One-half an inch of rain visited Loup City last Sunday morning, two and one-half inches Monday afternoon and evening and one-half an inch Tuesday—and still it rains. The Lincoln baseball team is es tablishing a record for long games. Within eight days the team has played a seventeen inning game with Pueblo, a sixteen inning game with Denver and a fourteen inning game with Topeka. This kind of ball has excited the patrons of the eame in the capital city to a marked degree and the attendance has been big all the time. A total eclipse of the sun is sched uled to occur on Thursday, June 17, visible in all portions of the United States except in the extreme south ern. The eclipse will begin at about 6:10 in the evening and will continue until after sunset. At the time of the disappearance of Old Sol the moon will obscure about one-half of his area. The eclipse predicted for June 17 is to be total and will be a reproduction of the one in 1869, which will be remembered by many. The supreme court of the United States on Monday of this week decid ed the case of the Adams Express company versus the Commonwealth of Kentucky, involving the right of the express* company to ship liquor into a local option county contrary to the law of the state, in* favor of the company. The opinion reversed the verdict of the Hart county court on the ground that the transaction was interstate commerce and therefore not subject to interference by the Kentucky authorities. Here is one on a Tecumseh father that appeared in Speaker Pool’s Trib unal: A little son of the household had just said his prayers and kissed everybody good-night except the new hired girl. ‘‘Aren’t you going to kiss me good-night?” asked the domestic. “Nope,” replied the young hopeful. “I saw papa try to kiss you this morning and I don’t want you to slap me like you slapped him.” And the young hopeful's mother is wondering if she cannot do the work from now on and save the expense of hired help. This section was visited on Monday afternoon of this week with one of the biggest rains in years. From the east and southeast portions of the county it reached tlieflimensions of a Hood. About four miles south of Loup City the country was Hooded for miles, the water coming, down on the flats from the hills in such an avalanche that some 1800 feet of the U. P. tracks was washed out. and caught the motor at that point, the track washing out on either side, where it had to remain till Tuesday morning before the passengers could be taken therefrom and brought to this city in livery rigs. Phone mes sages reached here of the situation of the motor and its passengers Monday evening, but when the teams attempt ed to rescue the flood sufferers it was found impossible to get anywhere near them and had to return to town and wait till morning and the waters had subsided. Even then the waters were so high it was with the utmost difficulty they could be reached. To give some idea of the extent of the rain, Judge Wall says the waters poured in a torrent down the slope from Herman Johansen's place and rushed across his farm south of town the waves being at least three feet high. In a draw near Herman Johan sen’s place, he claimed the water was at least 25 feet deep at one time, the railroad embankment backing the water up, the culverts not being able to let only a minimum amount of the water out. Some of the fields south east of town are washed smooth as a floor and many a corn field will have to be re-planted entirely. More or less hail accompanied the rain doing much damage in various places.* Al together, as far as can be ascertained it was one of the heaviest rainstorms known in this county for a great number of years.

The class play given by the graduates of our high school Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of this week was one of the most unique, enter tainments ever given in our city. The play was a burlesque or travesty on “The Merchant of Venice,” and while it partook of the famous Shakes pearean drama, in that characteriza tion and characters were the same, yet circling in and around the later day school ideas, with football ac companiments. it gave a zest to the performance that appealed to the audience as the real thing could not have done. The cast was splendid, and the young people acted as to the manor born, and each particular por tion of the play awoke those present to the fact that unusual talent was being displayed by the actors in the unique and unusual drift of the scenes being enacted. It was peculiar ly well adapted to the occasion and was very pleasing from start to finish. Besides and in addition to the regu lar drama, Miss Lulu McFadden gave an address of welcome in behalf of the class most pleasing, while Miss Emma Rowe gave the class history in splendid manner and with oratorical ability surprising in diction, in English, in voice and in pose, scarce ly expected in one unused to appear ing before the public and brought forth rounds of applause from each and ail present. With one accord, unstinted praise is accorded each and every one connected with the class play of 1909. The members of the graduating class are: Flora Ohlsen, Ada Smith, Klea McNulty, Emma Rowe. Lulu McFadden, Arlie Corn ing, Christian Sorensen and Clifford Rein. Those assisting in the play were: Arthur Rowe. Hemple Jones, Walter Callaham, Russell Snyder, Edwin Ohlsen, Edward Thrasher. John Burrowes. Milford Tracy and several high school boys. P. E. O. Chapter A. P. entertained in honor of Mrs. and Miss McKech nie. who are about to depart for their future far away home in Toronto, Canada, inviting Chapter A. Q. of Loup City and the P. E. Os of Ord and Wolbach to be with us but only the Loup City Chapter was able Jo accept. They were met at the station by our president, Mrs. Crew, and others and escorted to Mrs. T. T. Bell's when the B. & L’s kindly sent | autos to take them for a ride over j the city. It proved an enjoyable j outing, the air being clean and pure ; after the shower. Our guests spent! a pleasant half hour looking over Mrs. Fleming's china paintings. A three course luncheon was served at the home of Mrs. Crew after which we returned to Mrs. Bell’s and the regu lar order of business gone through and |Mrs. Philips was initiated into the sisterhood. Mrs. Outhouse, presi dent of Chapter A. Q.. responded very pleasantly to an invitation, fol lowed by Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Musser and Mrs. Nightingale. Mrs. Ililsa beck recited an original poem en titled "‘The Marguerite4” and was given warm words of praise and ad miration. Miss Nightingale played a couple of selections in a pleasing1 manner. Mrs. Grace Leftwich read a piece in her inimitable way. We then accompanied our guests to the j station, each expressing himself as having passed a pleasant day, which was only saddened by the thoughts of the loss of Mrs. McKechnie and her charming daughter, who while they have been with us but a short; time are loved and respected by all i who know them.—St. Paul Phono graph Press. I)o you know that you can write your name on the metal of your farm tools'? You can. Just take a little tallow or beeswax, melt it and spread it over the place on which you want, your name—write your name down through the wax with a big needle or awl and pour a few drops of nitric acid over the letters you have made. Leave a few minutes, then wipe off the wax and your name will be on the iron.—Ex.

For Cleaning Wall Paper To clean wall-paper use the follow ing recipe: Ten cents worth of liquid ammonia, ten cents' worth of oil of sassafras, one teaspoonful (even full) of soda, two teaspoonful(s even full) of salt and one quart of cold water. Mix the cold water with the ingred ients, then add white flour until it is thick enough to drop from a spoon. Put in a covered pail, set in a kettle of boiling water, and cook until done, stirring often. If it does notstick to the hands when cool, it is done. Re move from the pail and divide into “loavas,” working each piece a while in the hand. Take out only what is needed, leaving the rest covered in the pail, to prevent the ammonia from evaporating. Rub ahe wall with a loaf, working the dirt into the dough. When very dirty, exchange for a clean loaf. This removes dirt and grease magically and leaves old paper as good as new when used care fully.—Woman’s Home Companion for J une. DAYS OF TRIBULATION OVER. Persistent Office-Seeker Had Finally Landed Soft Job. “I remember one man from my home town,” a westerner senator said recently, ‘‘in the good old days of civil service examinations, whose dream of earthly attainment was a government place. When his party was finally successful he immediately set out for Washington and was ‘on the job’ long before the 4th of March, but there seemed to be a hitch some where. All through the spring he was about town. Wherever I went I would see hint, striving for or just after an audience with some depart ment official. By June he was seedy and broken looking, but still appeared to be ‘game.’ Finally I found him in the gallery of the senate chamber ap parently endeavoring to kill time. “‘Well, have you given it up?’ I asked, trying to be sympathetic. “ ‘Oh, I got the jpb, all right,’ he re plied with a satisfied smile. ‘I’m working now.’ ’’—Success Magazine.
