'fhursday , Sept. 19 , 1907 ,
Throu h an order of the Int'r-
state Com\J1erce \ commission this
week , the rates on wheat from
Nebraska to the Pacific coast
tcrminals was cut sharply. 'fhe
rate has been 75c a hundred ; the
commission rules that everything
ouer 65c is excessive. The decision -
cision was handed down in tbe
case of the A. J. Poor Grai Co.
ng-ainst the Chicago. Burlington .
& Quincy railway and others.

Local provision dealers have
been advised that bulk oysters
are a thing of the past in this
section. 'fhe bivalve trust has
designed that the public must
buy them in cans r g-o without
them , and the price lists indicate
that the prices have been boosted
50 that instead of two oysters in
the stew bowl there wi1l only be
one-and the shadow of that one.
The repablicans will have no
occasion this year to vote for any
of the candidates on other tickets
in order to get better men. The
republican candldah s are all well
qualified to fin their re pective
positions for which they have
becn nominated , and Hcrsonal1y ,
are men of good character and
, worthy of support.

The voters who persist in voting -

find these men on the republican

The queerest tbing abont base-
I ball is the wa ) ' some dub team
can arise at the crucial moment
in an exci ting race and lick the
tar out of a team with permanent
possibilities.
I lcn Are Quecr Ducks.
According to the Mullen 'fri !
bune "men are queer ducks , there
is no question about it. I'-or '
example , wouldn't there be a roar ,
when they went home to tbeir
meals , if they had to climb upon
. a higb stool in front of a table
on which there was no cloth , and
eat their meals in this fashion.
Yet the majority of melt , when
they go to a resturant to cat , wi1l
pick out the highest stool , and
the feed board with no cloth on
it in preference to a comfortable
chair and a cloth-covered table.
"A man wi11 borrow a chew of
tobacco and most of them will
set their teeth into the plug right
over where some other men have
gnawed ' ) ff a chew. But offer
him a picce : of pie , at home , from
which his wife or one of the
children have taken a bite. and
he would holler his head off.
"At home he wil1 not drink
out of a cup from which some
one of the family has been drink-
ing. Just call him into the back
stall of a livery stable , pull out a
bottle and stick the bottle half
way down his throat to get a
good swig after a half dozen
fellows have had the neck of the
same bottle in their mouths , and
he will call you a fine fellow.
Yes , man is a queer duck. "

When "Old Sol" peeped his
head above the eastern horizon
Tuesday morning it fairly beem-
cd upon the fair city of Broken
Bow. Early were its inhabitants
around making ready for the entertainment -
tertainment of visitors from
far and near.
Long before daylight wagons ,
buggies , bicycles , automobiles
nd carriages could be seen wending -
ing thir way towards Broken Bow
to attend the fair.
From the first crack of the
cannon on 'fuesday morning until -
til the last tired head rested on
its pillow Friday night joy
was unconfined , and when the
moon spread silvery rays across
the plains it rested upon thirty-
five hundred tired but happy
people.
Many innocent spurts were in-
dulge.d in by the masses during
the evenings. There was baby
racks , nigger dodgers , merry-go-
rounds for the children , while the
grown-up people took in theatres
after which they adjourned to
U1e armory or bowery where the
brawny arms of the noble sons of
Nebraska encircled the willoway
waists of the fair daughters of
this gre t country and there they
tripped the light fantastic toe until -
til the 'we sma' hours of the
reign of Morpheus.
' ! 'he crowd at the Opera house
on the North Side last night was
the largest ever seen at a play in ;
this city. The attraction was
"A Texas Hanger. " Over one
hundred people were refused admission -
mission as standing and sitting
room was unavailable. There
was also good crowds at the Temple -
ple theatre each night.
Some gambling and skin game' )
were conducted the fir:11 day at
the fair grounds , but was soon
stopped when the fine Italian
hand of Mayor George was made
visible therein.
No serious accidents were re-
portell during the week and nothing -
ing occurred to war the pleasure
of visitors Croolcs , of all kinds ,
which have been infesting other
fairs throughout the state gave
Broken Bow a wide berth and it
is well they did , for the police
force were prepared for them.
'l'here was a fine exhibit of
cattle and hogs this year. Judge
Reese had a tine selection of his
Durocs on exhibit. John Woods
exhibited some Poland-Chinas.
J. E. Sargent had a fine exhibit -
hibit of Poland-China hogs.
Charley Wright exhibited some
very fine Chester White hogs.
M. E. Vanderburg of Sargent ,
exhibited some very fine short
horn cattle. .
Quintance Dady had a fine two
year old red Polled bull on
exhibition. It weighed LSOO
pounds and last year took first
prize in sweepstakes at the state
fair.
fair.Dr.
Dr. Brenizer had on exhibit a
very fine bunch of short horus.
Some of them took first premium
at the state faIr.
B. J. Tierney was on hand as
usual with a large exhibit of
short horn and Herdord cattle
and Poland.China hogs.
The fruit exUibit this year was
not 50 large as former years , but

mcntion , cspecial1y the peaches
and 'rapes which were of a very
fine 'quality. 'l'he di play of
vegetables and garden stuffs was
wel1 representcd.
' { 'he flower parade was one of
the very prettiest attractions at
the fair in which everybody was
dclight d. Some of the indtvi-
dual rigs were decorated 1110St
heautiful , even more elaborate
than any secn in larger cities.
Both the IJ ighlanders and M. B.
A. lodges were represented. On
the latter float were both the degree -
gree and driHteams , dressed in
the respective costumes. The
drill team gave a public drill in
front of the ampitheatre and it
was highly complimented.
Another of the many attrac.
tions at the fair grounds was the
balloon ascensions Wednesday and
Friday which proved to be the
most successful ever seen in this
ccuntry.
Frank Ward's horses made an
excellent slJowing this year. In
the y. ; mile grcen trot 'Totwood"
won first. His horse "Billy" got
first in the green runnin'g race on
Wednesday and "Sweethome"
first in the y. ; mile and repeat.
On Thursday , "Sweetome"
won first in the mile dash and I
on Friday she won first in the
mile and repeat.
Ed. McComas' horse won the
three-year-old trot or pace on
Thursday.
"Maud Allen" , a horse from
Ravenna , won the free.for-all trot
or pace Friday.
As we' go to press we are unable -
able to give a full account of the
different prizes awarded.
,
Police Have Thcir Troubles.
An event of some interest in
certain circles was the arrival at
the fair grounds on Friday afternoon -
noon of a certain individual of
whose name we have not learned
and who appears to have made
matters lively for the ground police -
lice for quite a while The man
in question attempted to go over
the quarter stretch when he was
accosted by Marshal Armstrong ,
who tried to force him back. He
was unable to handle the stranger
and called upon three more. The
sights were raised and one , two ,
three foHowed by four were invited -
vited to step forth at an identical I
instant. Then the , fracas com- !
wencec1 and in a few minutes the
officers were crawling _ around on
their hands and kn es. The
crowd finaHy overpowered the
giant and' loaded him into an open
hack and started for town. When
on top of the hill between her'e
and the grounds the stranger hit
Armstrong , knocking him back
over out of the rig and then he
started across the alfalfa field , a
posse in pursuit , headed by Sheriff
Richardson. He was found hiding -
ing in a barrel of rain water on
l\Iri Waters' place. He was placed -
ed under arre3t. bound and tied
between two horses and escorted
to the city bastile and placed in
repose within its storied walls.
It is said the stranger pulled a
gun on Marshal Armstrong , but
this report lacks verification.
