It is recommended that no proxies be
from each of the respective counties be
authorized to cast the full vote of their
delegations
Attention is called to the method pro
vided for by the resolution of the state
committee giving the Republican elect
ors in each county where desired an op
portunity to express their preference for
candidate for president of the United
States which plan of expressing said
preference has been forwarded to each
county chairman
Attention is also called to Section 3 of
Eule VI adopted by the said state com
mittee providing for the filing of cre
dentials and which rule is as follows
Credentials of delegates to conven
tions shall be filed with the secretary of
the state central committee at least five
days before the date of said convention
Pursuant to said call of the National
committee and tho laws of Nebraska
the several congressional committees
are instructed to proceed in the usual
manner to name a time and place for
holding their respective district conven
tions for the election of two d legates
and two alternates from each of said
congressional districts in conformity
with the requirements of the call of the
national committee the same basis of
representation being used in the several
counties as is herein provided for the
state convention It is recommended
that the same place and date be selected
by said congressional committees for
holding said district conventions as
have been selected by this committee
for the state convention

Dan Streeter Whose Father Is a Mil
lionalrc Brooklyn Brewer Shovel
ing Snow for 125 a day
Dislikes Idleness
New York My hoy is all right
hut I wont discuss him declared M
B Streeter a millionaire Brooklyn
brewer the other day All lads at
his age have ideas but Dan will come
out all right You take it from me
he will come out all right
There is a serious question in the
minds of young Streeters classmates
at Columbia university whether he
will come out all right according to
the ideas of his father They are of
the opinion that there is no question
that the hoy will come out all right
according to his own ideas which are
considerably at variance with those
held by his male parent and boys of
his own class
In short young Streeter is strong i
for the seamy side of life Not the
seamy side of Upper Broadway with
its bright lights gay chorus girls and
wine parties but tho seamy side of
the lower East side the suffering of
the poorer classes and their economic
problems
Besides young Streeter has a de
cided aversion to idleness He wants
to earn his own bread He cannot see
the justice of his being heir to a
luxury which he did not accumulate
He wants to take his position with
the rest of his generation and fight
his way up from the bottom of the lad
der To that end the boy recently
joined the ranks of the toilers in the
street removing snow
125 a day
and earning
science class He has been living in
a magnificent suite of rooms in the
- i t -- i iit I
At a small farewell party to some of
his cronies he told them that he was
tired of getting money from his par
ents money which he did not earn
and he said that he Avas going to get
out on lifes firing line
This silver spoon business is all
right for a weakling he told his
chums but not for me I am gointr
to sec if I can earn some money
myself I bet I can And I am go
ing to go about it in the right way
I dont want a letter from dad to one
of his business friends I am going
to hit out for something to do on the
merit of my own presentment
The boys at first took young Street
ers declaration as a joke They
guyed him But when he announced
that he was going forth into the world
penniless they begged him to go
easy and eschew his all-born-equal
views
You can play the game just as
well by living at home and going
say twice a week into the poor dis
tricts suggested one
You boys dont understand me nor
allowed and that the delegates present does dad replied young Streeter I
am going to hit out for myself and
burn the bridges
Then Streeter disappeared from his
rooms He at first said he might get
work in the Pennsylvania tunnel but
he changed his mind when he ob
served the great white mantle which
covered New York He decided to be
come a White Wing and live in a
cheap lodging house He has
Streeter may be looked upon as ec
centric said the sociology professor
at Columbia university but I hold
that he is far above the average of
rich mens sons He is bound to
make his mark for his ideas are ahead
of the times His father should be
proud of such a son
Mr Streeter father of the candi
date for money earning honors was
found in his beautiful home in Wil
liamsburg He was plainly nervous
when asked about his sons entry into
the street cleaning squad and imme
diately proffered a cigar His forced
gayety after stating that his boy
would come out all right when his
ideas changed found this final ex
pression Too much knowledge is a
bad thing very bad thing

al bank which was reorganized in

by W C Foster of Waltham to take
up an old note of the state bank dated
August 24 1S45 and made payable to
some one but the name could not be
deciphered The note was signed by
Francis Perkins president and Eben
ezer Torrey cashier of the Fitchburg
bank and was indorsed by James G
Hovey on July S 1S4G
Mr Foster wrote that he thought
the note might be worth a premium
but it is not and inasmuch as there is
no obligation on the part of the Fitch
burg National bank to redeem it it is
of no value except as a relic
Mr Townsend redeemed the note
at its face value and will have it
framed and hung in his office

Ago Remits Money
Brainerd Minn Superintendent W
H Strachan of the Minnesota In
ternational has received a letter which
he says is the first of the kind he ever
saw in his long experience in railroad
ing
It was written by a man now living
in Des Moines la and inclosed five
dollars to pay the railroad company for
fare from Brainerd to Tenstrike which
the writer said he got through misrep
resentation In 1905 when the com
pany was building the extension from
Northome to Big Falls the writer went
to Mr Strachan and claiming to be a
laborer who wanted to go up to work
for the company he secured a pass to
Northome but instead of going to that
place he stopped at Tenstrike
He has since experienced religion
and desired to make right the wrong
he had done the company and so sent
the money Mr Strachan states that
the fare to Tenstrike is only 394 and
Mr Strachan will return the surplus
to the sender of the letter

the profits of which will he devoted to
charity Representatives of the Uni
ted States Coal and Oil company oper
ating at Holden have been granted a
license
Replying to protests against the li
cense the attorney for the applicants
stated it was not the desire to operate
the saloon as a money making ven
ture but that it is impossible to keep
miners because they will not stay
where drink cannot be procured The
attorney asserted the company had
lost heavily on account of this condi
tion and offered to enter into written
agreement to operate the saloon on a
strictly business basis and to turn the
profits over to such charity as the
court might direct This proposition
was accepted and the license granted
