Edgerton, who accom. panied the Lincoln Tradesmen’s Excursion on its visit'to this city, as the representative of the Lincoln Daily Star, reported as follows to the Star: neur., iuay 6v.— ±iie cordiality of the greeting accorded the Lincoln men in this thriving little city has not been exceeded anywhere along the line. From the minute the train arrived Wednesday night until it pulled out reluctantly yesterday morning, the citizens of Loup City made their hospitality felt in a hun dred ways. They left nothing undone that good fellowship could propose or friendship could express. But Loup City was not only ready to entertain Lincoln business men and show them a good time, but the business men of the Sherman county capital were willing and anxious to talk business. In their well stocked stores were Numerous brands bearing a Lincoln label and they assured the visitors that the amount of Lincoln goods handled in the future would be greatly increased. Many excellent orders were booked and many more will be forthcoming. The good feel ing engendered in this visit to Loup City alone has paid for the entire trip. When the train pulled into Loup City last*iight, fully 300 citizens were present as a reception committee. W. R. Mellor was there to greet his friends from the capital city and E. A. Brown, editor of the Times and memlter of the legislature, met many old and new friends. J.. W. Burleigh of the Northwestern, a former official of the legislature, also met many former acquaintances. Mayor* Peterson in troduced President A. P. Culley of the First National bank, who deliver ed an address of welcome, which had a response from T. P. Kennard. Then the parade was organized and visitors and citizens marched up to the hotel where a splendid supper was served. Oysters, chicken, light biscuits, cake, strawberries, fresh vegetables and other tempting eatables were placed before the Lincoln men in great pro fusion. Consumers, Not Producers. I think these are the Lincoln con sumers rather than the Lincoln pro ducers,” declared Editor Israel of the Country Merchant, after he had eaten his share. w hen the Lincoln men otiered their money to the landlord of the hotel he assured them there was nothing com ing. Both supper and breakfast had been paid for by the liberal business men of tht town. Lincoln money was no good in Loup City. Thursday morning a number of vis itors were escorted to the hills back of the town by J. S. Pedler, W. R. Mellor and John W. Long to take a look up and down the beautiful valley of the middle Loup. The sun was just breaking through the thin c';ouds in the east, casting sunshine and shadow over the quiet town and ver dant valley. Mists rose from the shallow Loup almost obscuring the sleeping hills far across the valley. It was a beautiful view, one worth com ing miles to see. Loup City has two banks that have deposits aggregating *300,000. Eight years ago the one bank located here had deposits to the amount of $16,000. Loup City has at least two stores with stocks of goods mi large as any in the state. Draper Bros, have an enormous stock of harness, purchased in Lincoln and Des Moines. The Hay hurst-Call away Hardware company has a great double store for harness and hardware while implements are kept across the street. Tiiis company buys thousands of dollars worth of goods in Lincoln. Editors Brown of the Times and Burleigh of the Northwestern have well equipped offices and they live in peace with each other. They were remembering today that twenty years ago yesterday, Editor B. L. Richard son of the Northwestern shot and killed Editor O. B. Willard of the Tiipes op thp streets of the village. J. S. Pedjef, bapker, was sheriff at the time and tpok Richardson ip Charge, The murderer was accqqitted on the allegation pf self-defense. The Lincoln men could hardly break away frpm Loup City yesterday morn big- Conductor Breedlove was m* ious to leave on time and he had to threaton to pull out with 9ome.e*cur sionLsts still in town in order to get t Item started. Moat of the band ijoys and J. A. Manning had to “hot fimt** it in order to caufe the train. The Coming Lecture Course The Lyceum Course Committee foi ’07-08 representing the Protestant churches, have arranged one of the most attractive courses we have beer able to secure. More expensive that heretofore, and the talent is fur nished by Slayton Lyceum Bureau the same as last season. The enter tainments consist largely of musical numbers, all entertainers of national repute; in addition we have Gillmann, the great humorist of Baltimore, ir his most noted lecture, “A Sample Case of .Humor,” and The Floyds Magicians and Illusionists, presenting the really wonderful in magic. Even one should buy season tickets. The following soliciting committees were appointed to sell tickets for the Lecture Course Entertainment*: Baptist church—A. E. Chase, Mrs Dr. Main and Mrs. S. N. Criss. Presbyterian church—Mrs. C. C Cooper, Miss Beth Zimmermap anc Ward Yer Valin. Methodist church—Mrs. J. P. Lein inger, Mrs. A. B. Outhouse and Jas I. Depew. The public should patronize these entertainments as they are the best that can be had. Committee. Jenner’s Park Opening June 11 As will be noticed from bills gotten out at this office, it will be seen that Jenner's Park will give it's opening day of the present season next week Tuesday, June 11th, with a grand picnic and dance afternoon and night. Loup City’s splendid cornet band will give the music for the occasion and will also furnish the music for the dance afternoon and evening, which insures entrancing music for the day and night. Let our good people make this a big day for the park. Jenner's Park is one of the nicest little re treats from the business cares of the day, tfith good shade, pure water and everything necessary to insure a most delightful time. Take jour family to the park on that day and let the children have the time of their life. Lovers - of the dance by all means * should not miss the afternoon and evening. All sorts of games and sports will also be given, and the fact that Stewart Qonger has charge of refreshments and manages the pavilion is a guarantee of best of order and delicious ice-cream, etc. Gun Club Shoot. Loup City’s Gun Club is getting action on itself and the numerous shoots now being indulged in gives evidence that we have a number of good shots among them. At one of the shoots last week the following score attests the above. Out of a possible fifty blue rrcks, the result gave: P. O. Reed 27 out of 41 shots, he running out of shells at that time; W. F. Mason 35, Henry Eisner 43, M. L. Miller 7, F. Hauck 33, Dr. Allen 36, C. Johansen 45 and B. Swanson Jl. And this is the score of one of their first shoots. We are promised the full score in detail of the next shoot. If the murderer of Copple and wife wants to get clear, he will see to it that he gets his trial in Omaha in stead of at Pender. Omaha seems to be the Mecca for all classes of des perate criminals. See chapters in the history of Tom Dennison and Pat Crowe for particulars, or address the Omaha Evening News. The management are actively en gaged in improvements which when completed will mark an advanced step in the history of the Nebraska State Fair. A number of men and teams are now employed in the building of a complete sewer system, extending a 4-inch water main a distance of 1,700 feet around to the new speed barn, and filling in the low land west of Administration building, so that will be a part of the very best land in the tract. The dirt for this fill is secured north of the Rock Island track. The plans and specifications for the new cattle barn to be built this year shows a barn 174x257 feet, with stall room for 032 head of cattle, sanitary closets for Ladies and Gentlemen and a Superintendent’s office. The ar rangement will be so that a person coming into the building at any of its numerous doors can see over the backs of all the cattle at a glance. Linen Gowns Now the Yogne. “There are so many different stvles in the linen gowns this summer that this fact may be regarded as an im portant new feature of the season’s modes,” writes Grace Margaret Gould in Woman’s Home Companion in June ‘.‘There are linen gowns suitable for almost every occasion, and some of them, with their combinations of Irish lace and artistic embroideries, are quite as elaborate as the silk frocks. The linen frock with the jumper waist having the large armhole, and the skirt with fan plaits, is a very Charming model, and will look well iqade up in any of the fancy linens. A scalloped edge finishes both the opening of the waist and the skirt Which is in the front.. “Many of the most {fashionable of the hot-weather gowns are made of linen in dark shades, A dark blue linen is used for the gown, which has the waist band-trimmed and made with a vef t, and the ski.ro plaited and cut in seven gores. Lawn tucking in white or pale tan is used for the vest and the cuffs. The linen bands which trim the gown mi " 1 TO CALIFORNIA AND RETURN This is your oppor portunity to make the trip to San Fran cisco and Los Ange les at this remarka bly low rate.
