Where are Bryan's 333 electoral votes Mack said he would get? Well, Colorado did go for Bryan after all. And Nevada followed suit. Cummins wins out in Iowa for the senatorship, snowing Lacey under a big drift. Indiana and Minnesota went for Taft all right, but elected democratic governors. Cowboy Jim Dahlman says county option is down and out for at least two years in Nebraska. Bodinson is elected in this senatorial district, having a majority of 224 in Buffalo and 28 in Sherman. The socialist vote in the late elec tion will not exceed 500,000. They expected at least 1,7000,000. Mortensen for representative and Kinsey for senator were defeated in Valley county. Everything went democratic but county attorney. Politics make strange bedfellows. Just think of the brewers, and anti saloon league headed by Elmer Thomas of Omaha working in cahoots for Shallenberger. Already enthusiastic followers of the Peerless have gotten out buttons with Bryan pictures with the figures 1912 underneath. Of course; what else was expected. Hinshaw wins in the Fourth, Nor ris in the Fifth and Kinkaid in the Sixth, while Pollard in the First, Jef fries in the Second and Boyd in the Third Congressional districts are sure defeated, dividing the delegation 3 and 3 in the two great parties. George H. Gibson, Loup City: “I be lieve the state ticket will carry here along with the national ticket and that the county ticket as well will come out ahead in Sherman county. This has been a pop stronghold. We are having a hard fight but we ex pect to win.”—State Journal, Oct. 29. Times Changes Hands On Monday of this week, E. A. Brown sold his Times-Independent to C. F. Beushausen, our county clerk, i the same to take effect on the first day of next January. Bro. Brown has contemplated selling his paper j for some time, and his election as representative has hurried matters as ; he wished to be free from editorial duties by the time he took his seat in the lower house the first of the year. Like many another enterpris- j ing young man, Mr. Beushausen has had an itching for some time to try editorial work and this was found to be his opportunity. The North western will miss Bro. Brown from the field of journalism, as the rela tions have been very pleasant, but we shall warmly welcome his suc cessor and wish him a goodly share of success in his new field of labor. Kinkaid wins out in this district by about 450. Missouri has gone for Taft and elected a republican governor Frank Taylor won out for county attorney of Howard county by a majority of 508. Howard county went democratic this year by increased majorities. Cooley was republican prophet there. Sherman county went to the demo crats with a rush. Gibson was the ? ? ? prophet here. Pete Hepburn was defeated for con gress in Iowa. We should judge from our Iowa exchanges from that dis trict that Pete owes his defeat to too good a stand-in with the railroads. It didn’t pay in Iowa, eyen if it did in Nebraska. Just before the election, a Loup City man was over in Elm township and asked how the republicans were going to vote on a certain county office. Being told, he asked why? The answer came promptly, “We do not want to encourage laziness.” In writing the editor from Garrison, Dr. Long suggests that the geo graphical situation should be changed so that Nebraska would be bounded by Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas, and be within the bounds of the Southern Confederacy proper. The republicans win on at least three state officers, Thompson for at torney general, Brian for treasurer and Barton for auditor, while Junkin for secretary of state has a good fight ing chance. It seems, however, that democracy has captured the land commissioner and school superintend ent plums, along with governor, lieu tenant governor and both legislative branches.

Representative Brown a few days since received a telegram from Gov.

We understand the governor has sent telegrams to all legislators to that effect. J. W. Harper, formerly of the St. Elmo hotel, now has charge of the Hila Grand hotel at Alliance. ELMER LEWIS KILLED Run Over by Switch Engine at Ravenna Our people were horrified last Sun day by the report that Elmer E. Lewis, traveling man for the Ravenna Creamery Company, had met ac cidental death under the wheels of a switch engine at Ravenna the even ing previous just as he jumped from a freight train near his home, the engine running over his body cutting him in pieces. The circumstances of Ills death will probably never be known. As near as can be ascertained he was homeward bound from his trip out for the company, when in order to save a walk of several blocks, he jumped from the train near his home, and in front of a switch engine not noticing the approach of the same. When the body was picked up it was found that the engine had run over the upper part of the breast, over one arm near the shoulder and cut off one leg, and death must have been instantaneous. The funeral was held at the home Tuesday afternoon of this week, quite a delegation of friends from Loup City and members of the Odd Fellows lodge here of which he was a member, going over to attend the last sad rites. Mr. Lewis was most well and favorably known here, a point he makes nearly every week, in the interests of the creamery company. He was in Loup City Friday night and leaving for other points on the morning of the day he was killed, and was in his jolliest spirits, meeting and exchang ing compliments with his host of friends here, and Elmer had seeming ly no enemies. He was a man of the best habits, neither drank, smoked nor used spirits or tobacco in any form, and was a model man in all respects. His death will be taken as a personal loss by all with whom he was acquainted, for no finer nor more genial man ever came to our city. The Northwestern feels deepest sor row in his untimely death and grieves with the wife and children of the home made desolate by his untimely and terrible end. Y. M. A. A. Notes By watching the young men of the town very closely, it has been found that there are a good many who actually want something for nothing. This is shown by the fact that every one has taken an interest in the gym nasium until time came for another payment of dues. The Association has never lacked financial support be cause the majority of the business men subscribed a dollar a month, but we have decided that it is a waste of time and money to run this any longer when the young men do not appreciate it. From now until the 25th of this month the property, mostly gymnasium appliances, will be offered for sale at the gymnasium. These articles you can buy below cost as we bought them at wholesale and will sell them at less than they cost us. We have a single trapeze, 3 pair of rings, 1 Whitly exerciser, 4 pair of iron dumb bells, 1 pair each of 1, 2 and 3 pound maple Indian clubs, set boxing gloves, 1 pair basket ball goals, punching bag platform, and a lot of lumber, also several dozen bath towels which will sell at sixty cents a dozen and a few small articles. The money received by the sale will be returned to the business men interested pro viding there is a sufficient sum left after paying a few expenses for November. Books loaned to the library will be returned to the owners unless we are notified that you do ' not want them, in which case they will be given to some church or club library. Come in and see the prices on these articles even if you do not 1 care to buy. Secretary. School Debate The second in the series of school ; debates to select a team to represent our school in the inter-school debat- , ing league will be held Friday even- ] ing at ohe opera house at 7:30 p. m. ] It is a most worthy part of the school work and should be encouraged by ] the presence of a large number of the , friends of the school. Come and show the young people that you are in terested in their success. All are cordially invited. A small admission j of 10 cents will be charged to pay the j hall rent. , 3 on 62, Ashley Conger, the dray- 1 man.

Howard, age 21, had been accidently killed near Lexing ton, this state. The young man had been staying with an elder brother, near Lexington, helping during corn picking. The body of the unfortunate young man was found lying in the road with his head crushed, but as there was no witnesses to the accident it is not definitely known how it oc curred. It is believed however, that that the team became unmanageable and ran away, throwing the driver out in such manner that the wheels passed over his head. The Margritz family have been singularly afflicted, this being the second son the family has lost by accidental death. In 1890 while the family resided in Dodge county, this state, a seventeen year old son fell from the top of a wind mill tower and was killed, which makes the present loss doubly hard to bear. Howard Margritz was an up right and Christian young man. He united with the Presbyterian church at Fremont, when fifteen years of age, and at the time of his death was a member of the Congregational church in Ravenna. Mr. and Mrs. Margritz have the deepest sympathy of their friends and neighbors in Ravenna and vicinity in their terrible affliction. The body was brought to Ravenna and the funeral was held at the Con gregational church Thursday after noon. at two o'clock, after which the remains were taken to Fremont for interment.—Ravenna News. Grandma Sperling Dead Mrs. Mary Sperling died at her home near Ashton, Oct. 22, 1908, at the age of 73 years, 10 months and 21 days. She was born Nov. 30, 1835, in East Prussia, Germany, where she was married to August Sperling on March 25, 1858. To this union six children were born, three boys and three girls, one of whom passed away long years ago. In 1873 they came to America and in 1878 to Nebraska and settled on a homestead in Sherman county, where her husband died in 1883. She leaves five children and twenty-six grandchildren, also a sister, Mrs. Ernestine Dold. to mourn her loss. The remains were buried in the German Lutheran church yard at Ashton, Rev. Gundlak preaching the sermon. CARD OF THANKS: We desire to thank our friends and neighbors for their kindness to lend a helping hand to lay our dear mother at rest. Mrs. Bertha Polenz. Mrs. Emilie Blumer, Herman Sperling, Emil Sperling, Albert Sperling.
