???, Sioux City News $1.40. The Old Settlers picnic at Coleridge on the 26th inst. Sioux City Daily News, at this office $1.40 per year. Roy Jones, of Wayne, is visiting with friends here, this week. The last ten days, has been the hotest for 10 years, in this town. Let Mrs. T. W. Driver do your plain sewing, it will be worthly done. Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Hathaway's team ran away one day last week throwing them out of the buggy, they were not seriously hurt but were considerably shaken up. August 19 page "1" col 3Better than ever, Sioux City Daily News $1.40 a year. The Magnet Independent Telephone Company is extending its line east of here. A party of our young people took an Auto ride down to Sholes Sunday. Ed Willey, the piano man from Omaha, was in town Thursday afternoon. L. P. Hathaway lost a $150 horse Monday overcome with heat was the cause. Harvest is now over, stacking and thrashing is the order of the day among the farmers. Mr. Hogeboom, of Bloomflied, was here Monday afternoon greeting old acquaintences. Just received a car of Yough. Lump Coal. Best for thrashing engines at Bagley Renard Co. Mrs. Andy Olson took the evening train, at Mc Lean, for Savidge, Monday, where she will visit with friends for a few days. Our republican exchanges are grooming Geo. W. Wiltsie of Randolph for congressman next fall. Oh! But they have not reckoned with Grand Pa Latta about that job. A farmer north of Randolph last week set a trap for a boy whom he suspicioned of pilfering and poisining his stock. The trap was a loaded shotgun which did not wait for the boy but took a shot at the man who set it as a result the farmer is short one of his hands. August 19 page "1" col 4Mrs. S. T. Black had the misfortune to slip and badly sprain her ankle Friday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Wm Soost and Mr. Soost's parents visited with Henry Soost, south- west of Randolph, Sunday. Frank Furness was in Omaha on business Tuesday, while there he bought a car of young horses. A half dozen of our base ball enthusiasts took in the Bloomfield Correctionville, Ia game at the former place Sunday afternoon. Gus and Ed Sherer and Clouse Bloomquist took the train Wednesday morning on the Burlington for Luther Wyoming on a land seeking expedition. Mrs. C. F. Williamson and daughter, Mrs. Ray Baker, of Lynch, are visiting with friends in this vicinity this week. They seem to like Magnet and vicinity just as well as ever. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Case took the early morning train for their home at Aurora Tuesday. It has been fifteen years since Mr. Case was in this part and many changes have been made to such an extent that it was hard for one so familiar with this country a few years ago could today observe any of the old landmarks. Mr. and. Mrs. Case are the proprietors of the Midway Hotel at their home town and it is gratifying to know that they are quite successful in their line of business. August 19, page "1" col 5Primary Election Pre- The primary election passed off very quietly here Tuesday there being less then one third of the precinct vote cast, still the vote larger then a year ago owing to the contest between Soost and Durle for commissioner from the second district on the democratic ticket and as a matter of course the democrats had a majority of 40 of all votes cast. Soost ran behind his ticket on account of there being a few spoiled ballots which were not counted. The official count for the county offices follows:
From now on until the second day of November the contest will be on. We believe that both parties have the best men nominated for the several county offices that were available from their party ranks. Any intelligent person may earn a good income corresponding for newspapers; experience unnecessary. Send stamp for particulars. Empire Press Syndicate, Middleport, N. Y. Bloomfleld's deep well is one of the wonders of north east Nebraska. They have not struck oil yet but have gone through several veins of coal one of them is over six feet thick and of very good quality, yet it is in the ground over 600 feet. It would be next to impossible to name the persons who attended the base ball tournament at Randolph Thursday and Friday. Over 100 tickets were sold for that place besides quite a number that drove. It has been estimated by those who were there that there were over 150 persons from this place and vicinity attended the doings. August 19, page "2" col 1
