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.

LOCAL INTEREST ITEMS
MILL CHANGES HANDS.
On lust Friday E. G. Taylor dis
posed of the Loup City mill to H. M.
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.
