GOING TO BUILD.

George F. Trump & Co, have
made arrangements with Martin
Musil, who owns the building occu-
pied by the Gem Drug Store, to have
an addition 25x40 feet in size, built
on the rear of the present building,
and work on the same will be begun
in a short time. This viii give the
proprietors OF the drug store build
ing almost twice as large as the pres
ent one, and with a basement under
the entire building, and equipped
with furnace heat, toilet, ETC., viii
be one Of the best buildings and most
desineable locations in the city. The
drug store has been greatly cramped
for room for some time, and the new
space to fix up the interior in a more
pleasing manner. They expect to
make speciality Of wall paper, and
win fix up a large department espec.
tally for this line. The present store
room to the rear is to be torn down
and as they have no space to store
their paper stock while the new
building is being erected they are
making very special prices in order
to dispose Of all Of their present
stock in this line. 1t will soon be the
time Of the year for spring house
cleaning, and this generally means
new wall paper for at least one or
more rooms, and great many have
been taking advantage Of their very
low prices to lay in a supply for
spring .-Eninwood Leared.

! COULD NOT WlN-eRYAN.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 2S.-william ].
Bryan, in speech here tonight at a
public meeting. definitely set at rest
reports that he might be induced a,
gain to make the race for the presi,
dency. In concluding his address. he
said:
1 am satisfied someone else can
poh more votes than myself, but | am
ready to enter upon a campaign IN
Oehaf Of a true Democrat with even
more vigor than that with which I
have fought at any time ON nv own
behalf"
Previously in his address which WAS
given under the auspices of no fac.
ton, according to former governor C.
5. Thomas, who introduced him. Mr.
Bryan declaDed that the party's ON.
ly chance of victory this fall was TO
nominate a progressive on a platform
that is progressive.
Speaking Of President Taft and for.
mer President Roosevelt, he said:
When have we ever had in the
nations history such a spectacle as
that of man coming into the presi.
dency ON the recommendation of one
man and going out of it on the con-
demnation of the same man?
And now it seems that they are
planning to violate precedents of a
hundred years by the nomination OF
the same man, in order, If possible,
to save the Republican party from
overwhelming defeat.
If l were to seek the nomination
again. it would be Just like some Re
publican to raise the. third term Is
sue and say that already had two
terms.
Il believe when a party has only
one man in 1t fit to be president II
would be better to bury the party and
start all over again"

David Scott Dodge, second son of
Mr.. and Mrs. D. D. Dodge, passed
away at the family home, 1919 Hol-
land street, at $50 a. m, Wednes-
day, the 2Sth., aged 90 years, 8
months and 10 days, from an illness
that had been troubling him since
childhood, but only in the past few
Years had become acute. All that
could be done for his comfort had
been done by his loving parents. but
What is to be will be, and their many
efforts availed them nothing.
Scott Dodge was born on the farm
a few miles northeast of Great Bend
attended school until he was about
fifteen years old. He was an exoep-
tionally bright boy, and particularly
so in music, being excellent with the
violin at a young age. Knowing his
own trouble, he was of a retiring dis
position, and not very we'll acquainte
with the young men of this locality.
He fought bravely against the inevi-
table, but at last, when every ounce
OF strength had been given up in the
fight, he passed away peacefully and
calmly, and crossed the dark river
where he is relieved Of his troubles

In the two years Mr.. Klieson has

made the company profit show

basis satisfactory to all parties.
Mr.. KlieSon has rendered his resig-

that he win go into business for him

The increased acreage and the pros
poets for the coming season warrant
the belief that the business will justi-
fly the investment. Besides the new
railroad will bring into this market a
new wheat country. Down this line
wheat has proven profitable, even
with the long haul to market, and
with the market facilities brought to
the land, the acreage will be greatly
increased in that section.

THE STORM.

Not since Washington spent the
winter at Valley Forge have we had
storm equal to that which hit this
section # the country last Saturday
night and grew continually worse un-
til Monday morning when it broke
away. leaving the streets filled with
drifts, the sidewalks impossible, the
railroad, the telephone and telegraph
Service demOrahzed, and everything
else torn UP that could be done by
genuine blizzaId. An old settler says
that in 1912 storm swept here eaTly
In January that was as bad as this
One, but as he is the only man here
now who was present at the time, his
story is not substantiated. But, hon
estly, and laying all jokes aside, the
storm that came Saturday was the
worst since 1886. We do not think
the weather was as cold this time as
then, but certainly she blew some,
ard showed some, and drifted some,
last Sunday. The streets were i'm
paSSable until the grader was pulled
Rnd pushed through. In some places
the snow in the streets was drifted
five or six feet high. We think the
prize snow bank of the town was in
front of the Democrat office, and it
was fully ten feet high. No suffer
ing, or no loss of stock is reported.
The city schools were dismissed for
two days. The railroads suffered the
greatest, traffic being absolutely de- |
mOralized. Tuesday afternoon five
west bound pasensger trains were
turned here and sent to Newton, to
proceed south over the Belen cutoff. |
No freight has been received, and so |
far as the branch lines are concerned,
there is nothing doing" The ne
deeming feature of the storm is that
1t means that much more added mois-
ture to soak into the ground.
The only damage the storm did so
far as we know, was the blowing in
Of plate glass window at the Ger
man-American bank, and caving in
the roof at the rear end of the
Friedeman garage.
