Political Announcements
FOR COUNTY TREASURER
I hereby announce myself as a candidate for
the office of County Treasurer on the demo
cratic ticket, subject to the action of the
electors at the primaries. O. F. Putkrson.
“The noble works of God.” general
ly have something more pronounced
above the shoulders than a wart
haired over.
Gibson of the dinky is developing
into a pronounced humorist. Last
week lie dubbed his chief man Friday
as “one of the noble works of God.”
Gibby is too funny for anything.
It seems to be an open question
whether the city council or its clerk
is running municipal matters in
Loup City. Even one of the council
men at its last meeting expressed his
desire to know just which was it.
At the head of these columns will
be found the announcement of O. F.
Peterson asking for the democratic
nomination at the primaries for the
otlice of county treasurer. About
the most uncivil thing you can sug
gest about Otto is his democratic
proclivities. lie will prove a strong
and swift runner for the nomination.
Six candidates for supreme judge
under the new non-partisan ; udiciary
act have already declared themselves
ready to be hit and petitions are now
being circulated in Omaha and else
where that they may be placed on
the official ballot. Judges Iiarnes,
Fawcett and Dean are the three
judges who retire this year and all
are candidates for re-election. Judge
E. R. Duffie of Omaha. Judge Francis
Hamer of Kearney and John O.
Yeiser of Omaha are the other can
didates so far announced.
The Northwestern had the pleas
ure(?) of being represented at the
meeting of the city council Tuesday
evening and sat in perplexed wonder
ment as to really determine which
was the head and front of that or
ganization. Under the law of com
pensation, it seemed to be a fact that
the old adage of “He who knows the
least talks the most,” was truly in
honor at the sitting as the honorable
board and its attorney were almost
silent spectators while “one of tiie
noble I works of God”(hic!) gave the
law(!) unto them. It was truly re
freshing and worth going miles not
to witness.
Since he has been governor, Shall
enberger has drawn $600 of state
money to pay for railroad mileage.
Let’s see—in this part of the coun
try $1 takes a passenger 50 miles, $10
pays one's fare 500 miles, 8600 w ill
cover the expense of transporting a
mortal 30,000 miles. Golly, Shelly is
quite a traveler, isn't lie? Sixty-two
times from one end of the state to
the other, or once around the world
with a trip from Chicago to San
Francisco thrown in'. And it has
taken him only four months to make
this record! In the words of Uncle
Rube as a speeding auto tossed him
and his old nag Nell over the hedge
row into the neighbor’s potato
orchard, "that’s going some.” We
almost forgot to state that these new
mileage books are good when pre
sented by your wife, children and
other friends.—Holdrege Citizen.
Candidates for the various county
offlces are coming to tlie altar of sac
rifice. Among-those who are under
stood to be like the immortal Barkis’,
“willin ,” are mentioned, Louis Rein
and Otto Petersen, dems, both of
Loup City, for treasurer, but no one
so far is offered on the right political
side. For sherifi. the Times brings
out the names of James Hurvta of
Bristol, I* red Dunkerof Scliaupps and
Henry Beck of Harrison, dems, for
Sheriff Williams’ shoes. Tom Lay of
Rockville is mentioned to us by a
friend for another try for the county
clerkship on the republican side, and
the Times hoists the name of S. S.
Polski, dem, of Ashton for the same
place. E. H. Kittel of Rockville and
Emerson Smith of Loup City, demo
pops, are mentioned in connection
with Peter Rowe, socialist leader, for
the county judgship, while many of
L ncle Joe Pedler’s friends are urging
him to “walk in” to the place. L. H.
Currier or Rockville and J. F. Nicko
son of Loup City, fus-dems. are both
recipients of favorablly mentioned
lor county superintendent of schools,
but with modern Damon-Pythias con
sistency each insist “You first, my
dear Alphonse.” Mrs.MaryA K. Hen
drickson is also a candidate for that
office.. So far, the campaign gives
promise of being one of the most hot
ly contested in Sherman county for
years.
The little town of Chapman, Neb.,
shows what a joyous furore can be
aroused when the fires of factional
ism get well started. The town has
two able-bodied factions which de
vote much time to hating and spite
fully using each other. Finally, this
sPHng, each faction elected a village
board, and each board organized and
proceeded to transact public business.
Now the county attorney threatens
to begin suit unless the two boards
bet together and abolish ore of the
organizations. Altogether Chapman
is having a stirring Jtime which
be emulated by other towns that
rather block growtli and ruin busi
ness than tolerate the spirit of peace
and fellow consideration.—Beatrice
Express.

The stakes for the coming Nebras

closed with all eight races tilling
satisfactorily. Not less than ten
horses were named in any one of the

them are for 51000 purses. The
entries in the last races were ex
tremely gratifying.
The Lincoln base ball team closed

They will reach home June 9th and
will engage Sioux City. Des Moines
and Omaha four games each at
Antelope Park.
According to the Genoa Times
there is another contest on between
the business men and retired farmers
of Fullerton. The business men in
sist that the main street of the city
should be sprinkled at public expense
and that all the taxpayers should
contribute. The retired farmers say
they don't care whether the streets
are sprinkled or not: that if the busi
ness men want the dust settled they
should dig down into their pockets
and pay for the work. The quarrel
has created much hard feeling and
the retired farmers threaten to pat
ronize catalogue houses in the future
if the council pays the sprinkling bill
out of the city funds. The business
men answer the threat hurled at
them by declaring that they will
oppose the candidacy of a bunch of
retired agriculturists who are crazy
to till the several offices in the court
house. A few weeks ago it was
whiskey that divided the people of
Fullerton into hostile factions: now
it's a water issue that confronts
them.

A TRAP FOR EAVESDROPPERS.
Simple Device Well Calculated to In
sure Privacy.
The eavesdropper, ere applying his
ear, applied his eye. Through the
keyhole another eye looked coldy into
his. He started back, pale with fright.
He tiptoed off hurriedly. “I'll lose my
job,’’ he muttered.
Meanwhile his mistress, the widow,
sat with the young and gallant cap
tain in the room from whose door the
eavesdropper had retreated. A ciga
rette smoldered between her slim fin
gers and her dimpled elbows were
on the table, among the litter of
foie gras sandwiches, cold partridge
and champagne.
The young captain pointed to the
door. A hand mirror, its silver-gilt,
back towards him, hung from the
door knob.
“Why did you put that there?”
he asked.
“It 13 a trap for peepers,” replied
the widow. “Suppose my butler or
cook stole to the door and put his
eye to the keyhole. His eye would
meet another eye. Believing himself
discovered, he would trot silently
away.”
