ALLEDGED FIRE BUG CAPTURED WATK.t Of FAHWELL AKKESIBII Last Tuesday about 1 1 o’clock Sheriff Edward Sn}derof Sherman county was called to Farwell by telephone to come and get the man Robert Watka, charged with firing the grain elevators at Ashton which resulted in the total distraction of one and some damage to the other. Mr. Snyder at once went to Farwell and returned with his prisoner at 4 o’clock p. m. and at once placed him iD the county jail. His cap ture was due to the continued effort of detective Malone of Lincoln who was hot on hi§ trail Irom the begin UIUg. It seems that after the elevators were fired, which was discovered about 11 o'clock, a telegram was sent to the neighboring town of Far well, about ten miles distance, to learn if Watka was at home, as he had been suspected of having set fire to the two elevators at Warsaw and Farwell which burned some months ago. Upon investigation if. was learned that Watha was not at home and watchers were stationed at his residence and along the road towards Ashton. About 1:30 a m he was seen driving a horse and buggy along the road indicated. He went straight to his residence uDd a diligent watch was kept up till morning when the sheriff from Howard county appeared on the scene. Watha was seen the next morning to leave the premises and from some cause or other was allow ed to disappear down a draw unmo lested, thus causing an exciting chase of four days duration, by the detective force, who arrived with blood hounds on the scene as quick ly as possible. The hounds were not very successful in locating the fugative, but the detectives kept up the chase and captured him at the home of his father in-law. in Howard county, four miles north of Boelus and about 12 miles from Farwell. Watka offered but little resistance although it is stated that he had fully determined to fill the olllcers eyes with red pepper in case they ventured close enough. The prisoner was brought into county court last Tuesday evening and upon motion by H. M. Mathew, his local attorney the case was pos poned to Wednesday at 4 p m, to give the accused time to gel his attorney, W. H. Thompson of Grand Island here. Mr. Thompson arrived here on the noon train Wednesday and the prisoner was again brought before Judge Angier and pled not guilty. Oa motion the peliminary nearing was again posponed to Thursday Nov. 20 at 2 p. m., foi the purpose of giving ample time to procure evidence. The court fixeri the bail at $5,000. which the defend ant promptly furnished. YELLOWSTONE PARK TRAVEL Yellowstone National Park trave during the season recently close* was exceeded in numbers ouly by the season of 1897. The park trans portation company carried 4,57( persons through the park dutin* 1902—fifty three less than were cur ried in the banner year of 1897. Tlx park hotel company furnished ae commodations to 6,340 persons, o whom 4,929 entered the park via tlx Northern Pacific-Burlington gateway while 1,411 entered by way of Mo nida. August saw the largest num bar of tourists. During that montl 2,375 were cared for at the hotels. A further idea of the success o the season in Yellowstone Park eai be gained from the fact that it r* quired 593 horses, 175 men and 17 vehicles to handle the Irallic in th park. Feed for the horses consiste* of 1,000 tons of hay and 1,000,00 pounds of oats. These figures ar taken from the reports just tiled with the United Slates government. David Mercer has been defeated aud Edward Rosewater triumphs over his defeat. We believe that we voice the .sentiments of the great mass of the republicans of the slate when we say that we are sorry that it is so, because Mr. Mercer was one of the brightest men we had in con gress. 'Ihe Bee’s action in the matter is denounced b\ the conser vative republicans all over the state. But be that us it may, it is always poor policy to force a nomination upon a party with an opposing element, even though it would seem that ihe <bjections raised were groundless. It was not necessary for the republicans of the second district to nominate Mercer, or foi that matter, any of Rosewaters’ pets, as there was plenty of good timber to select from. Had a man been chosen who would have been the unanimous choice of the republicans of that congressional district he could have been an easv winner. The propper thing to do in such cases is to disregard the wishes of either faction and unite on a candidate that can lie endorsed by the whole party. DUTIES OF TEACHERS. Only the sincere and honest and generous-hearted should dare teach anything. The moment a man an nounces himself as a leather ia an\ department of life, ho dictates the Idea of a certain superiority. It should be bis aim to live up to that idea. It is said of a man physically, that his constitution is only as stroug as tlie weakest part of his body; it is said of a country that its civilization can only be estimated by its most uncivilized contingency. The same estimate must be made of character. —Lila Wheeler Wilcox, in Novem ber Coukey's Home .Journal.

Every one thought that his bouse had been struck. The next morning it was discovered that the bolt had struck a tree in Ike Bnnnum’s front yard at Fourth and McL'ine streets. Having shattered the tree, the current passed into the ground, lifted the sidewalk and passed into a nix-inch water main, which hurst like a paper tube, leaving what looked like a spring bubbling up out of the ground.
