OBJECT TO SMILES
REFUSE TO FACE CROWD AT
THE LICENSE OFFICE
Side Remarks and Knowing Winks Of
the Curious Compel cupid's
Victims to Seek Necessary
Documents Elsewhere

Rather than face the group of clerks,
pensioners and attorneys who crowded
the marriage license office yesterday,
ten couples refused to apply for
licenses, stating that they would Sc
cure certificate outside of the county
rather than be looked at by those who
lined the marriage license counter.
AS result, movement has been
started to have special room at the
court house for the reception of young
couples matrimonally inclined.
"A neat, coZy room, where the young
people can come in and secure their
license and then depart without being
stared and smiled at by every lounger
who happens to- be in the room at the
time, would be just the thing" said a
court house official yesterday.
You see, when a young man wants
a marriage license. he generally feels
that his girl is the only woman on earth
and that if he wishes he may look into
her eyes and smile in alteration every
five minutes by the clock

when he visits the present license Of
flee, but it is rather disconcerting to
look around after having smiled thusly
at your girl to find about thirty people
SlNllB you smile tldt is anything Dut
pleasant
But the actions of the young people
yesterday spoke plainly of what they
thought of the proceeding. Yesterday
was one of the last days for the pen
sioners and there were probably fifty
of them in the license office during the
day. Each was accompanied by two
witnesses, so that the room was well
filled. In addition, there were a num-
Der of attorneys engaged in filing
articles of Incorporation; number of
abstract clerks copying records; sew
eral foreigners taking out papers of
naturalization and about a score of Of
ficers, clerks and stenographers.
Several couples forced their way to
the license desk and were finally given
the necessary document when the
clerks could spare time to attend to
them. But many young women of more
tinid disposition refused to make a
public exhibition and be stared and

S Cents a Pound.

Quick Action Hog Pasture
Mixture. There is always call
for mixture of forage plants to
make early pasture for hogs,
something that can be used by
the middle of may, and will make
pile of green feed till new corn
comes in. | can prepare a nix
ture specially for this purpose
and know you will be pleased
with the results from it. The
basis of it is field peas, barley
and oats. To this is added other
forage plants such as rape, cane
pincillaria, turnups, sweet corn
and other quick growing crops.
Altogether it makes a succotosh
mixture that hogs will thrive on
amazingly. I vary the mixture
with the season, and for late in
summer use cow peas and soy
beans instead of field peas.

"Mr. Mcconnell, who is one of
the most logical and forceful
speakers ever heard in Lexington,
possessing a magnificent voice
and soft pleasing southern ac-
cent, made a favorable impression
from the first. The address was
replete with witty and amusing
illustrations and remarks which
at times convulsed his hearers
with merriment, but left them
with ''somethin' stickin' to

night Mr.. Mcconnell spoke on
the moral law-what it is; its
operations; why it is binding on
all men. 1t was mastery pre-
sentation of somewhat difficult
subject. The speaker is an adept
at making the most difficult prob
lens very plain. Dawson

Another Candidate for Governor.

George L. Rouse, of Hall
County, Nebraska, announces
himself a candidate for governor
subject to the action of the re-
publican state convention. Mr..
Rouse is farmer and stockman
of Hall county. He is one of the
early settlers of Hall county and
is one of its mostly highly re-
spected citizens. He was honor
ed with the position of speaker
of the House in the last session
of the Legislature, which position
he filled with credit.
The REPUBLICAN is pleased tc
see such ment as Messers Rouse,
Wall and Mortesen prominently
mentioned as candidates from
the central west Nebraska fcr
the Office of governor. 1t begins
to look as we are to have a gov
ernor and United States Senntor
from western Nebraska.

City Caucus.

By an over sight the matter of
city caucus has not been pub
lished until this week, which
makes the time of notice short.
But it is ample as the chairman
of the committee informs us that
he will have the call published in
all three of the city papers. AS
there is to be but one caucus
every citizen should plan to at
tend and assist in selecting the
best possible candidates for the
several positions.

Will Sure PLAY Ball.

A goodly number of citizens
and baseball enthusiasts met al
the band room and perfected ar
organization for the season OF
1906 by electing George f. Bray,
manager; Fred Hays, director and
Walt George, treasurer.
Under Manager Bray last year
all expenses incurred were fully
paid and several accounts left
over from the preceding year
and all felt that at the end OF
this season the club will be able
to jingle few "plunks" in its
jeans pocket and likewise ban
quet.
Several citizens spoke in favor
of vigorously pushing the matter
and congregating an aggregation
that will put up an article OF
ball that is the real thing and
enthusiastically pledged hearty
support.
Manager Bray says he feels
more encouraged to take charge
of the matter than he did last
year and he will at once begin to
shake the hopper and sift out
some good ball tossers.
Every citizen should assist and
encourage the formation of the
club and Broken Bow will clean
up the whole diamond in this
part of the state.

The question of an early and
late state convention is a matter
that is just now being generally
discussed throughout the state.
AS there is no special reason why
there should be an early conven.
tion this year we hope to see a
late convention. The last oil
August or first of September will
give time to make the campaign
and we see no reason why a short
campaign will not be better fol
all concerned,

The Alliance Times of the 2nd

The Alliance Times of the End
says:
"Citizens of Ravenna we're con-
siderably concerned Thursday
morning over the final order of a
series from Burlington officials
stopping all work in the way of
improvement to Burlington pro-
perty there. Work was stopped
a few days before on the founda-
ton for the new roundhouse, and
the last was an order TO discon-
tinue the grading for the new
side tracks that had been ordered. "
Just what will be the policy of
the Burlington in the future in
reference to the division station
at Ravenna, is only a matter Of
conjecture. Should a branch be
extended from Carlo to the Sar-
gent branch and that branch ex-
tended to Cunning as is generally
believed will be done it would
indicate that the division would
be changed to Dunning. But 1t
is just possible that as Broken
Bow is nearer an equal distance
between Aurora and Seneca that
it may yet get the division.
Should not the division come tc
Broken Bow the town will not be
effected by the discontinuance OF
the Ravenna division as the
traffic through the territory is OF
such magnitude that should a
branch connect the Sargent
branch at Carlo and Dunning, il
would not divert any of the traffic
from the main line as it is a
shorter route to Dunning than
the branch line would be by
several miles.

and many other diseases are
traced to unhealthy months, and
that even with dyspepsia relief
can many times be secured
through the kindly skill of the
dentist. There seems to be
great deal of common sense
in this diagnosis and the work
of the dentist is very importatant

Government Land in Demand

Notwithstanding the claim of
the large stock owners in the
northwest or sand hills country
that the sand hills are not worth
homesteading, homesteads are
being filed at greater rate than
they have any time since the
Kinkaid homestead bill, provid-
ing for $40 acre homesteads went
into effect.
While there is much of the
land in question that has but lit
tie valve now, there is but little
question but what much of it
when put in cultivation by seed
ing it to alfalfa and broome grass
will be valuable in time to come.
There is scarcely section but
has some valley land on it that
can he utilized from the start for
farming and hay.
Should the proposed lease bill
be passed by Congress it will
have the effect to retard settle
ment and individual ownership.
Twenty-Five years ago the
large cattlemen used their utmost
endeavors to discourage home
steaders in Custer county, claim
ing the land was only fit for
grazing. A long and bitter
contention prevailed for several
years before the home
steader gained the ascendency-
several murders resulted. Where
there were then few large herds
of cattle now there are hundreds
of smaller herds and prosperous
farmers and stock raisers occupy
nearly every section of land in
the county.
What has proven true in Custer
county will prove true IN the en-
tire sand hill country in the next
twenty years.
The proof that the sand hill
country is desirable is established
by the following figures taker
from the filings in the Broker
Bow U. S. Land Office in the
past three years;
