UkprnhUemu Cesural Coaasalttee,
All the members of the Republic
Ceatral Committee of Webster county
are requested to meet at the oflbe of
H. D. Raaaey ia iflue mil at one
o'clock p.HL Thursday, Aug. 22, 1889.
I. O. Martin, Chairman.
Quite a severe flood was reported
at Lincoln this week. 1500 families
were made homeless. Salt creek
overflowed its banks which caused
the disaster.
From
tarshal
the evidence in the court
trial of Mr. Fletcher for
conduct unbecoming an officer of the
U. S. army, it looks as if someone
vat trying to put uj. a job on Col.
Fletcher.
Docky says that his paper gives
more lscal news than any two papers
in the city. For unlimited gall docky
takes the medicine chest. Bis last
issue contained about fifteen items and
then didn't say a word about their
11800 mortgage either.
A Lincoln writer to the Omaha
Bee says "that the board of railway
transportation is a nonenity." Cor
rect jie is, and as long as the public
will be imposed upon by such people
just so long will tbey be taxed to
keep up fat offices for men who can't
earn a living otherwise. What the
secretaries of the board do is all done
for political glory.
With a large ' amount of gall and
with more nerve than any one, J. M.
Griffiths democrat national bank ex
aminer announces that he is a candi
date for the office again. It is our
opinion that he is decidedly unfit for
the office, unsatisfactory to the peo
pie. and if Ihoae statements were not
true, his democracy should exclude
him, as there are hundreds of republi
cans better qualified than he to fill
the office. The republicans of this
part of Nebraska don't want him.
Qaeesi Esther.
As per announcement the beantifol
cantata of Qaeea Esther was rendered in
the opera hoase, to a very large audi
ence. For several weeks many of our
iniMM hare been ia training for the
erent ander the direction of Prof. Fou
dray aad wife and we are pleasee to note
that it was one of the moat successful
areata of the season. It has been said
that "large bodies move slowly," bat aa
der the direction of the professor, every
thing moved off promptly and the entire
program from beginning to end was ex
traordinarily good. The costomes were
neat and tasty and the principal singers
acquitted themselves nicely. A rpecial
feature of which Taa Cmar wishes to
make mention was that of the 20 little
boys and girls, and also the dancing by
Pearl Skeen and Nellie MeBride. Both
feature were well done. Tbb Cater has
not the space this week to give a large
account of the affair, bat will say that
the entertainment was loadly applauded,
and especially was Mrs. Foudry enthusi
astically encored after singing a beauti
ful solo. Prof. Jrondry and wife are
cultured vocalists and our home talent are
not far behind them. The cantata was
repeated Thursday to quite a large crowd.
Taa Cbizf is pleased to note the success
of the entertainment. After paying ex
pences the proceeds will be turned over
for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A.

HAS
A Coed Joke.
Recently at a town near Red Cloud
one of our orthordoz churches were
holding baptising services on the
banks of a beautiful stream whose
pearly waters went rippling down to
wards the great Missouri sparkling as
brightly as the rarest gems. After
a-half dozen or more of the candidates
had been immersed there still remain
ed a party named (Moore" to be
baptised. The minister had finished
with all but the last candidate, and
as he was about to receive him or her,
Be suggested t:at some one start
a familiar hymn. In a minute more,
in silvery tones a goad eld sister
started up thatwell known song "And
still there's 'Moore' to follow." The
spectators saw the joke at once and
an audible smile crept over their faces
notwithsta nding the solemnity of the
occasion.
Per Jaejce.
Believing tliat the eople ought to have an op
portunity to discuss the qualifications of candi
dates for public office, I take this method of an
nouncing that I will be a candidate before tbo
republican county convention for the office of
county Jud'f. I. F. Tbuxkey.
When the Republican was first
started the stockholders thought the
prospect for making money was some
thing like this:

Eh! Docky?
A Wise Ceaclaala.
A young man scarcely twenty-one
years of age lay upoa us couch dy
ing; his labored breatTi and the pallor,
that spread orer his once handsome
face cave evidence that consumption
had marked another victim. Kind
Bands smoothed his djiag pillow, and
a loving mother bent over him and
kissed again and,again his manly brow.
As the son sank slowly in the west
ern horixon and night, as if in rever
ance for the life that was about to de
part, was spreading its mantle of
Mourning over the earth, the thin lip3
moved, and his attendants bent over
him to catch the last whispered words;
"Mother, it is all over, before another
day, I shall have ipnc far. far from
this earthly home, but oh mother, as
jon raise my happiness in the future,
wealsa aw oh promise mc that
jow will act let any of the Big 8 at

entering the "pearly gates" would be
extremely doubtful if seen in their
company-
