BIDwELL MAY BE PROMOTED
Rumor That He May Become
President Of Omaha Road

Manager Bidwell of the
Northwestern has gone to st.
Paul to attend the funeral of
the late President Scott of the
Omaha. Mr.. Scott was we'll
known among railroad men,
and had many personal friends
among them in this city, but
aside from that, he had but few
personal acquaintance here,
since he had never resided
here, and his visits here had
been brief.
1t is rumored that Mr.. Bid
we'll will succeed to the presi-
dency of the Omaha. Such was
the line of promotion fol-
lowed by Horace G. Burt when
he left the position of general
manager of the Elkhorn. Now
that the Elkhorn has been
turned into the Northwestern
proper, it is believed that the
Northwestern management will
take the opportunity to advance
Mr.. Bidwell, and abolish his
position of manager" now
held here with the Northwest
crn.
The work of retrenchment
here is proceeding, the latest
change being the removal of
Car Accountant Pardee's office
to Chicago. 1t took a force of
five clerks. World Herald.

by WOcdbine Authorities
The pronounced ambition, on
the part of several of Wood
bine's citizens to indulge in the
coup that makes the meekest
mortal anxious to whoop
things up" has started a row of
no small proportions between
the Woodbine authorities and
the Illinois Central company.
A few days ago several sus-
picious looking boxes arrived at
the Illinois Central freight de-
pot in Woodbine, addressed to
various citizens of that COM
munity. Hearing of the con-
signment the Woodbine author
tiles instituted an investigation
that finally resulted in the con-
6scation of the whole shipment.
The boxes are now locked up
and the city mayor has the key.
The case will come up for a
hearing Tuesday, March 10th.

The Atlantic Telegraph says:

During the year 1902, Cass
county paid to jurors in the dis
trict court the sum of $2,2S4.
1t would be interesting to know
how much was paid into the
clerks office for jury fees. The
clerk is permitted to assess as
cost in a civil case a minimum
fee for jurors but the sum all
| told will make but a small inn
preston on the figure paid out
by the tax payers in this single
item of expense. Six jurors in
stead of twelve would not cost
so much by half. One cannot
study the reports of the county
Officers, which are to be made
public this year for the first
time, without arriving at the
conviction that there are many
things provided for by law
which are utterly useless. There
are many expenses which could
be saved if the laws could be re-
vised without prejudice or adj
herence to foolish precedent
Considerable trouble is being
eXperiencedby real estate agent
in closing up deals made during
the year, with a final settlement
to be had March LIST. We have
heard of several parties who
have been unable to complete
their agreements, thus throw
ing up deals, and in some in
stances where one man fails
there is a whole chain of sales
depending on his, the parties
who sold out generally buying
again depending on getting
their own money to complete
purchase of another property.
When the bottom fell out of the
real estate boom last summer it
was to be expected that some
thing of this kind would happen.
Ten years experience in the real
estate business has convinced
the writer that a real estate deal
is never fully and safely COM
pleted until the money has been
paid over and the deed passed.
-Woodbine Chronicle.
Attorney General Mullan last
week rendered an opinion in re-
Spouse to an inquiry as to the
manner of levying road taxes
under the new law which will
be of state wide interest, in view
of the many inquiries in regard
to the manner of making the
change from the old to the new.
He holds that at the next NEE
ting of the township trustees,
the first week in April of this
year, it is their duty to make
two levies of road taxes, one for
the year 1903 and one. for for
the year 1904, the former to be
collected this year in the man
ner followed in the past and the
other to be collected next year
in the manner provided by the
new law. This is because the
change is from paying the taxes
by working the roads" to cash
payment, the cash payment plan
necessitating collections a year
in advance. Hampton Globe.

EVIDENCES are multiplying that
the people of this country and their
Representative in Congress are be-
coming aroused to the Importance
and necessity of some proceeding to
curb the rapacity and greed of all
sorts of trusts aud monopolies. Pub
lie officials are becoming bold in their
denunciation of combinations and
conspiracies TO wrest ,extortionate
prices from the people for the neces-
stiles of life. The meat combine has
been roundly denounced by Assistant
Secretary bingham, who alleges
that the price of meat is being kept
at much higher rate than is war
ranted by the supply Of live beef cat
tie, upon which the price has been
largely reduced. Congress is investi-
eating an alleged conspiracy to keep
up prices of coal, and bills haye been
introduced for the purpose of con-
trolling other combinations. The
President and Congress are said to be
in accord in an earnest purpose to ap-
ply all legal means to deal with such
organizations. They realize that the
growth OF these combinations and
their exactions upon the people are
fast creating a public sentiment that
in the end will deal with them with
out law, unless legal means can be
found to correct the enormous and
increasing abuses under which the
people are made to suffer. Difficulty,
however, must be encountered in all
government efforts in that direction,
on account of the limited and restrict
ed powers OF the General Government.
A constitutional amendment to en-
large those powers in the direction
indicated is badly needed, and, we
believe, offers the only solution of a
very perplexing and dangerous prob
lem.

Here is something from an exchange
which contains more truth than poe
try. sit was a sad misfortune to this
government when the old fashion
mothers, who welded the shingle and
slipper, ceased to do business at the
old stand. Young America is becom-
ing more reckless and less account
with each succeeding generation. No
boy ever amounted to anything who
wasn't blessed with an old fashioned
mother. While the mothers of today
are perhaps as good as the mothers
of 80 or 40 years ago, they haven't the
same control over the children the
old fashion mothers did. The mother
of to-day uses the CAD less and says,
"I'll tell your pa" more than their
grandmothers did. More's the pity.
The old saying, "spare the rod and
spoil the child' is not SO much of a
by-word as it used to be, and the con-
sequence is readily seen,
