Ord is having an epidemic of scarlet fever at present. — Lincoln went “wet” by about 600 majority at their city election Tues day. Evidently Evangelist Schoville did not cut much ice in his attack upon the city and its awful condition. Our readers will find in this week's Northwestern a comple summary of the laws passed by the last legislature. Either save this week’s Northwestern and file it away, or cut out the sum mary of laws and paste it in your scrap book for future reference, so can refer to it at will. Grand Island is getting tierce. Two hold-ups the other night tried to convince the Burlington agent that he must open the door so that they could help themselves to company funds, but he invited them to go where the weather is somewhat sultry, at the same time phoning the cultured minions of the law to come and get the men. His nerve won and the bad men fled instanter. Cupid’s Calculations On Tuesday, May 6tli, a marriage license was issued to Mr. Alex J. Nagorski of Ashton and Miss Cecelia V. Slobasjewski of Rockville. Mr. Charles Eckel and Miss Mary Anna Kolar, both of Bristol township, were united in marriage by County Judge Smith at his office, on Tuesday of this week. May 6th.

Attend the Special Sale of Granite ware at the new Ten Cent Store, Sat urday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Miss Gracie Conger, who had been making a protracted visit to her sis ter. Mrs. Art Reed, at Greeley, re turned home last Thursday evening. Five of the lady teachers of our city school autoed to Litchfield last Sunday to spend the day with Miss Bessie Smith, who is teaching on the west side. Bauker W. F. Mason will this week move into the John Minshull residence in the east part of the city. Mrs. Margaret Ogle will move up from Austin and into her property, as soon as vacated by Mr. Mason. The big rains of last week Thurs day night, which washed outasection of the track between Boelusand Dan nebrog. played havoc with the mail service on this branch for forty-eight hours. We received a pleasant call on Tues day of this week from our good friend, Jurgen Plambeek of Route2. Jurgen is somewhat of a lover of the National game, and thinks down his way the Cob Creek boys have all the elements of future big league men. He enjoys sitting on his front porch these tine Sundays and see the boys on the big green near his home, and insists that at least some of them are coming giants in that line. Boelus was in ill luck last Thursday, on the rain proposition. Thursday night that section got a souser which washed out a big section of track just east of that village, and Friday fore noon suffered from a cloudburst which brought some 18 inches of water in depth over the streets. Traveling men on the motor marooned in that village on account of the washout said they never saw the rain come in such torrents as at that time. Several of our auto drivers are en thusiastic over the tine condition of the roads west of the river, especially the one from the west bridge out past Pinckney’s nearly bo Zwink’s, which they say has been dragged into as tine shape as the main streets of our city, by the road overseers out that way. We do not know who the road bosses are, but according to our auto people they are Joe Dandy boys when it comes to giving fine roads. Last Sunday morning at a called meeting of the M. E. Sunday school J. P. Leininger resigned as superin tendent and H. R. H. Williams was unanimously elected to fill the vacan cy. Mr. Leininger has been closely confined to business In Loup City for several years past, and so during the summer expects to be away a good part of the time. Mr. Williams.brings to the office splendid equipment and lots of enthusiasm. Several times of late we have in cidentally remarked about our worthy county judge having the mortal cinch on hitching in the matrimonial har ness those whom Cupid lias welded to gether in heart action, much to the chagrin and mortification of the min isterial brethren. But it seems that tiie judge is to have a combatant along that line who will give him a merry race. Our friend, W. T. Gib son, having been elected justice of the peace, is said to be sitting up nights studying the most approved methods and finest art to be acquired in uniting hearts that beat as one,! and is ready to perform the functions now SC1 completely absorbed by the judge. Hiz Oner, Justice Gibson, lias not as yet shied his caster into the ring, but we may expect to hear of his making a “killing” along matrimonial lines in the near future, and when he does he will have the rest beaten to a frazzel. SPORTS Farwell 20; Ashton 12 Ashton, Neb., May 4.—Farwell swamped the home team, connecting with the'ball for 21 safe singles and 20 runs.

Our village hoard met Thursday morning of last week for the pur pose of granting license or hearing remonstrance against them. How ever, there being no remonstrance filed against any of the three 'ap plicants, a license was issued to each, which again assures this town of plenty of wet goods for the ensuing year. The base ball game between Farwell and Ashton Sunday on the Ashton grounds was a very loosely played game, the score at the finish being 20 to 12 in favor of the Farwell aggregation. A perusal of the box score will give an idea as to how the game was played. Our school hoard on Monday closed contracts with the Misses Klea and Lila McNulty and Miss Stella Jamrog as teachers of our public schools for the ensuing year with Miss Klea McNulty as prin cipal. The office of justice of the peace having become vacant through tne death of John F. Smith, our town ship board appointed John Rewo linski to fill said office for the un expired term.

Last Thursday night this part of the country was again blessed with another fine rain, this time giving us one and four-tenths inch es, which makes a total rainfall of three and two-tenths inches since April 23rd.

Nebr., Tuesday morning, where they go to make their future home, the doctor hav ing decided to locate there with his dental business.
