CUSTER COUNTY'S
ANNUAL CONTEST

The annual contest of the Gus
ner County High School Associa-
ton will be held at Broken Bow
on May 9Th. The Indications
are that this will be one of the
most interesting meetings ever
held by the association. Four
High Schools will be represented
in the Declamatory Contest, and
two in the Oratorical Contest.
The prizes in each class will be
the same as ast year, a Gold
Medal for first and a Silver Med
al for second. The schools that
have planned to take part are
Broken Bow, Ausley, Mason City
and Merna. The Athletic prog
ram will be unusually full of int
crest and will probably be held at
the Fair Frounds, as it is plann-
ed to charge small admission
fee, to betray the necessary ex.
penses and to provide medals for
the victorious contestants. Am
ong the probable events may be
mentioned the mile running race
and a five rnilc relay race neither
of which have hithertofore been
attempted. A game of ball will
be played between the represen-
tatives OF two of the schools.
Watch for a complete program
in next weeks paper.

ROBBERY
EXECUTED HERE

An Elgin gold watch, a Mas.
onic locket, aud grey overcoat
was stolen from Felix Rothchild,
a Chicago travelling man who
was registered at the Grand Cen
trail Hotel Tuesday. Rothchild
went to his room about $3.50 in
the evening to sleep until the
ll:27 train came in nd when he
awoke his belongings were gone
He reported the matter to the
officers and offers $50. reward for
the return of the property aud
will give $25. additional for the
arrest of the thief.
1t was learned later that a
man giving his name as Charles
Ellis and claiming to be from
Billings came to the hotel early
Tuesday morning aul secured a
room. He claimed to be sick and
wanted to rest while he was
in his room all day and his meals
were sent to him. He left some
time during the night without
paying his bill and took with
him a pair of pants belonging to
to Luther Miller. A pair of
gloves was found on the back
steps indicating that he had
gone out the back way. He
left fairly good over coat and
two pair of pants in his room
There was considerable difference
in the size of the pants aud this
is taken to indicate that he had
stolen them some where else and
had left them in order to get
rid of them. Nothing further
has been heard from him,

FELLOW PARTlSANS.
DOESN'T LIKE Oils WORK
Representative Taylor declares that Sen.
atOr Oils should be cIassed with
Senator Ransom OF Omaha


wenty-two Democrats, two
Republicans and +. II. Purcell
constituted a crowd which as.
senbled in the court house last
Saturday afternoon, for the con-
ference of the Democrats and
Populists, Mack Warrington
was elected temporary chairman
and Edward Foley, Sr. was chos-
en- secretary. Representative
Taylor was present, and he was
called upon for speech. Mr.
Taylor stated that he considered
that the legislature had done
some work that was commend
able and some that was not COM
mcndable, and while he believed
that it should be commended for
the good work it had done, he
did not believe in whitewashing
over the condemnable part of its
work.
Resolutions were introduced by
c. w. Beal, declaring the con-
tinued faith of the Democrats in
the National Platform of 1908,
demanding tariff revision and an
income tax at the present con-
gress, and commencing the SEN
ator and representatives from
this district.
Taylor had intimated before
that he and Senator Oils bad
not agreed perfectly and he now
stated that he did not care to
have his name included in a res
olution commencing Mr.. Oils.
Marshall Eddy, Ross Moore.
John Squires, II. J. Shinu and
w. B. Eastman all took part in
the debate on the question of the
adoption Of the resolutions AS
the discussion grew warm, Tay-
lor declared that Oils was as bad
or even worse than Senator Ran
som, Of Omaha, who was the
recognized corporation tool of
the Senate, and that his name
could rot be coupled with that
of Oils with his consent.
The trouble between Taylor
and Oils seems to have arisen
very largely over the, question of
the passage Of the Physical VAL
uation bill. Taylor insisted that
the South Omaha Stock Yards
railroad should be included in
the bill, while Oils opposed that
and favored excepting the one
road from the operation of the
law

by intense interest and earnest

Normal, DR.. Clark not being at

last year, has made arrangements
for work elsewhere, hence, will
not be here this summer. With
these exceptions, the faculty will
be the same as last year, with the
possible exception of Supt. Howe

other Junior Normal. If the re-
quest is granted, some other COM

The entertainment course will
consist of two numbers. possibly
three. Frank A. Robertson will
give one of his world famous
"Travelogucs," the subject being
The Last Days of Messina. "
Mr.. Robertson was in Messina
few weeks previous to the earth
quake, and took large number
of views. Upon hearing the
news of the earthq uake, be re-
turned to Messina as soon as he
could secure passport, and
spent several days in taking
views of the scenes of the ruins
and of the relief work. He thus
has probably the most complete
and the latest series of views of
the city before its destruction,
and the earliest views afterward.
These will be shown both in the
moving pictures and in the mag
niticent colored stereoptican
views which have delighted Rob-
erson's hearers in every part of
America.
The second number of the
entertainment course will be pre-.
ssnted by Adrian M. Newens,
who needs no introduction to
Broken Bow audiences.
The Junior Normal term will
last eight weeks, instead of six
as last year, beginning June 9TH
and ending July 80. The first
two weeks will be the Institute
for Custer County teachers, and
probably for some of the neigh
boring counties.
