Overing for secrutnry of the county central committee The platform adopted by the repub. lican stoto convention took rather ad vanced ground on Cuban teciprocity, and Jtho enthusiastic imiorsement of the administration of President Koose volt will meet with the approval of all true republicans. When a populist begins to tell you that thu republican nomincu for gov ernor is a tool of the railroads, just in quit e of him how long it has been since W. H. Thompson severed his connec tion with a railroad. Wo have never heard that Mr. Mickey was ever em ployed by a railroad, though if he had been it would speak well for bis abil ity. Another thins, ask your populist f 1 lend if it doosu't speak well for a man to have been elected treasurer of his home county for ton consecutive years. Tho ofllcial count of the votes cast at tbo recent election in Oregon shows a greater victory tor the republicans, ex cept on governor, than any previous election ever held in tho state. The majority on the two congressmen is 15,171, against 12,408 in 1000, which was a presidential year. Tho foreign policy of Uncle Sam tigured in tho campaign, and tho people there by their votes have spoken in no uncer tain words that they consider it all right, and wo believe that Nebraska will do the same at the election this fall Columbus Journal. List Saturday marked an event that desitvi-s .something more than merely a passing notice. There was canceled, without ceremony and simply in the way of business, bond No. 3, for the amount of io00, of the city water bonds, which are now about fourteen years old .lust think of this the next timo you commence Ulkicg about Ited Cloud being in debt and in such condi tion that it never will be ablo to pay oil its bends. There is still in the hands of the county treasurer some thing liko 11,200, and in a very short time another bond will bo called in and canceled. Thoro has never been n fund created nor a levy made for tho pur fSjje of paying off theso bonds, and this amount has accumulated from the surplus of the levy made to pay the interest. With the school board pay ing bonds and tho city paying bonds, and Interest stopped on so much debt, some day we hope to be able to say we are out of debt. The city water bonds draw C per cent interest. A Good Sporting Paper.

Five Cars of Prime Cattle and Their Veteran Feeder Miner Bros, and McCall Bros , of Bed Cloud, Neb , had live cars of cattlo hero today that avetaged 1,235 and sold at S3 00 per cwt. Tito cattlo were exceptionally ripe and well li shed, and it is a matter of much satisfaction to their owners that tho South St. Jo seph bujers showed proper apprecia tion of these qualities. The 83 head were mostly Herefords with a few Shorthorn grades, and were dut up about the til st of February. For tho lirst six weeks they had ground wheat and corn, after which time their grain was soaked. They consumed about 15 pounds of corn per day and 8 pounds of cottonseed meal and had all tho al falfa hay they could eat. Under this tieatment a gain of 2 pounds per day for tho entire feeding period is shown and the cittlo ato turned off with plenty of finish. Speaking of tho sale Mr. J. L.Miner said: "Of courso wo aro satisfied with the price and the cattlo don't lose us any money. I have been shipping stock for 25 years and have gone to all tho markets, but now that we can sell our stuff for what it is worth at St Joseph, wo bring all of it here. This markot lacks a littlo of the snap and hurry that is found nt sotno oilier points, but if a shipper comes here right along through tho year ho will bo the fa'ner by it.-' Mr. Miner had 72 cattlo heio last January thit topped all the markets by 40c.

Peter Albright, an old and highly respected citizen of this city, departed this life last evening, at about 8 o'clock, at his home in the northwest part of this city. Mr. Albright, who was past 80 year3 of ago, was the father of Louis P., Stewart and A I Albright and Mrs. John Garbor of this city and Mrs. I. Frisbio of Amboy, all of whom wore at tho bedside of their father at tho timo of his death. Mr. Albright has boon sick for the greater part of the last four yoars and last Thursday ho suffered another stroke of paralysis and it was not thought at that timo that ho could survive. At this writing it is not known just when tho funoral services will be hold. Last Night's Storm. Tho slot 111 which passed over this city last evening was one of tho sever est of tho year. Tho high wind, which arose very suddenly, did quite a little damage, broaking limbs from trees, overtnrning outbuilding, nd m the II. & M. yards a number of froighl cars wero unrooted. Tho buildings and fences around tbo old fair gronndi were literally torn to piecos. Too rain which ten nas causou tbo streams to overflow their banks again, tearing away fences and temporary bridges which had boon put in in placos. Tho storiuiseemed to bo of greater soverity north of this city than elsewhere. From the appearatico of tho clouds when tho storm at oso and during its progress it looked very much as if we were to havo a regular cyclone Comparative Interesting Figures Qlcnncd From a Rolls for toot A comparison of the abstract of assessment of Webster county for.the last two ycats ."hows some very interesting things. llidow vu give .1 conipiiisuti of the number and value of livestock in the county, also the total act cage of each of the ptincipal grains tnised in the county, for the years 1001 and 100'.''

Number of acres in cultivation iu wheat Number of acres in cultivation in corn Number of acres in cultivation in oats. Number of acres in cultivation iu barley. ...... Number of acres iu cultivation In meadow . "."" Number of acres in cultivation in rye .... Number of nines in cultivation iu cans nuii millet. Number of acres in pasture Number of fruit trees "'"'. Number of forest trees Number of grapevines A careful study of the auove table will reveal some very interesting things. Tho impression has been prevalent that there was but very little corn planted in this county t.is year, but according to tho nbove thoro were in round num bers 15,500 ncres more of corn planted this year than last. This, with the wheat acreage more than double what it was last year, will come to many .somewhat as a surprise. Again, tho only crop which seems to show a falling off in acreage is oats, ami iu that only 175 acres. In livestock tho only thing in which there seems to be an increase is cattle, an increase of 070 head, while in hogs there is a falling off of more than 10,000 head. These llgures aro tho totals as turned in by tho assessors of tho county, and as such aro of courso as nearly accurate as can bu obtaiuod ami aru much more nearly correct than any estimate which could bo made, as each assessor visited tho pets ns assessed and took (heir statements, and the tigutes weie totaled by tho county clork. It would seem from tho above ligures, anil taking iuto consideration tho condition of crops over tho county tit this writing aud the further fact that the above conditions apply to practically the whole state, that feed of all kinds will certainly bo very cheap this fall, while prices foi livestock will remain good until along lato in the winter, as it is hardly prob able that corn-fed stuff will be ready to market until February or March. Of courso there may bo enough brought to market previous to that time to lower prices a little, but yet not enough to make meats cjicap, nor will meat prices bo as high as they are now, as prices aro now much higher thau thoy have been in years. Another thing which is somowhat surprising is that, notwithstanding tho high prices of stock of all kinds this year, tho assessid value of stock is much lower than last year, and whit is truo of this county is nlso true of othor counties over the state .Cuttlo have an average assessed valuo this year of only 0 cents each per head more than last year, and sheep only 5 cents more. Horses have an average assessed valuation of 53 cents each less and hogs 18 cents each less, and mults and asses havo an average assessed valuo of Gl cents each less. Another thing that looks well is the great increase in fruit and forest trees,, both of theso having more than doubled in number in tho past year. I. O. O. F. Oflicers Last Monday evening the I O. O.
