THURSDAY , MAY 3 , 1906.
Ex-Governor James E. Boyd
died at his home in Omaha , Mon
day , April 30 , 1906 of ailments
brought on from old age. He was
the first democrat elected to the
gubernatorial chair in Nebraska ,
which occurred in 1890. He was
twice elected mayor of Omaha and
was an advocate of municipal own-
nership. He was born in 1834 : .
James C. Dahlman was elected
mayor of Omaha Tuesday by near
ly 3000 majority over Erastus A.
Benson. It was a landslide for
Jim and it may mean a great open
ing to him into future public life.
f
"We are not launching a boom for
him for some other office , simply
because he has been successful as
a campaigner for mayor of Oma
ha. People , hcnvpver , will have a
better chance to study the sturdy
character of a self built man of
the plains , who turned adversity
into triumphant success in many
instances , and now , as mayor of
the metropolis of Nebraska , will
lose none of his popularity gained
in other parts of the state.
Gov. Hoch of Kansas is being
charged with the serious offense
of trying to embrace a woman
and the woman reluctantly ( ? ) ad
mits that it was true , but she would
rather the papers wouldn't say
anything about it. Unfortunately -
ly true she admits. Who do you
suppose told the story to begin
with ? Does anyone suppose that
Gov. Hoch would tell the story on
himself to slander the woman and
himself ? Or did the poor , foolish
woman tell it herself as a boast of
her attractive femininity or be
witching powers over man ? Gov.
Ho h should be renominated for
governor of Kansas if this is his
only crime.
THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT cel
ebrates another birtlvlay thn woplc
with th ' present editor and pro
prietor. Six .vears have we stood
at the head of the biggest , oldest

ments in our field of labor and our
patrons also rejoice with us in
prosperity. They have helped us
to prosper and have prospered in
so doing. We thank our patrons
and all who have smiled upon us
in approval. If we have not ful
filled their greatest expectations ,
they will bear with us. We have
not done as much as we hope to do.
Ours is no idle boast. Ourstoudy
t
growth has spoken what we could
not say in brief speech. To one
and all , we invite you to read and
patronize TJIE VALENTINE DEMO
CRAT and mingle with the already
large concourse of people who
have made this county , this state
and the world better for their hav
ing lived.

County Surveyor Evans of Keya
Paha county was out running the
lines on E. L. Hutchison's land
in the interest of Mr. Hoover , who
is contesting Mr. Plutchison's
homestead un ler the Kinkaid law.
There were some exciting scenes ,
picturesque language and rattling
up of rim oltlwst inhabitants over
the location of the line between
Messrs. Hancock and Sorby , but
at the last the township line was
left where it was originally locat
ed. Wonder if our surveyor is a
bad man with a gun ? Or did he
think he was coming into a des
perate community where a revolv
er and belt of cartridges comes
handy ? There is a 16x18 smile in
the neighborhood over the result
of the surveying.
