New First Street Bridge.

Within a week it is hoped that
work will have started on new
double span steel bridge over the Elk
horn river on the South First street
road. The material for the bridge has
been shipped for some time and is ex-
pected to reach here within a few
days.
The new bridge, which has been
needed for many years, will be one
of the finest bridges in the county. 1t
will cost between $4,000 and $4,000
and will consist of two 100 foot spans.
In all the bridge will be about 400
feet long.
1t will take at least three weeks,
with good luck, to put up the big
bridge.
While the bridge is going up it will
be closed to travel unless the period
happens to fall within the ice making
season when arrangements will be
made to get wagons over as the in
convenience of reaching the ice fields
south of the city would otherwise be
too great.
The First street bridge has always
been a source of danger in high water
and last spring during the period of
flood water was watched constantly
by County Commissioner Taft with a
force of men.

The Value of a Kiss.

Judge WEIGH and jury at Madison
may be called on to determine the
value of a kiss unlawfully taken.
Mrs. Adrain Craig, suing George
Benedict, values it at $4,000. And
she wants to collect.
Mr.. Benedict, on the other hand, is
alleged to have placed a value of forty
cents on a kiss and hug. For this
and other alleged remarks he is sued
another $4,000.
This suit, which was filed in the
district court at Madison last week,
involves some of the most prominent
families in Madison county and the
occasion for the suit or any events
which may have lead up to it are gen
orally regretted. The Craig and Ben
edict homes are west of the city.
In Mrs. Craig's petition she recites
that on the night of about October
10 Mr.. Benedict came to her home
in the absence of her husband and
asked her to go buggy riding, which
she did not want to do. Mr.. Benedict
it is further stated, said that her hus-
band was in Norfolk and that he
wanted her to go to town and per-
suade him to come home. Other
conversation along the same line is
set forth, Mrs. Craig refusing to
leave the house. Then it is charged
that Benedict grabbed Mrs. Craig in
his arms and kissed anf Rugged her.
For this Mrs. Craig asks $4,000 dam
age
The second claim for $4,000 is
based on alleged SANDER. Mrs. Craig
charges that on or about October 90
in the presence of a prominent family
of the neghborhood Mr.. Benedict ad-
mitted that he had kissed and Rugged
her and moreover that he said that he
would be willing to pay forty cents
| if Craig thought it worth that much.
Other alleged slanderous remarks are
also set up.
Mrs. Craig is a young woman and
her husband is one of the most promi'
nent young farmers of this section,
She is a daughter of Samuel Thatch,
prominent Madison county pioneer
Benedict is a successful farmer and
| man OF about fifty years. A daugh,
ter of his recently figured as the hero
inc in an elopement. Mr., Benedict
admits the visit to the Craig home
but denies any wrong doing or any in
tenton of wrong doing,
Mrs, frankie Craigs suit was filed
! by Attorney j. c. Engelman. The
I firm of Mapes & Hazen will probably
be engaged by Mr.. Benedict,
The case was not filed in time to be
heard at the coming term of court.

Mr.. Perdue's Selection.
Mr.. Perdue's selection for the de.
putyship is naturally pleasing to the
school men of north Nebraska, with

shown by his election to the presi
dency of the North Nebraska Teach
ers association and other honors. He
has been in this county since 1895, was
elected from Tilden and is now serv
ing his second term.
Mr. Perdue's new office pays a sal
airy of $500 a year Another ad
vantage arises from the fact that his
daughter, Miss Bess Perdue, will prob
, ably attend the state university.
While Mr.. Perdue has not an

the deputyship, it is known that IT
