FARMER SMITH CHARGES
HANS WITH STEALING cow

J. J. Smith, a farmer living just north
of Florence. caused the arrest yesterday
afternoon of Fred Hans, a Washington
county farmer. accusing him of stealing
first-class cow more than six months
ago. Hans formerly was a special officer
for the Northwestern railroad. The charge
against him is grand larceny.
More than six months ago Smith missed
his bovine, one that he highly priced. He
started an investigation and located her
on Hans farm. Not having sufficient
evidence to charge Hans with stealing
the COW, Smith simply started a replevin
suit and took possession OF the animal.
When sheriff's deputy appeared with a
replevln writ Hans made no resistance,
but promptly surrendered the COW. He
said he had purchased her for sS5 and
hated to lose the money. but II she was
Smiths he was welcome to her.
Since then Smith has been trying to
secure evidence Of theft Of the COW by
Hans.

WEBSTER Is CHOSEN CHAIRMAN
Administration Of the President En-
Observation-Disclosures Named for
the Mia state Mass Meet
ing Mt LincOIn.

Members of the Douglas County Taft
Republican club, gathered at the Hotel
Rome Saturday. unanimously endorsed
President William Howard Taft for re-
nomination and declared that the record
OF his administration was sufficient
reason for loyal republicans supporting
hinT in the next national campaign.
A motion was passed to forward him
greetings at Washington and apprise him
of the action of tho club, which Is COM
posed Of 96s Douglas county, Omaha and
South Omaha business and professional
men.
The permanent organization Of the club
was effected with the election OF John
L. Webster as chairman without a dis
senting vote. Mr.. Webster was en-
powered TO appoint twenty-five vice
presidents to handle the interests of the
organization.
Joseph Morrow was chosen secretary
and a committee consisting of s. A.
Searle. A. w. Jefferis. M. L. Learned,
Charles l.. Saunders and David Anderson
was appointed by the chairman to ar
range accommodations for 800 delegates
to the republican mass meeting at Lin
coin on December 10. Delegates to the
number of 100 were selected at the meet
ing. Any member of the club may, upon
application, be named delegate.
Preceding the organization of the club
Mr.. Webster was appointed chairman
and called for speeches from A. w. JEFF
ferris and Judge Ben Baker. Both re-
sponded with praise for the president and
| approval OF his administration as thor
oughly effective and businesslike.
Denouncing the dolngs OF such men as
Lincoln Steffens, whose attempt to plant
the belief that he had swayed the courts
in the MCNAMARA case, was exploded, as
casting discredit on the courts. Mr.. JEFF
ferris declared that the courts were not
designed to represent either a majority
or minority opinion and judges should
therefore not be,subject to recall" Presi-
dent Taft's action in vetolng the measure
was cited as another working OF his
numerous constructive and conservative
| policies.

Wayside Wisdom.

A train of thought may run off the
track.
Self-preservation is the cheapest
part of valor.
One quail on toast is better than
two in the bush.
A man is not necessarily honest
because he is poor.
Sorrow is the one friend which
nothing can ALLEVIATE.
The aim of mans life should be
to hit the bulls eye of success.
Learning the ropes is no advantage
to a man after he has been hanged.
Things are not what they SEEM
Even Truth 1ies-at the bottom of a
well.
Lightning is something that strikes
a man without giving him a chance
to strike back.

Between
Ourselves

"High grade"
Ever stop to think what a poor,
much-abused expression this is?
1t has done yeoman service in the
advertising field for many years.
This little expression covereth a
multitude of publicity sins. 1t is
used as a cloak for all sorts of
shortcomings. 1t is used and
used and used-in season and out
and in describing both the good
and the bad.
These words MEAN something
at this store. We realize the true
worth Of the expression, and you
may be sure we use it ONLY
when we feel that ii should be
used.
For us to exploit an article as
"high grade" is sufficient proof
that it is high grade.
Go over the papers and maya
zines some time-just for the fun
of it-and see how many wonder
full uses this phrase is put to.
High grade" is an acrobatic ex-
preston, truly.
