We noticed the above in the Repub-

Election to alteration of mind. We
knew that Br her Hubbard had been
through a saloon fight in his home
town and had recently made up" If
he had to see the five, his capacity
may have been insufficient, again he
had been mixed with the boys in blue

All of these things may have caused
his apparent narrowness in Judging
other editors who differ with him re-
garding giving Mccarthy third term.
We belong to the class of editors who
will oppose McCarthy's third term and
we cannot be charged by Mccarthy or
any one else with ever receiving
cent for supporting any candidate,
more than that, we have refused time
and again to accept pay for space in
support of a candidate. We believe
that we have the best of reasons for
opposing Mccarthy and they are not
personal. Our personal acquaintance
with the gentleman has extended over
many years and has always been OF a
cordial nature, but he has failed to
come up to our idea of a congressional
representative, he has not represented
the masses, he permitted himself to be
used by the political bosses, this COM
plant we have heard from nearly all
parts of the district as well as from
this county. Mccarthy made a mis-
take when he only deemed 1t neces-
sary to keep in touch with the so-called
bosses in the respective counties and
trust to machine methods to round up
the masses by the crack of the party
whip. The time has gone by when two
or three men in this or any other coun-
ty can carry the vote Of the county in
their vest pocket and deliver it to
Tom, Dick or Harry. Mccarthy had
become such plant tool of political
bossism that he permitted the machine
politicians to dictate and control his
every action. Even on his periodical
trips through the district to view his
political fences he did not attempt to
gather public sentiment or to consult
any but two or three political ringsters
in each town. The man who repre-
sents this district should be broad
enough and possess brains enough to
be congressman. The only thing
that his most ardent supporters claim
for him, that he has acquired the title
of r. F.. d. Mccarthy. If that is all
that he has to show for the $4,000
that he received as salary from the
people, it is high time that the people
make another choice.

II is announced from Washington
as probability that congress at Its
next session will turn seriously to con
sldcration of utilizing the great rivers
Of the country as means of transpor-

that they probe the matter to the very

JUNCTION ITEMS.

For the past week the round house
has been the home of four ten-wheel-
ers, which are used to pull the heavy
freight trains between here and Mis-
souri, Valley. The largest of the quar-
tet weights 1872 tons and carries a
1900 gallon water tank. The tank
looks as if it might be an iron box

Considerable work has been done
on the Junction streets the past few

of the Washington school house. The

been filled and drain pipes have been
laid from there east across First

Norfolk people, and those of north
ern Nebraska generally, may rest as
sured that this section of the country
is not in any way affected by the al
legged conditions which are reported
to have been found in Chicago pack
ing houses. In the first place, the
meat markets of this territory which
use packing house goods, get their
meats shipped from the Omaha pack
ing plants instead Of Chicago, and it
is said that the South Omaha insttu-
tions have been found to be thorough,
ly clean. In the second place, many
of the meat men of northern Nebraska
slaughter their own beeves, this be-
ing the very heart of the finest stock
raising country in the world. In the
home slaughtering we know that these
conditions do not exist. Once again
northern Nebraska is good place to
live in.

NICHOLS BREAKS JAIL
YOUNG MAN BOUND OVER TO
DISTRICT COURT ESCAPES.
DIGS THROUGH SIDE OF WALL
With an Iron Rod He Succeeds In Re-
moving Eight Bricks and CrawIs
Out to Liberty-Attempted an AS
sauIt on Little Cripple Girl.
From THURSDAYS Daily

TFrom Thursdays Daily.l
Roy Nichols dug himself out OF jail
last night and will not go to Madison
this morning in custody Of an officer,
to be tried before the district court on
the charge of attempting an assault
upon the little lame girl of Louis
Schenzel. After taking the matter un-
der consideration over night, Judge
Eiseley, before whom the trial was
held, decided to bind the young man
over to the district court and fixed the
amount of his bond at $500.
Being without friends in town, he
concluded that it might be easier to
dig out of the city Jail than to per-
spire in the county Jail all summer
and then be sent to the penitentiary-
In some manner the young man be-
came possessed with an end gate rod
of a wagon box, and after the adjourn
ment of the firemen's meeting in the
city hall above he went to work to
chisel his way through the brick wall
to liberty. In the course of time he
succeeded in removing eight bricks
and making hole large enough for
him to crawl through. 1t is supposed
that he left the Jail about o'clock
this morning.
Another prisoner, a booze-fghter,
warned the young man that he had
better not attempt to get away, for it
would be worse for him when he was
caught, as he most surely would be-
Instead of needing the warning, he
told the other prisoner that he was
going to try it anyway, and that if the
other man wanted to go out he would
make the hole bigger for him. With
his iron rod he succeeded in inducing
the booze man to keep still so that his
work was not interrupted.
Young Nichols is described as a
man II years old, five feet five or six
inches tall of dark complexion, black
hair worn quite long when last seen.
He weighed about 125 pounds, wore
a dark suit, black slouch hat and poor
shoes, with heels worn off. The police
are making an effort to apprehend
him, and no doubt they will be sue
cessful.

A Norfolk florist spent more than
800 in trying to prosecute a case in
court in which he charged a young
woman with stealing a bunch Of flow
ers which he admitted to be worth
not more than 25 cents. At first
glance 1t looks as though the game
were not worth the candle, and that
the expenditure of more than 20 in
the case was useless waste of mon
ey. But Norfolk fower.growers will
reap the benefit Of the prosecution,
even though 1t developed paught in
this particular instance. AS a result
of the charges made by this florist,
two young men have been found gull
ty in court and have been fined by the
Judge, though in each case they were
assessed minimum fines. And the re-
suit will be far reaching upon future
flower gardens. Flower thieves in
Norfolk, who have created such con.
sternation for several years by tear
ing to pieces all Of the pretty gardens
in the town, will work bit more eau
tiously in the future, lest they suffer
the same fate and the same undesir-
able notoriety that was given to these.
1t has been demonstrated that it is
possible to fine such law-breakers. and
it has been found that at least one
man has the back bone to prosecute
the matter. 1t is hoped that all flower.
gardeners in the future will be on
the alert and be equally energetic in
prosecuting such violations of the law.

he could to stop the force of the i'm
pact. In the time that he had to con.

save the lives of people in the train

The United States geological sur
vey has issued the following bulletin,
which shows at least one lesson as a
result Of the earthquake in San Fran
cisco, in regard to building materials:
II argument were needed to show the
advisability Of an investigation Of
structural materials it Is more than
supplied by the recent earthquake In
California. What buildings best stood
the shock is a question Of very great
practical interest. Why they endured
when others fell is food for thought
to builders all over the country. In
this connection 1t is interesting to
note that the Appraisers building in
San Francisco, where the United
States geological survey maintains a
local office, is one of the few business
structures in that city which was un.
injured either by shock or flame. Mr..
Charles G. Yale, special agent of the
survey reports that little plaster has
fallen but that the building is prob
ably the only one in the city that
shows not a single crack in its brick
walls. This may be due to the fact
that the foundation consists of six,
foot bed of solid cement placed upon
thousands of piles and that the bricks
are put together with cement instead
of mortar. The walls are thicker be,
low the sidewalks than above them
When the building moves, it moves
as monolith, and while the vibration
is considerable, no damage has been
done except to the plaster. That the
geological survey might with profit
to the country undertake the investiga
tion of structural materials is attested
by the numerous requests which it re
ceives for information on the subject
Twice during the past year the survey
was visited by a body of engineers
