E. J. Carpenter's "A little Outcast,'
which has been making a sort of royal
progress through the country for the
past two' season's-appears Monday, No
vember 5, at the opera house with a
bigger equipment and a larger company
than ever before. It has made a record
which is tremendously complimentary
and is one of the most conspicuoas suc
cesses of the season. Mr. . J. Csrpea
ter, the owner and manager, practically
adopted "A IittleOutcsst" at the start
and the result of his interest is evident
from the success the piece has made.
Mr. Carpenter never ceased in his per
sistent invention, his watchful instinct
of comedy and ardent interest in the
piece; nor has he forgotten to strengthen
the cast splendidly, nor neglected the
costuming and the general beautifyiag
of the ensembe and the result is highly
gratifying. The story is a fascjaatiwg
one of New York life and carnee the
scenes with wift action from exclusive
mansions to crime haunted hovels and a
startling tale ia told with thrilling cli

The editor of the Fullerton Poet, in
his issue of last week, used nearly a col
vmn of space in making a statement to
the effect that W. F. Prowett. republi
can candidate for float representative, Is
not a citizen of the United States, and
that be has lived in this country, twenty-five
years without even declaring bis
intentions of becoming a citizen, and
Currier challenges the campaign com
mittees to refute his charges. That's
easy. Prowett filed his intentions in
1881, at which time this was all that was
required to make a man eligible to hold
ofiice, and took out his final papers be
fore Judge Holmes in 1901, J. H. Kemp
and J. W. McClelland being witnesses,

The political campaign of the repnb
licais, so far as public speaking is con
cerned, was ended last Saturday after
noon at the North opera house. It had
been advertised that Governor Cum
mins would speak, and. it was a great
disappointment that he was compelled
cancel this date on account of sickness.
C. N. McElfresh, candidate for county
attorney, presided at the meeting, and
after a song by the Central City glee
club, the next governor of Nebraska,
Hon. Geo. L. Sheldon, began speaking,
and for over an hour he discussed the
issues of the day from a republican
standpoint. Other candidates present
were Judge Boyd, republican candidate
for congress, and the legislative candi
dates. In spite of the disappointment'
caused by Governor Cummins inability
to be present, and the lateness of the
train bearing Mr. Sheldon, it was sn en-
tnusiasuc anu well attended meeting

Nilee Olson of Crestoni who is the re
publican candidate for supervisor from
district No. 1, is sn ex-member of the
county board, and while serving hi that
capacity made an exceptionally good
record. While the many frieads of Mr.
Wurdeman are sorry to ase aim with
draw, they are enthusiastic ia their sap
port of Mr. Olson's candidacy sad will
do all in their power to elect him sapor
visor. Note In our editorial coin
an error was made in the foilowiag
article. We intended to say that
more than one hundred witnesses were
summonded and drew their pay ia
steadof one.
Platte county has always beea ua
der the influence and control of the
democratic party. Can anyone be
proud of the fact? Are our taxes
less than in our neighboring republi
can counties? Not at all. Our taxes
have always been up to the full limit
of the law and all the traffic would
bear. Have we any fine public build
ings erected by our democratic offi
cials? Not auy. Next to Colfax
county, which is also democratic,
we
have the poorest court house ia
era ami or central Nebraska. Have
we any fine expensive bridges or mac
adamized roads? Not any. It is true
we have a good bridge over the Loup
but that was not built at the county's
expense, but by Columbus and Colum
bus township. Much of the money
raised annually, say by taxation, is
wasted we do not say by dishonest
officials, but by inefficient officials.
For instance, some years ago an at
tempt was made to rob the Platte
Center bank. It was a bungling at
tempt made in broad daylight, aad
the robber was easily captured.' When
it was brought to trial about one
witnesses were summoned. Four or
five witnesses were all that were nec
essary, and all that were actually
called to testify, but all those sum
moned collected their mileage aad
per diem from the county. Other
cases could be cited but this illustra
tes the point, lax payers, stead ap
for your own interests and vote for
McElfresh for county attorney.
