Go After Them Risht.

Two lightning rod agents dropped
down in Osborne county one day last
week and secured several contracts
for rodding houses in Delhi township,
amounting to about $500. Ever,
thing worked well until some people
examining the contracts found that
they were little different than they
expected. Then they began to tele-
phone around the neighborhood to
see if they could find the grafters.
They finally located them at Jasper
Rogers and he entertained them un-
til they gathered their forces and
dropped down on them, when they
were mighty glad to surrender their
contracts and leave for parts unknown
on short otices-Lincoln Republican.

Bridge Removal.

The plllng OF the Arkansas river
bridge at Ellinwood has been ordered
replaced by the commissioners, and
we understand has been contracted
for. This has opened up question
which was agitated some fifteen years
ago by those living on the south side
of the river, and today three petitions
containing the names of sixty farmers
on the south side of the river were
presented to the county clerk, asking
the commissioners to change the loca-
ton of the bridge to the half section
line. which runs due south from the
main street of Ellinwood. During
dry weather this crossing or ford, is
used by nearly all those who come in
to Ellinwood from the south. The
reasons set forth for the change are
as follows:
First-A large majority of the peo-
pie concerned will be greatly benefit
ted thereby.
Second-A bridge so located would
considerably shorten the distance for
farmers living south and southeast of
Fllinwood to travel in going to and
returning from said city, while it
would not make any greater distance
for very large majority of those liv-
ing southwest of said city.
Third-The road leading to the
bridge so located could be kept in
much better condition and at consid-
erably less expense than the road
leading to the bridge in its present
location.
Fourth-The removal of the bridge
to the proposed location was agitated
more than fifteen years ago, and at
that time an expert bridge builder
advised that such removal could be
made when new piles were needed, at
small additional expense.
We believe the petition to be a
proper one, and that it should be
granted. We understand that there
are only two farmers, Jacob Thule and
G. Ernsting, who would be adversely
affected by the same. Every other
person would not have to travel one
foot further to- get to Ellinwood,
while where the bridge now is causes
a majority of the people living in east
Commanche to travel an extra mile to
get to ElIinwood when the ford is i'm.
passable. The bridge can be moved
all right, and the road workincidental
to keeping up the road to and from
| the bridge would be only a trifle as
compared with the present. The
move would benefit a vast majority
of the people affected. and we think
| it should be made.

the number of licenses and druggists
permits in each county. of the state.
1t gives the number in Barton county
as As licenses and three permits. If
this is an indication of the correct
