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:

Fourth of July
Boosters Take Trip
The Red Cloud boosters made a liv
ing trip to every town In the county
yosterdny with M automobiles and our
brass band. 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

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.
Notwithstanding tlto intense heat of
the day the opera house was well tilled.

O, the glories of Nebraska! With her
llelds of waving grain;
With their promises of plenty 'neatlt
the summer sun and rain.
Rippling wheat fast turningyellow for
the harvest soon to be:
Rustling cornbiades in the breezes
'making sweetest melody:
Billowed liclels of scented alfalfa cm
ing 'neatlt the skies of blue:
Sunny slopes, and shaded valleys with
t lie clear streams rippling thin
Over all is peace and comfort, not a
trace of sorrow's pall.
And to livo in Old Nebraska is the
greatest joy of all!
O! the glories of Nebraska! Parabroad
her Mtores are spread : '
From the measure of her harvests are
tho distant nations fed.
Hero within her wide dominions,
wrought front stretch of desert
lands.
Is the greatest work of progiess ever
wrought by human hundn;
Here, within a generation, we have
btillded, strong and great,
On a deep and sure foundation, a pro
gressive, happy state.
And at even, resting, list'ning to the
children's laughing call
Say, just living in Nebiaska is the
greatest joy of all!
O, the glories of Nebraska! Like an
Eden Garden spread:
Filled with nature's fruits aud lloweib,
and a blue sky overhead.
Like that 'Land of Milk and Honey"
that the Israelitlsh spies
Said spreael out across old Jordau to
delight their worierring eyes:
Iike old Caanau seen by Moses as he
viewed the landscape o'er,
With that country's richest treasures
laid before him aud some more.
O, there's lots of joy in living where
the streams of plenty How,
And to live in old Nebraska is the
greatest man may know! (
O, tho glories of Nebraska! Sing her
praises full and free!
Wondrous past that's but the promise
of the greatuess yet to be;
Pouring fortlt her wealth of products
as from Plenty's Oolden Horn,
Filling all the worUl's storehouses with
her crops of wlieut und corn.
Spread between 'tleTiniglity river and
the mountains of the west,
Fairest laud iuMill creation, by tho
God of Bounty blest.
Ami front rose of early dawning till
