Couie to Broken Bow on Mon day , July 5th , for the greatest of all celebrations. Someone of the next dozen poeople you pass in the street , is en route to answer an ad. A good many ol the people are going to the stores today solely because the ads made it advis able Made it worth while. It's advertising is a vitally im portant part of a store's "public service" of its concessions to public convenience. Real estate can be sold quickly without too great a sacrifice but it requires convincing ad vertising and some little liber ality of space. The most interesting things in a store are always advertised and you can prove this to be true by personal observation on your next shopping trip. If your advertising were some body else's and you were to try to judge the advertiser and his store solely by it , wouldn't you consider it too limited for a live store. store.W. W. H. Osborn , candidate for the office of county clerk on the Republican ticket , is an upright and honest young man , and as he has filled the position of dep uty in this office for the past four years with due credit and honor to himself , he is deserving of the support of the voters of Custer couuty at the coming primary. Ausley Argosy. Not "smart advertising" just common sense , nnd persistence , and frankness , and discriptions and prices , of things and "room iness" these make an nd effec tive , if printed in the riijlit paper. A merchant's cvory-d.ry life is opportunity. No won'ler that the tantalixiug business of siore- kecpiug attracts to it the clever est niinda in every community as it docs. If you want men in count } office who have the experience and training to make : compe tent officials , vole for Van Ant werp for county s > urvuyor and Porter for register of deeds. 'I he Callaway papers l st week had big writings telling of a large , enthusiastic division meeting held over there on tht south Loup , An eye wiluehs to the meeting says that when the time for the meeting rolled around nobody was there. After a time Col. K. I . Braga and one of his lieutenants strolled around to the hall and they went out and nulled in a couple more county seat boomers and they had a monstrous division meet ing. VV. H. Oabortie , who has held the position of deputy county clerk for several years , will be a candidate for the non.iuution for couuty clerk. Mr. Osborne has shown that he is perfectly com petent , and by kind and courte ous treatment to all who has had business with him he has made friends of them all. There is no one more fitted for the place than he is and we hrpj he will receive the nomination Oconto Register. We note from the exchanges that reach our desk that the candidacy of Geo. 1C. Porter for the office of register of deeds is meeting with the approval of the voters in all parts of the couuty. Mr. Porter is well known throughout the couuty as an upright and straightforward official , and when the opportu nity is afforded the people of old Custer to support a man of his standing they do not hesitate iu freely expressing themselves as being ready to help him on to victory. Ansley Argosy. A merchant is a planner a schemer--a visionist . - - perforce. With him to be hard-headed and practical , is to be hard-headed and a practical dreamer , plan ner , lie must see what he wants his store to be ten years from now and then , with , the aid ol unprecedented advertising , he aims to realize his teu-year- ahead hopes in the space of two years , or three. And , illogical as it may seem , he can often do it. It has been done in this city. It is being done now in this city. At Mason City the village election resulted in a victory for the "drys , " thus interfering with a saloon keeper's "personal liberty" and putting him out of business. Then the saloon keeper started a pool hall , which he operated until the village board formulated an ordinance and put him out of that busi ness. So , to avoid the law and ordinance , he continued to oper ate the pool hall , but without re ceiving pay for the games lie was finally arrested for operat ing a pool hall again , and swore that he had received no pay for the use of the tables. And ho also did some other kinds of swearing , but not in court. The people opposed to the pool hall are prepared to prove that he did receive pay for the games , and have brought charges of perjury against him. Where , oh where , will this interference with personal liberty and the en forcement of the law end ? All saloon keepers claim to be anx ious to enforce the law , and they are just like this one. Nebraska State Capitol. Rewarded are the good people of Callaway and vicinity for their admirable- restraint upon horrified imaginations. For some mouths back a spectral beast has made life uncertain for calves and colts in that sec- lion. No effort availed to tracker or trap the animal , and the mys tery could but have been a strain on the neighborhood nerves. In the vicinity of any metropolitan city this would have been a Ben gal tiger escaped from a circus , or a Siberian lion come over by way of Bering strait , or a black hand s ciety at the least. Calm Callaway never dreamed it was anything more momentous than a mountain lion and so has but a few inches to fall when it turns out to have been a genuine gray wolf full as large as a Shepherd dog. State Journal. The Donohoe uou-partians judiciary law enacted by the late legislature has been declared un constitutional by the district court of Lancaster county , Judge Cornish. The court held the act was a violation of Section 22 of the Bill of Rights of the consti tution which provides , "there shall be no hindrance or impedi ment to the right of a qualified voter to exercise the elective franchise , and that all elections shall be free. " The court issued a writ of mandamus to compel the secre tary of state to place the name of John M. Regan , of Hastings , on the ballot as a candidate for the republican nomination for supreme judge. Deputy Attorney General Orant , Martin and Arthur Mul len , state oil inspector , defended the act while General John C. Cowan and C. O. Whedon oppos ed it. The case will be appeal ed to the supreme court. ZUAIBROTA ZEPHYRS. Mrs. A. I. Kouth reports to us that mi eight pound girl was born to Mr. and ilrs. G. C. Rec tor , of the Bow on June 28. Mis. Rector will be remembered as Mrs. Routh's daughter. Chus. Sands attended the Odd Fellows' banquet last Monday evening. Everyone is rejoicing over that fine rain that came to these parts last Tuesday. Miss Eltnira McComas visited Miss Mabel Tappau from Satur day until Wednesday. Harry Ash's brother is helping him again for awhile. Many will remember the Mar tin family that moved to Kansas this spring. News comes of the misfortune of their boy , John , who suffered the loss of his left thumb in a wheel of a cream separator. George Barber made a trip to Hastings , Nebr. , on Saturday to see his brother , Chas , who was taken to the insane asylum about one month ago. Previous to George's arrival his brother re gained his right mind and it is now thought he will not have to remain iu that institution more than a month or six weeks longer. Arthur and Olive Cole have been on the sick list , but are better at this writing. Frank Calleu and Chas. Hall , of Callaway , spent Saturday ant Sunday in this vicinity. A school meeting was belt Monday niyht. Nine months school was voted and a nice large barn is to be built , large enough to accommodate all of the district. Walter Cole is expected home from St. Joseph on next Sunday morning. It is with pleasure that lie comes home much im- mproved.

AH n matter of course , the firtt re- rejolclng was Indulged In when the old bell In the steeple of Independ ence hall rang out Its notes which proclaimed "Liberty throughout all the land , unto all the Inhabitants thereof ; " but It was not until the eighth of July that any grand demon stration was made by the people. Then , as we are told "from the plat form of un observatory erected near the Walnut street front of the state house by Hlttenhouse many years be fore for the purpose of observing a transit of Venus , John Nixon read the Declaration to a vast concourse of people gathered from the city anil sur rounding country. When the reading was finished the arms over the seat of justice iu the courtroom were torn down and burned In the street ; In the evening bonfires were lighted , the houses were illuminated and It was not until a thundershower at midnight compelled the people to return to their homes that the sounds of glad ness were hushed. " Washington received the Declara tion at headquarters In New York , on the 9th of July , and caused It to bo read at six o'clock that evening at the head of each brigade. It was heard with attention , and welcomed with loud huzzas by the troops. Mr. Todd In his "Story of New York'1 writes regarding the scene : "One of the brigades was honored by the presence of the commandor-in- chief. It was drawn up In : i hollow square on the historic Common. Within the square Washington sat on horseback , while an aide In a clear voice read the Declaration. Next morning , at White Plains , the pro vincial congress listened to the read ing , and at its close pledged them selves to sustain it "at risk of their lives and fortunes , ' and then sent a swift messenger to the Now York delegates In congress , empowering them to vote for the Declaration. They had It pro claimed by beat of drum in White Plains , and ordered that It should be publicly read from the city hall In Wall street , within reach of the guns of the British fleet. " In Boston on the 17th of July the Declaration was publicly read , and concerning the celebration , Mr. Gil- man says In his "Story of Boston : " "The day of the Thursday lecture was set apart for the reading of the Declaration , and after a good sermon the congregation followed the crowd to King street. The town was thronged by crowds In holiday suits , with joy beaming from every eye. Ar tillery was drawn up In front of the Jail on Court street , and Infantry lined the adjoining streets. Exactly as the clock struck one , Col. Thomas Crafts appeared on the balcony of the state house , and read the Declaration , the great audience listening with at tention to every word. When ho sat down n shout , "God save our Ameri can states ! " was heard In the hall , to which the throng below responded with three hearty cheers ; the bells rang , cannon were discharged from the shipping and from the forts and batteries , the Infantry followed , and Mr. Bowdoln gave the sentiment , 'Sta bility and Perpetuity to American In dependence ! ' The bettor class of citizens attended a banquet in the council chamber ; much liquor was distributed to the populace , according to the old custom , and the king's arms were taken down from the town house , custom house , courthouse and other places and consumed In a gen eral bonfire in front of the Bunch of Grapes tavern. " There was rejoicing throughout all the "rebellious colonies ; " but , unfor tunately , no detailed account of the festivities can bo found. Watson , in his "Annals of Philadelphia" writes regarding the ilrst Fourth of July cel ebration in that city , 1777 : "Tho 4th of July , being the Ilrst anniversary , was celebrated at Phila delphia with great display and joy About noon all the armed ships and galleys were drawn up before the city , with their gay streamers flying. Atone ono o'clock , all the yards being manned , they severally flred 13 guns. An elegant dinner was given to the congress , the civil and military o Ul cers , etc. The Hessian band played seine Una music , and at each toast there was a discharge of artillery. Towards evening .several troops of horao , n corps 6t nrtlllory and n bri gade of North Carolina , forces , were drawn up in Second street , and re viewed by congress and iho general officers. At night there was ringing of bells and a grand xhlbltlon of lire- n'Jlhtf Common nnfl wx IfcJ boused. Tho-faco of was universal. " Ten Cents for Three Months A Forty Page Magazine 'or the Boys. G.
