ANOTHER BI6 PARK OPEHIHG Fine Weather and Big Crowd Visit Jenner’s Park Opening Bay. OTHER TOWNS WELL REPRESENTEB Yesterday was one of the finest and most successful days in point of crowds and enjoyable times of any of like occasions in the past. The weather was ideal and the rains of the days previously had prepared the park as one of the most inviting places to visit. Goodly crowds were present from Sargent, Comstock, Arcadia, Ash ton. Rockville and the country roundabout notwithstanding the fact that farmers were busy in their fields and many could not take the day off'. The band ren dered splendid music during the afternoon and evening. The game between Arcadia and Comstock, resulting in a score of 5 to 4 in favor of the former. The dance pavillion was patronized even letter than" on former occa sions. The Miller boys gave some fine wrestling exhibitions in the evening which highly pleased the crowds, with Referee Conhiser at his best. .lenner Park has just received a consignment of snakes from South America, an aligator and several other inter esting things for exhibition. Late ness of the hour before going to press prevents extended comments on the day, but it was no doubt perfectly satisfactory alike to both the park management and patrons of that splendid amuse ment resort. , Mr. Stansbury, father of Mrs. R. P. Starr, arrived here last Thursday noon from Idaho, for a few week's visit with daughter and family. Insanity Board Pronounce Patterson Sane Ijast Saturday on complaint of ins brother .John. James Patterson of Arcadia was brought lie fore the insanity lioard. The prisonerduly examined and found by the board t« tie sane. Even the accusing brother w as not here to push his I claim against James and the board found by his talk and full account oi things that there was no reason whether to hold him for insanity. He was. therefore, turned loose. The charge looked like a person al or family matter to the board. —Ord Quiz. Fire Totally Destroys Home The home of Andrew Wian tow-ki. on the old Geitzner farm.

I ed tlial the end is rapidly nearing. A heavy wind, with symptoms of tornado, visited Loup City last Thursday evening shortly after 6 o'clock, giving a good many nervous people a genuine scare. However, outside of up rooting a few trees and tearing the folage off a good many more, with upturning of a number of small out-buildings here and there no damage was done in this im mediate vicinity, except to the feeling of our j>eople. Frank Robbins and wife came over from Greeley county last Friday for an over-Sunday visit with parents and brother and family. Frank, though somewhat thin in flesh from his hospital ex perience. yet is in much improved health and gaining daily. Very Fortunate Auto Accident Last Thursday, while Homer Ogle was driving home from Ravenna, where he bad driven Dr. Bowman to take the train to Chicago, and when some five miles this side of Ravenna, the axle on the front left wheel of the auto snapped, the car swerving to one side plunging into a bank, which it climbed up* wards a few feet and stopped. Had the accident occurred on a grade, it would undoubtly have' plunged off to one side, turned turtle and our columns made to record a fatality or at least a seri ous injury to Mr. Ogle, who was the only occupant of the unre generate speed deviL It was in deed a lucky outcome. _ FREE TRIP TO EXPOSITION 3000 Ntbraska Ladies to Coapete fir Free Trip to Paeama. HELP YOUR HOME CARDIDATES The names of the young ladies in this locality who have been en tered in the contest to win a trip with expenses paid to the Panama Pacific International Exposition are attached hereto. By June 17, the day proclaimed by Governor More head as Nebr* aska Panama-Pacific Dollar Day, no less than three thousand (3000) young women in Nebraska will be engaged in the taking of §1.00 contributions for a Nebraska building at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. Each contributor of §1.00 will receive a bronze medal bearing upon one side the seal of the state of Nebraska and upon the other the seal of the Ex»>osi tion. To the young lady who sends in the largest amount of money thus raised will be given a trip for one week to the Exposition with all expenses paid, or $100.tK) in cash. To the three ladies sending in the next largest amounts will be giv en free transportation to the Ex position, or $60.00 in cash. To the next 250 ladies will be given gold medals of the design above described. Tliis is a patriotic movement to which every loyal Nebraskan will subscribe. The fact that every forty states of the Union have al ready rstsed the money for Ex position homes makes it impera tive that Nebraska should take quick action. The raising of the money through $1.00 contribu tions imposes a burden upon no one and all the more glory and credit will accure to those who make this project possible, even at this late hour. Lieutenant Governor S. R. Mc Kelvie of Lincoln has been placed in charge of the raising of this fund will undoubtly be completed by July 1. In the contest for the prizes to be awarded Nebraska ladies every support should be given to those of this community whose names are as follows: Loup City: Ruby Johnson, Mayme Adamson, Frieda Ohlsen. Beatrice Worloek, Pearl Needham, Eamestine Odendahl; Ashton: Stella Jamrog; Hazard: Cora Heater. t -- Loup City a Good Business Point If you have an idea that Loup City is not a pretty good business point let us tell you that the B. & M. at this point alone during the month of May last received and shipped out on an average of be tween seven and eight tons of mer chandise daily in less than car load lots, beside all car load ship ments of stock, grain, flour, etc. We very much doubt if any of our sister towns of like size can equal that showing. Mrs. A. T. Forsell of Central City, who was visiting her sister, Mrs. Sydzik was taken very ill last week with acute indigestion, and for a time her condition was quite serious. However, she was able to return home Monday morning with her husband, he having been summoned to her bedside. It is believed she will fully regain her health in a short time. __ Mrs. Will Draper and youngest child went to Central City last Saturday for an over-Sunday visit with their husband and fath er, Will being so busy he could not take the time to get away from his work to make his usual Sunday home-coming. T. D. Wilson was called last Saturday to the bedside of a brother at Plattesville, Wis., who was reported very ill. John Lewis went to Hamilton Saturday morning last for a few days visit with his brothers. DAIRYMEN TO HOLD RALLY Exhibits Comprise all Modem Ap pliances Dsed in Dairying. SPLENDID PROGRAM PREPARED The Central Nebraska Dairy men's Rally, an event of statewide interest, is scheduled for Central City, Wednesday and Thursday the 17th and 18th days of June, and the activity of those deeply interested is an assurance that great crowds will be present on that occasion. Tbe program has been completed, and the speakers recognized throughtout the west as men of authority on subjects pertaining to dairy industry. The exhibits will comprise a com plete equipment of all appliances used in connection with the dairy such as milking machines, dairy utensils, stalls and stanchions, feed and litter carriers, electrical apparatus, separators and silos. An extensive educational exhibit arranged by the University of Nebraska will be an especially valuable feature. A large exhibit of dairy cattle of various breeds will be there for your inspection. The programs and exhibits will be of deep interest to everyone, so make it a point to be present and bring your family. The rally of last year was a big success. This year a better program and more exhibits are promised. Clark Reynolds left Monday noon to look after his land at Valentine. He will build a home thereon and after that is finished he will have no further excuse for remaining a confirmed bachelor. Warren Guile accompanied him and we understand will work there. Clark may return in a couple of week to look after some business interests here, or may remain at Valentine indefinitely, according to future plans. j Automobiles Collide Without Serious Results Last night at about 10:00 o’clock one of the Dunning boys ran his auto into the car belong ing to Mr. Rettenmayer of Arca dia, resulting in the destruction of a wheel of the latter's car. The accident occurred by Mr. Dunning misjudging the inten tions of Rettenmayer. Dunning says that the other car was com ing from the west and be from the south. Rettenmayer appar ently intended to run north, but turned suddenly to the east and he had no time to change his course, hence the collision.—Ord Quiz. Miss Henry Young, formerly one our most popular city teach ers, but who for the past two years lias been teaching at Ogden, Utah, in the city schools, and making her home with Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Hale there, arrived last Friday from a visit down in Tennessee, on her way home to Ogden, and will visit here for a week or so. Her host of friends here are well pleased to greet her once more. Mrs. Lou Scliwaner and little son left last Saturday morning for Lincoln, where she will visit a sister who graduates from the States University, and as a dele gate to the P.

Reed property and will soon move to Loup City and make this his home. He is highly spoken of by the people of Bristol and over the county, where as an old citi zen of Sherman he is most well and favorably known- Mr. Reed, we understand, will move with his family at an early date to Indi ana. Romeo Conger returned from his visit to Kansas City and other points in the “show me” state Monday noon of this week, re porting a very enjoyable time. The Wont Storm of the Season Loup City and Sherman county has been blessed so far this season with plenteous moisture, and crops never looked better. How ever, it were next to impossible to have such bountiful rains, without more or less winds and at least some hail. Several heavy winds have visited us, the worst of which seem to have been those of last Saturday night and Monday after noon of this week. Saturday's winds had serious symptoms of the twister element, but did much less damage than would be sup posed from the terrific gale it brought, yet over the the county we hear of windmills dismantled, outhouses scattered about and many trees shorn of portions of foliage. The winds of Monday afternoon, however, though more straight in character, yet seemed to have much sprinting force, and we hear of barns destroyed, wind mills sheared of goodly portions or blown entirely down, and an endless number of smaller build ings throughout our farming community scattered to the four winds, so to speak, entailing much loss to the people. Besides, we hear of several sections visited with hail, though the destructive quality was not excessive. So far we have heard of no casualties, nor even accidents, due to the danger engendered by the reck less quality of the storm. All of which causes us to exclaim: Stand up for Sherman county, the parti cular frvorite of the controller of the elements. HOUSE TAKES RAP AT SPELLBINDERS Bill in House to Prohibit Cabinet Officers From Making the Chautauqua Circuit in the Hereafter. WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE GREAT W. J. B. Secretary Bryan's lecture tours cropped up in the house June 8th again, when Representative Brit ten of Illinois, republican, intro duced a bill to make it a penal of fense for any cabinet, officer head, or clerk of a government depart ment to lecture for pay, other than actnal and traveling ex pences, and to prohibit senators or representatives from lecturing for pay while congress is in ses sion. Offenders would be fined $10,000 or imprisoned for two, years or suffer both penalties. Mr. Britten launched a broad side in a statement accompanying his bill in which lie spared no ]K>* litical party and included Sen.La Follette and Representative Mur dock. “This bill was prepared last September, but was not intro duced when Secretary Bryan for mally declared that he would lec ture no more during the period." he said. “The recent announce ment from Philadelphia that several members of congress and the distinguished secretary mem bers of state had signed contracts for a period-of lecture? beginning July 1, is responsible for my bill. "I am at a loss to understand how the secretary can consistently leave his office when a state of war practically exists between this country and Mexico and the for eign policy of our government is being laughed at by every civilized nation on earth. This certainly is no time for Mr. Bryan to be | hiking around the country doing one-night stands with ‘Tyrolean yodlers, contortionists and sleight of-hand artists, and I am equally opposed to members of congress doing this sort of thing when con gress is in session.
