LINCOLN IN LOUP CITY
What Her Representative Paper
Thinks ©1 the Queen City
of Loup Valley.
Frank E. 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
