The City's Population.

Believing that the population OF Alex
andria is not correctly given in the last
u. S. census report, Mr.. NJ. B. Harlo",
president of the Business Mems League
requested Mr.. w. L. Richmond, the
publisher of the Alexandria Directory,
Just issued, to make an estimate of the
city's population. Mr. Richmond com,
piled with the request, and says: 81
have gone over the Alexandria Direct
DRY very carefully, and find that using
81 as a multiplier, the population OF
Alexandria, New Alexandria, st. Elmo,
Del Ray, Braddock Heights and West
End is 2O,O51. This, | believe, is as
close an estimate as can be made, and l
think you are safe in claiming over

Not True.

An untrue report is being cir
culated by some malicious person
or persons that the Custer Dram
attic Stock Co. has disbanded.
Just why anyone should be mean
enough to bring their little ham
mer into requisition against this
organization, is hard to say, as
it tries to treat all fairly and
gives an honest production. The
company is very much alive and
any reports to the contrary are
false. Not only that, but we are
now actively engaged on a new
and popular play that will be
produced in the near future.

Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1904-12-15

The REPUBLICAN notes there
are several candidates for pres
ident pro tenn of the senate as
we'll as for speaker of the house.
Among the candidates for presi-
dent of the senate are NJ. L.
Fries of Arcadia, and Judge
Wall of Loup City. Either
would make good presiding Of
ticers, and it would please the
REPUBLICAN to see either of them
land the prize. Possibly the
most important position on leg
islation this winter will be in the
speaker of the house. A bill
along the line of temperance leg
islation will be one of the i'm
portant issues, and those who be.
lieve there is need of further leg
islation along that line will dc

for speaker stand on that issue

The NJ. II. A. Growing.

AT a special meeting Of the M.
b. A. lodge last Friday night,
thirteen candidates were initial
ed into the MYSTERIES of the or
der, as result of the work of
Deputy Guthrie, who has been
here several weeks working in
the interest of the lodge. He
has written over forty applica-
tions since he has been here and
expects to write fifty or more be-
fore the holidays. He will leave
then for Wyoming, where he has
been given district deputyship.
Parties who contemplate taking
out Insurance would do we'll to
look him up before he leaves and
secure a policy in the M. B. A.
before the first of January, as
advantages are offered now in
that order that will not prevail
after that date. The M. B. A.
lodge of this place is one of the
largest in the city. From pres
ent prospects its membership will
reach 200 by the first of January.
1t has been the banner lodge of
the order in the state for several
years until the past six months,
and is striving to hold that posi-
ton again, with fair prospects of
winning. 1t is on the graded
assessment plan and its member
ship is composed of both men
and women, who stand on an
equality in all of its benefits. 1t
carries both life and accidental
insurance in one policy and has
a reserve fund to guarantee the
assessments not to exceed twelve
