Favorable Prospects for Canal.
Mr. J. E. Riley returned t Flatts
moutli the first of the week, and lias
since been industriously engaged in
furthering the interests of the water
power canal project. He reports that
much progress has already lieen made,
and that the project w ill certainly be
a success. In company with two engin
eers skilled in that kind of work, Mr.
Riley put in several days last week
along the route of the proposed canal
making a general examination of the
country, until rainy weather put a stop
to further work in that line. They
found things generally favorable, and
w ill go over the land on loth sides of
the Platte river and make a more
thorough examination later. Several
out-of-town parties desire to become
interested in the proj.-ct and are
enthusiastic over the prospects for the
complete success of the project.

Deserves a Re-Election.
The good record made by Prof. W.
C. Smith during the past two years as
county superintendent of schools fully
entitles him to a re-election for a sec
ond term. The professor is well lasted
on educational matters and has had
considerable experience as an in
structor, bavin? been principal of the
Weeping Water high school foi two
years, and principal of the Kim wood
schools for two years. He is a holder
of a state professional certificate, a
university diploma conferring the de
cree of Bachelor of Arts, and has bis
post-graduate work for a second degree
well towards completion.
During liis present term of ollice he
has made successful ellorts to raise the
standard of the teaching force, and
has made special efforts on behalf of
the older 1kvs and girls in the country
school districts. He has also devoted
considerable time and attention to
ward increasing the interest of parents
and school oflicers in the work of the
schools, which has not been without
effect.
The experience gained by Mr. Smith
during his lirst term in the oflicc
makes him a more valuable man than
ever to the schools of Giss county, and
as it has always been customary in this
county to re elect a com i tent and
satisfactory official to a second term,
he undoubtedly will and should lie
chosen as county suiierintendent for
the next two years.

Probable Incendiary Fire.
F. G. Egenberger's stable on lower
Main street, near the R. & M. depot,
was discovered to be on lire last Thurs
day night, and an alarm turned in,
but before the firemen arrived on" the
scene the lire was extinguished, liefore
it had gained much headway. How
this fire started is a mystery, but indi
cations pointed plainly to the fact
that it was undoubtedly started pur
posely. The next night Friday the
stable again caught lire, which had
made such progress before discovered
that the building and contents were
totally consumed, together with a
stable belonging to Mrs. ("1 order situ
ated just across the alley. Several
smaller structures were also burned,
and the beer storage house of the
Fred Krug Brewing company was
badly damaged. Four head of horses
which were in Egenberger's stable
were burned to death. The delivery
team belonging to L. B. Egenberger
was taken out alive, but the horses
were so badly burned that they were
killed to end their sufferings. Fred
Egenberger's team - was burned to
death in their stalls. Two delivery-
wagons and a quantity of feed was
also burned. Mrs. Gorder's stable,
just across the alley from Egenber
ger's, was also totally destroyed, to
gether with a carriage, some hay and
grain and other property. This barn
contained a horse and two cows, which
were safely taken out by Miss Louise
Gorder before the tire reached them.
The Krug Rrewing company's lieer
storage house, situated just east of
Egenberger's stable, caught fire, and
owing to its inllammable construction
hollow walls was nearly destroyed
before the firemen succeeded in extin
guishing the flames. The residence of
Mrs. Eaton, and other houses in the
neighborhood, were threatened, but

Fortunately there was very little

have been much greater, as the barns

The firemen were somewhat slow in
arriving at the lire with their appar

SItzman Admits the Shooting.
The mystery surrounding the shoot
ing of George A. Pease two weeks ago,
during the progress of a dance at the
Burlington house, has been cleared up
by the admission of Charles Sitzman
that he did the shooting. William
Fielders was present at the dance, and
was placed under arrest and charged
with the shooting, and while the offi
cers had no direct evidence they were
satisfied that young Sitzman was also
implicated in the a Hair.
Pease was shot in the mouth, and
for several days was unable to talk
and tell the officers just what hap
pened and how he received his wound,
but he identified Fielders as one of
his assailants. Neither Fielders or
Sitzman would tell what the knew of
the affair, and the story of how Pease
was shot was decidedly improbable,
when it was stated that he was run
ning away from the boarding house
when he was shot in the mouth.
Sitzman was arrested last Thursday,
and he and Fielders were given a pre
liminary hearing before Justice Archer
on Friday, when Sitzman practically
admitted that he did the shooting,
lie said that during the night of the
dance someone threw a brick through
the window, and that he secured his
brother's revolver and fired a shot
which Pease undoubtedly caught in
his teeth.
Justice Archer held Sitzman for
trial at the next term of district court,
and his bond was fixed at $.m, in de
fault of which he was confined in the
county jail. Fielders was held as a
witness, under $100 bond, which was
furnished by his attorney, T. Frank
Wiles. Country school districts can do well

McBride Deserves Promotion.
To one who is fully acquainted with
the administration of affairs in the
sheriff's ollice in Cass county during
the past dozen or fifteen years, the
present administration stands out
prominently as being the best during
this time. This fact is due to the
general honesty of purrxise, integrity
and competency of W. I. Wheeler,
whose conduct of the ollice during the
past four years lias been generally very
satisfactory.
It is a fact well known to many cit
izens that in times past there has been
dishonesty practiced in the sheriff's
office, there has been rascality in the
sheriff's office, there has been immor
ality in the sheriff's office, but during
the past four years the administration
of the affairs of the office has been
clean, which is so well and generally
known to the people of Cass county
that at the end of Sheriff Wheeler's
lirst term of office he was re-elected
for a second term.
One of the first official acts of Sheriff
Wheeler, when taking charge of the
office four years ago, was the appoint
ment of John McEride as his deputy,
and the wisdom of such appointment
has been made fully manifest. Among
other duties assigned to Mr. McEride
has been the care and keeping of the
jail, and sd well and carefully has this
duty been attended to that in four
years not a single prisoner has escaped
from that institution, a record that
has not been equalled by any officer in
charge of the county jail during the
past twenty years.
When Sheriff Wheeler's excellent
official record is fully considered it
must be conceded that John McBride
is entitled to a share of the credit for
making the same, and that upon Mr.
Wheeler's retirement. from the office
the first of next year John McEride
fully deserves and should lie promoted
from deputy to sheriff.
The present administration in this
office has been very satisfactory, and
there is every reason to believe that
this condition would continue with
Mr. McBride as sheriff, and when the
matter is submitted to the voters next

month they will undoubtedly decide
that no change is desired in the
method of conducting the sheriff's
office.

"Shore Acres."
It is said a fortune has been spent
for the roast turkey dinners used in
James A. Heme's realistic production
of his great masterpiece, "Shore
Acres." The dinner served in the
second act of this backwoods idyl is a
genuine New England feast and costs
on an average about eight dollars. As
"Shore Acres" has lieen played about
twenty-five hundred times it ln-comes
an easy matter to figure out the
amount of money spent in this way.
Many managers would long ago have
prepared a papier mache bird and used
oltier imitat im articles of food, but
Mr. Heme insists on having the genu
ine article and the best that money
can buy. I'erhajis j-ou think eating
tin key dinners every day is a treat for
the actors: don't you believe It. The
very smell of this toothsome Thanks
giving fow l satisfies them and they eat
;u little as possible. The remnants
make a feast for the stage hands, and
how they do enjoy the annual coining
of "Shore Acres." It is a memorable
event. This play is announced for
production at the l'armele theatre
tomorrow night, Saturday, October
lth.
