This is harmony at too great cost.
Some OF those charges may be true.
If they are we all want to know I'LL
they are not true, they should be dis

drastic action Is taken, and the sooner

people directly concerned now believe

demand an investigation. Lets have

The scarcity of water this season
for irrigating purposes should certain
ly cause the leading men of the yari-
GUS settlements in this county to re-
fleet as TO the future. Nature has
not only provided water, but also
suitable places where IL can be stor-
cd for an emergency such has been ex-
perienced this present year. The
cost OF constructing reservoirs would
be small compared to the bene-
fits derived. The money lost this
year from the shortage OF crops would
build many reservoirs. When built
properly they would last for century,
and II the water thus stored was
needed IL would be there to draw
from. To illustrate this more fully
take the water ditch that has been
layed out and partially built through
Mount Sterling to Wellsville. II that
ditch was well filed with water, what
an increase OF crops there would be on
that stretch Of country in the south.
Without cXaggeration, these enter
prlses would pay for themselves, and
the farmers throughout the county
would be relieved of the anxiety for
water. This matter is worthy of the
earnest consideration Of those who are
in position TO direct the efforts and
labors Of the people in the various
commonwealths throughout the coun.

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

Doesn't it seem little peculiar
that the United States government
licenses the greatest, the most far
reaching evil of mouern times? The
government does not license any other
evil thing, in fact legislates against
thousands of lesser evils. yet the
greatest of all, the liquor traffic, it
makes legitimate from the standpoint
of the law.
Individual cities and towns license
houses of ill.fame, but the govern
ment does not d. So
These same cities license gambling
halls, pool rooms where men bet on
horses, dives Of any and every descrip-
ton, yet the government does not
license such things.
The bad influence of these places is
Insignificant compared withthe havoc
wrought in the lives of drinkers and
their homes, yet the government IL
censes this greater evil and frowns on
the others.
The government will not permit lot
teries to run in this country, and who
will say that such schemes touch one
sixteenth the number Of people or do
one thousandth part The harm that
the liquor traffic does? The govern
ment Is apparently after the rlghting
OF all difficulties except the greatest
one.
But the government gets great
revenue from the liquor tratlic. Towns

Some Queer Doctrine.
Ministers at hyde Park Set Forth
Peculiar Doctrine to Citizens.

HYDE PARK, Aug. 1.-THE three
ministers mentioned in former let
ter have been holding meetings night
ly, upon our old meeting house
grounds. Large crowds have attend
ed their services and listened to their
interpretations of the scriptures, 1t
is TO be regretted that some Of our
young people haven't had self respect
and good manners enough to keep
them from disturbing their meetings
by loud talking and laughing. They
have been quite annoyed in this way.
However much we may disagree with
their theology, we should give them a
respectful hearing. Some OF the
doctrines enuncated by them are as
follows: death was not brought
about by Adams transgressions;
Christ did not atone for it, but for
our sins; God the Father, Jesus Christ
and the Holy Ghost, are one person.
age, spirit is not substance; baptism
is not for remission of sins, and Is not
essential TO salvation; good works
are not condition to salvation; we
will not have the bodies we now pos
sess in the resurrection; believe in
Christ and we shall be saved" Mr..
Nutting also stated that The church
and state are one in Utah"
The alfalfa seed crop will be light
here this year, the cause of it being Q
small bug, and grasshoppers. The
blighted beets seem TO be growing
some now, where they have plenty OF
water The chinch bugs are not so
numerous.
The building boom which struck
our town five years ago still continues
George Kirby is now erecting nice
little dwelling Of several rooms which
will be credit to the town wher
completed. Hancey & Sons are the
builders.
Our farmers have gathered in theil
second crop OF alfalfa, and the wheat
Is about all cut and in the stack
The hum of the thresher can be hearC
now every day.

and cities get great revenue from IL
uuor hOuScs-tnere'S the rub. Yet
neither takes into account the fact
that the result Of the liquor traffic
causes the expenditure Of fifty times
the revenue from the manufacture OF
liquor. From a business standpoint
the licensing of the liquor traffic is a
losing proposition of such magnitude
that it can hardly be computed.
The jails, penitentiaries, aims
houses, police forces, made necessary
more by the liquor traffic than all 9TH
or influences combined, tell a tale OF
expenditure almost beyond conception.
The government not only licenses
the traffic but defeats the desire OF
the people for which 1t is supposed TO
exist. The writer knows Of towns where
by petition all saloons had been driven
out, yet the day following the proprl-
etors had opened under government
license which Is but S25 a year. The
only difference was that under the
government license the dealer was
supposed to sell nothing less than a
quart. Great encouragement this,
from the government.
The REPUBLICAN cannot understand
the disposition of the man who cares
TO engage in the sale Of liquor
yet has no word of censure for him
personally. Nor have we aught but a
kindly sympathy for that man who
can not, will not leave the accursed
stuff alone, but we do say that the
business of selling liquor has less ex'
cuse for existence than any evil. 1t
is never good, it is always harmful.
1t should not be licensed in Logan
nor any other city on the globe.
The business has few defenders
among those engaged in 1t, and most
of the patrons condemn it. That the
business remains, a blot on present
day civilization, is only because the
public does not stop to count the cost

Attorney w. p Thomas has just returned
from an extended eastern trip. He swung
clear around the circle, taking in Boston,
New York, Washington and many other
eastern cities.
Talk about royal times and seeing
things" said he. Il could not tell all the

and when he beheld the green fields OF
Iowa, and later Nebraska, and last the

President r. w Breckenridge OF the Me-

practically been decided to hold the an
nual meeting some time In November In
stead OF January, as has been the rule.
Mr. Breckenridge has secured the promise
OF George r. Peck Of Chicago and Fred
w Lehman Of st. Louis TO be present
and deliver addresses. Mr.. Peck is known
as one of the greatest railroad lawyers In
the country, being general counsel for the
Milwhukee lines. Mr.. Lehman Is also a
lawyer Of high standing In his profession
and IL besides very brilliant orator.
II am making these announcements thus
early" said Mr.. Breckenridge, so that
an interest will be aroused among the
lawyers OF the state that will result in a
large attendance to hear thesev distin-
guished lawyers and orators. Their ad-
dresses will no doubt be we'll worth the
trip, even from the farthest town In the
state, TO hear them. 1t is thought that the

c. W. Kellogg. attorney for c. ID. But
terheld OF Missouri Valley, appeared be-
fore the board and presented a claim Of
81 200 for land taken by the Harrison-Pot-
tawattamie drainage ditch. The claim was
made that Butterfeld had no notice of the
proposed ditch being put through his land,
whereby about fifteen acres are appropria-
ted, and hence he could not file a claim in
time for the board meeting.
The claim was referred to County At
torney Haas, who shortly thereafter re-
ported recommending the rejection OF the
claim on the ground that sufficient formal
notice had been given by publication and
that the claimant had slept on his rights
The report and recommendation OF
County Attorney Haas was adopted and
the Butterfield claim disallowed.
Under the drainage law a committee con.
sisting of two commissioners and a con-
sulting engineer must be appointed by the

SEARS TAKES HIS VACATION
Goes Home to Rest, Taking with
Him Confederation of the
Gathers Case.

Judge Sears was not holding court Thurs
day, being at his home in Tekamah for a
rkst. He has not yet reached a decision
IN the case of Gathers against the city
oficials, and probably will not for some
time. 1t is recalled that when the case
was argued on demurrers before going to
trial the court reserved decision for some
time, and there are lawyers who say they
do not look for a decision in the case be-
fore the fall term.
Judge Sears has now In hand for con-
sideration several quite important and in
volved cases, and as he has been having a
hard grind since the court recess began. he
is expected to take 1t rather easy for the
next month.

Cunid In. HIS Why.

Arthur Kackley and Martha Calvert of
Princeville, ILL.,, were married Wednesday
evening by Rev. o. o. Smith of this city.
There is a little romance connected with
the nuptial event in the fact that the bride
and groom, who are of mature years, are
first cousins. The Illinois laws prohibit
the marriage OF persons of that close rela-
tionship 30 the twain went TO Lincoln,
Neb, where they sought license to marry
Wednesday morning. There they learned
that there was a similar inhibition against
the marriage OF first cousins, and so they
journeyed back to Council Bluffs, where
the law relative to Dan Cupids caprices
are less rigid The license was obtained
about o'clock Wednesday evening and the
marriage took place at the First Congre-
gational parsonage very shortly thereafter.
Mr.. and Mrs Kackley were guests at the
| Grand hotel until Thursday morning, when
they departed for their Illinois home as
| man and wife regardless of the rigidity OF
Illinois and Nebraska MARTA! laws.
