Better "may be" see that ordinance before you do much stacking. Any man who thinks steadily on the subject for five consecu tive minutes will readily conclude that the reason for passing such an ordinan ce is that such combustibles are dan gerous. Last week Duvid Anderson turned over to James Kinemnn of l'olk county forty-nine two year old steers to be corn fed and fattenid for the Chicago mar ket next summer. Mr. Anderson will also furnish a lurge number of hogs to run and fatten along with these cattle. R. H. Henry iq also having n large num ber of cattle fattening by Butler county farmers. We lielieve the time is fast approaching wheu all the stock steers raised in Nebraska will lie fed at home, with the large amount of snrplus corn that will annually be raised by our farmers, instead of being driven out of the state into Iowa and Illinois, as is now being done, and eventually central Nebraska is destined to be one of the best cattle producing sections, as it is now one of the very best hog producing eectionB in the northwest. Allow no man to dictate your vote. Have the independence, the manhood, to stand for your right to vote for the men of your choice, aud not the choice of an other man who may imagine he has some "pressure" which ho can bring to bear upon you. Undue iutluence in election matters is one of the greatest, perhaps the very greatest, curse under a republican form of government, be cause the free, intelligent ballot is the very foundation of all our greatness as well as our existence as a nation. The truth is that he who corrupts the bal lot, or uses undue influences to gain votes is a greater traitor than he who takes up arms against bis government, because au open, fair avowed enemy is always better than one who seeks to gain his ends by cunning, by treachery and corruption. Vote as you will and not as another dictates. Active Agent Wanted for Platte County. Best land proposition ever offered.

KAVANAUGH Ever since the Columbus Light, Heat & Power companv began pumping water for the city, the meter placed at that time h&B not given satisfaction, for the reason that it was not in the proper place, and the city council has experienced considerable trouble with the water pro position. At one time a test meter was placed in service and this showed the defect of the regular meter. At last the council decided to remedy the matter aud A. Duesell & Son were given the job of plucing the meter where it belonged. Accordingly every preparation for the ehauge was made and the water com missioner gave notice that the water supply would be ehut off at 8 a. m. Monday. The water was shut off at that time, but soon people discovered that the light plant was shutdown. This was caused by the failure of the light company's wells to supply them with water, as it was supposed they would, but which they had not been using, as the city water was more easily available. This condition of affairs continued un til after 3 p. m., when the stand pipe was connected with the mains and the water turned on and the light plant started. The placing of the meter in its proper position will not interfere with either the city water or the light plant, and Dushell & Son now have this work well under way. Last Saturday morning the disciplin arian of the Genoa Indian school had an exciting time with a runaway pupil he was returning to that institution. This pupil is known as about the most diffi cult one to manage that they have to deal with, and he had just succeeded in reaching the reservation, in the north part of the state, after escaping from the school. The disciplinarian and his charge boarded the Spalding freight Saturday morning, and when about four miles out of this city the Indian asked permission to go into the closet. As he 'remained there some time, the discipli narian tried the door and found it lock ed and then asked the trainmen to open it. But when they investigated they found it empty, as the boy had jumped from the train while under full headway and made his escape. The disciplinarian at once secured a tenm and started after him, but did notsucceadin getting him, although he was Been by several farmers headed for the reservation. The Indian school ollicial came to this city and will go to the reservation anil take the Indian boy in charge again, when he shows up there. ( Last Friday evening the city council granted h building permit to O. II. Washburn for the construction of an office at the Airdome, provided the walls of the same are of brick. The petition, which was presented to the council ask ing that the Union Pacific maintain a street crossing nt the point where Fif teenth street crosses the Spalding branch was reported on favorably, and the clerk instructed to notify the company to com ply with the request. In order to meet the deficiency caused by the city being compelled to sell the Platte river bridge bonds nt a discount an agreement was made between the city nnd Platte coun ty, whereby the city should transfer $2,000 from the Loup river bridge sink ing fund to the Platte river bridge fund, the same to be replaced out of the city's apportionment of the county road and bridge fund. The ordinance regulating house movers and requiring them to give a bond was passed. A. B. McQuown filed his application for the position of city scavenger, and the council appoint ed him to that position. Congressman Latta and G. M. Hitch cock arrived in the city Tuesday morn ing a little behind their regular schedule. The meeting was held in the park and Congressman Lntta made the first ad ress, being introduced by Judge Hens ley. His talk was along national'issues. as was also that of Mr. Hitchcock, who compared the insurgent republicans with the democrats. He made but slight reference to Edgar Howard's charges, and if the crowd expected some thing along this line, they were disap pointed. He mentioned the state ticket, but that only briefly. A good sized crowd was present, and after the con clusion of the meeting the party left in automobiles for Oconee and other points in Platte county, where they were sche duled for the day, accoiupauied by a number of local democrats. This week workmen are taking out the old boilers from the west room of the old water works station, and if the building is in proper condition it will be used'for a city jail, the present one being practically of no use what ever The old stairway to the pumps has been taken out and an outside stair way put in. Should this be utilized for a jail, it could be heated from the elec tric light plant, as there is at present a steam pipe connected from the light plant to the one remaining steam pump, and it could also be used for heating.

The next step for Platte county, now that the bridge is complet ed, will be to commence action against Polk and Butler counties in order to compel them to pay their just share of the repairs on the bridge. Those who have examined the structure pronounce it first class, and one that will settle the Platte riyer bridge question for all time to come. And now that the south side farmers can again trade in Columbus, the merchants will regain the trade lost while the bridge was out. Warren A. Way, fur many years a resident of Columbus and vicinity, pass ed away Saturday evening at his home, in the west part of the city, aged sixty years. Mr. Way came to Platte cocnty over a quarter of a century ago, and for a number of years lived on a farm he owned between the Platte and Loup rivers. Later he moved to Columbus and engaged in bueiners, making this city his home. During the populist movement Mr. Way was one of the lead ers in that party and in 1902 he was elect ed state senator from the Twelfth dis trict composed of Platte and Colfax counties. Mr. Way was a New Yorker, being born in Peru, that state, October 27, 1850. On October G, 1872. he was married to Mary F. Dodge at Keysville, N. Y.. and she survives him, together with one son, Byron Way, and one daughter, Mrs. O. C. Breece of this city.

Y. M. C. A. Notes. The meeting for next Sunday after noon is to be a general meeting for aaen and women. Some ladies have asked the privilege of attending these meetings so the committee has decided to hold one open meeting each month if the attend ance warrants it. The meetings will be conducted by one of our young men. A "Spa" is being opened in the build ing by two Japanese gentlemen who are thoroughly versed in the prepara tion and serving light lunches, hot drinks etc. This will be a great aid in serving the Bible olass suppers, business men's banquets and various social affairs as well as add to the attractiveness of the bnilding generally. Next Friday evening a dormitory shower and social will be held on the plan of an open house and gymnasium exhibition. No admission will be char ged but you are asked to bring any arti cle that will make the dormitory rooms more homelike. IilIows. pictures, rugs and especially home made articles of de coration or utility are very acceptable. The dormitory men will help furnish the program. Each of the gymnasium class es will have its place and will be expect eJ to furnish its share of the evenings entertainment. This is the first of the monthly socials that are planned and we hope that the mothers, wives and friends of our members will be present to seethe class of work being done and to encourage the boys and men to stjll further improvement of their bodies. This is the time when the ladies especial ly should turn oat both to enjoy and to help maintain the interest in the work. Do not stay away because you have nothing to bring. Congregational Church. The man who talks about the soul and its need is often termed un idealist and visionary. Men say "give me the in dispensable. Recommend your religion to whom you will but let me have solid gold and silver " We might clap our hands at such wisdom if we bad not seen many deluded with that phantom. Why should we count that wealth in our hands will do more for us than it has done for others? Men of large fortunes have been miserable and have found neither rest or peace. The physical is one side of man's nature, and is worthy of careful consideration. The soul is just as practical and it is nitber vision ary unreal to sec that its hungering and thirsting after God are B.ilielied. In deed, a man may do this outside of tbe church bat is not liable to. The health ful christian man has over sought com panionship. The Congregations! people invite you to their services m-vt Sunday. In the morning the seruion suhjttot will be "The Soul's Consciousness. " In t be even ing it will be "The Religion of the Lord's Prayer tbe Bread Problem." William L. Dibble. The County Attorney. Tbe only county official to be elected this fall is the county attorney. It is of the utmost importance to the tax pay ers of Platte county that they exercise the highest degree of care possible in choosing for this local office a man of in tegrity who will give to the people an able and economic administration in office. We do it want a umu who will burden the county with petty litigation by stirring up law sui's betwt-en neigh bors and litigating over tritlea at the ex pense of tbe tux puyers. W do want a man who will uso ihe office for corrupt purposes or as a means to further a mer cenary desire. An office seeker should not be judged bv any war record he m.iy have but rather by his record for honesty or dishonesty in his dealings between man and man and by bis ability to han dle tbe office. C. N. MeElfreeh tbe re publican candidate has a record for hon esty and ability and will give tbe people an economic administration if elected county attorney. Route No. 3.

"A story that playa on the heart strings" is the description applied to "The Climax" by a noted New York critic, and local playgoers will realize the truth of this line when thecharaiag melody-play is presented at the North Opera House on Thursday Nov. 10. The Climax" enjoyed arua of almost a year at Weber's Theatre in New York. Tbe piece is tbe work of Edward Locke, an author heretofore unknown to fasM, but from whom even more brilliant things are expected. The aaasioal theme which bs a strong bearing on tae play is the work of Joseph Carl Breil. The story of "The Climax" concerns Adelina vou Hagen, daughter of a Ger man musician and an Italian opera sin ger, in New York. The Luigi and his son Pietro, who hopes to become a fam ous composer, live in a little stadio apartment in Gotham's latin quarter. Pietro thinks himself in love with Ade line, bat she loves only the career she is to follow. Dr. Raymond, who has known Adelina since childhood, does not believe tbe stage a proper vooatioa for any woman, especially for Adeline, whom he loves. The girl has a little troable with her vocal chords which a slight operation would care. The operation is performed by a prominent specialist, who assures Adelina that there is only one chance in a thousand for failure. Dr. Raymond, ready to do anything to keep the girl from the stsge suggests to her the probability of this one chance. He persists in this suggestion until the one day when the vocal chords should have healed. When she is permitted to try to sing, her voice will not coat. Finally she agrees to marry tbe doctor. On the wedding day Adelina discovers that htr voice io more beautiful than ever. Dr. Raymond confesses what he has done, offering as an excuse a blind intoxication of love. It wonld deprive local theatre patrons of part of their pleasure to tell then the whole story of the play. It will be seen from the above, however, that the theme is one of intense interest.
