By order of the Repblicanu County Central I’oinmltttee. R. J. Nightingale, II. Smelsf.r, Secretary. Chairman. The Hastings Tribune is one of the very few papers of the state that argues against the naming of a U. S. senator by the Republican state convention. But then every editor has his off days and senile ideas. We wouldn’t be surprised in the least if Billy Hearst received the Na tional democratic nomination for the presidency, but we would be surprised if he were not the worst snowed-under candidate the demo crats ever placed in nomination. The high winds that passed through Loup City last Wednesday played hob with people and property soutli as far as Oklahoma and into Texas, and thousands of ranchman were burned out, and many lives were lost. Some towns in Oklaho ma reported property losses way in to the thousands of dollars. If Editor Brown of the Kearney Hub has not already heard distinct buzzing of the official bee in his bonnet, he will be sure to in the near future, if some of the newspa per boys don’t quit their paragraph ing along that line. The Hastings Tribune surely has no desire to spoil a good newspaper man by putting office holding ideas into his head. What a merry war there is on be tween the Cleveland and Bryan wings of the democracy. Senator McCreary of Kentucky, addressing the house of representatives, the other day, gave it out strong that he would not support the nomination of any man who did not support the democratic ticket in the two last campaigns. Senator Hoar, in an interview the other day, apologized for the delay in taking up the Dietrich case, claiming the time had been so taken up with the Smoot case, but predicts an early getting at the Dietrich mat ter. Yes, for heaven’s sake get the bad taste out of the Nebraskan mouth soon as possible, j.ater—The hearing of the Dietrich has been definitely set for March 11, and some twenty-five or more witnesses have been summoned from Nebraska. Central Committee Meeting Pursuant to call, a meeting of the Rspublican county central commit 'eo was held on Tuesday, March 8, at the office of Hon. Aaron Wall in Loup City. The meeting was called to order by Chairman It Smelser, and R. .T. Nightingale was elected secretary. Committeemen II. Smelser of Ash ton, Adam Zalin of Elm, S. S. Rey nolds of Webster, R .1 Nightingale of Loup City, 11. Claussen of Wash ington, E. Munn of Hazard and A. Potter of Harrison were present. John Mathewson was elected com mitteeman for Clay, vice A. W. Throchmorton who has removed from the county. The chairman was authorised to fill the yacaocy on the committee caused by the re reinoval of Orin Manchester from Oak Creek township. Call for the county convention to be held April 26th was made. (See call in anoth er column.) A resolution was unan imously passed condemning the ac tion of the congressional committee in calling the convention at so early a date that no delegates can he elect ed b\ the county convention. How ever, the committee deemed it ad visable that Sherman countv should be represented at said convention to be held at Alliance March 17, and elected as delegates Aaron Wall, W. R. Mellor, E. Munn, A. II. Potter, Jacob Albers and Theodore Ojen dyke. Several prominent Republi cans were present at the meeting, evidently taking a deep interest in the coming campaign. It was con fidently anticipated by all Republi cans present that a grand Na'ional success was awaiting the party at the coming election and that the overwhelming success of the Na tional ticket would give added strength to the local ticket. The confidence felt was not the confi dence which induces apathy and in difference, but the kind which in spires to e6ort and itself leads to success. The committee adjourned full of enthusiasm and ready to take off their coats and work for Repub lican success. The Platte river was on a ram page last week along its entire length. At Fremont it flooded the lower portion of the city, and be tween there and Omaha the U. P. trains were sent over thh Northwest ern traeks for two or three days. Of course Grover Cleveland never did. Nothing strange about that. He indignant!', denies that lie ever dined a negro at the White House during his official presence i.i the ex ecutive chair. The colored man is to be congratulated. Farmers along the Platte who farm by irrigation are concerned over the reports of a shortage of snow in the mountains of Wyoming. Unless the shortage is made up be fore the end of winter a scarcity of water in the Platte next summer is probable. It seems that Kansas Republicans are as pugnacious as ever. At Gar nett, Kansas, the other day, the Sec ond congressional convention split in two, one faction nominating Henry J. Allen of the Ottawa Her ald, and the other faction re-nomi nating Congressman Bowersock of Lawrence. Both conventions, how ever, endorsed President Roosevelt. There is nothing slow about \V. J. Bryan. In fact, he is about the shrewdest, sharpest man in the dem ocratic party today. Some time since he offered 1100 as a rewar 1 for a blatform written that would please all the democratic reorgan izers, but no response came Now he lus written and published in his paper, the Commoner, a platform for the gold democrats, based upon his idea of Clevelandism. Besides the Cleveland platform, he takes oc casion to print a beautiful roast of Cleveland, which is juicy and read able. Bryan is in a position to make things pretty warm for his old dem ocratic enemies. defieditional Lioaals. W. G. Odrndnhl left on a business trip to Omaha. Monday morning by the 17.

Mr. Dennis and his family are very pleasant people and have made a large circle of friends who will regret their departure. A very destructive prairie lire started last Wednesday afternoon about nine miles «outh of this city in Clay town ship. The wind was so high tli it it raged down the valley like a hungry demon in spite of all efforts to stop it Between five and t*n thousand dollars worth of property wrs destroyed. The attention of our readers is called to the article on “Our Schools,” on the first page of this issue, by a member of the Woman’s club. The near approach of the annual election o( school trus tees makes the paper timely and sug ge-tive. We must re pectfuily differ witli the writer on the lack of angelic qualities in the men coupled witli a su perabundance of contrariness on their part, taken from a life-long experience with male bipeds, and believe the Loup City masculine element perfectly will ing to divide or even shift entire re sponsibility for the management of our city schools to the shoulders of the gentler sex. Any wav we venture the prediction that if the women of our fair city will select outof their number excellent reoiesentatives for school officers, the men will generously see that their election is assured. And who are better qualified for the delicate du ties pertaining to school matters than the mothers whose boys and girls are the direct beneficiaries of the school system. Loup City has a well defined case of small p»x, but every precaution against the spread of the disease lias been taken by the proper authorities, and there is little probability of any further danger. The city schools and churches have b*en closed and »11 public gatherings forbidden for the present. The ease above mentioned is that of Mins Vena Johansen, in the southeast part, of the city. The young lady had been slight ly ill for a few days, when oil last Fri day Dr. Long was called who diag nosed her symptoms »s stated. We be lieve there is no need of alarm on the part of our people, and indeed none is expressed heie, hut we speak frankly of the matter to assure confidence on the part ot Sherman county people outside of Loup City. There is nothing to hide from the people, nor would Loup City attempt to do any such thing. We will keep our leaders posted as to all matters pertaining to the disease, and the relia bility will be unquestioned. latter—A second case was reported Wednesday evening, that of Miss Belle Mulick in the south part of town, and was safely quarantined.
