FAVORS STATE 1 FOR Fifty-six votes were cast In the kouse Tuesday afternon for the state add project in the building of bridges more than 175 feet In length. Evans f Adams, In a lengthy explanation f his vote against this plan, declared there would be no limit to expend itures the state would be asked to make under the provisions of the bill, 'house roll No. 274, by Cronlng. The measure went through, however, with the number - of voted stated, only thirty-four being cast against it. The Cronln act provides for a year ly state levy of one-fifth of a mill to be expended in the construction of bridges. The state is to pay half and the respective counties the other half. All of the representatives from coun ties bordering the Platte river, ex cept those from two or three eastern unties, which already have bridges, lined up in support of the measure. The Lancaster delegation voted solidly for the bill. Douglas county split its votes about equally for and against it. The explanation by Evans, which caused something of a sensation by is unexpected showing of what the irtate wlil have to take care of under this bill, was as follows: "I am opposed to this bill. If it be comes a law the state would be re quired to pay half the cost of bridges toeross the following streams: Republican, Frenchman, Platte, North and South Platte, North, South .nd Middle Loup, Big Blue, Little Blue, West Blue, Big and Little Ne maha, Elkhorn, North Fork, Eikhorn, Oalamo, Niobrara, Keya Faha and White a total of eighteen rivers flowing through or bordering ninety counties some counties having more 1ban one stream. "As this bill places no limit on the t umber of bridges that the state shall assist in building, nor any rule to de termine which applications should be given preference, It can hardly be doubted that the. cost to the state for building and maintenance in the next irve years would be enormous. Fur thermore, it would be unfair to re i Remember that Saturday, March 11, is the last CEDAR CREEK, a Special Reporter for This Department of the Semi-Weekly Jotirn John True and family have moved to the Bredehoff farm southwest of town.

Marquardt was the victim of a very painful accident Sunday even ing. While milking the cow he dis covered a cocklobur on her and pro ceeded to remove it. Bossy objected and kicked, striking the limb above the ankle, breaking the large bone and fracturing the smaller. Dr. Brendel set the limb and Monday evening, assisted by an Omaha doctor, placed it In a plaster cast. At present Mr. Marquardt is resting well. Friday evening a large crowd of friends gathered at the home of Mrs. P. Nutzman to give a farewell recep tion to Mr. and Mrs. John Ehlers, who have been visiting old friends and relatives here.

A DASTARDLY OUTRAGE OF SNEAUUESDAy HIT Ellas Klldow went to Omaha this morning to get some repairs for the engine which runs the pump at the Platte Gravel company's pits, three miles oast of Cedar Creek. Some criminal broke tho door of the engine room night before last and commit ted depredations by smashing up the engine bo badly that It was useless yesterday. The dastard broke the governor off the englno, smashed the lubricators and stole the top off th pump and snashed the machinery up generally. Tho damage to the ma chinery and engine and pump amounted to a considerable sum, and the plant had to be shut down for two days at least, throwing nine men out 0? work for the two days. The party who did tho mischief M thought to bo In the vicinity and It is thought that the Beatrlco blood hounds will be brought up and the criminal hunted down. Twice before the engineer found that the engine and pump had been tampered with by having many of the burrs loosen ed.
