Lord Bulwer Lytlon in his fam ous romantic novel "The Last Days of Pompeii’’ immortalized tlie event and using data obtained from scientific research and in vestigation. jieopled it with his imagination, (ieorge Kleine with his photo dramatization of Lord Lytton's novel will do even more to rrecall it to modern amusement lovers. His pictures of the erup tion give a most impressive and vivid idea of the awful magnitude of this world famed catastrope. Mr. Kleine's photo drama “The liast Day s of Pompeii'* will be j presented at tlie Daddow opera house. Saturday night May 23. W. B. HOWARD FORCONGRESS Howard Mas Bata Om last Aaitar Nebraska Mat Evar lad. BEER OH THE JOB ALL TIE TIME. The time is near at hand when we must begin to look around for available timber in the Second congressional district. With the right man to lead, it will be a walkaway for the Republicans this year, so much dis-satisfaction exists in the Democratic yanks, to gether with the bad feeling en gendered over the division of the spoils, that it takes no great pro phetic vision to see the hopeless ness of their case. Lobeck will undoubtly l)e renominated, as there is scarely another Democrat with enough temerity to enter the race. The Tribune has nothing to do with the Democratic quarrel, but it is vitally interested in see ing a good man nominated by the Republicans and to that end it I suggests Hon. W. B. Howard as the man for the place. Mr. Howard has made the best auditor Nebraska has ever had. He has !>eeu on the job all the time and has not l»een afraid to do his duty, but always courteous to the pat rons of his office. It would be a real relief to the people of this district to have a representative in Washington who has some con victions and backbone enough • to stand up and fight them through. If Mr. Howard can be prevailed upon to make the race his election is a certainty.—Blair Tribune. Banker Carlsen Has His Arm Broken I^iM Saturday evening, asj Hanker C. C.

Smooth Rascal Works Merchants During the past few weeks, s«Df nine of our business men ltave caslied a number of worth ! less checks presented by a smdoth i oily stranger, who would go into the business houses, purchase -ome minor articles, present his | checks in payment, said checks j ranging in amounts from $2* to each, which would be cashed and (the balance given to the buyer, and in every instance, upon pre sentation of said checks, which were made out on on either the First National or State Bank of 1 this city, they were turned down no such persons as signed to the checks haring accounts at said banks.

Deceased had lived in Loup City and Sherman county for the past 35 years, where she had raised a large family, where she was well and favorably known, and her death causes universal mourning among all who had known her in this life.

Steen, the new pastor of ] the First Presbyterian church, ar-; rivet! with his family last Friday.; His household goods preceded him a few days. They are fast get ting settled in the manse. Rev. Steen occupied the Presbyterian pulpit Sunday morning and gave REV. K. M. STEEN one of the best talks ever given in that church and his people ex pressed themselves highly pleased over his initial sermon. There was no preaching services in the evening, owing Jo the baccalaure ate sermon in the opera house that evening. WRESTLING POSTPONED Match Staged Fcr Friday Night Be tween Miller aatf Kerseehrock, Off WILL BE NEU FRIDAY MAT 29. < >n Friday evening of this week at the opera house will be seen two of the finest mat contests ever held in this city. The prelimin ary will be between Clarence Mil ler of this city and Ross Robinson of Lincoln, formerly welterweight champion of the state. Robinson agrees to throw our local boy three times in an hour, but will have the tinfe of his life in trying the job on. The main event will be a finish match between our Warren Miller and Farmer Kersenbrock of Lin coln, who ranks among the very best in the state and is well known in the wrestling game. He has wrestled such men as Joe Stecher, Jack Meyers, and Lee Scott, all of whom have tried conclusions with Miller, and hopes to pin Miller's shoulders to the mat on that evening. Miller has just re turned from a six weeks- try out with Lee Scott at the latter's home and Lee believes Miller has the goods and is way up among the big men of the game of today. uon i miss tins evening, if you are a lover of the sport, for if you do you will miss the greasestl ev£nt ever pulled off in our city. Later—It was necessary to postpone the above advertised wrestling match, on account of a large “Job's Comforter", more commonly known as “boil” ap pearing on Miller's right limb. 1914 CLASS PLAY FILLS THE HOUSE “The Princess” Alfred Lord Tennyson’s Greet Pena tendered Very Credit ably by Class ef 1914 OTHER COMMEHCEMEHT EXERCISES Tuesday night of this week was given the class play of the gradu ating class of *14. at the opera house, which was filled to the very doors and many were unable to gain admittance, let alone stand ing room. Too much could not be said in commendation of the play nor of the participants in the same. As has always been the case with^Loup City graduating classes, splendid histrionic talent was displayed, while the custum ing may be said to have been the most elaborate and in the best taste of any future like occasions, It is too bad that arrangements were not made to have given the play two nights, that all who wished could liave attended and witnessed the performance. The receipts were $153.05. The class and our people are to be congratu lated over the splendid endeavors of the class of ’14. BACCALAUREATE SERMON Sunday evening last the opera house was crowded to the limit to hear the baccalaureate sermon, given by Rev. L. V. Slocomb, and many were unable to find ait Finger Cnt Off When Team Runaway On Monday of this week, as Charley Freenhalgh. of the west side of the county was listing corn, with a disc following, and driving four horses, two of whom were colts, his little son. accom panied by his dog, came to the field, and as the dog playfully sprang at the horses, barking, they became frightened and started for a run and before Mr. Greenhalgh could get good held on the lines he was thrown from the lister and his little finger on his right hand was cut entirely off. Luckily, he escaped more serious injury. Mr. Erickson of the State Board of Irrigation was here last Friday inspecting the old irrigation ditch and the new one being put in down in the Austin neighbor hood, R P. Starr accompanied him on his trips. Successful Gun ! Tournament Here — A successful gun club tourna : ment was held in Loup City last Sunday, but unfortunately was short on rocks, owing to the un precedented crowd of shooters present to jiartieiimte. Sportsmen were here from North Platte, Grand Island, Greeley, Arcadia and many other points. George L. Carter of Lincoln took first place in the professionals. Ama teurs John Den of North Platte and Miller of Grand Island tied for first place, while J. W. Thomi>son of Loup City and O'Brian, jtossessional, tied for second place. Mr. Thompson made a run of 75 straight and Carter made 105 straight, being the only high runs of the day. j The shoot was attended by 41 shooters. The most beautiful and elaborate photo drama produced since Geo. Kleine's “Quo Vadis” startled this country, is “The Last Days* of Pompeii’’, taken from Lord Bulwer Lytton's classic novel of the same name. It is a gem and worthy of the reputation of Mr. Kleine who is also sponsor for it.! The whole delightful love story is tolcl in a series of exquisite pic tures, veritable triumphs of the photographers art. The engage ment here will be at the Daddow opera May 23. I By the Flagler, Colo., Progress of last week we see that J. P. Leininger of this city, in connec tion with W. E. Henry, formerly of this city, also, has secured con trolling interest in the State Bank of Flagler, and has been made president of the same, with Mr. Henry as cashier. We congratu late the people of that Colorado town in securing as a promotor of financial interests Messrs Leinin ger and Henry, and trust the lat ter will profit financially by their venture. Baptist Pastor aid Family Arrive Apropos of the coming of Rev. J. L. Dunn to the Baptist pastor ate in this city, we append the fol lowing resolution, taken from the Liberty (Neb.) Journal, his for mer charge, adopted at the close of a Sunday school session, as an expression of their appreciation of the work done in that field by the reverend and his good wife: Liberty. Neb., April 26, 1914. Be it Resolved, That we the members of the Junior Bible class, also of the B. Y. P. U. of the Baptist church of Liberty, Nebr., herein wish to express our deep and abiding appreciation of the self sacrificing labor of love and devoted effort on the part, of Sis ter J. L. Dunn, who has for the past sixteen months served us faithfully in the capacity of Sun day school superintendent, and | ting or even standing room, so j great was the crowd. Long be fore S o’clock, the hour of service, t he seating capacity was exhausted. At that hour, to the sweet strains of a inarch given by Miss Meree Outhouse at the piano, the Junior and Senior classes filed into the house and were seated in chairs reserved for them. The services begai with “America,” sung by the audience standing Prayer by Rev. Steen followed. A duet by the I)epew sisters was given, fol lowed by scriptural reading by Rev. Dunn, from the 12th chap ter of Romans. A solo was then given by Mrs Worlock. Then came the baccalaureate sermon by Rev. Sloeumb taken from Deut. 11-32, every work of which was given with the earnestness of con viction and could not help but sink deep into the hearts of all those present. It was indeed a masterful address. Following the sermon came a duet given by Mr. and Mrs. Schwaner, the bene diction by Rev. Steen, and one of the raost interesting and instruc tive evenings ever in our city had passed into history. COMMERCEMERT EXERCISES The Commencement exercises this year here held in the opera house last evening, but as we go to press Wednesday afternoon, it is of course impossible to writer up tie same for this week. How ever. the program as prepared, was as follows, and fully carried out: March; invocation, Rev. E. M. Steen; instrumental solo, Mrs. R. P. Starr; vocal solo, Miss Elizabeth Leininger; address, Chaacellor*C. A. Fulmer of the Wesleyan University; vocal solo, Miss Celia Conklin; presentation of diplomas, J. S. Pedler; vocal trio, Prof. Worlock, and the Misses Depew; benediction, Rev. J. L. Dunn. was also daring that time, with the aid of Rev. Dunn, instrument al in organizing our B. Y. P. U., and has served as our most effici ent teacher up to the present time; I the success of our organization is very largely due to her patient, perserving efforts, it is therefore with deep regret that we must lose her from our midst. Truly we ire much indebted to her, for her heart, her hand and her home were ever open to us, with always a kindly word of encouragement on her lips. And now, that Rev. and Mrs. Dunn are closing their labors with us to take up the work elsewhere, our prayer shall ever Ije that the God of our fathers be ever pre sent with and keep them and keep and prosper the works of their hands,'that may be equally help ful to others as they have been to us. We are truly thankful for their presence with us; we have learned to know and love them by their true worth. Signed in behalf of Junior Bible class by its secretary. Leone Smith. Signed in behalf of B. Y. P. U. by its secreta.y, Lee Vasey. We have before us a copy of the Surperior Express, containing an account of the marriage of Rex Jeffords, of Bridgeport, Neb., formerly of this cily, to Miss Bessie Dysart of Superior. The wedding was quite an elabor ate affair. The young people are to make their home at Bridgeport, where the groom is in the jewelry : business.
