Antilles SOUNDS A KEYNOTE

Republicans Of foreign nationality,
whether they be Germans, Bohemians,

publican party. Notwithstanding the claims
of certain democratic politicians to the con-
trary," said George Antilles, secretary OF
the Personal Rights league during the first
prohibition campaign and now a candidate
for the republican termination for state
auditor.
Mr.. Antilles was speaking of democratic
claims 70 the solid f~oTeign-born vote on ac-
count Of threatened hostile legislation and
he said he had been making quite a canvass
Of the state and drew his. conclusions from
What he had observed in the state.
while the great majority OF foreign
born republicans are utterly opposed TO
the proposed county option bin advocated
by the Anti-salOon league, they stand
ready to fight out this and similar meas
ures in their own party in preference 70
delegating this mission 10 the democrats
for them 70 make political capital Of. No
party has q monopoly on, nor is the sole
custodian OF the liberties OF the people and
We know from past experience that the
republican party Is in every way qualified
20 deal wisely with this subject and thai

KING CORN RULES EUROPE
American Products Have Tight Hold

C. H. PICKENs IMPRESSED BY THIS

Report that Europe was struck
ny Yankees' Triumph over
Money strinEency.

In a trip through continental Europe
and England. Charles X. Pickens. general
manager Of Paxton & Gallagher company.
who returned Wednesday. found scores OF
products OF American corn. from roasting
ears on the streets Of Naples. 20 glucose
confectionery along the banks Of the
Danube: from breakfast foods at the hotels
q dear old London to corn cakes on the
transatlantic steamers.
These corn products are getting a fast
hold on Europe" said Mr.. Pickens. In
Germany. Switzerland, France, Italy and
england American demonstration are in
PRODUCING cora products and they are nearly
all made in America or from corn grown
IN the United States" -
There is some corn produced in Italy
and more In Austria-HunEary. but il does
not seem TO be equal TO the American
corn. The Italian corn is not served at
the hotels OF Italy. but we saw the people
cooking Il on the streets. They string the
ears still in the milk on wires and suspend
them in kettles OF boiling water. The pas
sengers on the streets buy an ear or
two and eat them on the sidewalk. In fact.
the people in one OF two streets in Naples
almost live on the sidewalks. We saw
dealers selling alfalfa in little bundles 70
the drivers Of carts. who drove up to the
curb an bought a lunch for themselves OF
boiled corn and a bundle OF alfalfa for the
horses"
Interest In Fail Election.
Mr.. Pickens said there was more than
ordinary interest In the coming presidential.
kelecthon in America among the Europeans
and especially in France and England.
The wonder Of the financial interests
in Europe Is the way In which American
securities have advanced regardless Of oui

was heralded by the pres OF Europe. Their

the prices Of Securities went upward. &

others
Everywhere there is interest felt In IN,
American crops. and il requires no careful
observer 10 see how prosperity in Americs

Coming through the east. Mr.. Pickeni
said he noticed how much business had
improved since ne sailed for his trip. an,
as he returned to Nebraska has seen an,

Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri ar,

HASTINGS. Neb.. Aus. 1l-CsPecial)-
Municipal ownership Of electric lighting
and power service in Hastings has been
successful beyond the expectations OF those
who first proposed the enterprise. The con-
dition Of the department and the enlarge
ment Of the plant since II was established
in February. 1901, are shown by the re-
ports OF the city clerk for the official
year ending with July.
The plant was established with the pro-
ceeds Of a $1,000 bond issue and was de-
signed Tor street lighting only. A commer-
cisl service was almost Immediately added
and nov the plant represents an invest
ment Of approximately So.ooo With the
exception Of revenue averaging about S.9o
a year from direct levy, 81 operating eX-
penses and all extensions and permanent
improvements have been paid for from the
receipts OF the commercial service. The
only debt Of the department lie the original
bond issue and outstanding warrants ag-
gregating less than e.50o.
Not only has the plant paid for itself and
its operation. with the exception Of the
amount derived from the sale OF the bonds
and the small amount frvua the levy. but
II has furnished the city with street light
ing, which would have cost approximately
$500 per year. There are sixty-seveu
street lamps on the public circuit. Before
the municipal plant was Installed the city
paid SIS per lamp per month to a private
concern. At SO per month these lamps ir
seven and one-half years would have cost
approximately $500. II the city had
chrsged itself for street lighting at TIM
rate, or credited the lighting fund at THU
rate. the department would now have q
balance OF S120O0 after paying off al
bonded and warrant debt.
Rates for commercial service are much
less than the average throughout tht
country for towns Of this size. The pur
pose Of the administration has been t.
give the consumer minimum rates. rathei
than impose rates which would give thu
city a profit. Persons who have given tn,
matter careful thought are inclined to be
lieve that eventually the commercial serv
ice will support the entire plant and Civ,
