Ex-Governor Lorenzo Crounse died at Ins home in Omaha last Thursday night, a full account of which appears in another column, lie was one of the most famous of all Nebraskans. Petitions are being circulated here for the nomination of Judge Hamer for the supreme bench. From the present outlook, under the new law, candidates for that honor will be numerous before election time. The bank at Cairo was blown up on Tuesday night and $6,000 to $8,000 se cured. A bond election had been car ried that day and a big pyrotechnic display resulted. When the citizens heard the boom of the safe blowers in the night they merely thought it was the noise made by beiated revelers, nor found to the contrary till morning No trace of the robbers.' The greatest game in the history of the Western League was played iii Lincoln on Thursday of last week, between Lincoln and Pueblo. Swift, the big left hander, pitched for Pueblo, and Jones, the little Lincoln spit-ball artist, twirled for Lincoln. For sixteen long innings net a run was made, in the seventeenth in ning Pueblo made two runs and Lin coln one, and the contest was over. Candidates are getting busy. Coun ty SuperintendentHendrickson will soon have his petition in circulation for re-nomination under the new law. Pete Rowe says he is a candidate for county judge, and pities the poor fellows who come out against him for that office. Sheriff Williams, it is understood, will be a candidate for re-election to that office, which he lias so ably tilled the past three terms. Of course, it is understood that per ennial candidate, Bill Fisher, will come out this year for some office, but we have not heard just which. We have not heard so far who will make the try for the offices of coun ty clerk and treasurer, but it is a little early yet. That Mooted Debate. In the matter of an article which appeared in the Ravenna News of the 14th instant, in regard to the high school debate between Ravenna and Loup City, entitled, “May Be Dis gruntled." while we no longer desire to carry on a public discussion as to what lias been had and done in this matter, yet if we permit this article to go unnoticed it would leave us entirely misunderstood as to our object in printing it and suffer ah in justice. The editor of the Ravenna News has made a very common mis take. making it appear that Loup City being the loser and their loyalty and pride in their schools being' well understood, the article in our issue of two weeks ago was the result of the sting of defeat. All this was con sidered before the article was written but as a matter of right and fairness in defense of a victory fairly won by the Loup City debaters and a deci sion denied them by the judges, this paper thought it advisable to incur just such criticism as the News has seen tit to impose upon it, in order that those not present would be cor rectly informed. The editor of the Ravenna News has said much when he said that he w as not present and did not hear the debate. Our know ledge of the editor leads us to believe had he been present and heard the debate, his article would never have been written. His statement in re >rard to the superintendent, of the Loup City schools coaching his debat ers is entirely untrue. The facts of the matter are. the Ravenna debaters indulged in several personal and sar castic remarks, and the presiding officer of this debate, who was a resi dent- of Loup City and connected with the school board, wishing to avoid any matters of this nature, in structed our superintendent to re quest his pupils in the debat,e to pay no attention to these remarks and to treat the Ravenna debaters with all kindness and courtesy, which our superintendent did, arid that is all the part he took in the debate. Further, the article in question very pointedly implies that the superin tendent of our schools was also the author of the article he is answering. If there is any suspicion in the mind of said editoron that point, lie should disabuse himself of it instanter, as that gentleman had nothing to do with it. The Northwestern in its article meant to cast no reflection upon the intelligence and integrity of the judges, excepting their ability to judge a debate, which certainly was open to discussion and criticism. Loup City, while not wishing to detract from or belittle the ability of the Ravenna debaters or cause any discord between the schools represent ed, does feel that the decision was an error and the Loup Citv debaters were justly entitled to a decision in their favor: that the judges may have been fair-minded and learned men. but were certainly unskilled and in experienced in the matter of debating and were not guided by anv fixed rules or standards by which to arrive at their decision. It is safe to pre dict that within a very short time there will be material changes along the line of judging, and the, method and means by which they shall judge. With this view in mind ancl a view to doing justice to the contestants in the debate in question our article was written and published. Along R. R. No. 1. J. A. Arnett and sons are going to shell E. G. Taylor's corn at Schaupps this week. Will Henderson and i rank Foss will help them. Mrs. Bertha Shipley is very sick this week, suffering from stomach trouble. Joe Blaschke and Chas.

He is always tearing up the road some where locating corners, especially on Route No. 1. A. C. Buckley, at Milo Gilbert’s on Route 1, has been attending several socials the past week. It takes a good one to out-bid him when he is after pies. Did you attend the Baptist pie social at W. O. Brown’s last Friday evening? If not, you missed a tine time. Supt. Hendrickson was the auctioneer and some of the prices he got were out of sight. Rol is a professional at tills business, and if he can’t sell the pie lie will then buy it himself.

Kurts incubator caught lire Thursday evening and burnt up, which is quite a loss, as she always raises thoroughbred chick ens, and at this time of the year it is always kept busy. A good rain covered all the route last Thursday evening, excepting southwest of Chas. Snyder’s where a light shower fell. No" hail fell on Wiggle Creek, but a heavy hail fell all along the divide. For six miles west of Loup City there was plenty of hail the next morning. Some listed corn was badly washed, also fall plowing. Clarence Burt had a colt badly cut in the wire fence during the rain and hail of Thursday eve. During the rain storm of Thursday evening. E. J. Pugsley’s house was struck by lightning and set on fire and one of his little children severely shocked, from which it did not re cover till 12 o’clock. Mr. Pugsley and hired man were at the barn doing the chores and did not know the house had been struck until Mrs. Pugsley went to the barn and told him. ft took only a short time to put out the tire. Miss Mabel Slawson closed her second successful term of school on Wiggle Creek last Thursday with a program, picnic dinner and ball game. Miss Mabel has proved herself to be a very efficient teacher and has won many warm friends during her stay here, who hope she will be with them again next term. Two large tables were set the length of the school room and filled with the good things only Wiggle Creek housewives can prepare, and to which a large crowd did ample justice. The big boys of Verdurette played the Wiggle Creek school boys, the score being 13 to 14 in favor of Verdurette, after which a short program was rendered and all departed for their homes. Patrons on Route No. 2 were laving in their supplies at Loup City Satur day. This is a busy time for the farmer and he is all business when in town. A.

John Olson on Wiggle Creek sold a team of horses to the Standard Bridge Company for $o50, this week. They were hard to beat, too. Bird Draper drove Route No. 1 Tuesday. The road grader for Webster town ship arrived this week. They have bought one of the best tools that a township could own, and it is an extra heavy one, so that it could be hauled by an engine or with horses. Mr. and Mrs. Gust Young] und gave a party last Saturday evening, some forty-five people being present. All report a fine time. Mrs. Sam Foss and daughter, Wilma were trading at Loup City Tuesday. All travel on the west side of the river had to go by the west bridge the first of the week while the south bridge was undergoing repairs. The Standard Bridge Co. doing the work.

WHAT THE FIRST BUYER SAYS. “I think it is the very heat proposition I have seen anywhere in the West, and I have been ail over the Ft. Collins and Greeley district." WHAT ANOTHER BUYER SAYS. £ “There is no question but that there is a great future for the Scotts Bluff country. I wouldn’t have bought if I hadn’t thought it was all right.” The first excursion to the famous Scotts Bluff ir rigated lands has returned. Every member of the party is enthusiastic concerning the country, only four returning without buying, ana these may buy later. The following statement of sales speaks for itself. 1840 acres were sold in the two days the party was there, for a total consideration of $138,200.00. No one bought over 160 acres. Most of the sales were 80 acres, with one or two of 40 acres. The men who bought this land are not specula tors but farmers, every one of them. The; are from Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa and few of them had seen irrigated land before. But they know good land when they see it and they re alize that here is a great opportunity to secure NEXT EXCURSION TUESDAY. JUNE.I ’09 can take only a limited number on each trie, so if you want to join us on our next excursion, let us know at once so reservation can be made. Speculators not wanted. This land is for farmers. We want men who are looking for homes; men who will improve the land and either live on it or rent it. v_ We are offering the best irrigated land in Ne braska. Men who know say it equals and surpasses the land in the famous Greeley and Ft. Collins districts in Colorado, and the price is only a third to a half. splendid land at a low price. These satisfied buyers are proof positive that the Scotts Bluff country is the coming farming district of Nebraska. You can’t afford to miss this great opportunity to buy a farm while land is still cheap. Why pay rent when the amount you pay your landlord yearly will pay for a farm that will make you rich in a few years? Don’t delay; late comers get poorest pickings. We It is under one of the best, largest and most sub stantial irrigation ditches in the United States. Ex perts declare there is absolutely no danger of there ever being a shortage of wafer' in the Scotts Bluff country. At the price we are offering this land and the ex ceptionally easy terms (only a filth cash, balance one to ".en years), it’s the chance of a lifetime.
