Do tboy, Mr. Haley
There has never been 11 tlmo in the
history of Nebraska when the Hepub
Means were inure certain of success
than this year. The cry of the opposi
lion that tho Republican candidates
aro railroad tools has lost its H'oct, us
they bavo always raised the same cry,
no matter who was nominated. It is
riono to divert attention fiom their own
record, which was very fuvornbW to
tho railroad interests of tho state.

The city officers should not delay in
taking up tho matter of paying the old
0 per cent water bonds, but should go
to work nt once. We would suggest
that refunding bonds drawing not
more than 4 per cent bo issued and
that these bonds bo of small ilenomi
nation, optional with tho city after live
years. By doing this wo boltevo that
the majority if not nil of tbo now bonris
would bo purchased by people hero at
home, who now havo money lying idle
and which Is doing thorn no good. By
investing in these bonds they would be
getting some interest on their monej
nnd it would also bo an Invostmont that
would bo porfectly safe. Tno interest
money would in tills way remain hen

Let us pny these bonds nnd therebj
reduce the Interest charges by so much

His Career a High Incentive.

Tho career of Judge Norris, the re

every young man with energy and am

John H. Mickey.
From the Columbus Journal.
The following sketch of tho life of
Hop John II. Mickey, tho republican
candidate for governor, taken from
our history of Nebraska, compiled in
1883, isltbe story of ti very busy man
who bus como to prominence by his
success as one who bns proven himself
to bo an excellent business manager.
All that bo possesses bns been nceuinu

OVER THE STATE.
It is a shame, a measly shame, for
tho fusionists to leave Helen Gouger
out in tho rain. Why don't they pay
her what they ngrrod to pay! They
got tho worst of the bargain, of course,
but they ought to bo used to getting
tho worst of it by this time. If tboy
know what she was when thoy 111 ado
tho bargain, why do thoy kick? If
thoy did not know, they ought, to pay
for buying a cat in u bag. Of course
wo used tho word "oat" purely in a
figurative sense in this connection. But
wo do insist, if tho fusion manage) s
agreed to pay this unsophisticated and
unprotected female $25 por diem, they
ought to pay It if it Kills 'em. York
Times.
Tho esteemed fusionists tiro trying
to create tho impression that J. 11.
Mickey is 11 bloated bondholder, a plu
tocrat. It is reasonable to suppose
that ho is conifoi lastly well oil' us a
natural result of a life of industry m d
economy, coupled with native abilitj,
but he is far fiom being uCiumus. Tho
fact (hat ho has been successful is a
very good recommendation. A man
who fails to maku a success of his
own business is not apt to boriitin
guisheil for good maiiagomoutwheii ho
undertakes I ho control of pidiliu busi

ACCIDENTAL?
The jury returned a verdict of acci
dental death on the man who fell from
the window ledge on which he had fallen
asleep. But the death was really due to

J

possible.

Repair the River Road
Funnels and otbcis living .south of
the river and along tho liver bottoms
ate complaining, urn! justly, too, of the
e uilitio. of the loads leading into Red
Cloud. Tbo road from the river In ulge
t" tho It. iV M. right of way is in a
honible condition. While this maj
not be due to any di reliction on the
putt of the toad oveiseer or the count)
eoiiimisslonoic,' It would si em to an
outsider that something could bit done
toward making the road passable.
Red Cloud is losing its grip on the
trade from south of the river, from no
other cause than d'lapidatcd cnuriition
of this toau. Farmers 1I0 not care to risk
their lives anil their property merely
for the privilege of trading in Red
Cloud mid 110 one can blame them.
There has never been a time in tho
history of this city when tho river road
received the attention it deserved. The
county authorities seem to want to
place tho burden on the merchants of
this city, while tho merchants main
tain that Red Cloud p.iys enough taxes
into tho treasury to Keep the roads
in good condition. This may, or may
not, bo tbo case, but it is nevertheless
a fact that Red Cloud will lose heavily
ttnles! so nothing is done, mid done
soon, townrd giving the people from
south of tho river an oppotttinity to
riiivo to Red Clotiil without endanger
ing their lives and property.

Big Damage Suit Filed
1). S 1'helps of Bladen began a dam
nge suit in tho district court last Fii
day against V. S. Hall, for fatso Im
ptisonment. It seems now that it will
bo Mr. Phelps' turn at tbo bat, and
that ho may bo able to make some
persons pay for the trouble and worry
to which he has been put in the past,
out ot whom he claims is Mr. Hall.
The amount of damages claimed Is
$10,130. Wo suppose tho 3130 is for
witness fees and other exper.ses which
were not paid last spring owing to the
fact that .he bond put up did not .suf
ficiently cover Hie various items.
Dr Damcrell's Horse Shot.
Last Sunday night Dr. Duinei ell's
hur.su became violently in.'ri, and went
charging about the stall, linally going

fractured in the collision with tho barn
and it was tin. tight best to kill it The
horse was shot Monday morning.
County Attorney Overman had drivon
the horse to Blue Hill and back to this
city Suudny nnd it is thought that the
heat affected it to the extent of causing
it to go mad.
