Richey was unanimously chosen for city clerk and Judge Michael Archer was unanimously chosen for police, judge. When it came to the matter of I selecting candidates for members of j the school board, it was considered! right and proper, because of their faith-; f ul and non-partisan work on the school j board, that the retiring members of the board should by unanimous consent be nominated for re-electiou, and in accordance therewith Dr. C. A. Marshall and Mr. II. N. Dovey were unanimously nominated for the school board. At the the conclusion of this portioi of the convention, the representative; from the several wards of the city met in separate convention and nominated candidates for the council as follows: Excursion on April 6tli To See Canada Land.

They purchased a 40-horse power gasoline engine and h six-bottom breaker und are now ready for busi ness. They have already contracted for over 1,000 acres to break at $;i per acre. They were so favorably im pressed with both climate and soil that they did not take three or four months to investigate conditions in the Alberta province, as they had contemplated do ing.

Wescott's Sons AS OTHERS SEE US ( National I'rinlvr-Journalist ) After a careful and complete examination of the Platts mouth, Nebraska, twice-a-week NeWs-IIerald, I wish to Ko on record as having found it a very creditable newspaper. It contains an abundance of good, live reading matter, maintains an able department" of editorials, gives a lot of local news, attains a high standard in the composition of its advertisements, secures a clean legible print, and, in spite of the two attractive ads that ought not to be here, achieves a neat and artistic effect in the makeup of its first page. What more could its readers or even its critics-ask? R. R. and V. R.

Pursuant to the call, the republican city convention assembled at the coun cil chamber at 8 o'clock Friday evening with a goodly number of representative republicans present. In the absence of the chairman of the city committee, A. L. Tidd called the meeting to order, and J. M. Robertson was elected chair man, after which A. L. Tidd was elect ed secrctaiy. Tie call of the conven tion was then read, and after the read ing of the call, a resolution was adopt ed endorsing and nominating the Bame ticket which had the night before been nominated by the citizens convention, namely: Dr. E.

It is now quite generally believtd that the election of the citizens ticket will mean a most business like administration. Tho citizens ticket was purely non partisan there being 6 democrats and 6 republicans nominated on that ticket, ami the great majority of republicans feel that the independent democrats are meeting them half-way in the selec tion of this ticket, in fact the citizens ticket should be made unanimous.
