The Boyerton Holocaust.

The recent terrible holocaust
in small theatre at Boyerton,
Pa, was one of the worst catas-
trophies of the many recent dis
asters. Its horrors are accentua-
ted because of the small popula-
tion of the place in which it
occurred. The number of deaths
is placed at los and the total
population of Boyerton is but
little over 1000. Practically every
surviving man of tn town lost
either member of his own
family or a near relative.
The occasion was an amateur
show. The stage was crowded
with young people whose Curl
osity was responsible for the fire
and its terrible results. There
was one small stairway for the
front entrance and a narrow exit
in the rear. These soon became
so clogged with persons endeavor-
ing to escape that those behind
were caught as in trap and
burned, except very few.
The greatest object lesson is
the lack of proper provisions for
caring for the safety of persons
in places of amusement. The
disregard for human life, in some
places, is worse than criminal.
There have been so many catas
trophies in which the loss of life
has been appalling-that the
public is less shocked than il
former years. The list of fatalities
causes but passing shudder anc
does not excite the people to ;
proper conception of its horror
or determination to move tn
possibilities of future disaster
Of that nature.
The charred remains of tn,
victims of the Boyerton and othe
tragedies and the battered an
trampled corpses of those who's
bodies escaped the flames, CT
out for more precautions fo
humanity in the future.

Messrs. Callen and Koozer went

Miss Madge Bishop returned to

only able TO attend to duties a
half day, aud returned to her
home Thursday.
Last Friday evening about
twenty young people gathered at
G. J. Martins to surprise their
son, Wythe. Games and social
chat afforded much merriment
for the evening, after which well
prepared refreshments were
served and at rather a late hour
the young people departed to
their homes, thinking how pleas
ant it was to have such good
times, and glad they were, to
have it complete surprise.
Mrs. Blaine Lanterman's sister
has been spending a few days
with her.

Gering, SCOTS Bluff county, ia
the western part Of the state.
He has built up "A good paper in
that locality as well as laid up a
sufiicicncy to tide hin over a
rainy day.
Mr.. Wood is a practical news
paper man and conducts his paper
on practical business principles
He is a man of energy, good
Judgment and in every respect
worthy of the honor his friends
seek to confer. At the present
time is vice-president of the state
association and as an honor due
the western part of the state as
well as a reward due Mr.. Wood
for his faithfulness in years past,
the REPUBLICAN would be pleased
to see him elected president of
the association.
The Alliance Times in speak
ing of Mr.. Woods candidacy says:
Mr.. Wood has attended every
meeting for years, is now vice
president Of the association, and
has served as one of the secre-
taries. Such being the case,
Western Nebraska ne wspaper men
ought to start movement now
that would make Brother Wood
president OF the association for
the ensuing year. The "Pan-
handle" newspaper fellows travel
farther than any to these sessions;
have attended many years, and it
would be nothing more than a
proper honor if the presidency
were brought out this way once.
Progressive, capable, alert and
with high sense of integrity, Asa
Wood has the record in having
been established twenty years in
| Western Nebraska-all the time
at Gering and off the railroad
Say, fellows, let's give him Z
boost for the president of the
association for 1908.

The Biggest Time
of Their Lives
Declared Members of the Woodmen Of
America Lodge Who Attended
the Yesterdays Rally.
OVER A THOUSAND PRESENT.
Business Houses Decorated, Bands
Played, Streets Thronged and
Everybody Happy.

About two months ago Mr.. E.
c. Cross, district deputy of the
Modern Woodmen of America
commenced soliciting members
in this county for the order and
the result of his labors indicate
that he is away up head and
several laps to spare in that line.
Mr.. Cross is certainly untiring
in his efforts and a great organi-
ger, regardless of the fact that
he represents one of the best fra
ternal organizations in America.
This fact, however, can be more
readily understood, when one
stops to think and realize that
within two months over four
hundred members in Custer coun-
ty have been added to the enroll
ment of the order.
Early yesterday morning menu
bers of the order, and prospective
mem bers, commenced arriving in
the city from every direction in
private conveyances and they
continued to come until | o'clock.
At II o'clock special train OF
six coaches came in from the
east, starting from Ravenna.
This train brought mem bers and
candidates-l50 of the latter be-
ing from Ansley.
At 2 o'clock a parade of men,
bers and candidates to the num-
Der of over six hundred, with
music by the Ansley and Broken
Bow bands was a great feature
of the rally.
During the afternoon addresses
were delivered in the Opera house
and greatly enjoyed by a large
number.
Last night the Opera house
was filled by Woodmen, and sub
jects forlsympathy, and the worl
of comforting the degrees on 30
candidates was not finished unit
nearly 5 o'clock this morning.

already made an order-of having
one member of the national guard
from each state take a competi-
tive examination for second lieu
tenant will do much to encourage
the men of the service and raise
the standard. 1t is rewards like
these that adds interest to the
militia and draw recruits. Jus,
now there is nothing needed
worse than recruits in the army,
and it is certainly puzzling the
war department how to get them
The question of more pay, ade'
quate rewards and less real work
seems to be the only solution.

It's sure enough-Taft.
Delegate to National Convention.

This congressional district is
rightly entitled to two delegates
to the National Republican con-
vention to nominate William II.
Taft for president, and Broken
Bow has a citizen who would
make an ideal member of the
delegation in the person of
Walter A. George, mayor of our
city and president of the Security
State bank.
Mayor George is certainly
we'll qualified and would be a
valuable member to the delega-
ton and place on the delega-
ton will be claimed for him by
the republicans of this part OF
the state.

The first three weeks of the
new year shows fine feeling of
confidence. The words furry"
and "striugency" have passed out
and merchants find their trade
restored, almost, to normal. There
is not hint of gloom in the at
mosphere. The east, which was
the least cheerful section of the
country two months ago, is now
rejecting the optimism of the
west. New York, which is the
keystone to the financial arch, is
stronger in fact and in confidence
than it has been for some time.
Better than this is the spirited
attitude of the whole people.
There has been small pariJg in
personal outlay since the realiza-
ton seems to be general that the
country is sounder than ever
the future brighter. 1t is reason.

Frank A. Harrison, who usual

diagnose the political situation in
advance in Nebraska so to have
things his own way, will find
that the rank and file of the re-
publican party will not be with
him in his support of the candi-
dacy of LaFollette for president.
The popularity of President
Roosevelt with the voters is so
great that his indorsem of
