CAN THEY CAPTURE VILLA?
Now that l'ancho Villa has retreated to his mountain haunts,
where for many years, while operating as a bandit, he defied the auth
orities of Mexico, can the United States troops find and capture himt
That they will take him, dead or alive, if they find him is a foregone
conclusion, but the finding him is the big job.
It is believed in this country that the detachment of the United
States army will prove to be much more efficient, even in the wilds of
Mexico, than the soldiers of that country. Not only are the Ameri
can Roldiers better trained and better armed and equipped, but they
will have the assistance of the squadron of aviators for scouting,
something that the Mexicans never dreamed of in their efforts to cap
ture the bandit Villa in the mountains.
OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR BRYAN
Every citizen of western Nebraska who can possibly do so ought
to take advantage of the opportunity that will soon be given the peo
ple of this part of the state to hear W. .. Tlryan, regardless of party
affiliation or whether they endorse his position on public issues or not.
There are two sides to every question. No doubt many people
already have their minds made up, thru prejudice, cither favorable or
unfavorable to Mr. Bryan, but it is wiser to form one's opinions by
the exercise of reason, after obtaining all the facts possible bearing
on the issues. Prejudice is a poor guide.
Without either endorsing or condemning, in advance of his ad
dress, what he may say here, The Herald wishes to remind its readers
that he is a well posted man and able speaker, his sincerity few if any
will deny, and it is more than probable that every intelligent, fair
minded person can derive more benefit from hearing his discussion of
Ihe vital issues of the present day than can be obtained by listening
to the spoutings of the average curbstone politician.
THREE CENTS PER POUND FOR STEER
Three cents per pound, less expenses amounting to $5.99, is what
a Wyoming ranchman recently received for a steer sold on the South
Omaha market, that is, he recently received the pay, but the steer was
sold nearly twenty-two years ago. Here is the incident as related in
Clay, Hobinson & Co.' Live Stock Report:
After nearly twenty-two years, Con Sheehan, a ranchman on the
Sweetwater, has reccivoM .t'29.89 in payment for a steer which was
marketed at Chicago in 1894. The. money was transmitted bv the
Wyoming Stock Growers' Association, which has been holding it
since September, 1894, when its inspector at Chicago discovered a
steer branded with a cross curl C in a shipment made by .7. M. Carey
& Bro., from Casper. Not until recently was it established that the
cross curb C cattle were owned by Sheehan Bros., a firm of which Con
Sheehan is the surviving member.
The delivery of the money recalls that twenty-two years ago Wy
oming beef was bringing only .T cents on (he Chicago market, which
was the best market to which Wyoming stockmen could ship at that
time. The Sheehan steer weighed 1,196 pounds and brought $35.88.
The difference between the selling price and the price which Sheehan
received alter twenty-two years was deducted for expenses of inspec
tion and discovery.

SOLICITORS MOVE ON
Three Hubscriptlon Solid torn for nr
lous Publications Ijeave on Ad
vice from Police
After spending a couple of days in
Alliance the first of the week, three
solicitors, two men and a lady, moved
on at the suggestion of the city police
officials who notified them that they
would have to discontinue the "rough
stuff." These parties were soliciting
subscriptions to various publications
which was all right and to which no
objections was made but the niasner
In which they went after their vic
tims was what was objected to. They
would block the street In front of a
prospect and Insist on showing their
proposition whether the person was
Inclined to listen to them or not. If
one solicitor had a party cornered the
other two would come up and about
the only way a person could get rid
of the three would be to "fall" for
the proposition.
Marshal Wheeler told them to go
ahead with their work but the first
time they blocked the street or stop
ped a person against his will they
would be taken into police court and
they evidently concluded that it
would be slim picking if they were
compelled to give up the crude meth
ods to which they were accustomed.

W. F. STOECKER
Nebraska' Democratic Candidate
FOR GOVERNOR
(Continued from page 1)
but the fourth party, the public, has
thus far failed to take any particular
interest.
He quoted figures showing the
enormous decrease in the percentage
of accidents during the few years the
employers have been waging a cam
paign against useless accidents.
In referring to the responsibility
assumed by the government he stated
that there are numerous devices the
railroads are compelled by the gov
ernment to adopt for the safety of
employes and the traveling public,
and said that every accident on the
railroads must be reported to the
government.
Rev. Y'oung In opening his sermon
stated that while the Safety First
movement probably originated in the
field of railroading It has spread to
the entire Industrial world with re
sults that are most flattering.
"In spite of the fact that we are in
the midst of fighting nations today,
we are considering human life at a
much higher value than ever before
and we are reticent, indeed, to see
any carelessness or undue risks take
the life, or maim for life, any of our
fellow beings.
"In this great democratic country
where we have learned long since to
realize that every man is on an equal
basis with every other man. and the
only difference in his position is in
his willingness or lack of willingness
to add his mite to the progressive de
velopment of the country in general,
we must so organize our various In
dustrial programs as to preserve the
physical well-being of every one con
cerned to the fullest degree. The
happiness and development of Amer
ican homes are dependent upon those
who come in contact with dangers
common to railroad life. Both the
employes and the general public owe
it to their fellow men to use every
possible precaution for siifety."
Mr. Young stated that there is
quite a similiarity between his work
and the work of the Safety First de
partment, but, addressing Mr. Swit
zer, he said. "I've got the best of the
safety first game, Mr. Switzer; while
you are looking after the physical
safety of the people I am working for
their spiritual safety."
He said that one of the first com
mands of safety first was made by the
Saviour when he said, "Watch and
pray, that you enter not into tempta
tion." Mr. Young's address was closed
with an explanation of the safety first
pictures trhown on the screen. These
pictures are used by the Safety First
department of the Burlington in their
educational work along this line and
have been prepared not solely for
railroad employes but also for the
general public.
These pictures showed dozens of
ways in which people are injured or
killed on the railroad and also show
ed the results of such accidents. In
many cashes, statistics show that the
accidents are the result of careless
ness and recklessness on the part of
individuals, and the worst of it is thai
the individual doesn't suffer alone,
but innocent parties, dependent mem
bers of the household, the wife and
children, are forced to suffer. Tres
passing is said to be the cause of a
large percent of the accidents that
occur.
The meeting was closed by a short
talk by Mayor Romig, who thanked
the people in behalf of the railroad
company for their Interest in the
meeting, and by the singing of t he
national hymn. "America," by the
audience.
