Many were challenged on each side who had a perfect right to vote but as the parties who were in doubt were from Missouri and had no other way of finding out they took this plan of proceedure. 3t was knowing no friends and fearing no enemies on the line of duty that may have caused some bitter feelings but we hope no one will feel personally grieved. The Republican of last week says "Be honest and fair in what you say , " and then goes on to say that the petition candidates were in fav or of gamblingQand law breaking and says "in fact they and the ele ment behind them have no stand ing. ' ' A great many slurs are cast by this would be reformer and pious man , that should not be said about people we meet in every day life and find them in everyway to be fair and honorable men. There is a time coming when the same man who says "they and the ele ment behind them have no stand ing" will regret using such words about a neighbor , a fellow citizen and men of more than his own popular ity. There is no call for such words. There was neither reason nor good judgement used in the attack upon three of Valentine's citizens , who are men of intelli gence , honor and good standing , are recognized to be so' by every body. It was not merely a lack of courtesy but. was an insult to these three men , their families and their friends who associate with them. It is mean and despicable to thus attempt to besmirch the reputation of men who have lived among us for years and who have always borne good reputations.

Our failure to get out on time was the result of the physical demoralization of the editor , caused by sleeping too close to the boarding house win dow. The cussed compositor set the last word "widow , " and the proof reader failed to discover the omission of the letter "n. " The editors trunk is still at the board ing house , and he hasn't had a change of shirts or socks for five weeks. ' ' Ex. The house of John Shaughnessy and wife caught fire last Saturday morning about 2:30 : o'clock while the occoupants .were asleep and nearly the whole of the upper story was burned before it could be put out. The neighbors gathered at the fire signal which was tele phoned down town by Judge Wal- cott who lives across the street from the Shaughnessy building , and soon had the water pouring onto the flames in a bucket bri gade and the fire department get ting out with the hose cart. The fire was extinguished before it burned through to the first story but the neighbors had already car ried the household goods out into the yard. Mr. Shaughnessy claims he was awakened by smote in the room down stairs and going out side saw the roof on fire near the chimney. He at once gave the alarm and aroused the neighbors who came running with willing hands to help. Prompt action saved the biggest part of the buil ding and household goods. ' The building was insured in the Ger man Mntual Fire Ins. Co. , of Om aha , which is represented here by their agent I. M. Eice , who after viewing the fire , reported to the Insurance Company at once. The Secretary and adjuster , C. W.
