VOTED OUT
POOL HALLS.
At the Election Tuesday, Broken Bow
Voted to Dispense With Pool
and Billiard Halls.
NO LICENSE BY $50 MAJORITY.
0conto is the Only Town in the County
Reported to Vote in Favor
of Saloons.
NO LICENSE BY $50 MAJORITY

Like many preceding elections
the one pulled off in Broken Bow
on Tuesday of this week was
"quiet and uneventful" beyond
the mere fact that a complete set
of city officials, with only one
ticket in the field, we're elected
and the further fact that pool and
billiard halls are to be closed.
The legal voter also expressed
their opinion as to whether or not
the poor halls should remain.
The average Broken Bow voter,
of the legal breed, is frisky
critter, and until the polls closed
and the votes counted, it would
not have been a cinch to bet
either way on the outcome of the
question which had to do with
the dispensing of that article
which exhilirates, intoxicates
and steals away the brain. On
this question in 1906 the vote
was loo against and So for. Last
year it was loo against and SO for.
This year it was thought quite a
number who have heretofore vot-
ed against saloons would reverse
their vote because of the forcing
of a vote on the pool halls and
with this idea in their minds the
no saloon people worked vigor-
ously against defeat and sue
ceeded.
The vote in Broken Bow, in
detail, was as follows.

Mrs. Morrow Fatally Burned.

Monday morning at about
o'clock, Mrs. Elizabeth Morrow,
residing in the south part of the
city was seen by Claud, son of A.
c. Crawford, to run out of heI
home with her clothes burning.
He summoned his father who
fastened to the unfortunate
womans assistance, but before he
could extinguish the fire she was
so terribly burned that death re.
suited at IL o'clock Tuesday
night.
1t had been her custom to
start the fire with kerosene which
she attempted to do Monday
morning, as usual, but this time
there were some live Goals in
what appeared to be perfectly
dead ashes, and an explosion
followed which set fire to her
clothing. Finding she could not
extinguish the fire she ran out
doors.
Mrs. Morrow was the wife of
Benz amin F. Morrow who died
about two years ago. Mr.. and
Mrs. Morrow came to Custer
county twenty-three years ago
from Clark county, Missouri, and
have no relatives here. At his
death Mrs. Morrow came into
possession of 100000 and the
property in this city. Of this
she gave 81, 100000 to the Ma
sonic lodge of this city, under
certain conditions, and made a
will to divide the balance equally
between a nephew and half
sister of Mr.. Morrow.
Postmaster Jewett has been
her adviser in business matters
and it is understood the will
names him as executor of the
estate. In response to kilograms
sent to relatives in Missouri he
has received replies they cannot
reach here for the funeral, which
will be held this afternoon at
o'clock from the Presbyterian
church. The deceased was about
! 65 years of age.

No Fictitious Liquor Shipments.

At Washington on Monday of
this week, after extended hear
ings and exhaustive arguments
by the members of the senate
committee on the judiciary, that
committee agreed upon a bill
dealing with the shipment of
liquors from one state or terri
tory to another state or territory.
The measure is comparatively
simple in form, providing that
there shall be no &C. 0. D."
packages of liquor shipped in in
tiers tate commerce where ficti-
tious names are used, and that
the name of the consignor and
consignee shall be stated plainly.
The provision is designed to
eliminate the practice of railroad
and express agents acting as
agents for liquor houses.
There were numerous bills be-
fore the subcommittee dealing
with every phase of the question
and particularly they sought to
give to state the right 10 con-
troll liquor shipments the moment
they entered the border of the
state. Temperance organiza-
tions all over the country desired
this feature to be incorporated in
the bill so as to give the widest
latitude to state in exercising
its police powers.

NATIONAL CORN EXPOSITION.
Ii IWill Be Held in Omaha Next De-
cember, and Custer County
Will Compete for
Prizes.

A meeting was held in Lincoln
on April End, by the men from
different counties in this state,
who have charge of the county
work in connection with the
national scorn exposition, to be
held in Omaha in December next.
Mr.. J. d. Ream was sent there
as delegate by the Custer coun-
ty Agricultural Society, md he
comes back greatly enthused
over what that exposition may
do, not only in the way of adver-
Using for the different sections
of the state, but also for what it
may accomplish in teaching us
how to raise better and more
corn, Gand how to handle our
other grains to better advantage.
Mr.. Ream, will be superinten-
dent of that work in Custer
county. He is, as we all know,
alive to what good farming
means to us. In order that Gus
ter county may be we'll represent
ed there, he suggests that we
have a manager in each precinct
who will see to it that several of
his neigbors, young and old, en-
gage in planting one acre of
corn with the best seed they can
find for their locality, and give
that corn special attention.
Thorough bed corn would be pre-
ferablc, if we'll acclimated. .
All those entering the contest
had better send their names to
Secretrry Jules Haumont, at Bro
ken Bow, so that they may get
all the bulletins, which will be
issued on corn growing. 1t is
hoped that there will be a reward
for those whose corn score over
IS per cent Last year man
from Pawnee county brought
home over $500 in corn premiums
from Chicago.
Wheat, oats and barley will
also enter into the contest, and
we hope that Custer county will
be we'll represented in that line,
for thousands of people from all
over the United States will see
those exhibits. Let every pre-
cinct get interested in this mat
ter, and do not fail to send in the
name of your precinct manager.
Each one will pick the best
fifty ears out of his corn, and
one expert will then go over it
again and pick the best twenty
out of that, before sending it to
| Omaha. Your exhibit, may or
may not at your selection, Ior as
may be later deemed best, for the
salty of the exhibit, compete in
our local contests at the differen
fairs.
The county fair will offer
premiums to encourage those who
enter into this work, and will see
to it that the exhibits reach
IOmaha in good shape and with
out expense to the contestants.
| The real estate men in the diff
ferent localities ought to take a
special interest in this for a good
exhibit at the corn exposition
from Custer county will adver'
tise us more favorably than any.
thing else we can do.
| Let Jus take hold, and make
this success for Custer county.
Address all communications to
]. d. Ream or to Jules Houmont,

The boost in the price of meat
is the natural sequence to the
hysterical actions of the cattle
men last fall-who disposed of
their holdings at sacrifice prices
because they feared there would
be long drawn out panic. So
much poor stuff was rushed to
market that the country was left
without the usual amount of cat
tie to fatten for this season and
good meat is now scarce. The
high price, therefore, is only the
natural result. This is, at least,
the explanation of the trust-and
the trust ought to know. There
will be some steak eaters, how.
ever, who will decline to give il
credence.

And now Hearst's papers are
finding fault because Mr.. Taft
insists upon thinking some of his
own thoughts, and does not in
tend to say Amen to everything
Roosevelt has said and done.
This indicates how impossible it
is to please Iall the people in
American politics, and especially
that class of people who intend
under any and all circumstances
to be displeased.
