The republicans of Sherman coun ty have a good county ticket to vote ^his fall. All the nominees are of long residence here and have filled many positions of trust. The can didate for county judge A. .1. f?. Fairhuirn was at one time county treasurer of Sherman county having been appointed to till vacancy, lie made oue of the most efficient and trusted officers the county has ever had. The nominee for treasurer Frank Oilewski is a resident of Sherman county since lt*7b and settled down with scarcely any means. He has by hard work and strict economy built up a comfoitable home, has a large stock farm and considerable property around him. If elected Frank will make an accommodating and trusted officer. The junior editor of this paper, G. II. Gibson, and nominee for county clerk, being somewhat deli cate about blowing his own horn, left it incumbant upon the writer, the senior editor, to tell of his sterling qualities as to iutegrity, ability, honesty, punctuality, trust worthiness, deportment, etc., etc., etc. In a brief sentence we will state that he posesses all of these 'qualifications and menits the sup port of every republican iu Sherman county and then some. In fact he ought to he elected—and will he. E. C. Kirk, of Elm township is a mau especially fitted for the position to which he has been called upon by b'<s party to fill, that of county superintendent. He posesses a splended education and has the cre dentials to show it. Judge Moou for surveyor and I)r. A. S. Main for coroner are two of Sherman county’s best citizens. Owing to their large acquaintance and popularity they need no intro duciion. Both gentlemen are men of high moral standing and are well qualified for the positions named. Wonder who it was that made it possible to pay ofT so much of the bonded debt of Sherman county in the past few years, Frank Badura or the tax payers? We think that the publishers of the newspapers ^liave donated liberally to the county general fund by doing work for many years past at half price and In many instances for less than half price. Mr. Badura has been in oflice for four years and in no in stance has it ever been recorded where he has taken less than legal fees for services rendered. County treasurer Badura has just posted large threatening notices to the tax payers of the county to pay tbeir personal takes or they will be distressed, and in this he even » n eludes the faxes of 1000 which are not yet delinquent. Frank see in s to have an eye single to Urns* distress fees and to have forgotten that lie whs elected 01. the plea of h ing a reformer in the interest of tnc farmers and tax payers. It is *, * I right to distress those who can, Imt <to not make an effort to pat their taxes, but the idea of including ttics 1900 tax is preposterous. r County treasurer, Frank Hadura1 lias punt strict attention to business 1 since bis term of office and we pre diet that could lie be retained in office tight years longer that the county bond holders would get | every cent due them and he would ! collect all iiis fees if all the land and ! the personal property of the tax j payers had to be sold under the | hammer to raise the money. The j im re distress warreuts issued the I more fees you know. _ The Norfolk asylum was almost totally detroycd by tire last Friday The fire originated from a defective gass pi [it* running through the tunnel under neatti the building Two of the inmates were burned to death. The others and nearly ail the con tents of the building were saved. With the exception of the west wing the building is virtually destroyed. The walls of this part of the ruins can he used m rebuilding but the the rest ot the masonry will have to be cleared away. It seems that at present, however, there are no funds available with which to rebuild and ii looks as though the matter will have to be deferred until the legis lature meets and makes an appropri ation for that purpose. It would seem to us that this building should have been insured as the amount of insurance would doubtless have been sufficient to meet immediate de mands in caring for the many pati cuts and to commence, if not to com plete the building of a new struct | ure.
