The Sewer Problem.

A special election has been ca He'd
for August 10Th, which will give the
citizens of Red Cloud an opportunity
to decide whether or not the city shall
have sewerage system. Plans an
specifications have been prepared 10y
a company Of construction engineers
and presented to the city council for
inspection. These plans have been in
spected thoroughly by this body and
approved by them.
Several weeks ago a delegation of
business men and citizens made trip
to Superior, to inspect the system in
use in that city and reported that the
system in use there was a success in
every way and that the citizens of
that town were entirely satisfied with
the same.
This proposition was once before
submitted to our citizens, but was not
favorably looked upon by the ma jority,
owing TO the fact that it was not thor
oughly understood by many, while
others offered the argument, that what
was good enough for Red Cloud during
the past thirty years. was good enough
for Red Cloud Of today-this, however.
is not practical, rs Red Cloud has, in
every other way, advanced, our 5usi-
ness section has been remodeled, our
residence district improved, a modern

ed, in fact everything possible has been
| done to make our citizens feel proud
to call Red Cloud their home.
Everybody is advocating "a bigger
and better Red Cloud Toenable it to
advance, we must reach out for more
manufacturing and mercantile estab
| lishments. To secure these establish
ments, we NEST provide for them
Before we can induce manufacturers
or promoters Of other Industries to
locate in our city, we must furnish
some means for disposing of the waste
water, refuse, etc which accumulates
in such places. AS it is our steam
laundry is hampered by lack Of means
of disposal its waste water. A cream
cry would. meet the same fate. Can
ming and:preserving factories would re-
quire a sewer to dispose of their refuse,
In fact about the fast thing any pro.
spective manufacturer would do wonld
be to look into the matter Of sewerage
before locating here.
Another fact to be considered, is the
health of our rci,i2ens-perfsct sanitary
conditions cannot exist while cess
pools are in use, as DO one can have a
cess pool and a well on the same lot
and be assured of pure water.

The republicans of California
are having a merry row over the
victory Of President Wilson in
that state. Some of the repuhli-
cans say that Governor johnson.
who was elected to the United
States Senate. did not give him
proper support. Governor john
son comes back by saying that a
few petty politicians and a GER
tain newspaper in Los Angeles so
misused Mr.. Hughes on his visit
to California that it was mpOs-
sihle for him to put Hughes over.
1t does not seem to have occurred
to the gentlemen that the people
were satisfied with the way Pres
ident Wilson directed the affairs
of the nation and wanted him for
another four years.

A Good Roads Meeting.

John NJ. Malang, of Joplin,
state vice president of the Jeffer-
son Highway, addressed large
crowd of good roads enthusiasts
at the court house Tuesday night
on the subject Of Good Road
Construction" Mr.. Malang has
made a study of road building and
speaks as an expert. He advocates
gravel roads for Bates county, and
says a first class gravel road can
be made across the county at a
cost Of from $1,000 to 1920 Der
mile. He would get the gravel at
Joplin, and says that it can be
laid down at Butler at 50 cents
per cubic yard and can be put on
the road fer an additional 40
cents. Mr.. Malang has been over
tho road several times and made
a careful study Of the conditions
and no doubt his figures are about
right.

ATRAoEDY AT MERwM
DR.. J. n. Martin Shot and Prob
ably Fatally Wounded by
T. W. Noteworthy.

A shooting scrape which will
probably result in the death OF Dr.
j. II. Martin, prominent phys'-
clan, took place at Mcrwin Tues
day morning about 10 80 o'clock.
At about that hour T. W Holes
worthy, station agent for the Kan
sas City Southern railroad, en-
tered DR.. Martins office and al
ter a few words drew a 30 calibre
revolver and shot DIR. Martin
through the abdomen. DIR. Martin
grappled with Noteworthy and
kept him from shooting again.
Noteworthy surrendered to the
officers and was brought to But
Ter and lodged in Jail to await the
result of DR.. Martins injuries. DR..
Martin was taken to a hospital IN
Kansas City, where an operation
disclosed that the bullet had
pierced the intestines in nine
places. The surgeons hold out
very little hope for his recovery.
There, was no witness to the
and it is impossible to
give the details Of the affair.
There are several stories in cir
culation as to the causes leading
I'D to the trouble, one of which is
that Noteworthy 'sewife told him
some sort of story Monday
night about Dir. Martin which so
inflamcd his mind that he deter
mined to kill ethe physician.
