As Others Seen Our Celebration The throe iirtlcici which urn quotoil , below reflect somewhat the feeling of the big crowd which attended oar celebration on I lie Fouith. There are several different classes of people who attend celebration and they all see the biff event from their own view point. Usually people see what they look for. We are confident that a great majority of our visitors on that day were well pleased with their trip. The fact that the flying machine man did not appear sorely disappointed nil the people, home folks and visitors, and yet any sensible person knows that had the aviator been on the grounds, he could not have made flight owing to the character of the wind. The sceptical said that it was all u hum bug, that there was no Hy ing man, others satu that tuc city could not raise the money and that the Hying man was waiting for his cash before he would come over. The letter from the secretary of the Lebanon Commercial Club made the posjtiou of the aviator plain. He would have made live hundred dollars hud he made- his tlight, but he could not, and consequently he received nothing. This money was ull talsed before.nny arrangements were mode with him There was not one word of com plaint that we heard in regard to the two free open air exhibitions. These were splendid performances ami much enjoyed by the crowd Hut when one wants red Iciuouadu and wants it very much peanuts are tasteless even tho they are the best that can be grown and that seems to be the condition in a nutshell. The crowd was large, there was plenty of amusement and the governor of this great commonwealth was pres ent and delivered an able address. We did our best to give the visitors a good time and fell down in one point only, and that was because we had no con trol over the elements: Tkeftwlk, Most of the people of Campbell stayed at home and devoted their time to trying to keep cool. A number at tended the celebration at Ited Clouil and those whodid feel that they failed to receive adequate returns for the time and money spent. They report a veiy largu crowd there but not enough entertainment to keep evoijone Inter ested. The failure of t lie Hying ma chine to put in an appearance was the crownirg disappointment that added much lo tho grouch of thu visitors. Sovetal picnic parties wore held in this vicinity and really enjoyable times are reported by those attending A good mauy spent the day in the harvest Held and no doubt felt as good or better than if they had at tended some crowded affair all fussed up iu a stand up collar and being jost led around in the sweltering beat Quite a large crowd gathered iu Camp bell at night, some to attend the dance and others to visit among old friends, and it would have made quite a "hit" had the business men provided a ulcc display of fireworks for their amuse ment. Campbell Citizen. Marti ft Please All The town was more or less depopu lated last Friday, July 4th. A great crowd came In from the country and ook the morning trains for Red Cloud. Nearly all of those who went to that city to spend tho day, returned last evening muttering words of dis pleasure and disgust. They declared it to be principally a celebration of drunks, and that the program was a one-ring affair when It ought to have been a three ringer. The airship fail ed to arrive and the ball game was punk tbey tell us, while the famous band were tight wads with their music. This is theklnd of a bowl'we have beard from a hundred throats. Now we opine that the situation was overdrawn; that indeed Red Cloud - tin Weeks Each Year Fer $l,0. presented a good program. Where she fell down and where in.niy another town fails down, is iu trying to en toitaill ten thniiMiiid people with a one ring line of attractions It can't be done. Double and triple sets of iimuseinenls must be cnrrleil on sliinil- j taneousiy to entertain such a crowd. It costs money to do It, but a tremend ous crowd ought not to be solicited to a city unless their complete entertain ment is looked after. The trouble Is that we ex pent too much these days from entertainment committees. It was a bad day to handle a crowd and while neoiile are free to criticise, still they should be compasionatc River-! ton Review. AtledClMMl As per anticipation, the editor of the Herald spent July 4th iu Red Cloud. About fifty of our citi.etis went along to keep us from getting lonesome. We are told that No. 4, was loaded to the limit and did not stop at Hiverton and Inavalc, and No. 1(1 was so crowded that at Hiverton the sleepers had to be opened to accommodate the crowds. A special of 12 coaches was run from Wymote. The crowd was estimated between 8000 and 10,0o0 souls. The jam of humanity on the main streets was terrific. The Ferris wheel, merry go-round, trick cyclists and 'movies' furuished amusement fur the younger set. There wus ine seedy countiy youth with his sweetheart and a roll of bills in his jeans; thoro was the callow dude with his girl, and a pack of cigarettes and a few dimes In his packet. Grandma down to the baby were there. Kvery body who didn't go elsewhuie went to Ited Cloud. The object of our visit was to get acquainted witli the newspaper boys and to renew acquaintance with Father Fitzgerald whom we as a boy knew at Auburn, where he was in charge of the Catholic ohurch. He is known dowu there as Red Cloud's grand old man; he is a friend of all, not a child or street urchin but who knows bis pleasant smile or loving pat. Older people Hud lu him a sage advisor and good counsellor. lie was solicit ous of our parents' welfare and asked that we express his regards to them. He readily acquiesced, when asked to pose for camera. We hope this flue old man will be allowed to live for many years. Ked Cloud has many beautiful resi dences and her citiens vie with one another us to who can have the pret tiest lawn. Red Cloud aiho has a courthouse. (We found it, de-spite thu fact that Uio. Halo would not tell its loe.ition.) We wonder not that you are ashamed of it. Really It. is more disreputable looking than the Itlootningtou 'shack'. It is a disgrace to your beautiful city and, the site on which it stands. The flying machine did not fly and the ball game did not Interest us, so we boarded No. 1 1 for Naponee and arrived in pleuty of time to see a fine display of fireworks set off from the school campus Naponee Herald, Utfit't ' iffuif.JVA i 3i.fZ'Jr' i KlSaZVEim I i I f mim kv srzUfifflh'' ' 1 1 lol Coroner Amack Proves Efficient Coroner I'd Amack, after a faithful search since taking iu charge the body of tho unknown colored man who died at the depot last Tuesday morning. has succeeded In locating Ids mother at Topeka, Kansas, mid word was re , coived from them requesting that 'the body be held until today, as she was making at) effort to raise the necessary amount of money to defray the ex pense of having him sent home There was nothing at all about the man, by which he could bu Identified, except the mark, "Harvey E" which was found on the inside of his vest. However, Coroner Amnck immediately got busy and exhausted ever know clew, before locating the right parties. He nlaced an advertisement in the Denver I'ost, wrote to the superintend ent of the dining cur service of the Rock Island, after learning lu a round about way that the dead man had formerly worked for this company. He also wrote to several parties iu Kansas City, after hearing certain things from employees of the C.

Consequently Coroner Amack has re ceived word from his mother to hold the body until further word is receiv ed tonight, and the chances are that she will procure the necessary amount lequired to have him sent home.

Precedent is the slow consumption that eats Into the vltutsof progress It throttles ambition and makes drones of people who would and could "make good." Years ago folks said, "competition Is the life of trade." Fiddlesticks! Ideas are the life of trade. Good ideas well carried out, are the back bone of all successful business. The .locomotive that pulls the "Pennsylvania Spcolal" from New York to Chicago In 18 hours once lived as a big Idea lu the brain of Stevenson. When we started In the jewelry business wc had a little moucy and n big Idea. The Idea was to Impress on you that we are selling the very best iu jewelry at reasonable prices. And judging from the splendid giowth of the business you "have tried it out and found It true. Still they ate n few sceptics n few "show mo" folks. To these we say one little visit one small pur chase will convince you that wo have tho best goods at tho rights price. Try it and prove It. Perhaps yon nre thinking of making a gift. If so, here's your chnuuo to save money. Gems, jewelry, cut glass, watches and novelties, silverware an urmy of bargains tiro camped iu our store. Supphse you come in and look them over today while tho best are still '''on deck.' You wllf be glad you came. F. H.
