As heretofore, we still insist that those who are intending to go to the Itlack Hills, are in our opinion, contemplating an unwarrantable adventure. The great probability is that the excitement which is prevalent on the subject, and which is due to the reports from that region emanating from Sioux Oity. and Chey enne, is gotten up and fostered for in terested purposes by those two cities. Rev. A. J. Wright has been appointed by Gen. Hawkins as local distributing agent for Platte county, and id empower ed to issue to all those enrolled for the purpose, army rations, consisting of corn meal, lard, tea, sugar and salt Rations will be issued, on the receipt of the sup plies, for twenty-two days. Recipients are requested to bring sacks and vessels for meat and lard. The rations will be given out every day until the supply shall have been issued, and it is desir able that recipients call soon. The ra tions for one person for twenty-two days will be 44 lbs. corn meal, 44 oz. lard, 2 oz. ten, 1 lb. sugar and 1 lb. salt. There are 687 persons on the roll for rations, but this number is evidently a misapprehen sion in regard to the object of the en rollment, for there are many on the roll who supposed that tbeir names were beisg taken only for seed. Neverthe less they arc entitled to' draw rations, and Wright will act in this matter, wholly under instructions from Gen. Hawkins. THE BROWNER FARM Will be sold next Tuesday at the Court House at 2 p. m. This farm will be sold in 40 aire, 80 acre, 120 acre, 200 acre or 280 acre tracts.

Now is the time to get . your Signs We do Artistic Sign Writing Paper Hanging All the New Spring Styles of TVall Paper KAV AN AUGH &BETTERTON There is a city ordinance which says that trains shall not block croMiDga be yond a certain time. Thjs ordinance has never been enforcedor the reason that no one has filed complaint, and the public has borne the inconvenience and orally and mentally cursed the railway company and trainmen. The ordinance has been ignored so long that when Harry Musselman, landlord of the Pa cific hotel, entered complaint against its violation at headquarters, but little attention was paid to his protest. Final ly Mr. Musselman decided to interest himself in the enforcement "of 'the cross ing ordinance. Last week, he notified the train dispatcher and station agent that commencing TuesdayMarcb 23, be would swear out a complaint against all conductors who blocked a crossing with tbeir trains more "than five minutes. When'No. 4 palled in Tuesday morning Mr. Musselman was at the depot. After the train bad 'stood on the crossing for more than five minutes, he informed the conductor that he was holding the crossing in violation of the ordinance. The conductor took exceptions to some thing Mr. Musselman said and called him a liar, but the presence of Officer Nelson prevented a fistic encounter. In his attempt to enforce the crossing or dinance Mr. Musselman has the back ing of the business men and citizens of the south side. It may be inconvenient for conductors to strictly obey the or dinance, but the vestibule doors could i be opened and people allowed to pass across the platform when trains are held at crossings beyond the legal limit, but up to the present time the railway com pany has not consented to accomodate the public to this extent. Let the cros sing ordinauce be enforced. A special musical programme was rendered by the members of the Metho dist church choir and their friends Sun day evening. The program began prom ptly at 7:30 p. m.,and was carried out as previously arranged with the exception of a solo by Miss Hazel Studley, who on acoount of illness was unable to be pres ent. The contribition which was re ceived at that time will be used by the choir in the purchasing of music. The first number on the program was a song service by the choir; this was fol lowed by prayer and scripture reading by Rev. Rough. A quartet, Misses From and Turner and Messrs. Turner and Kumpf, rendered "The Recession," composed by Reginald De Koven. Mr. O. W. Raymond of Lincoln, sang a solo, and following this Mrs. Janing, assisted by Miss Emma Zinnecker sang a duet entitled, "He Careth for Thee." Mies Maude Murrell of Fremont then sang "My Redemeer." Rev. Roash then de livered a short sermon choosing for his subject "Christ and Music." Will Far rand rendered 2. solo entitled, "The City of Refuge." Mrs. Bowers sang "Hold Thou My Hand." Maurice Whitmoyer, sang a solo entitled "Be Thou Nigh." A duet was rendered by Miss Maude Mur rell of Fremont and Mr. L. L. Lease of this city. An anthem entitled "Love Divine" was rendered'by the choir. Almost a complete city ticket was named by the republican mass meeting at the Firemen's hall last Friday even ing.

From seven o'clock Sunday morning until three o'clock Monday afternoon the city was without water, as it was necessary to remove a section of the ten inch main at the pumping station, in order to put in the meter which will de termine how much water the electric licht company pumps for the city. The job took a little longer than was antici pated, as it was thought that everything would be ready for pumping by Sunday evening For the present one steam pump is doing the work, for although there is one of the new pumps in place, it has not been connected np.

The Equitable BiiliiigLiH&SafiigsAssi Office with ELLIOTT, SPEICE & CO.x P. O. Block Those who have heard Bishop W. E Quayle in his lecture pn'Hall Oaineand His Island," in whioh Qaayle tells of the Ufa of the Manx folk. Sod the powor oLf the sea over the lives of those born with in its' domain, will better understand something of the feeling which Hortense Nielsen, who appears at the North Theatre on Monday March 29, puts in to the part of Illida in "The Lady From the Sea," Henrik Ibsen's play first stag ed in America by this emotional, actress who feels her part, who puts her eoul as well as her study into this most difficult role. ' Miss Nielsen seems to feel that terrible awe which comes from contact with the sea, though, a landsiioman in every sense of the word. -Bishop Quayle says that in the Use of Man that the sea is everywhere; that it stares over your shoulder at meal time; that it peers into your book; that it looks you in the faoe as you sleep. Perhaps it is this terrible awe that' Miss Nielsen inter prets in "The Lady From the Sea" that impels one to think of the sea as close at hand, as being an omnipresent creature, sullen, unrelenting, yet speaking a language all its own to those whose ears are turned to its whisperings, its songs, its wrathful murmurings. Perhaps Miss Nielsen could have not been better adapted to the part of Illida of the Sea had Ibeen studied her style and have written the play for her. Instead she now 'feels it within her power to trans late the heretofore undiscovered strength of the part and the play.

Hot municipal campaigns are now in progress at Fullerton, St. Edward and Albion. At Fullerton the contest has made strange bedfellows as politics sometimes does. The faction alluded to as "whisky men" by the prohibitionists, named a prominent member of the Methodist church for mayor, and although he is in favor of licensing saloons he has the active support of the leading members, of his church. His opponent, who is against licensing saloons, is backed by the bootleggers and some of the druggists who are oppos ed to license, as well as one faction in the prohibition party. At Albion and St. Edward two-thirds of the busine-a men are openly supporting licene Mouday evening the democrats select ed tbeir city ticket for the spring elec tion April 6.
