TO GET RAILROAD
Townships of Chambers, Lake and Con
ley to Vote on Bond Proposition.
The following is the proposition before the voters of Chambers,
Lake and Conley townships, to be voted on February 27. The
proposition is the same for each township except in the amount and
number of coupon bonds. For Conley township nine bonds of £500
each, or a total of £4,500, are proposed; for Lake seven bonds of
£700 each, or a total of £4,900, are proposed.
Here is the proposition as it appears on the official ballot for
Chambers township:
“Shall the Board of Supervisors of the County of Holt, State of
Nebraska, issue coupon bonds of Chambers township in the aggregate
sum of $8,400, twenty-one bonds in denominations of $400 each, due
and payable twenty years from February 1, 1906, drawing interest at
the rate of 5 per cent per annum, payable annually; the proceeds of
the sale of said bonds to be used in aiding the construction of a line
of railroad passing through the County of Holt and through the
said Chambers township, said proceeds to be given to the Midland
Central Railroad Company when said railroad is built and when
trains are operating thereon, but said bonds are not to be delivered
until the said railroad is built and trains are being operated thereon
by the 1st day of February, 1907?
“And shall the Board of Supervisors, or the persons or officers
charged with levying the taxes of said Holt County each year until
said bonds have been paid, levy upon the taxable property of said
Chambers township a tax sufficient to raise $420 to pay the interest and
a tax sufficient to raise $420 to pay 5 per cent of the principal of
said bonds at maturity; and shall the said officers at the last tax levy
provided for by general law proceeding the maturity of said bonds
levy upon the taxable property of said Chambers township a sufficient
sum to pay the principal and interest not otherwise provided for then
unpaid upon said bonds; and shall the Board of Supervisors of said
Holt County negotiate and sell said bonds at their par value; and
shall said Board negotiate and sell said bonds for not less than their
par value? ”

that sells at $2.00 at retail, to acquaint all with the marvelous and Instantaneous honing and finishing
properties of the Radiumite Strops, which will not harm the finest and most delicate razor. They
make shaving a convenience and a delight, even to men having the hardest beards.
The secret of a quick, clean shave does not lie so much in a good razor as in a good strop. With
the RADIUMITE STROPS the most inferior razors are brought up to a fine edge, and the effect of the
strops upon the finest razors is to keep them atall times in tne best possible condition, ready to shave
the hardest beards easily and delightfully. Each Radiumite 8trop is sold under the positive guarantee
that if it is not satisfactory money will be refunded. They are for either Ordinary or Safety Razors.
Radiumite Strops, SOo to $2.SO; Razors, $1 to S3
DANGER LURKS IK THE USE OF ART STROP BUT A RADIUMITE I
Horrible skin diseases, such as CANCER, BARBERS' ITCH, ECZEMA and BLOOD POISON, often result from the use
of Imperfectly stropped razors that cut, irritate and open the skin, thus admitting the terrible bacilli that lurk in the animal
parts of shaving soaps, hair shaving brushes, and In the air itself.
THE ORLY PERFECT STROP IS THE RADIUMITE __
Don't use the worthless, heavy, double, common cow strops so generally sold, and with which nine dealers out of ten will
try to afflict you. They are so much old junk, pure and simple. The word Radiumite stands for perfection in razor strop
making. Buy a Radiumite strop and take no substitute—no matter bow handsome ft may appear. Danger lurks in the
use of any strop but a Radiumite.

Common Colds are the Cause of Many
Serious Diseases.
Physicians who have gained a na
tional reputation as analysts of the
cause of various diseases, claim that
if catching cold could be avoided a
long list of dangerous ailments would
never be heard of. Every one knows
that pneumonia and consumption ori
ginate from a cold, and chronic ca
tarrh, bronchitis, and all throat and
lung trouble are aggravated and rend
ered more serious by each fresh attack.
Do not risk your life or take chances
when you have a cold. Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy will cure it before
these diseases develop. This remedy
contains no opium, morphine or other
harmful drug and has thirty years of
reputation back of it, gained by its
cures under every cohdition. For sale

A Habit to Be Encouraged.
The mother who has acquired the
habit of keeping on hand a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, saves
herself a great amount of uneasiness
and anxiety. Coughs, colds and croup
to which children are susceptible are
quickly cured by its use. It counter
acts any tendency of a cold to result in
pneumonia, and if given as soon as the
first symptoms of croup appear, it will
prevent the attack. Thisjemedy con

perfect security. Sold by P. C. Cor

jTHE W. C. T. u. CORNER;
« —— *
j^For God and Home and Native ZrfwU j
MRS. EMMA KELLEY, SUIT.
All the saloons in Minneapolis
were closed on Sunday, Nov. 19, the
first time in 16 years.
The mayor of Dubuque, Iowa has is
sued an order forbidding keepers of
dance halls to premit the attendance
of young boys and girls and has in
structed the police to see that the or
der is rigidly inforced.
On entering the “corner” we wish
in behalf of the Union to express our
hearty appreciation for this favor, and
in our monthly visits, we hope to furn
ish the readers with some of the cur
rent events of the great reform move
ments, that is sweeping the length
and breadth of our iand.
Francis Willard was an organizer.
She organized for women, through wo
men. She often said, “alone we can
do little, separated we are the units of
weakness; but aggregated we become
batteries of power. Agitate, educate,
organize, they are the deathless
watchwords of success.”
Gov. Hanly is vigorously pushing
the contest against the saloon in In
diana. There are 1,026 townships in
the state, in 608 of which there are no
saloons. Since the first of last May
290 saloons have been closed by remon
strances. The liquor men are through
ly alarmed at the progress of reform
in country towns.
Our “white ribboners” may well
thank providence and as well congra
tulate themselves for the many good
things recently introduced into the
body politic. One is, that our largest
cities have each as Police Matron who
is constantly doing temperance work,
that tells fn both preventives and re
formatory work. Another is the
“Juvenile Court Law.” Judge W. A.
Redick of Douglas Co. in a recent ad
dress said, “Juvenile court law is one
of the recent accomplishments of mo
dern civilization.” Under the old law
the offending child alone was looked
upon as the culprit, but the juvenile
court places the responsibility where
it belongs on the parents. Under the
old law parents were punished for ac
tual cruelty; but for allowing their
children to hook on cars, go into sa
loons, play around railroad yards, use
obscene or profane language. In other
words, to run wild with no attempt
at restraint, there was no legal remedy.
In our own city it might be well to
try the juvenile court law. What
think ye? ______

Sick Headache.
This distressing ailment results
from a disordered condition of the
stomach. All that is needed to effect
a cure is a dose or two of Chamber

greatly lessened in severity, by taking
a dose of these Tablets as soon as the
first symptom of an attack appears.

GETTING ( LOSE TO ‘‘IIIG GUNS”
Arrest I. I). Hull, Reputed Agent
of Richards and Comstock.-—Sub
ornation of Perjury.
Omaha Bee: Irving D. Hull of
Mirage, Cherry county, was arrested
by Deputy United States Marshal
John Sides Saturday, taken before
United States Commissioner E. M.
Slattery at Chadron and bound over
to the federal grand jury in #3,000
bonds on the charge of subornation of
perjury in securing fraudulent land
tilings for D. W. C. Huntington and
Thomas M. Huntington, bankers at
Gordon. Thomas M. Huntington is
president of the Maverick Loan and
Trust company at Gordon.
The charge against Hull also impli
cates him in securing fraudulent til
ings for J. W. Ostrander and the
Modisett brothers at Rushvilie. The
arrest of Hull was brought about
throught the investigation of the se
cret service agents under charge of
Chief Secret Service Agent L. C.
Wheeler of Omaha.
It is the presumption of the secret
service agents that Hull operated for
Bartlett Richards and W. G. Com
stock in securing filings within the
Spade ranch and for the Hewitt,
Morey and Overton and thel“U Cross”
and “C” Bar ranches, which are
owned or leased by Richards and Com
stock.
The “U” Cross ranch is owned by
E. C. Harris of Chadron and Earl
Comstock of Los Angeles, which is
within the Richards and Comstock
enclosures. It is also rumored Stude
baker Bros., wagon and vehicle mak
ers ot South Bend, Ind., are interested
in some of these ranches.
It has been ascertained through the
secret service agents that D. OF. C.
Huntington and Thomas W. Hun
tington are interested in the bank at
Mullen, which cut an important
figure in the recent trial of Rev.
George G. Ware, for conspirarcy in
procuring fraudulent land filings in
Hooker county, of which charge Ware
recently was convicted.
The total number of acres of public
lands alleged to be under illegal fence,
including the Richards and Comstock
enclosures, is 399,520 acres. The Over
ton and “C Bar” ranches are connect
ed and all of the ranches are in the
same general vicinity and all are
located m Cherry and adjacent
counties.
J. W. Ostrander, for whom Hull is
charged with procuring filings, is a
nephew of the San Francisco sugar
king, Claus Spreckles.
A Healing Gospel.
Tho Rev. J. C. Warren, pastor of
Sharon Baptist Church, Belair, Ga.,
says of Electric Bitters: “It’s a God
send to mankind. It cnred me of
lame back, stiff joints, and complete
physical collapse. I was so weak it
took me half an hour to walk a mile.
Two bottles of Electric Bitters have
made me so strong I have just walked
three miles in 50 minutes and feel like
walking thrre more. It’s made a new
man of me.” Greatest Liver and
