BAssnTT , - - Editor ThursdaYI March 12 , 1908. There recently died in an alcoholic - holic ward or a New York hospItal - pItal , a young man whose short but somewhat meteoric carec ( has inspired thousands of newspaper - paper publishers to print colums of matter concerning his achieve- ments. He was not a great painter nor a great sculptor , nor a distinguished physican , statesman - man , preacher or philanthropist , and he could lay no claim to scholarly attainments. Hacl he been of these , or a great astronomer - mer , architect or engineer , his obituary might have reached a half column in length in the metropolitan - ropolitan journals , with rather more than even chances that it would have occupied but a short paragraph ,9.f : . space and been tucked awaym some remote corner - ner under the head of "Sparks from the Wires , " but so great has been the wisdom displayed I in hIS choice of profession , coupled with the skill which he had acquired in it , that his passing - ing was mourned as little short of a public calamity. He was a. colored man ; a prize fighter and his name George Dixon. There are conservative observers - vers in 'Vashington who fear that the wide diversity of opinion - ion which bns manifested itself , both in and out of congress , may preclude the passage of any cur- rQncy legislation whatever at this session. If that should prove to be the case , it is , easy to see that indefinite postponment is likely to result. l.'he next ses. si n w1ll be short and the memory of the panic less vivid , and after the election the tariff will claim immediate and absorbing atten- tion. . 'Friends ' of the Hungariat Count who recenUy became th husband of Miss Gladys Vander. bilt aver that he did not seek hel for her money-because he ha plenty of money of his own. Tbii IS sq unusual as to be worthy 0 comment and should silence cen sure , yet some of us old duffer will surely breathe the breath 0 Hfe long enough to be able tl say III told you 5o"-when ! Glady admits she's sorry. An analysis of the expert rf : : port lately issued by the de pari . . went of commerce and labCJ shows that skilled labor in th Uuited States has deteriorated i recent years. It seems to b human nature for a man to gro' slouchy and arrogant in Ithe fae of plenty and only do his es under conditions in which at versity-either present or pen ( ing-ls the mainspring to actim The president of the Unive sity of Chicago is named as hole ing to the belief that people not get old so long as the mind8 continue to grow. Son : people who find pleasure in : dopting other peoples opiniol will begm to entertain suspicim that the minds of some of the political neighbors stopped gro'W lUg quite awhile since. The loss of liie in a scho house fire in Ohio , last week , perfectly appallin and brini great sorrow to the hearts many parents. Such calamiti have their lessons as well as s ( rows , and one of the strongest the present case , seems to be t justice of the law enforced , many states-the doors of ; publio buildipgs 13hall swing 01 ward. 'l'he Chicag-o board of trade also feeling the heavy hand censure and paid articles of f. . or are coming to the surf a showing what a bedeficient im tution it is. President Sal s ys , "speculation is the 01 safeguard , " but omits to say whom it IS the safety-valve. 'I point of view seems to make : difference. . , 't ' . . . . _ , . . " " "r- . 1 . .

At the republkan state convention - vention in Omaha today , Mayor W. A. George of Broken Bow was elected one of the delegates to the National republican convention - vention which mcets in Chicago in June to nominate a candidate for president. 'l'he convcntion favored Hec- retary'l'aft for the t > rcsidential nmnination and all delegates elected to the National convention - vention were a vowcdly upport- ers of th _ wa secrctary. Save the School Children. The following circular has been sent out by State Superintendent - tendent McBrien and Labor Com- mh sioner Ryder : Owing to the recent calamity at Collinwood , a suburb of Cleveland - land , 0. , we dcem it our duty to call the attention of boards of education , city superintendents , high school and village p1' nci- pals , teachers and other officials throughout the state who are responsible - sponsible for the lives of the school childreu entrustcd to thcir care to the law regulating fire escapes and egress from public buildings. To guard against loss of life in this state we urge upon aU officials whose duty it 1S to enforce - force the aforesaId acts to see that the provision ! > of these laws are strictly observed. We regret - gret to say that there are at least 300 public school buildings in villages , towns and cities in Nebraska wherc existing arrangements - rangements fail to meet the requirements - quirements of the law. In many places the situation is criminal. It is the small details that are lee often overlooked or entirely neglected , which in the event of I great emergencies would be the line between sarty and danger. All doors should swing outward. Windows should never be allow- cd to become bound or neglected to tha.t extent lhat they will network work with a touch of the finger. Escapes of non-cumbustable ma- I terial should be erected where needed. The need should be regarded - . garded as immediate rather than r in the distant future. We offer the suggestion that in addition to exits and fire es- f cape provided for by law there - should be on every floor of a s school building two or more f stories in height a supply of ropes o in every room , kn'tted and se- s curely fastened to the walls ready for immediate use. The boys should be required to practice - - ; - tice descending on these ropes occasionally and the girls should Ir be required to watch the b ys at e practice. n There should bl ! fre.quent nr Ie drills in every school , but it W should be rcmembered that in :1 : fire drill it is as important to sce I in how orderly a waUl1cr the pu. 1- pHs cau leave the building , a ! - . well as how 9 ickly it can b ( 1. donc. An Exciting Runaway. The Callaway Queen of laR week told of an exciting runa way , in which two well-knowl and prominent Custer count' . citizens were mixed-up , thus : N. B. Troyer and Wm. Tvsot were hobbling around the - for4 part of the week , and are hardl' y- able to touch a spot upon thef persous that was not sorc. The' were mixed up in an excitinj 101 .runaway on Sunday , which wa is the cause of the whole thing gs ' .rhey , were driving a spirite of team in the locality of the WlI .es Engels farm , when a dog chaser > rthe rig , frightening the horsef in which became unmanagabh he They were leading a third hors4 in and it Was impossible to handJ all the thre , and as a result bet gentlemen were thrown from U buggy receIving several sevel bruises : The borses ran to tl is Engels plac ( : , where they ref of into a. . . fence and were caugh lV- The scat and top of the bugS c , broken off and were , a couple I Ill- spokes broken out , but the hors er escaped without injury.

Willard , Former Clerk in the County Treasurers Office Arrested on Cbarge of "Lifting" $300. - - - Ex-sheriff Uichardson went out to ( 'olfax , Wash. , last wcek and brought 'Jack William E. Willard thiR morning , who was wanted for appropriating to his own use abmt : $300 from the treasurers office which he had takcn when acting as clerk some two years ago , he fundR taken by Willard consisted - sisted of $146 in cash and $160 in Lillian irrigation ditch coupons. Those funds had been left in a drawer in the safe and were designat- Qd as a part of the "unfinished business - ness fund. " They belonged to a private mdividllal and were left in the hands of W. A. GeorgI ! while he acted as county treasurer and were turned over to John Cavcnee when the latter assumed the duties of the office. Willald admits to Mr. Cavenee that he got the money , saY9 he lost it in playing poker , and that he will make it good. Ex- Sheriff C. U. Uichardson took I the matter up last summer and wrote to the sheriff at Berkley Springs. W. Va. , where Willard's mother lives. He learned from him that he ( Willard ) got his mail at Rosalia. Wash. Mr. Hichardson then sent iIIard's photograph - graph to the sheriff of Whitman county , Wash. , with the iDstruction to nrrest him. He received a messege from the sheriff of Whitman county , last Thursday - day , that he had arrested the man. Mr. Richardson in whose name the warrant was drawn and the requisition made , was requested by County Attorney - torney Gutterson to make the trip and get the prisoner. He returned with his man this moning , having found him in the hands of the sheriff of Whitman county. Speaker Cannon. The people of this county have again had positive proof that there is one man in public life who never flinches , who never trims , who never squirm9. 'fhere never was a more courageous , a more honest and ontspoken man in American political life than "Uncle Joe" Cannon , the populat speaker of the house of Hepre. , sentatives. He believes in his \uuntry and is not afraid to sa } so. He believes that certain legislaHon would be against Ut ( best inh'rests of the laboring mat and is not afraid to say so. H ( believes in a protective tariff ant t is not afraid to say so. He i - . opposed to a tariff cOl1uuississiOl and is not afraid to say so. II ( does uot think tariff revision ii necessary at present and is 110 1 afraic1 to say so. He cloes no believe in wasting the peoplc , money or the congressmen's timc He is not afraic ! of losini : ' delc gates and he would not gain on at the e pen5 e of compromisini his honest beliefs. License tbe Juue at RaveDna. License or no 'license will b the issue in the coming sprin election at Ravenna , and tb liveliest fight that town has ha in many a year is probable. Tb town board voted to submit n question , wet or dry , in responc to a petition. A mass meetin was called and very largely a tended protesting against U action of the board but nothin further was done. [ .
