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.

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.

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:

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.

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.
