The cup was won by Charles Gammon, making a fine score in the cold weather, braking 97 out of a possible 100. Chas. did some fi e work, as all of the boys shot well, considering the deep snow. Scores made at other shoots for Fred Gilbert Cups over the state, scores of luO targets, as follows: Targets Broke Chas. Gammon 100 97 Wes Miller 100 94 J. W. Thompson 100 93 Henry M.

Heger 100 89 Rnffpic’w loo 84 haTocke.v 10.J 82 Tomas 100 73 Last Thursday night, Matsuda, the dap wrestler, who had cleaned the “mat” platter of all who thought they could wrestle in his class in this country, tried con clusions a. Lincoln with Daily, the champion of the lightweight ar tists, and after a grueling contest of something over an hour, Daily got the Gotch toe hold on the little brown man and floored him so hard that he could not come back and had to give over the plum without another try. Mat suda now says he will never again go on the mat as a lightweight, as it takes so much beef off his bones that he is too weakened to get down to his best. He says i he will hereafter wrestle in the 138 to 140 pound class. Daily has in prospect a title match with Ray Harnden. the Bel lingham, Wash., lightweight who defeated Johnny Billiter last June a few days following the match between Daily and Billiter in which the Nebraska boy captured the title. Harnden has made the cham pion a liberal guarantee for a match in Bellingham early next month and Daily may accept. Mean while, George Fallis, an Indian grappler from Oklahoma, is flirt ing for a match with Daily and if the backeis of the redman come through with a satisfactory weight forfeit, the Oklahoma athlete may have a chance at the lightweight title. Joe Steelier, the Dodge county phenomenal heavyweight, who went to Kentucky a short time ago to clear the mat of all the fel lows who imagined themselves in his class, seems to have licked the platter clean and had no trouble insodoing. Hemetseveral would be champs, and they did not even prove interesting and he had n» take on his brother, Anton, who was with him, to give exhibitions so that the fans could get their money’s worth. Joe is going up to Chicago and show them that he is the best ever, and he will do it, no doubt. A pretty good joke was pulled off on some of the St, Paul sports last week. A crowd had gathered at one of the pool halls to get the returns of the Johnson-Willard go which was to have been held at Jaurez, Mexico, but was postponed on account of Johnson’s non-ar rival. The operator at the depot faked the reports and the fans at the pool hall enjoyed a twenty-one round conflict in which the black man was knocked out. Some of the fellows were suspicious and a committee was sent to the depot about the ninth round but w hen they got there the operator was taking the doj>e hot from the wire even though it was coming from Catesfield. One of the amusing parts of the seventh round report was the black eye which Willard gave Jack Johnson.—St. Paul Press.

PLAY SCORES HIT Presentation of “The Three Twins” by the Local Order Put on in Fine Shape NOT AMATEURISH IN THE LEAST The play put on at the opera house last week Friday night, by the K. of P.’s was without doubt of the very highest class given by any past cast of amateurs in this city, and that is going some. The story of the play runs about as follows: Gen. Rufus Stanhope, (d. W. Long,) an irrascible old gentleman, has an only son, (S. A. Allen,) whom he intends shall marry his ward. (Mrs. Hazel Allen,) but the son, contrary to tiie general's intentions, falls in love with a paid companion, (Mrs. Llva Mathew.) The son finds a photograph on. the street, which gives him the idea of masquerad ing as such person, which proves to be the photograph of one of a pair of twins, <{L A. Hinman and G. W. Collipriest,) the former a lover of a gigglinggirl, (Mrs. Bess Chandler,) and the latter the hus band of a weeper from awa.v back. (Mrs. Drusilla I’edler,) who are tlie parents of two children, (Mar garet Long: "and Ashley Conger, dr.) In the story, the ward is loved by a young man, (O. L. Swanson.) to the thorough disgust of the old general. In the mas querading, the two twins and the undutiful son, being as like as three peas, are mistaken one for the other, and one complication follows another with delightful ra pidity. keeping the house, which was crowded to Ihe very doors! in an uproar of merriment from the rise of each curtain till it rang down on some startling funny sit uation. Colli priest, the husband and father of the weeping foun tain and her children, has been in a sanitarium for mental ills, while his twin brother is one of those forgetful mortals about paying his obligations, and the general’s son, is continually mixed up with one or the other of the twins, the three finally winding upas crazies, at a bug-house, run by a doctor, (Ashley Conger,) where the gen eral, in his constant mix-up with the three characters comes to con sult the doctor over his own im agined mental ills. Of course, matters are straightened out in the correctest of love situations and climaxes, but throughout the three hours, or perhaps a little less time, there was not a spare mo ment in which the audience could relapse into soberness and digni tied silence. Mr. Long. in make up and trueness of conception o his part, was simply immense nn< reminded some of us older lover of the comedy, of the part of “Ok Hurricane’’ in that great old play of “The Hidden Hand,” one o the best stormy characters of tin stage. Dr. Allen, as the only soi ‘and heir was certainly a peach, i: one of the masculine fraternity may be so termed, and in his fre quent encounters with the giggler, the fountain head and his owi; particular wished for affinity, and the other members of the cast, proved himself to have the truest conception of the character part he portrayed. In fact, to cut the story short, each one of the cast, ladies and gentlemen, supported the “stars" in the very best and most creditable manner, and if space would permit would be en titled to especial mention. The specialties between the acts—the duet by Miss Fay Gallaway and Mr. Lou Schwaner; the duet by the Depew sisters, and the “Tip perary song by the company in chorus, led by Mr. A.,7. Johnson, were also very fine and highly ap preciated. All in all, the play and players was a creditable produc tion and certainly deserves the praise which is being heard i.rotn all who attended. The Northwestern editor is al ways pleased to commend and speak in highest terms of our citi zenship, and of th;^p deserving of special mention for their public activities, high moral qualities and boosting abilities. At this late day, and to make amends for fail ing up to the present mention of some of those leading in good works, we wish to speak of one whom all will recognize as earning the above distinction in no small degree. In politics: in church work; in recognition of others who are workers for the up-building of the community; one who never al lows himself to descend to the deg radation of belittling those with whom he is notin accord: who uses his kindly offices to promote the best of feeling among all classes: who is a gentleman and scholar of the highest attainments; whose every word and expression shows him to be a writer of splendid gifts; whose diction is perfection itself; whose friendship is an honor to the one fortunate to be so held I W. F. MASON, President L. HANSEN, Cashier Did You Ever Pay a Bill Twice? Tiie one who has not had to pay more than one bill the second time is the exception and not the rule. Few people when paying a bill ask for a receipt and if they do they fail to keep the receipt. Did you ever have a dispute over a payment? Unpleasant is it not? Do you wish the circumstance to occur again ? There is one sure way to escape it. Pay your bills with checks. If you received no interest on your idle money it would only show good sense and good wisdom to have it in a bank. Transact your business in a business way and pay your bills b,v checks. Your check when returned to you makes an indisputable receipt. A bank account makes you systematic and encourages you to save part of your income. Many a man has become rich because he became inter ested in watching his bank balance, and was thus led to find ways to increase it. Start a bank account with us and we will help you make it larger.

The writer feels ashamed and hu miliated that he Las not till this late day rendered this signal tribute to a worthy example of Loup City and Sherman county’s most emi nent men, and thus render just honor to one so deservedly popu lar and true to the highest phase of manhood. It is not necessary, of course, to make mention of the name of this philosopher and pat riotic friend of the people to those at home, but we feel that we owe it to the world at large to hand down to posterity the name of our friend, the esteemed gentleman, whose very name stands as a syn onym of all that’s good and per fect in man—C.

Selah— NOTICE In compliance with instructions received from the Secretary of the State Banking Board, and in ... — ■ co-operation with orders sent out by the Comptroller of the Cur rency to discontinue permitting overdrafts, and for the following reasons, after April 1st next, we will discontinue the practice of cashing any and all checks where the maker or account has not suf ficient funds to his credit to pay the same. j First: It has been found that patrons who favor conservative j banking disapprove the overdraft. Second: The overdraft is one of the worst abuses of country banking. It consists, as a rule, of the customer making a loan to himself without the knowledge or consent of the bank's officers, without note or security. Third: Wherever the privilege | of overchecking is used for the purpose of getting business, it has been observed to introduce a lax ity in the bank's methods, wholly 1 inconsistent with sound banking. Fourth: Both State and Xa-j I tional Banking Departments pro hibit the payment of checks on overdrafts. Fifth: All Courts hold the payment of checks on overdrafts illegal and make personally liable the officer of the bank who per mits such payment. Sixth: While it would seein that in a few cases this ruling might work a hardship, it will not limit the credit of our good cus tomers in any way, and we will continue and endeavor to help them in every possible way as heretofore and is in keeping with the better banking, greater effi ciency and equal treatment of all customers demanded by the great reforms of the banking laws of the country now being passed and instituted, both State and Na tional. All patrons are requested to co operate in making it effective. LOUP CITY STATE BANK.
