BALL TEAM LOSE GAME
The Loup City ball team went to
St. Paul Sunday and played the last
aggregation of that town. The boys
made a very creditable showing and
with a little more practice we believe
they can defeat some of the best
ones.
The score was 13 to 11 and if our
boys had not gone up into the air in
the fourth inning and allow St. Paul
to run in nine scores with two men
out. would hove won the game by a
big margin.

^ BOOSTER TRIP PLANNED.
There has been considerable talk
the past few days of organizing a
booster trip to advertise the fourth of
July celebration at Jenner's park. If
he plans are carried out, and we be
lieve they will be, the trip will be
made Friday and Saturday of this
week. The trip will be made in autos
and the band will be taken along to
furnish music at the towns visited.
All the neighboring towns will be
visited and be given a hearty welcome
to attend the celebration at the park
::i Loup City. The booster trip should
be made and as many as can do so
l.ould go. Let the people know that j
we are to have a real celebration and j
give t£em a genuine invitation to at- j
tend.

CLERK OF COURT TO MOVE.
The committee appointed by the
board of supervisors to rent suitable
quarters for the clerk of the district
court has rented two rooms in the
upper story of the First National bank
building for his occupancy. Furni
ture and two new steel fire-proof cabi
nets have been ordered and as soon
as they arrive Mr. Bass, the clerk will
move into hiB new quarters. Now
three county officers are located in
rooms outside of the court house be
sides fire-proof vaults around town for
the storing of the county records. As
business increases a couple of more
rooms will have to be rented. The
county has also made arrangements
with Hall county for the keeping of
its prisoners, which will materially
add to the expense, but something
had to be done as the county jail
cannot be used any longer.
CORN BEEF NAMED.
In an "Encyclopedia of Military
Terms.” just published by Canadian
troops serving in France, an old staple
army article, corned beef, is given the
name of “bully.”
Members of the United States ma
rine corps, who publish no encyclo
pedia, call the same thing “canned
Willie." and they point out that troops
all over the world have different and
expressive terms describing the tinned
corn beef product.
Our marines give no reason for
their "canned Willie” version of the
corned beef affair, other than that
they try to be original in all things,
and that, in going about the world in
performance of duty, they learn what
the other fellow is doing in a nicknam
ing way and are thus able to keep
right up to the minute.
FINED FOR SPEEDING.
Ira Hull, a traveling salesman, was
picked up by Marshal Reynolds for
speeding his auto on the streets of

riage license on June 26 to Frank A.

THE FUNERAL.
Following the reading of Colonel
Roosevelt's letter reiterating liis de
| clination of the nomination for the
presidency and giving his unqualified
: endorsement to Justice Hughes, the
progressive national committeemen
devoted a little time to an expression
. of their inmost thoughts On the
whole it was rather a lively funeral.
A show of keeping up the fight was
made in the attempt to secure the
nomination of Victor Murdock for the
presidency, hut everybody knew that
the jig was up when the colonel
[ stepped out. and there was nothing
more to do but get the remains out
of the way as expeditiously as possi
ble and begin talking about something
| else.
Colonel Roosevelt s letter had been
rather completely tipped off in ad
vance through his numerous conver
sations with his followers, and his at
titude created no surprise. The re
fusal of Mr. Parker of Louisana.
who had been honored with the nomi
nation for the vice presidency, to as
sent to the burial of the progressive
party can be marked down as coming
from a genuine desire to see the
third party succeed and not from a
desire to run for office. The south is
full of able and public spirited men
who have become tired of the bossism
of the democratic party and sincerely
want to see it defeated. Because of its
history and its necessary attitude on
the race question the republican party
cannot command strength enough in
the old solid south to unhorse the
democratic organization. When the
.progressive party was founded these
southerners rejoiced that at last a
national party had been born. Mr.
Parker and others who felt with him
may be excused for showing some
temper over the proposal to turn the
progressive organization over to the
republicans. • In the south that means
another long period of democratic con
trol. with political conditions of a dis
couraging and demoralizing nature.
To the progressives from the south
the funeral of their party was a real
tragedy. It had none of the comical
features that appealed to the visibili
ties of northern republicans.—State
Journal.

HAIL AND WIND STORM
i * Zv ■ '
The hail and wind storm on last
| Thursday night did considerable
damage throughout the country, a.
| K. Jac k's corn w as beaten down and
■ damaged, in the vicinity ot Austin
• us were the fields of many others in
| the same neighborhood. Alike Ale
Keon’s ban: and windmill were blown
1 down. Mr. AlcKeon reports that
! seventeen windmills were torn down
in his neighborhood. The crops iu
most instances will come out alright,
j though somewhat damaged. As corn
is not very far advanced the damage
will not he so great. Several small
cyclones and tornadoes were reported
throughout the county and a great
many people took refuge in their
caves. Citizens at Rockville on last
Thursday evening witnessed a rather
peculiar sight, as there were three
separate attempts of a tornado to
strike the little town. A twister
conned immediately over the village
and a tail descended downward. After
whirling a moment it reascended. A
tew seconds later it again came down
a little farther than before, but again
went back to the cloud from which it
came. The third time it descended,
however, it struck the ground on the
place of Oscar Hanish, residing in the
northeast part of the town. While
the twister to look at appeared inno
cent enough, its strength may be sur
mised from the fact that seventeen
truit trees were instantly uprooted
and the windmill immediately went
out of commission.
Peculiar antics of the wind are re
ported from all parts of the county.
Hail in some parts of the county fell
tor an hour and thirty minutes, most
of the time coming down slowly and
doing little or no damage.
The storm on Sunday night lasted
only a few minutes with but little
hail. Vivid lightning accompanied
the storm and some damage resulted
from that source, lgnatz Janulewicz
lost a mule and two cows by light
ning and John Pointkowski lost one
of his best horses.
While the storm period is about
over, it is believed that small dis
turbances may be looked for until
about the middle of the first week
in July.
LOUP CITY MAN APPOINTED.
It is with pleasure that The North
western announces the appointment of
Col. E. A. Keeler as one of. the judges
of the Wagon Horse Association of
America, with headquarters at Kansas
City, Mo. Tins appointment is quite
an honor, in that it recognizes the
ability of Mr. Keeler in the horse jud
giug line and places him among the
leading horse men of the United
States.
The object of this association will
be to co-operate with the farmers ari l
horsemen in establishing a new breed
of horses to fill the missing link be
tween the automobile and the draft
horse.
The wagon horse from a farmer’s
standpoint, must have weight enough
to pull the plow and not too heavy
for the harrow and cultivator on soft
ground. Active for the mowing ma
chine and wagon and to take the plare
of the auto on muddy or rough roads,
and above all, must have flesh-carry
ing qualities, thus having the com
mercial value at any time the farm
can spare him.
Wagon horses for city use would
include a group of which are used
principally where the business re
quires a quick delivery. Such horses
must be closely coupled, compactly
built, with plenty of constitution and
stamina. They must be good actors,
have a good clean set of limbs with
good quality of bone and foot that will
stand the wear of paved streets. In
this ease are express, delivery' wagon,
artillery and fire horses. All of these
must have depth and rotundity of
body, smoothness and finish of con
formation and be of rich solid color
(star in the forehead and one white
foot preferable. Height. 15-1 to 15
hands, weight, 1,100, to 1.400 lbs.
(Horses weighing 1.250 standing 15 2
preferable). Stallions to weigh 300
lbs. more than mares, 1.400 to 1,700 or_
1.800 lbs., height, 15-2 to 16-2 (prefer
ably w'eight 1.550 and 16 hands high).
Stallions must be registered Percher
on. Mares’ off-springs, thus registered,
will be eligible when mated with regis
tered wagon horses or registered Per
cheron of above quality. No ances
try requirements will be made in the
selecting of dams for registration, it
is quality that they want. It has been
said that with horses very much de
pends on the dam, far more so than
with other breeds of stock, hence wa
are particular in getting good quality
with the dams. If you have an animal
filling these requirements and wish to
register same, write today for applica
tion blanks to Mr. Keeler at Loup
City. The registration fee is $2.00.
due when animal has been accepted
for registry.
The road to success is a hard one
to travel, but we’ll get there just the
same if we keep right on stumbling
along.
