THURSDAY , FEBRUARY 25 , 1909. The enemies of every good and great man are always finding some flaw in the good man's armor. Just now a lot of moralists in Ne braska are berating Mr. Bryan because he became a member of the fraternal order of Eagles. They say ] \Ir. Bryan gives the lie to his pretentions when he becomes a member of such an order. They say he should not join an order which admits saloon-keepers and bar-tenders to membership. lam glad Bryan had the courage to de fy his critics. I don't know much about the order of Eagles , but I have personal acquaintance with some splendid t'ellows who do be long. It may be true , as some men say , that many of the leaders in that order are non-religious and adicted to intoxicating drink , but it is not true that the order as such stands in opposition to religion and good morals. On the con trary , its teachings are good. One of the best moral lectures ever de livered in Nebraska was uttered by a member of that order , at a recent meeting of the Eagles' grand lodge. Simply because Mr. Bryan never touches liquor , nev er smokes , never swears , the mor alists say he has no right to asso ciate with men who do not live the kind of life he lives. That kind of argument would bar the average man from going into the presence of his own mother. The Eagles cannot harm Bryan , and if he must lose the friendseip of the moralists because he joins the Eagles , or any other lodge , for that matter well , the loss will not be great. If there is bad in the Eagles the bad will not touch Bry an. If there is good in the Eagles then the good part will be found by Bryan , and he will use that part for the betterment of every Eagle whose feathers shall touch bis own white and clean life. Col umbus Telegram. ( Rushville Standard. ) A ' * Pure Food law" sounds well. How would a"Pure Flue law" sound ? The omen folks aren't in it with the present state legislature , which seems to know more about what's good for women than they do themselves , so their suffrage bill has been stabbed. We believe that Rushville will not hesitate to vote bonds to put in a good up-to-date water system for the protection of property. It is a business proposition with the business all on one side. By R. K. WATSON 3ic.jflk.j3s. A pleasant letter from Mabel Hclxer at Park College , Mo. , was received Tuesday. She is pro gressing nicely with her work and says there is a larger attendance I at the college this year than ever before. ! Our winter term of school will I close on Friday , March 5th. and ; the spring term will open Monday , March Sth. We hope to have all the little folks who intend to enter i school this spring plan to bo on hand March Slh or just as soon thereafter as possi ! ! * ' . . Usually ' the spring term of school begins the first of March but we opened school one week late last Septem ber and we are still a week late. Tony Maufe Captured. Sheriff Rosseter received a mes sage the first of the week from Verdigris in Knox county asking if the § 50 reward was still good for the capture of Tony Maule who broke jail here last July , to gether with another prisoner who pried the jail door oil' and made their escape. Verdigris was the old stamping ground of Tony Maule and the people there were on the lookout for him. Sheriff Rosseter wired back that the reward was good and lo take the prisioner in charge. Having another case on hand de manding his attention , the sheriff deputized County Attorney Tuck er to go after the prisoner , and once more he stands behind the bars awaiting a more serious charge than he had to face before. He was arrested with his father , James Maule , for theft and pilfer ing near Simeon and lodged in jail , after a preliminary trial in the county court last April. The father was released on a bond of S500 which was furnished by H.LI. Wakefield of Crookston , and be fore the next term of the district court skipped out , leaving his bondman to pay the § 500. On Friday night , July 10 , 1908 , Tony Maule and Fred Gardner broke jail and stole a mare and colt from Matt House and a horse from Jess Brosius on north table , making their escape , and at Cody they attempted to sell the horses , which caused suspicion and Valen- entine people were notified but we seemed lo be asleep and they were permitted to get away. Sheriff Rosseter has been active in his search and has at last landed Tony back safely in jail. Tony will probably try to shift the theft to his father and to Gardner , but he appears to have been a pretty strong accomplice and can't get around the fact that he broke jail and that a rode one of the stolen horses to get away. Eastern Star at Woodlake Last Saturday night the Wood Lake Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star held a special meet ing and invited Ainsworth and Valentine members to join them for the evening. Special preparations were made for this meeting because the Grand Worthy Matron of the O. Ij ) . S. of Nebraska , Mrs. Aplin , of Rush ville. was to meet with them. J. P. Kreycik of Arabia was initiated fnto the order , and after the meeting adjourned a banquet was spread on a long table reach ing the length of Honey's hall. Mrs. L. C. Sparks , Mrs. I. M. , Rice , Rev. W. W. Wells and ye | editor went from Valentine and we j j visited with W. A. Parker while i the others attended the lodge , neither Mr. Parker nor myself be- ing members. About eleven o'clock W. V. Johnson came down to invite us up to the banquet. It was just about the time to get hungry and the Wood lake ladies had prepared a feast of good things to eat and 'everyone ate with a relish. I No Change in Transfer Station. i No change in the transfer sta tion now says the Omaha Bee of the 23rd. The commissioner ' F Indian affairs stated that iheiv will be no decisive action taken at the Indian\uice until a clear un derstanding of conditions and points involved and that no change would be made unless it was clearly - j ly demonstrated that the transfer would result in some advantage to the government , and that it would not operate to the disadvantage of Indian teamsters while engaged in ' transportation of supplies for the j Rosebud agency and school. This means that the Indiacf sup ply depot will remain where it is , for investigations will show that the Rosebud boarding school is two or three miles east of Valen tine and north and that a more centra ! point cannot be found than Valentine and that the roads are better than from any other rail road point , considering both the agency and the school. Valentine is most likely to get the freight division in the near fu ture and passenger trains Nos. 1 and 2 will shortly be put on again , so we are informed. The rail road company has decided to move their stock yards to a point farth er east , where the city has fur nished the ground , and the com pany agrees to maintain the arch light at the tracks on Main street and permits electric light wi es to pass over their tracks and water mains under them. Everybody boost a little for Valentine. Corning : The Ciamans. For the first time in the histor.yx of your city , you will have the ple asure of witnessing the true-to- life western melodrama "On the Frontier" , Feb. 27th , 1909 , in Church's opera house. Not a blood and thunder , blood curdling affair as some western plays often are. but a beautiful sto ry of early life in the West , inter mingled with bright , clean comedy. It portrays the love and devo tion of a cowboy for his mother ; the typical western girl , afraid of nothing , and her tenderfoot lover who is always "Just on time" , in the thrilling climaxes ; the thrilling knife fight of Dick the cowboy and a redskin ; and the real live kitty that steals the keys that open the prison doors ; will long be remem bered by young and old.

Valentine , Nebr. We hear that the Valentine school board needs reorganizing. Mi > s Katie Carroll , who for sev eral months past has been a valu able assistant at THE DEMOCIIAT office , ha been kept at home with a bad cold recently. J. li. Quigley returned from Lincoln Saturday night , where he had been lobbying for Valentine and Cherry county. His son , Bryan , returned with him. Monday the snow began failing and though the thermometer was only a few degrees below freezing the wind blew chilly from the northeast. It was probably the biggest snow of the season and drifted pretty bad , delaying the Simeon and Rosebud mails a dav. Notice to Owners of Tov/n Cows.
