Any Proposition
The growing season is here, with good prospects for a

braska. So, now, let us all do our part for the best busi
ness interests of Murray. We are here to help Murray

Practice Judging at Lincoln.
Cass county clubs were well repre
sented at Lincoln Saturday, June 21
at which time the college furnished
classes, In all projects to be used in
practice judging.
19 girls with their leaders repre
senting cooking, canning, clothing,
and girls room improvement clubs
were present. Animal husbandry,
adiry and poultry clubs were repre
sented by 12 boys.
About 400 boys and girls from all

One man was killed, several per
sons were injured, some seriously,
and damage estimated at 100 thou
sand dollars was done to farms by
a tornado which swept the foothills
south of the Platte river between
Gothenburg and Lexington, Neb.,
Tuesday evening.
The only known fatality is that of
Henry Roper, 55, who was killed in
the destruction of the home on a farm
i rented by his son-in-law, Frank
i Phillippi, seven miles southwest of
Lexington.
The most seriously injured thus
far known are Dr. J. H. Quinn, who
may die of internal hurts, and Ella
Pickering, 13, daughter of James
Pickering, farmer, who suffered brok
en ribs.
All South of Eiver.
The tornado damage was confined
to the south side of the river, it is
believed. North of the stream, where
towns along the Union Pacific lie,
there was rain and hail, damaging
crops badly, but no buildings were
destroyed and nobody was reported
injured.
The twister appears to have struck
first at the farm of Dr. Quinn. four
' miles southwest of Gothenburg. There
all the buildings were blown away.
Dr. Quinn remained upstairs in the
! home while his son, the latter's wife
and two children and the hired man,
George McGinis. sought safety in the
basement. The house was blown from
over them, and Dr. Quinn was found
unconscious in the wreckage. Mc
Ginnis suffered a six-inch scalp
wound when a refrigerator fell upon

m. Wednesday, July 30th and close at

Finds Business Very Good.
W. G. Boedeker who was at Chi
cago during a number of days last
week, returned home on Friday and
was well pleased with the business
outlook. The city itself was humming
with business. Speaking of the pack
ing interests lie had to say that the
houses were well filled with prod
ucts, but which were moving out
very rapidly, and the indications
that prices would !' better if cattle
and hogs were held from the market
for a short time, and this would al
low the packing houses to get their
reserve stock off their hands and
room for other.
Speaking of the farming interests
he had to say that the crop was
much like it is in this section of the
country, but with many areas for a
limited" distance which is over flooded
with water on account of excessive
rains and the way the drainage is
naturally formed.

SOME GUN
T. L. Colborn. the M. P. Agent at
this place'showed us a gun on Tues
day that was a real one. We should
Judge that this weapon was at least
100 years old.
It was of the old flint lock type
and muzzle loader. It was nicely fin
ished and had carvings upon it of
real workmanship. A head of a pirate
was cut in the metal on the top of
the gun. We suppose that the gun
might be classed as a revolver as it
shot a large ball and was perhaps
18 inches in length. He was inquir
ing for ammunition for this weapon
and we suppose that he wants to
keep it to replace the one that was
stolen at the depot when burglars
entered that place some time ago.
The gun is possibly worth some real
money as a relic cf by-gone days.

We advise von to get your Fire
works now. Omaha people are driving
to nearby towns and buying them in
i large quantities this year. Avoid dis
i appointment by buyii g now. See the

IOWA PEOPLE WEDDED
The home of Dr. and Mrs. It. P.
Westover was the scene of a very
pretty wedding on Tuesday after
noon when Miss Ada Fenron and Mr.
John Jay Wyland, both of Des Moines,
Iowa, were united in the bonds of
wedlock.
The marriage lines were read by
the Rev. H. (5. McClusky, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church and
in the presence of the Westover fam
ily. The groom is an old college friend
of Dr. West ever, having been a fel
low student at Nebraska university
and was also the room mate of Ber
nard Westover, brother of Dr. West
over, in the university days. Mr.
Wyland is now the state manager of
the Casualty. Insurance company
with his hearquarters at Dcs Moines
and where the young people will
make their home.
IUCPROVING FRONTS
The improvement program by the
property owners in the business sec
tion is being continued and makes
fcr a more attractive appearance in
the city in general. The buildings of
L. B. Egenberger have been given a
thorough repainting and adds very
much to the appearance of that part
of the cit3 while the Red and White
store is also resplendent in the color
ing from which the store takes its
name. One of the latest of the im
provements in painting and fixing up
is that of the building occupied by
A. J. Trilety and the adjoining build
ing where Ward Clark does his bar
bering and where al?o a new dry
cleaning establishment will soon be
opened.
All of these improvements show
the progressive trend of the commun
ity and add very much to the city in
general.
Better buy your Fourth of July
supplies now. See larg:& stock of Fire
