CUAS. K. BASSH'r'l' , - - Editor
'l'hursday , Jan. 23 , 1908 ,
. The first three weeks of the
new year shows a fine feeling of
confidence. The words "flurry"
and "stringency" have passed out
and merchants find their trade
restored , almost , to normal. 'l'here
is not a hint of gloom in the at-
mosphere. 'l'he cast , which was
the least cheerful section of the
country two months ago , is now
reflecting the optimism of the
west. New Yorl < , which is the
keystone to the financial arch , is
stronger in fact and in confidence
than It has been for somc time.
Better than this is the spirited I
attitude of the whole people.
'l'here has been small pari.Jg in
pcrsQnal outlay since the realization -
tion seems to be general that the
country is sounder than ever-
the fulure brighter. It is reasonable -
able to expect 1908 to surpass the
extraordinary rccord of last year.
.
- - - - - - - -
Frank A. Harrhwn , who usually -
ly has been able to so cOlrectly
diagnose the political situation in
advance in Nebraska so to havc
things his own way , will find
that the rank and file of the republican -
publican party will not be with
him in his support of the candidacy -
dacy of Lali'ollette for president.
The popularity of President
Roosevelt with the voters is so
great that his indorsements of
the candidacy of Secretary 'l'aft
assures him practically the unanimous -
imous support of the republican
voters of the state and Mr. Harrison -
son had just as well , first as last ,
acknowledge his mistake and
proceed at once to get in the
' ! 'aft band wagon.
'l'he president's suggestion-
already made an otder-of : having
one member of the national guard
from each state take a competitive -
tive examination for second lieu.
tenant will do much to encourage
the men of the service and raise
the standard. It is rewards like
these that adds interest to the
militia and draw recruits. Jus1
now there is nothing neede
worse than recruits in the army
and it is certainly puzzling t1u
war department how to get them
The question of more pay , ade ,
quate rewards and less real wed
seems to be the only solu tion.
If lumber gets much scarce :
and prices continue to go up
farmers can make more mO'nc' .
raising trees than grain.
- - - - - - - -
'l'be efforts to inject some gin
ger into the Fairbanks Presi
dential boom would be laughabl
-if it were less sad.
With all the "financial cxperts
quarreling over a currency bl1 ]
it may yet be necessary to g
back to the white pine whittle
at the village store to have th
matter settl d-proJerly.
It's sure enough-Taft.
Delegate to National Convention.
This congressional district i
rightly entitled to two dclegate
to tbe National Republican COl
vention to nom111ate William 1 :
Taft for president , and Broke
Bow bas a citizen who wouJ
make an ideal member of th
delegation in the person c
'Walter A. George. mayor of 011
city and president of tbe Securit
State bank.
Mayor George is certainl
well qualified and would be
valuable member to the deleg. .

worthy of the honor his friends

the western part of the statc as
well as a reward due lr. Wood
for his faithfulness in j'ears past ,
the HUI'UIII.1CAN would he pCscri ]
to see him clectcd president of
the association.
The Alliancc 'rimes in spcak-
ing' of Mr. Wood's candidacy says :
Mr. Wood has attcnded every
mceting for ycars , is now vicc
president of the association , and
h as served as one of t hc secretaries -
taries , Such being the case ,
Wcstern Nehraska newspaper men
ollght to start a movement now
that wouJd mal < c Brother Wood
president of the association for
the ensuing j'ear. 'rhe "Pan-
handle" newspaper feHows travel
farthcr than any to these sessions ;
bave attended many j'ear , and it
wuuld be nothing UJore than a
propcr honor if the presidency
were brought out this way oncc.
Prog're5sivc , capable , alert and
with high sense of integrity , Asa
Wood has the record in having
been established twenty years in
Westcrn Nebraska-all the time
at Gering and off the railroad.
Say , fellows , Jet's give him a
boost for the president of the
associ a tlon for 11)08.

The Boyerton Holocaust.
' [ 'he recent terrible holocaust
in a small theatre at Boyerton ,
Pa. , was one'of the worst catastrophes -
trophes of the many recent dis-
asters. Its horrors arc accentuated -
ted because of the small popula-
t ion of the place in which it
occurrcd. 'rhe number of deaths
is placcd at 165 and the total
population of BOj'crton is but
little over 2000. Practically every
surviving man of thl town lost
cither a member of his own
family or a near relative.
'l'he occasIOn was an amateur
show. The stage was crowded
with youngpeopJe whose curiosity -
osity was rcsponsible for the fire
and its terrible results. There
was one small stairway for the
front entrance and a narrow exit
in the rear. 'l'hese soon became
so clogged with persons endeavoring -
ingto escape that those behind
were caught as in a trap and
burned , except a very few.
'
, 'l'he greatest obj ct lesson' is
the lack of proper provisions for
aring for the safety of persons
. 111 places of amusement. 'l'he
: disregard for human life , in some
: . places , is worse than criminal.
'l'here have been o many catas-
trophies in which the Joss of life
has been appaJ1ing-that the
pu blic is less shocked than it ]
, former years. The list of fatalitie
. causes but a passing shudder and
docs not excite the people to t1
proper conception of its horron
or a determination. to move the
possibilities of future clisasten
of that nature.
The charred remains of tIu :
, victims of the 13oyerton and ethel
tragedies and the battered anc
trampled corpses of those whos
bodies escaped the flames , cr' . '
out for more precautions fo.
e humanity in thc future.

Declared Members of the Woodmen of

the Yesterday' s Rally.

OVER A THOUSAND PRESENT.

Business Houses Decorated , Bands
Played , Streets Thronged and
Everybody Happy.
About two months ago Mr. E.
C. Cross , district deputy of the
Modern Woodmen of America
commenced soliciting members
in this county for the order and
lhe result of his labors indicate
that he is away up head and
several laps to spare in that line.
Mr. Cross is certainly untiring"
in his efforts and a great organizer -
zer , regardless of the fact that
he represents one of the best fraternal -
ternal organizations in America.
'l'his fact , however , can be more
readily understood , when one
stops to think and rcalize that
within two months over four
hundred members in Custer county -
ty have been added to the enrollment -
ment of the order.
Early yesterday morning members -
bers of the order , and prospective
Iltem bers , commenced arri ving in
the city from every direction in
private conveyances and they
continued to come untill o'clock.
At 12 o'clock a special train 01
six coaches came in from the
east , starting from Ha vetma.
'rhis train brought mem ben and
candidates-ISO of the lattcr being -
ing from Ansley.
At 2 o'clock a parade of members -
bers and candidates to the number -
ber of over six hundred , with
music by the Ansley and Broket ]
I Bow bands was a great feature
of the raJ1y.
During the afternoon ad resse
were delivered in the Opera house
and greatly enjoyed by , a large
number.
Last night the Opera hous (
was fiJ1ed by Woodmen , and sub
jects fori sympathy , and the worl
of conferring the degree3 on 32'
candidates was not finished unti
nearly 5 o'clock this morning.
