Adjoining the kitchen will he a store room, furnace room and coal bin. properly par titioned ofi. The house is of cement blocks with fine porch of cement on the west. The plans are unique and wfU make a most commodious home. Fatal Accident This (Thursday) morning about 8 o'clock at the Keystone lumber yard at Rockville occurred an accident in a runaway which will probably re sult in the death of the injured man. While loading a wagon with lumber, driven by an old gentleman named llajek. who was here from his home in Buffalo county helping his son build a house, the team ran away, re sulting in splitting the old man’s skull, breaking his left leg and caus ing other serious injuries. The leg will have to suffer amputation, which, with his advanced age of 70 years, and other injuries, will likely result in his death. Later. 1:06 p. m.—A phone message frome Tom Lay just-received says the injured man died, a few minutesjpast noon. No operation was attempted, as there was no chance for recovery. Dr. Marcy’s Mother Dead Word was received here the first of the week by Mrs. Marcv from I)r. Marcy who has been at Sterling, 111., the past week at the bedside of his good mother, that the latter passed away last Sunday evening atTo'clocK, the funeral to occur Wednesday aft ernoon. The four sons and’ two daughters of the sainted mother were all present. Mrs. Lucy Sands, twice bereaved of life companions, was aged t. years. Some eight years since she lost her evsight, and for a period of years has been a sufferer from cancerous affections, undergo several operations therefor, the dis ease coupled with advanced age caus ing her death. She was well and fa vorably known to many of our people having visited here a number of times in past years. Dr. Marcy is expected home this week. He has the earnest sympathy of friends, and especially of those who have passed through a like sorrow. Campbell Bros/ Show The Carnplell brothers circus and menagerie which visited Loup City Tuesday of this week upheld its for mer reputation as being the cleanest, best managed, and purest show of the kind on the road. Being a pro duct erf Nebraska, owned and con trolled by Nebraska boys, who are courteous, gentlemanly and oblig ing fellows, it appeals to our people and as a result the big tent was com fortably filled with the best of our people, who applauded to the echo a performance excellent from start to finish. One graceful and grateful aet on the part of the management, and one ever to be remembered by our people, was the arranging the route of the big parade at the request of the w riter so that it might pass the homes of the editor and others whose little ones were shut in by quaran tine. thus giving the little household angels a plimpse of the child's para dise from which they were tempora rily banished. It was a kindness that was heartily appreciated and happily commented on. One of the most noteworthy things about this good show is tlie entire absence of the fol lowing 0f gamblers, confidence men and short-changers, such undesirable citizens being banished. Another good point is the carrying with the show a Bed Cross tent and competent physican- a thoughtful provision. All in all. Campbell Brothers' show is commendable in all its appoint ments and future visits desired. Moon Creek Items Ti^e "last day of school" picnic was j a pronounced success. The picnic j dinner, as most of such are. was nice | anil greatly enjoyed by those present: I ice cream being one of the main fea-: tures. The ball game resulted in favor of | tiie Zwink team. Robert Hinsdale, accompanied by Frank Fross, shipped cattie Wednes day last. The latter will spend a j few days in Table Rock before re turning home. .'lr. and Mrs. lliddleson are still re pairing their house. Misses Cora and Yelva Fross and Ethel Mercer visited Omaha Wednes day. Miss Yelva went on to Table Rock to visit relatives, while the other two returned home Friday. Mrs. Clark, who is still very poorly, has a brother here visiting iier from Cuniversity Place.alsoa brother and wife here from Illinois. Mrs. A. R. Outhouse and Mrs. A.P. Culley went to Lincoln Friday to at tend tiie Ivy Day exercises at the Ssate University. Their daughters at school there will see that they are properly cared for. as they purchased return tickets.

Frank Grow and Miss Pearle Needham Tuetdav to that city as | counsel or witnesses. I)r. S. A. Allen returned last Friday i noon from tiie dentist's convention at Lincoln, and would you believe it, did not capture a darned office for Loup City. He and Taylor Gibson should be' quarantined for not lasso ing offices from their state meets. Mrs. Harry Bellenger went to Loup City Tuesday, where she will spend a w'eek or two visiting friends and relatives. While she is away Harry will spend most of his time fishing on tiie Loup river, as lie lias a lay-off from his duties of tiring on tne U. P. —St. i'aul Phonograph. E. S. Cook of Wichita, Kas., has accepted a position as yard man with tiie Keystone Lumber Co., of this city, arriving last week. He is a very affable gentleman and we are glad to welcome him to the city. We understand Mrs. Art Gilbert of Ar cadia has permanently accented the position of bookkeeper at the Key stone' office. In spite of the fact that tiie editor has doubted, and does still doubt, tiie presence of small pox (that is, the real tiling) in this city and county, lie has suffered banishment from his home, which is under quarantine for that disease and has taken up a temporary abode with Landlord Lun dy of the St. Elmo, his little daugh ter. Hazel, being the victim of the so-called disease, which he is willing to admit is of an infectious char acter. and believes it is the right thing to quarantine, as the best method of stamping it out. At no time lias his little daughter been seriously ill. and the telephone an nounces she is having a picnic within the four walls, working "dad" for anything she fancies necessary to her contentment under her enforced con finement. There are several other "dads" eating at the St. Elmo who are enjoying the same blessing.f?) as the editor, among whom are Wm. Larsen. Bob Young and Pete Ogle. I while L. Rein, Tom Daddow. R. M. lliddleson and Homer Hultz and pos-; sibly some others are out of sight1 somewhere. The whole thing ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous: and then some. Whatever it is, the little ones infected seem to be hav ing the most fun out of the game. Program To be given at the M. E. church Decoration Day, May 30. at 1:30 p. m.! Music—Doxology.

Harper Put the Hoboes at Work There should be a "rock pile" so.to speak, provided for the hoboes who seem of late to have spotted Loup City as a dead easy point to visit. Following the over-night detention t soft bed provided at Sheriff Williams' hospitable city palace with checker- j barred windows, for three of these! fellows last week, another weary son 1 of rest, who had neeti occupying a stable in the rear of Mayor l’edler's residence as a lodging house, was taken in by Marshal Burnett last Thursday evening and placed in the checker-board retreat. These fellows are not fed at county expense, as er roneously stated by us last week but are turned out to graze on the pub lic the morning following their over night arrest. We trust the authori ties will hustle up some work on the street and hare Marshal Burnet herd them, as manual labor will have a tendency to stop visits from such un desirable citizens. Can't this be doue at once. Mr. Mayor and gentlemen of his cabinet'/ WE COULD SELL THAT COST US LESS, but we conldn't build up a good reputa tion that way. We must sell you clothes that will wear, hold their shape and always look well, and must be made right and from absolutely all-wool fabrics. We are safe in selling them: you are safe in buying them. LOP PT'Z The Reliable Clothier |-- i Notice 1 will stand my three imported stallions at the same barn in Loup City, two Percherons and one Belgian, weighing from 1700 to 1900 pounds. Come and see me. as it costs no more to raise a colt from a good imported horse than a grade. Terms, #15 to insure colt to stand and suck. #12 to insure mare with foal. V for season. All mares that are sold, traded or abeut to be moved from vicinity where bred the service becomes due. Yours resp't, Jamks W. Johnson. BRAIN, NO. 58929 Four years old. Dark Dapple Cray Season—Monda vs. Fridays and Sat urdays at Round Front barn, balance of week at farm one mile northeast of town. Terms of service—$10.00 to insure colt to stand and suck: $7.50 to insure mare safe in foal. If mare is traded, sold or removed from coun ty. foal bill of same will become due and I will expect immediate settle ment. Care will be taken to prevent accidents, but will not be responsible should any occur. As we are using the improved cap sul system this year, it will be neces sary for all mares to be at the barn not later than 4 o'clock, as they must be examined and ready to be bred at 4:30 p. m. each day. Statistics show that this method of breeding will get 30 per cent more colts than by the actual service of the hone. Bring in your shy breeders and we will breed them for you. Mellor 9t Johnson. 4!

SPENT $500.1-REFUSED $3000.33 Two years ago one of Uncle Sam’s soldiers filed on a 40-acre homestead adjoining the town of Powell, Wyoming. By applying his time served in the Army, this homesteader has now made final proof. He has paid out only 0500.00 on the ten payment plan, towards water rights and improve ments, and has just refused a 03000.00 offer for his 40-acre farm. This illustrates the value of irrigated farms under Government Canals in the Big Horn Basin. Your Chance Soon More of this same kind of land will be opened soon to entry. The Ralston Unit Is already platted and 12 miles more of the main canal is more than half finished br the contractors. If you want to get one of these rich Government prizes send me your name and address for my mailing list and I will notify you as fast as new tracts will be supplied with water. The next one will be announced very soon.
