The Times last week brought out
ex-Representative E. H. Kittell of
Rockville as the coming candidate of

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.
