in most foroesble. convincing and
able manner, and held the undivid-

evening was greatly added too by a
solo, My Faith in Thee" sang by
one of the sopranos of the choir,
Miss Sallie Chambers, in charm

highly appreciated by the entire
aggregation.
Rev Bird announced that We'd

/ hear stories, young man, to
the effect that you are failing to
pay your debts. You have bor-
rowed half dollar each from
several of the boys and have for
gotten to give it back. You also
owe a restaurant or two and are
making no effort to make it right.
The amount you owe is small, but
it will grow. Perhaps you do not
know it, but l want to say that
you are storing up the poorest
asset in your career. For a
couple of dollars you are barter
ing away what may be your fu-

prostitutes it, he will always be

Not a Hard Problem.

O'NeiIl Independent.
The Columbus Telegram gives
the following problem in finance
to Nebraska boys: IF in time of
admitted prosperity the state of
Nebraska runs into debt nearly
$3.50, 5000 in one year, how long
will it require the republican re-
deemers to put Nebraska in the
bankrupt column"
You may think this picture a lit
tie overdrawn, but peep at Audi
tor Searle's report for the year 1905
will convince you of the need of
having the young boys and the old
ones as we'll, to do little figuring
along this line. You will remem-
Der that the republicans promised
faithfully to wipe out the obnox-
ious state debt if the voters would
give them the power to do so. You
gave them the power, both in all
the state Offices and the legisla-
ture, and they have had six years
in which to work. The result is
that they have showed you farther
into debt each year. The report
shows the state to be in debt more
than two and half million dollars.
This is the way they have repaid
your confidence. The voters OF
this state have gone through the
same experience twice and the rail
roads are framing up to do it again
