Next Tuesday In primary tiny You
may not altogether like tit Is piimury
law n lid you may. greatly prefer the
old comcullon system, but lifter nil Wo
iiAX the sj'stcm and must make tliu
best of It. Tlio piimiuy Is tho one
place where tlio Individual voter lias
tlio opportunity of registering Ills
judgment and ho should got out nud
vote. Wo used to hear u good deal
about the i lug uile and the tlu ups
nud the lllco and now nobody seems to
core; thoro Is no rottoneas to cry about
and tlio averago votor lsnppaiontly in
different as to tlio result. However,
as clti.ens we should do our part lllco
men nud go to tho polls next Tuesday
and Hclect our candidates. Every vote
counts.
The year nineteen elovon will go
down into history as furnishing the
most extreme changes in weather con
ditions since the advent of the white
mat). No sooner did we make up our
minds along in Juno that tho Rev.
Hicks was correct, and had settled
down comfortably to a real burn out,
temperature tho highest ever known,
sun. the hottest, work the least, when
along comes the weather man, aireet
lonally culled Jupiter Plnvlus by our
many exchanges, nnd trios his hand.
The rains came and tho floods descend
ed and great was the fall thereof. In
July a shower fell about every day
and duilug tho month. ii totnl of U:I3
Inches fell, changing the tears into
smiles, tho failures into successes and
every one congratulating himself that
after all there would be n bumper
crop. But last week Pluvius outdid
bimself. Already this month we have
had 5:57 inchos of rain. The river is
out of its banks nnd is n mile wide.
Railroad tracks havo been washed
away, fences broken down, cuttle nud
hogs drowned nnd still the river Is on
tho rampage. Six years ago the river
was out of its bunks for a day or so,
but from nil indications this is to last
Indefinitely. Fortunately no lives
have boon lost, nltho there wine some
narrow escapes. While the damage to
the bottom lands Is veiy great, the up
land is being greatly benefited and
corn will be the best ever. Alfalfa U
iu prime condition, pustuics and all
growing crops give promise of an ex
traordinary yield.
One. of the best stories of the Hood
which we have heaid is that about Mr.
F. L. Smith aud family on their return
from the show at Hastings. It seems
that they were coming home in their
automobile just this side f Cowles
when it began to rain, hnd, lo and bo
hold, the mud chains hnd been forgot
ten." Down in the bottom of a little
ravine the machine stuck and refused
to go farther. The occupants waited
for the shower to pass, but before long
the water was up to the fenders and
tben they decided to move. They
apent the night in a nearby school
house and in the morning the top of
the auto was barely visible and a rag
ing river had sprung up like a mush
room in tho night. Tho junction of
,WlUw creek pd the Republican is a
Wilderness of water. Tho Builiugloii
railroad imported two hundred men,
steam shovels, a hundred cui loads of
tics nud ato attempting to keep their
track opon along the main line. The
old track for miles Is unshed away.
Ab it is It takes two liouis to mako
tho rui. of twelve miles. The county
couunissloncts estimate the damngo to
bridges iu this county to be between
eighteen nnd twenty thousand dollars
and the roads hnvo buttered a liWe
damage

To the Voters of Webster
County.
I urn a candidate for re-election to
the oflluo of county judge.
I havo not indulged iu "bpecial edi
tions" or done any "political advertis
ing" for tho reason that I am well
known and the character of my work
lu this olllco is knowu to all who have
had business with me, and to many
other observant citizens '
I ura willing to stand on tho recoid
I have made.
It is urged against me that I live iu
Red Cloud, yet It is well known' that 1
have a residenco In Ouk Creek pre
cinct, to which I havo twice removed
wheu out of olllco and this fact should
settlo tho question of location.
It Is further urged that I have held
this office for some time nnd tho best
answer to that Is that tho majority of
the people nro pleased to havo it so, It
being the fact that county judges
hnvo held olllco in Eastern Nebraska
for long periods aud that further oast
there is little disposition shown to
change piobuto ofllceis, long service
being consideied ns tho best guaranty
of correct title to property through
descent and disli ibutlon.
I urn very grateful for the continued
confidence and help I have received
and respectfully solicit your vote on
tho Democratic-Peoples Independent
ticket at the primary. Cordially,
I. W. Edso.v.

A Statement
To the Democratic and Populist
Voters of Webster County: Twoycars
ago for tbe first time in the history of
my life I was a candidate for a county
office. I tecclved tbe nomination on
the People's Independent ticket for
tbe office of Sheriff and Wm. Kirk-
Patrick was nominated on the Demo
cratic ticket, but tbe combined vote of
the two tickets gave Mr. Klrkpatrlck a
small majority. In the interest of the
ticket and party I withdrew from tbe
Populist ticket and did what I could
to elect Mr. Klrkpatrlck and the whole
ticket. I am nguln nsklng you for the
same position tills year. Tf yon sco fit
to nominate some othor man I urn
with you nfter tho ljtli duv of August
for tho success of the entiro ticket,
but if I should bo honoied with the
nomination and election I shall en
deavor to bo honest nnd faithful iutho
discharge of my duties to the best of
my ability. Thanking you for past
favors I am most
Sincerely yours,

I respectfully solicit your
support at the coming primaries for
election as your candidate for county
olerk. Two years ago when there was
no prospect of defeating Mr. Ross for
his second term, at tbe request of
leading antl-republlcaus, I consented
to the use of my name as a candidate,
solely to assist in putting a complete
ticket lu tho Hold, aud thus making
possible tho election of one or more of
your othor candldntcs. I believe that
my aotiou then was helpful iu preserv
ing our parties in a vigorous and
efficient condition during tbe cam
paign, aud in keeping thorn strong
and courageous to contend with some
show of succcssin the coming election.
Whlle'I do not clm that the party'
is under any .obligation to me,ri yet
feel that Iiu)ouI4J)ei(a, (he Cjltajyeft
