W. Coci.v.s. As a suggestion to the committee on program for the Fotttth we propose that they invite all candidates for county nfiiccs to enter n candidates' foot race, the winners to receive the preference at the polls and the en dorsement of all good citiz.etiH. We think the candidates will all be pleas ed to enter this race, even though they may not be licet of foot, because they will have an opportunity to get nceiualutcd with a grent many people and will all rocelvu honorable, men tionraAs a drawing card thW should not be overlooked. There seemed to be so much ills agreement as to the new ilshiug and hunting law that wo took measures te find out just what the law is. Having palel our fee to the county clerk we went up and tlciunmled the dollar .back. Tills promptly secured a ruling from tho Mate authorities and we re- produce It here: Lincoln, Nuiii: .

Tho object of this trip was primarily to advertise tho cele bration tube held here on the Fourth and secondly to get hotter acquainted with our neighbors. Everywhere they went they were received most cordial ly and were enthusiastically welcomed. The band especially attracted a great deal of favorable comment. T h e boosters received assurances every where that largo delegations would be sure to attend this celebration and seemed glad to know that for once we were getting up something on thisday teally worth while The club return ed dusty and tired, but feeling happy over the welcome that had been ac corded them. Everywhere their eyes met tho evidences of prosperity. Neat houses, large barns, line stock and the appearance of thrift was everywhere displayed. This impressed Itself con siderably upon those who seldom have opportunity to get away front home. Webster county is becoming one of the very best counties in the state. Her farmers keep well posted on the things that portaln to the farm and slto is reaping the benefit. Webster county merchants have large stocks " excellent goods and they are well displayed. Everyone that went with the party is firm in tho belief that the trip has drawn closer the bonds of good feeling existing the other cities of tho county and Red Cloud. The dilVerout makes of the ears in the procession were as follows: 0 Fords, fi Ovorlands, 4 E. M. ,v Fs , 2 Maxwells, 2 Franklins, 1 Everett, I International, 1 Mason, I Jackson, 2 Steamers, 1 Mitchell. At Guide Rock two cars joined tho party and made the trip with the rest of the orew. In these ears wore Robert Oarrlson, Auto dealer, 1. W. Crary, merohantilo, Chas. Hodges, merohautile, I W. Roland pinno dealer, Titos. Rnsh piano dealer, John Kent auto dealer, ami the able editor of the Guide Hock Signal Harry Vaughan. There were twovars which joined the party at Cowles but we were unable to learn who filled tho seats. Blue Hill met our delegation with tastefully printed ribbons weloming ns to their thriving city. At lUadon after the band concert wo were shown the entire town and sent on our wny rejoicing. At Campbell tho party waited for an hour to got on schedule time and this hour was very enjoyable. Supper wits served in Riverton and evetyone hud it good appetite. The registers showed thnt tills procession traveled eighty eight miles and there was not an accident to any of the machines worthy the same. This is a remarkable showing owing to the number of machines and the amount of dust that they made. Decoration Day Observed by Our Old somiers On Tuesday Decoration Day was ob served as per program. The Decor utlon services weie participated in by a great intiny of inn- cltl.ens and the program was eariicd out with remark able pioniptness and excellent pio puratiiin. The Citizens Rand rniulnro.l excellent service and Messrs. IMatt. Cieighum. Atnaek. Red (Mmnl Am.. Co., and Mrs timid very generously iionaieii uicir automobiles for entic ing the old soldiers to the cemetery On returning to the Opcta House the piogrnm was resumed and all the little folks showed excellent (mining. After the reading of (he long list of comrades dead and buried in tho Red Cloud cemetery by S. B. Klcr, Rev Tonipkinspastn.of tho M. E. church delivered an entertaining discourse. Mr. Tompkins staled that it has 'been rctunrked that the Methodist preacher could not be hen id and he cousideied this quite a phenoininn and this re minded him of the btory of the Old colored slave who frequently used big words and his master ashed him to give the meaning of phenomenon, The old darky replied that sposen youse gwang down the road an yonso sec a cow, dat wouldont bo it and sposen youse went on furder an youse seen a thistle, dat wouldcnt be it an Bposen youse went more furder -an seen U bifd fiingin on the fence, dat woiildnt bo lt-t-but sposen yotiso seen n cow aittcn on h thistle, singln like a bird dat would be a phenomenon." Mr. Tompkins stated that his sermons disturbed tho meetings iu the neigh boring churches arid ho really con sidered it quite a phenomena that he could not be heard. Mr. Tompkins gave a very lucid description of the horrors of war, in terspersed with considerable humor and witty storieSi He told of the mobli.ation of tho northern troops to go to Hull Run, how the boys were irivnn a farewell banquet by mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts. He told ol the teats and sighs as the train came In to take them to the southland. He told of the sobs and walls and aud ible hcurtuches of lovers and loved ones when the otlieers called "all a board" how one young soldier tore his weeping girl wife from his neck, cast her to the ground and rushed up tho steps of the car for fear his cour age would fail. ' " Mr. Tompkins described the battle of Gettysburg and told of Lincoln's prayers for victory on this momentous occasion. He told of tho elfectof the hardships and trlnls of war upon the soldiers, and how after tho war had ceased, and the boys of '!1 had de veloped into hardened experienced men in 'Uneducated iu all the vicious ness that close associations of camp life could afl'ord, were to be returned to their innocent fnmllies and moral unsuspecting communities. Hut diff erent from the French the disbanded army returned to work each soldier in such line or in such capacity as he could perform. Mr. Tompkins very pathetically concluded tho soldiers before him were becoming infcebled and were rapidly declining that ho knew not how ninny of these soldiers death would claim ere another year passed by that ho wished Tor them very greatest happiness and comforts between now and death that they would have plenty of fried chicken and irravy, and baked potatoes, mince pic and amber colored collce with real Jersey cream.
