An Ode to a Toad.
Our devil is -a great admirer of the

and the toad had to suffer the follow
ing spring poetry:
Don't kill the toads, the ugly toads
that hop around your door. Each
meal the little toad doth eat a hun
dred bugs, or more. He sits around
with aspect meek until the bug has
nearcd, then shoots forth hi3 little
tongue like lightning doublegeared,
aid then he soberly doth wink, and
shuts his ugly mug, and patiently
doth wait until there comes another
bug.

get it. Rather unusutlly for a poli

ors Esquire Ranny for county clerjk

have the right ring and next to her
own candidate we know of no reason
why Blue Hill should not favor Mr:
Trunkey. Times-Winner.
The Aurora hose company which came
here daring the tournament is decidedly
chronic, besides somewhat giren to pre
varicating it the report published else
where from the Aurora Republican is a
mirror of their views. The Bed Cloud
boys treated them finely, giving them
the cse of their hose which they succeded
in spoiling. It is certainly very nngen
tlemanly for the outfit to go home and
pout because their legs were not long
enough to "get there" when our boys
were in the race. If they are not satis
fied that Red Cloud can beat them, mon
ey talks, aud there is plenty of opportmi'
ity to try it over.

were put between the toam and the gun

directly toward the team. Rube Heleuer
was hit in the hand and had his hat knock
ed off. Jake Monia recived a shot in the
right eye. His left eye had previously
been injured so that he could uct see out
of it. The shot in the right eye blinded
him so he had to bs taken home.

;I should so like to have a coin

why she cut him the next time they

We have heard of maty wonderful
things in Nebraska, but John Jessn
comes in with a report that knocks
the socks off of any potato story
that we have heard of this year. In
one hill raised on his place he dug up
55 potatoes, both large and small, and
besides throwing a few awav he had
enough for three
good meals.
Oh!
shades of Patrick Henry, men cannot
say that Nebraska patatoes arc small
and a few in hill. No sir, no.
On last Friday night there occur
red an enthusiastic railway meeting
at the I. O. O. F. hall, for the pur
pose of raising money to defray the
expense of surveying a route from
this city to Burr Oak via Salem.
The CniE? believes this to he a good
scheme and the best possible chance
we have to procure another railway.
A committee was appointed to collect
$400, but for some cati5C there seems
to be a hitch. If our iargn property
owners have no desire to help boom
the ctty we can not see what is expect
ed of the common herd who baiely
own their own premises. It is hardly
fair for the heavy land owners to ex
pect others to put up money in the
same ratio with them, when thy will
De a thousand times more benefitted.
The Chief is in favor of putting up
the $400 and is willing to contri
bute its share in proportion to
those whom a railway will benefit
the most. We should all be of one
mind when it come to railway schemes
Let the rich chaps put up good,
liberal donations and the less fortu
nate will fill the gap we believe willing
ly. The Chief wants railroads, and
wants them bad, first, last and all the
time. Get to the front, boys,
there.

An old gossip is one of the worst
cursee tQ society and one which
should be abated by some means.
The silent condemnation of the
community is generally sufficient to
quash minor evils but it is inade
quate to down or hush the tak bearer.
A gossiper is a friend to no person
an enemy to all. They may not in
tend to part friends, but they do just
the same. Their tales are generally
falsehoods and reflect injuriously
upon people better than themselves.
They create discensions and keep
society in a turmoil, all to satisfy a
morbid desire to tell something on
their neighbor. These people should
be hated, detested, despised, and
abandoned to their own kind. Res

Chronic Kicker.
Since our fire boys came back from
Red Cloud and since the shabby treat
ment they recieved down there, they
have a longing desire to go to Denver.
August 20, to attend the National
Firemen's Tournament to be held in
that city commencing on that date.
From all reports it seems there is but
little doubt that our boys were
cheated ont of a couple of first prizes at
Red Cloud. It being the first time
they had ever attended a tournament,
of course thad no voice on the board
of control, and to kick wou'd only
have fastened upon them the title of
"cronic kicker"and availed them noth
insjso it was piobably better that they
were able to -'grin and bear jt." As
it was every body could see that our
boys were imposed upon and cheat
ed out of their just rights, by the Red
Cloud folks, who, according to their
own story after all their efforts to
keep their money at houie,"are in the
hole to the tune of over $500." So
apparent was this desire on the part
of Red Cloud to keep the money at
home, that every other fire depart
ment m the state that was in attend
ance noticed and remarked about it
our boys were not only cheated but
other fire departments were also
cheated.
There is no question but that Au
rora has one of the fastest running
teams in the state and we hope they
will go to Denver where they can try
themselves and where fair play w;ll
be accorded them the only thing
that stands in the way is the founds
to bear their expenses. We arc in
formed that 3ir. Wm. Glover has pro
mised them $50, now a few mere such,
and the financial difficulty will be
oveicoiuc. Aurora Republican.
The Republican is clearly in error,
There being several vacancies in the
board of control the president of the
state asscoiation filled them by ap
pointment. J. P. Chapman, chief of
the Aurora lire department was ap
pointed to fill one of the vacancies
and acted on the board at ever meet
ing, and made a good memier. This
does not look as though "they had no
voice on the board of control." The
Republican is also mistaken in its
statement that the Aurora team were
"cheated out of a couple of first
prizes." The principal objection
made by them was allowing the Hol
lands, of Red Cloud to run the second
time, after breaking their cart. This
was done by the board of control,
and the motion to allow the Hollands
a second tiial was made by Chief
Chapman, the Aurora member of the
board. The Democrat would not
make this statement only for the fact
that the Aurora paper is sending out
a wrong impression all over the state
and does a marked injustice to Red
Cloud. The Aurora team got full
justice in every race, as 3Ir. Chapman
certainly knows, even if '.'Old Salta"
does not. The Aurora boys did very
well for a green team and should
choke off the Republican in its fool
ish tirade against the people of Red
Cloud. The tournament management
was in the hands of the board of con
trol made up from all over the state,
and Red Cloud had but one vote aud
that vote was not cast at more than
half of the meeting, as the member,
Mr. Tomlinson, was busy attending to
other matters. The Democrat hopes
to sec the- Aurora team go to Denver,
and sincerely hopes that they may win
everything, but candidly nc do not
consider that they are doing right if
tbey voice the sentiments expressed
by the Aurora paper. York Times.
