Frank E. Moores was re-elected
Mayor of Omaha Tuesday for the
third time. The vote stood :
Moores , r , 6,022.
HoweJl , d , 4,502.
Benson , ind. 5111.
The supporters of each candidate
felt confident of their success but
had they been sensible enough tote
to have kepi out a three ringed
fignt and have gone to the poles
voting for one or the other of the
two men it would have decided
something. As it is now Omaha
is ruled by the choice of one third
of the" people and the Mayor ,
Moores can at no time feel that
he has Omaha at his back. But
what does Moores care for that ?

An insurance agent by the name

panies in Nebraska and can't afford cb
to load them down with another a ;
company. The German Mutual th

Mercantile Mutual , of Lincoln , will thi

better companies in existence than
these for honesty , safety and

Tuesday was field day exercises
at Fort Niobrara and a number of
Valentine citizens went down to
witness the sports. The game' of
ball between the 1st and 3rd bat
talions was played in the afternoon.
A rain sent the spectators from
the field but the players after a
brief 'stop , continued the game
The 1st battalion was 10 to 6 in
the 5th inning and probably won the
game. We ought to nave a correspondent
pendent from the Fort and wil
furnish writing material postage
and a free copy of the paper to a
writer who will report the happen
ings there.
Editor Lyon of the Gordon
Journal is aching to get away from
his town and wants to come to
Valentine. We hear that he has
been making overtures to Brother
Barker for an interest in the Rep
ublican. We also hear that Lyon
told several people in Valentine
when he was here a few weeks ago ,
that he could buy out the DEMOCRAT
but that he was a republican in
politics and couldn't run a demo
cratic paper. We do not know
here Brehr Lyon got his information
mation that he could buy the DEM-
OCKAT office. He should consult
us before making the statement
that he can buy this office.

Editor VALENTINE DEMOCRAT :
At a meeting of the citizens of
Valentine , TV. S. Barker , editor of
the Republican ; D. E. Sherman ,
postmaster ; J. T. Keeley , deputy
Co. clerk ; Judge F. M. Walcott ;
L. C. Sparks , ex county supt. and
J. C. Pettijohnverc appointed as'
an executive committee to have
complete control and management
of all affairs relating to providing
rooms and board for teachers at
tending the Normal.
At this writing we have pledged
rooms for at least 150 non-residents
of Valentine. Private board and
room for about 30 will be provided
at prices ranging from § 3.50 to
§ 3.75 per week , mostly at § 3.50.
Room will be from 50c to § 1.00 per
week , most of them from 50c to
75c. In most cases teachers will
have to care for their own rooms.
We have raised § 00.00 with
which to fully equip a dining hall.
We have fixed the price of board
at the dining hall at § 2.75 per week
if the teacher pays ten weeks in
advance or to the end of the term
from the time she enters , provid"
ing : entrance is made during first
half of term. The rate will be § 3
pei } week if paid weekly in advance
or if the teacher enters school dur
ing last half of term.
If a teacher shall be unable to
attend the whole term on account
of sickness , a refund , for the part
3f term not attended will be made.
The committee yet hopes that it J
*
may be able to reduce the price of j
board at dining hall to § 2.50 and e
mve decicded that if at the end of
he term there are funds sufficient
m : , hand received from board at
lining hall to refnnd to each teacher ti
oarding there 25c or more per S (
veek , it will be done. The larger
he : attendance the cheaper the st
oard at dining hall can be made.
Ve hope to see a large attendance , ;
is the teacher's chance , and we
iope they will make use of it. Weei :
rill take care of all who come and in
rill do so properly. fa
Remember we guarantee you dc
lat in no instance need board and ve
dging cost to exceed § 3.75 per
eek. It will average about § 3.50 ,
robably less. mi

How Some Easterners
Regard Us.
They wear their breeches in their boot
Out west ,
Tbuir jewelry's the kind that shoots
Out west ,
The men are toughs with fighting sand
The women holy terrors , and
The girls are fresh to beat the band
Out west.
The maidens all wear cowboy hats
Out west.
And wear no corsets on their slats
Out west ,
And when a lover seems to feel
Too shy to make the sweet appeal ,
They pull a guu and make him'sq-ieal ' ,
Out west.
The women vote the same as men
Out west , '
Preach politics with voice and pen
Out west ,
\nd if a husband makes a play'
To take the sacred right av\ay , *
He grows baldheaded in a day ,
Out west
Aud jet \\e love those ratty cranks ,
Out west ,
\Ve get the gold to fill our banks ,
Out west.
They dig it up in every \ard
And that is why we try so hard ,
To hold them in our high regard ,
Out west.
