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.

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.

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. Delay in
receiving the necessary material has been
responsible for the long time taken to
complete the installation of the new
pumps, but now that everything is here,
it will soon be finished.

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.

been in ill bealt h for 6tveral months and
just one week ago last Friday Miss Katie
Stenger accompanied her to El Paso
All during the journey Utile Dolly seem

destination apparently stood the trip
well. But shortly after their arrival
she became ill, and this illness9 resulted
in her death. Dolly was born in this
city January 18; 1905, and was at the
time of her death three years, ten months
and one day old. The remains were

Last Thursday Mrs. Ed Fiynn was
arrested for being intoxicated; and
while in that condition was carrying ber

Finally some man took it from her and
gave it to them. They took the child
and gave it the proper care, while the
mother slept off the effects of the spree
in the county jail. The next day the
mother was released and given the babe,
under condition that she return to l.er
home in Platte Center. Her husband
was with her and was also under the in
fluence of liquor. He was told to accom
pany her, but failing to do so he was
placed in jail, and Saturday Police Judge
O'Brien gave him a sentence of thirty
days in the county jail, every other day

Hot municipal campaigns are now in
progress at Fullerton, St. Edward and

made strange bedfellows as politics
sometimes does. The faction alluded to
as "whisky men" by the prohibitionists,

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
