Following resolutions were adopted
Belt resolved by the caucus of the
Citizens party of the city of McCook
Nebraska that wo pledge ourselves and
our candidates by us nominated to tho
following
First To sane progressive economic
and business methods in all municipal
-affairs tho welfare of the city as a whole
to be considered in preference to in
dividual or corporate interests
Second Tho impartial and full en
forcement of nil city laws and ordinances
Third The limiting of saloons to the
present number and tho better regula
tion of tho ones we now have
E ourth Published reports of the pro
ceedings of the school board and pub
lished reports at least quarterly of the
city treasurer
Fifth That whereas the rates charged
by tho McCook Waterworks Co for
water both flat rates and meter rates
re exorbitant and in excess of the rates
charged under similar condions in other
cities and whereas tho water service is
grossly inefficient and inadequate and
especially so during the sprinkling
hours thus not only depriving us of the
use of water to which wo are justly en
titled but also subject us to great danger
of the loss of our homes and places of
business by fire by reason of the inade
quate water service with which to fight
ire therefore be it resolved that we
favor the passage of such reasonable or
dinances as will procure for us reasona
ble ivater rates and tho maintaining of
tho present system of water works or the
increasing of them to such an extent as
will insure for us an adequate supply of
water for use and fire protection until
such time as the municipality may be
able to purchase such waterworks or in
stall a plant of its own and be it further
resolved that we favor municipal owner
ship of all public utilities and that we
urge upon the city authorities to so con
duct the finances of the city that such
municipal ownership may be accom
plished at the earliest possible time
Thai we condemn in the most em
phatic manner the present abominable
electric light service and tho extortion--ate
charges therefor and urge the city
authorities to do all in their power to
obtain relief from such inadequate ser
vice and excessive charges

Arthur Hartman is a very great artist
perhaps the greatest living violinist
He has the art that conceals the art
With him the violin is an extension of
human speech and the soul of tho man
is so great so saturated with the sub
lime emotions that he floods an audience
and takes it captive as no man has
since the days of Paganini It is that
last indescribable human quality which
distinguishes the great artist from the
talented party or tho industrious person

were loth to go In fact the entire aud

and when the accommodating performer
in response to prolonged applause did
the unusual thing of appearing in re

the listeners gladly resumed their seats
