ADVBIJTIHINO HATK8: Purnlnhcd on biiIIchI!oii. 'ELEPHONE. SEVEN TWO Teddy" Iiiih killed ttno her boar. Lot's organize u commercial olub. d'ood roads tiro the path to success. The enterprise or n town is indicat ed by the appearance or its streets. Another week has piihsed and tho Russian and Japanese fleets havo not yet come together. IT tho citizens or Red Cloud want the interstate reunion again this rail it is timo something was boing done to secure it. Tho balloon method or advertising will not draw much trade when tho roads are so bad the farmers can not get to town. It is easy enough to toll who aro tho 'livo" merohonti and prolessional men or a town by looking through the advertising columns or tho local papers. A great many people aro or tho opinion that if Nan Patterson did kill Caesar she should be acquitted, and thtit if she did not ki 1 him she should have done so. President Roosevelt would havo no trouble in following tho fresh bear tracks in tho Chicago board of trade wheat pit since tho collapse or the Gates eoner or tho May wheat. Next Wednesday night tho now mayor and council will tako ohiimo of o ty nifaini. It is not anticipated there will bo any radical changes from tho policy pursued by tho present ad ministration. Whllo we bolievo in furnishing en tertainment for tho farmers who como to town to do their trading, wo believe that fifty dollars a week could bo more profitably expended in providing roads that aro pnssablu. For several months tho attornoys lor tho prosecution in tho case against Nan Patterson havo been claiming that if they could only got hold of J Morgan Smith, brother-in-law of Nan, and bring him into court, they would be ablo to provo that ho purchased tho revolver with which Caesar Young was killed. When Smith faced Pawn broker Lovy, Irom whom tho gun was purchased, tho latter utterly railed to idontl'y him Things aro looking a little brighter Tor Nan. That prohibition does not. prohibit is very apparout. Whilo in Lebanon Kan., last Friday wo saw moro drunken men than can bo soon in Red Cloud in a week. Thoro is a largo and growing trnflio in jugs and cases which aro shipped in by oxpn ss to fictitious addresses, and wheuovcr anyono wants any wot goods all ho has to do is t go to tho express ofllco and pay tho express charges. Of course tho per son procuring tho jug or case of liquor thinks it his duty to immedi ately get rid of tho contouts, and as a result thero is soon a choico assort ment of "jags" in evidence. We hope that at tho next session of, the boHrd of couuty commissioners some action will be taken toward 1m proving and boautirying tho court houso park. Tho court houso is badly in need or a coat or paint, and tho un sightly hills aud hollows in tho park undor tho direction or a competent, landscnpo gardener, could readily bo transformed into a garden blossom Ing with roses, flowers and shrubbery. It is a shamo to allow tho park to continuo to bo an eyo soro when Tor a very small expenso it could bo turnod into 11 spot to which our citizens could point with prido when showing strangers about tho city. Tho question or proper drainage for Webster street hns long been a thorn in tho flesh of tho city council Tho street will never bo thoroughly drained until a sower Is built which will carry tho surplus water into Crooked creek. Tho town once had an opportunity to secure a sower without tho assurance of bonds, but let tho chance slip by We understnnd that when C. II. Potter was building his handsome brick block ho offered to build a sower that would drain the street, tho cost of tho sumo to apply on tho taxes or tho building for a period of years until ho was repaid Tor outlay. Tho opportunity has passed audit will bo another twenty ,ears before tho sowor is built, from the present outlook TEXAS CONGRESSMAN KILLED Free-for-AII Shooting Affray at Hemp stead Results in Four Deaths. Hempstead, Tex., Apt 11 20. As tho result of the bloody battle here Mon day night, when four men were killed and others injured, Hempstead is un der the control of the Texas rangett. Martial law has not been declared, but the adjutant general arrived with a number .( rangers and assumed charge of affairs. No one Is permuted to bear arms and tho excitement has quieted down. Rollan Brown, the son of one of the men killed at the Prohibition mas3 meeting, was placed under arrest, on a charge of firing the shot which killed Representative Plnckney. He Btated that his father was under the Influence of intoxicants when he at tended the meeting, and that he at tempted to dissuade him from attend ing. His father, however, was firm In his Intention and went to the meeting. The son followed and took part In the shooting It has been established that the trouble began when Captain Brown attempted to secure recognition to speak at the meeting. It Is said that his language was offensive to several ladles present and the fusil lade began immediately afterward Congressman Plnckney was shot four times and was almost instantly killed. Thomas Plnckney, a brother of the congressman. waB shot twice In the back and killed and Captain Brown received a bullet through the heart. John E. Mills, the remaining victim, took no pnrt In the affair and was ac cidentally killed by a stray bullet. The killings are the direct result of a Prohibition movement In Waller county, which was begun some years ago, and the feeling has been Intense. An election was held In Waller coun ty, April 20, and the Prohibitionists, with whom the Plnckneys were aflll iated, were successful. The Prohi bition league was called together to wind up Its affairs and disband.

M Brown, who had figured prom inently as an antl-Prohlbltionlst, sought to have the chairman recog nize him and shortly afterwards fir ing began. MITCHELL LOSES FIRST ROUND.
