The Grove verdict was commented on by
nearly every man he met and the impress

accountable. The demand for Kansas state

such an extent that already it has be-

one of market. Mr.. Sunderland bought
enough brick to supply the Omaha de-

Card from old CitiEens.

Mr.. Editor: AS a taxpayer, l desire to
state through the columns OF your valuable
paper my position in regard to councilmen.
1 see in the public print that this club
endorses this one and that club that one,
and so on, almost as many different en-
dorsements as there are candidates, but so
far have not seen of the taxpayersA en-
dorsing anybody. Now it seems to me
that the taxpayers should get together and
endorse someone for the city council, and
to start the ball rolling 1 will endorse John
Yirak as a safe. conservative, honorable,
honest, conscientious gentleman, one who
is and has been a taxpayer himself and
knows how 1t Is. / recommend to all tax
payers that they not only endorse John
Yirak as councilman for the Tenth ward.
but get out and work for him heartily un-
til the primaries are over. and then go to
the polls and elect him.
If any voter wishes to know more of Mr..
Yirak, / will be pleased to furnish the in
formation, as have known John for many
years, and am confident that you cannot
get better man for the city council, and
If you get as good an one for mayor, the
taxpayers will have no cause for complaint
