There should be no question in the
minds of the voters of Welwter county
as to voting the bonds providing for
the building of bridges across tho Re
publican and other rivers and streams
in the county. It is a well authentic
ated fact that for the last eicht years
at least $45,000 have been spent in
repairing bridges, culverts, etc. In the
various precincts, which as fast as built
have been washed away and the peo
ple's money with them, all for the
simple reason that there have not
been substantial structures erected.
The chance is now open to stop this
enormous yearly expenditure by vot
ing bonds to build bridges over the
various streams that wilt stand for all
time to come. This matter should
not be looked upon as a precinct affair
but a well matured pian of the county
commissioners to stoo wasting county
funds on worthless bridges. The ques
tion of saving the county finance is a
matter that should interest everv voter
in Webster county and should not be
looked at from a parsimonious stand
point as only benefitting the ew.
when on the other hand the saving of
county funds benefits the entire peo
ple of the county more or less. The
idea of spending money on bridges
that fall down and are taken away
with every flood is too preposterous
flrfr any man to advocate who has the
wellfare of the county at heart. Good
substantial bridge should be built
over the streams of the county, and we
believe that it will be for the benefit
of all to vote for the bonds.
Birth ea the Rail.
While Conductor Wm. Coy's train
was side tracked on the siding at
Hyde, Colorado, on the B. & M. Rv,
one dav last week, a Swede
woman gave birth to a lK)uncing
baby of full regulation ize and
weight. Coy is a married man and
a father, consequently did not get flus
trated, nor faint. Had Weed or Mc
Kinney been officiating, the oar would
have been painted red with their
blushes. Coy cared for his Swedish
friends in the most tender manner, and
landed them safely at their place of
destination.

ot their labors to the citizen of Red
Cloud, in the 31. E- Church. Tne
houc was literally packed, hundred
of people being unable to gam admis
sion. The management decided to re
produce the ciinuta on Fridaj even
ing, but owing to the severe rain
torm were obhged to postpone it until
Saturday evening when it was again
rendered to a lare and appreciative
audience. In order to obtain a com
prehensive idea of Esther it is neces
sary to read certain portions of Orient
al history and read your etttcchum
carefully. The performers apjHMted
in full and elegaut co-tumes, procured
from the customer for the "labor Grand

ing. Miss Anna Kaley and Mrs. J. V.
Buyha, a maid-i of honor, acquitted
themselves in a vcrv creditable man
ner. Mrs. McDaniels and Mrs. Trim

the latter as the weird Prophete. with
their interesting attendants Mttwes
Montie Tullcys and Evi Bay ha did
some splendid acting Haman", Jlforde
cai. Hegai. and Harbonah, by J A
Crawford, C L Colling, Geo M Plumb,
and C L Ebaugh, respectively, were
rendered par excellence. IV V For
rester made a splendid antique pencil
pusher while J A Tullevs did the high
priest act in a bencficfal patriarchal
manner. Me$rs Mitchell, Poyner,
Dow and Kbaugti. as Herald and
guards, acted well their parts, as did
also the various pages. Goo Able'
twin boyg piuved tho ruby wine very
cleverly. The charming little mies,
Blanche Feight and Vashti Gardner
were enthusiastically encored for their
fairv-like dance in the royal presence.
Miss Garner presided gracefully at the
piano, and to her untiring efforts is the
success of the cantata greatly
due. The entertainment throughout
was creditable to the management
and performers, and a genuine pleas
ure to the audience. Cordial invita
tions have been received fur v& repro
