The marshal should enforce the ordinance in relation to throwing rub bish in the streets. There ie not anything that makes the city look so bad as to have a lot of rubbish in the streets. Have them cleaned up by all means. The city council should see to it that the hill near the depot be widen ed out It is in bad shape for team ing or driving. The street should be widened at least six feet to make it safe and in shape to travel over with any degree of comfort. L. H.

Let the the great Republican Val ley this year unite upon, at least, one candidate and he can be nominated. The first time it was ever united G. L. Laws was nominated without trouble. This year, Mr. Laws will be re-nominated by acclamation, and the valley should unite upon Hob. G. R. Chan cy, of Red Cloud, and demand his nomination. Let the valley counties stand together and they can dictate, for at least, one ofice. By all means stay together. If yon seperate, you are gone, and there will he no repre sentation on the state ticket this fall from this section. DoM That Arc Dos. Some dogs in this city are getting too mucli.of the children's bread. They don't stay under the table content with th e crumbs, but jump rijiht up upon the family board and seize upon the childrens laf. They need their nozzles rapped, with the sharp com mand, ''Get down, you brute." I don't know anything about the bank loaf. Mic political loaf, the loaf of this business cabal or that social junto, but the loaf of morialty and decency, public and private I have a large and life interest in. one that reaches away on "Ovc the River," and I'm going to shoot, bve and bve. right where seme of these dogs are gnawing away upon the childred's loaf with their nasty, harpy touch, and if they don't "git from thar" they'll get hit.

Hastings on the east and Iloldregc on the west did their best to defeat the bonus, coming over into Keatncy county and poisoning the minds of the foreign element especially against them. Such comsummate cheek we never befoie heard of one county manifest ing toward another. On Thursday this city will carry bonds to the amount of 55,000, after which it will be understood that work will im mediately begin upon the road, and thus Kearney will have a southern outlet. Kearney Journal. The dedication of Asbury Chapel took place Sunday. The usual cere monies were gone through with. This Chapel was planned, erected and paid for through the efforts of Rev. G. S. Davis, pastor of the M. E church of this city. It is a beautiful piece of architecture and the south end of our prosperous city should place the honor of its erection where it belongs. If the M. E. church had a few more such workers as Rev. Davis we would look forward to the erection of a fine brick edifice up town. G. R. Chaney, the valley's candi date for Attorney General, is not the candidate oi any clique, railroad or other corporation, neither is he a demagogue, seeking to hoodwink the peop.e. He is a lawyer of the first rank, and, if nominated and elected, vill see to it that, so far as he is concerned, all persons, whether natur al or artificial, will be protected in the full enjoyment of all their rights under the law. Orleans Press. A pleasant surprise was given on Saturday evening by Misses Nellie West, Raj Letson, Dell Norris, Leone and Lenore Fowler, who generally surprised their teacher on one of her birthdays. A valuable present was given. Refreshments were brought and served. Old hearts were gladen ed by young and merry voices Al together it was an enjoyable and un expected pleasure. There is considerable speculation as to the future editor of the project ed newspaper at Red Cloud. The Bee announces that it is to be one M, A. Mctzger, now of Beatrice, while some ef the people in the metropolis assert that it is to be Prof. Picking. The probabilities seem to be in favor of the former. Times-Winner. John Ducker struts up and down the streets in big style. All because he is uncle twice. This time Mrs. Dr. Beck, of Riverton, makes him uncle by the arrival of a little girl, and over in Illinois comes the news that George Ducker is papa again.' We hope the city dads will bear in mind that the people want that city fountain in the streets. As s on as the creek is tapped there will be plenty of water and the flowing foun tain should he arranged for. The "Estey Organ" is the one to buy. It costs less, is tasteful, sub-. stantial, well built, is superior in tone to any other. Call and see Che Estey at the residence of Sada J. Bailey It is rumored that numerous pick pockets and thieves accompany Gren ier Bros, circus. It would be well for the people to bear this in mind and keep their houses locked. We are authorized, to announce the name of Col. John S. Hoover as a candidate for the off ce of state sena tor, subject to the decision of the Republican convention. n 1 M: 1 31 T I 31 tli .m itj n & .1 ?i m i m 1 -t
