the above acreage tire company is in

The Millard
The special attention of our towns
people who visit Omaha is directed to
the prominence of The Millard Hotel
and to the first-class service and
reasonable rates that are offered by
the management to their patrons.
The Nebraska Grain Dealers Associa
tion selected The Millard as the place
for holding their annual meeting,
April 30, and the attendance was
very large. The Nebraska State Med
ical Society held the 1902 annual
meeting at The Millard May (i, 7 and
8, and there was a very large attend
ance at this highly important med
ical meeting. The annual state
encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic, and the associate meet
ing of the Womens Relief Corps,
were held in Omaha, May 22 and 23.
I lie Millard was selected as head
quarters for that great occasion.
Several hundred members were pre
sent. The Millard has also been
selected as headquarters for the races
at (Omaha, June 24-27, the opening
race meeting of the Nebraska circuit,
When it is remembered that The
Millard rates are as low as $2 per day
on the American plan and $1 on the
European plan, that the hotel has
been newly furnished, that the cuisine
and service is iirst-class in every par
ticular, and that the location of the
hotel is the most central of any in
Omaha, convenient for all street car
lines, wholesale and retail districts,
banks, car line to South Omaha, etc,,
it is easily understood why The Mil
lard secured all the above named
state gatherings.

A Very Cheerful Liar
Mr. Stewart arrived home Friday
after a few weeks visit with relat ives
in Iowa He expressed himself as
being much surprised that his bonds
men had been called together by the
board while he was away as the chair
man of the board had informed him
that they would not be ready to take
the matter up until he got back from
his visit.
The above from last weeks Indepen
dent is a sample of the rot dished up
by that prevaricatingsheeteach week;
whep it can get no news legitimately
it manufactures it as in this case. A
couple of months ago the board, in
structed the County Attorney to take
the necessary steps to collect from
Mr. Stewart the amount of his in
debtedness to Holt county and, we
presume, it was in accordance with
those instructions that the county
at torney called a meet ing of the bonds
men of tlie ex-sheriff and indited
letters to each members of the com
mittee appointed by the board to
settle with Stewart, notifying
them that he had done so. The coun
ty attorney called t lie bondsmen to
gether, not the board. The above ar
t icle futlier says that “the chairman
me uoaru miormea nim(»iewarij
that they would not be ready to take
the matter up until he got back from
his visit.” Another deliberate pre
varication of the celler sheet. The
Chairman of the board and Mr.
Stewart say they never had such a
conversation and Mr. Stewart says
Mr. Maish, chairman of the board,did
not know he was going away and he
denied telling any person that the
chairman made the statements above
imputed to him. The only members
of the board he talked to about the
matter, and who knew he was going
east was John Molerwhois recogniz
ed as the mainstay of the “gang”
upon the board. Whether Mr. Moler
gave Stewart these assurances and
oblegated the board thereby we know
not, but if lie did so we do not believe
he spoke with the authority of the
board or the settlement committee
of which he is not a member as it is
their desire to settle the matter as
speedily as possible. Keep to the
facts, Eddie
