Fire Bugs.

There is every reason to believe that
a "frebug" is operating at Brandon on
the Omaha railroad. The latest work
of the iend was to burn the grain ele-
::tc.- Of the E America -Elepatar&cnm-
pany. The flames were discovered and
put out before serious damage had
been done. Once before an attempt
was made to burn the same building.
Some time ago the stores of w. j.
Jones, S. J. Erickson and Mr.. Crafts at
Brandon were burned and it is believed
that all the fires were caused by the
same person.

A Good Claim.

About a.year ago Claude J., Poss, Of
Rockville, Md, made filing on a home
stead in section IS. township 3, range
10, near Philip, and has resided on the
tract since that time. A few weeks
ago he went back to his old home
and returned with Miss Bessie Orrison
OF Washington, who made homestead
filing on a tract adjoining that held by
Poss, and within an hour afterward
became Mrs. Poss. This move gives
the young couple a half section Of
land, as the groom will be able to
make proof before it is necessary for
his wife to begin residence on her land,
and a shifting of the location of the
buildings will place their home on her
tract.

Nearly Killed.

Assault with a dangerous weapon ia
the charge which has been preferred
against Hardy Hughey, . prominent
farmer living near Humboldt. 1t is said
that had it not been for the fact that
Hughey's victim wore unusually heavy
clothing, the charge against him would
have been murder or manslaughter.
Hughey and the Teghtmeyer broth
ers had a dispute over a rented farm.
This resulted in a pitched battle be-
tween the two brothers and Hughey
and two companions. During the en-
counter Hughey struck one of the
brothers in the face with a heavy rock,
splitting the cheek bone. At this junct-
an employee of the brothers took a
hand in the battle, when Hughey is al
legged to have plunged a knife into his
abdomen. The heavy clothing worn
by Pease is believed to have saved his
life.

The most destructive fire known in
aberdeen occurred .whensthe big frame
storage and transfer warehouse Of
John Macarthur & Son burned with its

fore discovered and as the nearest hyd-
rant was five blocks away, the fremen
could do nothing.
Macarthur s Sons loss is $4,000 TO
$40, 900, and IS we'll insured. The Acc
me Harry ster company at Peoria, Ill,
loses on machinery and repairs from
$4s,oo to $50, 200. Its insurance has

founded men of FOREIGN birth have
stood in the very foremost rank OF
good citizenship, and that not merely
in one but in every field OF American
activity, While to try TO draw dis
tinction between the man whose par
ents came to this country and the man
whose ancestors came to it several gen
erations back is a mere. absurdity
Maker, or because of the birthplace
of himself or his parents, nor should
he be i'm any way Disseminated
against therefor. Each must stand on
his worth as a man and each is EMIT
led to be judged solely thereby.
There is no danger Of having too
many immigrants OF the right kind.
IT makes no difference from what
country they come. If they are sound
in body and in mind, and, above all,
if they are of good character, so that
we can rest assured that their chill
dren and grandchildren will be
worthy felloW-citizens of our children
and grandchildren, then we should
welcome them with cordial hospi-
tally.
But the citizenship of this country
should not be debased. 1t is vital
that we should keep high the stand
ard of well being among our wage
workers and therefore we should not
admit masses Of men whose STANDARDS
of living and whose personal customs
and habits are such that they tend to
the level of the American wage-work-
err; and above all we should not adj
nit any man of an unworthy type,
any man concerning whom we can say
that he will himself be bad citizen,
or that his children and grand-chil-
dren' will detract from instead of adj
ding TO the sum of the good citizen
ship Of the country. Similarly we
should take the greatest care about
naturalization. Fraudulent naturali-
cation. the naturalization of improper
persons. is a curse to our Government;
and il is the affair of every honest
vote, wherever born, TO see that 40
fraudulent voting is allowed, that no
fraud in Connection with naturalization
is permitted.
in the past year the cases of false
fraudulent and improper naturaliza-
ton OF aliens coming to the attention
Of the executive branches of the Gov
eminent have Increased TO an alarm
ing degree. Extensive sales of forged
certificates of naturalization have
been discovered, as we'll as many cases
of naturalization secured by perjury
and fraud: and in addition, instances
have accumulated showing that many
courts issue certificates Of naturaliza-
ton carelessly and upon insufficient
evidence.
Naturalization Laws should be Re-
vised.
There should be a comprehensive
revision OF the naturalization laws
The courts having power to n2turalfze
should be definitely named by nation
al authority; the testimony upon
which naturalization may be confer
red should be definitely prescribed;
publication of impending naturaliza-
ton application should be required in
advance of their hearing in court; the
form and wording of all certificates
issued should be uniform throughout

Electric Railway Asks Right of Way
on County Roads.

The company that has been organ
iZed to build an electric road from
Raleigh TO Durham and to construct
another system in Raleigh. has made
application TO the commissioners of
Wake county for the right to run their
track on the right of way of such
county roads as they may need to
construct the road. 1t is not their
idea TO use any part of the macadam
road-bed. but to build a portion of the
right of way along the county roads.
They would, if their application is
granted. use only portion of the right
OF way. because they would run a
straight line ana buy the right OF
way along a portion of the route.

The progress of the Indians toward
cIlVllizauon, thou@h not rapid, is per
maps all chat could be hoped for in
view or the circumstances. Within the
past year many tribes have shown, in
d degree greater than ever before. an
appreciation of the necessity of work.
rms changed attitude is in part due
10 the policy recently pursued of re-
duclng the amount of subsistence to
the INDIANS, and thus forcing them,
thfou9h sheer necessity, to work for
livelihood The policy though Sc
we're, is a useful one, but it is to be
exercised only with judgment and with
q run understanding of the conditions
Wnlch exist in each community for
which 1t is intended On or near the
Indian reservations there is usually
very little demand for labor and if
the Indians are to earn their living
and when work cannot be furnished
from outside( which is always prefer
able), then 1t must be furnished by
the government Practical instruc-
ton of this kind would IN a few years
result in the forming of habits of reg
uiar industry. which would render the
Indian a producer and would effect q
great reduction in the cost of his
maintenance.

one of the largest dry goods houses

He spoke vigorously of the troubles
which We're imminent from the slump
in the cotton market. In speaking Of
this, he said that the farmers should
not sell their cotton at the present
low price. but should hold it, as this
would not alone be a benefit to them,
but to the manufacturers of cotton
goods also. He said that the mills had
sold ahead at good prices, and that
with low prices for raw cotton there
would come 9 break in the market for
piece goods that would be injurious
al laround and throw things into a
greater pane. He is an advocate for
stable cotton prices as best for the
farmer; the mill man, the. wholesale
and commission houses.
