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

Fritz Bichel
Buys Big
Motor Plow
Last Thursday afternoon, Chauffer
Criss. with his big touring car. took
W. 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.
