The wrestling game a Lincoln is'
showing some surprises. Some few
weeks ago, Robinson, the welter
weight, who had made visits to Loup
City in the mat game, and gained
many friends, was a couple of weeks
ago laid low by Keegan, the light
weight champion of the United
States. About ten days ago, Daily,
a comparatively unknown Nebraska
boy, met Keegan in Lincoln and
downed the champion. Last Friday
at the Oliver, Robinson tried conclu
sions with Daily and after ninety
minutes of the hardest fought gnme
ever held in Lincoln, threw Robinson
heavily on the chin, causing uncon
sciousness and was declared winner.
It was thought that but for the
accident to Robinson, the latter had
a good chance of winning. Of course
Keepan was not satisfied with his
defeat and will try Daily again, and
Rooinson thinks that but for the ac
cident he could have downed Daily,
and that he was not just physically
right when he met Keegan, so there
is liable to be some more very streni>
ous mat affairs at the capitol in the
near future.
There is gossip in Washington to
the effect that Senator Hitchcock, of
this state, is to be given an appoint
ment as ambassador to Germany,
under the Wilson administration If
this should be done his successor
would be chosen by the present legis
lature, which is democratic on joint
ballot, and it is quite likely that
former Governor Shellenberger would
land the position. The political
wiseacres have it figured out that in
this way the trouble between the
Bryan and the Omaha factions of
democracy will be patched up, and
there will be less trouble arising from
the question of which faction shall
have the say in the distribution of
federal appointments.—Ravenna

Cupid’s Cute
Pretty Pranks
On February 6th, Ira M. Fletcher,
aged 19 years, and Miss Katherine H.
Steele, age«l 16 years, both of Rock
ville. Neb., appeared at the county
judge's office and procured a license
to marry, and judging by the ministe
rial aspect of his honor that he could
tie a couple up in a fine cupid knot,
got that urbane official to adjust the
matrimonial noose, As the young
people were not of the legal age that
allowed them to contract that life
lease, the parental authorities made
up for the lack of it and gave the
necessary consent.
On February 8th, George Kintzler
of Custer county and Miss Ida M.
Weber of Litchfield, Neb., applied to
County Judge Smith for his sanction
and the necessary documentsallowing
them to join their fortunes in wed

leading German farmers of Harrison
township.
Warren lWller
Finds Easy Victim
The wrestling match Tuesday even
ing at the new opera house, between
our local pride, Warren Miller
and Mark Bly, a Lincoln wrestler,
was the softest snap Warren has
yet found. It only took three min
utes for Warren to pin Bly
to the mat in the first round,
with a half nelson and crotch hold,
while in the second go, he took eight
minutes of play before he let Bly
down with a hammerlock and half
nelson, which he could easily have
done in less than half the time, had
it not been his desire to give those
present some more return for their
money. To the credit of Mr. Bly be
it said that he informed the writes
that he had not been training much
of late, his studies at the University
being of much more moment than
training, he studying for a pharma
cist. Also he had hurt a knee of late
and was not inclined to injure that
member by too strenuous work. He
remarked, however, that Mr. Miller
was a wonder and that he had no
ctarmc from the first, giving the big
man credit for being a' mighty good
one. ATterttiemain wrestle, Warren
and his brother, Clarence, gave a fif
teen to twenty minutes exhibition,
which was pleasing, while preceding
that Miller had showm some of the
training stunte which ha ve made
him the muscular glant he has de
veloped into.

Development
of Interest in the
v • • /;$
Northwestern’s
Voting Contest
Hundreds of Votes Have
Been Received for
the Different Can
didates
. i j .
To say that the Northwestern’s Au
tomobile Voting Contest is starting
better than we expected, is to state
the matter mildly. Quite a number
of votes have beeir sent in for the
different candidates, living in differ
ent parts of the county, which shows
that their friends are beginning to
take an interest ip them at the very
start. All in all,.this Is going to be
one of the biggest contests ever con
ducted in this section of the state.
A number of questions have been
asked of the Contest Department, so
we will endeavor to explain. One
candidate wanted to know if she col
lected any money irom a subscriber
who is now taking the Northwestern
would she receive ‘any votes? Our
schedule of votes' covers ioth renewal
and new subscriptions secured. It is
the amount of money collected from
each individual that regulates the
amount of votes secured.
Also, there is at, separate ballot is
sued for every-, subscription turned
into this office,I so tliat the exact
amount of votes given for each sub
scription is indicated on the ballot.
Another advantage gained is, the
candidates who are working can se
cure a list of our subscribers in what
ever part of the county they wisli to
work, by letting’ the Contest Mana
ger know. This*list is given out with
the understanding that the candi
dates use it to further their campaign
and is tp be treated confidential. We
are willing to assist the candidates in
every way possible, and sending out
list of subscribers will be a help to
them, for the date following each
name shows wheBe the subscriber is
paid to. There is no limit to your
territory, or how many you- wish to
work for you/ It is the wise candi
date^ who starts their campaign now,
who will be among the winning class
1 when the final count is reached. All
votes desired counted should be sent
so they will reach lis not later than
Wednesday evening of each week,
when they will be in time to be
counted in the following issue. Wre
request the candidates to call on us
for any information lists, etc., for
we will be glad to .assist them in this
campaign for the automobile. ‘

University Notes
The examinations are over and a
new semester began Feb. 3.
C. L. Rein has been elected editor
in-chief of the Daily Nebraskan for
this semester. The position carries
with it a salary of twenty-live dol
lars a month.
Edwin Ohlsen has won a place on
the University rifle team.
A few of the Loup City students
called and offered their best wishes
to Represenative Trumbull of Sher
man county.
Chris Sorensen was recently initiat
ed into the Phi Alpha Tan, an honor
ary, public speaking society.
Whether or not the University
should be moved to the State Farm,
is the big question now being dis
cussed by the students. The Board
of Regents and the Chancellor have
declared themselves in favor of re
moval. The students are divided on
the proposition.
Additional Local
Uncle Charley French was quite ill
the latter part of last week, but was
up and around again the first of the
week.
T. C. Wilson of Ashton and Ed Oltr
mann of Schaupps each shipped a car
of hops to South Omaha this week,
returning home last evening.
Lou Schwaner, the jeweler, is kept
busy these days with repair work
along his line. Our people know a
good thing when they see it, and
when they once go to him for clock
or watch repairs they go again, when
they want work done right.
The protracted services at the M.
E. church, with Rev. C, S. Hawley,
pastor of the M. E. church at Afm:i,
Nebr., and secretary of this confer
ence, in charge for this week, is draw
ing good houses and those in attend
ance pronounce his sermons of the
best and the interest on the increase.
Tuesday evening, the main auditorium
was well filled and close attention was
given the words of Mr. Hawley, who
proves to be a speaker of goodly pres
ence and an earnest worker in the
Master’s vineyard. Go and hear him.
Monday afternoon of this week,
M4yor H. W. Pedler, accompanied by
his physician, Dr. A. E. Longacre,
went to Grand Island for an opera
tion for appendicitis. The operation
took place Tuesday forenoon, but
reports reached here that evening
that the patient was in quite a
serious condition following the
surgeon’s knife. J. S. Pedler went
down to Grand Island Tuesday morn
ing to be present with his brother.
Word this morning is to the effect
that the crisis is past and he is get-'
ting along nicely.
Last week Wednesday night, Mrs.
Frank Cridel, who is teaching in
District.41,'and boarding at the home
of S. D. Lewandowski, was found by
members of the family stretched on
the floor of her room in an uncon
scious condition. A noise of a fall
was heard from her room causing an
investigation resulting as above. She
was picked up and placed on the bed,
where for a time she was apparently
dead, but later became conscious, and j
[ at the present time is apparently
back in her usual health. She only
remembers that she attempted to get
up and all the rest was blank till she
found herself in bed with the family
gathered around her.
WHAT SURPRISED HIM.
“I suppose," said the interviewer, !
“you have found many surprising !
things in our country."
“Yes," replied the distinguished for
eigner, “1 shall freely confess that I
have.”
"Would you mind telling me for pub
lication what particularr thing sur
prised you most?"
“Not at all, my boy, not at all. One
thing that has surprised me is the fact
that few of your people can spell, tut
that is not what has most surprised
me."
"What, if I may ask, has caused you
most surprise?”
“I have said that I have been sur
prised to find that few of your people
know how to read. The thing that
has most surprised me, Is that inabil
ity to spell appears to be regarded as
a mark of distinction. Most of your
people beast about their ignorance in
this particular."
_
,
Affinities.
The dapper little ribbon clerk gazed
languishingly into the dark eyes of
the handsome brunette waitress.
“Isn’t it wonderful,” he gurgled,
“how opposites seem to be attracted
! to each other?"
“It sure is,” agreed the beauty. “I
noticed only today that the tallest
man at the lunch counter ordered
short-cake.”—Lippincott's.

In the club they were comparing the
.■esourcefulness of their wives in diffi
cult social situations. The man who
lives in a Harlem flat had been a good
listener, but he finally found an open
ing.
“Y«£,” said he, “my wife isn’t bad at
that sort of thing. We were having
some people to luncheon on Sunday
last spring, and just at an hour when
all the delicatessens were closed she
discovered that she needed some mus
tard and didn’t have a grain of it in
the kitchen. And she isn’t the sort
that will borrow’ from people nest
door that she doesn’t know T* was
a bad fix, all right But she got mus
tard enough.”
“Went to the delicatessen man’s
house and routed him out, I suppose?"
suggested a member from the Bronx.
“Not much. ' Just went to the medi
cine closet, got down a box o' ready
made mustard plasters, put ’em to
soak, and squeezed enough cf the hot
Btuff off.”
“Good night,” said the man from the
Bronx.
PROOF POSITIVE.
<s,
Bronson—I noticed your wife sitting
by the window sewing this morning.
I thought you told me yesterday she
was ill.
Woodson—So she was, but today
eho's on the mend.

A Chronic Complaint.
A man today
Is seldom met.
Who doesn't say,
"I’m deep In debt.”
An Advantage.
"You think it is better to have for
elgn waiters?”
“Yes,” replied the thick skinned
man. “I realized it this evening.
When I gave a waiter a lead half dol
lar he thanked me in English and later
expressed his opinion in a language
which, fortunately, I could not under
stand.”
All the Luxuries.
--'“In our country poor people have;
luxuries. They wear good clothes and;
you will frequently see them at the:
theater sitting in seats just as good ■
»s those of the rich.”
“Sure. I know a landlady who
bought her daughter a minor count
