That Omaha failed to be selected as
ono of the cities for n regional or fed
eral bank is regretted. It looks very
much as though politics played nn im
portant part in the selection of the
sites, and that the southern democrats
are in the saddle. That tho state of
Missouri should be given two of these
banks one at Kansas City and one at
St Louis is eminently unfair to Omaha,
whose geographical location entitled it
to recognition.
Don't let the contract for your
plumbing before you talk with R. F.
Stuart on the matter. His price will
Bterest you.
A letter publihcd in the Kearney
Hub last Saturday from the manager
of the Grand Island "jag" euro estab
lishment states that during the past
year fifty-seven per cent of thoso tak
ing tho cure lived in towns where there
nre snioons, and forty-three per cent
in towns that had no saloons. Taking
th3 population of the different towns
into consideration, tiny ''dry" towns
contributed as many patients as did the
"wot" towns. That doesp't apeak
very well for "dry" towns so far as
the consumption oC intoxicants.

All Classes Mir in Pennant Scrape
An interesting class fight occured
Friday afternoon at the high school
campus when all the classes mixed in
an effort to remove the Sophomore and
Junior colors from a flag pole. The Sop
homore and Juuior boys erected the
pole on the past side of the school
houes Thursday night with their colors
on it, and spent the night guarding it
by watches.
During the night a number of the
Senior boy appeared on the scene and
found a sentrv nslcep and quietly reH
moved th Junior flag from tho pole.
The Juniors then got some more cloth
and replaced their flag and spent the
rest of the night nnd the iollowing
morning in guard over it.
Shortly after noon tho boys of all
classes appeared on the scene garbed
for tho ocenssion and lined up for a big
scrap. The ficht was all cood natured
and no one was hurt and Supt. Tout
called time for them to get dressed for
school. Shortly before the finish of
the scrap, one the Senior boys reached
the pole and attempted to ascend, but
was unable to climb the pole. The
other boys then stood bnck and let all
who wished try to climb the pole, but
all met with tho same success as the
first aspirant. The Juniors then got!
somo climbers and took the colors
down and the scrap ended with only a
healthy tussle.
