HASTINGS ,Neb., Feb. 1O.-The
murderer of Goldie Williams at Grand
Island, is believed to have been re-
sponsible for an attack made on Mar
garet Lay, 13-year-old school girl,
as she was returning from school when
she met a man who was driving a
buggy. He stopped and forced her to
get into the buggy, telling her that
he would take her to a lake about n
mile away and teach her to skate.
When he attempted to caress her she
stiuck him in the face, causing him to
drop the lines. She then jumped from
the buggy. The girl is now in Sc
rious nervous condition. The police
and county officials have joined in
the hunt for the man who is thought
to have driven over from Grand Island
after killing the Williams girl.

ER. EATON'S VIEWS ON
GAS FRANCHISE PROPOSITION

The application OF William X. Pc
tiers for a franchise to establish /.
Gas plant in Lakeland presents So
r.Ous business proposition TO the
council, the responsibilities of whic h
am willing to meet fairly and
Isquarely. In this matter the inter-
ests OF the City of Lakeland and its
Inhabitants are my chief concern.
While scrutinizing with painstakins
care the proposed rate in order 10
protect the citizens against impOs:-
tiCn, we should not impose terms
upon the promoters which would
make the investment unremunerative
or drive the investors from our city.
Every one who has written on the
subject joins in the statement that
I'VE want the gas. A gas plant in
Lakeland is indeed worth some
thing" and, if established, will great
~ benefit the owners of property. In
the first place it will bring a large
number OF people as investors who,
otherwise, will not come; and every
foot of lana IN Lakeland will increase
in value. instead of using wood at
$3.50 per cord tor running the ma
chinery OF the Electric Light and
Water plants, We can use gas and
save money thereby. The gas plant
will be a tax-paying proposition IS
well as other property. 1t does not
strike me as fair to sell the fran
chise, and, at the same time, impose
such terms as make the franchise Of
doubtful value, if not in fact finan-
cial hazard. II these people come
here they are at once part of us
and the newcomers are entitled to
consideration as well as the pioneers.
The comparative statement Of
prices for gas in other cities of Flor
ida shows that the rates asked for
are reasonable and just.
The establishment OF every enter
prise of this character is more or less
For myself | should
hope to see it a paying investment,
hut if it proves otherwise there is no
direct loss to the city.
If 1t succeeds, it becomes a great

and convenience to our people.

Mr.. REPUBLICAN VOTER
Are You Willing TO Have the Demo-
cratic Party Name the Republican
Candidate for PRESIDENT

This is just what the Democrats are
attempting to do all over the country
The Democratic newspapers are
breaking their necks to nominate Taft
and are historical In their denuncia-
ton Of Roosevelt
WHY? Because the Democrats
know THEY CAN BEAT TAFT in the
election IL he is nominated, and know
THEY CANNOT BEAT ROOSEVELT
Every Democrat everywhere knows
Roosevelt would be elected. This Ia
why the Democratic newspapers and
the Democratic politicians are break
ing their necks to keep Roosevelt from
getting the nomination-good business
on their part.
Suppose Roosevelt would prove a
weak candidate II nominated. would
the Democrats oppose his nomination
as they are now doing? Most GER
tainly not. TO BEAT ROOSEVELT
IN THE NOMINATION MEANS TO
EVERY DEMOCRAT THAT THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL. WIN
AT THE POLLS IN NOVEMBER.
These are plain facts that you cannot
get away from. Think It out for your.
self.
