Dr. Cotitl rn has Mibmtttcd his plim
to tho council for IncreiiHlnK ourwntor
supply. Tho Doctor called to IiIh nld
other profoHhorB of the University In
regard to filters and we now have their
plan. It's up to tho city fathors to get
tbo water.
How big Is Rod Cloud? Now that
thocunniiH taker Is busy ono naturally
dnslrcs to know tho slzo of tho town.
Wo arc conlldont that the returns will
show a healthy inoronso In our popu
lation but how much'.' 'I his Is Nino
teen ten will It bo 10,000?
The Omnliii Examiner has joined
tho puy-aH-you-enter class. An olllco
seeker looking for dollars In the way
of publlo salary looks tho same to the
editor as tho merchant looking for
dollars In tho sale of his wares.
Sounds sensible, suits us too.
We know that It is a trllle chilly but
isn't it about time lo think about I ho
Fourth? If Rod Cloud is to celebrate
the arrangements should be made in
time. There will bo a ball game in
the morning but what will people do
in the afternoon and evening? Does
tho Commercial Club know anything
about this?
Tit, tat, toe, three In a row. That
is what you soon can say about the
newspapers in the city as Boon us tho
Argus Is installed in the newquartcrs.
Newspaper row is as eiiphoneous as
Webster street and why not mnko tho
change Lest some wag should in
timnto that we havo used a word in
advisably wo will say that row rhymes
with dough and not with bough and
inono thing we are nil agreed, wo are
after tho dough, though we aro not
slow to throw the thought in typo.
We bollevo in patronizing home in
dustries. Tho people who have their
money invested in our community and
who help bear tho taxes have llrst
choice when wo como to spare a littlo
of our hard earned money. Our Hour
mill Is turning out llrst grade Hour
nnd deserves tho patronage of till our
citizens. In ordering Hour it is just
as easy to specify Red Cloud Hour as
It is to say Lebanon, Hebron or
Minneapolis. Help the man that
helps the town by using his products.
Tho wireless telephone Is now an as
sured fact. A few years ago a crazy
fanatic predicted that the time would
come when people would talk across
country without wlies and now it
turns out that bo was far from crazy,
just had a glimpse of the future. After
careful tests it has been demonstrated
that it is potsiblo lor a person on top
of the ground to hold a conversation
with an other person down in a mine.
An arrangement Is made to havo a
bell pitched to a certain tone and
when that bell is wauted no othor one
will ring. Simple yet how wonderful.
Its a good thing to have sand. Few
peoplo realize tho Immense bcnellts
received because of the doposit of ex
cellent sand found at our very doors.
Not only is this sand of very lino
quality but. it is easy of accoss aud
plays an important part in the develop
ment of our community. Sand has
mado It poshiblo to build miles of side
walks, build thousands of foundations,
erect houses, plaster walls and cisterns.
We nro not fortunate enough to have
coal mines but we rejoice because of
tho sand.
Editor Talt of the Argus has com-1
nienccd tho erection of his now build
ing on north Webster street. This
building will bo made of brick 'and
will be 10 feet by H10 foot built espec
ially for a printing establishment.
This will give him more comodlous
quarters nnd what is more will have
tho right light in tho right place. Wo
congratulate Bro. Talt both upon hav
ing a building to his liking and upon
Ids erecting u permanent struct tire in
our city. This building will add con
aidernbly to the appearanccof Wobster
trect.
School commencement will soon bo
here. Wo have not scph the program
.yet yet we venture to say that it will
lc a pleasing ono. Owing to the
change made in tho course of study
Iwo years ago tho graduates this year
will be hotter equlppod for tho active
duties of life than many of the pro
ceeding classes. It Is no longer com
pulsory to porsuo a four year course
ia Latin. Our schools have under
gone a change and now soek to givo
what might ho termed a practical
coarse. Tho cultural course Is there
tor those who want It but all students
jacenotiiow required to go through
the flainoliqppor. We expect a great

Attorney McNeny Hears
from Railway Com
mission. Commission Will Mold Session Here
Nuy lUilt. 1910.
The Railway Commission will hold
a notion in tliii city ai the court
hotiso on .May 18th. to hear further
testimony In the matter of the train
sei vice bttweeii Oxford and Hastings.
All cities aud purnons who are inter
ested hi any way in regard to the pass
enger train above mentioned will do
well to be on hand at Unit uinu.
All towns aio urgently requested to
hold masi meetings and scud either a
lull delegation or ropiesontatives to
present their complaints.
The railway commission endeavors
to act to the best interests of all con
cerned ana if Red Cloud, Cowles, lllue
Hill, Uluilen, Campbell and Ayr can
make ubulllcieut showing this schedule
will bo reversed. Here is tho oppor
tunity which wo havo been looking
for and tho matter should be taken. up
at once aud tlioro preparation made
for this meeting. Rest assured thut
Curson Uildrnth aud Hastings will be
on baud to show why tho sorvlce
should bo kept us it is.
All complaints and communications
in couneotlon with this train have
been consolidated and tho Commission
will dotei mine at this meeting which
way tho train shall run. Tho train as
It now runs is certainly vory obnoxious
to the people of Webster County and
tho thing to do is to convince the com
mission that the train running the
other way would bo greatly to the ad
vantage of this county nnd the most
pooplo uttocted.
No time should be lost. Immediate
action is what will count.

were solemnized at the home of tho
bride's parents near Ouido Kock.
Three score or moro relatives and
invited guests were present on this
delightful occasion. The ceremony
was performed by the Hev. Steoley.
The saeredness ortho day, thoholiness
and the solemnity of tho marriage
vows deeply Impressed the entire as

friendj expressed their esteem and
well wishes for tho bridal pair in a
magnificent array of prescuts of both
useful nnd handsome selections. Mr.
Roy Norris is tho son of Perry Norris,
whoso homo has boon near Guide Rock
for many years. Mrs. Cecil Amack
Norris Is tho second daughter of Mr.

LINCOLN LETTER
Lincoln. Noil, April SO (Special
Correspondence) William H. Thomp
son has formally announced his with
drawal from the senatorial rnco. Mr.
Thompson gives no explanation of his
action, but those who nro most in
timate with him know that ho wns In
Hucncod by no political reasons, but
by reasons having wholly to do with
domestic atrairs. The real causo of
"Billy" Thompson's refusal does as
much credit to his big heart and brain
as his services In the cuuso of demo
cracy have dono credit to himself and
to his party. His withdrawal will
bring sorrow to tho hearts of thous
ands of devoted friends and admirers
who have boon nttnehed to him by
hooks of steol forged in the flres of
many a political coutllct in which
"Billy" Thompson bore a leading part.
No eirort was too great, no sacriflco to
large, for him to undertake if by sq
doing he could advanco tho interests
of the great purty to which he has de
voted his life.
Hut William II. Thompson's with-'
No, il is not too lutu
lottiiec.
d in will from tho senatorial race docs
not mean that he will retire from poli
tics, nor that ho will not continun to
bo a leader In the democratic party.
As long as ' Hilly" Thompson has llfo
he will bo ready to respond to every
call his party makes upon him.
Peter Sturdevant of Furnas county
has announced himself as a candidate
for state treasurer on tho democratic
ticket. Mr. Sturdevant wears the dis
tinction of being the only democrat
ever elected to thoolllceof state treas
urer. Evory stata treasurer with tho
exception of Mr. Sturdevant and J. B.
Meservc, populist, has been a repub
lican. Mr Sturdevant was elected in
1884, defeating Lornu Clark of Boone
county. The Omaha Bee bolted
Clark's nomination and succeeded in
defeating him. No one has ever been
able to explain why tho oldor Rosa
water rofuscd to support Clark, and
the cause of tho "bolt" must forever
remain a mystery.
Mr. Bryan arrlvod in Lincoln Thurs
day evening of last wook, looking halo
and hearty. Ho reiterated his former
declarations that lie was not a candi
date for United States senator, but
further than this declined for the tlmo
to discuss the future plans he may
havo In mind. Ho expressed the be
lief that tho democratic party occu
pied an advantageous and strategic
position, and poiuttd to the recent
congressional elections in Massachus
etts and New York as proof that the
people havo rebelled against the ini
quitous Aldrieh-Cuniion tarliV law and
the party responsible for its enact
ment. After a week or two at homo
Mr. Bryan will visit Ills son in Arizona,
and about the last of May will sail for
England, where-he has a series of
lecturo dates.
Addison E. Walt, deputy secretary
of state, announces his desire to be
nominated for the secretaryship by
tlm republican party. Mr. Wait is an
old soldier and has been connected
with tho public sorvlce for many years.
Ex-Congressman Pollard, after read
ing the returns of the special congress
ional election in tho Rochester, N. Y.,
district, immediately reached the con
clusion that his prlvato business was
such as to prevent him from booking
the congressional nomination in the
First Nebraska district. These same
olectlon returns, too. seem to havo
taken tho "snap" out of several other
near-aspirants for tho republican
nomination. Will Iluyward of Ne
braska City, and George Tobey of Lin
coln, are the only avowed candidates
in tho ruce. Hayward, who is secre
tary of tho republican national com
mittee, pretends to bo anti-Cannon,
but a great many peoplo fear that his
intimate relations with the "big wigs"
of the g. o. p. have iutltieuced him the
wrong way. Toboy is anti-Cannon,
and Is seemingly counting on county
option suppoit rather than upon any
political policy he niuy espouse other
than auti-CatinouUm.
In the current issue of tho Commoner
Mr. Bryan takes occasion to deny that
he will start either a prohibition or a
county option paper.
When Mr. Bryan arrived at Lincoln
last wcok a largo crowd of friends and
neighbors met him at tho depot. A
roporter asked him: "Do yon con
sider tho fauna of South America
equal to that of Africa? "I can't
answer that definitely, but I can say
that everything I brought back is
alive." In base ball parlance that ono
was "too hot to handle."
Democrats are naturally jubilant
ovor tho returns from the special
election in the Thlrtv second V..w
York congressional discrlct. In 1M)8
that district, in which Rochester, a
great manufacturing city, iw located,
elected a republican by a plurality of
9,000. Last woek a democrat was
elected at tho special election bv a
plurality of over fi.CoO. Coming so
soon after Foss' remarkablo victory in
.Massachusetts, It is clear proof that
the people aro in open rebellion
against the corrupt political machine
that is in absolute control of the re
publican organization. Tho citv of
Kochester is the lnreest clothinir
manufacturing center In the United
States. The wool schedule seriously
cripples that industry, and Roschcster
went democratic by a plurality of
0,000. The democratic eaudidttte carr
ied every town in the district, which
comprises but one county. The New
York olectlon has already had the ef
fect of causing a lot of republican
aspirants for nomination in Nebraska
to pause nnd consider. It does not
look like a republican year, hero
anywhere.
