L. B. POLSKI, County Clerk. This life is full of snares and pit falls for the tripping of the unwary, and the man who is arrogant in his pride stumbles into them the most readily of all. Confidence m self ana a just pride in a clean life to be com mended, but arrogance and a refusal to consider the rights of others lead straight to the brink of oblivion. Change of program every night at the opera house. Spend July 4th at Jennor’a park. BIG DAY AT JENNER’S PARK. July 4th will be celebrated at Jen ner's park in Loup City this year, and the program is said to excel any that has been held at this popular resort for several years. Of course, the ball game will be the leading feature. The Loup City team will play the fa3t aggregation from Arcadia and promises to put up a game that will have all the thrills and excitement necessary to enthuse the fans to the highest pitch. But the ball game will not be the only feature of the day by any means. A number of free shows and attrac tions and the usual contests will be staged. The Jenner's announce a big display of fireworks. Not a dull mo ment druing the day, fi in early morn until late at night, when the big dance will take place at the pavilion. Ample accommodations will be pro vided for a large crowd. ! In big flaming bills 'advertising the 4th of July celebration at the! park, the Jenner's puts it thusly: i “Uncle Sam expects loyalty from ev- j cry citizen in war or in peace. Come and show your colors at the big 4th of July celebration at Jenner’s park, Loup City. If you have red blood in your veins, come.” A large number of people are ex pected to be here from neighboring towns to spend the day. DANGERS OF A COLD. ' Loup City people will do well to heed them. Many bad eases of kidney trouble result from a cold or chill. Congested kidneys fall behind in filtering the poison-laden blood and backache, head ache. dizziness nd disordered kidney action follow. Don’t neglect a cold. Use Doane’s Kidney Pills at the first sign of kidney trouble. Follow this Loup City resident’s example. Mrs. Mary Lofholm, Loup City, says: “I had been having some trouble from my kidneys and occasional attacks of backache. Every little cold I caught seemed to settle on my kidneys and make me worse. Two boxes of Doane’s Kidney Pills, which I got a Swanson’s Drug store, ended the trouble and I haven’t been bothered since. Price 50 cents at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doane’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Lofholm had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo. N. Y. The democratic administration as serts that it inherited the Mexican muddle from the republicans. The assertion is not true, but, even if it were true, what of it? Didn’t the democrats ask the American people to oust the republicans from power on the plea that they could run things better? And wherein have they run anything better than did the repub licans. In view of the fact that a presiden tial campaign is about to be staged. Preident Wilson decided it would be good policy the year to make an ad dress at Arlington during Memorial day services. The grilling lie re ceived for his refusal to speak to the G. A. R. boys at Arlington two year ago, is still fresh in his memory. News dispatches announce that the war has made New York City tne greatest commercial port in the world, just recently surpassing London. And yet some of the campaigners tell us that the war did not restore whatever degree of prosperity we are now enjoying. A strong wind accompanied by rain visited Sherman county Thursday night. It is reported that some dam age was done by hail in thfe south part of the county. W. H. Hane and Fred Anderson were over from Hazard Thursday mak ing this office a pleasant call.

Speltz, of Burwell, who will take pos session on the first of August. In the the transaction -Mr. Taylor became the owner of the Speltz ranch, twenty miles northeast of Burwell. The Loup City mill is one of the leading institutions of the town and has done a flourishing business un der, the management of Mr. Taylor. Prospects for the future seem bright and the new owner has a splendid business to take charge of and de velop. Mr. Speltz and family are welcomed to Loup City and we be lieve their location here will be both pleasant and profitable. NEW POWER HOUSE. E. G. Taylor is in Lincoln on a busi ness mission connected with the electric light plant. As he has sold the old power house and engine with the mill, he will soon build a new power house and equip it with two new crude oil engines, one of seventy five horse power and the other one hundred horse power. These engines will give ample power to furnish all the current needed and a great im provement in the service will result. As possession of the present power house wll be given to the new owner in a little ovre a month, the new power house will be built immediate ly, the location probably being near the railroads, in order to faciliate the shipment of crude oil. JAPS LEAVING CALIFORNIA. “The Japs are all leaving Cali fornia,” said Hon. R. P. Starr, of Loup dity, who with his son was a guest at :he Lindell hotel today, while talking with a representative of the Bee. ' I lo not know why,” said he, “hut nany of them are leaving and drop ting everything. Close to wdierr my sister lives they have departed and lave left their gardens to take care of hemselves. Jilany tracts set out to omatoes have been abandoned. Just vhat it means I cannr ■ iscover.” Mr. Sarr has isiling in Call omia for some weeks and returned ibout a week are. He says that out n California anr along the road most >f the people ;■ pueared to be for toosevelt befor.» the convention, and ■ a ecually .treng against Wi sou. *Those 1 pe)>n‘ ortft {here liave#!t in or the president strong,” said Mr. ftarr. “I .lo not know what their Lttituae will be now, as I left there efore the result of the Chicago con vention was announced, but I am of the opinion that most of the coast states, if not all of them, can be safely counted for Mr. Hughes.”—Bee. AUTO TURNS TURTLE. An accident that might have very easily ended more seriously occurred two miles this side of Rockville early Sunday morning when C. N. Klingler and wife and daughters were on their way to visit relatives near Rockville. Mr. Klingler states that he was driv ing along at from eight to ten miles, when he struck a narrow grade where it had been raining. The car immediately started to skid, which caused a tire to blow out, over turning the machine and three of the party were caught under the car, but Elmer was thrown clear of the wreck. With great presence of mind the girl, with a strength that does not seem possible, lifted one side of the ma chine and extracted her sister and Mr. Klingler and together they managed to lift the car enough to pull out Mrs. Klingler who could not have stood the weight of the cor on her chest mudi longer. Mr. Klingler telephoned his brother who came out and brought them to his home. It is indeed a lucky escape, the members of the parly showing nothing but a few bruises and the auto was not damaged to any great extent.—Arcadia Champion. A SUCCESSFUL SAL^. The public sale of two Sherman county farms here last Thursday drew a large number of bidders and both farms sold at a fair figure. The sale was a great success and Col. E. A. Keeler, who had the affair in hand, can be credited with putting oft one of the largest public sales ever held in the county. Both farms were paid for in cash, thus considerable money changed hands in the transactions. Col. Keeler was assisted by Col. Wal thers, of Shedee, Okla., a real estate auctioneer whose fame extends .from ocean to ocean, and who is called to cry sales all over the country, if any one has a large sale it would pay them to secure Keeler & Walthers to cry it. Farm No. 1, consisting of 240 acres, owned by John Zaworski, was pur chased by E. G. Taylor for $25.75 per acre. Farm No. 2, consisting of 320 acres, owned by Mrs. Klatka, sold for $32 an acre, beiug purchased by S. $ Polski. Both farms consist of mostly roll ing, rough land and are not improved to any great extent.
