It would seem that the Hand of
Fate deals very kindly with some.
With the hour fast approaching when
those who aspire for otilee must travel

At a successfully conducted picture
mIiow, such hh is the Tepee, plctutcs of
every kind and dcticilptiou are ex
hibited, and while some of the very
highest order have been shown here,
never were tho pations of this popular
motion picture theatre, given a better
treat than in wltne.-sing Nedrn, which
wus shown there yesterday, botli after
noon and evening. It is one that you

opportunity, as it will be shown again
thix evening.
Conventions are useful In stimula
tlt.g ambition for great ur tilings. If n
town or community sends one of its
-members to a convention, that dele
gato will leturn full of new inspira
tion, and often stalls n movement
which develops into great usefulness.
Hence the community is the gainer,
and this gives a confidence and a faith
that results in development along all
other lines. None of us do (Uiltu an
much as we could, and no town, or city,
iH8 active as It might be. A ecu

The war In F.urone may have its In

past year than formerly. This Is but
natural. If onn has his choice he

Regardless of tho ties of kinship,
there are about 100 ooO.oOO people who

A mass meeting was held in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms Monday
night to discuss the Fair Association
proposition as submitted byDladeu
It seems that the county fair lias not
proven a success during the past fow
ycare,and llladcu desires to sell the
"franchise." Messrs. Hummel, Cow
den and Maurer, the committee which
was appointed to investigate the mat
ter connected with the fair association,
reported that the association was in
debt to the amount of S17C0. It was
also reported that money to the extent
of $7200, which has been donated by
the county, would have to be returned
if the association ever disbanded.
After considerable discussion, the
Cuathber of Commerce decided not' to
accept the proposal for two reasons
First, because it would Interfere with
our Farmer Institute, which has
proven to be a great success, and any
thing that would injure that institu
Hon should not be attempted. Second,
because of the huge amount of "blue
sky" noticeable in the traiisiictioti.

Soon after taking his olllco, State
Treasurer Georgo K. Hall served notice
on the various county treasurers that
he would require monthly remittances
of their collections of state funds.
Most of the counties have complied
with his ruling except those named be
low. During the 31G days of Mr.
Hall's incumbency up to the 19th of
November, he has written 714 receipts
for county treasurers. This makes an
average of 39.5 dajs between remit
tances or 8 per county in less than a
year. This average of dBys would be
considerably reduced if Dom-lns.
Nemaha, Otoe, Richardson, Sarpy,
Valley, Washington, Wayne and York
counties had not been netrliceut about
making remittance. If we take tie
years lUl.T and 1014 under republicau
administration, we find thtft the pres
ent.9.1 counties made 846 remittances,
an average of K)'.3 days between remit
tances or n little better than 1) ner
county. In this two years of republi
can rule, six counties only have a
credit of 24 remittances each, and 5
havo it credit of 20 or more. Monthly
remittances are by no means an inno
vation. Ruck in 18i7, John B. Meserve
democrat populist State Treasurer, re
quired monthly remittances of all tho
larger and richer counties and iu tlie
two years 21 remittances were made
by each of 111 counties, 20 or moro by
10 counties, and the total number
made by tho then t0 counties was
I.VjII. This is an average of 111 days
between remittances, or over 17 per
cuunt.
