W Dougal Offce First Floor, 4 doors south of Btate Bank Building Postoffice Fight Nicely Warming Up Up to the present time, the North western lias had nothing to say in re gard to the tight going on in Loup City over the postmastership. We had hoped that L>. C. Grow would re ceive a re-appointment, as he lias made a most excellent Nasby, and one who lias received the highest praise from ouf people in their entirety, without regard to party all hoping for his endorsement at the hands of of the powers at Washington. It is true, lie had wished for another term and friends in all parties had sent in to the president and postoffice depart ment the very highest recommenda tions, but it was not to be, as to the victors belonged the spoils and at least one hungry democrat started in at the rising of the democratic sun, or perhaps before, and before the peo ple realized it, had made energetic demands in the name of democracy!?) for the pie. President Taft, at the call of the people, hud sent in Mr. Grow's name for re-appointment, but tlie senate held it up. democracy wanting the juicy morsel, and pro gressives refusing to join in with the republicans in confirming the nomi nation. Up to a short -time since, only one democrat(V) had made any try for the place, which by common consent and the satisfactory handling of tlie Loup City postoffice was thought would go to tlie present in cumbent. As soon, however, as it was found that a re-appointment of Mr. Grow was out of tlie question, and that Mr. Beusliauseu was active Jy at work to secure the office, pro tests long, loud and deep were heard from every quarter. Letters began to pour in to the powers that be, pro testing against his appointment, and remonstrances liberally signed by democrats on every side were hurried forward. Then the hosts opposing the appointment of Mr. Beush ausen scurried hither and thither to find some true-blue democrat, one who had supported both the state and national tickets without breaking away and giving aid. comfort and sustenance to the republican enemy, upon whom they could uaite and work for appointment as against the candidacy of Mr. Beushausen. Fi nally, Mr. W. D. Zimmerman, a real democrat, and one who had for years supported the party faithfully and well, with both money and personal work, was persuaded to get into the game, and promised to take up the ap pointment if wished. Tlius, then, is the beginning of the democratic war, the work done, and the status of affairs to the present. Whether Mr. Beushausen has the pins so set as to secure the •'ppointment, or whether the adherents of Mr. Zimmerman will be able to win out, is a question yet to be decided. The former has had quite an experience in the political field, having three times been a can didate for county clerk, twice suc cessful; once losing out as a candidate for State Land Commissioner; again losing out as a candidate for elector from this district; for several years chairman of the county demo cratic central committee, and at times candidate for minor offices, while Mr. Zimmerman has never held offlae, never before has been an aspirant, and is without the perennial office itch of his competitor and so many other office holders and would-be office hold ers. Of course, us republicans are not supposed to be in it. We are practi cally out of it, save from a sympa thetic vein. Practically ninety-nine per cent or over of the patrons of the Loup City office, without regard to politics, would like the re-appoint ment of Mr. Grow, but as we can’t get that, our sympathies will natu rally be with the one we wish to win. It would not take a powerful micro scope to discern who the people real ly want, if it must be .a democrat, and no very great amount of searching for information to find out. Let us yet hope that the question will be settled by vote of the people. Telephone Numbers Change At this time of the year many of our telephone patrons are moving from one location to another which necessitates a change being made in their telephone number. To aid us in keeping onr list corrected so as to give the best possible service we would ask that all those who move either to or from a house where there Isa telephone, will please call our office telephone No. 77 and give all information as to the changes made. Following is a list of changes and ad ditions that have been made since our last directory was printed. It would be well to attach this list to your directory and refer to it first when looking up a number. Shekmax Couxty Telephone Co. Glenn A. Steven, Manaoeb.

Detect ires are said to be close to the final and conclusive proof and the arrest may be made at any time. Large re wards have been offered by both the county and the railroad authorities. seventeenth Anniversary Last week Wednesday, Feb. 12Ui, at high noon, just as Mr. and Mrs. O. G. Hunt of Webster township were getting ready for dinner, a party of friends drove to the home to tender congratulations over their 17th wed ding anniversary and have a general eats and good time. The worthy couple were taken completely by sur prise, but that did not prevent them from extending a warm welcome. The assembled friends before depart ing made them recipients of choice mementos of the occasion. Those in attendance were: Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Cash, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Douglas, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Kilpatrick, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Shipley, Mr. and Mrs. Will Draper, Mr. and Mrs. Gus Foreman, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Bell and Mr. A. R. Zavgren. Veteran Re-Union • and Campfire Last Wednesday afternoon was the occasion of a joyful re-union and campfire of our remaining old veter ans of the Civil War, of which we gave a few lines last week, but too close to press day for extended men tion. That the occasion was one of much interestand happiness for those in attendance we have only to say that nearly one hundred old soldiers, their families and friends were present, and add the following ex cellent program given at the time: Song—Battle Hymn of the Republic, Earl Shrove Mrs. Angier Lizzie Shrove Comrade Bechthoid Outhouse-Conger Mrs. Larsen Ruby Larsen Judge Wall Bessie Fisher-Martin Mrs. Outhouse Song—Marching Thro’ Georgia All Talk j. w. Long Recitation Bessie Fisher Recitation Earl Shrove Song—America All Recitation Reading Reading Talk Duet Reading Solo Talk Song Reading Wrestling Gaines Last Friday evening at the Oliver in Lincoln, before a crowded house, Keegan, the champion lightweight wrestler of the world, and Daily, the Nebraska lightweight champion wrestled nearly two hours and a half, ending in a draw, said to be the great est mat exhibition ever pulled oif. This coming Saturday night at Dannegrog, our Warren Miller and Morgensen of Lincoln will try con clusions on the mat. Morgensen will be remembered as being laid low by Miller here a few weeks ago. He has since been training under Farmer Burns. After the wrestle, Morgen sen will come home with Warren and the two will train here for a season. Fanners, Attention Now is the time to start the in cubators to produce those early hatched, high priced broilers. Eggs set right now will make fine broilers by May 1st to 15t, worth from fifty to seventy-five cents each. We will guarantee a price of twenty-one cents per pound from April 1st to June 1st, for broilers weighing from 1 1-2 lbs to 2 1-4 lbs. The price will probably be several cents higher than this, all depending on the weather, but the above is a guaranteed price and we will pay more than twenty-one cents if the market will allow us to do so.

Brings Suit For 73 Cents Probably the smallest sum Involved in a suit at law in the courts of Valiev county is the one brought by A. Nor man, against Mr. Simons, the man in charge of the Zevitz bankrupt stock. The case grew out of a disagree ment over the paying for a sweater for a small child in the Norman house hold. Mrs. Norman bought the sweater paid 73 cents. She claims that it was with the understanding that, if it did not lit, she might re turn the article and have her money back. This part of the deal is denied by Mr. Simons. Without going into further details the article was sent back to the store and Mr. Simons offered to exchange for anything else in the store, but not to refund money, which is against his principles in doing business. The result was a visit from Mr. Norman, who demanded his 73 cents, and did not get the coveted sum. Whereupon he swore out a complaint and suit was duly commenced to get back the pennies. The case was to come up in Judge Gudmundsen's court yesterday and Mr. Simons was on hand to defend his case without legal assistance. Mr. Norman decided that lie was not yet ready for trial and asked a continu ance which was granted and the case will come up next Saturday. If the case goes to trial at all we are predicting some fun. It is barely possible that Norman has caught a Tartar_Ord Quiz. Will Try To In duce the U. P. The Leader has received informa tion which seems to be quite reliable, that the Union Pacific railroad will be importuned very strongly to ex tend their Loup City or Ord lines northwestward. The proposition, as It will be presented by some of the prominent citizens of Milburn pre tinct, is to have the Loup City brand) extended through Westerville, up the Clear Creek valley, touch the Loup valley near Walworth and thence fol low the river to Dunning and connect the branch from Stapleton, which also is to be o«*^ded. The other proposition is W extend the Ord Branch west through the wealthy Mira valley, pass through Sargent and then take a westerly course made by the broad valley of the Loup river. A number of the prominent farmers In the Milburn district, it is said, have received invitations to be pre sent at Omaha the coming Monday to meet the officials of the Union Paci fic, who will come from New York to bear their story and look into the statistical reports which the gentle men from Milburn have prepared. It is also said that two townsites have been offered the company and that a bonus will be forthcoming at my time the company is disposed to iccept their propositions. The letters from the company received by one of the citizens, who has been in com munication for sometime, are very assuring and convey the impression that the company is willing to build into new territory whenever enough business is pledged, in which case the Milburn people seem to think that they have the volume necessary to induce the extension of the rail road. With the prospect of two railroads being built through this part of the ooanty and the big power project at Doris under serious consideration, it seems that the north part of Custer county should witness some wonder fully large developments. The power project is intended to generate elec tric energy for both lighting aild pow er purposes, which, when completed, will undoubtly attract manufactories of all kinds. At the present time there are no attractions for the in vestor in manufacturing lines for the reason that cheap power is not to be obtained, steam coal being almost prohibitive in price, while gasoline and oil is taking upward steps at too frequent instances_Sargent Leader. Girls Assaulted and Kicked As two young women, students at the Normal school, were going from the Methodist church to the dormi tory at about nine o’clock they were grabbed by two men near the normal school Sunday night. One of the girls broke loose and ran, but the other girl was not so fortunate and she was roughly handled by her as sailant, who struck and kicked her, and she was severely bruised by the kicking. The screams of the young woman frightened the men who dis appeared before assistance arrived. The men wore masks, and one was a short fellow and the other much taller. A police officer could not be found and Mayor Patterson was called over the phone and aroused day police man Pickerel, who was at home in bed who found Policeman Smith, but when they reached the scene at ten o’clock no trace of the men could be found.—Kearney Democrat.
