Mayor GeOfiO'S !

lIe Suryeys the Situation
and : Makes Several
Suggpstions.
On assuming the office of mayor
of Broken Bow , May 1st. W. A.
lieorge deli vere < l the following
address outlining his policy ;
.In entering upon the official
duties imposed upon me as Mayor
of the city of Broken Bow I
think it not out of place to set
forth in brief terms some of the
I things which I think should
characterize the incoming ad-
ministration.
I feel a deep'sense of gratitude
to my fellow citizens for the con.
fidence manifested in me by my
election and I dcstre only in the
future profit by the experience
I of the past and thus prove myselt
I worthy of the high honor
bestowed upon me. In admin-
istering' the atTairs of the people
in a city such as ours those
chosen for that purpose are but
instruments to ascertain anG then
carry out the will of the people.
This shoul ( ) he done with dilli-
gence and fidelity. The faithful

Good Varnishes
\ (
, .
! -Varnishes that do
j good work always are
not easy to make. It's
not every manufacturer
who has the facilities
. and the capital neces-
.
sary to the making of
.1 good varnishes.
!
THE SHERWIN-WILLIAMS VARNISHES
. are right always. They bring out in full the natural beauty
, .f of the wood. They wear and keep their lustre for the longest
. .
time. You cannot buy better varnishes.
See us for prices and

servant merits and receives the
approval of the so\'erign people
and enjo ' the satisfaction of
mind Wll1Ch comes from the
knowledge of a duty wel . ) performed -
formed in the discharge .of their
duties.
I am not , in my judgmen t ,
overstatit1g the cage , when I sa. } '
that at no time in the historr of
the city has there been a more
urgent need of wise and intelligent -
gent action on the part of the
Mayor and Council , nor amon'
opportune time for the enactmJIt
of ordinances. . ' !
prudent ' $ , .
We will doubtless be c < 1t d I
upon to solve man ) difficult and :
perplexing questions of grave' '
interest to the city and while we
are not likely to all think a1il < e
on nIl subjects that come up for
our consideration , there should ,
be as complete harmony as
possible amo1\g us , for it is only
oy mature deliberation and wise
consideration that the best things
can be done for the welfare of
our communi ty.
'fhat the health of our people
ma } ' be protected as much as
possible and that onr city at all
times may present a neat orderly
appearance it should be . the duty
of every citizen to. lteep his
premises free from accumulations
of filth and to carefull } ' remove
as fast , lS possible all manure
and rubbish of every kind , and
persons who are not inclined t. )
com pI ) ' with the city ordinances
relative to such matters should
be made to understand that a
rigid enforcement of the same
ma ) ' be expected.
Tha the water works should
be made to earn as much revenue
as possible and that as much of
the propert ) ' of the city as
possible be provided with protection -
tection , it is desirable that the :
water mains be extended as
speedil ) ' : is possible to those
districts not so provided.
Il\Il'HOVItJIIENTS.
I think the Council should take
early steps to framc and pass an
ordinancc having for its object
the replacing of board Wfllks in
the bus ness portiotl of the. .city
with wal1 < s of stone or cement.
' 1'hc heavy rains of the past
few seasons , I think. has made it
apparent to everyone that the
water ways under Fourth and
Fifth Avenues arc insufficient to
carry the water and that something -
thing- must be done to provide a
better way to conduct the water
under the streets.
That the streets and crossings
may be placed in better condition
I recommend that a Street Commissioner -
missioner Ibe appointed , whose
chief : luty sha11 he to look after
the improvement and superintend
the work necessary to be done on
the streets and crossings and
that a Marshal he appointed
whose duty it shalt he to patrol
the streets at night when thcre
is more danger from disorderly
and ill dispos d persons and the
danger from lire is the greatest.
The public parl < s are the pride
of every citizens of Broken Bow
and ever ) ' etTort should be made
to prescrve and beautIfy them.
It has long becn thl : : desire of
many of our citizens to install
an electric lightiug plant and it
should be our duty to proceed
without delay to investigate the
same and publish our findings to
the end that it the citizens desire
an election called at an early
date to vote bonds for that pur-
pose. 1.1'hat there may be a
strict account of all funds belonging -
ing to the city , the Street Com.
missioner or Marshal should be
reuired ) to make quartely or
semi-annual reports showing all
money received by hun on
account of poll tax paid in cash
and all other .items paid to him ,
and that the same be published
at the time of the publication of
the report of the city treasurer.
'fhat the good name of our fair
city may not onl. , . be maintained
but improved , I pledge mvself to
strict enforcement of th orchn-
ances relative to things of immoral -
moral character an\1 call upon
every good citizens to stand by
alt my efforts in this direction ,
that we ma ) ' drive out and keep
away cvcrything and every
person whose inlluence is de-
grading.
Card of Thanlu.
We want to thank the many
friends and especialty the Woodmen -
men , for their kindness and sympathy -
pathy in the sad hour and death
of our dear son.

Newsy Notes by a Special
Cqrres ) Qndent of the
Hepublican.
\Vashingtoll , April 30.
Senator Millard has publicly
advised his colleagues that he is
to be a candidate for reelection ,
and he will return to Nebraska
at the expiration of the present
s ssion carrying the good wishes
of members of the upper house.
Senator Millard is serving his
first term , which expires in 190i.
I He is seventy ) "ears old. _
! t t
Senator BU.rkett acted as escort
this week lor acting President
Fairfield and Professors Cook and
Shadd of Howard University ,
when they visited the White
House to invite President Roosevelt -
velt to deliver an oration at the
commencement exercise of" the
iustitution June 1. The Presi.
( lent declined the invitation , to
make an address , but promised
to he present at the exercises for
a short time.

Apropos of San Francisco , fhe
P.ostofi ce Department all this
week has'bcen receiving a collection -
tion of mail matter from the
stricken town that is curious in
the 'extreme. Because of the
widespread devastation , postage
stamp ! : ' . could not be obtained and
tationery practically was an un-
I known quantity , San Franciscans
, thereore , have been writing to
anxious relatives and friends on
anything they could make marks
upon , and mailing these curious
missives without postage. The
Postoffice Department has been
dehvering all such messages , and
reassuring notes written on collars -
lars , cutTs , shoe box covers and
shingles have bcen delivered. In
one instance , a survivor scribbleU
a note on his handkerchief and
dropped it into the mails. It
was delivered to his mother in
Virginia.

If ) 'OU can contribute to the
Department of Agriculture a rat ,
mouse , dog or rabbit fatally ill
of a contagious disease } 'ou may
confer on the country a benefit
worth millions of dollars. 'fhe
Department is seeking for some
means of ridding certain parts
of the coun try of "varmints"
that are doing' enormous damage
but that defy ordinary means of
extermina.tion. In one county ,
I in the state of Washington , lield
mice practica11y have ruined all
crops , whilc in' Wyoming , wolves
are raiding the cattlemcn's herds
with ever increasing boldness
and traps are of no avail against
them. Throughout the entire
country Held mice , field rats ,
grouud squirrels , gophers and
, such small pe3ts arc costing the
country millions of dollars an-
I nually. Somc form of epi emic
seems the only way to get rid of
them.
t t !
It has been some years since
'the locust wrough t ruin to the
harvests of Nebraska and despair -
spair to the hearts of the Nebraska -
ka farmer , but there is danger
ahead. according to the Department -
ment of Agriculture. Experts
believe that the spring of 1CJO&
will see a great army of the pests
sweeping the fields of the country -
try , and although these experts
believe the swarms will not extend -
tend beyond Illinois no man yet
has been able positively to for-
cast the limits of their flight.
I 1'he brood has been breeding in
J spots from Cape Cod to Northern
Georgia and as far west as Ill.
and although the Departmcnt
I experts have traced the origin of
the brood back as tar as 1633 and
I have reduced their periodic
'I ' flights almost to an exact know.
ledge , they cannot tell in which
I direction it will take its flight.
'l'he brood in question is the
seventeen-year variety , amI the )
may be looked for the last weeJj
in Mayor the beginning of June ,
It migbt be as well for the far.
. I mers of Nebrask to be prepare < ;
' for a visitation , although the in.
I' St'cts may not head in that direc.
tion.
