ALTHOUGH it has been but a little
over a week since the launching of
County Clerk E. j. Wilcox's campaign
for secretary of state it must be very
highly gratifying to him and his friends
to note the strength he has already
gained in his quest. Voluntary offers of
support have been coming to him daily
from various sections of the state, and
the present indications are that he will
enter the state convention in Lincoln
with a most gratifying following not
only from Southwestern Nebraska,
where he is popularity known, but from
different parts of Nebraska, where
friends are enthusiastic in his support.
And Southwestern Nebraska has the
reputation of getting what she goes
after in the state convention.

RUSSIA WILL SEND

AND TAKE CHANCES.
Movement of Troops Toward Afghan
Frontier In Anticipation Of
England's Action.

London, Dec. 6-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Daily Mail pub
fishes an interview with Admiral Kaz-
nakoff, who states that, after dec.
laration to that effect, the Russian
Black Sea feet will pass the Oar
danelles, confronting Great Britain
with an accomplished fact. The ad-
miral points out that strong reasons
exist for the belief that the British
government will do nothing in the
matter.
Reports received from Moscow rela-
tive to a sudden movement of troops
toward the Afghan frontier seem to
bear out the belief that Russia will
send her Black Sea feet through the
Dardanelles and take her chances
about the consequences. 1t is stated
upon good authority that an entire
division of Russian troops has left the
Caucasus for the frontier and the only
explanation for this move is offered
by the fact that the question of the
passage of the fleet has entered the
acute stage.

hospital, instead of building a new

of Mayor Fleishman said tonight:
January last patients were packed
in the dining room, hall and nurses
room, of the present structure. In one
ward there were men, women and
children, all exposed and using the
same accommodations.
There has been children crowded
in one ward having measles, whooping
cough and diphtheria, without isola-
tion, and they have gone from one dis
ease into another before they got out
If they lived.
Many Of them died. This year there
are only IA more beds than patients.
In the present hospital, patients are
crowded more like cattle than sick
human beings. You can crowd a thou
sand patients there If you want to,
but you have no right to make a sar-
dine box out of the city hospital"

ROBBED
Of More Than Hundred
Dollars Worth Of
Merchandise
MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR

The West End Notion Store was
robbed either Saturday night or Sun
day morning. One hundred and forty
seven dollars and seventy-five cents
worth of merchandise was stolen. The
robber or robbers have not as yet
been captured, but a clue to his or
their identity is in the possession Of
Officer Mortensen who was sent to in
vestigate the offense Sunday morning,
the time that the company became
aware of the loss and notified police
headquarters.
The robbery is a mysterious one
and was kept quiet by the police ac-
quainted with the case until the No

fair into the publicity that the know

shrouded from, in order to facilitate
their efforts in landing the perpe.

secreted himself in the store until
after the closing time on Saturday
night. This is the more plausible idea

seems hardly improbable, that some
person connected with the store re-
manned until the others had departed
and then took the merchandise or
else let the offender in.
Every door of the establishment is
protected by heavy bolts. To gain
entrance neither the front door nor
any of the others were tampered with.
The offender made his exit from the
door leading into the hall of the
Moser block where the store is To-
Gated. Exit was made by throwing
the heavy bolt out of it's place.
officer Mortensen Investigated the
robbery at about IL o'clock Sunday
morning. A suspicious character was

week. so the officer learned from the
janitor of the building, who lives
above the store, but whose duties call
him down into the cellar Sseveral
times during the night. On ono of his
trips this man was seen. The fellow
took to his heels Immediately.
The jewelry department of the store
was the only section depradized. Low

their price follow: One dozen gold

Harter's court. Nicholas Magmacco
was on trial for striking and cutting
John Cincinnati in a saloon row. The
accused wanted to plead guilty to as

at the close of court. Two or three
witnesses testified that they had heard
Magmacco tell the priest that he had
done the cutting. This the prisoner

the reverend gentleman's testimony. 1t
will be concluded today.
