Former Loup City Boy
Maugled by Explosion
Last Saturday. Edgar Daddow, a
former Loup City boy. and son of Mrs.
John Eggers. was the victim of a gas
explosion at a creamery plant in
Omaha, where he was employed as
engineer, losing his right arm just be
low the elbow and having liis breast
bone broken, besides sundry other
injuries. The story of the accident,
as near as we could learn, was as fol
lows: While doing some work about
the engine, in tilling some receptacle
with gas, there was in some manner
an explosion, pieces of iron tearing the
right arm off just below the elbow,
as stated above, striking him in the
breast, breaking the breast bone and
tearing a large hole in same, and
pieces of iron striking him in various
places about the lower part of the
body. He was immediately taken to
a hospital and a message sent here to
bis mother, Mrs. Eggers, who. with
his uncle. Mr. Thos. Daddow, drove
to Kavenna the same evening and
book a night train to Omaha, to the
bedside of the injured boy. The
mother and uncle returned home
Tuesday evening, leaving sou and
nephew getting along as well as could
L»e expected aud bringing word that
in spite of the seriousness of the in
luries his recovery was assured, un
ess unusual complications should
irise. Young Daddow, as we under
stand. was born and reared in and!
tear this city, where lie grew to man- j
lood, although being away for the
jast few years. About twoyearsago.
:ie came back to Loup City and start
id a shoe shop in the old John Eggers
neat market building, adjoining the
>ld I’ilger opera house, but after a
short time closed up the business and
ivent to Omaha, where he had been
iinployed as engineer of a creamery
jp to the time of the above accident.
The many friends of the young man.
bhe wife and children, mother and
numerous relatives, will sympathize
with all concerned in the almost
fatal tragedy, aud hope for tlie young
man’s speedy recovery.

Sherman County Is
Nearly Free of Debt
-Maybe our people do not realize it,
jut Sherman county is crawling out
>f debt with splendid rapidity, the
indebtedness of the county having
seen reduced nearly half in the past
[hree years. At present the county’s
indebtedness is only $43,000, and it is
1 pretty sure shot that by this com
ing June or July another $3,000 will
L>e cut off, leaving the bogy man at
$40,000 only, and with the present
levy, the entire debt can be entirely
wiped out within the next two or
three years. What do you think of
that? Doesn’t that spell new court
house in the near future? And now,
just stop a little and let this soak in.
A special levy of 5 mills for 4 years,
would give Sherman county a $05,000
court house all paid for. What do
you think about it? Is it not worth
copsidering? Is there an enterprising
Sherman county citizen, and this
county lias no other kind, who would
not willingly give his pro rata to have
the old joke in the center of our
beautiful park superceded by a flue
architectural structure and safe place
lor the county’s records? Say, you
good boys over the county, give the
matter a little of your leisure thought
and write us about it, will you?
$14,000 Worth of
Irrigation Bonds
Cancelled by Board
The county board at its session just
concluded did a good job in paying off
$10,000 worth of irrigation bonds
against Loup City township and also
$4,000 worth against Logan township.
The board found there was enough
money on hand to take up that much
of the irrigation bonds against the
above named townships, and by pay
ing a small premium, the holders
were willing to cancel the same at
once, although they were not paya
ble for a year or more yet, bearing
7 percent interest, in thus taking up
tlie bonds the'board has made a sav
ing ih interest of some $1,050 to the
two townships. This leaves only
about $3,000 of irrigation bonds in
debtedness against each township,
and that will soon be paid off and the
old irrigation nightmare will be at an
end.
Serious Charge Against
Ravenna Policeman
Ravenna, Neb., April 28.-(Special to
the Bee) County Attorney McDer
mott lias issued a warrant charging
A. M. Gramly. for the last year police
man and street commissioner of Ra
venna of having immoral relations
with a 13-year-old girl. Gramly has
lived here many years, and lias a wife
and four children. Gramly is about
50 years old. He left Ravenna a few
days ago, but his whereabouts are
presumed to be known and an i qigit
will doubtless be made at once.
L B. Polski
Appointed Clerk
The county board met Monday, de
clared the office of county c'erk va
cant, caused by the death of W. C.
Dieterichs, and upon an informal bal
lot being taken for his successor, the
vote stood for L. B. Polski to 1 for
,f. F. Nicoson. The election of Mr.
Polski was then made unanimous.
There were but three candidates be
fore the board for that office, J. J.
Slominski, present deputy county
clerk, being the third man. All three
of these gentlemen have held the
position of deputy clerk, and all were
familiar with the work of the office.
The succesful applicant, Mr. Polski,
was the first deputy under W. C.
Dieterichs. county clerk, deceased,
resigning that position to accept the
post of assistant cashier in the First
National Bank, which position he
was filling most acceptably when
elected to fill the vacancy in the clerk's
office. He comes of a family of bank
ers, his father and brothers being
the present owners of the Bank of
Ashton, and his life work has been
along that line, so that his election
as county clerk carries with it an en
dorsement of one who is fully able to
cope with any form of clerical work
that may come up in the office to
which he has received the unanimous
vote of the county board of supervis
ors.
Comic Supplement
Immoral in Tendency
The Philadelphia Public Ledger
makes announcement that “the use
of the color comic pages in the Sun
day Public Ledger lias been discon
tinued. It was concluded tint the
subject matter and treatment of the 1
comic illustrated serials exercise a ;
mischevious influence on boys and j
girls and have demoralizing tenden-j
eies.” The alleged “comics’- are now
on the decline, and yet their use is
still so general that educators and
moralists are horrified over the in
fluence they are having on the rising
generation. It is not generally un-;
iersfiood yet, but the fact will become I
plain in the next fifty years that the
colored suppliment of the first dozen j
years of the twentieth century has
done more to demoralize the young
people of the United States than any
other single agency. Every time one i
of these daubs is discontinued it!
lightens the load of the parent and
the school teacher.—Ord Quiz.
State University Notes
In the interclass debates the Seniors
won first place. The Senior team was
coached by Chris Sorenson.
Winnie Outhouse is known as*a
shark Latin student. It is said that
she gets a two-hour lesson in fifteen
minutes.
Lincoln is going through a wet and
dry campaign. Those who have gone
over the situation carefully estimate
that 80 per cent of the student voters
will vote dry. Sorenson and Rein are
on opposite sides.
Clifford Rein, as editor of the Daily
Nebraskan, has been carrying on a
vigorous campaign for economy in
class functions. He is fighting for
cheaper dances especially. At present
a dance ticket costs from $3.50 to
$5.00. Add to this the rent of a dress
suit, flowers, cab, etc., and the aver
age student cannot afford to attend.
University removal has been the
cause of much argument pro and con
among the students. As far as the
reporter can learn, the Loup City
students nearly all favor removal to
the farm. The new law provides as
follows: To create a University build
ing fund a levy of three-quarters of a
mill is made for six years. But no
part of this fund is to be available
until the question of the location of
the University shall have been sub
mitted to the people at a general
election. The two propositions, ex
tension and removal, are to be sub
mitted at the same time and the one
receiving the largest vote carries. If
extension carries, half a mill will be
used at the city campus, and the other
quarter of a mill at the farm. If re
moval carries all the appropriation
goes to the farm.

W. C. Deiterichs
Passes Away
As was predicted last week, County
Clerk W. C. Dieterichs' life ebbed
away last Thursday evening, just as
the shades of night were coming on,
death resulting from peritonitis, fol
lowing the operation for appendicitis.
Tne funeral occurred the following
Saturday at 1 p. m. from the home of
deceased, a very short and simple
service being given by Rev. Tourtellot
of the Presbyterian church, and the
body was laid to rest in Evergreen
cemetery. At the wish of the family,
there was no ostentation, no flowers,
only a few words of farewell, and all
that was mortal of our friend, every
body’s friend, was committed to its
last resting place. To say that the
illness and death of deceased came as
a shock to our entire community, is
putting the matter mildly. Few had
know n that he had been ill or in poor
health up to the hour when it was
known that he had been stricken
with the disease which caused his
death, and almost before the news
had reached our people came the news
that he had succumbed to the enemy
of all mankind. >lr. Dieterichs was!
a man who made no enemies, and
multipied his friends as fast as known.
He had been a most pleasant, kind
and accommodating friend, man and
county official, as all who had dealings
with him could testify. Of a naturaj!
retiring disposition, he never pushed I
himself forward, leaving that to be i
done, if at all, by his friends. It is
safe to say that in his death our
county has lost one of its most pop
ular officials, our city one of its best
citizens, and the community one of
its most desirable men.
