At the close of the meeting re
freshment* were served. 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. "What is the use
of havinp |►<>litleal parties." saida
prominent Woodman to The Re

Tom McCarthy, the Ravenna

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

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

Battling Levinsky at Madison
Square garden. Great Falls pro

MASHES HAND
IN MANGLE
Mrs. Peter Osantowski Has Her Left
Hand Caught in Steam Mangle
MAY LOSE ORE OR MORE FINGERS
Monday forenoon of this week,
about 11:30 o'clock. 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.

--
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.

C. F. 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.

Grand Island, Neb., Jan. 23.—
(Special Correspondence North

Curg Wilson, a laborer in the
Union Pacific yards here, was
struck by fast passenger train No.

and almost instantly killed. He

coal and wood along the tracks,

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

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.
