REGISTRATION YESTERDAY.

Messrs. Wylie and Wallace of the
registration board, were in their Office
yesterday, and they had the busiest day
they have had for quite a while; but
were probably not so busy as they
would have been had 1t been known
that they would not claim the Legal
holiday.
During the day they issued sixteen
new certificates and seven renewals
The new certificates were distributed
among the various precincts as fol-
lows: Piedmont, 2; Bethany, 2: Blairs-
Vile, 6; Newport, l; York, 4; Sha-
ron, /.
The renewals were scattered about
over the county.
There are quite a large number OF
people throughout the county-white
men-who are entitled to register, but
who have not yet done SO. These peo-
pie should be on hand on registration
day in October-the first Monday from
8 to o'clock.

this will be true of all similar efforts

AS to whether there is room in York
vile" for two such papers as The En-
auirer is a matter of very little concern
to the publishers Of this paper or to
those who are satisfied with 1t. The
people who want another paper, do not
care whether there will be room for
The Enquirer or not, and they ask no
more odds of The Enquirer than The
Enquirer asks Of them.
or course, as to how competition, or
more properly speaking, opposition, al
fects The Enquirer, Is another matter.
It takes off some subscribers, and also
some advertising; but up to this time
the divide has never been sufficient to
materially cripple this paper.
The principal sufferers from opposi-
ton in the past have been advertisers,
and they have suffered principally be-
cause they have been compelled to pay
double price for results that had previ-
ously been secured at a single cost.
For instance, the York Enterprise
had possibly 1000 circulation to The
Enquirer's 1900. OF the Enterprises
!, 900 maybe five or six hundred were
bona fide, or paid for. and all but less
than 300 were also subscribers to The
ENQUIRER. The conditions in the cases
of the Yeoman and New Era were very
much the same, except that the New
Era had a much smaller total circula-
ton and a very much fewer number
of subscribers who were not also sub
scribers to The Enquirer. The adver-
tiser in the New Era would hardly
have reached more than $50 subscrib-
ers who were not also reached by The
ENQUIRER.
But with it all, 1t is not for us to
say whether or not there should be
competition, or opposition. The field is
open, and we are not sorry that such Is
the case. Somebody has suggested
that II there Is not room for two, 1t is
a question Of the survival of the fittest.
We see 1t that way, and We are glad
that this Is the situation. Otherwise
there would be little satisfaction in the
effort to publish a superior paper.

THE ANONYMOUS WRITER.

The principal business Of The En-
quirer Is to publish the news. and we
are always glad to get news from
whatever source; but no matter how
important the news it is important to
know where it comes from.
We are glad always, to note the
coming and going Of people; but 1t Is
impossible for our staff to gather cor
rect information of all the people who
come and 60 This is obvious, and
that we should appreciate 1t as kind
ness on the part Of those who give us
information either as to the movements
of themselves or others, is not difficult
to understand.
There are a great many people who
invariably drop us a card when they
have visitors or when they are visit
Ing. When such cards give us full in
formation and are signed with the
names Of the senders we are always
glad to get them.
Sometimes, however, we receive
CdTuS BlNlnB TIE Sdiic ihioi hotioh' bes
without any clue as to where the in
formation comes from. The informa-
ton may be correct. 1t generally Is
correct; but unless we can convenient
ly confirm such information, we are
unable to make use Of 1t.
Just why people neglect to sign their
names to communications bringing
news Of this kind we do not know. If
however, it is because Of a fear that
their names may be published in con-
nection with the same, they may dis
miss the matter from their minds.
For instance, If Miss Doe should
write us that she leaves today for
Greenville to visit Miss Roe, and signs
her name, we will be glad to print the
information in the paper, as though 1t
had been gathered by one Of our re-
porters; but II she fails to sign her
name, we drop the card in the waste
basket and pay no more attention to
1t, through a fear that 1t might have
been sent by some one else as a joke
or a hoax, and that Miss Doe has not
gone anywhere.
With so many explanations along
this line, It would seem that properly
disposed people ought to appreciate
the situation and refrain from sending
us unsigned communications.

Mr.. F. c. Black, who has been spend

as to how some very dry young men
tried to get some moonshine and failed
There was q man there from Gas

habit Of going about the grounds with
a 'honk. honk,' like an automobile
and some new comers asked me what
1t meant.

been going on, it occurred to me that
they would be interested in a special
product of the country round about and

by the spring, and continue along the

has been an old saw mill, give a few
honks, and wait

some distance down the branch heard

on the track.
when the boys came back they
were very much disgusted and declar-
ed that there were no moonshiners In

courier from Fee, the correspondent
adds, states that the tribesmen have
attacked and utterly routed the troops
under Caid Abdel Kader near Fee.
The Mathis Casablanca correspondent
says that Wednesdays attack obvi-
ously was directed by person thor

of modern warfare. The natives
made a splendid charge and only the
shells from Gloire broke 1t. The
newspaper correspondents had a mar

REPLY TO Mr.. WILSON.

Rev. w. c. Ewart preached his first
sermon last Sunday morning after an
absence of a month, during which time
he had been enjoying holiday grant
ed him at a congregational meeting
held on the last Sunday in July.
Before beginning his sermon Mr..
Ewart took occasion to thank the con-
gregation for the consideration 1t had
extended, and went on to say that he
felt very much benefited as the result
of the rest. Then he went on to make
a statement which, though not repro
duced verbatim. was about like this:
ut has come to my attention that
during my absence there has been dis
tributed throughout this congregation,
and as / have reason to presume, a
booklet attacking foreign mission work
generally, and the efforts of the Asso-
ciate Reformed church in that direc-
tion, especially.
Many Of you have received copies
of this booklet, and desire to say only
two things in connection with the mat
ter.
81 am personally acquainted with the
author Of this pamphlet and can afford
to say that l know him pretty well.
He Is not a member Of this church or
of any other church, and 1t seems to
me that such a criticism coming from
an outsider is. to say the least, not in
the best taste.
1.-THE other thing Is this. We have
the command Of our Divine Master to
go into all the world and preach the
gospel, and 1t seems to me that any in
dividual who undertakes to controvert
that command is assuming a good
deal.
with the appreciation that have
of the intelligence Of this congregation
do not consider that 1t is worth while
for me to discuss the subject further" J"

TO ALLEVIATE CONGESTION.
Union Pacific Has Added to Siding
Capacities at Terminals.


Some of the results of the efforts
made by the Union Pacific road to
provide against congestion of traffic on
it's lines are to be found in the increase
of the yard and siding space now at the
road now has 1862 feet of yard or siding
trackage for every car it owns, where
as four years ago it had but 322 feet.
This enlargement of siding facilities
has been going on all over the system,
and in the time specified has increased
by LOO miles, of 80 per cent. The i'm
proveInent work continues to be push
ed with energy.
Extensive improvements are being
made between Council Bluffs and South
Omaha, especially to the junction of
the Lane cutoff, which is expected to
be in operation by January 1 next. To
the yard trackage of the Grand Island
terminal 2S,200 feet have been added,
greatly increasing the facilities there.
At North Platte, in addition to minor
improvements, including large stock
yards already completed, the company
has authorized the erection of a con-
veyor type of coal station, having a
capacity of $4,000 tons. To provide for
ali the improvements there, 917 acres
of land have been purchased.
Another elaborate plant for the stor-
age of coal has been authorized at
Cheyenne and 5000 feet of additional
track will be laid there AT Rawlins
80 acres of land have been purchased
for new stockyards, and a coaling plant
having a raising capacity of 60 tons an
hour is now under construction. New

in Kansas City. He retired from COM
mercial business several years ago.
1--WE celebrated our golden we'd

Mr.. Bullene. Ten years have rolled
around very fast and I have hardly
noticed it. I believe ten more years
will find us still 1iving-a little grayer
perhaps, but then we are not old.ssa9

CLAY CENTER LEFT OUT.
Proposed Yankton & Gulf Line Will
Not Touch This City.


Washington, Kan, Nov. -4.-The
proposed Yankton & Gulf railroad,
which has been surveyed through this
county, Clay and Dickinson, is re-
garded as a sure thing by the people
done to assist the promoter, Fremont
Hill. A. A. Kearney, representing
Mt. Hill, has been in, this county dur
ing the past week buying land for the
right of way of the new road. His
work is to make contracts with the
owners to buy the land for a stipulat-.
ed sum when work on the road be-.
gins.
The commercial club of Washing
ton has the utmost confidence in the
promoter of this railroad, and has
given him all the assistance in its
power. G. H. Foote, county clerk
and secretary of the Washington com
mercial club, states that from flis
view of the proposed road, it's many
advantages when completed, and the
apparent ease in interesting capital
in it, there is every reason for hav-
business man of Washington seems to
hold the same opinion.
1t is said that Mr.. Hill, the promo
ter feels very much grieved over the
manner in which he was received by
the city of Clay Center He seems to
think his proposition was not taken
seriously by the Commercial club to
which he explained his scheme. 1t in
reported here that he said recently
that he would now cut around Clay
Center and that he could not be in
duced to follow his original survey
into that town.
