Sound with all their natural salt sea flavor retained. They
are absolutely pure have never been touched by human hands
nor soaked in ice water. You get solid oysters , little or no

last Friday at a one o'clock lunch
eon , at the charming1 home of
Mrs. StucUpy on the hill , just
north of town.
Invitations were issued to thirty
five ladies. In some way it
leaked out that Mrs. Stuckey was
celebrating * a birthday anniversay
that day. If Broken Bow ladies
are adepts in anything , it is in
arranging pleasant surprises ,
and Mrs. Stuckey was certainly
completely surpised when each
guest brought with her a lovely
cup and saucer as a tangible
proof of the best wishes of the
giver , for many , many happy re
turns of the day ,
The cups and saucers were
used at the elaborate five-course
luncheon , served by the. hostess ,
at daintily arranged small tables , "
scattered about in the reception
and dining room ,
Score cards answered the pur
pose of place cards , and were sug
gestive of Hallowe'en.
After luncheon , whist was
played at seven tables. All dur
ing the afternoon , delicious pine
apple punch was served from a
table in the hall way.
Mrs. Willing having the high
est score , was presented with a
large picture , by Miss Greningerf
who gave all the favors ; Mrs.
Homer Bruce received the consolation
lation favor , a Florentine frame ;
Mrs. E. C , House , having the

late hour.
RUHB IIAI.T.OWK' N PARTY.
The Maauma N. I. T. Club
gave a delightful Rube Hallow
e'en dance last Friday night at

Two weeks previous invitations
were issued to Rubes all over the
state ; they were printed in color
ed jletters , many of them [ upside
down , on large sheets of brown
paper , folded several times and
tied with pink string and sealed
with wax.
Then began a rummage
through garret , chest and trunk
for apparel to conform the com
mands of the invitations ; even
the "Old Clothes Man" must
have been appealed to from the
looks of some of the Rubes.
The opera house was decorated
with large bunches of grain and
cornstalks and a row of jack
o'llanterns answered the purpose
of footlights. There were jack
o'lanterns also on the piano.
Ilerr liube Professor Taylor
wearing all the medals he re
ceived during his recent tour of
was there with his little
German band and rendered ex
ceptionally good music. Madame
professor was the star Rube ,

dot Shot.
Last Saturday evening a party
of boys were out after the man
ner of youths on Hallowe'en ,
overturning outhouses and other
wise destroying property and
having a little "fun. " In their
rounds they paid a visit to the
Broken Bow business college and
proceeded to do things to the
property on the premises when
Roy Parker , who was cuscouncc
; n a buggy keeping lonely vigil ,
arose , in his might and began to
bombard the starry firmament
with a shotgun and at the same
time commanding in stentorian
tones that the depredators stop.
This the marauders failed to do
and the shooter concluded that
he would lower his gun and
throw up the dirt around their
feet. He failed to shoot low
enough and Ralph Bishop , one
of the crowd , received a load of
shot in the back of the head ,
back and armHe was assisted
to the home of Professor Cornell
where Dr. Penninglon was called
and removed a countless number
of shot from the person of Ihc
young man. Al Ihis wriling ho
is somewhat sore but well on the
road to recovery. Parker was
arrested Monday morning and
released under Si,000 bonds to
appear before the courts.
'
'The accident is regreUed by
all and while Parker had no
legal righl lo shoot , the boys
certainly had no legal righl lo be
lucre lo be shot. The con
servative sentiment of the cily
is Uial Ihe mailer has gone far
enough and points a moral which
should be heeded by all partici-
panls.

NEWS OF ELECTION
Al noon today ( ThuradrO
lurus were not all in , but IMCM.I
had been received to show lUdt
couuly division had been snowed
under by at least 1,500 votes.

George E. Penniugtou , coroner.
George W. Ileadley , democrat
and peoples independent , was reelected -
elected by a majority of three
votes , and there is a chance tha t
the official count will change his
victory into defeat.
Next week Tint RUPUHUCAN
will publish the official count by
townships.
Latest returns from the state
at large show the election of the
entire ticket by safe though
small majorities Douglas and
Lancaster counties swing back
into the republican column wilh
handsome majorities while other
counties in Ihe stale also make
republican gains. The Omaha
Bee Ibis morning says :
Returns from 743 precincts of
the stale on Ihc judicial ticket
reveal the candidates nt both
parlies so closely bunched that
it will probably take the com
plete figures to determine who
wins.
The average loss per precinct
of the piecincts heard from is a
fracliou over 15 lo Ihe precincl ,
which , if uiainlaiued in Ihc. bal
ance of Ihe state , which is a
little more than half of the
entire vote , would eat into Ihc
republican majorities decidedly.
Hut the counties not yet reported
are not likely to increase the
pcrceulage of loss and should
lower it.
In the 743 precincts for which
computation Ins been made
Judge Barnes , republican , is Ihc
high man , with Judge Fawcelt
low on Ihe same licket , bul separ-
alcd by only aboul f > 00 voles.
Judge Dean , democrat , is low for
Ihe opposing ticket , and Judge
Sullivan high , but only about
200 betler than the low man.
In Ihcse precincts Judge Fiw-
ccll has a plurality over Sulli 'on
of 2,1'J2 , which is about e
difference lhal has separalfid
high and low men in tlifar. . ,
apparcnl percentage of loss.
This is an excellent chance
that the republican ticket will
pull through , though the margin
svill be extremely narrow.
New York City has elected the
democratic candidate , Jur'gc
William J. Gayer , mayor , while
in Philadelphia the effect of Le
reformers to break the republic an
organization has failed.
In New Jersey the republicans
held their own everywhere.
Tom L. Johnson , democrat ,
has been defeated as mayor of
Cleveland.
The latest returns from San
Erancisco indicale that L'rancis '
J. Heney , democrat , has been de
feated for district atlorney.
In Maryland Ihe paramour t
issue was the so-called disfranch
ising amendment designed 11
eliminate the negro as a political
faclor. The relurus in lhu
slale came in slowly and the re
sult is still uncertain. The in
dicalioiis arc , however , that tlu-
amendment has been dcfcaled.
In Cleveland , Tom L. Johnson ,
democrat , for our terms mayor
of thejcily , was defealed for a.
fiflh term by Herman C. Baebr.
In Pennsylvania the chief in
terest centered on Philadelphia ,
where Ihc reform element en
deavored in vain lo break the
power of Ihe local republican or-
ganizalion. Samuel P. Rolaii
wasrc-elecled | district attorney
on the republican lickel by a
surprisingly large majority. In
the stale tickel Ihc republicans
elected the state treasurer , the
auditor general and .a ( judge 01
Ihe supreme court.
The democratic victory in Vir
ginia brings Judge Mann to tb-
office of governor. His majority
apparenty will be the usual one
of the state ,
