Death azatn cast n shadow over this
vicinity. Saturday morning, when It re.
moved Charles Elil red jre from our midst.
Being pososed'of a qii et disposition
and 11 cheerful disposition he was well
liked by everyone. While having been
injured In a fall in the local railroad
yard?, his condition was not consider
ed serious and his udden demise came
as n shock to Ids many friends.
A posttnoi tern examination, conduct
ed hr our leading; physician, dls-elnsed
thht death was due to a blond olot In
the heart.
The deceased was born near yra
onse. N. Y., May 21. 1S157 and wa-
33 years of ace at the time of his de
mise. He was united In marriage to
Klizabeth Moode in 1SVT. To this
union were born three sons, one ha vum
proceeded him to rhe lite eternal. A
wife and two sons, Wm. E. of Lak Citv.
Iowa, and Hurry E. of Kensington,

Universal Military Training
The war department recommends a
system of universal military training
of I months foi' nil eligible youths in
their nineteenth yeor This'bill calls
for a regular army of SI divisions, with
a pence strength of 510,000 men and
a war strength of a million and u
quarter men.
. For training purposes only youths of
19 years would be called for n pvro.l
of 3 months. It is estimated that this
would provide an annual class of about
(100.000.
For two years after training th-y
would be required to submit certaiu
reports as to address, dependents,
physical condition, etc.
In our opinion tills would be a good
move, its at about Mutt age the average
youth reaches the stage In life where
he knows just a little more than Ids
elder-, and if brought face to face with
real discipline tiin proper mental mor
al and physical truiniug, such as found
in the army and navv, he would re
alize that it was for his own personal
benefit, and Jn all probability would
grasp the opportunity to make n man
out of himself.
On Tuesday of this week Dr. Robt.
Dumerell tiled his petition for delegate
to attend the state constitutional con
vention. This will be good news for
his many friends. His services ren
dered toward the good of the commun
ity and the upbuilding of this city Is
evidence that Webster county will ro
coive intelligent and progressive re
presentation, should ho be selected to
represent our county at the convention.
The Lebanon Anniversary celebra
tion commenced today.
Earl MeKimmcy of Mlndcn spent
the first of the week with his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. McKim-.
mcy. Ho returned Tuesday, via auto
mobile, accompanied by Ids sister,

In persuance with your wish in
referring the petition of C. E. Berg
fieJd et al, in regard to changing
'rputv of Federal Aid Road from'
ReiJ ,Cloud to Guide Rock, for my de
cision would say as follows: Pe
tition asked for would be burden
some to the county on account of
the opening of one mile of new road
across sections 6-1-9. There are not
as many people served in the said
petition as the present route already

There are some four less turns in
the present route and after riding
today over tho two routes with the
State Division Engineer, his approv
al is for the north route. Therefore
I recommend that you leave th's
road on tho route already designat
ed viz: From Red Cloud east ten
miles, south one mile, thence- east
three miles to the county line.
