THE HERALD CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT
Tho Herald's voting contest is
tlie biggest thing that has ever
happened in newspaper circles
of northwestern Nebraska.
There are still live more weeks
of the contest, and there's going
to be big doing's during those
five weeks. The contest is go
ing nicely; but there is one thing
thawe are not quite satisfied
with: there are not quite as
many candidates, or contestants,
as we wtmt. Of course tho
heaviest voting will be during
the last few weeks of tho con
test, so that a candidate starting
in now and working would stand
a good show of finishing among
the leaders, with a possibility of
reaching first place.
There are now more prizes
offered then there are contest
ants, so that -there could be
several more condidates and still
every one be sure of winning a
prize. Ordinarily some article
of merchandise; or something
else of value, is considered more
appropriate as a present or prize
than cash: but to make this con
test as interesting as possible,
and to show our confidence in
the value of the prizes which wo
are offering, we will give every
winner of a prize her choice be
tween the prize which she wins
and cash, as follows:
Commencing June 1st, all
money received on new subscript
ions will be deposited as a fund
to redeem prizes, if desired by
the winning contestants. The
term "new subscriptions," as
used in this article, means sub
scriptions of all persons who
were not subscribers to The
Herald June 1, 1910.
The winner of first prize may
have her choice of the prize
won, or seventy-live per cent, of
the money voted for her on new
subscriptions from June 1st toi
the close of the contest. Ta il
lustrate, if $400 should be voted
for her on new subscriptions
during that time, she may have
her choice between the three
hundred dollar piano and $300
cash.
The winner of second prize
may have her choice of the prize
won, or fifty per cent, of the
money voted for her on new
subscriptions from June 1st to
the close of the contest. Sup
posing that $200 shall be voted
for her on new subscriptions
during that time, she may have
her choice between second prize
and $100 cash.
The winner of third prize may
have her choice between the
prize won and forty per cent, of
tho money voted on new sub
scriptions for her from Juno 1st
to tho closo of tho contest. To
illustrate, if $100 shall bo voted
for her on now subscriptions
during that time, she may have
her choice of third pi'izo or $10;
or if $200 shall be voted for her
on new subscriptions during that
timci her choice will bo between
tho third prize and $80 cash;
other amounts, of course, in tho,
same proportion.
Tho winner of fourth prize
may have her choice between
the prize won and , thirty-five
per cent, of the money voted for
her on new subscriptions from
Juno 1st to the closo of tho con
test. The winner of fifth prize may
have her choice of the prize won
or thirty-three and one-third per
cent, of the money voted for her
on new subscriptions from Juno
1st to the close of the contest.
The winner of sixth prize may
have her choice between tho
prize won and thirty per cent, of
the money voted for her on new
subscriptions froin Juno 1st to
the close of tho contest.
The winner of each prize be
low sixth may have her choice
between the prize won and twenty-live
per cent, of the amount
voted for her on , now subscrip
tions from June 1st to the closo
of the contest.
In tho event that either of the
winning contestants chooses the
cash as perabove order instead
of the prize to which she would
otherwise be entitled, then the
publisher of Tho Herald will
take her place in choosing a
prize and retain the one which
he may select, after all higher
winners have chosen their prizes.
"" MANNER OF AWARDING PRIZES
The contestant receiving the
largest number of votes, includ
ing all voted on new subscrip
tions, arrearages and renewals,
will be considered winner of first
prize and will have her choice of
all the prizes offered.
The contestant receiving the
second largest number of votes,
will have her choice of all prizes
remaining after the winner of
first prize has made her choice.
The winner of third place will
have her choice after the first
and second winners have chosen
their prizes; and so on down the
list. So it will be seen that
winners need not take tho prizes
in the order they are named In
tho published list, unless thoy
choose to do so, hut will bo given
their choice of prizes in tho order
of their winning.
PROVISIONS FOR TIE
In tho event of a tio vote be
tween two or more of tho can
didates, which might occur, tho
tio will bo decided as follows:
The total votes at tho closo of
business, Saturday, July 1, of
the candidates so tied, will bo
compared, and the ono having
tho highest number of votes at
that time will bo declared tho
winner of tho place for which
they wore tied. If this compar
ison should still show a tie, tho
votes for ono week preceding
that time, namely, Saturday,
Juno 25, will bo compared, and
so on back until tho tie shall
have been broken.

Unexpected Demise
A gloom of sadness was cast over tho
city Tuesday morning by the news of tho
unexpected death of "Mid" Regan, which
occurred at the hospital at 2 a. m. Sho
was operated on for tho removal of a tum
or on Monday, and no doubt would have
recovered and soon been in good health
had it not been that through weakness of
(he heart she failed to stand the shock of
tho operation. Her death was calm and
peaceful.
Miss Margarot Regan, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Regan, was known to a
very large number of people of this city
and county, and was universally respected
by her acquaintances. She was a member
of tho Catholic church and was noted for
her devotional spirit. Although not in the
best of health, she was able to attend to
her business as n milliner up to tho day
preceding her death. Doing a member of
St. Agnes Court, Daughters of Isabella,
she attended tho meeting of that order on
Sunday and participated in the exercises.
Tho funeral service will bo tomorrow
(Friday forenoon. Requiem Mass will be
said In Holy Rosary church and interment
will bo in the Catholic cemetery. To the
bereaved relatives and the many sorrow
ing friends, The Herald extends sincere
condolence.
