Mr.. Thatcher gives a Chautauqua
audience a delightful hours entertain
ment. 1t is lecture-recital, but this
should not be interpreted to mean
dull dissertation on the theory OF vocal
music. The classics are discussed and
'snatches are sung from the celebrated
operas. Folk songs are explained as
to birth and history, and no one can
sing them better than Thatcher. I'm.
like many master musicians, he en-
Joys. the catchy, rollicdng popular
airs Of the day, and he has roper
toir that Is almost beyond conception.
The management likes Thatcher;
everybody who knows him likes
Thatcher, ana you will like Thatcher.
Just because he Is O musical genius 1t
does not argue that he is not clever
fellow to meet and whole souled
companion.

Correct Facts Concerning Omar Gle
MeekerS Death.

On account of the erroneous
publications which have appear
ed in various papers it has been
though best to publish the facts
of this sad affair as it really was.
On Monday morning July Is,
1910, several of the boys who
had been at work with the thrash
ing outfit were amusing them
selves at riding and various other
sports, when some one of the
number suggested going swim
ming; the rest of the boys assent
ed and the group were soon On
their way to the swimming pool.
Omar Glen Meeker was a
young man 19 years of age and
weighed about 170 lbs. He had
perfect physique and was an ath-
lete of rare ability but could not
swim at all.
On arrival at the swimmin q
place on the Ross Taylor farm
two miles north west of Berwyp,
the boys lmmediatly prepared to
go III swimming. Glen put on a
life preserver and went out into
deep water. He found it very
easy to swim with the preserver
to aid him and after practising
for while took off the preserver
10 let some of the other boys take
it. He thinking that the prac.
tise, which he had with the life
preserver had shown him how
to swim tried to do so and went
out where the water was toe
deep and went down. He came
up strangled and went down
again, as he came up again only
the top of his head came above
the water and the boys using al
their efforts could not save him
There were only two of the boys
who could swim and only one OF
them could dive and he could moi
dive deep enough to reach Glen
He went down a few minute:
before one o'clock and it wa:
after two before he was brought
out. He was in the water abour
one hour and twenty miutes.
Soon after he went down DR.
Willis Talbot was summoned

Communication from the Mayor.
TO THE CITIZENS OF BROKEN BOW.
Iwaut to call the attention OF

TO THE CITIZENS OF BROKEN BOW.
Iwant to call the attention OF
every citizens of Broken Bow to
the election next Tuesday.
There seems to be some misunder.
standing in regard to the City
Hall Bonds. Some people think
we contemplate building a fif-
teen thousand dollar City Hal,
while the facts are that if the
Bonds carry we contemplate
building a City Jail and fire
department and equip them
which will cost two thirds Of the
fifteen thousand AS you know
we have no jail now either City
or County and we will have to
build one independent if the
Bonds fail to carry, and we have
an up to date fire department or
equipment. If we should have a.
fire of any consequence, as you
will notice in the past, it is hard
for the boys to cope with it, as
they have no up to date equip
ment to fight with, and it seems
to me that a question that should
interest every citizen is good
fire equipment. Right here, |
hear some one say it will increase
NV taxes. Let any man who has
= 1850 schedule, sit down and
figure two mills on the dollar and
you won't miss it far. We will
suppose your assessed valuation
is one thousand dollars, there are
more that will go below that
than there are above, and two.
mills on the dollar would make
your taxes two dollars more and
and l would like to see the mar
in Broken Bow, who would not
be willing to pay s. year to see
a good building in place of the Ole
City Hall on the corner.
| also want to call your atten.
ton to the eight thousand dollar
bonds for the extension of the
water mains in all parts of the
City where they havey+ good fire
protection and to the outskirts Of
the city limits so we can invite
the people to come in who are or
the outside and getting the
bene fit of the city without help.
ing to pay the city taxes and who
are willing to come in as soon as
we show them We can take care OF
them, and give them water and
fire protection.
Now let every man who the
interest of better Broken Bow
at heart make a special eff or.
next Tuesday, and get out and
vote for City Hall, Fire Depart
ment aud equipment, City Jai0
and Water Main extension and
with the thirty five Thousand
dollar school building now uude
construction we will have a CITY
to be proud Of.

Old Settlers Meet.

The meeting OF the ola settlers
Wednesday in this city was
largely attend and good times
enjoyed.
1t was a pleasure to the pio.
neers Of 20 to 80 years ago to
meet on a common level and re-
count the days of yore.
The friendly hand shaking and
pleasant smiles with which they
greeted told of the occasion.
The program as printed was
practically carried out.
The only omission we observed
was the recitation by Miss Larson
who failed 10 respond to the call
of her name. The place was
admirably filled with poem by
Mrs. c. L. Gutterson.
The address of Judge Grimes
of North Platte, who was a prac-
toneer at the bar in the early
days of Custer county was both
able and interesting. 1t not only
commanded the attention of the
audience but was freq quently
applauded.
The officers elected for the
eDsuming year are:
President c. H. Jeffords, 1st.
vice president. w. H, Comstock,
End, vice president H. B. Schner-
niger, secretary E. II. Purcell,

and girls, the "tug of war" and

NEAR BEER SELLERS
WILL FIGHT LAW
TWO MORE PAY $50
APIECE TO THE COUNTY
Others Object to Fines and Through
Attorneys VIII Put up Ffght-Wm
Attempt to Prove Local Option Law
Null and Void.

Though another 500 vas collected
this morning from indicted sellers of
near beer, it nevertheless became ap-
parent that about 90 of the accused
men have no intention of pleading
guilty and will make a fight against
paying even a $50 fine. Indeed ii is
reported that Attorney J.. H. Raley
and ]. p. Winter will not only make a
fight for the men they represent but
will make an attempt to show that
the local option law in so far as 1t ap-
plies to Umatilla county should be
held to be null and void. The grounds
upon which they will attack the law
have not yet been announced.
Messrs Nordean and Duncan, both
of Weston, were the two men who
We're fined. They each pleaded guilty
to the charge contained in the indict-
ment, hat of violation of the local
option aw and like the others who
plead guilty were each fined $50. -Four
OF the "a indicted have not pleaded.
The Indictments against the clients
represented by Winter & Raley were
demurred to on the alleged grounds
that the facts alleged were not sufri-
cient to constitute a crime and for the
further reaso that the accusing
clause is defective. These are only
technical points, however, and were
simply brought up to secure the de-
lay necessary to perfect the plans of
the attorneys for the attack upon the
law.

CESSFULLY ADJUSTED TO
SATISFY ALL.
[uNIrrp rnrss LsAann wInr.l

Chicago, Dec. 10.-Paul Morton.
former secretary of the navy and
president of the Equitable Life As.
surance society, holds optimistic
views regarding the ultimate peace
able and successful adjustment of
questions regarding the relations Of
corporations with the public. Com
menting today on the United Press
interview obtained in New York
with Hiram Johnson, Governor
elect OF California, in which Johnson
promised corporation regulation and
more respect for the rights OF the
Individual in California, Morton
said
my observation has been that
where corporations ask and receive
more than they ought ~ have. their
gain is only temporary and they pay
dearly for anything they may have
seclred in the way of special privi-
lege.
Because the railroads have done
wrong in the past in specific cases,
II does not justify the public in do
