HAVEST FESTIVAL,
BIG CROWDS,
AND BIG TIMES.
Ti>e Harvest Festival last week
Wednesday. Thursday and Friday,
was a pronounced success as to
crowds, interest, good behavior and
fun unlimited. The committee hav
ing tiie Festival in charge worked un
ceasinginglv to the end that the peo
ple might have the full benefit of a
program of various kinds interspersed
between the hours of noon and late
evening, and there was no hitch at
any time, but all went merry as a
marriage bell. The days were ideal
for such a celebration, there being no
rain, little wind, clear weather, and i
not an hour of the time of the three
days w lien the people could not be
upon the streets taking in every form
of amusement and good time. One
of Lite most enjoyable tilings of all was
that not even a pinch of confetti
was throw around or used during the
Festival, which is one of tiie greatest
nuisances ever thought of for such
days.
At an early liour on the morning of
the first day. the amusement plat-|
forms and concessions having all been j
erected and put in place the day be
fore, crowds began arriving and by
noon the city ha i put on a g ala ; -,
pearance second to no other firs', c .
celebration ever given in this city.
and by night immense crowds It- a
various Low ns and the county at jai
iiad gathered w ith the townspeople j
in having a jubi ee.
Kach day was given twice, after
Doon and evening, the sensational
smithsoo high bicycle stunt, Mr.
smiUisoo starting on his bicycle from
a p atform fort) icet high at its apex
and riding down the incline, the
bicycle and man making a flying leap!
acr ’is space sc me 20 feet on to another !
p reform. at night ti e lower platform
b ug sat-, rab-d w ith gasoline, set fire
U and into the flames of which the I
ri .i r and vehicle piuDgcd from tiie
end of the first platform, making a
very spectacular scene. Besides this
stunt, each afternoon and eveuing,
tiie Douglass', acrobats, the Wrights,
in their Roman ring and cradle act
and trape/e performers and other
vaudeville performances were given,
twsides a very creditable wrestling
’■natch each evening, the first night
between ones Weaver and Miller, in
which Miller won: the second evening
between Weaver and Rogers, in which
Weaver won. and Uie third night be
tween Weaver and Rogers, again,
wlien Rogers won. As the platform
on which the wrestling stunts were
given was only about shoulder high
and hand reds crowded around to see,
; ik was not, pusii’uie ior more tnan a
paucity of number to see the wrest
ling with any satisfactory result.
On the afternoon of each day there
w as given a luse ball game at Jenner's
l*ark tl.au d-ew something like a
’thousand people U) each game and
each was reported most exciting and
interesting. The first game was be
* tween Loup C ity and Rockville, which
was. as expected would be. won by
Rockville with a score of 15 to 8.
Loup City lias a really good buncli of
• players, but it seems liave been hoo
dooed all the season and have been
i unable to win but a very few games
this base tail year. All sorts of
reasons are given therefor, but the
: main one api>ears to be that the boys
van not or do not take sufficient time
to practice. The second day. Sargent
carried off the sca>ps of the Ravenna
nine in a hard fought battle by a score
[of T to <!. On the third day. Arcadia
got the best of their old enemy. Ord.
by a * to •>core. in a splendid game.
On tlie second day of the Festival.
f»rauc i>.and. with a big excuasijr
train and crowd of over 2a0 arrhec
about II a. m.. anti if you ever saw
la Grand island bunch out for a time,
jyou may know that the town was
"took" when they came. They were a
joyous bunch and seemed to have a
good time every minute of the hours
! they were here till their departure
about ~ o'clock in the evening. They
were headed by that prince of fellows.
Ed. Brown, of tue Dolan Fruit Co..
Secretary Conners of the Commercial
Club. Bro. Beuchler of the Independ
ent: Edward It. Butler traveling
agent of the C. & X, \V. Ry.; W. P
! if ton. traveling freight agentof the
nion Pacific and its branches, and
.other leading lights, who graced our
sanctum with their presence and
used the editorial easy chair at their
leisure.
Also on that day, Ravenna sent up
some twenty-five auto loads of boost
ers who tried to make Ravenna win
i ners in the game with Sargent, but
who. failing, still wore the genial Ra
1 v«nna smile, accumulated from the
handsome countenance of Bro. Cass
of the News, who came along to
cbaperooe the bunch and keep them
in line. This was the first time in
over a quarter of a century that he
has visited Loup City and was sur
prised to see so fine a city grown from
the few scattering houses he saw
then.
Ashton not to be outdone by the
other villages and towns, was on hand
with a big bnnoh on all days, but es
pecially on the second day, General
Polski. Col. Jarnrog and Surgeon
Wanek having charge of the army
from that village.
Litchfield was another village that
sent a big delegation on the second
day. Uncle Sam Gibson, Make-em-well
Cording and others coming along to
keep check on their<exhuberance.
For a wonder, Arcadia did not
make good with their usual hundreds
to swell the crowds as on former oc
cassions, hut that was explained by
the fact that the people were feeling
somewhat ungracious because the
Festival was held on two of their
Chautauqua days, which they choose
to consider an affront, but which for
a fact was unwaranted so far as the
Festival being put on those days,
no desire being expressed or thought
to discredit their Chautauqua enter
tainment.
Sargent and Comstock both sent
large delegations to the Festival,
t ic or er '< iciing Editor Gorcv n of
t: Xew» u ok aft er the conduct of
: • -tiw .s o- *ri. r.tr >nt.
i o. or ,r.\ 1 erriman of
t t ih it. j: i 10. Davis of
. ■ -our lal and ether iiaudsome fel
lows. came Friday with a oig line of
autos tilled with Ord boners fcr
their fair, which is on this week, and
of course the jolly bunch were
given the usually royal welcome.
Music? Well, yes. Loup City's
splendid band, assisted by members
of the Ashton band, just would not
let the air have any rest hardly night
or day and kept the atmospl re mov
ing with the swtetest of sera, . Or
the second day, the Grand Island .tatid
came with the excursion aud they
helped in grand style to m.,.ce a
musical jubilee, and Ord brought
along its band which is second to
none in this section, ant, it also tilled
the air with melody. Music? Well,
we should say. And it was mighty
good. too.
Well, all things must have an tnd,
but for a certainty Loup City went
some when they haa live days of
Chautauqua and three days of Har
vest Festival in rapid “concussion",
and probably it will be some time
before the city will agt in be turned
over to intellectual and amusement
feature for seven days contiuaul go.
But really it was worth the while.
Auto Turns Turtle
Chas. Wharton Hurt
Last Tuesday morning about 10
o'clock while Charley Wharton was
taking a tombstone man in an auto
to Wiggle Creek, and when near the
Chas. Snyder farm, and while going
up hill, he attempted to change from
high to low, with the result that the
auto brakes tailing to work, the ma
chine backed down the grade and off
into a ditch by the side of the road,
turning turtle and pinning Mr. Whar
ton underneath. The tombstone man
jumped as the car went backward
and escaped unhurt tie hastened to
the scene and succeeded in dragging
the imprisoned man from beneath
the auto, where lie lay with the gas
oline saturating his clothing. Luckily
no tire started from the accident, else
we might have had to report fatali
ties, as it was, however, Chauffer
Wharton escaped with severe con
tusions on the side of his face, a
...ily* bruised foot and back and
-i o- Id-. su v from tl,e machine fall
g ! 1 A phone to town
*at out t han't er Schuman, who
the tombstone man into
-own, while Wliartou set red the ser
vices of a farmer aud team, who
dragged the auto up into the road,
righted it and Mr. Wharton drove it
back to tow n about the middle of the
afternoon. ’ It was a fortunate es
cape from serious results.
W. S. Waite’s Baby
Breaks Right t¥rist
While pla.. ing about the home last
Friday morning, the baby boy of W.
£>• Wait fell, while hanging to a grape
vine, in such a manner as to break
the right wrist. Dr. Main was called
and attended the injured little one.
W. D. Zimmerman now occupies
the cozy little nook made in the east
side of the Young barber building for
his real estate office. The dandy
room a few feet in width and extend
ing the full length of the building
was originally intended for a cigar
stand to be run by T. A. Taylor, but
he not desiring it Mr. Zimmerman
captured the same and has really one
of the nicest little real estate rooms
in the city.

New Steel Bridge
Across The Loup
Active operations began Monday
morning on the construction of the
new steel bridge across the Loup
river west of this city, bv the Stand
ard Bridge Co. The question of the
exact location of th* new bridge hav
ing been discus d pro and con. to a
greater or less extent, the bridge
committee of the county board sub
mitted the matter to the Commercial
Club of this city for recommendation,
saving they would place the bridge
where the Club gave a concensus of
i opinion it should be. What was de
I sired was if possible that the tempo
rary bridge now in place across the
river at that point should be kept
open to travel till the new bridge was
completed and in view of that several
auto loads of Commercial Club mem
bers went out to the river to see if
that could be done. After viewing
the situation last Saturday morning,
they adjourned to the club room,
where the matter was threshed out.
the opinion prevailing that the bridge
should be placed as nearly as possible
on a line east and west, yet following
the centre of the section road line
and the club so reconmmended. It i
was thought the present bridge was !
not in the correct place, w hich was
far enough north to allow of the new
bridge being put in wi;hout disturb
.rig ; he old or. ge. or closing it w>:
; \ .• . However, the state engineer,
vi .0 is here directing the building oi
; ; bridge, found upon using his in
st.unsents that afternoon that the
present bridge was practically in the
right place, and that in building of
t j new >teel structure the old frame
affair would have to be closed to
travel immediately, torn away, and
the new bridge erected on the site of
the old. It is claimed that it will
taae from three to four months to
complete trie new bridge, so that our
farmer friends on the west side must
perior \ come tc town o\. r the south
bridge till ; orlia :s the t > of nex:
January, or unt 1 t ie firs: of thi?
coming Decei; . r a. the vt e lie
time, jut when he structure is eom
pieted they wiii have one of the finest
steel bridges for their convenience
ever buiided over the Middle Loup.
It is too bad that they should have to
submit; to the present inconvenience
but they will feel amplv repaid when
they are finally using the new and up
to-date steel bridge now being put in.

formerly residents of Vinton, Iowa,
where they and Mrs. Reynolds were
friends over thirty years ago and had
