and Iangze Pass. The two places
are twenty-siN miles apart. but the

si1ions. The thermometer registered
over no degrees Fahrenheit and the
soldiers suffered cruelty from heat

ously
Both. attacks were begun at dawn

OBiTU AIRY.

Louisa A. Job was born March
2nd, 1880 in Ray county, Mo.
Died March 9, 1904, at home in
Moody Valley, north east of
Westerville, Nebraska, aged "a
years and 7 days.
She was married to Wilson B..
Moody in Rock Island county,
Illinois, February II, 1S47.
Their first move from their old
home in Ills, was to Missouri,
from there to Iowa, and in the
spring of 1882, they moved to
Custer county where they have
lived until her death.
There were born to them
children, 5 boys and three girls.
7 of whom survive her, one girl
died in infancy in Illinois.
She united with the u. b.
church in 1882 in Illinois, but
owing to the fact that the church
of her choice had no organization
in her neighborhood she retaine 4
her membership in the church
she first united with and lived a
consistent christian life. She
leaves to mourn her loss her hus-
band and Z children. She was :
faithful wife, a loving mother,
a good neighbor and a true
friend. The funeral was conduct
ed by the Rev. w. h. Mattox
who preached a short sermon il
the Westerville church from the
text found in the II Psalm, the
last clause of the last verse, 81
shall be satisfied when ! awake
with thy likeness. The remains
were then taken to the Wester
vile Cemetery, followed by ;
large concourse of relatives ant
friends.

hands down in their pockets
again to pay it back.
It will cost little more doubt
less to bond for the amount need
ed, but it will be worth a great
deal more to have the building
to use while paying for it, be-
sides a $4,000 brick building
would add very much to the APP
pearance of the city as compared
with the old rookery now used
for city hall.
Had the proposition been to
vote five mill levy to fix up the
Public Park so as to make it
more of credit to the city it
would have been a capital idea.
A thousand dollars properly used
would put the park in very de-
sireable shape and make it pro-
perty of which the city might
we'll feel proud. One levy would
do it and as soon as the levy was
made the money would be avail
able.

IMPORTANT TRUTHS
Antitrust Laws Altogether the Work
or Republicans.

l. The antitrust law was
framed by a republican, was
passed by republican house and
a republican senate, was signed
by republican president.
2. The law remained dead
| letter on the statute books dur
ing the entire second term of
Grover Cleveland, a democratic
president. Through those four
years of democratic administra-
tion all appeals and all efforts OF
the World to have the law en-
forced were met with sneers, jeers
and open contempt from a demo-
cratic attorney general, Richard
Olney, who pretended that the
law was unconstitutional, and
who would do nothing toward
prosecuting violators of it.
3. The first effort to enforce
the law was made by Theodore
Roosevelt, a republican president.
The first attorney general to
vigorously prosecute offenders
and to test the law was a republi-
can attorney general, Philander
c. Knox.
4. The decision of the SUI
preme court of the United States,
given as a finality from which
there is no appeal, upholding the
law as perfectly constitutional
and absolutely impregnable in
every respect, as the World for
twelve years constantly insisted,
was due to five judges, every one
of whom is republican.
S. The dissenting minority OF
the court included every demo.
cratic judge of that tribunal; to.
wit: Chief Justice Fuller of II.
linois, Mr.. Justice White OF
Louisiana and Mr.. Justice Peck
ham of New York. All these
distinguished democrats not only
voted against the constitutions
atty of the law, but denounced
it as danger to the republic.
6. Under these circumstances
it does not seem probable that
the democrats can make great
capital in seeking to monopolize
the antitrust issue and charging
the republican party with the
crime of being owned body and
soul by the trusts.
1t is just as we'll to record some
plain truths, however unpleasant
or surprising.-New York World,

The Lincoln Daily Star is making it
possible for any boy in Nebraska to be
the owner of handsome American
watch. The watches are open face, stem
wind and stem set, and are guaranteed
by the makers to be good time keepers.
Many boys throughout the state have
already secured one of the watches, and
they are invariably we'll pleased.
Fred Robinson, Tekamah, writes us
AZ follows: ~ am very much pleased
with the watch got. 1t keeps very
good time. Thank you" A. M. Inner,
Holdredge, writes after getting his watch
as follows;
~ think it is good little watch you
sent me" We could give the names OF
many more Nebraska boys who have
secured the watches and are more than
| pleased.
Any boy in Nebraska who will write
to us, we will tell him how he may OBJ
tain one of these watches. We do moi
ask you to send us money for them
You can do as we'll as the other boys who
have already obtained their watches.
Write us postal card or letter now
asking for particulars.

The City Hall.

At the Citizens Caucus a reso-
luton was passed asking that the
question of making a five mill
levy to build city hall be sub
mitted to vote at the city cleo
ton.
The REPUBLICAN is one among
many of the city that would like
to see city hall built that would
be credit to the city in years to
come and one that would accom-
modate the public. Such a
building should cost not less than
$4,000. While it is true that a
S mill levy would not burden any
one it is equally true that a fund
thus created would not be suf-
ticient for at least ten years to
serve the purpose for which it is
intended. A five mill levy would
create a fund of about 81, 900 an
nually. Such a building as the
city should have would cost not
less than $4,000. Ten years
would be long time to do with
out city hall to say nothing of
the taxpayers having their money
tied up so long a period without
getting any returns,on it.
A less expensive building could
be built in a shorter period, but
with a little more expense a good
building could be provided al
once and the public would have
the use of the building as they
pay in their money.
A few years ago we invested
in an experiment of the same
kind by authorizing a levy of
mills annually to accumulate ;
fund to put in an electric ligh
plant. The levy has regularly
been made and the tax payer,
have paid in over 81, 900, but W,
have no electric light plant
That is not all, if we are correct
ly informed, about 81, 700 of tina
sum has been appropriated by
the mayor and council to tn,
payment of warrants on the gen
eral fund. 1t has only been Dor
rowed, but if replaced the sam,
tax payers will have to put thei

If true. greenbacks can not be
taxed it is time that greenbacks
were retired. Greenbacks held
by an individual or corporation
represents wealth. 1t is not lust
that few may just prior to
April first convert their bank ac-
counts into greenback currency
and thus escape from taxation
while their more unfortunate
citizen who is not able to make
the exchange of his property is
compelled to pay his share of the
expense of running the govern.
ment. The cause for which
greenbacks were exempt from
taxation has long since ceased tc
exist and that law of exemption
should be repealed or the green,

national notes substituted in
their stead.

published a clause FROM the

The unusually large collection
of delinquent taxes the past year
has not only enabled the board
to meet the expense but has given
a surplus of $442.61. AS that
item of receipts will be lacking
this year from the same basis of
assessment there would be a de-
felt of $544. If the valuation
under the new revenue law in
creases the assessment as is con-
templated the IS mill levy will
doubtless more than equal the
expense and give surplus to APP
ply on the floating indebtedness.

The question of license or no
license is again before the voters
of Broken Bow to settle for the
ensuing year. While there are
two tickets in the field, one re-
presenting anti-licence and the
other license, the question is not
different from former elections.
The anti-license resolutions

governed on that question by the
majority vote. That means
should the anti-license nominees
be elected and the majority be
in favor of license the only alter
