An exchange says some women have all the grace of an angleworm when it comes to charming by the poetry of motion. But we’ll let it ; go at that. A BIG DRAWING CARD. One of the largest crowds that has ; been in Loup City, except on some special occasion, assembled here last j Saturday. The principal cause of the crowd was James Bartunek, who gave away a fine set of heavy team harness and a washing machine. At 1:30 o’clock Mr. Bartunek as-1 sisted by M. C. Mulick and Dar Grow, staged a foot race for thes mall boys, with a coaster wagon as the prize for the winner, the same being won b>* Max Grow. The time was not givi n out. Shortly before the drawing took place an auction sale of summer lap robes was held at the store. Earl Keeler was the auctioneer in charge of the sale and disposed of a goodly number of dusters. The drawing was held on the street in front of the store. Claus Plambeck, of Ashton, held the lucky number and got the harness. Charles Placek held the number that won the washing machine. This is the second lot of premiums to be given away by Mr. Bartunek and the success of the plan is no longer in doubt, as the size of the crowd on Saturday was evidence of the interest taken in them. Mr. Bartunek has an enviable reputation as a harness ma ker and the fame of his team har nesses extends beyond the borders of our state. It is highly probable that he will make another offering in the near future. THE BURLINGTON Leaves 7:05 A. M. Due Aurora.10:20 A. M. Lincoln .12:50 Noon Hastings .3:10 A. M. Omaha .3:30 P. M.

TO THE PATRONS OF~~MY STUDIO Owing to the fact that I am at all times swamped with the cheap post card work, (on which the customers expects as good a photo as if he were paying $4 or $5 pr dozen), I have de cided to quit making post cards un less the patrons are willing to pay me for them in proportion to the other work. The continued advance in the price of photo materials, makes it necessary for .me to advance my prices accordingly.—Eisner Studio, Loup City, Neb. PLAN A BIG DAY. On Thursday, June 8, will be the eighteenth annual opening day of Jenner’s park and we feel confident in saying that little by little and with many ups and downs it is now con 1 ceded to be the most original, unique and best kept park between Omaha and Denver. The park always proves a great surprise to the many visitors and is a revelation that such a beau tiful park can be found in so small a town. It is useless to try to explain the many interesting features, for every few feet one goes something of inter j est is to be seen. The zoological features this yeai l are greater than before and many new improvements and attractions have been added. Let us all work together and make the eighteenth annual opening of Jenner’s park a grand success. Loup City is justly proud of owning one of the best parks in the state and wishes the surrounding towns to help celebrate the success of this great enterprise. ANOTHER AUTO ACCIDENT. While traveling in an auto on the new road south of the Schneidereit place last Sunday afternoon the grade slipped and carried the auto with it down into a ditch, a distance of about ten feet upsetting the machine.

The machine was being driven slowly at the time, or the ac cident might have resulted more seriously. FRESHMEN ENTERTAIN JUNIORS.

Outhouse has returned from St. Louis, where he attended to im portant business matters. Act Quickly Delay has been dangerous in Loup City. Do the right thing at the right time. Act quickly in time of danger. In time of kidney danger Doan’s Kid ney Pills are most effective. Plenty of Loup City evidence* ef their worth. Mrs. D. L. Adamson, Loup City, says: “For the past ten years, we have used Doan's Kidney Pills in our home and they have always done just as represented. I have been a suffrer from my kidneys for a long time and many weeks was laid up so that I couldn't do a thing. My feet and ankles were swollen and my sight became affected. Backache made me nervous, stiff and lame. After using Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I got at the Rexall Pharmacy, I rceeivd re lief." Price 50c„ at all dealers.
