Mrs. Hippan. a woiniin 72 yours of age, who lived with her son-in-law, a Mr. Sehwenkn, on the Andrew Kriek sou farm, up northwest of Red Cloud, was so badly burned yesterday morn ing Unit, .she died before evening'. She wis out in the field helping burn corn stalks when her dress caught lire, and before help arrived her clothing was almost entirely burned from her body. Dr. Cook was summoned from Red Cloud, but the aged ludy was beyond help and she died yesterday evening. Funeral services were held this after noon at the Danish church. A Suggestion From Blue Hill. lii.rr. Mil. i , Ni'.n., May .'I. Kditor Kei'C ...ief: ' The result of the bond election have- Zing now been generally discussed and digested, it seems to me proper that there should be some interchange of ideas in the effort to arrive at some a definite- conclusion regarding the building of a suitable court house for Webster county. It is reported that there is some soreness at the county seat in regard to the election resultr and some disposition to regard it as a blow at the city f Uetl Cl-uiid. If thin be true it is. I think, entirely unwar ranted by the facts. While few voters supported the proposition this should not be construed as a '"slam" at Ked Cloud. not at all. It simply indica ted that the plan voted on was not satisfactory. Indued it does not seem to have been entirely satisfactory to lled Cloud itself, as I notice Hint a c insiderable vote was cast against it there. Neither should this remark able result be understood as a declar ation by the voters that they are nu ll willing to build a courthouse nor that t'icre is a disposition on the part of any large number to ultimately change the location of the county seat. The county seat will always be at Ited Cloud ami the voters are entirely will ing to erect a suitable building, one suited to the present and future needs of the county. Hefore writing this letter I have talked with a large number of repre sentative business men and farmer and, almost without exception, they unite with me in thinking that the isue of bonds in any amount at all is unnecessary and objectional and that in all probability no bond issue, no matter how small the amount, could be carried. Our people li. this part of the county are practically a unit for building a court house--and, paying for it. The experience of the county with bonds lias not. been of such a nature as to render further issues attractive. The "Trne of .'".i years ago is still largely in front of us after paying interest enough to build the finest kind of a Vurt house. While opposed to a noun tike delight in seeing them "go - in issue we arc entirely willing to join t le proper place. Itut the main busi in a program something like this: ness street is no place to speed horses. First pay oil" the present bonded debt; Last evening, between supper time just as fast as the Lord will ' and dark, not less than a dncn differ let us and, when that is done, then i cut persons took occasion to give hivy an annual tax for court house driving exhibitions on Webster street erection until we have an accumulation j and there were several bursts of of say S 10.000 or SI.'.. 001). Then we speed which cracked if they did not are ready to build and have the money I break the city ordinance In reference to do it uith and. if all graft is elimi-, to fast driving. On more than one lnatcd as it will be without doubt, we occasion accidents were narrowly s'lall get as good a building for , averted. People crossing the streets that money as some other counties were compelled to dodge and jump to have obtained for much larger sums, get out of the way of tlio reckless And the best thing about a building' drivers, and more than once wo held so built is that it will be our building our breath as someone sidestepped and we shall have no rent to pay in just in time to avoid being run over, the. form of interest charges. -And it This racing on the main streets should need not take very long to carry out be stopped before somebody is serious thij; program. A few years will hl- ly injured. complish it. If this line of action is a lopted 1 feel sure it will prove emi nently satisfactory and it will certain ly save a vast deal of money. We can point to our court house with pride and rejoice that we owe no tiitm any thing. How does this method strike t'ie readers of the Chief? I simply offer this as a friendly and perhaps a helpful suggestion in a mutter in which all public sprinted citizens of the county should be interested. I t"ust it may lead to other expressions in the same spirit and toward the same end. Yours truly. 11. A. SlMI'soN. We will state for the benefit of Mr. Simpon that there is not so much 'soreness" in lied Cloud ns one would naturally expect. In regard to paying oft" the piesent bonded debt: That can not be done for twenty years, as they are not payable at the option of the county. Ten thousand dollars w'U be paid in l'.KISt. leaving 8:10,000 still to pay in the next twenty years. This is not the fault of the people of Ked Cloud, nor of any other particular locality, and we know of no way out o it except to grin and bear it. We don't want to wait twenty years to begin work on the new court house. The Hypnotic. Exhibition. Marquis the hypnotist entertained a large crowd at the Orand last night. The program was made up of old and new demonstrations ami in all was a creditable performance. A number of young men were introduced in the fishing, swiming, cow milking, prize fighting and other ridiculous stunts while the professor also gave some scientific demonstrations that were in structive and interesting. His self hypuDsis was something new to our people and the fact of him successfully hypnoticlng himself In-forts the au dience was testified by a committee of our townsmen as being genuine effort. While in this sleep pins were thrust in his arms, his body rolled off the chair on to the floor without any ef fect noticable upon the subject. His recovery of a pin taken from a lady in the house mid hidden upon the person of another lady was a clev er piece of work. This is accomplish ed through what is known as mental telepathy and the lady having the pin hidden upon her taking two or three runs around the house last night cer tainly made it hard labor for the pro fessor, but added to making the feat much more ditllcult. Marquis is one of the best in his line of work. He was for years with the famous Flint and docs every thing possible within tlie realm of hypnotic work, lie will satisfy you if you are skeptical as to hypnotism ami demons trates' that it is a real science and that there is "something in it." (Jo and see him tonight. An entire change of program will be given. There is no limit to the possibilities in the work of hypnotism. The courts, medical ovpertsjund legal authorities recognize it and you should know something about it. This is your opportunity to see one of the best on the road. Perry Dally Ucpublicnn, Perry.
