NEW TIME "METHoD" REBUkED.
Citizens Ticket Elected With The
Exception Of One.

The village election held last Tues
day, passed off quietly with almost
a complete victory for the cttizen's
ticket.
The result of the vote was as fol-
lows: F. e. Austin, 229; John F.
Gaines. 225; F. G. Ticknor, 1893; M.
C. Swain, 1874; j. B. Stanfield, 1872;
Richard H. Bennett, 127; F. Engle-
hart, 112; NJ c. Helm, S3; Elvin d.
Meserole, 73.
The defeat of the municipal ticket
is not direct defeat for any indi-
vidual candidate but a direct rebuke
of the New Time Method" which
is becoming obnoxious to right mind
ed citizens.
The citizens of Mountain Home
have placed its destinies in the, hands
of competent men whom we believe
Will not abuse the confidence placed
in them.

OMAHA LAND SHOW.

1t has been shown that an exposi-
ton, the purpose of which is to turn
the stream of emigration, which has
been going from the middle west to
the south and to Canada, toward the
west, can be made an annual event.
This dis the opinion of the manage
ment of the Omaha Land Show, ex-
pressed by the announcement that a
second show will be held.
The first colonist rate March II,
saw the greatest number of people
pass through Omaha to the West ever
carried over the railroads i'm a single
day. In addition to many trains go
ing out i'm a series of sections, spec
ial trains carried many privately or
vestors
A stat ement of the aims of the
show by c. G. Rosewater, general
manager of The Omaha Bee and The
Twentieth Century Farmer, the pubh-
cations which stand back of the ex-
position, follows:
"It is something more than show;
more than merely an instrument for
the use of the land man i'm selling
land.
ut lis more than mere collection
OF the best products of the West
1T lis none than great object les
sen in the best methods of agricul-
ture.
1T was not started for the purpose
of making money in theshow business
or to attract crowds to Omaha.
"The object of this exposition is
to meet a great vital problem-to
stem the tide of emigration now go
ing to the ncath and TO the south
and to direct this stream westward.
TheSecond Omaha Land Show will
be held from October 16 to 2S. These
dates Will give the fruit raising sec.
tons of the west a splendid chance
TO show their products at their best.
The Land Show will be held at
the Coliseum in Omaha, the great
structure where for many years the
knights of AK-SAR-BEN have held
their revels. I'm this building the
great of the nation have been initiat-
ed into the mysteries of the knights
distinguished visitors from every
State and every land have been among
them. There Theodore Roosevelt and

To fit this gigantic building for
the purposes of the land show it will

In mission design. The interior will
undergo artistic treatment. which in
adding to the beauty of the structure
will give greater room for the ex-
hIbirts, the splendid court of Honor,
the beautiful electric fountain and

to delay the reclamation and irriga-
