The election of JSdgerton would
not only be a disgrace to the state
hut a public calmity.
Indication point to the"eledion of
their repnblican county and utate
ticket by creditable inajontes.
THK republiran party in very
anxious to nettle the quest of party
supremacy, with the democratic
party, on the issue of free silver
and free trade-
in selecting a district judge there
should be no hesitancy between an
uble jurist and a political shyster.
Our courts of justice should not be
tampered with by elevating incom
petent men to the position of chief
tribunal.
THE OlbTHICT JUDGE SHIP
It in a supriwe to nearly all that
'the democratic convention should
nominate Travin for the jude-ehip,
in view of the fact that the party
has within its ranks men poeaeHS
in better qualilii utioiii, and iik-ii
capable of poling u much lurcr
vote. He is not a man that would
grace the position with becoming
dignity, and the position could not
receive the reepect, from the lar at
din. Mr. Travis is
everywhere it-warded as a cronic
office e-ker; a member of no par
ticular political party, unless there
is an opportunity to feed at the
nubiic iiuiih: not a tr.zn who de
sires io attain poititionM through
the avenue of true ruerit, but rather
by wire pulling and other renorts
to thwart the true will of the peo
ple. In view of thin it would not
only be an injustice to the citizens
of the district, but it would be a dis
grace to Cans county to have this
ignoramus elected In the ponitioii.
THE llKKALK believes that our
people have too much respect for
the citixens of Otoe county and
think too much of their own credit
to vote for such a man even though
he has been forced upon the party
as the most available man.
We are confident that the better
element of voters of all partiea will
vote for Judge Chapman, a imin
who posseHMes every cssetitial ele
ment fur a 'popular judge as indi
cated by his n-iord in the past.
We cannot afford to dispense with
the service of a man who has hern
weighed in the ballance and not
foutKlewiinting ami elevate to this)
position an incompetent, inexper
ienced lawyer and n. , chronic olliee
eker.

It was given in cars of an Indian
woman to nurse and soon showed no

To th question as to when, where,

they are least expected. Th commer

draw indemnity for an injury received
wbil winding clock. Th deutlr.t
who endeavors to protect himself against
possible personal injury whil using hi
tools is disabled by a cinder in his eys.
It is to be noted, however, that more ac
cident In proportion to population oc
cur in th south, ths southwest and th
west than tn th northern, tb middle
and th eastern states. Th older and
more closely settled portions of thecoun
try ars the safer one. A to tbe times

sidewalks, and midsummer, with its
groat variety of outdoor occupations,
are especially prolific of accident.

HE OPPOHTUNITY OF A

Anions other reasons why it ia
better to invest in South Park than
laewherc in the city, arc theae:
Property Is more saleable if you
wiah to Hell, more rentable if you
wish to rent; if looking for an in
crease in value.no other part of the
city will compare with it in prospect
The 5th ward comjWHed largely of
South Park, lees than three year
ajro could hardly tnuater up a vote

was 13S and all were not polled. It
has been less than two year since
the city invited us into the corpor

five years past almost doubling its

has taken regnrding public im

of the great Missouri Pacific rail

er great trunk line and competing
market: the constant increasing
pay roll of the C. H. A y. shops, to
gether with many other well known
reasons, assure a steady and perma
nent advance in realty, which will
doubtless effect South Park more
favorably than any other portion of

It is not so much the speculator

hence there are no fictitoua values

why the present is u most desirable
