Tiie primary election results are surprising, not so nyich in the result of the race as in surprising result in the tigures of the gainers. It was an open secret that Roosevelt would like ly carry Nebraska, but not even the most sanguine supporters of the ex president thought for one moment that he might lay it over both his op ponents by such an overwhelming majority. The fact that he will carry the state very probably by 2 to 1, or possibly by 3 to lover the second man was not thought within bounds of reason, but appears to be the re sult. Another surprise is that Presi dent Taft will undobtedly be the third man. La Follette coming out a good second, but Roosevelt having a goodly majority over both Taft and LaFollett*. On the democratic side, the trend of public opinion seemed to name Wilson as the high man, with Harmon second and Champ Clark third, but this has been knocked into a cocked hat, as Champ Clark carries the state by a generous majoriey over both Harmon and Wilson, and with the probabilities that the picked winner will be third man. On the govenorship, of course Al drich easily wins on the republican side, bul his opponent, an unknown quantity so to speak, gets surprising ly large vote, which can only be laid to the ignorance of the voters in re gard to the blanket ballot, thousands going into the voting booths and not being informed voted for the first man named for each office, in that it brought him to the top in every other ballot, where but two were in the race. Hence tnousands ignorantly voted without knowing anything about the man they were voting for. In this way, Aldrich’s opponent re ceived the largest percentage of his vote. The democrats of wet persuasion evidentlv had not fotgotten Metcalfe's stand on county option in the past and when they went Into the booths the wrath they had heaped on Met calf's devoted head in the past found vent in putting an X after his oppo nent's name, thus being able to “come back" at him in a most effective roan uer. The trouble with Metcalf was he had no idea there were so many democrats of the above particular brand, or very likely he would not have been in the game. On r. S. Senator, the “glorious" in surgency mania had seized upon the people with the same aridity yellow fever germs get action in stricken southland, and spread with such rapidity that when yellow papers labelled a man a “stand patter,” it caused a stampede of the same nature of the cry of "Fire’’ in a theater building, whether there was or was not any foundation for either word and the man so labeled got it in the neck. For that reason Senator Nor ris Brown has probably been defeated for re-election to the United States senate and Judee Norris wins. For the same nomination at the hands of the democrats, the result is to the contrary of that of the nomin ation for governor. Metcalfe was evi dently defeated because of his well known temperence record. In the senatorial tight. Shallenberger, cele brated as the "8 o'clock closing” governor, won over his opponents, who were known to belong to the op posing faction. However, the fact that Shallenberger would go out of the state to exploit, may have tem pered the vote in his favor. For the ’steentli time the ‘ Little Giant” has been obliged to go dowA to defeat at the hands of of iiis democratic breth ren. But he is still comparatively young and evidently believes in the old adage.‘lf atany old time you don’t succeed, try. try again,” hence we shall expect he will againbe up for some office in the near future. As near as can be forecast by the returns already tabulated, the follow ing named candidates ar tire success full candidates Republican Democrat President Roosevelt Clark IT. S.

F. Mason, W. D. Zimmerman, M. C. Muiick, C. C. Outhouse and the Northwestern man out to Mr. Fritz Bichel's to witness the working of the first big motor gang plow ever in this county. And it was a great sight. Arriving at the farm we found a big machine driven by gasoline power hauling eight big plows, with disc following, tearing up the ground ana mulcting a swath about ten feet wide, the big motor walking along, up and down hill, across draws, at a rate of between two and three miles an hour, as easily as a team of horses would pull a single plow. The big machine resembles to some extent a traction engine, with its enormous side wheels 8 to 10 feet in dimater, with width of track two feet or more and with small guiding wheels in front, while up in the cab sits the engineer at the wheel easily guiding the bulky affair with one hand, if he wishes. Following and attached by two cross chains is a broad platform capable of holding a small picnic par ty. or a (fame of whist, or an “always tired" bunch, such as Criss took out, at the rear of which platform the plows are hitched, and controlled by long levers from the platform. The engine is 4-cyiiner. 30-horse power af fair and will break up turf 8 incites deep at the rate of 27 acres per day. Tire average speed is 2 1-10 miles an hour but can be speeded to nearly four miles an hour. The whole out fit comes at the price of something over $4,000. Several auto loads were viewing the sight that day and nu merous parties are viewing it daily. It is worth going miles to see. As Mr. Bichel is the possessor of some 27 quarter sections o' land, tie can make good use of Ids Jumbo machine. Chautauqua August 17-21 At Loup City There will be five musical numbers in the Chautauqua program, a differ ent one for each day. The first of these will be a company of colored singers and entertainers of high class. These men have been se lected from negro colleges and uni versities of the squth as representing the best in their line. The Riner sisters and Miss Beren iece Lathrop follow. Then comes the Dunbar singing orchestra, organized by Ralph Dun bar, the greatest organizing genius of the Lyceum. Aiir lui^rnsi u uaius uauu will uc here on the fourth day. This band was organized by Victor, the great band man, and will be brought direct from Italy. The band is under the direction of Signor Pasquale Ferrante and is a band of nineteen pieces. The Nell Kitchtield Trio comes on the last day. This is said to be the most laughable entertainment on the Chautauqua platform. Besides these there will be the Dr. Everest Cathell, the great Lincoln lecturer, Dr. Geo. II. Bradford of the University of Oklahoma.Ilarold Manlove and Cleve land C. Kleihauer. There will be a special children's department under the direction of Helen Bradford Paulsen of the Uni versity of West Virginia, famous as a director of child lea’s play. The sale of the season tickets is handled by local business men and the Chautauqua is managed through the co.opeation of the Redpath-Bor ner Chautauquas, this place being on their five-day circuit of more than sixty Chautauquas. The season ticket plan makes the Chautauqua cost about fifteen or twenty cents a number, which is cheap enough. Baby Hand Hashed In Cods of Wringer Last week Monday morning, while Mrs. Lou Schwiner was getting out her washing, her infant baby about a year old put his chubby little hand in the cogs of the wringer, injuring it quite badly but the bones being so soft and pliable the damage will not be great and no disfiguration will result. • Are Evangelists Sincere. Some time since, in a preachers' meeting in Lincoln, one of the rever ends, who was a statewide acquain tance as a minister wita fixed beliefs, and the audacity to say them, re marked: “Are the modern evangelists earnest? 1 will leave this to you, Certain it is that all in the heat, of speeches are earnest, but if we see them fifteen or twenty minutes after ward, our opinion on the matter may undergo a change. Laughing, talk ing, collecting their money,, we would be almost led to the conclusion that they have forgotten all about the men and woman whose souls a few minutes ago they,saved.” THE ASSESSOR When he comes around assessing I consider him distressing, notwith standing bis politeness and the sunny smile he wears»ll his dancing and singing to my heart are never bring ing anything but grief and sorrow, and addition to my cares. All his Jollying and jolting I oonsider most re volting for a humorous assessor is a bird I don’t endorse be should be as grim and sober as a graveyard in Oc tober, be as sombre as a mourner and as clammy as a corpse. Let all other men be joyous and their mirth will not annoy us, but a Sunny Jim assessor gives me fifty-seven pains; and his levity shocking and his jest are coarse and mocking, for it’s ill to be an aleck where a grevious sorrow reigns. Oh, the blithe assessor wearies with his everlasting queries, and he has a way of saying without utter ing a word with a glance that scarce ly pious; “You’re another Ananias, and the values you are giving are outrageously absurd.” And he seems to be suggesting while he’s snooping round and questioning that I want to beat the city or the county of its dues; and I feel within me burning an imperishable yearning to assault him with a bulldog and caress bin with my shose.—Walt Mason.
