IMPERIAL GUARDS,
BAND UFSULOISTS
Orgauized With Big Music in
Mind, and Not Big
Numbers.
HAVE PLAYED FDR THE KING.
--
Director, a Former Master of Cres
tore'*—There Are Graduates From
the Royal Conservatory in Naples,
the Well Known Royal Corservatory
in Naples.
If there can be said to be a featur
ing of any one thing in the Chautau
qua program to be here this summer,
it certainly is in the musical offer
ings
There will be five companies on this
five-days' program.
And that !s unusual. The average
old Chautauqua program would string
along for a week or ten days with
but three or four musical companies,
because each one was contracted for
three or at least two days.
Our Chautauqua is going to have
variety, and there is no question about
that.
a amerent musical company eacn
day. And often the appearance of
these musical companies is only a half
of the afternoon's or evening’s pro
gram.
The program usually runs something
like this; Afternoon, prelude. So-and
So Concert Company; lecture or en
tertainment, So-and-So Lecturer or
Entertainer. And the evening pro-*
gram in the same order, with a differ
ent offering.
There are nine distinctly different
attractions at least.
Hut referring again to the music.
The big attraction in music, of course,
Is the band from Italy.
The Imperial Guards is not the
largest band in America. That is not
claimed, even by the most enthusiastic
of Chautauqua supporters. But it is
claimed most persistently that the Im
perial Guards is an organization ol
very celebrated musicians—men of
wide fame in tfcetr own country. It is
a band of soloists. The organizer,
Victor, the great New York musical
organizer, has built this band on the
theory that quality in the character of
work would be emphasized rather than
the number of men. and yet there has
been no sacrificing of numbers.
The Right Plan.
It was the right plan.
■The band has been brought all the
way from Venice ig Italy for this ten
weeks' Chautauqua engagement. It is
filling a ^eries of sixty-five engage
ments In towns like ours—good, pros
perous towns in Nebraska, Kansas and
South Dakota.
Most towns in this list have bands
of their own. And there are a lot of
fairly good bands in these towns.
Why should a band be brought from
Venice that is not better than all of
these others put together?
But this Is a better band.
Why. the director of this band—he
has a very difficult Italian name—was
at one time the assistant director of
Creator's band, recognized everywhere
as one of the largest and most cele
brated bands in the world.
This band director has played for
the King of Italy—“a very great indeed
honor,” as he proudly says. And the
men playing with him in the Imperial
Guards, have played in the King’s
court on many a notable occasion, in
a land In which music—and pa-ticu
larly band music—is & recognized pro
fession.
There are graduates In this band of
the Royal Conservatory at Naples, and
*hat means fifteen years of hard study,
and it is the highest honor in musical
scholarship in Italy.
This is not an ordinary band that is
eoming here to the Chautauqua this
summer. There never was such a
band in this city, and you'll be making
a mistake If you miss hearing it.
Some of the fifty men on the Red
path-Horner Chautauqua tent crews
are training for college athletics.
They handle the big tents, drive
stakes and put up canvas. They sell
tickets at the gate and see tg the gen
eral comfort of Chautauqua patrons.
They are college men off on a vaca
tion. They sleep in a tent within the
Thautauqua enclosure, which they call
the "dog” tent. Of course everyone
supposes they lead a merry life, and
it may l>e they do.
With a playground expert from
West Virginia in charge of the Junior
Chautauqua, the boys and girls are
promised a big time Chautauqua
week.
There will be a big crowd in to. j
Chautauqua week.
Get the Chautauqua season ticket
today.
At the Chautauqua we have the of
ferings of a whole summer’s amuse
ment park crowded into one week.
And it is a better class of amusement
than the big city offers.
A thing that puts this city in th«
class of progressive towns is the
Chautauqua.

Democratic Gounty
Convention
Our unterritied democrats of Sher
man county met in convention in
Loup City last Friday afternoon and
selected seven delegates to the dem
| ocratic state convention, to be held
in Grand Island the 30th of July, as
follows: Henry Beck, E. Dwehus,
S. S. Polski, C. p. Beusehausen, R.
H. Mathew-, Hiyn» and Hans
Johnson.
The convention was a warm Bryan
output, and some democrats, who
were not in attendance claimed the
Bryan steam roller worked with such
smoothness that they did not hear it
coming till after the caucusses. hence
could not be present to be mashed
flat, as they undoubtedly would have
been had they put on their lighting
togs and got into action, as the Bry
anites had the roller in perfect run
ning order. They also selected the
follow ing county central committee:
C. F. Beushausen, Chairman; Oak
Creek, Rensei Rewolinski: Logan,
Wra. Jung: Washington. A. E. Charl
ton: Elm, R. E. Dale: Webster, J. A.

HERMANSON
OUT OF RACE
Word w as received here last week
that Mr.T. Hermanson, who was nom
inated at the late primaries as candi
date for state senator from this dis
triat, had tendered his resignation as
such candidate, as he was about to
move to the Paciiic Coast. Mr. Her
manson has for several years been the
official stenographer for Judge Hos
tetter. and genuine regret will be ex
pressed over both facts—his resigna
tion from the senatorial race and his
proposed removal from this district
and from the state, as he has proven
one of the most popular of men in [
his official position which has placed
him within the knowledge and gained
the warm friendship of a large num
ber of our people. It is to be hoped
he may prosper in every way over his
removal to the far west.
A Judge Gaslin Story
A Lincoln lawyer says the political
squabble reminds him of an incident
which occurred many years ago in the
court presided over bv the late Judge
Gaslin in one of the western counties
of the state.
A criminal case was on trial and
the attorney for the defendent
was making his argument to the jury.
The judge with his back to the jury
was looking out of a window, appar
ently paying no attention to the ar
gument. Presently an altercation
arose between the attorneys during
which uncomplimentary epithets were
passed.
Suddenly the judge wheeled about
in his swiyeled chair, hit the desk a
resounding blow and shouted, ”Sit
down! I never heard such a hell of a
row In my life: neither of you fellows
know what you are talking about
.and I don’t either.”
STILL VOTING
R. R. BONDS
Several More Localities Give
_ Overwhelming Majorities
for the New North and
South Road
Last Tuesday special elections were
held at Franklin for the purpose of
determining whether bonds should be
issued by that city in support of the
new north and south railroad and the
vote was overwhelming in favor of
the bond issue of $10,000. The vote
in favor of the bonds was 197 to 33
against.
At Beloit a special election was held
the same day and the vote in favor of
the bond issue was about as unani
mous as it was at Franklin, the vote
in favor of the issuance of $20,000 was
251 to U0 against. So far as our
knowledge extends there has not
been a single failure in securing an
overwhelming majority in favor of
granting bond aid for this road wher
ever asked along the proposed line. (
BOOSTER TRIPS
Next Tuesday will be the first ef
the booster trips of the Loup City
Commercial Club and those citizens
outside of the ciub. who have given
subscriptions towards financing the
Harvest Festival, to boost the Festi
val. The trip will be made with auto
mobiles. taking in Ord, Sargent,
Comstock and Arcadia, returning
home in the evening. The start will
be made from Loup City at 7 a. m.
sharp, and some thirty-five autos have
been engaged to carry the boosters,
some ninety odd in number. The
second trip will come off Thursday
following, with the same number of
autoes and people and a 7 o'clock in
the morning start. The second trip
will take in Ashton. Rockville. Ra
venna, Sweetwater, Hazard and Litch
field. All those intending to go with
the boosters are w arned to be on hand
at 7 o'clock a. m. sharp, or they may
get left. The band will be taken
along and several thousand tags will
be distributed, besides plenty of lit
erature. relating to the Harvest Fes
tival. A great time is anticipated
and a Whoop-'er-Up crowd wilt ui«ke
big advertising for the coming big
Harvest Festival.

U. P. to Build from Hast
ings to Gibbon .
It is announced in Thursday morn
ing papers that the U. P. w ill build
from Hastings to Gibbon, a company
having been incorporated under the
name of the Hastings and North
western Railroad Co., with A. L.
Mohler. W. B. Scott, R. L. Huntly
and other prominent Union Pacific
officials as the incorporators. The
new line will form a short-line con
nection between the U. P., and the
Grand Island and St. Joseph line, and
the effect will be to divert a good deal
of business from Grand Island, where
the junction is now maintained.
Obituary.
Kristina Victoria Kron, wife of E.
T. Kron, died suddenly Saturday, the
29th, and was buried Sunday, the
interment being made in the
Evergreen cemetery, Rev Blom con
ducting the services, Mr. and Mrs.
Kron came to Loup City in the spring
of 1911, locating on a farm northwest
pf town, where they have made their
home ever since. Mrs Kron leaves a
bereaved husband, an aged fattier
and four brothers and sisters in
Sweden, and a brother in this coun
try. That the Kron family is highly
esteemed by neighbors and friends
was manifest at the funeral, there
being a large attendance and a liberal
floral offering. The profound sym
pathy of the entire community goes
with Mr. Kron to his home made deso
late by the loss of his beloved wife.
If you are interested in political
speculation, here is an interesting
problem: If Roosevelt goes through
with his third party scheme and be
comes its candidate, will he hurt
Wilson or Taft most? There are
several arguments to be presented on
either side. If he and Wilson run as
simon pure progressive candidates
with Taft as the conservative candi
date, will they not divide the progres
sive vote and make Taft's election
certain? Or will the progressives
wait until it is seen whether Roose
velt or Wilson develops the most
strength and then vote largely for
that man, who will undoubtedly be
Wilson? Or will Wilson, holding the
progressive democrats, be an easy
winner because Roosevelt's candi
dacy will deprive Taft of flie united
republican support? Or will Wilson
while running as a progressive, drive
the conservatives of his party to Taft,
thus overcoming the defection from
the republican party due to either
Wilson or Roosevelt’s appeals to the
progressive republicans? Or are there
so few conservatives left in the
| country that if they do unite on Taft
it will be Either Wilson or Roosevelt.
