MANLOVE HAS SUCCEEDED IN CLEAN ENTERTAINMENT Halwood Robert Manlove is known la Chautauqua circle* the country- over an "The Man of Many Fhces." He is a character delineator who has raised the standards of make-up from the standards found today in the Hal wood Robert Manlove. work of i he circ s clown or the vaude ville ar- - to the standards of art in the be-- and the cleanest and best entertainment. Art—it ^ Manlove entertains the audience— such as the Chautauqua audience— that wants and insists upon the best— the cleanest—the most wholesome. He has presented his character do i. neat ions before some of the largest Y. SI. C A.'s and under religious aus pices. and he has done this success fully He makes folks laugh. "And I pride myself," he says, “that ■ in alt the work I have done there her never been a surest ion that might offend'* The Chautauqua management is using Manlove’s time on Sundays same as week days because he has a marvelously interesting program with a Sunday adaptation. And it is this work of Manlove’s that succeeds on week days and suc ceeds on Sundays that has placed him in a class of entertainers in which he is almost alone. Ho will appear hero Chautauqua A Very Jolly Crowd Were the Loup City Boosters Here Yesterday Afternoon Advertising Tlieir Fall Festival All Attended Loup City-Sargent Ball Came Tuesday afternoon was set aside by tiie good people of Sargent in prepar ing for and welcoming the Loup City boosters, and that they did success fully and gracefully, and with a feel ing of kindness was evidenced by tiie display signs in tiie windows, the flags and bunting, and the large* crowd that greeted tiie entrance of the boosters to our beautiful little city on tiie Loup. A number of our citizens in autos went out to escort tiie boosters in, and as tiie large influx of vehicles, headed by the band from that pro gressive town, lined up on main street, tiie people here were on tiie alert and in large crowds on hand ready to welcome them, and tiie hearty hand-shaking and the cordial greeting extended to tiie visitors from our neighboring city, is better expressed in the real deeds exemplified, than by anything that could be described in pen picture. A' ti e opportune time, and after several pieces of band music had be n rentier* d, the s[ tak; r in words befit Ing the no ussiun. addressed the as semblage anti in the course of iiis re marks said that Sargent of all towns visited, bad given t.<e most cordial .vela m: anti he. on behalf of tin o fliers, thanked Sargent for t •_> a arm feeling engendered toward their Height *rs. i'l e B os ! rs included on their tup !\*.*ry trade -mi bi -incss. and h •; out not icav. tlie pi Inters »«re w represented. The News n bell, of the 1 m-s men and people of S gent, fee sa.e' in assuring the visitors the reciprocal j spirit, and predicts quite and influx of our people into that town during the Festival. It is with sincere pleasure we take our typewriter in hand to write a few lines to let our esteemed contemporary,! Editor Burleigh, of the Loup City i Northwestern, who sat in the grand stand yesterday p. m., know that he has our deepest sympathy be cause of tire way the Sargent nine j “kicked the Loup City ball team aroun’.” With every attitude of dis tinguished consideration, we admit j the job was well done; and wish to j offer him the consoling thought that | it might have been even worse. The game was a real battle up to the eighth inning when the baloon | went up. It opened with Gilbert on the mound for Loup City, lie is re- j garded as a phenomenon—which I means a better pitcher than they have had—and it was said that he could so juggle the spheroid that it would describe an eccentric curve to to the plate and then return and eat out of his hand. Our sporting editor lias no doubt that this is true. But manager Brown's colts never gave him a look-in for his white alley. They batted him in regular percision throughout the game. The score be ing 7 to 4 in favor of Sargent—Sar gent News. Believes in Newspapers Fremont Banker, an Expert in Ad vertising The following taken from the Yankton Press and Dakotan news paper, shows that E. R. Gurney has full faith that newspaper advertising discounts all other forms of publicity. "The wisest man who ever ad dressed the Monday Noon club is E. U. Gurney, of Fremont, Neb., at least he made the wisest statement ever made before the club. He said: "I have tried all kinds of advertings. bill board circulars, theatre programs and everything else, but I have never secured as good results for so little money as I have from the newspapers. A city cannot be built up without their assistance nor can the citizens of any town be fully successful but by the liberal use of their space.” Mr. Gurney is in: rested hi many lines of trade and i- .so successful, that lie is rated close to a mill, auire. He not only made a wise speech but he knew absolutely by personal ex perienc what he was talking about.” Newspaper Changes Two newspaper changes of moment have occured the past week in this part of Uncle Sam’s domain Thos. Wright resigning the editorship of tiie St. Paul Republican and goes back to Ansley, a gentleman named Fred L. Hilman of Oklahoma takes bis place on the Republican, while Sorm Parks turns the Broken Bow Republican back to its former pre* proprietor, D. M. Amsberry and goes to Los Angeles.

(Special telegram to the Bee) The baying and barking of a dog weut over the town of Ravenna early Saturday morning and awoke the citizens of that place to the most disastrous tire it has had in years. The howl of a bull dog coming from a clothing store called the attention of th ■ store owner. F. S. Lovitt to smoke' curling from the doors and wind ws. Mingled with the canine’s cry was the crackling and spluttering of embers. It was 1 o'clock when the blaze was discovered and before the citizens could stop the flames the stock of the store, valued at $12,000, was entirely destroyed and the brick store, owned by Frank H&vlik, was badly damaged. The adjoining room was occupied by Frank C. Moore and company, fur niture dealers. It was much dam aged by smoke and heat and many pianos and other pieces of furniture suffered damage. The bull dog owned by Frank Howard, was proclaimed a hero and made known his appreciation by a vigorous wagging of his stubby tail. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT 1 Mary, 7-Year-Old Daughter of W. T. Baird, Falls From Top of Windmill Last Thursday, while playing about the home. Mary, the little daughter | of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Baird, being of an adventurous turn of mind, or rather, we may term it, being in quisitive. elimbed to the top of the I windmill, from which she either fell or was knocked off by the fan, falling to the ground below. Underneath j was a wire line, which she evidently struck in falling, thus breaking the force of the fall and saving her life, though no one saw her perilous climb | nor subsequent fall, and the first known of it was when the little tot walked into the house telling her1 mother about the accident. Thej frightened mother took her to a j physician, who found that beyond a few slight bruises and discoloration j on the body and a scratch on the face, the little girl had sustained no harm. It was surely an almost miraculous escape from death. Arabs Arrested Out on Bail On information tiled, accusing the Arab, t’arrah Ayoub. and his associ ates with tiie crime of arson, arrising from the fire in tiie store of the Arabs at Ashton, Sheriff Williams went to Ashton Monday and brought them to Loup City for hearing. County Judge Smith, when accused were brought before him, set the prelimi nay hearing for the 19th instant, they giving bail in the sum of $300 each for their appearance. On tiie night of Saturday, July 20, about 12 o'clock, passers-by found said store of the Arabs on fire, forced open the doors and put out the blaze before much damage was done. According to re ports, oil had been poured very gener ously around, the window curtains nailed down, keys bent in the locks, lighted fuses scattered around, and e>ery evidence of incendiarism shown. A goodly insurance was on the con tents of the store and attempts had been made to put on more insurance the day preceding the fire. The com panies carrying the risks came on and settledtheirclaims.it is alleged, by returning the premiums and cancel ling tiie policies. Latter the state fire warden came on and took up the matter, which has resulted in the in formation and arrest as above re lated. It is not in the province of the Northwestern to say anything prejudicial in regard to the affair, and will be content w ith stating the facts as above. We will give the history of the trial and subsequent events as they may occur. Death of Andy Gray J ust before noon yesterday (Wednes day. August 14) after a number of months of acute suffering from can cer, and several operations in the vain attempt to take the affection from his system, Andrew Gray, one of the best known men in Sherman county and one of the oldest citizens, finally yielded up his life, the direct cause being the reaching the can cer to the jugular vein, which caused him to bleed to death and fifteen minutes after the disease reached the vein deatii had ensued and ins poor diseased, and pain-racked body was at rest. We have not at tins time, nor will have in time for this issue the history of his life, but the writer, who lias been a close friend of deceased for the past eight years, wishes to bear testimony of the worth of Andy Gray as a man whose friendship was a precious jewel, a man worth knowing, honest, conscientious and scrupulous in all hisdealings, and in whose death we feel a distinct personal loss.
