K v - t TWENTIETH YEAR Wisely Decided to Fund At tho meeting Tuesday evening of representatives of tho contributing or ders socioties and individuals to tho auditorium fund it was wisely deter mined to fund all tho moneys so far raised for the auditorium As soon as possible the moneys will be paid in to Supt A Campbell who was chosen as trustee of tho fund and tho money will for the present be placed at interest in some safe securities It is proposed to associate with Supt Campbell an ad visory board to be selected one member from each of tho different societies and orders which have contributed to tho fund Tho members of this board will bo chosen by the several organizations between now and the 19th of this month when another meeting will bo held to close up this matter In the interest of harmony and to maintain confidence it is of the first moment that all societies having funds raised for tho auditorium project should promptly pay the same to Supt Camp bell It is not wise or enough to say that the moneys will bo paid in whon the auditorium is built or under way The only way that tho money can bo depended upon and that confidence may be felt is in placing tho money in a fund with proper safeguards As long as the I moneys are Kept in mo nanus oi indi viduals or organizations there is the pos sibility of conflicting actions being taken and there is tho constant menace of lack of confidence thus created Get into an interest bearing fund tho few hundreds already raised in cash add to this cash as opportunity affords add confidence and cut out all discord and one of theso favorable years we will raiso by subscrip tion enough to build an adequate audi torium Are Improving- the Park Some of the womens clubs of the city have temporarily taken charge of the park which is now being given needed attention by a competent man It is expected that the city authorities will assist in maintaining this public im provement thus relieving of the burden the few individuals who have for years maintained this park out of their private purses The public is the beneficiary of the advantages of the park and it is but risrht and proper that the people of the city should pay for the expense of main taining and improving the same Two Splendid Soaking Rains Southwestern Nebraska in common with tho rest of the state and in fact much of the western country was visited by two splendid soaking rains Sunday and Monday the precipitation being al most two inches according to tho Burl ington guage at this place The rains came at an opportune time as in some localities crops of small grain especially were needing moisture These million dollar rains have greatly encouraged tho husbandmen and the crops aro respond ing admirably to the refreshing moisture and its stimulating influences Settlers and Ranchmen May Clash There aro some indications that there may yet be a clash between the settlers and ranchmen in tho neighborhood of Atwood Kansas A telegram from that point recently announced that both parties have organized laid in ammuni tion and aro ready for business The settlers recenth drove off the fencing gang of the big Dewey ranch and cut the fence already built since which event the ranchmen have armed their em ployes and the next clash is likely to be onein which bloodshed will be a feature An Attempted Suicide An attempted suicide is one of the di versions of the week The Tribune re frains from mentioning names at this time but if some of tho rumors in con nection with this affair are founded in fact it will be well for the city author ities to take the mattsr in hand and pro secute a strict investigation The would be suicide if a real attempt was made is entirely recovered from the effort Nelms Quick Nuptials
