South Dakota, across Nebraska to the Gulf. The proposed new line is called the Midland Continental Railroad Company. It is already in-! corporated in Soutii Dakota, and has now tiled articles of incorporation in Nebraska. The company has a capi tal stock of #250,000 and proposes to build a line from Boyd county on the north line of this state to Smith Cen ter. Kansas. The directors are Her bert S. Duncombe, Joseph D. Small, VV. E. Jenkins. E. J. MoHn, E. G. Mc Gilton and Frank H. Gains, the two latter being Omaha men, McGtiton being formerly lieutenant governor, while Jenkins is the Englishman who is at ttie head of the exploited Canada to-the-Gulf road through Kearney. The proposed route of the company, according to published reports, may be either of two, according to its arti cles, south through Boyd, Holt, eitb W heeler or Greeley, Sherman or How ard, Buffalo or Hall, Kearney or Adams, Franklin or Webster, to Smith Center, Kansas. Wonder if it might notjbe another name for or in connection with the Carrington-Kear ney-Beloit-Galveston proposed line? If sc, it looks as though Mr. Jenkins was pulling two strings to make the air line towns from Kearney to Car rington sit up and get action in case bonds were asked of these towns. Christmas Exercises At the Churches At the Swedish Christian church in excellent program was given on Christmas Eve, a number of the scholars deserving great credit for singing and distinct speaking. Some handsome booklets were given those an attendance on the Sunday school faithfully during the year. At the Presbyterian church there were speeialy prepared Christmas ser vices last Sunday evening, the regular Christmas program coming Tuesday evening with a short cantata, exer ■ a eises by the school and distribution * tion of candy to scholars, a large au dience being present. Austin also had a nice Christmas entertainment ^ the same evening. The Christmas exercises by our Methodist friends occurred in their church last Sunday morning and evening, a new innovation here. Sun day morning there were special Chris mas exercises in the way of music and especially prepared sermon, a large congregation present, and at the close of Sunday school followed distribution of treats to the children. In the evening the Sunday school, as sisted by the choir, gave a nice pro gram of music, recitations, dialogues, inarches, etc., the church filled to overflowing.

Vauhs. i Might Have Lost an Eye Last $a*kf&S ^Mtmuoon as Mr. .lohn Shiner, who recently moved to Loup City from Iowa, was passing the Keystone Lumber Co.’s office, on his way to his home in the northwest part of tlie city, accompanied by his 12-yeir-old daughter, Paulina the girl was struck in the left eye with a piece of metal or a shot, probably from a sling shot or air riflle, making a puncture in the loWer lid, which had the eye bees struck a quarter of an inch higher must have resulted in the loss of the sight. However, as it was, Mr. Sinner took the little girl to the office of the Dr. Bowman, who dressed the eye and think no serious conse quences will follow. As we under stand it, there is an ordinance making a line of $10 against anyone using an air rifle or a “nigger shooter” (sling shot) within the corporate limits of the city, and If the injury was re cMsed from either id these, it Is to be hoped the culprit may be brought to time. We bare noticed too many of our small boys lately with the dead ly little “nigger shootua.” and have taken occasion to admonish the boys about them, and thdfr danger, and have been ekpectlng'ere thfct to bear of some accident ffqm their use. It is to be hoped 1f the. accident to the little girl resulted from one of these, that the boys will destroy these sense-; less affairs so that no more accidents may result. Charley Wharton in Big Fire at Lead, SJ>. News lias been received here that Charley Wharton was in a big fire at Lead, S. D., on the 14th instant, bare ly escaping with his life and losing his trunk and all his clothes,save one suit of every day wear. He was working in an undertaxing establish ment with rooming house above, and’ was just getting ready for bed, when there was an alarm of tire in tlie building and so quickly did the flames spread that all had only time to get out themselves, without chance of saving any of their belongings. The fire was of incendiary origin, and the whole structure was destroyed. No fatalities, although some injured in jumping from upper windows. The Loup City Mill has shipped in another car of coru and are putting out a tine quality of corn meal and ground corn.

Sporting Department The big wrestling match at Lincoln last week Wednesday resulted in Kee gan, the champion lightweight of the world, winning over Robinson, the Mate Champion welterweight, in two straight falls, both times with the scissors .and bar arm holds, Time, 44% and 14% minutes. While the re sult was not unexpeted, yet the many friends made by Ross Robinson in his visits here could have wished other wise. The wrestling match to be held in tills city last week between Lee Scoot of Ansley and Joe Stecker of Dodge failed to materialize. At a late mo ment Scott found ha could not be here the dated Tuesday night and a later date of Friday night was fixed bub this tame it was Stecker who had otber dates to fill.

The boxing match at Grand Island last Thursday night between McCar thy of Ravenna and Montana Jack Sullivan of O’Neill, a 10-round go, re salted in a draw, with both men In good shapi to go on. M. C. Mulick and Fritz Bicliel went down from here to see the fun and were well re paid in witnessing one of the clever est bouts ever pulled off in the state. A $700 to $800 house greeted the fight. Tiiey will meet again about the mid dle of January at Ravenua to try conclusions and quite a number pro pose attending from here. Sullivan is a past master in the art, with sev eral years’ experience and. in the past, up againt top notchers, but the Ra venna boy is the fastest youngster he has run up against, and it is confi dently expected McCarthy will take Sullivan’s measure the next time they meet. Burlington Won i Case Appealed In the suit brought by the Burling ton against Carl Rudolph for collec tion of llti.80, the "particulars of which were’given in this paper (and in the Northwestern) last weeK, the Burlington was given a judgment for the amount %by J udge Peterson last Thursday. The law is such that J udge Peterson found no way of de ciding otherwise, there having been a number of cases like this in the state. The railway company claims that it is liable under the law to prosecution for rebating it it does not press suit for collection where there has been an undercharge. Hr.

Kicked by Horse Skull Fractured Last wedk Tuesday evening, about d o’clock as Martin Johnson, an old gentleman of 72 years, living alone with his aged wife some ten miles north of Loup City, was attending to his stock, he was kicked on the right side of his head in front and above the ear, by one of his horses, fracturing tbs skull. His prolonged absence at. the stable alarmed his wife who going out to the barn found the old gentleman lying up against the side of the barn in an unconscious condition. She tried to remove film, but was unable to do so. Leaving him, she went to the home of ber son, and nearest neighbor, Hans Johnson, a mile away, who telephoned for Dr. Main and hurried back ft> the scene of the accident. Thd husband and father was still lyMg in an uncon scious condition Kid was carried to the house and the Wound washed and .cared for the best they knew how. Upon the arrival of Dr. Main an ex amination resulted in finding the skull fractured from just above the cheek bone to an inch and a half above. On Wednesday evening, Dr. Grothan of St. Paul arrived and with Dr. Main operated on the wound,'remov ing the portion of injured bone. Since the operation, the old gentle man has been in a comatose condi tion most of the time, but rousing Friday and Saturday nights with re quests for something to eat, but out side of that seems insensible to pain nor inclined to speak of the accident in any way. Up to Monday he was, still alive, and it may not be known for a time wliat the result may be. Hay For Sale I have some good prairie hay for sale by the ton or in car load iota. Phone 18-on-94. F. E.

Hansel Ready For Parcel Service New System Will Ae Effective January 1st Any Article Nay fee Insured Destructive Stamps Frepaaed For New System Regulations to cover the workings of tba new parcels post system, which is fcogo into operation on January 1st next, were made publldby Postmaster General Hitchcock a few days ago. The new system will be effective throughout the entire postal service at the same time and will effect every postoffice, city, rural and railway mail transportation route in the country. Every precaution will be taken by the postoffice department to have the mails moved with the usual dispatch and all postmasters, superintendents and inspectors have b4en directed to familiarize themselves and tneir sub ordinates with every phase of the newsystem. Mr. Hiidhcock expressed the hope that the public would fa miliarize itself with the nature of the new service before attempting to use it. information will be Available at any postofflce in the country in a few days. The regulations protjde that parcels of merchandise, including farm and factory products (but not books or printed matter) of alhoost every de scription up to eleven pounds in weight and measuring as much as six feet in leDgth and girth combined ex cept those calculated to do injury to the mails in transit, may be mailed at any postofflce in the country. Delivery will be made to the homes of people living on rural and star i routes as well as those living in towns where there is deliver^ by carrier. The postage rate foi the iirst zone, that is, within distances not exceed ing fifty miles, will be 5 cents for the first pound and 3 cents for each ad ditional pound. The rates increase for each succes sive one of the eight zones into which the country is dividfed.'the maximum rate being 12 cents a pound, which will carry a parcel across the continent or even to Alaska o* this Philippines. For a fee of ten cents i parcel may be insured and if a parcel is lost in the mails an indemnity to the amount of its value not to exceed $50 will be paid to the sender. The law provides for the use of distinctive stamps, and there is now being distributed to postmasters for the use in the parcel post system a set of stamps of twelve denominations. Parcel peat maps with accompanying guides are to be sold to the-public at their cost—75 cents—through the chief clerk of the postoffice depart ment. Lucky Escape From Death About cine o’clock Monday night while Mr. Roberta was running the engine at the light plant the engine began balking, the valve kept sticking and Mr. Roberts thing the engine just about dead, and that it would not give another erplosin, so Mr. Roberts not thinking, removed a cap from the waive cage, just then the engine gave another explosion which blew Mr. Roberts about twenty ffeet right out the door, the valve struck Mr. Rob erts.an the thick part of the leg, cut ting a gash about three inches long and quite deep, Mr. Roberts bled a great deal and was unconcious for a short time. The valve which struck him weighed fourteen and a half pounds. Mr. Roberts is getting along as well as could be expected_Arcadia Champion. A Des Moines paper states that two auto delivery wagons have been de ! livered to the postoffice in that city | to go into service with the coming of parcel post on the first of January. Undoubtedly the government, in go ing into the merchandise business, I will require these auto wagons in every city of any importance. An indication of wliat is expected through parcels posts is shown in the fact that Sears Roebuck & Co. of Chicago have made requisition on the Chicago postmaster asking that seventy-five cars be de tailed for the use of their house in handling parcels post after January first. To those who have figured that the country merchant is not going to suffer through this character of legis lation, the way the mail order houses are preparing to use parcels post is a sure indication of what is coming, manipulator of the “talkee” will be secured.
