Everybody come out and vote for bonds Saturday, to build this school house here Why Not Elect Postmasters Following is taken from a letter! recently sent by Senator Hitchcock to a member of the Sherman county democratic central committee in answer to an inquiry by said gentle man as to Senator Hitchcock’s stand on the question of the election of postmasters of the second class by a vote of the patrons of the postoffices interested. It would seem that the Loup City postmastership would come under the head of ‘•exceptional cases.” As time passes along, we find that instead of only one candi date for this postotlice there is bob bing up several, and as patrons of the office here with hardly an exception are strongly in favor of a primary election to ascertain a choice, it is to be hoped the selection of a Loup City postmaster will be by a vote, rather than otherwise. So far as we have been able to ascertain all the candi dates. save one, perhaps, favor the selection by ballot. Senator Hitch cock says: i snail oniy iavor an election or primary in exceptional cases, where it is impossible to reach a satisfactory decision without it. In such an event, I would recommend that it he confined to democratic voters or those supporting democratic can didates in recent years. ‘•A primary or local election may be of some value or it may be of no value. It is quite possible, for in stance, if there were three candi dates, no one would have a majority and in such a case it would be a mere minority choice and not of great weight. In another case it might be that two candidates were so close together in an election that there would be no great preponderance for one or the other.” Just Like Getting Money From Home Warren Miller went down to Dan nebrog last Saturday night and wres tled Mogensen of Bancroft, Mogen sen going down in one-two fashion be fore Miller in four and eight min utes respectively. Mogensen has been a pupil of Farmer Burns the past few weeks and thought he could get Miller's goat, but the latter had improved so much that wherein it took him some 45 minutes to lay out Mogensen in a former wrestle here a short time ago. Saturday night was just like getting a check from home. Mogensen was to go to Burwell Mon day night and wrestle Ray Wilson, their local pride. That was evidently a nearer even match, and much easier medicine for either than the Miller mixture. “All-of-a-Sudden Peggy” Killed in Auto Accident Our readers who attended the play, “All-of-a- Sudden Peggy” given by the State University dramatic club at the opening of the Daddow opera house on the 27th of last November, will be shock d to learn that Miss Katherine Yates, who took the lead log part of ‘ Peggy” was killed in an automobile accident last week Wed nesday evening in Lincoln, as she was on her way to a play at the Oliver theater. The State Journal of the 20th inst. contains an extended ac count of the awful tragedy. Many of our people met the talented young Lincoln girl at that time and to them especially, the news will come with sincerest of regrets. Good News From Our Friend Rein W. F. Mason a few days ago received the following interesting letter front Louis Rein at the Presbyterian hospital in Chicago, where lie is slow ly, but we believe satisfactorily, re covering his normal seif. As the letter is a breezy, interesting news note from our nervy old friend, we mav be Dardoned, and he can't at this distance help nimself, for pub lishing the main portion of the letter: “Friend Mason: My recovery so far from the operation three weeks ago is complete. At least, the cut in my , back is all healed nicely, except] where it is purposely left open and prevented from healing by drain tubes and gauze packing. Am there fore on my feet again and walk the streets, or rather, crawl a mile each day. But as to the healing and cur ing of the abcess and recovery from it. if any, I am still skeptical. There is still discharge, heat 101, every morning, and weakness all around. I am told that I look and am really in much better shape than when 1 came here, but do not weigh a pound more, nor do I feel any stronger. So, you see. it is all in the looks, and in passing upon looks, and especially those that adorn your humble friend, the verdict is a matter of mere taste. Anyway, we will do the best we can, and keep friendly relations between the boil and the rest of the body family. “Chicago is the greatest city* we have, in its individual caracteristics, initiative and rustle, but it is, at the same time, a smoky, dusty, dirty city and does not offer much in the line of outdoor pleasurable exercises. The sun hardly ever shines, and never like in Loup City. Then it is about as noisy as possible. “But it tries to redeem itself by the frequency ahd quality of its ’beer emporiums’ which become the object ive points of daily walks. ‘Driven to Drink,' for there is no other place to sit down and rest. Even the church es strewn along the streets in full number do not do as much as Peter Hogan’s buffet. corner of Ogden ave nue and Wood, for the halt and weary.” Friend Lou dees not forget in clos ing to send best regards to W. D. Z. Doc, Chase, Burlap, Clint, Moike and the balence of the gang of his best wishing friends. Good old boy. Song of Hope There is a pill for every ache, a salve for every sore, so let’s rejoice and never make a rumpus any more. There is a poultice for each head, for every pain some dope; until the doctors say i e’s dead, no man should give up hope. I knew a man once on a time, who had no store of cash; lie said this world was but a crime, and all its glories trash; and so lie got a neighbor’s axe, and, by the old horse trough, with sundry strong and skil ful whacks he chopped his headpiece off. Next week a lawyer printed ads announcing that this knave had fallen heir to heaps of scads, but he was in his grave. The darkest hour, as Homer said, is just before the dawn; there’s often comfort just ahead, when all the hope seems gone. There is a syrup for each cough, a lance for every boil, so never think to shuttle off some yards of mortal coil. Mis fortune hits us now and then, but if we bravely grin, she’ll go pursuing weaker men, and push their faces in. There is a cure for every wart, a plaster for each corn, so let us like the colts cavort, and laugh our fears ^to scorn—Walt Mason. For a Postoffice Primary Election Loup City, Neb., Feb. 25_Mr. J. YV. Burleigh_Dear Mr. Burleigh: 1 wish to congratulate you in your ef forts to secure a popular election to decide who shall be postmaster here. I am heartily in favor of sucli an elec tion. I, for one, should like to see you go a little farther and advocate preferential voting, so that a major ity and not a minority wo.dd decide this matter. It could not possibly be complicated, when there is only one question to decide, namelv, who shall be our postmaster for the coming four years. Preferential voting is used in the state-wide primaries of Wiscon sin. It will be used under the new primary law passed 'by- the direction of Governor Wilson. It is used to some extent in other states, among them Colorado. L,et me illustrate how preferential ! voting would work. Let us say that the postoffice at Loup City has 800 patrons having the right to vote. There are five candidates running— Burton. Brigham, Schmidt, Rainy and Hall. Each person voting may give his second choice, and most of them do. When the votes are count ed. the result is as follows: 1st 2nd Total Burton.250 56 305 Brigham.214 313 527 Shmidt.211 222 433 Rainy. 65 123 188 Hall. 60 46 106 The first choice votes are canvassed first and show that no one has a ma jority. In fact, Mr. Burton, who has a plurality, has only 30 per cent of the patrons who are willing to see him postmaster. The second choice votes, which are to be canvassed only in case no one receives a majority, are now added to the first choice votes, with the result shown in the total. Now as 800 votes were cast, 591 votes con stitute a majority and Mr. Brigham, wh received 527 votes has a plurality which is a majority of all the votes cast. There are only 273 men who have not voted for Mr. Brigham eith er on first or second choice, and his election would give far greater satis faction than if Mr. Burton had been declared elected on first choice, with only 250 votes. Very respectfully, R. E. Dale, Judge Hostettler Home from Panama Judge Hostetler and wife, and Frank F. Roby and wife, returned last Wednesday from an extended journey through the south, visiting a great many places of interest, but none that gave them so much in structive interest as their visit to the great ocean to ocean canal. Judge Hostetler lias devoted some time to telling us what he saw, but lie is never finished. He thinks the canal, its vast' machinery, the gigantic dredges that remove a car load of earth and stone at a single scoop, the sy m metrical engineering feats, the dis cipllned army of 40,000 or50,000 work men, and the canal is worth the cost for any man or woman to see, and he says nobody can fully understand its magnitude unless they see it. While the weatheronthe isthmus was warm, he says not a mosquito was seen and he never enjoyed such excellent health, both on land and water. He says Mr. Roby always answered when asked on the vessel how lie felt, “Oh I am feeling fine,” but for long periods at a time he was hidden away and looked like a fellow whose dinner hadn’t agreed with him in all its de tails. There is no doubt but the party had the most enjoyable trip of their lives_Kearney Democrat. Notice o! Executor Sale of Land | In tiie District Court of Sherman I County. Nebraska.
