Much wor is being done on
the streets by the city where the
authorities deem it most needed
, and at the rate it is being ac-
compished ) the matter of laying ,
" crossings to the park should be
reached before a great lapse of' '
time. One at least should be
" laid at an arly day. When the
' farmer's wife or daughter comes
in to do the trading she must tie
the team to the park fence and
" then if the street is muddy she
must wade across it to the side-
\
walk. We have heard more than
a dozen farmers say they would
--.L. , . T be glad to contribute one or two
dollars each t.owarq building
, crossings to the park.

Another Custer county village
announces that it will be patriotic -
tic and celebrate July 4th in a.
ga-lorious manner. That's An ; ,
selmo , which , with Callaway ,
Comstock and Mcrna malcs four
places for our citizens tb go and I
bear the eagle scream on tbat
day. 'rbe citizens of each of
these towns are hustlers and will
spare neither time , labor nor expense - I
pense to celebrate tbe day in a
fitting manner and trt'at all visitors -
ors bospitably.
F. M. Bethel , accompanied bV
.Mrs. Bethel and three children ,
residing 18 miJes north , were
Broken Bow . .y.is1tors yesterday.
To a Rn u.nLIcAN representative
he stat ( d that his c rn was com-
.ing along nicely and. that he
W0111d begin cultivating it today
unless prevented by rain. His
wheat looked rather sickly before -
fore the recent raing , but since
then it is braced up and looks as
though it was determined to
make some.thing of itself.
W. W. Minniear , who came to
the eastern part of tl e state from
IndiaQa nine years ago and
moved to a farm 4 miles southwest -
west of Broken Bow last August ,
was iu the city yestcrday and informed -
formed the H.npUUI.ICAN that he
was not well pleased with the
manner in which wbeat and corn
were coming along. He put in
his corn just prior to the rains
and it is up , but don't look good
to him , and he attributes the
cause to the cool weather.
Do not forget that Friday ,
June 4th is Flag Day in every
state in thc United States and
be prepared to decorate your I
places f business and residences

extent of your patriotism. 'rhere
is not in the world a more handsome -
some blending of colors than is
found in the dcar old stars and
stripes which waves "o'er the
land of the free and the home of
the brave. " Hurrah for "Old
Glory" everywhere or anywhere
wherever and whenever you see
it. _
Qonsiderable space is consumed
in tbiR lEPUDI.ICAN with a synopsis -
sis of thE : primary law passed by
the recent session of the legislature -
ture , but it is a mattcr upon
which every legal voter should
post himself thoroughly as it is
to be the means of placing candidates -
dates for office in nomination
this , year-doing away entirely
with precmct caucuses and county
conventions. The important
points of the law are published
in this synopsis and it might be
a good idea for each subscriber
to preserve this copy for future
referenc.e-instead of loaning it I
to his ne ghbor who is "already !
takin more papers than he can
r acl. "
Masons commenced laying
brick on'the addition to George
, Apple's store building Monday
morning and at the rate they are
moving will not be long in finish-
ing. The addition is to be the
same zize as the store building ,
25x55 , which means , when completed -
pleted , a store room 25x110 f et ,
two full stories , extending from
the street to the alley. Mr. Apple -
ple has been needing more room
for a long time , as tbe large
stock carried was simply piled
up , there being no space for any
kind of display , at least two-
thirds of the harness stock being
kept up stairs. Even with th
addition the room will soon be
too small as lds patronage largely -
ly increases each succeeding year.

comijined weight of which was
3190 pounds and received $5.60
per 100 Ibs. for thcm , 30 cents
more than was paid for live pork

not at all alarmed about the crop

shape before and it came up
sml ngU l plentiful at the

On the first page of this edi. . I
tion of the HUI'UBJ.ICAN is a
"picter" of its first home and
four attaches who arc , beginning
at the left : A. C. Austerson ,
now an editor and publisher in
Oregon. Next D. M. Amsberry ,
then superintendent of schools
as well as publisher , now receiver
in the United States land office.
'l'hen Charley West , the "devil"
hut now editor and publisher of
the Stocl man , also postmaster

means leastly , his royal nibs , a
rising young < lltorney who was
performing the arduous duties of
editor , "Gus" Humphrey , now

In compliance with a call by
the examiner for all banks to
make and publish a report of
their condition , the Berwyn State
bank report is printed in this
issuc of the Rnl > Ul'I.ICAN. The
bank was open d last' January
and the report was pub1ished in
March. That the institution
has gained rapidly and 1S now in
a flourishing condition can be
hetter understood by comparing
the last report with the one published -
lished this week-or three months
later. The report tn March
showed as loans and disc unts
$3,5W.73 ; now they are * 8,532.21.
Then the individual deposits
were $9,483.42 ; now 517,225.07 ,
being nearly doubled during the
past three months. W. L. Mc-
Candless , the cashier , is proving
himself efficient and capable and
it is evident the bank officials
made a wise choice in selecting
him for the position.
