This annual fitting here and

lateness of the coming Of the

1t seems as if the majority OF
well-to-do people, in society or

really is nothing more delight

and it is no wonder that every
year an ever increasing number
of people are forming the habit.

changed to the elevated road.
This bridge was the first to span
the East river and was counted
at the time as a wonderful piece
Of engineering. 1t is a massive
structure, very wide and is di-

for foot passengers Only few

a candidate for every office on

coroner. This Office was left
open for Jesse Candy, who had
announced that he would run for
something, but Jesse says the
coroner's Job did not look good
to him and that he really wanted
to run for county judge.
A total of nineteen Republi-

while the Democrats are salts
fed with thirteen. The Repub-

supervisor against Ed Foley in

The above is clipped from the
Columbus Telegram, a paper
published in Columbus, Nebras-
ka. The electric lighting fran
chise was granted to Early about
May 10th, and the franchise pro-
vided that it should be forfeited
by Early unless he began work
on the installation of the plant
here within sixty days. His
time for beginning work expired
July 10th. He was in the city a
few days previous to that date
and looked the city over for
site, but did not buy one. The
status Of his franchise seems
to be some what in doubt. Some
people believe that he can still
hold it, while others are of the
opinion that his inactivity
makes it null and void.

property which for many years has
laid covered with brambles, furze,
