THURSDAY , APRIL 11 , 1U01.
It is reported that Annelmo's
vote on license was 30 to 0 , in favor
of the open saloon. It would indi
cate thnt there is no probability of
tbo town going dry soon.
Since Aguinaldo has been cap
tured and tnkon the oath of alleg-
iauoo to the United States , it will
bo in order for Pettigrow and a few
of his devoted followers in the
United States to follow suit.
The promotion of Fred Funston ,
to a brigadier general , as a rucogni-
lion of his ability and courage as a
soldier and commander , was the
correct thing to uo , and will moot
the general approval of the public.
The crowning feat was in the capture -
turo of Aguinaldo. While strata
gem was used , courage was also an
indisponsibla constituent of the
sticoees of the daring exploit. The
plan was his own , and the execu
tion of it depended wholly upon his
management. The service was of
invaluable moment to the American
Army , and the honor conferred up
on him , with the otnoliimontB in
cident thereto , wore worthily be
stowed.
Governor Dietrich outs down
appropriations in the same whole
sale manner as the alleged "re
formers" increase thi'in. In deal

the state government , Governor
Dietrich withheld his approval of
the section providing $1,000 p r
aunnm for a clerk to the court re
porter and § 800 for a deputy libar-
iau. In tUo-coiirH3 of his moHuago
the governor says , "My approval is

may not bo a reformer in name , but
ho is a reformer in. fact , which is
much bettor Falls City Journal.
Jas , t. Mo Williams , an old
boldior. of the Union Army of the
sixties , has a valuable relic oi the
days of the civil war , of which ho
is justly proud. It is a copy of the
Union Volunteers , published at
Louisville , Kentucky , July 10th ,
1803 , by llankins & Walbridgo
The front page has red and blue
borders , and two largo flags adorn
the page printed in rod , with the
words Gettysburg and Vioks-
burg above them. The
paper gives a detailed account
of the rebels evacuation of Gettys
burg , and the surrender of Gen.
Pomuerton of Vioksburg to Gen.
Grant on July 4 , and the oommuni-
cations between them loading up to
the surrender. The paper is one of
the regular editions , which Mr.
MoWilliams received at the time as
a subscriber. Ho values the paper
very highly , and it in well that ho
should ,
This spring is most favorable
for tree planting. The opportun
ity should bo improved by every
land and lot owner in Custor
county. Arbor day does not come
until the 22 , but as this weather is
very suitable no ono should wait
for Arbor day. The town , espec-
iully , would be very greatly im
proved if ito streets , three blocks
from the public square , were lined
with thrifty trees. A popular sub-
Hcnption could easily bo raised to
purchase trees or to hire some
one to go to the Loups and secure
the necessary number to ornament
the lots and blocks unoccupied ,
three blocks from
the square on
Maine , Broadway and Cedar streets
and Third , Fourth and Fifth
avenues. We would suggest to
make the undertaking more certain
of Bucoesa that the city authoritioa
have ditohoH plowed along the line
of streets where the trees are to bo
planted a foot and a half deep , in
which to plant the trncs which
should bo left open for mulching
purpoHos and for additional pur
pose of convoying nioto of the rain
fall to llio trees. If the city will
have the dUohcH plowed out wn
behove most of the residents will
see to it that trees are planted on
their respective lots or blookfl , HO
there would be no expense to the
city oxoopt securing the trees I H
the plowing can be done with the
city team ,

a salary of $2,500 , a year :

J. S. Kirkpatriok was formerly a
resident of Broken Bow , and
pardner of Judge Holoomb , and
is well and favorably known to a
largo number of the people of
Custnr county. Ho served several
terms as county attorney of Custer
county. Custor county has two
representatives in the Supreme Court
and will have the chief executive in
a few days , if present plans ma

If Aguiualdb was worthy to be
called "the George Washington of
the Philippines" ho cannot violate
his oath of allegiance to the United
States without sacrificing his per
sonal character as a man of honor ,
which IH essential to patriotic load ,
orship , A man who has violated
his oath , given under solemn cir
cumstances , oan never inspire con
fidence , llonce , Agninaldo is dis
posed of , ns a leader of the insur
rection unloHB hit * character is as
some have painted it. If ho is the
man that the anti-iinppmlists have
proclaimed him to bo , ho must keep
his oath.
Alasl for Snl/.or and Lentz and
Pottigrow : alas ! for Bryan , too ;
that they are placed in this em
bairaesing position ! First they
said the United States Army could
never put down the Philippine in
surrection. But it did. They said
Aguinaldo would never give up.
Butho has. It they now assert ho
was influenced by the flesh pots of
Manila , or mouoy , then they must
have been sadly mistaken in dubb
ing him "the George Washingtoi
of the Philippines. " If they were
right in that estimate of his intel
ligence and his fitness for leadoi
ship , then they must accept his
belief that it is for the best that
American authority shall bo accept
ed. Aguinaldo is on the ground
Uo knows what the United States
rule is over there. Ho has in
dorsed it by submission. It is
certainly tough on the Pottigrowe ,
and slows what a hard game it ia to
buck the United States , cither at
home or abroad.

Kev. Sheldon when editing a
daily paper in refusing to print
Fraternal items , mggests his idea
of what Christ would think of
Fraternal work , but wo have a
childlike faith , nevertheless , that
He could not condemn the bonoti-
ciont work that Fraternal men and
women are doing. The people who
compose those societies are the
Haino 11 ; eh and blood with whom
the Master mingled at the marri
age feast and upon whom in His
dying moments He looked with
tenderness.
The needs of humanity appeals to
His great heart today.
The little children whom His
great heart loved , as ho said "of
aiioh is the kingdom of heaven , "
are the words of Fraternity.
The mission of these pooiotics is
to do good , following the example
of the Good Samaritan who bound
up his brother's wounds.
Every time the clock strikes a
good deed shines out from the
Alter of Fraternity and only those
who am in position to see can tell
how far the little candle throws its
beams.
None see the fitness of it al
quicker than the man and woman
who havojoined hands and hearts
for lifo and go forth to work out
their future and fit a place to be
their kingdom uud they to rule as
king and queen over all they bo
prospered in.
Some ono , perhaps , is saying as
ho ghnoes backward into the
glorious past that love of country
oxccodH our love for the homo
Hut what would bo our country
were it not for its happy homos'
The uncivilized red man fought for
h'lH happy hunting grounds they
wore his home.
George Washington , with his
suffering soldiers , thought am
fought for homo , and wo will al
ways do him reverence.
The boys of ' 01 responding to
the call of Abiaham Lincoln wen
forth in buhalf of liberty am
country , that the homos of this fai
land should forever after bu be
und harm , mid thin in truth i- tin *
and ol tlm freu Arid th home of
ho brave.
The boyh of ' 'J8 , with the name
warm and liberty loving hearts ,
went forth determined to lift the
land of tyranny from the nock of
he ojpreHHed.
Komomboring the Maine , they
lid not forgot Cuba's freedom ,
vl.ich in turn would advance the
ionics of that fair ink .
Long will we cherish the matn-
ory of the boys of ' 01 and ' 08 for
heir noble sacrifice of liio and
lealth , for today wo can say "God
bloHH our homoB. "
May it bo written in characters ,
which will not fade , upon all our
loans.
Have wo done and are wo doin ;
our duty in providing for the
uturo of these who have a right to

Eaoh one should lay up treasures
where moth and rust doth not

Think of life's uncertainties.
The wealthy ihan of today be-
oomej the beggar of tomorrow , ask
ug favors at the laboring man' *
leer , because of rapidly ohangit
ciruumstancos.
The heat and passion in which
HisinosH is conducted forbids proper -
or time to consider and weigh the
'uturo of events.
The brainy business men and the
wealthy men stand side by suio
with the prudent , honest toiler in
approving of insurance and homo
> rotootion.
Wo may meet with business re
verses. Sickness , death in its sudd
enness , old ago if wo live , are thp
every day scones of life.
Amid these scones wo aim to
jrovido for our homes by invest-
iionts one way and another.
Fraternal protection siys use a
small part of our income and pro
vide for the future and continue at
the Huno time your pursuits nt the
old Htaml.
A Fraternal certificate with the
Beneficiary named cannot be affect
ed by changing conditions , it is
the Hole property of the beneficiary.
Wo are all ambitious and striving
to so ptirth business that wo may
ay aside for a rainy day.
Do wo all succeed ?
Fraternal benefit societies or
similar institutions have existed
'or centuries , but in thin country
they como with the locomotive , the
telegraph and the telephone , which
annihilated dintince and brought
together the people of every sec
tion.
They came when the cannons
ceased their belohings ; when the
civil war was over.
The fact that Fraternal societies
are managed by its members being
a representative body. The officers
or managers are but servants if
they look upon their positions in
the true light.
Statistics of 27 of the loading
fraternals show a mombiTShip of
2,370,974 , representing benefits
amounting to over $4,000,000,000 ,
which does not include the millions
represented by the other smaller
societies.
In thin , the M. B. A. is given as
ono of the 27 , and represented over
$25,000,000 on December 31 , 1899.
How can wo make oomparisonH
that will help us to understand.
It seems incredible and yet
statistics before us show it.
And fraternities stand ready ,
with willing hands , to lend com
fort and aid to the homos of its
members with this vast amount.
There was actually paid out last
year benefits amounting to over
$40,000.000.
Compare the life of euoh societies
calling on its members tor money
when funds are needed and thereby
fiunibhing to their members pro
tection at cost , with old line com.
pnni'-H.
How seldom we find a fraternal
failure while statistics show 771
old line failures out of 822 com
panies , after taking largo premiums
from their policy holders.
Look at the comparative figures ,
December 31 , 1899 :
27 loading old line , show insur
ance in force , $5,807,000,000 ; 27
leading fraternals , show insurance
in foroo , $4,050,601,590 ; old line
written in 1809 , $1,807,504,498 ;
fratofnals written in 1890 , . $730-
071,050 ; fraternals , per cent of ex
pense , 11.3 ; old line , per cent 24 ;

expenses for 1890 , old line , * 58r
952,517 ; expenses for 1800 , fra-
tornalH , $3,313,087.
We are not much of R believer
in insurance from an investment
standpoint.
O Wo say this having carried in
