thrice-a-week news paper in Red Cloud with A C Ilosmer as editor This makes the fourth news paper printed in that burg and every long-felt-want ought to be filled for the present The rumors that percolate out to this section are not highly reassuring about the now Omaha police board deal Tis said the losing faction had ten thousand plunks in hand smd sis many more in sight without avail and the wonder is how the winners succeeded so hsind somely in coppering the simple play of the defeated but not yet vanquished There is real red blood on the face of the pale moon and many a tomahawk and bowie knife hsis come into action All doubtless in the interest of civic and political purity and the -slush fund Congressman Dave Mercer can sim plify and relieve an unpromising situsi tion in the First district by declining to be a candidate for renomination It is doubtful if the people of the district would strenuously object to such a course on Daves part and there is noth ing in Colonel Rosewaters recent ac tions to indicate that he would be utter ly disconsolate Daves usefulness in the First district may be questioned as for the future if indeed he hsis not been under suspicion for some little time past Let the people down there have a chance once They are the real ones at interest Hon John M Mickey From the Columbus Journal The following sketch of the life of Hon Johu H Mickey

increase is one fourth cent per mile In addition more liberal provisions have been made with trainmen in the matter of overtime or delayed time at terminals Under the new schedule trainmen will receive pay for the time they are delayed at terminals after being called for service Conductors Eph Benjamin and W D Beyrer represented the Western division in the conference The Tribune understands
