BROKEN BOW, Neb., March 7.—(Spectal,) —The question of bullding a new court house at Broken Bow stands where it did imediately after the fire. The levy, calling tor a better structure, was turned down by the people with a vote of 2,2% for, and 2,434 against. As no new propositions have been advanced so far to better the situa- tion, the affalr seems to be up to the county supervisors to repair the old court house as well as circumstances will permit and provide some sultable and safe place for the county records. The insurance money could be utilized and the balance drawn from the general fund with the statutory provision. Such is the opinion of County Attorney Gadd, backed by the at- torney general of the state, whose opinion was also asked. The county divisionists made a strenuous fight against the levy, which was clearly demonstrated by the large majotities that were ralled up in each division stronghold; but there were many antis who turned down the levy who were misinformed and led to belleve that the levy would be made on the actual valuation instead of the assessed valuation of property.

He was born in THE SATISFACTION OF LIFE Dr. Edwin H. Jenks Examines Into What it May Be. Rev. Edwin Hart Jenks, pastor of the First Presbyterlan church, occupled the pulpit Sunday morring at St Mary's Avenue Congregational church. He preached on “The Batisfaction of Life. Prefacing his sermon Dr. Jenks called attention to the Laymen's Missionary movement, urging all to unite in the work to make the coming convention the greatl- est of all religlous awakenings in Omaha. He emphasized the importance of mis- sionary endeavor in spreading the gospel and explained the objects of the Laymen's Missionary movement in furthering the work. In the fifteenth verse of the seventeenth Psalm are thess words: “As for me I will behold thy face In righteousness; I shall be satistied, when I awake with thy likeness.” )y This 1s a part of the prayer of David, whom Dr. Jenks called the greatest war- rior, the greatest general and the greatest king of his age. “When are we satisfled?’ asked the preacher. “Are we satisfied when we have what we want? 'We hear the father say that he will be satistied when he has given his sons a college education, and we hear mothers y they will be satistied when their daughters are married. We hear others say that they will be satisfied when they realize ambition, “We may read a serlal story. If a chapter ends abruptly we are not satis- fled fhere. We eagerly await the de- velopments of the next chapter and the next. Even when we reach the word ‘finis’ we are not satistied, for we want to know what happens next; we. want to know the sequel to the story, Look at David. We hear wonderful tales of his career. He was a brave war- rior, & champion, a great general and the greatest king of his age. He was the first in all. But was he satisfled in having what he wanted? He said In his prayer, ‘I shall be satisfied, when I awake with thy likeness. “In the great work of this life we are £0ing to get satisfaction out.of the work Itself, not out of the things that it brings us. Satisfaction comes in the struggle, in the aspiration, In the anticipation of what Is to come. We are strong because the satisfaction of life Is within us. “Satisfaction In life, then, is not in satlety or in having what we want. Satls- faction in life does not come from lay- ing down burdens. It is not what we have that gives satisfaction. Satisfaction in life Tes fust & Nttle further ahead; 1t is some- thing a little beyond what we have; it les In the wish for womething greater, in the aspiration aid aatcipation of the fature,” Persistent Advertising (s the road to Big | Senator from North Dakota Wants | Dakota should have a | elnct committeeman in one of the coun- ties in this congressional district commend- OMAHA, TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 1910, WCUMBER OUT IN THE COLD Look-in on More Jobs. SOUTH DAKOTA HOLDS TIGHT Internal Revenue O Office Offie WASHINGTON, D. C., March 7.—(Speeial | Telegram.)—President Taft, Secretary Bal- linger, Senators Gamble and Crawford of South Dakota and MecCumber of North Dakota had a conference today relative to the distribution of patronage in the Da- kotas where federal officers deal with the affairs of interest to the states Jointly, that (s, the offices of internal revenue collector and officials of the land office at Lemon, 8. D. Senator McCumber con- tended that as the business of the offices was conducted with In his state, North “look-in" on the Jobs. Senators Gamble and Crawford could not see it that way. They assedt that so far as the Jand office work at Lemon is concerned, only about 5 per cent of the public lands In the Lemon district are lo- cated in North Dakota, and so far as the collector of internal revenue is concerned, | about 76 per cent of the revenue collected | comes from South Dakota. Though there | are just now no changes to be made In any of the offices mentioned, It Is safe to say that should vacancies occur, Messrs. Jiamble and Crawford will control the situation and North Dakota will be obliged to take a back seat. Representative Burke of South Dakota | today secured the passage through the | house of a bill allowing an extension of one year's time to settiers in Tripp county, South Dakota, in which to make their final payments on homestead entries. This bill | will be looked after In the senate by Sena- tor Gamble, either as a separate measure or as an amendment to the Indlan appro- priation bill. It is however, assured of passage, being of interest to many persons, not only In Tripp county, but in Nebraska and Towa. Upon motion of Senator Brown, Grant G. Martin was today admitted to practice be- fore the supreme court and later in the day he made the leading argument in the Mis- soulr Pacific elevator cases. Representative Kinkald will be a can- didate for renomination. He is daily receiy- ing letters commending his course in ma ters of concern to his district. Nearly every letter recently received by Judge Kinkald urges him to be a candidate and he is al- most persuaded that he must make the fight. Letter from Constituent. Foliowing Is a copy of a letter recently received by Judge Kinkald from the pre- tles of the Sixth distriet: “Reposing special eonfidence in your ability and Integrity, and being further prompted by a general favorably expressed sentiment of voters in our respective coun- ing your previous mervices and record as congressman, and, realizing the fact that vou are a logical ‘standard bearer Who can, with a degree of certainty be succes: tul at the polls next November, as you were two years ago, in-face of the strong- est political opposition caused largely by the so-called ‘Bryan campalgn’ we beg leave to submit that aside from the loss | the people would sustatn in the matter of legislation and their various manifold in- terests by your retirement from congress, it would also be detrfmental to the party interes - » “We further submi that it will give us pleasure as representatives of the republi- can party of this district to carry out the detalls necessary for the proper placing of your fame before the people as a candi- dute for congress at the coming primaries. Have the kindness to advise at your earliest convenlence if this will be gcceptable to you." “An extract from a letter written by a prominent Sixth dlstriot republican leader to another leader, Inquiring of him, if Mr. Kinkald would be a candidate for re- election says: “No, T have no information whether or not Mr. Kinkald will be a candidate for ccngress, but my judgment fs he will be. As to conditions in this eounty, all repub- licans are for Kinkald. Every leader, every werker of the party, and the rank and file are for him. Kinkaid can be re-elected if nominated and I believe if he js a candi- date he will secure the nomination. 1 think it unwise to talk any other candidate than Mr. Kinkaid this year.” Western Affatrs.
