H&mil U‘ W oodmen are evidently very much in tamest in this matter and they have already arranged to send one of their for *m«>st insur gents, Ellis Wood, to the state camp which meets in May. A bitter contest is expected at that time, as the complexion of Mr. Talbot's home delegation will be an imt»ortant factor in his contest for re-election at the head camp, which meet* at Toledo, Ohio, in dune. Mr. Wood is also a candi date for delegate t< > the head camp. The Aurora camp has already lost more iIih.ii 100 members as a re-ult of the attempted increase. Its members therefore feel very deeply on the subject. The plea of Mr. Talbot for re-election on the pr id that he will “be pood" if piven another chance is charac terized as unworthy of serines oils e rati on.

McCarthy going GOOD IN MOHTANA Tom McCarthy, the Ravenna boy who attained something more than a local reputation as a boxer, and who left less than a year ago, has been making rapid progress in the prize ring of late at Great Falls, Mont., where he is now lo cated. He recently knocked out “Spider" Kelly, a man who has defeated “Gunboat” Smith, and did it in four rounds. On Febu ary 4 he is to fight Jnck Rogers, claimed to be the champion of the northwest. If McCarthy wins the bout with Rogera, it is reported that be is to lie taken .to New York for develop ment, and will be matched with Battling Levinsky at Madison Square garden.

Mrs. Peter Osantowski, employed at the Loup City Steam Laundry, while opera ting’ the steam mangle, got the fin grs of her left hand caught be tween the big iron rollers, mash ing them in bad shape. As the hand was caught, she screamed, “Oh, my hand is caught,'' which was heard by E. E. McFadden, the proprietor, who was attending the engine. He rushed to the mangle and turned it off quickly as possible, but had to turn the rollers back off the hand before it could be released. Fortunately* the belt attached to the mangle was quite loose and slipped as the fleshy part on the hand was reach ed. otherwise, very probably, the entire arm and hand would have be**n crushed to the shoulder. A telephone call br >ught I>r. Bow man hurriedly u> the scene, who attended the injured woman, and thinks he may possibly save the hand without amputation of any of th* tinkers, or at the most the loss of one or two. though at the time of the injury it was impossible to determine just the extent of the in jury to the baud. It was only the morning of the accident that the injured woman had applied for work to Mr. McFadden. stating she had formerly worked in a >teaw> laundry i t Grand Island and understood the work required. During 'he morning hours she had been working at various things about the laundry and at the time of her injury Ir d only hardly be gun the work, her left hand being caught about the fourth garment she had fed into the mangle. ELECT OFFICERS FOR TERR 1914 Co—fci«l dab Mietiag Larply AttoaOod, Mick liter—I Shown VARtOIS QIESTIORS MSMSSER -- Last Friday evening was held the annual meeting of the Com mercial Club for the election of officers, take the annual inventory of what has been done and trans act any and all business coming bef «re it. There was a generous attendance of the membership and ljvely interest taken in the proceedings. The reports of secretary and treasury were found very satisfac* tnr.v and give quite an added membeship to the club, as well as making good financial showing. A letter was received from the secretary of the State Railway Commission stating that the Union Pacific had applied to the commis-1 sion for permission to take up the j spur they had built to the late brick yards of Henry Ohlsen, for! the reason assigned that the brick• yards had burned and the track: was useless, etc. Upon discussion. I and the further fact that Mr. Ohl sen was not present, the president on motion was instructed to ap point a committee to wait upon him to see what might be his fu-! tore intentions, and urge the re building of the yards, the com mittee to report to the secretary their findings, before answer was made by the secretary to the letter* from the commission. Quite a discussion occurred over the coming banquet, regarding the disposition of guest tickets, the matter being finally left with the banquet committee in much the j same manner as had been before, provided. Discussion was had over the dis position of the township road moneys, it seeming to be under stood that the city did not get a just proportion of the funds in the betterment of roads leading into the city. A statement was how ever made by A. J. Johnson, clerk of the township board to the effect that the roads leading into Loup City had received even a greater than just proportion of the sum set aside, hence “kicks’’ on that score were knocked out The following officers for the Commercial Club were elected: President—John W. Long. Vice President—E. G. Taylor. Secretary—W. S. Waite. Treasurer—O. E. Longacre. Trustees—Old board re-elected as follows: W. F. Mason. S. E. Gallaway and Gus Lorentz.

HULL DIES IN DENVER Mrs. Mary Hull, Mother of Mrs. Burr Robbias, Gets Telegram. HIES OF TYPHOID FEVER A message was received here Sunday announcing the death in Denver that morning of C. F. Hull, brother of Mrs. Burr Rob bins and son of Mrs. Mary Hull. Burr Robbins took the afflicted mother to Ravenna by auto that evening, where she took the train for Denver to attend the last sad rites to her son. The family had received a letter a day previous telling of the illness from typhoid fever of deceased, but nothing therein contained gave suspicion of the seriousness of his illness. Mr. Hull visited his sister, Mrs. Robbins, here about a year ago for a day, when the editor met him, a splendid speciman of visor ous manhood, and seemed the em bodiment health and vigor. He was about 38 years of age and was a traveling salesman for a packing house. There has been a singular fatality in the family, the father having been killed by a fall from a load of hay, a brother killed by lightening and now this son meets death after only a few days of illness from fever. The many friends of Mrs. Robbins will deep ly sympathize with her in the loss of the loved brother. Already a number of our demo cratic exchanges are beginning to push little boomlets for William Jennings Bryan for president. Nothing would better suit the peo ple than have the chance to lay the big noise away for the fourth time. AGED MAN KILLED BY U. P. TRAIN I L. A. Wilson Aged Laborer Struck by Train No. 7 and Instantly Kitted. Skull Fractured and Neck and Legs Broken. BODY HIRLED 50 FEET AWAY. Grand Island, Neb., Jan. 23.— (Special Correspondence North western.)—An old man named Curg Wilson, a laborer in the Union Pacific yards here, was struck by fast passenger train No. 7. last night near the freight depot and almost instantly killed. He was in the habit of picking up coal and wood along the tracks, and was waiting for an eastbound freight to go by, stepping out on the further track and was struck Let's see. When Governor Morehead was a candidate for the executive office, he or his friends, or both, gave it out that he would not be up for re-election. Now, it is reported by wireless, that the governor, if he sees no chance to break into the U. S. senate, will not be averse to succeeding him self. Twas ever thus, at least with the democratic b re them. Just now, there are whisperings of severrl republican politicians who are longing to occupy the executive office. One is the pre sent Lieutenant governor; another is, of course, from Omaha, while various portions of the state pro-' minent citizens who are spoken of i —by their friends. _ Ed Radcliffe on Tuesday installed a five-itorse electric motor in his pian nv mill. May Take Motors Off From Branches It seems to be given out by those in authority in Union Paci fic railroad matters that there is a serious probability that the road will take off its motors from the branches. At least a prominent official gave out that uncomfort able idea at Kearney a few days ago. We say uncomfortable idea, for with the taking off of the motors very probably comes the mixed passenger and freight ser vice, and people know what that, means—in lack of trains and slow er time, generally speaking.

A LETTER FROM We received a few days i r > n letter from our good friend, Lore Gee, who is now living at Ven tura, Calif., where at present that country and the country around Santa Barbara and Los Angeles is being flooded with immense rains of the past few days. Of course Friend Gee's letter was way too early for this latter news, but many of his friends here will won der if the great floods there have touched him or caused him finan cial loss. In his letter he says they have had no frost there. He says they have ripe tomatoes on the vines with new apples and young pears as big as hen’s eras. They had had 14 to 16 inches of rain up to that time, but it was still raining, when he wrote, the 14th instant. The by No. 7. He evidently did not hear tbe approach of the passenger train before it was upon him. No responsibility for his death rests on tbe railroad people as the ac cident was unavoidable. The deceased was a man aged slightly over 60 years, and had made his home in this city for some time. Besides his widow he leaves a grown son, living at a distance. The unfortunate man was not ground under the wheels of the train, but was struck with such force as to be hurled a distance of fully fifty feet His neck was broken, his skull completely crack ed across the anterior portion, and his legs were also mutilated.
