Ex-Glerk Gibson Short $541.05 Court Gives Him Sixty Days to Make Good. About a year since, the county in stituted a suit against Geo. II. Gib son, ex-county clerk of Sherman county, for several hundred dollars of earned fees of the office which he had failed to account for. The suit came up for hearing at the following district court and was carried for ward to the next court. At that seseion, it was decided, at the sug gestion of Judge Hostetler, that an expert accountant should be secured to go over the books of the office and upon his report botli sides should be appeased, Gibson denying there was any shortage in his accounts. At the present term of the district court, the report of the referee was made which showed Gibson was short, prin cipal and interest, $497, which, with costs to tiie amountof $44.05 made up a total of $541.05, which the court entered in judgment against Gibson, staying execution on the same (>0 days to enable defendant to make good to the county. The cost of referee, amounting to $102 was taxed up to the county, and there the matter rests. Had the case gone to a jury instead of being settled by referee, the costs would have been enormous and we feel satisfied the wisdom of Judge Hostetler will be clearly ap preciated, even if some at present feel the cost of referee should have been taxed to Gibson also. As it is, the matter has been gone through with at the minimum expense to both the county and ex-clerk, and as Gibson had, through his attorney, Mr. Thompson of Grand Island, pledged himself to pay the amount found by the referee, the county will be to the good $541.05, instead of going through an extensive and ex pensive law suit witli an unknown quantity in the shape of a jury, and Gibson may congratulate himself lie gets o!T on comparatively easy street. As to tiie Morthwestern’s comments on the outcome, it will offer none at this time, being satisfied to allow the result to speak for itself. If Mr. Gibson is wise lie will do the same and -let the matter rest by speedily ‘•Putting it Back” and subsiding from the role of “Savior of tiie People.” Last week the Titnes-Independent came out with an uncalled for in sinuation and suggestion to the effect fiat the republican candidate for county clerk was a socialist. The Northwestern washes here to brand the Times as indulging in what is a most cowardly as well as uncalled for assault on Mr. Weare, who is out as republican nominee for county clerk, and veiled falsehoods, such as the Times indulges in, are more con temptible than direct assertions. Mr. Weare gives us authority to say that he is and lias been a republican from the time he cast ills first vote, and at no time lias he been a socialist or with socialistic tendencies. Will the Times-Independent be fair to Mr. Weare in its coming issue by giving him the benefit of this denial? Upon receipt of the news of the death of E. H. Ilarriman last Thurs day afternoon, just 28 minutes after the demise of the great railioad mag nate, Agent Collipriest draped the U. P. depot in mourning habliments; in commemoration of his chief. Mr. Walt Weare, republican candi date for county clerk, was in Loup City Monday getting acquainted with the political run of things. Mr. Weare is an ideal business man and will prove a most competent countv clerk. All reports go to show that the democratic party in the state is split to pieces over the county option and prohibition questions and no chance to come together. Let us predict that the democratic party will drop both questions as though they had the fervency of a red-hot stove. Who would have thought that George H. Gibson would start a plunderbund all of his own? The political pot is just starting to simmer, but it is mostly confined to tlie governorship so far on botli sides, although Sullivan, democratic runner for supreme judge, seems just now to be causing much trouble in the camp over his monopolistic tendencies. Some people seem to try to evade giving newspapers items concerning themselves, their comings and goings. So far as we are concerned, if they will so courteously inform the report er they will not be troubled. All we want is items of interest anyway. One Loebeok, a n Omaha democrat proposes to get into the democratic running for the governorship, and as an out-and-out county option man at that. He says he is not afraid of Hairless Jim or Shallenberger, either. Go in, Loeby, old boy, and make the hair fly on Shalle, but you will have to try some other deal on Baldy. District court convened here Mon day noon with Judge Hostetler pre siding, and as usual with our busi ness court expedited matters so as to finish by Wednesday noon. Judge Hostetler returned from his Alaskan trip about the middle of August and expressed himself to the Northwest ern as considering it one of the greatest experiences one could have. As one instance of the country, they are building a railroad of some 100 miles in length that will cost on an average of a million dollars a mile, through mountains and glaciers seem ingly inaccessible, in order to reach great copper mines, and this is only one of many great enterprises. There are perhaps 50,000 whites and 30,000 Indians there. The valleys are grow ing wheat and rye and large vege table gardens here and there furnish the people with abundant stuff for table use. The judge traveled as ex tensively as his seven days’ stay in Alaska would permit and speaks of the wonderful growth thus far and of the glowing prospects of that great territory.

The Construction of LAUREL Ranges is e:: :e:ne different from that used in all others. You say, ‘‘Why, tnis cr th range looks just like a Laurel.” True, but they are not construct like it. Because of their construction “Laurel” Ranges are bet! ranges. We would spell it b-e-s-t if we considered three or mo degrees of range quality. Recognizing only two Laurel at contemporary makes—we say “better.” Better steel, better ca. ings, better nickel plate, better designs, better workmanship, u . contribute to the making of a better range—The Laurel. Laurel Ranges will give “better” returns from a give.i i quantity of fuel and at the same time do better baking. As “Seeing is believing” an examination of LAUREL Ranges will convince you that “ Laurel ” features are not to be found in our advertising only. THERE WILL BE A COOKING EXHIBIT AT W. P.
