to the interests and using every arti
fice to cajole the people Into electing

field against him we give it out cold
that we will throw our strength of one

With the denth of Congressman
Madison at his home iu Dudgu City,
Kansas, last Motidny the. state of Kan
sas loses one of her most noted citi
zens and the United States loses a
most valuable man. Though not of our
political fntth we have always admired
the fearlessness of the man and hare
always believed him to bo honest ns
well as efllcieut. He represents the
new order of statesmen. All parties
now have workers of the Madison type
and the day is now hero when states
men will take the common people Into
their confidences and will legislate for
their gvod and not the welfare of some
corporation.
Tho Webster County. Fair will be on
in full force next week Mt llladen.
The management this year has :u
r.wiged for a stronger program than
ever before and the public is assured
that there will be something doing all
the timo. All school childieu of the
county below the eighth gnule will be
admitted free on Friday, the closing
clay of tho,falr. A really, truly air
ship will make ascensions every day
auda man fioiu St. Louis has been
secured to make the (lights. This at
traction Is costing the management a
good sum of money, but they will have
u man there who will satisfy the most
exacting. We congratulate Uladeu
upon the thorough manner iu which
those preparations are being made
and can assure her that there will be
a large representation from the south
part of the county visiting there next
week. We would all be there, but
someone must stay home and milk
the cows.
Tho crowded condition of our high
sohool forcibly reminds us that this
district must begin at once to prepare
for new quarters. Either we must
provide more building or else give up
our educational system and we are
ooufldeut that no one will be in favor
of the hitter alternative We owe it
to the city and surrounding country to
provide means whereby the youth
may obtain ns good au education ns it
is posslblo for him to ohtnfei. There
is mi argument presented by tome to
the utTeot that we should exclude nil
children outside of our own district
from attending our schools, but we be
'lieve that to be manifestedly unfair to
those within easy distance of our high
sohool, Iu h majority of cases it
would mean that they would be de
prived of an opportunity of bettering
their iutellectual condition. The non
residents are not many at the most
ad to exclude them would only put
Off tho building which must of necess

we have advocated a number of plans
for OHtnblihliiiiK a library here, none of
which seemed to meet with enough
support .to make any hhowinjj,bnt now
that this arrangement has been made
we bellovo Hint it is a step toward a
fine city library In the near future'
Many of the towns of our size in the
state have excellent libraries at the
disposal of their people and the In
vestment has always proven to be a
good one. There arc other things be
sides lights and water which the city
should furnish her citizens and a
library it. one of the most essential of
those other things. Some people are
opposed to the idea of any moneyed
man giving a library to a town, but the
good that is gained from rending first
class literature more than balances
nny fancied taint that might .stick to a
set of boohs. We trust that there will
be u large dcuiand for the books which
the school hoard hns secured so large
that it will bo only a question of time
when a separate building will be de
manded. A. B. Sellnrs Buys Newspaper,
With this Issue of tho Sun Mr. A. B.
Sellars, recently from tho great state
of Nebraska, becomes one of the pub
lishers, he having purchased an equal
interest in the paper.
Of Mr. .Sell am the Sun can speak in
the highest terms! The former editor
has known him since boyhood and all
during that time ho has been a cul
tured, honest business man, highly re
spected and liked by all.
Mr. Sollars was In the Pacific states
two years' ago and visited all tho won
derful places, Including Exeter. He
went on back east and remained a
couple of years, but the remembrance
of Tulnro county's orange groves and
good roads was ever uppermost In his
mind, and as soon as he could he
wandered back again this time to
stay. U. (J. Knight in Kxeter (Cal.)

The Chief Is pleased to welcome Mr.
Sellnrs back to I ho printing frater
nity, unci for the benefit of tho good
people of Kxeter we will say that they
have secured a man of absolute hon
esty, tiiicpiestioued Integrity, and a
booster for home enterprises. Mr.
Sellnrs worked nt the printer's trade
hero for years and the business train-
lug he has since had in other lines
will fit him well for his new position.

Th.
Former County Clerk
L. H. Fort Passes Away
After lying for a week in an uncon
scious state, i. H. Fort died Wednes
day morning.
Mr. Port was one of the best known
men in Webster county Ho hns
served the public in various clerical
capacities almost from the time of his
arrival here in 1834. Ho was deputy
county clerk, clerk of the district
court, county clerk, city clerk and a
member of the school board. His full i
name was Lofton Hedding Fort, but
ho wns generally known as "Doc"
Fort, although he never practiced
medicine. His father was a pioneer
preacher of eastern Nebriiskn in early
territorial days, mid was stationed in
Omaha in 18110. f,. H , a boy of m,
crossed the plains iu 1803 When the
Union Pacific Railway commenced to
build their lines out of Omnhn, he
went to work In the yards of that cor
poration at omulin and earned his
way through the high school at Coun
cil Bluffs. Iu 1880 ho acted as deputy
clerk of Xetuahn county.
Ho was a member of the i O. O. P.",
the A. O. I'. W., tho M W. A., the
Royal Neighbors, the Rebekalis, nnd
was chief patriarch of the ISncamp
meut at the time of his death.
Mr. Fort wns u member of the
school board at the time the Lincoln
school building was erected. Now that
time has healed the factional dissen
sions concerning the location of that
building, it is generally conceded that
till the members of the 'school board
were faithfully endeavoring to serve
the interests of the public, nnd every
one regrets the bitterness that was
allowed to creep into the discussions
of the day. Mr. Fort was one of the
victims of unjust and reckless cen
sure nt that time, uud he, doubtless,
felt deeply tho unnecessary harshness
with which the members of the board
were criticised for doing their plain
duty. Aside from this brief vis
itation of factional disfavor, Mr. Port
was, during his entire life among us,
exceptionally popular with all classes
of people and ho deserved the general
esteem of his fellow citizens and the
kindness of his neighbors. For the
past two or three years ho hns been
iitllicted with the disease which bo
came berious u few days ago, and
since which time his death becumo
only a ipiestion of the time which his
constitution could resist the coming
dissolution.
Mr. Port was inarried in Nemaha
