Big Ben
has something to say
to people who like to
get up promptly in the
morning.
He guarantees to call
them on the dot just when
they want and either way
they want, with one pro
longed, steady call or with
successive gentle rings.
And he guarantees to do
it day after clay and year
after year, if you only have
him oiled every year or so.
I've known him ever
since he was "that high"
and I'll vouch for every
thing he savs.

Mrs. Barbara Pharcs, Prop.
Mr. Chris Fussier of Mite Hill has
heeii pievailed upon to file for tlio
ollieo of C u ly Assi'Shur on the Demo
cratic. Ik-hot. Mr. Fussier is an old
resident of tills county mid his experi
ence in btisinciy mutters excellently
lit him for this ollicc. II o enjoys tliu
eonlldcnco ami esteem of his acquaint
ances all over the county and he would
ho u safe c.ireftil uiiiti In tlio position
of assessor.
We hear u ood deal thco days
about men being entitled to ollicc be
cause they have been in the harness -o
loiitf and should be remembered. It is
time thai we took a look at the other
side of tin pane What is an olllcial
for? To win k for the people then it
lh not u ipicstion of time ol service but
one of elllciency. The only way to
select an olllcial is to take the one
that most nearly meets the needs of
the people and let him work for bis
constituents and not lor himself.
Dr. Wiley has resigned. He found
thai the department of aiicullurc
was not only not in sympathy with his
work in seeing that thu American
people icccived pure foods but It also
used its iiillucucc to thwait. his every
move. Hecietaiy Wilson has been on
the job loo lou' ami should be i eplacctl
w ilh a man who is alive to the needs
of the people, lie will have to eo. If
there is any place where a real pin
Hicssivc is needed it is in the depart

Hud peildhus were ujrsiin workiinj
Ibis city this week. To many people
the piuvhaso of an oriental rue; from
n man with a foreign accent is most
plciisliiK especially when the price
seems so very low. To secure a real
work of art direct from the artist him
self is very alluring but it is most dis
tressing to learn afterwards that the
same niK was purchased rinht in one
of the home store for about half what
the artist asked for it. Most of these
peddlars buy their ruc;s of local mer
chants occasionally they ship them in
from a neaiby town. Tlio way to pro
tect your-olf is to patronize home
muichants.
If the hiruc cities all over the
country esert themselves lo secure
conventions of all kinds why should it
not pay the smaller cities'. If a hun
dred people come fiom other parts of
thK county to incut in convention they
cannot help but notice the thrift, the
conveniences, the good stores and
publi.' buildings and consciously or i
unconsciously Uiey will entertain tlie
ideu of coming again. A suggestion
once planted gels to work and winks
all tliu the time. Wo ought to use
every olforL to net every convention
possible to meet in this city. This
policy is one ol tlie very best advertis
ing mediums ami should be used more
than it is.
Among other "free" editorials sent
out by "press correspondents" wo re
ceived this week one which took a de
cided stand on the question of free
sugar. We were assured that we could
Use the article without pay but since
we know nothing about Hie taiiit on
sugar, whether it would be best for
tho people to reduce this tariff or best
to leave it as it is we detoiuiincd to
siy noth'ng. This man may have been
actuated by the best motives and may
lie hoiU'st lu his desire to serve the
people but their- Is a custom well es
tablished in this country which seeks
touo the country press as a menus to
further selfish cuds. An experienced
writer is employed to work up public
opinion He sends interesting mutter
to tho nowspiipcrs of the country but
under the guise of news mid free.
Somewhere in the article ho weaves in
the thing Unit will be of benefit to his
employers. This mutter is then shown
to the coiiKressiiien as proof that the
country demands a certain line of
action It looks llko public opinion
Nino times out of ten It wins. The
advertising has not cost a cent and
the schemers reap their harvest

Nebraska oiitfht to leain a lesson
from the distressing events that have
lately taken place at the state peni
tentiary. The fact that throe men
could jjot away even during a storm is
proof that the Institution is not prop
el ly nrratitfoil or conducted. .Some
believe that the more human methods
of handllnj,' tlieptlsoners are lo blame
for the escape of criminals, Hint they
Imvo been jjlven too many pilvilcdcs
but such seems not to le the case.
Those in I'liniui) of the place say that
it is iiotcruistrtielcd liht ami is mot
iucoiivi n.ciit for tlie ollleials. If that
Is true the sooner a new builditiif is
erected the bolter. lSiitlhuonc draw
back to clliclent woik is the low waes
paid the guards. No man wants to
ciidiiiik'er his life day after day for
foity-llve dollars a month. When the
crisis comes he is bound to look the
other way. So many criminals have
escaped of late years, so ninny people
believed Hint those men would escape,
it is refreshing to know that, these
men did not escape. Tlio shell If and
police should receive unstinted praUe
for their untiriiif,' efforts in the face of
.so many hlndrcuccs and dllllculiios.
The one sad feature of die whole
affair is tlio killing of youii'' Ho-

The Webster County Sunday School
Association held its annual session in
the Methodist chutel'i of this city last
Wednesday and Thursday. On account
of tho blizzard which was rntriiiL' at
the time the aUeiidance was quite
small however the audience made up
with enthusiasm what it lacked In
numbers and a most profitable session
is repoitcil.
The state workers, Miss Drown and
Mr. IClmberly weie on the ground and
each delivered two excellent iiddressss
liking the line of Sunday School work.
In this convention the need of system
atic study was emphasized. Just as
the teachers in the day schools must
lit themselves for their work so must
the teachers in thu Sunday schools
know what they aro doing. A thoio
knowledge of thu lliblo was given as
an indispensable aid to the teaching
of the scriptures. Also a tcacherinust
know the lawsof pedagogy and psycho
logy and child tiainiug. This u.-.'-ocin
Hon aims to stimulate tho Sunday
school t cachets so that they will be
elllciei.t workers.

more than twice the population of
Omaha, and yet the bank clearings

when you take Into account that Port
land is a market for imports and ex
ports, It ought to be twice as much
per capita instead of one-fourth as
much.
I take note that Nebraska is Ilr.st In
