MUST SHOW
A TICKET

Beginning at 12 o'clock last night no
person win be allowed to board Rock
Island passenger train leaving the sta
ton in this city without having first
purchased and shown their ticket to
the conductor. This rule is in force
at all stations of importance on the
system and owing to the increased
traffic and consequent increased
chances for mistakes the custom will
be enforced in this city Often passen-
gers board the wrong train and blame
the innocent conductor for the mis-
take. Also it is vely inconvenient to
collect cash fares.
The order to enforce the rule OF
showing tickets to the conductor is
being enforced all along the line. It
is thought this will prevent delay and
save both the company and passengers
any embarrassment.

new YORK SAFE
FOR BRYAN

New York. Oct 15.-The most thor
Iough and extensive ante election poll
ever made has probably just been con-
|cluded by the World, of this city.
Over $4,000 postal cards were sent
out in New York alone asking the
voter to fill out his preference and re-
turn. A great majority of these were
returned as requested.
Using the percentage Of the vote re.
turned and applying it to the total
vote of the state it would seem that
Mr.. Bryan is within about $4,000 votes
of Mr.. Taft, and that a change of
slightly more than 1000 votes would
mean that Bryan would carry the
state.
On the other hand, in the contest for
governor of new York, the evidence
is plain that an overwhelming defeat
Is in store for Governor Hughes, who,
Dy the same rule, will fall behind MIR.
his Democratic opponent,
more than $4,000 votes.
The inference naturally is that in
case the sentiment is SO radically
strong against the Republican candi-
date for governor, 1t is an even break
that in the end enough votes will fol-
low this particular bent and give Bry-
an enough votes to have a comfortable
in the state.
Republican leaders are scared and
freely admit that there is good reason
% believe that Bryan will carry New
York and also that if he does carry
New York the chances are two to one
n his favor in the nation.

HASKELL GETS BIG OVATION
AT HIS old OHIO HOME

Lima, Ohio, Oct. 15.-Governor c. N.
Haskell of Oklahoma arrived in Lima
yesterday afternoon from Chicago. The
reception given him formed one Of the
biggest political ovations Of the year.
Thousands passed in line before him
to shake his hand.
The governor was met at Van Vert
by committee from Lima, consisting
OF ]. H. sechrest, president of the
Bryan and Kern club Of Lima, w. B.

at Lima, President Sechrest, with a
club committee of fifty, chartered a
special trolley car and took Governor
Haskell to his old home at Ottawa,
twenty miles north, where big demon
stration was given in his honor last
night.
President Sechrest said OF Governor
HaskelPs visit: THE man we know
as Charlie never met defeat in foren-
sic contest before the people, and our
entire people are delighted to find him
with greater yigor and spirit. rising
clear above the unwarranted attacks
made upon him. The event Of the
day is the evidence on every hand Of
affection for Haskell. 1t is general
among all classes. The people of the
east have a peculiar appreciation Of
oklahoma's kind Of government and
Of Governor Haskell's labors in behalf
OF the people"

COL. JOHNSON
'ROUSED 'EM

Col Johnson, the noted lawyer and
politician, of Oklahoma City, was the
orator at the Democratic meeting In
Tuttle Wednesday afternoon and Minco
last night, taking the place OF Governor
Haskell, who was unable to fill his
engagement.
At Tuttle large crowd heard Col.
Johnson and the meeting was a sue
cess in every way. The speaker was
then taken to Minco in an auto, where
an audience Of about 500 greeted him.
Preceding the speaking a splendid
orchestra entertained the crowd with
several selections and the orator was
then introduced in a very appropriate
manner by A. d. Hughes. Col. John
son, who has few superiors as a speak
er. was at his best and his address
was a mastery exposition Of Democrat
Ic policies and principles.
J. F. Bishop, county chairman, at
tended the meeting and was much
pleased with the enthusiasm displayed
by Minco Democrats.

BRYAN MAKES TWENTY
TWO SPEECHES IN ONE DAY

Hebron, Neb, Oct. 15.-The second
days tour of Nebraska by Hon. WIZ.
liam ]. Bryan was brought to a close
at Hebron last night. Twenty-Five
speeches were made during the day by
the Democratic candidate, varying in
duration from ten minutes to one hour.
1t was by far the most enthusiastic
day for Mr.. Bryan during the trip and
the crowds which greeted him at tho
various stations were composed largely
OF old friends OF the candidate who
had heard him many times as a stump,
speaker during the last twenty years
and when he was known as a presi-.
Dental possibility. With the conclu-
sion Of his work, Mr. Bryan expressed
himself as being greatly pleased with
his reception in his home state during
the day. saying that his audiences
were larger and more enthusiastic
than during any other campaign. Three
congressional districts were traversed
yesterday and In each the candidate
made an appeal for the Democratic
nominees. Mr.. Bryan invariably began
each speech by saying that he was
more interested in the election of the
candidate for congress than was the
candidate himself.
Il would feel mighty lonesome In
Washington if both the senate and the
house were against me" he said, but
II you will give me the house am
sure we will make the senate feel lone
some"
At those places where it was possi-
BILE to do so, Mr.. Bryan discussed all
the issues, but in smaller places he
devoted his time to explaining and de-
Tending the Democratic position on
the guarantee Of bank deposits.
Stops were made ut North Bend.

City, Grand Island, Wood River, Shell

HIGH SCHOOL is
ASSURED
FACT
Johnson Sells the Bonds
100000 Will Soon be
Ready for Use

A telegram received from Chicago
by Ben Johnson at $3.50 last night
announced that the high school bonds
had been approved by the attorneys
OF the bond buying company.
Some time ago these bonds were
turned down on legal objections and
1t looked like another election would
have to be held before any money
for school building could be OBJ
tained, but Mr. Johnson and his at
torney worked persistently on the
proposition, overcoming the objections
raised by the lawyers till success came.
Just as soon as the bonds arrive and
are signed. $4,000 derived from the
sale Of them will be available for the
erection Of the new high school build
ing.
This is the fourth bond issue that
has been successfully handled by Mr..
Johnson this year, the total amount
being $2O5,O0O. The first disposed Of
was the refundlng bonds amounting to
$4,000 and the other two were the
storm sewer issue of $4,000 and the
city halp bonds amounting to $685.

BREITMEYER NAILS

Some mistaken and adverse crlti-
cism is being made OF Park Commits
sioner Breitmeyer because many
horsemen hold him responsible for
the fact that no speedway has been
bdit.
Il regret that there has been no
speedway built as much as anyone
can" says Breitmeyer. The explana-
ton is very slmple-the estimators
made no appropriation tor the project
this year and the former appropria-
ton was turned back into another
fund some time ago.
III could build speedway, |
would do SO. In fact. ii the horse

in the meeting OF the board of esti-
mates next spring TO urge tho desir'

port factory that Breitmeyer has
TO answer Is the statement that. be-
cause Frank ID. Andrus Is supporter
OF his cause. he would favor the old

SEEKS FOR SITE FOR
SEWER PUMPING STATION

The councils request to the water
hoard TO allow OF the building or the
new intercepting sewer pumping sta
ton on a portion OF the water works
pumping station site will be taken up
in the water board meeting Tuesday
afternoon. The city has asked for
bids on sites and finds that the only
really available site. aside from the
water works property. adjoins Water
Works park on the west and would
cost $4,000.
The aldermen reason that there IL
no need OF spending that much money
for a new site as long as the water
board has SO much land and VIII
ask for n slice. Ii Is also hoped 10
make some arrangement by which
power for the sewage pumping sta
ton may be had from the water
works. This would greatly lessen the
cost OF pumping.
A Joint meeting OF aldermen and
water commissioners will be held next
week. at which the water board
position will be formally announced.
