tho same opinion.
If tho mnuagcrs of tho Hastings street
fall will agree to cage and exhibit tho

might bo induced to visit that pluco
during tho fair. Wo always havo had
a kind 'o hankorin' to see tbo critter.
Thirty-live dollars for a piano, live

placed upon Ins personal belonging

Next Thursday at tho court hotiso in
this city will occur thu republican
comity convention. From present in
dications the convention promises to
to bo a harmonious one The only
olllco over which thero it liKely to be
any exciting contest is that of .sheriff.
Thu largo numbur of ca ldiilntcs for
that oillcu Indicate a hard pull for the
nomiualion, However it is to be hoped
that it will not result in a lot of otllce
sucking sore-heads after tho conven
tion is over. Only ouo of tho many can
bo nominated, and tho tost should
stand by tho decision of thu cuvcutlnu.
According to all reports thu pops
were hopping piad thu next morning
aftor thu statu convention, when they
went out on the streuls and hi'tird the
cries of thu newsboys: "Morning pa
pers, all about thu democratic conven
tion." Thu populists supposed that
they al.so had huld a convention until
they run across ex-Suuator Allen and
Win. J. Bryan. Then they began to
doubt it, but aftor they heard the ciy
of tho nowsboys it dawned upon them
that they might as well havo sent in
their uudorsomunts by mail and saved
thu wear and tear on their railroad
passes.
. m
J. W. Uuuchoy has, nt tho earnest
solicitation of his friends, decided to
again bu a candidate for tho oillce of
sheriff, For a time John positively re
fused to bo a candidate on nccottnt of
his other duties, but now that ho is
foot-loose he has nt last succumbed to
kls friends wishos. If past records
onunt for anything John will bo found
a strong caudidato, as for four years
be made ouu of the best sheriffs Web
ster county ever had. He proved him
self during his term of oflleo to bo a
natural born criminal hunter and no
uilininnt uns too mu-iII foi litm to inn
down He would take jtitl nt much
trouble to hunt down u man who stole
chickens one wh. lobbed a 'bunk.
Although .liilin may be ti little lute in
entering the race, thu balance of the
aspirants will hud thai he bus iimnik
able "catching up" ciiiilltic.,
In speaking of a speech made at the
county convention nt Hebron last week
tho.Jt ui'tinl siiyc; "Coiigresnian Suth
erland not only asstimo I to lay down
the platfotn upon which the (tiaioiiists
niu to stand, assuming to thu nforcsaid
fuslonlsts all the viituus in the calen
dar, but ho even went so far in his du
ntinclatlon of thu republicans ns to
plan thu platfotn upon which ho wants
them lo stand, Mr. Stithuiland had It
all planned out to his satisfaction that
the republicans tiro to father and fos
tet thu trusts. Hisgioatest grievance
was in thu fnct that Mark Hnuna had
introduced ami successfully passed
through tho Ohio statu republican con
vention nn anti-trust resolution, and
thu fact that this groat financier had
pursued thu opposite policy from Hint
dcslted by thu f unionists, branded him
in their eyes as n scoundrel ami traitor
to tho policy proscribed for him by thu
Dry unites."
Do We Want Pure Wattr.
J. E W. Richards, n well mnu from
Arapahoe, was in tho city the foru part
of the week, having come here at the
request of the city authorities for thu
put pose of looking over thu ground to
secure a supply of water suillcieut for
our city's needs. lr. iticnarus is a
practical well man, and clearly demon
strated to thu authorities that plenty
of pure water could bo had at thu situ
of tho small test wull put down Inst
week In fact ho is so Haugiiiun of it
that lie is willing to make a contract to
out in a well nl that point and euaratiteo
it to furnish 100,000 gallons of water
per day. Hu oilers two propositions to
thu council, as follows: First, to make
a system of ten drive wells along thu
course of tho gravel bed found in thu
test well and connect the satno to thu
pumping station by pines, for SO'.T)
when thu above tun wells shall have
beun successfully driven and linished
and on a test will supply 100,000 gal
lons ner dav. moro than can bo at pres
ent obtained. Second, to make a well
sixteen feet in diameter, Inlcked up,
with eight snudpotnts on thu inside of
snld wnll, driving samu through thu
brick sides thereof to a dlstanco t-f
from llftoon to thirty fuettuto thu grav
el, wherever required to obtain tho
greatest How of water. This wull will
cost 91,000, payablo after it has been
aomplcted and connected to pumping
tatluu, aud upon lust will supply 100,
000 gallons of water per day. more than
is at thu present time furnished by tho
water s vsiem. l ucso are mo two prop
ositions as submitted by Mr. Richards,
aud they certainly seem very fair inas
much as hu is willing lo guarantee his
work aud insure a plentiful supply of
pure water, somulhkng this city has
never had. However, thu city council
has urn desire to call down upon their
heads thu maledictions of some un-
Sratufui people for such useless expen
iture as some chooso to call it, with
jut giving everyone nu opportunity to
exptess luuir viuws of tho question.
For thu purpose of gutliug too senti
ment of tbo peoplo on this subject the
mayor has called n cilizou's meeting
tor next Monday Inight nt 8 o'clock,
at the Fireman's Hall at which Mr.
Uichnrds will be present and thorough
ly explain hlo proposed plans, and
ovoryouo iuterested In pure drinking
water should be there. If you want
pure water that will be the time to say
so, aud if you don't caro enough about
pure water to attond tho meeting and
say so the council may take it for
granted that you are satistiod with
water tillered through pig pens, cow
yards aud manure piles in dry weather
wheu the water in tho present wells
nets short, and lot tho puro water ques
tion urop. ii you are interested in

Communicated.
To the Kitltoi In keeping read up in
tho )yc fits ease, Is one not Mi tick with
the fni ee which U being played in the
trial O)of I lie pi loner, and feel at the
entile lime irnitfful for having been
burn in the Unhid Slntei of America
It would lie a itiange proeeedini! In
the eyes of any Ameiicnii who could
witness It aud more o to nu American
lawyer familiar with the civill.etlmctlf
ods of (lulling the truth.
In tend of telling facts men simply
get up mid miiku speeches, and state
couciiHlous and call each other hard
names. Up to this time there have not
been one bundled words of testimony
introduced agalr-t Dreyfus but would
have been promptly and properly tilled
out by an American judge.
If it were a habeas corpus ense In Ne
braska, Dreyfus would not have been
detained in custody over night and if
Franco would permit us to send over
ono pood justice of tho penco with a
copy of "Greenleaf on Evidence" ho
would In n day hear nil material and
competent testimony, restore the pris
oner to his family, declare the coutt
ndjourned, and, with his "Ureonleaf"
under his arm, come back to Nebraska
and serenely tace up the work laid
down for tho occasion, and feel that ho
hnd simply performed a reasonable
survlco to a falsely-accused citizen of a
sister republic, aud dealt out a good
strong blow in tho interest of humanity-
No sooner does a witness c include
his testimony than some follow hops
up and asks that ho bo "confronted"
by tho retiring witness, which requet
is granted, and thou begins another
scene such as is simply indescribable,
so (till nl spleen Is It, and so exceeding
ly rediculnus ns oftentimes to sot the
spectators in n roar. Now this court
martial trial is not so much for tho
purpose of punishing Droyfus as it is
for a vindication of the "Army," a vast
majority of tho French people believing
that tin army is second only to the Al
mighty, if second to nny powet what
ever wliethei on earth or in the skies,
nnd vnuld, doubtless, stand up for the
army nt the. expense of meeting with
dlvlnu disapproval.
Imagine that you tire attending the
trial and that you are straining every
nerve to catcli each syllable as it falls
from thu lips of M Bertillou, ouu of
thu star witnesses for thu prosecution,
and you am rcgnlcd with tlto following
ns one of his very strongest arguments
in proof of tho prisoner's guilt: "Thu
handwriting of thu borderauobeys n ge
ometrical ry ,lun, ol wnieii l discovered
the ('(itiation in the prisoner's blotting
pail."
Why I tho palmiest days of tho
county bar, when the niembeis
chewed black Navy plug and spit
across tho table a, one another and
made faces behind the judges back,
sink Into nothingness when compared
with tho antics of most of the witnesses
and lawyers for the prosecution in tho
Droyfus case.
It now remains to be seen whether
tho "Court" will havo the manliness to
dcclaio tho Innocence of thu prisoner,
nnd Hint, too, (outside of France) with
tho npproval of tho wholo civilized
world. J. M. Ciiaffin.
