Picket for oity olork will bo a vote for a worthy young man , and ono whono rooorda will be kopl in line shape and oor reot. While the railroads are on Iho move why not Broken Bow make an attempt to secure an extension of the U. P. road from Loup Oily to this city ? Is it not about time there was a change in the oftioo of oity treasur er ? If not , give the present in oumbent a life lease , and put a atop to further agitation. No one in the oity ia bettor qual- ih'od to fill the position of council man than A. R. Humphrgy of the third ward. There should bo no question of his election , His reo ord ou the board the past year merits his return. It is rumored that the U. f. rail road company is at work west of Loup City coming in a westernly direction , but wo doubt it. If the citizens of this oity want the U. P. ro&d they will have to put forth an effort to secure it. There is no man in the second ward more deserving of a unani. DIOUB support than J. W. Bruce for councilman. He is one of the most highly respected cituens of the oity , and highly competent ( o fill the position , If elected th'u will of \\\o \ people will Pftva his support , If tlioao whoa a appetites for liquor lian got beyond their control or the women and children who suffer from the intemperance of the husbands and father , had the ques tion oHmloon license to settle the the vote would bo unanimoui against license. In tha event lioorieo should Carry Ed Royoe is the man to see that saloons should run as near as poisi- blo in compliance with law. He does not patroniio the saloons and is not in league with thorn. He is in a position to demand that laws shall bo enforced whether license erne no license , and for that reason every law abiding citizen should give him their support. How would It do to make the domo- cratlo ticket liryau und Aguin&ldo ? The latter will evidently bo In barmony with that party on the question of our occupancy of the L'bilipijlnoa , and could swallow 10 to 1 , Wauhlngton Press. That would do if it waf not that General Otis will huvo Aguinaldo marked for the undertaker now in a very few days , unless ho surren ders. As a dead party should have at least one live candidate , neither of them will bo available in 1900 , if Bryan continues his suicidal course in which ho is now engaged. "Anti gambling" is the cry of the "Citizens convention" , and they "deplore" what the present ad ministration has done The republicans cans have stated what they will do with this evil in their platform , and it is a notioablo fact that the "GitU r.enii" have adopted the same plat form , plank for plank , with the pledge loft out , but to make it look different liavo changed the arrangement and claim it us orig inal. The platforms of the two tickets being the same , the only question is which set of candidates comes the nearest , as individuals'in private life , and in practice , to conforming to the platforms adopt ed. Mr. Royoo has been a citizen of the oity for fifteen yea . His record is an open book , read it and judge for } oursulf. Wo appeal to the voters who want to BOO the laws rf our oity enforced forced to compare the nominees on the two tickets and judge which will be the most likely to enforce the laws against boot loging should liconao bo defeated. Mr. Royce , the ropublioan nominee , is ao well known that no one will question that ho will live up to the pledges of his party. In aooopting the nomination ho personally pledged hirnsolf , if elected , to use his en deavors to see that Uw was enforc ed and that the spirit of the resolu tions aaoptod by the republicans Wore carried out , Can the oandi- date on the demo-pop ticket en force the laws when hu is compell ed to solicit thu support of the dis > loyal to scouro his olectiou. "Bo careful how you east your ballot. " i License or no license i the ques tion now being carefully oonsiaer- ed by the voters of the oity. Both parties t ave submitted the question to the rote of the people and are pledged to be governed by the majority vote. The usual argn. mante , pro and con , are being advo cated. The evil arising from the triio ( IH goneially .ulmitleil , but HOHIO : trn inclined to I i const ) the liquor Initio soluly from the 11101103 oonaid'-rntinn. Thin , wo regard , is thu most untenable grounds intel ligent people can ukc. If the btitiineaH is wrong no amount of money paid for the privilege of engaging it it can tuako it right. If wrong , those who vote for lioonpo commit. .1 greater wrong than thono who nnKftgo in the t ratio , an they then become our local aironta. The Chief in its last issue , in itn iiHtnl insinuating way'attacks the city administration under rupubli oin oflicialH , during the pant two yearn. A statement of Iho city's financial condition easily shows the falacy of the Chief's statements. The republicans , when they as sumed control of the oity affairs in May , 1897 , found that they had in herited some $1,100 of debts of other adiniiiist re-lions , reaching back to the year 1803 , and immedi ately commenced the ta.s * of pay ing of the accumulated debts of other administrations , and running the business of the oily in such a manner as to prevent the accumu lation of other dobts. How well they have done this the report of W. D. Blaokwcll , city treasurer , made to the council last Thursday night , answers. It is as follows : TKJCASUIIEU'8 REPOUT STnKltT AND B1IIDOB FUN" .

' 98.De ta of 1888 } Warrants M6500 By investigating the oity clerk's records we find that to this last item must be added aeveral claims where no provision has been made for payment , am ounting to nearly $300 , making a total debt of $1,105 coming down from former administrations , which will in the next year be paid. The republican officials of our oity therefore have run the affiirs of the oity for two years , and now have a cash balance of nearly $500 on hand ; and adding to this cash on hand the undrawn portion of the eighty-five per cent of the levy the law gives thorn a right to dra/ against , amounting to about $200 , it will permit this administration to pay off all debit it has incurred , and still have about $700 available funds in their hands at the end of their terms , of which more than half will be spot cash , The two heavy Horns of liabilities in the above report are $278 in street and bridge fund of 1898 , and $24545 general fund of 1808. These war rants are drawn against 85 per eont of the levy for 1808 , and the taxes for their payment have just fallen due. It is probable that before the end of the prosout officers' terms they will bo paid. The oity there fore has not run behind for the past two years. Debts have not been contracted nor permitted to accum ulate beyond the city's ability to pay. The affairs of the city have been reduced to a cash basis , and no one who has labored for the oity has had to wait for his pay. It needed junt such an administration as the republicans have given us to got the affairs of the city in shape. We are now pa > ing our debts as wo go , end credit is duo to Mayor Graham and Clerk Moore for put ting us ou a cash bam. They found us badly in debt and the affairs of the oity being run with out regard to when payment of doblH should bo made. They chocked extravagenou and put ut on the light track.BO that our in come can moat our obligations , and leave us a nest egg of $000 or $700 to turn over to our successors in office , in lieu of $1,100 unpaid bills , And it will bo a hard matter for the Chief to find a taxpayer in town who does not endorse the r-form made by republican officials in the financial management of city affairs. The republican tiokat is composed of ncn who balieve in good city government , and ara pledged to use their ufl'ort to see that [ law and order in maintained , Every leveret ot good order will have no hosilanry in easting their ballot for the straight republican ticket.

Outi in ixansas lives a happy wife. She writes : " I have used Mother's Friend before two confinements. The last time I had twins , and was In labor only a few min utes. Suffered very little. " The reason why whyMother's Friend does expectant mothers so much good is because It is an external liniment , to bo applied upon the outside , where much of the strain comes. It helps be cause the pores of the skin readily absorb It , and it comes Into direct contact with and is absorbed by the parts Involved. Morning sickness is quickly banished , and nervousness is kept completely away. The sense of dread and foreboding is not experienced , even during labor itself. Confinement is short and almost without pain. Recovery is quick and sure. Best of all , Mother' * Friend benefits the unborn just as much as the expectant mother , and when the little one comes it will be strong , lusty and healthy.
