Practical Auctioneer
Loup City, Nebr.
Farm Sales a Specialty!
To the Public—I wish to announce
that I am a practical auctioneer of
6 years’ experience. My field of work
has been Kalona and Washington
county, Iowa. I have come to Loup
City to locate and make it my future
home and desire a share of your
patronage in that line. My exper
ience as an auctioneer has been large
and I guarantee satisfaction. My
charges will be right. I would refer
you to the Farmers’ Savings Bank or
State Bank of Kalona, Iowa as to my
character and standing. Dates made
at either bank or newspaper office in
Loup City. Clark Kauffman.

The public drinking fountain so
long and faithfully worked for by the
ladies of the Unity Club arrived via
the B. & M. Monday, and is not only
a very welcome adjunct to our city,
but is a thing of beauty and will
prove a joy forever, we have no doubt.
The question with the ladies now is,
“Where shall it be placed,” and the
debate is now on. Where do you say?
While playing with a pet dog, last
j Thursday, a !>-year-old son of Rudolph
j Johns had his right wrist badly lac
eeated by the dog, tearing the tendons
loose and giving the boy a bad wound.
Dr. Long attended the sufferer and
hopes are entertained of no serious
results. This should be a sufficient
warning to owners of the thousand
and one worthless curs infesting this
community. Better take drastic
measures to save your children from
bad results by killing the pests.
Workmen are engaged on the ex
cavation of the new brick building to
be erected by A. P. Culley adjoining
his bank building on the west. The
foundation will be 2tix50 feet, but
whether the building will be one or
two stories has as yet not been deter
mined. The lower story will be
occupied by W. T. Owens for the post
office, and if the building is made two
stories we understand the upperstory
will be for a hall. The result will be
determined by Mr. Culley in a few
days. Olilsen Bros, have the contract.
The band boys' ball in Hayhurst’s
new building last Friday evening was
the big event of the season so far.
The great room was cleared, bril
liantly liglitee and filled with the
largest and happiest crowd ever gath
ered on a like occasion in our city,
who tripped the light fantastic and
had a most joyous time till into the
small hours of the morning. Most
felicitous speeches were made in the
evening by Judge Wall, J. W. Long
and R. P. Starr, congratulatory of
Mr. Hayliurst on his magnificent
building, his enterprise and faith in
Loup City. The proceeds were to
provide uniforms for the band boys
and the neat sum of $93 was realized
toward this end, after all expenses
were paid.
FLEXIBLE
IMffl'iaiflilDll
HITCH youp hopses
AS you waht Them
Here’s something new, something modern and something you will like
when you see it. It is a new method of hitching two, three or four horses
to the Litchfield Spreader.
Requirements vary so much at different seasons and under different
conditions of ground and material that a very flexible method of hitching
anywhere from two to four horses, usually not more than three, becomes
one of the most important features of a Manure Spreader. The Litchfield
Mfg. Co. have recently brought out their side-pole hitch and it is proving a
wonderful winner. This enables you to put three horses squarely in front
of the machine: the center horse traveling exactly in the center, witli
absolutely perfect equalization between the three' It would be just as
practical to hitch on to the northwest corner of the state of Iowa and pull
It square north without twisting as it is to hitch three horses to the corner
of a manure spreader without side draft.
Many devices an4 contrivances, SQtqe of them reminding us of Jeremiah
Tliornbuckle’s Model of a Perpetqal Mqtion Machine, Jiave been invented to
overcome this side draft ana to prevent tine twisting of fch'6 tongue and
other annoyances and bad effects that arise from hitching three horsed tfl
one side of the machine. The Litchfield Spreader has been no exception in
the general hustle for some sort of a “three horse hitch” that would do
away with side daaft and while the Company have been giving their trade
as satisfactory a hith as there was on the market, they still have not been
satisfied with it themselves.
With this new adjustable pole which is instantly removable from center
to side position, the horses all pull straight ahead and the equalization be
tween them is, both in theory and practice, absolutely perfect. You have
the same advantage in distributing on corn ground that you do with a pair
of shaffs. You can drive a three horse team through a narrow gate. You
can turn, back, swing or manipulate the team and machine just as perfectly
with the three horses as you cau with two.
Come and let us show you this latest improvoment. Also read this
space next week for our statement on repairs.

Sunday School Convention.
There will be held in Loup City, on
the 13 and 14th days of October, 1906,
a Sunday-Scliool convention, and we
hope to make the convention one of
the best ever held in the county.
This can be done if all will put forth
a little effort and do their part. We
wish in the first place a full and
complete report from each school,
giving the attendance, number of
classes, teachers, officers, name of
superintendent, secretary and in fact
everything of interest in regard to
the school. Don’t be afraid you will
make your report too long, for as a
general thing the reports are so short
that we do not get enough to make
a full report to the state convention.
We also want delegates from every
school in the county and we want to
hear from those delegates after they
get here. We want earnest, active
workers from every school to be pres
ent and help in making this con
vention the very best ever held in the
county. We are all proud of the
record made at the state fair, why
not make the record of this conven
tion one to be proud of? Full pro
grams will be published and sent out
next week. Preparations will be made
here for the accomodation of all
delegates, so come and help make the
occasion a pleasant and instructive
ope. J. A. Angikr, President.
Failure, But Whose Fault?
The Woodman picnic in this city
Tuesday proved not a very extensive
affair, owing to the mismanagement
of it by it's clerk and lack of proper
advertising. The day was ideal, but
very few members of the order at
tended from a distance, while a large
per cent of the local members knew
very little in regard to the occasion,
save what appeared on the bills
gotten out by the clerk, which gave
scanty information. The local papers
would have been pleased to have ad
vertised the day gratuitously, their
editors being members of the order,
but the clerk preferred to be the
whole cheese himself, so to speak,
and failed to advise the papers in any
way about it. A small procession
was formed near the elevators, and
headed by the band marched around
the principal streets and to Jenner’s
Park, where family basket dinners
were had, after which some speaker
gave an address in the pavillion, fol
lowed by sweet songs by Misses Beth
Zimmerman and Amy Draper, then a
return to the city, where a few sport
ing events, such as running and rope
pulling were had, and drills between
the Woodmen teams of Ashton and
Loup City, and then a recess was
taken till evening when a class of
thirteen, we understand, was initiate
ed into the order. All in all, it was
a very tame affair, and but for the
untiring efforts of R. D. Hendrickson,
(who himself informed us he knew
nothing about it till he saw his name
on tli% bills as President) aided by
the efficient work of Peter Rowe and
Henry Wilson, the day would have
been an almost total failure. As it
was, the occasion has been a very
humiliating one for the membership
of one of the greatest as well as one
of the best fraternal organizations
ever in existence.
