had
scarcely felt the difference in his
taxes. That the pixies had en-
HANGED the value of his lands 25%
and opened q market for his pro-
duce.
Another instance that is true
and the old fellow is now ashamed
of himself. In Perry county when
the proposition for new court
house came up, a certain prominent
farmer fought it. The wide awake
people won, and the $3.50, 900 court
house was built. About five years
after the court house was com
pleted the old fellow came in one
day to pay his taxes. He remark
ed to the Treasurer how fine the
court house is, and said he was
proud of it. Then he asked the
Treasurer when they would COM
mence paying on the bonds. The
Treasurer told him that he had
been paying on them for five years,
and the old fellow said he never
noticed the difference, and was as
hamed of himself for being against
the improvement.
Last Saturday week ago,
farmer 4 miles out of Logan prom
ised to bring hotel man 12 dozen
of eggs and some butter. He came
to town horse back with the butter.
but said he could not drive over
the roads and could not bring the
eggs; that he had 20 dozen, and
was feeding them to the hogs.
The. hotel man said he would be
glad to get them at 20 cents per
dozen. There was $4.OO the

A man hauling gas-pipe near Rock,
bridge yesterday got his team in
mud hole in the road and both
horses were buried to their bodies,
and one has died from the struggle
and the other ruined. The man
will sue the township or county
for $4,000 damage. This will

About Pixies

We have endeavored to honestly
and fairly answer every objection
that has come up to pixies and now
here is another. We learn that
some persons who are not acquaint-
| cd with the facts, have said that
some townships would not get any
pixies and few would get them
all, if pixies are voted in. Now
such persons should investigate
what they are saying before they
| get their hammers out.'
The facts are that the law fixes
that matter, and says that each
township MUST have as much pike
in proportion to the amount of
taxes paid by such township. I'm
der this law each township shall
receive not less than the following
proportionment if necessary:
Benton 5 miles, Falls and Gore
80 miles, Green IL miles, Good
Hope s miles, Laurel 5 miles.
Marion z miles, Perry miles,
Salt Creek 6 miles, Starr 10 miles,
Ward 20 miles, Washington 7
miles.
Now Falls and Ward is in the
course of reason could not have
use for 80 and 20 miles of pike,
and the money surplus from these
townships will be used to raise the
mileage of townships of less tax
duplicates. 1t is safe to say that
the main thoroughfares of each
township will be we'll piked under
this law.
Now as to who will locate pixies
and where will they be placed.
This is as near in the hands of the
people as any proposition could
be.
The law prescribes that when
pixies are proposed and are about
to be built in a county, that the
county commissioners shall appoint
a board of three road viewers or
road commissioners, who together
with the engineer and his assist
ants shall locate roads to be piked
and the plans and plats thereof,
and report back to the county com
nissioners, who accept or reject
the proposition, and advertise for
bids for the building of such pro-
posed road.
Now who will be the road-view4
'rsH 1t is reasonable to aver that
hat if the West gets together and
elects good man from among
themselves In whom they have
nuch confidence, and petition the
,ounty Commissioners to have him
laced on that board, that he will
e there. The East side Of the
Ounty do the same and the center.
nd you have the board, named by
ourselves, to locate your roads for
ou. What better could be asked?
So much for that argument +

roads. And so it goes. There are
no end to the facts in favor Of
road improvement.
The pike proposition is going to
carry and we hope every man will
help it along, or forever hold his
boast when the pixies are built and
enjoyed by him. T.

Ottawa Wants a Dam.

Ottawa, Kan, Oct. 5-Plans are be-
ing made for the construction of a new
dam across the Marais des Cygnes
river at this point. and the installation
of a plant to develop electricity from
water power. Electrical power would
be transmitted to local manufacturing
plants. Thirty years ago q dam was
built at the city's expense to supply
power to a Touring mill A decrease in
the volume of water made the dam use
less for this purpose. and it has grad
ually been torn away by the foods. 1t
is believed that with modern machinery
the river can be made TO furnish
enough power to run several dynamos.
The city will be asked to aid in the con-
struction of the dam for the benefit of

sweeping around the Dakotans' right
end. Eager was tucked safely in be-
hind and twice he ran over 40 wards
for touchdowns. The Dakotans bucked
Nebraska's freshman line with rather
poor success. Their longest gain was
six yards, while the total of their gain,
including returned punts, was only SIS
yards
Nebraska's gains totaIed $50 yards.
The Cornhuskers confined themselves
chiefly to running the ends. and the
northerners' weak right wing repeated
ly yielded long gains. Nebraska suf-
fered severely on the score of penal
ties. infractions for holding or offside
plays costing the Cornhuskers 40 yards.
The heat was oppressive and short

Orchards Between Leaven worth and
Riley Suffer

Leavenworth, Oct 5.-When the war
department decided to march the troops
from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Riley
instead of giving them train, it pro-
baby figured that marching would cost
less. but if stories that come from diff
ferent places along the line of march are
true, train would have been consider
ably cheaper.
A farmer and fruit grower near Eas-
ton. where the United States engineers
camped recently after their first days
journey en- route to Fort Riley, claims
that the soldiers foraged upon his apple
orchard and carried off more than
hundred bushels There~*ere several
h1ndred soldiers and they allied their
hayersaclxs. Many trees were complete
~ stripped of fruit. Other farmers along
the route Of march claim they lost heav-
lily by the soldiers and a large number
of claims have been sent to the war de-
partment. The Leavenwgrth county man
who lost his crop of apples, may not be
satisfied with a money consideration. He
may have the soldiers arrested on the
charge Of larceny.
Farmers between LeS1enworth and
Fort Riley, who had fruit and other
products carried off blythe engineers,
are said to have prepared for the Sixth
infantry, which left Fort LeaVenworth
for Fort Riley yesterday. Soldiers of the
Sixth who get hungry for apples are IL
able to get few loads of buckshot
thrown in.

Police Court Receipts Heavy.

Lea1 enworth, Kas, Oct 5.-The po-
lice court receipts in Jeavenworth last
month amounted to nearly $1,000, the
largest collection in the history of the
city With the exception of a few hun
dred dollars. the amount was collected
from gambling houses, policy shops,
saloons and houses of an immoral ma
ture The two policy shops alone pay
81 300 month into the city treasury
This is said to be the heaviest
license assessed against an evil in a
town of 10000 inhabitants or less in the
United States. Regular gambling
houses pay 5000 month. and saloons
pay according to their location. While
it is illegal to accept this money, it
keeps the city's debts well paid up.
