Death.

Hattie Ferne Reedy, daughter
of Mr.. and S. w. Reedy, was
born March Is, 1907, in Broken
Bow, Nebraska; died March z,
1908, of pneumonia, after an
illness of several months.
A sweet golden head has forgotten lifes way
Asleep on its pillow of roses,
Wee hands shutting close as II tired OF play
Like buds which the summer discloses.
But the beautiful song of my birdie was still,
And over his lips of my blossom,
The dimples lay white as the frost on the rill
When spirit sang low to my spirit at will
He carries the lambs in his BOSOM.
There's never a lamb from loves sorrowful
fold
But wanders in fields that are vernal,
And never bud hid away from the cold
But blossoms in summer eternal
When the storms sweep the hills and the
night gathers deep.
/ think of my paradise blossom
And hear the same song for the weary that
weep,
The weakest are safest far over the steep
He carries the lambs in his BOSOM.

Speaker Cannon.

The people of this county have
again had positive proof that
there is one man in public life
who never flinches, who never
trims, who never squirms. There
never was a more courageous, a
more honest and outspoken man
in American political life than
"Uncle Joe" Cannon, the popular
speaker of the house of Repre-
sentatives. He believes in his
country and is not afraid to say
so. He believes that certain
legislation would be against the
best interests of the laboring mar
and is not afraid to say so. He
believes in protective tariff and
is not afraid to say so. He i:
opposed to a tariff commississior
and is not afraid to say so. He
does not think tariff revision il
necessary at present and is no
afraid to say so. He does no
believe in wasting the people,
money or the congressmen's time
He is not afraid of losing dele
gates and he would not gain on
at the expense of compromisin,
his honest beliefs.

Rounded-up and
Brought Back
W. E. Willard, Former Clerk in the
County Treasurers Office Arrested
on Charge Of Lifting" $500.

Ex-sheriff Richardson went out to
Colfax, Wash, last week and brought
back William E. Willard this morning,
who was wanted for appropriating to
his own use about $500 from the
treasurers office which he had taken
when acting as clerk some two years
ago.
The funds taken by Willard con-
sisted of $146 in cash and $3.50 in
Lillian irrigation ditch coupons.
These funds had been left in a
drawer in the safe and were designat-
cd as part of the unfinished bust
ness fund" They belonged to a
private individual and were left in the
hands of W. A. George while he acted
as county treasurer and were turned
over to John Cavenee when the latter
assumed the duties of the Office.
Willard admits to Mr.. Cavenee that
he got the money, says he lost it in
playing poker, and that he will make
it good.
Ex- Sheriff G. U. Richardson took
the matter up last summer and wrote
to the sheriff at Berkeley Springs,
w. Va, where Wizards mother lives.
He learned from him that he ( Willard)
got his mail at Rosalia, Wash. Mr..
Richardson then sent v lizards photo.
graph to the sheriff of Whitman county,
WASH, with the instruction to arrest
him. He received a message from the
sheriff Of Whitman county, last Thurs.
day, that he had arrested the man
Mr.. Richardson in whose name the
warrant was drawn and the reauisitior
made, was requested by County At
torney Gutterson to make the trip an(
get the prisoner.
He returned with his man this
moning, having found him in tn,
hands of the sheriff of Whitman
county.

Save the School Children.

The following circular has
been sent out by State Superin-
tendent McBrien and Labor Com
missioner Ryder:
Owing to the recent calamity
at Collinwood, a suburb of Cleve-
land, o., we deem it our duty to
call the attention of boards of
education, city superintendent,
high school and village princi-
pals, teachers and other officials
throughout the state who are re-
sponsible for the lives of the
school children entrusted to their
care to the law regulating fire
escapes and egress from public
buildings.
To guard against loss of life
in this state we urge upon all
officials whose duty it is to en-.
force the aforesaid acts to see
that the provisions of these laws
are strictly observed. We re.
greet to say that there are al
least 800 public school buildings
in villages, towns and cities in
Nebraska where existing ar
engagements fail to meet the re-
quirements of the law. In many
places the situation is criminal
1t is the small details that are
TOO often overlooked or entirel,
neglected, which in the event Of
great emergencies would be the
line between salty and danger
All doors should swing outward
Windows should never be allow
ed to become bound or neglected
to that extent that they will no
work with touch of the finger
Escapes of non-combustable ma
terial should be erected wher,
needed. The need should be re
garded as immediate rather tina,
in the distant future.
5 We offer the suggestion tina
; in addition to exits and fire es
I capes provided for by law ther
should be on every floor of
5 school building two or moi
stories in height supply of rope
0 in every room, knotted and s,
s curely fastened to the wal
ready for immediate use. TIL
boys should be required to pra
tice descending on these rope
:. occasionally and the girls shouI
. be required to watch the boys ;
: practice.
- There should be frequent fl
= drills in every school, but
" should be remembered that in
!. fire drill it is as important to S
!. in how orderly a manner the p
, pills can leave the building,
,, we'll as how quickly it can
l. done.

Thursday, March IL, 1908.

There recently died in an alco-
holic ward OF a New York hos
pital, a young man whose short
but somewhat meteoric career
has inspired thousands of news
paper publishers to print columns
of matter concerning his achieve
ments. He was not great
painter nor great sculptor, nor
a distinguished physician, states
man, preacher or philanthropist,
and he could lay no claim to
scholarly attachments. Had he
been of these, or a great astrono-
mer, architect or engineer, his
obituary might have reached a
half column in length in the met
ropolitan journals, with rather
more than even chances that il
would have occupied but short
paragraph of space and been
tucked away in some remote cor.
ner under the head of "Sparks
from the Wires," but so great
has been the wisdom displayed
in his choice of profession
coupled with the skill which he
had acquired in it, that his pass
ing was mourned as little short
of public calamity. He was ;
colored man; prize fighter ant
his name George Dixon.

License the Issue at Ravenna.

License or no license will be
the issue in the coming spring
election at Ravenna, and the
liveliest fight that town has had
in many year is probable. The
town board voted to submit the
question, wet or dry, in responce
to petition. A mass meeting
was called and very largely at
tended protesting against the
action of the board but nothing
further was done. For the first
time in a decade there is the
possibility of a dry town aftel

An Exciting Runaway.

The Galloway Queen of last
week told of an exciting runa-
way, in which two well-known
and prominent Custer county
citizens were mixed-up, thus:
N. B. Troyer and VIM. Tyson
were hobbling around the fore
part of the week, and are hardly
able to touch spot upon their
persons that was not sore. They
were mixed up in an exciting
runaway on Sunday, which was
the cause of the whole thing.
They were driving spirited
team in the locality of the VIM,
Engels farm, when a dog chased
the rig, frightening the horses,
which became unmanagable
They were leading a third horse
and 1t was impossible to handl,
the three, and as a result both
gentlemen were thrown from tn,
buggy receiving several sever,
bruises! The horses ran to thu
Engels place, where they raj
into a fence and were caught
The seat and top of the bugg,
were broken off, and a couple O
spokes broken out, but the horse
!. escaped without injury. Messr:
Troyer and Tyson feel exceed
ingly thankful that the resuI
, was no worse, but they hav
a sworn vengeance upon the canir
family.

AT the republican state con-
vention in Omaha today, Mayor
w. A. George of Broken Bow
was elected one of the delegates
to the National republican con-
vention which meets in Chicago

The loss of life in a school
house fire in Ohio, last week, is
perfectly appalling and brings
great sorrow to the hearts of
many parents. Such calamities
have their lessons as we'll as sor-
rows, and one of the strongest in
tine present case, seems to be the
justice of the law enforced, in
many states-the doors of all
public buildings shall swing out

There are conservative obser-
vers in Washington who fear
that the wide diversity of opin-
ion which has manifested itself,
both in and out of congress, may
preclude the passage of any cur.
rency legislation whatever al
this session. If that should
prove to be the case, it is easy tc
see that indefinite postponmen'
is likely to result. The next SEES
sion will be short and the memory
of the panic less vivid, and aftel
the election the tariff will claim
immediate and absorbing atten
ton.

An analysis of the expert re-
port lately issued by the depart
ment of commerce and labor
shows that skilled labor in the
Uuited States has deteriorated in
recent years. 1t seems to be
human nature for a man to grow
slouchy and arrogant in the face
of plenty and only do his best
under conditions in which ad.
versity-either present or pend

The president of the Univer-
sity of Chicago is named as hold
ing to the belief that people do
not get old so long as their

people who find pleasure in "a

that the minds of some of their
political neighbors stopped grow

In doubt. The candidates for gov

Iowa-The hot local fight on the
senatorship overshadows the national
campaign and leaves the question OF
the predicted big majority for Taft
open. There is much doubt. especial
ly in view of Bryan's large personal
following in the state. A special

that enough Democratic voters will

feat. by a narrow margin, OF Botkin,
the Democratic nominee.
Kentucky-Both parties are claim
ing the state by from 10000 TO 49,

upon the successful administration
OF Governor Wilson. The Democrats
are depending upon the great popn-
larity of Bryan TO bring out the full
vote and thereby carry the state.
Louisiana-Indieaiions point to an
increase OF the usual Democratic ma
jority.
Maine-The state will give the Re-
publican ticket the usual majority.
Bert NJ. Fernald (Repl was elected
governor on September IA.
Maryland-Bryan is Handicapped
by the reason that no newspapers In
Baltimore are advocating his cleo
ton. On the other hand. he expects
to get an increased labor vote. The
registration failed to give line on
the result as an unusually large
number OF voters declined to express
party preference. It is believed gem
orally that the contest will be close.
Massachusetts-The state probably
will give a normal Republican vote.
The political complexion of the con-
gressional delegation is likely to re-
main unchanged with IL Republican
and three Democrats the latter from
