Urging Its Construction.
CALLAWAY, Neb Jan. 1S-(Special)-
The citizens Of Logan county, well as
the citizens Of Arnold at the western edge
of Custer county, have held meetings to
devise plans to obtain a railroad. Arnold
is some twenty miles northwest of Galloway,
while Candy. the county seat and only
town In Logan county, is twenty miles
further to the northwest. The people of
these localities are compelled to travel this
distance to the railroad, usually when the
weather is too bad for them to do any
thing else, in order to market their pro-
ducts and secure their supplies Hundreds
Of dollars are spent yearly to get the
freight of the inland stores hauled from
the railroad. These people want the X.
& b. II. line extended from Galloway, or
the line from Pleasantown built on up the
South Loup valley. They are now in touch
with a Canadian construction company, and
an expert engineer has been promised by
this company to be here shortly and &c
over the line.

Alonzo Ritterbush.

Alonzo Ritterbush, one of the oldest
pioneers of Dickey county, responded
to the final call that comes to a man
here below, on Thursday of last week,
April 9th, after lingering illness of
many weeks.
Mr.. Ritterbush was born in Eden,
Vermont, Feb. 9th, 1886, He was
married to Miss Mary Field in 1861.
In 1882 he and his family came to
North Dakota settling first at James
town. Some four years later the fam
lily removed to Oakes where they have
resided ever since.
During their long years of residence
in this city, Mr.. Ritterbush with his
son William have been engaged in the
business Of contractors and builders.
By far the larger number of business
blocks and residences in Oakes and
many in the surrounding country have
been built by them, monuments all to
the ability and faithfulness of a man
who has been most conscientious about
his work.
MIR. Ritterbush came to Oakes when
our city was in its beginning and neigh.
bors were not many but being possessed
of the true pioneer spirit Mr.. Ritter.
bush has always proven himself, under
the varying circumstances that have
prevailed, to be true friend and neigh
bor and earnest advocate of everything
calculated to further the progress Of
the state and community that he hat
adopted as his.
The final illness seems to have beer
the outcome of an accident met will

when Mr.. Ritterbush suffered seyer,
fall the effects of which he has neve
seemed to fully overcome, the acciden
fastening weakened condition tha

| Those nearest of kin left by Mr.
Ritterbush are his wife and his sol
William and family, all of Oakes.
| The funeral was held at the home o.
| Union street Saturday afternoon, tn

81 to SO on a Twelve Event Meet
With a Possibility of SO Points.

Saturday at II o'clock the LaMoure
track team droye into Oakes in two
autos and two or three other rigs and
took dinner at the New Hav m Hotel.
1t began to rain just before their ar
rival, and for time, it seemed doubt
full as to whether the field meet that
had been planned could be pulled off.
However, at the appointed time the
meet began and from the first was
favorable to Oakes. Quite a number
of ladies from both Oakes and La
Moure were out to see the contest, even
though it was damp and rainy, and
when success came our way, the Oakes
High School girls showed their loyalty
by always being ready with yell.
Frank Stanton proved an excellent yell
master, for when the girls failed to
follow, he yelled anyway. The final
victory was 81 to 80 in favor Of Oakes.
The points were made as follows:

TAMMANY SHAMEs HER ENEMIES

Judging from the comments of the
New York World and almost the en-
tire republican press, one would have
thought, when the fight was on for
the election of an United States SEN
ator to succeed Depew in New York,
that nothing good could come out of
Tammany Hall. That that political
organization was putrid to the core,
yet note how those papers, without ex-
ception, speak in praise of Senator
o German. Governor Dix says that
he will rank with the ablest statesmen
the senate has ever known. The
World pays him fine tribute and
says that he will make an excellent
impression upon the progressive dem
ocrats in every part of the country.
So it is evident that Tammany Hall
has been villified and scandalized. An
organization that can give birth to
such an heroic figure as Senator O'Gor-
man must have drunk deep at the well
of genuine democracy and nourished
its members upon the political teach
ings of Jefferson and Jackson and Til
den, and deserves well of its fellow
citizens.
