By F * . M. KIMMELL. OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER. Largest Circulation in Red Willow Co. Subscription , $1 a Year in Advance Tim congressional apportionment bill has been defeated in the senate three Republican senators voting against the measure. GOVERNOR DiKTKicii's suggestions about state ownership of public utilities , or more specifically , of light and heating plants for stale institutions , do not ap pear to be well received in certain local ities , notably in Lincoln ; but the gov ernor is right. Again , hoc der Dietrich ! LAST week , Dayton celebrated the York Republican's silver anniversary , and promises to be at the old stand when its golden anniversary rolls around. There is a growing conviction in some quarters that Dayton will be on earth and editing the York Republican when Gabriel blows his trumpet. He ought to be. EVIDENCE is cumulative that Pennsyl vania politics needs a thorough house- cleaning. It only took a district judge of that state twenty-four hours , recently , to decide a state constitution question. The judge's celerity will be better under stood when it isstated that the presiding judge was slated for promotion to a new federal judgeship ! AFTER June 30 it will not be necessary to put stamps on telegrams , checks , moue3' orders , express receipts , leases , piomissory notes , mortgages , insurance polices and real estate convej-ances where the consideration is under $2,500. The tax on legacies has been repealed so far as gifts to charitable , literary , relig ious or educalional institutions are con cerned. SECRETARY ROOT has issued an order that in mustering out the volunteers the examining surgeon shall make particular note and a record of the physical condi tion of each soldier. This will serve a double purpose , both of which are to be commended. It will defeat fraudulent pension claims in the future and make a record back to which the government can go in the case of those whose physi cal condition entitles them to a pension. With such a record it will not be difficult for those who deserve it to make good their claim for pension , but the claims manufactured by pension clerks will run against a stumbling block at their in ception. Bee. Two Republican Senators. Thursday , at 10:30 o'clock 'on the morning of the last day of the legislative session , two Republican U. S. senators were elected by the Nebraska legislature , David E. Thompson , withdrawing from the race , in which he was the leading candidate , and making Governor C. H. Dietrich his legatee for the short term. J. H. Millard of Omaha was chosen for the long term , an act in which Ed ward Rosewater was doubtless deeply interested. An impossible'situation is thus happily relieved and the G. O. P also. ONCE more , "Hoc der Dietrich ! " ' WE all love Thompson and Rosewaler more than we did. * IF Governor Charlie Dietrich were to fall overboard in mid-ocean there is a well-founded suspicion that he wouldn't "turn a hair. " FREEDOM and free institutions are the proper heritage of freemen only. Ig norant and malvelent tools of selfishness and greed make sad work with them. C. E. ELDRED , the well known and popular young attorneyis the Republican candidate for mayor of McCook. Here's hoping that he'll win and of course he will. Beaver City Tribune. GOVERNOR DIETRICH andj. H. Mil liard may not make famous statesmen , but they will be in hearty accord with Republican policy , will stand up for Ne braska every time and favor good gov ernment and sound legislation alwa3's. THERE is a somewhat unique and picturesque situation in Republican City apropos of the coming town election. It is a question of Maley or anti-Maley. A. A. Maley was for a lime a resident of our city. He had the peculiarities and characlerislics necessary to provide Ihe condition existing in Republican City. Deepest of the Season. As we go to press , this afternoon , Western Nebraska iscovered a foot deep with the heaviest snowfall of the season. The snow commenced falling , Thursday evening , and still continuesIhis ( Friday ) afternoon. So far there has been little or no wind and traffic has not been ser iously interrupted , although the trains are all late and the snoxv plows are all out in service. The indidations are , as we go to press , that the snow will reach a depth unprec edented in years. It's a 'steen million dollar snow for Western Nebraska. CITY CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Gerald Wilcox is to enter the list ol sugar beet growers , and we venture the prediction , that , with his rich river bottom land and pains-taking energy'he will take the prize { or tonnage and qual ity of beets. C. A. Littel has rented the Lawson. place and since coming here has learnet of the profits made on the sugar beet crop , last year , and although it is a new industry to him , he will plant quite a field of them this year. With the moisture now in the ground , the divide farmers might be justified in planting a few acres of lieets. If you have a clean piece of stubble land , plow three to five acres of it now for beets ; plow deep , turn the snow under , the soil will then hold the moisture. F. S. Wilcox will also be one of the sugar beet farmers , this year , and when such men as he , together with Gerald Wilcox , W. E Corwin , W. E. Bower , H. Stone , S. G. Goheen , W. N. Rogers , Win. Byfield and others put their should ers to the \vheel , it goes without saying that success is assured , and before many years we may expect to see the smoke rolling from the tall smoke stacks of a sugar factory somewhere in the Republi can valley ; not only making a market for this valuable crop , but giving em ployment to an army of factory people and incidentally doubling the value for beet land. Try it , put in a few acres. Why not save 3 cents ? We sell package seed for 2 cents at the Bee Hive. ADDITIONAL RAILROAD NEWS. Mrs. I. N. Meyers and sister of Oxford were guests of E. L. Meyers , fore part ol the week , returning home on 2 , yester day morning. Word was received her , yesterday , that Engineer F. G. Westland , who some time since moved to Wyuiore , had lost a leg in an accident. Particulars are lack ing. Conductor J. F. Custer is relieving Conductor William Croppon the Oxford- St.Francis line for a few days. Mr. Cropp and J. W. Trammell went down to Lincoln , Wednesday , where the form er will take the shrine degree in Sesos- tris of that city. The Bee Hive is still selling : pack age seed for 2 cents. Will Be Quite Heavy. Undoubtedly , the losses of stock dur ing the storm which prevailed over Western Nebraska , this week , have been and will be quite heavy. Word has al ready been received from Dundy county to that effect , and trainmen report seeing many dead animals along the line of the Burlington , where they have drifted against the wire fence enclosing the right-of-way and died. The probabili ties are that the loss throughout this section of the state will be the severest in years. Of course the heaviest appar ent losses will be seen along the railroad fence , and the proportionate loss will be much less elsewhere. New seed in packages , 2 cents at the Bee Hive. The Way to Force Plants to Branch. There is only one way in which a plant can be forced to branch , and that is by cutting off the stalk. The plant thus in terfered with will make an effort to grow , and either a new shoot will be sent up to take the place of the lost top , or several shoots will be sent out along the stalk. If but one starts cut it back. Keep up this cutting-back process until you have obliged as many branches as you think are needed. Persistency and patience will oblige the plant to do as you would like to have it do. April Ladies' Home Journal. The Millinery Openings. The snow storm interfered with the attendance on millinery openings , yes terday and last night , but so far as the lisplays in the several bazars are con- : erned they perhaps have never been excelled in the history of the city. The exhibits were exquisite creations of shape , olor and taste. The Auditorium Fund. Previously reported $3ii75-oo . of P. lodge 50.00 J.
