It's pretty nearly all over now

Word comes from North Platte
that Prof. e. A. Garlish, former
ly of this city, is the proud father
of bouncing baby boy.

papers will be profusely illus
trated with pictures of the sue
cessful nominees and--roosters.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Bruce re-
turned home last night from a
two weeks visit with their son
and family at Naponee, Nebraska.

Broken Bow are heard to remark:
II never saw so many pesky flies

Miss Francis Langson went to
York last Saturday where she
will remain for an indefinite
length of time. Her mother,
Mrs. Lizzie Langson, will GO

Something is wrong-radically
wrong-in this neck O. woods in
the matrimonial whirl. No
marriage licenses have been
issued in the county since October
23rd. We can't expect very much
of an increase in population at
this rate.
Among other things ordered
by the ladies of the Baptist
church to serve for dinner and
supper at the Temple theatre on
election day are us spring
chickens and other eatables in pre- =
portion. They will have enough,
however, to satisfy all, no matter
how heartily they eat. Make
arrangements to eat at the
Temple that day.
Quite number of pranks were
played last night, some of them
still in evidence at noon today,
the result of celebrating Hal
lowe'en. One of the ludicrous
scenes to greet citizens this morn
ing was a wheelbarrow in the
top of a tree. We have heard
of no destruction of prosperity
: further than strip of sidewalk
turned over near the Bruce lum-
Der yard.
The Central Telephone COM
pany has recovered from the shock
given it last week by the sleet
storm. Here in the city dozen
| poles were broken off and about
! one hundred phones put cut OF
5 business, while all of the twenty
] three country lines, with one
| exception, were down in number
= of places. AS soon as the storm
e subsidized the company put force
o of men to work and all phones
r were again connected by evening
yesterday.

d the subject is apples, of which
: twelve car loads have been re
- ceived in Broken Bow the pas
n four weeks, at an average of SOL
n bushels to the car, 5000 bushels
: in all. This is certainly "som'
e apples" and leads one to wonde
II what in the world a town thi
size will do with so many. In
V couple or three months hence
S when they're scarce, we'll wonde
v what in Sam Hill became of 'em
