He never attended one and I doubt if he ever was inside of one. “But he is my friend and a good man” #aid McDowell, “and it is not to his dis credit, that being born and to & large ex- tent raised In & forelgn country, he at- tended private schools.” To this the secretary of the board an- swered: “T do not care for personal friend- ships.

APATHY THE ONLY DANGER Certaim te Win if They continue ity is to- for “Apathy among republicans s the only thing that can beat us in Douglas county end in the Fourth judicial district this campaign,” sajd W. A. Redick, nominee for Judge of the Gistrict court to the First Ward Republican club last night, I have noticed the apathy with apprehension and I fear the republicans are relying too much on & reunited party and suffering from over-confidence. ' While it true that the party presents a solid fromt, yet we cannot elect our men If the voters stay at home. The first day's registration hows a gratifying ratio of republicans ) democrats but it does not show half the number of republicans that it should. Bvery man should get out and register and remember to vote™ The meeting was well attended in Lin- coln hall at the corner of Bixth and Plerce streets. It was the first meeting of the First ward club since the convention and the evidence went to back up the state- ment of E. J. Cornish that the repub- fcans of the ward, without exception, would vote for and work for the ticket straight through, Mr. Cornish gave up part of his remarks to words in favor of the judicial ticket. He said he had mot found s single republican lawyer in the soclety who supported the so-called “non- partisan” patchwork. Statements by the democratic press that seme of the ‘repub- lican candidates for the bench are incom- petent are notoriously untrue, Mr. Cornish declared, and he scored the candidates who, after trying for republican nomina- tions, accepted nominations at the hands of an opposing party. In this guise, the speaker said, they attempt to injure the organization thal hes made them. He urged effective work this fall to strengthen the party for the future Police Judge Berka, candidate for re- election, sald things never looked brighter for republicans in Douglas county. M.

STREET LIGHTS AND WALKS Omala View Improvers Express De- for Some City Ne- cessitien. The Omsha View Improvement club met Fridey night with a large attendance and President Callahan In the chalr. The side- walks on Ohio strest near Thirty-third were veported in an extremely bad cop- @ition and where any fmprovements had been made at all they were practically useless because of the adjacent sections of sidewalk being almost impassible. The ¢lub resolved to get after nonresident property owners to compe! them or thelr agents to make sidewalk improvements along their property. It was reported that the gasoline lamps along Ohio street from the raflroad to Thirty-second street are not lighted half the time. Lights are badly needed at Thirtleth and Lake, Thirty-fourth and Corby, Thirty-fourth and Maple, Thirty- third and Burdette, Thirty, F¥th and Lake and at Thirty-fourth and Miam! streets The matter of the alleged diversion of the funds for the Saddle Creek main sewer to the construction of private sewers by the city councll was again brought up and Aincussed.

The club and its friends will meet in the headquar- ters of the club at Thirty-second and Corby streets at 730 p. m. and proceed in a body to the mass meeting. The action of the city council in dodging on the proposition to submit the electric light purchase question was severcly com- mented wpon. Some of the members fa- | vored a mass indignation mecting and passing resolutions expressing public sen- timent on the matter.
