Kd. and Pub. \n exchange accounts for the suc cess of Mrs. Gunness, the Indiana murderess, bv the simple fact that she had such' “killing ways.” The two senators from Oklahoma enlivened the senate at Washington last Thursday by engaging in a list tight. That's starting in well for the new state. “Found ills Money in a Dream” is a new song just out. Of course it was written by a newspaper man. They never tind any appreciable amount any other way._ Just as we predicted, and as every one else did the same. Orchard, the butcher of men. so famous in the big labor trials at Boise, will not hang. What a travisty on justice. The Elyrian is the name of a trade paper published at Elyria, Ohio, and while it is primarily a journal for telephone men, it also contains many items and articles of interest to the layman. We think the following taken from the current number is particularly pertinent: Don’t sit around and damn your town. A town is just as good or just as bad as the people who are damning it._ If the latest report regarding the proposed line of railroad that was to run from Loup City to Broken Bow be true, it is not likely that it will be built for some time yet. The only company that has even con sidered the proposition of loaning monev on the bonds, must tirst have an assuritv that the Union Pacific will lease the road at a rate, sufficient to pay the interest on the bonds. As Use Union Pacific people seem to appeal very strong against this idea, it is not likely that it will be built soon.—Arcadia Champion. Decoration Day Notice. At the request of those having in charge the proper observance of Decoration Day, all persons are here by notified that the following statute 1 is' id force in this state, to-wit: Any person or persons who shall on ! the 30th day of May, commonly known 1 as Decoration Day, engage in horse ! racing, ball playing, or in any game of sport which may tend fto disturb , the public peace oh the 30th day of | May, shall be deemed guilty of a mis I demeanor, and shall be punished by a tine not exceeding One Hundred I Dollars, or by imprisonment for more ! than thirty days, or both, in the dis ' cretion of the court. --- i The general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church in ses sion at Baltimore last week, tried to change the title of “presiding elder” to that of “district superintendent.” The presiding eldership in the Metho dist church stadds in the same rela tion to the parent body as would the fifth wheel to a wagon—a useless ap pendage. and we have always contend ed the office should be abolished and the perquisites attached to it to go to increase the salaries of the regular pastors. And in this belief are a large complement of the Methodist ministry. It is surprising how many people each week can tell you what they seen in their county paper and at the same time are not subscribers. They are a class who are generally too stingy to take a home paper but they sponge their reading off of other people and annoy them by everlasting coming to borrow. The names of some “of these people might make good reading some day when they are put in print. If vou are able and don't like the paper, don’t sponge vour reading, but refrain from steal ing what other people pay for and is not yours. Judge Hostetler will about the first of June take his family fora jaunt to the Pacific Coast, going out by one of the northern routes to the cities of Washington, thence down the coast to Portland. Frisco. Los Angeles and San Diego, and thence home by way of Salt Lake City. They will be ' absent perhaps sixty days. The state school apportionment for Sherman county this year is *2,704.42.

The class play, “Sweet Lavender,” given at the opera house on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of this week by the graduating class and some aid from classes of other years, was a happy surprise to the large audiences which greeted them both evenings. Loup City lias splendid talent among its voung people and the play spoken of only gave further convincing evi dence of that fact, and our people have just reason for being proud of them and our schools. It would be an injustice to speak of any one and not of every one in the cast and we are only acting as mouthpiece of our people as a whole when we affirm that all, without exception carried his or her part in a most pleasing and satisfactory manner. One of the best parts of the evening was the music by an orchestra composed of the Messrs. Jeffords, Janulewicz, Young and Miss Nellie Jeffords, and made everyone wish it were a permanent fixture for all coming entertainments in our city. Uncle I>an Tucker was down from Washington township on Monday and informed us W. J. Bryan would be elected president this fall. Uncle Dan savs lie is still voting for Jackson but will this "fall substitute Bryan's name. The Chautauqua An Educator. Kext to the public school the modern Chautauqua is perhaps the most potent factor in the country today for advancing popular educa tion. A remarkable fact concerning the wide and effective influence of the Chautauqua is shown by the statement of Dr. Gunsaulus of the Armour Institute of Chicago, when he said that eighty-five per cent of the sophomore class attributed their awakening aud subsequent registra tion to the Chautauquas in their neighborhoods. The Chautauqua i6 is popularly called a cross between a campmeeting and a county fair. It possesses many of the best elements of both. Mo one who wishes to fairly describe the forces which are mould ing American life today can omit it as a leading factor. The movement the Chautauqua represents is a mighty force in the social, political intellectual and moral forces of the hour and any community able to support an institution of this kind should not be without one. Harry Thaw is in the limelight again. He is now up before the legal luminaries trying to get free from the insane asylum. A Federal district judge in New York sustains the right of the presi dent to discharge a soldier. REDUCTION SALS!
