All accounts received from all sources show Sulzer
still to be leading in the race for congress. As a matter
of fact he has been in the lead since the race began, al
though some papers by slipshod methods 01 lack of in
formation declared Wickersham once to he in the lead by
three hundred. All the reports coming to the (lateway by
cable or by mail or from people on steamships Indicate
that the Democrat is something like one hundred and iitty
votes in the lead and looks like a winner.
The death of Emperor Franz Josef, or Francis
Joseph, removes a wonderful figure from the stage of life.
For many years it has been predicted that his death would
mean the breaking away of Hungary from Austria but
now, of course, with a Hungarian leading the imperial
government and with the empire under military law the
break cannot come even if it was desired. The old em
peror was wonderfully beloved. All writers speak of him
as most modest and God-fearing and yet he suffered aw
ful tragedies in his family. Once his only son was found
murdered in a castle and. if memory is correct, the count
ess involved was dead beside him. lhe real facts oi the
tragedy have always been kept more or less secret but it
is safe to say that the woman's husband was involved.
Then came the murder of the Empress by an anarchist.
The murder of the Austrian heir-apparent brought on the
present war. and only a few days ago came the murder of
the Austrian prime minister. At every stage of the ven
erable old man's life the shadow of death was hovering
around in its most horrible form.
It is very strange that a government asks presents
of land for government uses. Of course, one cannot pro
test too much. Some officials might get sore and when an
official gets sore it means terrible calamities for ordinary
mortals, as though Jupiter hath frowned. The people of
some towns are paying taxes to a government. The gov
ernment decides that a certain improvement is necessary
but it believes the people should pay extra taxes to have
it. Indeed, the people are covertly warned that they must
come across. But, in the case of the Seward radio sta
tion it may be that the government only desires to put it
up to the people to see that the site would not cost an ex
orbitant price. It should be remembered that a radio
station would be very useful to give us communication
with all places. As an asset in other ways it is not very
great. The fact that it would cost fiftv thousand dollars
does not at all mean that such a sum would be spent here
or a tenth part of it, perhaps. The number of men em
ployed permanently would, maybe, be a few more than are
employed by the cable office as we should have to have a
town office also.

Buy a Home in Woodrow
The Beautiful Suburb
Of Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow lies near Bear Lake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow may be said to be in the warm belt as the
hills are so situated as to shelter this tract from the winter
winds.
Woodrow is situated just this side of the Bungalow
and plotted on the most desirable portion of the Johnson
Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low that no one can complain.
You can buy a tract of about one third the size of a
block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75.
The title is clear—A warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow is plotted in tracts situated each on a street
and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
ROMIG & ROMIG are handling this property and
will he pleased to interest you in the best offer for a suber
ban home ever made in Seward.
