Two noted deaths in Nebraska the past few days—ex-Gov. Boyd at Omaha last Saturday, and Hon. Jack McCall at Lexington. Monday. Reliable reports come to us tliat B. & M. surveyors are busy between Boelus and Cairo, and that work be tween those places will soon be begun. it is said that the railroad hotel at Ravenna will not be rebuilt, and in stead only a lunch counter eating house will be maintained in its place. A straw on the change in the main route of the B. & M. between Cairo and Dunning. The Times last week brought out ex-Representative E. H. Kittell of Rockville as the coming candidate of the opposition for representative. We may then consider it authentic that Kittell will be the man the populists will place at the head of their county ticket. From the fact tliat reports from the Pacific Coast are to the effect . that earthquake shocks are occurring daily at various points on the coast since the great upheavel on the 18th instant, timid people are insisting that it is almost like flying in the face of Providence to stay there or rebuild fortunes in that devastated country. However, timidity is not a general characteristic of the progres sive American people. Had timidity been the rule rather than the excep ion. America today would have still Ih‘ a howling wilderness, peopled with Indians and the habitation of wild animals. Lightning seldom strikes twice in the same place. Attorney General Brown has sprung a new sensation the past week in hav ing issued a temporary restraining order against the Nebraska Lumber Dealers' association, declaring said association to be a trust, etc. In an other column will lie found an inter view with Mr. A. K. Outhouse of the Keystone Lumber company, who is one of the directors of the association, in which Mr. Outhouse most em phatically denies each and every allegation of the attorney general. He claims that when the report was circulated that after the grain trust Mr. Brown would investigate the lumber dealers' association, with the idea that it also came under the head of a trust and combination affair, the secretary of the association called Mr. Brown into his office and gave him free access to all the books and papers of the association, and that everything was done to assist the attorney general in securing every know ledge of the association's affairs. Mr. Outhouse says the restraining order can have no effect upon the ullairs of the association as it does not come under the head of trusts nor combines, and insists tliat consumers are beneiited by the association, rather than wronged, as Mr. Brown .would have them beleive.

NOW AFTER THE LUMBERJ1EALERS Attorney General Calls Associ ation a Trust. A. B. OUTHOUSE DENIES IT claims Association Not Guilty ot Charges Named in Petition Last Wednesday, Judge Letton of the supreme court, acting upon a petition filed by Attorney General Brown, issued a temporary restrain ing order against the members of the Nebraska Lumber Ioealers' association to prevent them from combining to restrain trade or control prices and to prevent the officers from destrov ing any of the records of the associ ation. As one of the officers of the association, and one of the first in the list of lumber companies men tioned in the restraining order is Mr. A. B. Oouthouse of our own Kev stone Lumber company, a reporter of The Nobthwestekn called upon Mr. Outhouse and gained the following interview as his version of the action started by the attorney general against the association: "If Mr. Brown was sincere in want ing to see that the laws of the state are not violated by this association, he had ample opjiortunity to do so with out beginning this suit. The Sec retary of the Nebraska Lumber Dealers' Association, some time ago. requested the Attorney General to investigate the Constitution and By Laws of the Association. Also offered to show any and all of the corre spondence that passed between the Secretary' and its members. The object in giving out this information was to get his opinion. If they violated the law they were ready to dissolve. The allegation made in the petition is absurd, wherein it states that the Association attempts to say at what price lumber or building material shall be sold by its members. The Association lias never issued a price list or attempted, to name a selling price of building hiaterial. 1 realize that a great many people are of the opinion that associations made up of individuals engaged in the same business is intended tor a monopoly and other gross wrongs, some of which Mr. Brown has seen fit to charge up I to the Nebraska Lumber Dealers' Association. I think that the Dec laration of Purpose of the Nebraska Lumber Dealers’ Association as fol lows. will make it plain that there is no intention on the part of the Association to form a trust: 'The object of this Association is andsliall be to secure and disseminate to its members any and all ksga' and proper information which may be of interest or value to any member or members thereof in his or their busi ness as retail lumber dealers. No rule, regulations or by-laws shall be adopted in any manner stifling com petition. limiting production, restrain ing trade, regulating prices or pool ing profits. No co-ercive measures of any kind shall be practiced or adopt ed toward any retailer, either to in duce him to join the association, or to buy or refrain from buying from any particular manufacturer or wlmlesaler. Nor shall any discrimi natory practices on the part of this association be used or allowed against any retailer for the reason that he may not be a member of the associa tion or to induce or persuade him to become such member. No promises or agreements of any kind shall be requisite to membership in this association, nor shall any penalties be imposed upon its members for any cause whatsoever.' "If the temporary restraining order that has been issued by the Court becomes permanent, it will not affect the Association in the least, for the very good reason that the association is not guilty of the charges named in the petition. I certainly believe that the consumers of lumber are benefit ed by this association and not wronged as Mr. Brown would have them be leive,” Had It Been Your Baby? Intense excitement was raised in the west part of the county last Thursday by the report that a little 3-year-old boy named Moreford. living a few miles northeast of Mason, had wandered away from home and was lost. Searching parties were organ ized and all of Thursday night and Friday till the middle of the after noon scoured the prairies for miles around, when they at last found the little fellow asleep on a side hill safe and sound, yet having been out in a heavy rain all night and thinly clad. Fine Lecture Course At a greater axpense than ever before, the lecture course committee of the M. E. church have secnred an exceptionally fine program for the lecture course for this season. Slav ton’s Jubilee Singers: The Dunbar Male Quartette and Bell Singers: Pitt Parker: Humorous Cartoonist: Dr. John Merritte Driver of Chicago, lecturer, and Dr. Eugene May of Washington. I). C., lecturer, being tire talent selected by the committee. These entertainments will be a treat to all who listen to them and we feel confident that the class of entertain ments excels auything of the kind heretofore seen in Loup City. The Swede Hit It, The cyclone season lias no sooner begun than comes the following breezy story of a Kansas twister that struck the house of a Swedish settler. The house was picked up and carried a couple of miles with the owner inside. Finally, bruised, battered and utterly unconcious the unfortunate son of Scandianavia was deposited on the ground, whence he was taken to the hospital. The next day a preacher in his rounds to the wounded stopped at the Swede's bed to console him. After lie had heard the sensational story of the storm the minister said soothingly, “Che. the Lord certainly was with* you in your perilous jour ney through tlie air.” "Mebbe he vas" was Ole’s reply, “but if he vas. bay Yesses he vas going some." Looks Like Business. A party of railroad surveyors ar rived at Cairo Wednesday and will commence work on locating the line between this place and Loup City, the line striking the Loup bottom somewhere near Boelus. This survey has been completed from Sargent to Dunning, and it looks like the rail road company really intends to huild the extension from Sargent to Dunn ing and connect with the main line at Cairo. Should this be done our town will doubtless be considerably benefited thereby.—Cairo Record. Burlington Bulletin Of Round Trip Rates.
