Woodrow Wilson calls Jim Reed, of Missouri, a marplot. There is noth ing about the term to get heated about and it really should help Jim in his candidacy for re-election to the U. S. senate. The word comes from to mar and plot and Webster defines a mar plot as “one who, by his officious in terference, mars or frustrates a de sign or plot.” Jim by his marplat ting sure marred and frustrated quite a few plots during the time Woodrow was on the throne. As a marplotter he is okeh, as Woodrow would say. 47-100 of an inch of rain fell here last night accompanied by a very heavy wind that did some damage to the trees and telephone lines. At the Cronin and Kilmurray farms near the fair grounds the storm assumed the proportions of a twister demolishing the chicken house and hog house at the Kilmurray place and the cattle bam, and several other out-buildings at the Cronin place. The plate glass window on the west side of the Cigar store was also blown out. Word comes from over on Dry Creek that quite a num ber of buildings and some large timber was blown down during the storm. We notice by the Omaha papers that Walter K. Hodgkin is a candidate for representative of the 95th district comprising Cheyenne and Kimball counties. Walter made his home in this county for over thirty-five years and was county attorney of this county for four years, and filled the position ably and well. He is a man of good principles and has the courage of his convictions. Mr. and Mrs. Hodg kin moved to Sidney three years ago where Walter has enjoyed a good professional business. If the people of his district know him as well as we do here, there will be no doubt of his receiving the support of the people at the primary. If Walter is elected his district will be well taken care of. Walter’s many O’Neill friends will watch the outcome of the campaign with much interest. GOLF BAWLS.
