Railroad Racket.
Residents of the _ Westerville
district are becoming greatly in-
tere8ted in the building of the
line from Brokcn Bow to Lonp
City and , although there was a
large atlendance at the meeting
held at Westerville two weeks
ago , quite a number wcre not
present who now wish they had
been in order to hear the proposi-
tion. That these may havc an
opportunity to become acquainted
with the project , and also for the
purpose of taking subscriptions ,
another meeting will be held at
Westerville on Saturday of this
week , May 4th , at 1 o'clock.
Although but a few weeks have
elapsed since the Broken Bow
and Weatern railway project was
made known residents along the
proposed line have rallied to its
support and are willing-with
but few acceptions-to go their
limit to assist in its construction ,
so that it is an almost settled
fact the road will be built and in
operation before January 1st of
next year.
,
The meetiug at the Knight
school house , in M - vrlle precinct ;
last Friday aftern-oon , was at-
t nded by more than fifty farmers
residing in that vicini tv and
great interest in the road was
manifest to the extent that nearly

The Bridge Not Built as Bid For.
\
Editor HUI'UBLICAN.
Since there has been so much
question regarding the new
It'ourth avenue bridge and being
in position to know wkat the requirements -
quirements were , having submitted -
mitted a bid for same , perhaps
an explanation would not be out
of place at this time , on behalf
of the citizens of Broken Bow ,
ancI the Foundry and Structure
works which I represent. Our
plan called for a 40 foot road way
and a 6 foot walk , 46 feet in a11 ,
said measurments being taken
directly at right angles to the
street line , wbereas the bridge
now in place measures 46 feet in
direction of creek , which is 35
degrees angle from street line ,
and when measured at right
angles to street line gives only
26 feet inclusive of sidewalk. In
other words the roadway is 21
feet wide , whq it should be 40 ,
and total wid th of bridge 26 feet
instead of 46.
Our bid for the two structurel
, . . .
. I . < to _ .
- . . . . . - - . _ I ! J , ! . . - ,
In place , including all piling ,
planking and wings and 4 foot
handrails , was $2360 , whereas the
contract was awarded the Stan-
danl people for $2l7f ) . 'l'he
uight the job was let and con.
tract C'lrawn up , all objection was
raised to thc style of handrail we
used , whereupon the council was
111formed that we would give
them any style of handrail they
wished and would put in separate -
ate foot and t am bridges , if they
'so desired. Our people can 1
readity realize what this one
item should have meant , as the
sidewalk would then have been
in direct line with the remainder
of walk-where it rightly be-
longs-and still the bridge proper -
per should have been in the
centre of the street.
This is a matter which has
been discussed much Slnce tb'e
completion of bridge ! ! and one
which is of interest to the taxpayers -
payers and the people in general ,
and for this reason it has been
seemed essential that the fmts : be
made known. Sit1cI rely ,

Ansley Contributes More Booze.
On Monday a raid was made
on the express office at Ansley
and fourteen gallows of booze
sent C. O. D. to citizens of that
vicinity by Harvest King Distilling -
tilling Co. , of Kansas City , w s
capturcd and forwarded to Sheriff
Richardson. If this thing con.
tinues the sheriff could easily
open a wbolesale sbop in the
S0011 hereaftcr , but as the brand
usually captured is of the squirrel
variety , which makes a man
want to climb a tree after , imbibing -
bibing three or four fingers , it
isn't likely he could dispose of
any to those of our citizens who
are just a little particular s to
the quality , in8tead of the
quantity , of frumenti that passes
down their guzzle. ,
