C. W. MOSS
Republican Candidate for State Sen
ator, Twenty-fourth District.
C. W. Moss, the republican candi
date for state senator, is one of the
pioneer residents of this county. Mr
Moss came to Holt county twenty
seven years ago and took up a home
stead in Wyoming township where he
Resided until about six years ago
when he moved to Atkinson. While
living in the south country he en
gaged extensively in the stock busi
ness and now owns one of the best
Stocked and equipped ranches in the
county, consisting of 2,300 acres.
He was a firm believer in Holt
county as a great dairy country and
for five years was manager of the
Amelia Creamery during the early
days of the dairy business in this
County. The years that he was the
bead of the creamery were the most
successful in the history of that in
stitution, which is a tribute to his
Ability as a shrewd and capable busi
ness man.
While manager of the creamery his
ability as a business man was recog
nized by his neighbors of Wyoming
township as he was elected as a mem
ber of the county board from that
township, serving the people of Holt
county faithfully and well for six
years continuously.
Since moving from the ranch Mr.
Moss has had general supervision of
the affairs there, the active manage
ment being in charge of his son, Theo
dore.
Mr. Moss’ success of his own busi
ness and his standing as a citizen and
a nwn is such that the republicans of
this senatorial district are to be con
gratulated in having such a sound,
progressive business man as their
candidate for state senator and we
believe that his election in November
is assured, the only question being the
size of his majority.
Why Pick On Belgium?
From the New York Evening
World: As the “far flung battle
lines” surge back and forth across
Belgium one is more and more ap
palled by the hideous injustice of the
fate which has overtaken this brave
little country.
What in heaven’s name was Servia
to Belgium or Belgium to Servia that
this peaceful and prosperous land of
fine cattle, rich fields and teeming
mines, supporting more people to the
square mile than any other area in
Europe, must be torn and trampled
under the feet of a ruthless invader?
The Belgians had no quarrel with
anybody. Nobody hated them. Bel
gium was literally a land of milk and
honey. Its fertile farms, beautiful
valleys and thrifty cities were the de
light of travelers who passed over
its railway lines. Yet now its farm
ers must desert their fields to fight
for them, while the soil grows rank
with blood and battle!
Future generations will thrill when
they read of the defense of Liege.
They will weep over the injustice
which made an innocent and in
offensive country the stamping ground
of war.

Paris When Besieged.
Sioux City Tribune: The prospect
of Paris being besieged adds another
hard task to the already long row of
those that confront the American am
bassador at Paris. Even were he so
disposed, it is not likely the am
bassador could escape remaining in
Paris during a siege, because of his

Republicans of Nebraska enter the
campaign this fall with the firm con
viction that victory will be theirs at
the general election next November

urer, was elected chairman of the re

The Belgian reports indicate a loss
of 40,000 men killed in battle. During
the civil war in this country but
67,000 men were actually killed in
battle. This gives an idea of the
magnitude of the struggle now going
on in Europe.
-o
Party lines promise to be broken
this fall as never before in Nebraska.
Thousands of progressive democrats
will rally to the standard of the re
publican candidate for governor. A
large portion of the republicans who
voted for Morehead two years ago
will vote for the republican candidate
this fall and some of Morehead’s
friends are already predicting his de
feat.
-o
The republicans of Nebraska are
especially fortunate this year in hav
ing one of the ablest men in the state
as their candidate for governor, R. B.
Howell, of Omaha. While Mr. Howell
was not our first choice for this office
at the primaries we recognize in him
one of the brainy men of the state,
thoroughly progressive and a fearless
fighter for a cause he believes to be
just. He will be bitterly opposed by
all the corporate interests in the state
but the common people will rally to
his standard in such numbers that
there will be no question of his
victory at the polls next November.

duties. As representative of the
German and Austrian interests, as
well as of America, his work would
be increased by a siege.
During the siege of Paris in 1870,
Elihu Washburn, of Illinois, was the
ambassador from this country.
Then, as now, the interests of the
German states were committed to the
American representative. When the
cordon tightened nearly all other for
eign representatives, taking advan
tage of the opportunities offered them
as representatives of neutral govern
ments, left Paris. Washburn refused
to go, saying that the interests com
mitted to his care needed his pro
tection more during such a time than
at any other.
He was right. As the siege pro
ceeded French fury vented itself on
Germans remaining in Paris, many
of them women and children. First
they were thrown in a dungeon.
Washburn demanded their immediate
release, and secured it. During the
reign of the commune, which followed
the overthrow of Napoleon III, Wash
burn stood between the Parisian mob
and the wanton destruction of all
kinds of property. He was the only
person in all Paris to whom the lead
ers of the commune showed any re
spect.
During the siege Bismarck issued an
order that no dispatches from embas
sies in Paris to foreign governments
would be permitted to pass the Ger
man lines unless they were unsealed
and subject to the inspection of Ger
mans. European embassies immedi
ately seemed willing to agee, but Am
bassador Washburne notified Bis
mark that he would not submit any
communication he might wish to send
to the United States to the inspection
of “any government or authority on
the face of the earth.” No matter
what Bismarck thought at the time,
he respected Washburne’s decision.
As the siege progressed food grew
very scarce and suffering was intense.
Washburne was placed at the head of
a committee to perfect a system for
feeding Paris so as to conserve what
little food remained within the lines.
As to what straights of starvation ex
isted the following extract from
Washburne’s diary shows:
“The new quotations for the day are
as follows: “For cats, a common cat,
8 francs; a Thomas cat, 10 francs; for
rats, a common rat, 2 francs; long
tailed rat, 2 francs and a half; for
dogs, a cur of low degree, 2 francs a
pound; for a fat dog, 2t6 francs, and
for a damn fat dog, 3 francs per
pound.”
After the siege was over and the
terms of peace had been signed,
Washburne was publicly thanked by
practically every government on earth
for the service he rendered during the
siege, the impartial yet firm way in
which he handled all affairs brought
to his attention, while he received the
personal thanks of the German em
peror, Bismarck, President Thiers and
Gambetta in the form of letters.
Fighting the Bubonic Plague.
The bubonic plague, one of the most
deadly and dreaded of oriential dis
eases, has made its appearance in
New Orleans. This disease is so
dreaded by the medical profession of
this country, on account of its deadli
ness and the rapidity with which it
spreads, that the United States gov
ernment sent its chief health officer
to New Orleans to take charge of the
work of exterminating the disease,
it is a germ disease and is spread by
rats and the government is endeavor
ing to exterminate the rats in the
southern city and thus prevent the
spread of the disease.
As president of the Nebraska State
Medical Association Dr. J. P. Gilligan
pf this city receives weekly reports
from the Surgeon General in com
mand of the health department of
New Orleans. These reports give an
idea of the enormous amount of work
being accomplished by this depart
ment in an attempt to prevent the
spread of the disease and through the
courtesy of Dr. Gilligan we are al
lowed to publish the report for the
week ending August 22nd.
