I t mu FS m AUDITOR
Hon. K. M. S?arle of Ogallala.
Nebr., is a typical westerner, as well
as a typical western Republican. He
is practically a Kietli county product,
the family of his faiher being one of
the early pioneers of the western part
of this state. It is with infinite pride
and satisfaction that Tiik North
western places Mr. dearie in nomi
nation for the office of State Auditor.
He is a young man of sterling integ
rity and wealth of character. He is
In every sense fitted to discharge the
dutiep of that high and exalted office,
with full measure of justice to the
state and honor to his host of friends
We desire to say to our readers, re
gardless of whatever their political
faith may be, that it is extremely
doubtful if any stronger man could
be placed upon the Republican ticker
Hon. Charles H. Morrill of Lin
coln has been mentioned for the place
of Republican National Ccmmittce
man for the slate of Nebraska. Mr.
Morrill's long and intimate acquain
tance with the Republican politics of
this state eminently qualifies him to
justly present its claims to ibe body
of men who shall have charge of the
coming National campaign. Mr.
Morrill is broad enough to spread
himself not only over Nebraska, hut
over the euttre Republic, as limitless
as it may be.
Among the many candidates for
office before the coming Republican
state convention, none will appear
with more substantial support nor
with better qualifications for the
place he seeks than Supt. J, L. Mc
Brien, the present efficient deputy
state superintendent of schools, who
desires to succeed his chief, Mr. Fow
ler, as Superintendent of Public In
struction. Mr. McBrien is thorough
ly equipped in every particular for
the high office to which be aspires,
and should the convention see fit to
select him, it will be an honor well
and worthily conferred.
For the office of Commissioner of
Public Lands and buildings, we hear
the came of H. M. Eaton, the pres
ent deputy, most frequently and fa
vorably spoken of. The office of
land commissioner particularly needs
a chief best versed in tbe clerical
work of that almost purely clerical
office, and the fact that Mr. Eaton
will have bad four years' experience
and an enviable reputation for cor
rectness and efficiency in the office
makes him a very strong factor in
tbe selection of the next commis
sioner. lu fact, so far as we have
learned, there has not up to this time
developed any serious opposition to
bis nomination.

Late dispatches state that Mrs
May brick has been pardoned by Eng
licb courts and is on ber way to
America. She will be remembered
as having been convicted in LnndoD
in 188i> for poisoning her husband
and sentenced for life. For years,
philanthropic friends and symp&thiz
era in America, believing in ber in
nocense have been incessantly work
ing for her release, which at last
bas been crowned with success.

going to do that?
Watke Arrested Again
Accused ot Attempting to
Burn Elevator at Schaupp
SidiDg
Robert Watke was brought to
this city, Tuesday, by Sheriff Wil
liams, who arrested him at Ashton
on the charge of arson.
He was taken before Judge Angier
Tuesday evening and succeeded in
furnishing a bond, which had been
fixed by bis honor at the sum of
$500.00, to appear before him next
Monday morning at ten o’clock for
bis preliminary hearing.
It is alleged that Watke stole a
team off the streets of Ashton last
Saturday night and some clothing
from a room at bis boarding place
and drove out to Schaupp’s Siding
to burn the building. The attempt
was made with the evident intention
of having time enough to get away
from the scene of action before the
fire was detected, because a box had
been packed with clothing saturated
witli kerosene and in the center of
this a candle with a long fuse at
tached, evidently with the expecta
tion that tht candle would set fire
to the cloth and then to the build
ing, the side of which had been
splashed with kerosene. The at
tempt failed because the tallow from
the burning candle spread over the
cloth 111 such a way that it could not
ignite. It is claimed that the prose
cution have witnesses proving that
Watke was away from town at this
time and identifying the clothing
and proving that it was taken from
a room at his boarding place. The
learn was found next morning in
Knutzen’s park.
Mr. VVatke was up before the dis
trict court at this place last spring
for attempting to burn two elevators
at Ashton, one of which succeeded.

BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES.
Sunday was another cold day,
still there was a fair attendance at
the morning service. The pastor.
Rev. Kennedy, delivered a very
impressive discourse, and the dis
courses morning and evening are
thought to he among the best that
have been delivered in Loup Citj
for a long time, tending to show
the condition and relation of man
to his Maker, and what tiod has a
right to expect of him. The dis
course in the evening on the Lord’s
prayer, where Christ says “Thy
kingdom come, Thy will be done,”
was interesting and instructive. At
tendance at school Sunday was tine.
Bro. Douglass’ class is growing and
much interest is manifested. Seven
new member* last Sunday. Fifty
new members is what we desire by
1st of May. Will you work for it?
The young peoples’ meeting in
the evening, led by Mrs. Waite, was
very instructive and well attended.
A reading by Mrs. Main and a talk
by Mr. Zimmerman were among the
inteieating features, another being
the action of the boys and girls in
taking part in the exercises. More
of this would be beneficial to the
young people and also to the society
as we have noticed that if you want
to interest the young people you
must make them feel that something
is expected of them. We call this
the young peoples’ society yet any
one under 100 years of age can be
come a member, all over that age
can get a special dispensation. Six
new members reported at this meet
ing. All are cordially invited to
attend all of the services at the Bapg
ti»t church *
