For the First Time in Forty-three Years County has a Clean Slate. The last county bond, amounting to $1,000 was paid by the county treas urer Wednesday morping. The first 1 bonds were issued by Sherman coun ; ty in 1873 and were to the amount of i $25.0£>0. There has been bonds i against the county every since, at one i time the total indebtedness amount I ing to $196,000. Now the count* is en 1 tirelv free of debt, for the first time in ] forty-three years. Our present c-oun j ty supervisors are to be commended ! for wiping out the county's debts. It has taken hard work and close figur ; ing to accomplish this result, and the | county is in better condition financial ! ly and in many other ways than it t has been since its organization. In a few years a new court house will be | built and as the funds are being • raised by a levy, when the building is completed it will be paid for. and no bonded debt will be hanging ovtr the county. Sherman county is fast coming to the front and now ranks high in regard to schools, both ttown j and country, roads and financially, i The improvement has been very pro I nounced in the last few years. Tne i next decade will probably show won : derful development in many ways. — LOCAL NEWS ITEMS.

Henrietta (Theda Bara), and Lou ise (Jean Sothern), are two orphans. Henrietta is vividly beautiful and Louise, while equally fair to look up on. is blind. On the death of their parents in a French province, they are sent to Paris where an uncle has promised to provide for them. On their arrivel in the capitol, Henrietta, who has attracted the eye of the ras cally Marquis De Presles, is abducr?d by his orders. Louise falls into the hands of Mother Froehard, a profes sional beggar. Mother Froehard has two sops. Jacques, a swaggering handsome daredevil, too proud to work, and Pierre, a hunch-back, v.-ko earns an honest living as a knife grinder in the squalid cellar that the fled by the unwelcome attentions paid to her by Jacques. Pierre, on the other hand, does all in his power to protect the blind waif. Meanwhile, Henrietta has been taken to the Mar quis chateaut. Frightened by her ex periences. and half mad with appre hension. she appeals to the assemble! guests, one of whom. Chevalier De Vaudrey. rescues her after a duel with De Fresles. Won b? Henrietta's appealing beauty the Chevalier wishes to marry her. His father indignantly refuses his consent and causes the girl to be sentenced to prison and ^x ile. How she escapes this fate, and with her bling sister finds the way to peace and happiness, makes a story of competing charm and thrill ing interest. “The Two Orphans" well deserves the term “photoplay su preme."

Coach Davidson was able to surprise the Gibbon team and defeated them. The Gibbon boys have not been defeated this year until Fri day and naturally this Bhows up well ! for their team. Gibbon plays here much like the plays of the Loup City team. The game was interesting through out. Gibbon's team fought hard and clean, in fact they are held by the Beavers to be the best team, the clean est team and the most gentlemanly of any they have played so far. We hope to schedule games witn them next year. The work of Gibbon’s team centered around Tilgner, the captain and star halfback of the team. It is his head work and fight that has carried Gib j bon so far so successfully. The Gib ; bon team weakened after he had fo ! be taken out on account of injuries. The two Dexter boys played a good game, as did Stonebarger and Me Comb. For Loup City, Daily made the first touchdown running SO yards from a blocked drop-kick. Bulger kicked goal. Bulger added another touchdown to his list for our second and kicked goal. Score 14 to 0. In the last quarter Corning went over for the third touchdown on straight football an off tackle plunge, j Bulger kicked goal. Score 21 to 0.

However, that | does not mean that we are to sit down i and fold our hands, and do nothing or j say nothing in the reconstruction of I the social and moral conditions of our land, made necessary by voting out the saloon. This is a victory which brings with it a responsibility which the church must bear. People who are always hunting for excuses to stay away from church and Sunday school, had an opportunity last Sabbath to discard the one they almost wore thread-bare in the sum mer. It was cold enough that only those who constantly keep the fires burning on the alter coult get up steam enough to come. We had all better fire up a little, for we are like ly to have a great deal of this kind of weather. All the teachers were present at the workers conference on Monday evening except three, and all the members of the official boards except two. At this meeting a campaign of great importance was planed, and we want every member of this church who is interested in its welfare, to be at prayer meeting on November 23, to hear the details of the campaign. Sunday morning at 10:30 the pas tor will preach from the subject, “The Stewardship of Life” and in the evening at 7:30 from the subject, “Your Sowings, but only one Har vest.” The Christian Endeavor will be led by Amy Mcllravy, the subject being. “Why Christianity is the Hope of Our Country.” Methodist. We were glad to see 132 at Sun day school last Sunday. That was a very good record for the day: But it begins to look as though we would not have to “set 'em up.” The at tendance at Epwrth League was ex ceptionally good for the night. We had not less than 200 at the program and social hour last Thursday. It will be better if the weather be haves next Thursday. Everybody get ready and come and Bwamp the men.

The annual dinner which was given by the Ladies’ of the Baptist Churcn, in the Fletcher store building last Friday evening was a complete suc cess. It was patronized by the town people in a splendid manner, and everybody seemed to enjoy the sump tuous feast of good things, and went away feeling satisfied and in good humor. Friends of Charley Beushausen were somewhat solicitious about him, he seemed to have lost his bearings Friday morning, on account of the presidential election. He forgot to eat :iis breakfast, and at the noon hour was so pressed with duties at his of fice, he failed to eat dinner, but in the evening he found his way to the Baptist supper and remained at least one hour at the table. His friends were all glad to discover him next morning at his accustomed place looking none the worse. SHOOTING TOURNAMENT. J. W. Thompson, amateur and Geo. W.

I A Resident of this County For Mary Years Dies at Grand Island. i John Henry Niemann, aged 74 • years, eight months, and twenty-four days, passed away yesterday about noon at his home on West Charles , Street, of complications of sickness and old age. Mr. Niemann was born on Febr i arv 28. 1842 at Lauenburg, German . , j and 1862 was united in marriage to Miss Katherine Fachman, at Ham burg. Germany. Together with his wife they came to America on Octo ber 29, 1873, first locating at Lincoln and later moving to Omaha. In the latter city they remained for a period of about three years and then took up a homestead in Sherman county, near Rockville. Neb.. After residing here for about sixteen years and un dergoing the hardships of the earl .* days in that county, he moved to a farm one mile from Ashton. Neb . where they resided until moving to Grand Island on March 21, 1911. The union was blessed with on; daughter, Dorothea, who was later united in marriage to Mr. J. G. Menc... deceased, a brother of C. H. and Aug. Menck, of this city. Mrs. Menck pre teded her father in death on January 25. 1890, leaving three children to mourn the loss of their mother. Mr. Niemann thus leaves to mourn his loss the helpmate of his years, and three grandchildren. Mrs. Hattie Nei son. Henry J. Menck and Miss Mildred Menck. as also one great grandchild, Marjorie Nelson. Mr. Niemann was a quiet, unosten tatious. industrious and most kindly old gentleman and in his recent years was often seen actively about his li’ tie home, the neatness and trimnes-! of which, especially in the sumnu ■ time, often attracted the attention of passers-by. He was a man who re mained closely at home but left as friends all who knew him. The funeral will take place from the residence. 410 West Charles St. on Wednesday afternon at 2 o’clock. Friends are invited.—Grand Island Independent. F. E. Brewer is reported as being very ill. with little or no hopes being held for his recovery. A Good Introduction Goes a Long Way— * GOOD CLOTHES are good introductions any where—in business and at social functions. A man’s clothes form the measure of his personality among strangers. He is known by his clothes as by the company he keeps. An ill-fitting suit handicaps him as much as an introduction by a disreputable acquaintance. COLLEGIAN CLOTHES give you the same sort of introduction among strangers that an esteemed friend might. They inspire confidence, lend an ease of manner, and compel respect. They are cut on gentle manly lines for gentelmen’s wear. You can't go rong with— COLLEGIAN. L. G. LOFHOLM
