The first thing on the program after
the reading -of tbe ran, Vas the asking
of the cilfcrens (present for an expression
of theft- opinion trs to what the council '
should d fnft-gfird'to the question of

the streets should be lighted by a -sys-
tern of urc' HffMs. lie was followed 1,
anothereakei who in the imaroagretMl
with him.Hmt thought that Kittn hr.r-

surprise, when he got cut on the streets,
which were Kghted mJy by 16 candle

entire stretch which -.was a mile, .-well

: at each intersection. He' thought ' that

i better than, a small- mmeber of lights of

the buildings at Mattsmouth wrecked
by 'the July flood have not been repair

Buys CanpfoS Uros.' Circus.
W. P. Hafi, -of lincaster, Mo., ha
purchased tfee Ciampbell Bros. ' circus,
and will take possession of the same a!
the close of tbe present-season. It wili
be remembered thEt 'the show was here
early in the spring, and for a month.ef
ter leaving fcere met vwith all kinds of
bad luck, one of the brothers becoming

his former circus and will no doubt (car

Yesterday afternoon Victor ixn
and Robert Black were doing ome
grading and while endeavoring to fill a
scraper, Victor slipped and injured hw
arm in such a way that it was thought
it had been broken. A physician was
called but on thorough examination,
could find no fracture, although hs pro
nounced the arm as being in a very sore
and strained condition, with the pros
pscts that it would be kept in a sjinjj
for some time.
Hard Times for Papers.
The price of print paper is constantly
advancing and printing material of a!l
kinds is from 10 to 35 per cent higher
than it was three or four years ago, and
yet many o 'tho "newspaper of the,
country are oiling their prodwU kt the
priowi that they obtained ft few years
aitv.- The result they are losing
money and losing i fast. The question
is liow long cVV they continue to do so.
One thing i tertain, there must be a
readjustment or there will be fewer
newspapers.
K Is absolutely impossible to publish
fctt'average weekly newspaper for Vesa
than $1.50 per year and receive Wy
profit, and many publisher's tfctVfcea'te
advancing the price to $2 per ye&r. A
few years ago when papr w&s cheap
and material of all kinds couVd be bought
at a low figure the subscription price of
newspapers all over th fend was gen
erally reduced to $1.25 'and even $1 ier
year, and the prtcv has continued at
these profitless figures in a majority of
cStS n "iipfte tt Lne fact that every
thing t!hat -eritJs into the making of a
"newspaper Iwts rapidly advanced. It is
bard to undtffstand why a publisher re
Trains rth charging a legitimate and
hVinfir Wide. The merchant does not
hesita'tft to charge more for his goods
wlth'tX'ery advance in the market. The
Same is true in every other line. Th
farmer receives more for his products
rthi a few years ago; the laborer re
ceives higrher wages. Theie has ben &
gradual advance all along th lime ex
cept by newspapers. Some jroMfetieTs,
have gotten out of the snat aiTid hafe ad
vanced their prices a a profit basis.
The rest must follow t'beir esrample.

BOTH DREW
THEIR PAY
A Simmilar Case to the Mur-
dock School Trouble
Relative to lh cnlroversy which has
been mentioned Of the school t Mur
dock, in which they have two teachers
on their hands, one hired by the old
board, ttnd the other by the new board,
fcomi years since a sftniliar case came
before the courts here, from the cele
brated district number 38. In this
case the director, C. L. Stull who was
just ending his term, hired a teacher,
one Douglas Shinn, whom the new
board refused to recognize, they hiring
Miss Unruh.
The new board, when Shinn went to
teach at the opening of the school,
turned him out, whereupon he sued, and
finally in the court recovered for the
entire term, while the .other teacher
taught the term and drew her pay as
well. This matter came up during the
term of Judge SpurW-k, and of course
was decided by that Vegal light.

THE SCHOOLS OF
CASS COUNTY
Piss Mary E. Foster the Most
Competent to Super
vise Them.
There Is ho person In Cass county
more thoroughly qualified to discharge
every duly as county superintendent of
schools than Miss Foster. She has
years of practical experience as one of
the best qualified teachers. She haw
lived in this county the greater part of
her life, ami is a lady of education, re
finement refpeciatibility and experi
ence, nd it i ian unquestioned duty of
every parent in the county who has a
dhild fettcwAfcig school to give Miss Fos
ters loyal, earnest and trustworthy
upfort. There should be no question
jabrtfit her election to this position.
which requires and demands the con
stant and most careful personal atten
terftion of one who is eminently fitted
for the place. Sex is no bar to
the proper conduct of this oflice, and
many counties now have women comity
superintendents. At the recent pri
mary election in York county Miss ,lic-e
Florer defeated her male opponent', and
is now the republican candidate fun this
office in that county. Miss Jennie C
Weeth defeated the present inruin.lcnt.
iin Sarpy county, at the primary uiu . me
democratic candidate lor county nupcr-

The wters of Cass eounty desire h

the office, and in supporting Miss Fos

office.
