Prof. Mclndoo wcnt to the
, " west part of the state last week
w here he is spending a short
i v lcat.ion 'and attending to some'
t business matlers on the , side.
lIe is expected home ' Saturday of

Prof. Cornett , whom the Rn-
PunLICAN reported last week as
. gone to Hill City , Southpa ota ,
went o.nly as far as Alhance
where he had some business in
, connection with Custer College
i to attend to. , He reached home-
Saturday night.
The farmers are too busily
cngaged at their work just now
to think of matrimony and that
is the reason why business' is so
dull at the counly court 'house in
at least this one respect. Weddings -
dings will be plcntiful in the fall.
Thomas Smith drove up from
the farm , 20 miles southeast.
Monday afternoon , and reported
having completed threshing last
Saturday. Now he's ready for a
drenching rain on his corn and ,
to his way of thinking , it would
be a mighty good thing for it.

Mrs. H. L. Ormsby and children -

visited in Michigan several ,
weeks. reached home last Friday
and report the atmosphere in
that state at a high temperature ,

If you are going to attend the
State Fair and have no room in

Secretary Whitten of the Com-
I mercial Club , Ljncoln , and he
I will secure you a nice room for
I Fair week-September 2-6. A
I list of 3,000 rooms besides the
I natural hotel facilities will be
t secured , so there will be plenty
i , of sleeping room for everyone.
'I ' During the State Fair , the
! first weelt in September , the city
. . ' , bf Lincoln , that boasts the most
.brilliantly lighted business streets
" . in the United States , will provide
street illumination far in excess
of those had last year. The pre-
II parations contemplate myriads of
lectric lights on all the principal
I busfness str'ets , with free modern
I vaudeville attractions at the
various street corners.
In the ball game with the
Prairie Dogs last Friday Charlie
Gadd had the misfortune of a
broken thumb on his right hand ,
which prevents him from engaging -
gaging in his regular vocation
as tonsorial artist and the
financial loss therefrom will be
severe-unless made up by the
club management as it should be
-to say nothing of the excruiat-
ing pain the fracture has caused
him.
