Art—it ^

such as the Chautauqua audience—
that wants and insists upon the best—
the cleanest—the most wholesome.
He has presented his character do

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

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

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

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

Fred L. Hilman of Oklahoma takes

Sorm Parks turns the Broken Bow

proprietor, D. M. Amsberry and goes
to Los Angeles.

DISASTROUS FIRE
IN RAVENNA
Barking BnH Dog Arouses the
Town
Ravenna, Neb.. Aug. 11. (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. The funeral will take
