Hereafter when the officials decide to

change the will first be advised by the
railroad commission It has ii t yet
been decided whether the commission
will fix the age limit and color of hair
for the typewriter and stenographer
girls or not
Now for that new depot up town and
spur leading to it It can be done and
ought to be dono The track could be
laid up Cedar street to 4th Avenue and
the depot could be located in the Myers
lot just north of the 4th Avenue hotel
Wo have no doubt that if the people
would build the depot but what th
Burlington would put the track up
town The Commercial club might see
if this could be done At least it would
be a nice thing for the city of Red Cloud

Clint Smith a Burlington brakeman
received a slight trouncing at the hands
of Dr Wilson Monday It appears that
the Doctor had made some comment on
the unbecoming conduct of Smith and
the latter demanded an apology In
reply tho Doctor handed him one
Smith accepted this as an apology but
later had the Doctor arrested on a
charge of assault A fine of 82 and
costs amounting to 8780 was assessed
which he paid at once A subscription
paper was started and a sufficient
amount subscribed mostly by married
men who have daughters growing up
to reimburse the Doctor for his trouble
