There is no reason why this end
of Barber county should not now
have regular Sunday train service
as well as everyday mail on the
new D. E. & @. railroad. Here is
chance for our young commercial
club to get busy and do something
of practical benefit to every citizen
of the north half of Barber county.
An official informed us a few days
ago that in his opinion these things
could be secured if the citizens who
are interested will take it up.

E.A.Miller,a member of the school
board at Antelope, requests us to
state that the party who announc-
ed a series of dances at Antelope
Flat, had no authority to do so, if
he meant to infer that the school
house was to be used for that pur-
pose; that no privilege was given
any person to use the school house
for dancing purposes and that it
would not even be considered if
solicited.

A CITY TICKET NOMINATED
Election Will Not 60 by Default. Tick
ct Named Last Wednesday Evening.

For the first time in several years
there will be only one city ticket
IN the field this spring. For awhile
1t appeared that there would be no
election at all, but at nearly the
last moment a ticket was nominat-
ed. Dodgers were put out last
wednesday afternoon announcing
a mass meeting to be held at the
court house that evening for the
purpose of nominating a ticket.
Less than twenty responded but
those present named a ticket, as
follows:
Mayor-Seward |. Field.
Councilmen-Jas. Dobbs, w. l..
Bragg, R. R. Froman, A. B. Purdy
and H. H. Case.
Police Judge-W. T. Collins.
The meeting was called to order
by Judge S. P. Garrison by request.
He made a short talk compliment
ing the present city administration
and stated that several of them had
declared that they would no longer
serve and hence it seemed necessary
to nominate ticket OF be without
officers. He said that the present
mayor and council had built more
walks than any previous admins
tration and had labored faithfully
for the city's welfare and retire
with the good will of everybody.
Judge Garrison was chosen perma.
nent chairman of the meeting and
U. G. Herr was asked to record the
proceedings. All nominations were
made by acclamation. The name
OF Seward |. Field for mayor was
presented by G. ]. Southworth.
The FIVE names for councilmen were
presented by FIVE different individ-
uals and nominations were then
closed and the candidates declared
nominated.
For police Judge, H. H. Case
presented the name of w. T. Col
lins. w. L. Parsons proposed the
name of DR.. D. E. Tedrow. Th e
chairman asked those who favored
Judge Collins to raise their right
hand. He received ten votes.
Those favoring DR.. Tedrow were
requested to signify it by the same
sign. He received four votes and
Judge Collins was declared the
nominee.
A committee composed of w. L.
Bragg, w. L. Parsons and DR.. R.
E. McAllister was appointed to fill
vacancies should any occur.
The name, "Citizens Ticket"
was chosen as the official heading,
and picture of the court house
was designated as the emblem to
appear on the official ballot.
The meeting lacked interest,
showing clearly that there is no de-
sire to stir up contention in city af-
fairs this spring. In its present fl
nancial condition, it is no pleasant
task to serve the city and one term
generally satisfies a man. This
has been repeatedly shown, as in
the case of the retiring administra-
tion, when the mayor and council
men refused a denomination.
The men nominated are repre-
sentative business men capable Of
giving the city good service, and
without doubt will do all in their
power to promote the general well
fare. In this they are entitled to
the hearty cooperation of every
citizen.

There is more doing in justice
and police court this spring than
any previous year in our recollec-

is because of the unusually early
warm weather while others think
it is the personal magnetism and
popularity of our justices that at
tracts the litigants. A few believe
that the waters of Elm Creek and
the historic Medicine river have
been spiked" in some mysterious
manner so that partakers thereof
are prone to put on the old fash
ioned war paint and go out seek

A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Eli Harbaugh, oldest son of J. B.
Harbaugh and wife of Nippawalla
township, was kicked in the mouth
by a horse Friday night and his
condition is extremely bad. The
upper lip was cut in three places,
all of his front teeth knocked out
and the process broken of of the
maxillary bone. DR.. Coleman was
called. He sewed the lacerated
lip and dressed the maxillary and
is making daily visits to attend the
patient. It viii require constant
attention to prevent complications
and at best it is feared that Mr..
Harbaugh's upper mouth will re-
main deformed. We sincerely
trust, however, that careful treat
ment will restore it to normal
condition.
Eli was driving a treacherous
pony. He was going to a party
in company with other young
people, and in fording the river
the pony baked. The willing
horse went forward and the balky
pony pulled back and the single
tree caught in the wheel. Eli
leaned over to pull the single tree
out when the pony kicked striking
him squarely in the mouth. He
was carried home in a semi con-
sclous condition and so remained
for several hours. The friends of
the family heard of the accident
with a feeling of deep regret.
