Water works, street cars, electric lights, five weeklies and one daily. Come to Red Cloud and be happy. The Chief can't see any reason why a second republican club should be organked in this city, under whatso ever name. It will only be the means of stirring up unnecessary factional ism and create bad blood in party lines. The meeting Saturday was a failure, as every effort of the kind should be.

The republican central committee ef WebEter county met at the court house Wednesday, and after dne deliberation called the republican county convention, Saturday, August 18 at 11 o'clock a.m. L. H. Fort was appointed to fill the vacancy on the central committee in the 1st ward Tke state board of transportation created by the last legislature, is not idle by any means. It is working hard in the interests of the people to secure still further reduction in freight rates in this state. The State Board recently issued an order materially reducing nearly all classes of freight. Clafs 4, which includes coal, is reduc ed under this order from 70 to 50 cts. for 101 pounds for a disstance of 390 miles. The Surveying outfit for the Ne braska Southern, (Santa Fe R R Co.) were in tke city Friday and step ped at the Furst house. They re port a good line to Minden and Kear ney, and we understand they will set grade stakes in a few days and that work will commence soon. We hope it is so. Now then, oar rail road committee should call on the other roads headed this way and see what prospect thare is for the other roads. There are seven national tickets now in the field. With the republi can and democratic nominees all are familiar. The other five are: The prohibition party, Gen. Clinton B. Fiske of New Jersey and Dr. George l Brooks of Missouri; industrial reform party: Albert E. Redstone of Califor nia and John Calvin of Kansas; wom an suffragfefs, Belva A Lockwood of Washington and Alfred H. Love of Pennsylvania; union labor party, A. J. Streator of Illinois and Chas E.

An attempt was made this morning by some miscreants to wreck the morning passenger from Hastings by placing a tie on the track four miles north of Amboy. Fortunately no damage was done as the tie was dis covered before the train got to it. The B. & 31 will sell round trip tickets to the reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic at Hatty, Neb. at one fare and a third, July 31 to August 4th. good to return until August 5th. A. J. Welch. Agent. The Chief is requested to announce that the meeting called to organize the Webster County Harrison and Morton club ha6 been adjourned from to-night to one week from to-night for the nurpose of consulting with the republicans of Red Cloud and Webster county as to the advisability of proceeding with such organization. Last Friday J. D. Post's house on Elm Creek, valued at about $500 was consumed by fire. The boys were sleeping in the house at the time and before retiring they set out a smudge to drive mosquitoes away, and a few minutes later the building took fire therefrom. The fire was visible in Red Cloud. The first issue of "Progress" by W. N. Kin?, formerly of the Helmet is on our table. The paper is a seven column folio, very neatly printed and ably edited. The political aspect ef the paper is independent we infer from the editor's salutatory. The Chief wishes 3Ir King and his -Progress" success and prosperity. A romantic marriage took place Wednesday in Judge Sweezy's court by Thos. H. Douglass and Mattie E. Johnson of Graham, Texas, were join ed in the happy bends of wedlock. The two had driven overland from Texas in a covered wagon, and on reaching the metropolis concluded to "tie up" for better or worse. Rev. Sweezy tied the knot as nice as possi ble and sent the happy couple on their way rejoicing. These headquearters acknowledges a pleasant invasion of its sanc tum by Hons, C. E. Yost and David Mercer of Omaha. Mr. Yost is a candidate for State Treasurer en the republican ticket and has a myriad of friends all over the state. The Chief believes that a wiser selection could not he made than that of Mr. Yost for state treasurer, as he is both able and competent to fill the office to the sat isfaction of the people.

An observant citizen iakes the fol lowing calculation, which is given for what it is worth: Out of every ten average American men. one will .take the wrong side of the walk, two will stand in the door of a car if there is no seat, three will sport a toothpick in their mouths in public places, four will expectorate in public placet, five will carry an umbrella horizontally under their arm in the street, six will cross their legs in a car. seven will fail to remove their hat in a down town elevator when a lady enters, eight will forget to shut a car door when they go in or out, ninewil! risk -their lives to catch a train when thcy could just as well wait for the next one, and the whole ten will growl all their lives at public nuisances" without doing anything to abate them. ! Hot a Caadldatr. Editor Chief: In yaur issue - of Saturday last my name was mention ed as a candidate for State Senator in this District. Will you kindly state that such is not the case. I have said to my friends that under bo circum stances would I permit my name to be used as a candidate for thai xr any other office and I meant what I said. The fear that they might be misled by your notice induced me to ask the publication ot this statement, G. B. McKeedy. There seems that a compromise to be a chance may be effected now by the strikers with the 'XJ" sys tem. It is high time that an end come to the business. The public has suffered for several months and we believe that the -'Q" -managers should try to compromise with the strikers and thus end a disagreeable fight between labor and capital. It seems to be a very sttong im pression both in Superior and Red Cloud among those who ought to he able to form a correct opinion in the matter, that work on the Nebraska Southern will soon be .commenced. The survey on this route is now being pushed on northwest from Red Cloud to Kearney.
