Tliu city election passed oil' quietly
here Tuesday. The entile Red Cloud
tieket was elected without opposition.
The city voted dry again but by u re
duced majority. Last year the dry
majority was forty-ntue and this year
nine. Superior went wet by a majori
ty of lorty. Rivurton voted dry again
with .t majority of thiity-six and
Itladeu changed to the wet column this
year with a majority of thirteen.
The most important ollleo in the .
eoiinty is that of county commissioner!

district has brought out C. F. Cui.il of!
Illue Hill as a candidate for nomina
tion 10 mat oiuce. M: (iiimi is a man
of practical experience, is careful and
conservative, knows how to build a
mud and is just thu kind of a man
net-ded in that oftice. Ho has tiled on
the Democratic and People's Inde
pendent ticket and the voters of those
parties will do well to place him in
nomination.
Webster county never had a brighter
prospect for a bumper crop than tho
present, The ground is thoroughly
soaked and owing to tho wide spread
Information as to how to conserve tho
moisture in our soil tho fanners now
know just what to do and how to
make tho most of our wealhor condi
tlcms. The so called "dry fanning"
process is no longer a theory but it
lias proven itself to bo tho thing need-
till ror this section of the country.
Progressive farmers havo demonstrated
that they can raise good crops during
It season that used to be considered
unfavorable so wc arc looking for
ward hi the lint! crop with a great
deal of hope.
"The high cost of living" is a phrase
that is just now in overyhodys mouth.
Many are tlio explanations offered for
present conditions. May not tho re
mark of Samuel Smiles inmlo many
years ago on the condition of England
be applicable to us? Ho said: "There
Is a dreadful ambition abroad for being
'gonteol'. We keep up appearances,
too often at the expense of honesty;
Mil, though we may not be rich, yet
wo must seem to be so. We must bo
'respectable' though only in the
meanest sense in mere vulvar out
ward show. We have not tho courage
to go patiently onward in the condi
tion of life in which it has pleased Cod
to call us; but must needs live in some
fashionable state to which we ridicu
lously pleaso to call ourselves and all
to gratify the vanity of that unsub-,
stantlal genteel world of which we
form a part Thoro is a constant
struggle and pressure for seats in the
social amphitheatre in thu midst of
which all noble, solf-dcnylng resolve
is trodden down, and many fine na
tures crushed to death Vhnt waste,
what misery, what bankruptcy cume
from all Ibis ambition to dazzle
otlieis with the glares of apparent
worldly success, we need not describe.
The mischievous results show them
selves in a thousand wavs In tho rank
frauds committed by men who dare to
be dishonest, but do not dare to seem
poor: and in tho desperate dashes at
fortune in which the pit) is not so
much for those who tall as fur the
hundreds of innocent families who
are so often involved in their ruin."
Sunday morning wc had the pleasure
of listening to tho lecture of Rev.
liayne at the Congregational church on
the subjeot of Chi istian Suionco. The
address was well prepared and tho
speaker's language was exceptlonably
good. He praised the work of the
Salvation Army and showed by its
7000 conversions por month that It was
an organization of power. With the
appearance of fairness he character
ized the work of the Christian Science
text book, Science and health, as be
ing weak in words and weak in ideas.
Its lllblo study method as old fashion
ed and mystical. He admitted that it
did cure but lutlmltated that Its use
fulness was mainly confined to cases
of worry and fear. He stated that
this movement had its black side and
that in tho final judgment some one
would bo held responsible for many
lives shortened by Christian Sclenco
treatment, Ho coucludod by stating
that this movement installed no hos
pitals and sent out n missionaries but
Unit this work was done by the old
orthodox church and under thcjOld
orthodox religion,
Tho gentleman however failed to
account for the marvelous cures of
So when you look over our merchandise, con
sider that it represents progress in merchandising-it
represents our idea of service.
In bringing you the besl merchandise we can
buy, we feel that you weigh points of value as well as
price. We have not centered our efforts in buying
merchandise that would be tempting by reason of the
more prices we could mark upon it. Purity, dur
ability, appearance, originality of styles-in a word
Quality is our Ideal. When our prices are compared
with others you will find they are very reasonable.
Christian Scioncc. Fifteen years ago
wo ourselves witnessed healing and
cures that had baud tho skill and
knowledge of tho bc-,t practietioners
of the medical fraternity. Jesus said
"heal the sick: preach the gospel" and
he either meant it or else he did not.
It is no use for minlsteis to day to tell I
us that (Jod had one rule of conduct J
for the human race 'Juoo years ago and '
a different ono for us. Wo believe
that everyone that attempts to preach
should carry his credentials with him,
that is lie should demonstrate that he
had the power to heal tho sick.
Tho trouble with the orthodox church
is that it is doing but a part of its real
work. Tile Salvation At my and the
Christian Science movements are the
two great proofs that the orthodox
church is failing in her mission. Does
tlio church reach out. for the lowest
stratum of society, doos it heal tho
sick? The question is not what it can
do it is what. It does do.
Tlio paiticularly unfortunate part of
this address, in our opinion, was the
attitude of full reliance on the ortho
dox church and tho orthodox theology.
How many ministers of today arc
orthodox? How many today preacli
the eternal tiro punishment doctrine
for tho poor benighted heatheru that
happens to be so unfortunate as to
have never heard of tho religion of
Jesub?
But reverting to the subject of
Christian Science, If this movement is
of benefit to mankind all the opposi
tion to it will not be ablo to check Its
progress and If it ts a manace to
liuman society It will dio ti natural
death. Truth will triumph

Mother has said her "Good-night,"
To the earth with its pleasure and
care.
Her feet have crossed the dark
stream,
And now she awaits us over there.
She would have liked to have stayed
awhile,
If for Jesus and man she could work;
Rut to stay in an invalid's chair,
Was to her the hardest of worlc.
And so our Saviour said to her
My child you've been true to your trust
I'll take you to your reward,
In the home of the pure and the just.
We shall miss you, dear mother, so
much
Words can't express half our grief.
But we lift our eyes te tho Ono
Who alone can give us relief.
So good-night to you, dearest mother,
Till the day when each, ono by ono
Shall moot thro the merits of Jimus,
In the homo where good-byes never
come.
