Magnet Wins One. The Magnet ball team was an easy winner over the West Hill ball team on the 4th. at Sholes, The West Hill boys seemed to be a very nice lot of young fellows but they couldn't or didn't want to play ball, and it seemed like they never let an opportunity go by to make an error, while there was but a very few charged up to the Magnet team, no features worth mentioning were made on either side, Ray Larson made an earned home run while Fred Soost made a three sacker and went home on an over throw.

July 14, page "2" col 2MONITOR BLOOMFIELD. The editor of this paper in company with these jolly good people, P. B. Neff, C. W. O. Johnson, H. W. Phillips, Sam Steiner, Jack Heavsin and E. B. Hammond went to Magnet last Friday evening to take the Rebekah dogrees preparatory to organizing that auxiliary branch of Odd Fellowship in Bloomfield. The trip was made in two autos, the first being driven by Tom Grable and the next by Oscar Eisenbeiss. The first four mentioned made the trip with Mr. Grable and returned safely. The other auto had a mishap at Magnet and the pilgrims with it came home the next day on the cattle cars and we have not dared to ask them any questions about it up to date. The meeting at Magnet was voted a success. Those Magnet Rebekahs are about the nicest, most sociable and entertaining lot it has been our good fortune to visit with during a life time. After the ceremonies of initiation a splended ice cream festival was served with plenty of splended cakes and to say that those weary pilgrims did justice to the luscious spread is putting the proposition very mild indeed. The party is under obligations to brother J. H. Henkel for courtises shown while in the city of Magnet. The editor of this paper wants it distinctly understood that he is not responsible for the actions of Brothers Philips and Neff in discouraging the ladies from enjoying an automobile ride. These gentlemen must be given full credit for their good intentions, yet their looks must have betrayed them. Of course, not being ladies' men they shouldn't have butted in on that particular occasion. Anyhow it was a jolly party and there's none

Our judgement is that R. L. Metcalf, of Lincoln, will be the next United States Senator from Nebraska, there is only one thing that stands in his way and that one thing is his nomination.

OBITUARY Died at the home of her parents Mr. and Mrs. Fred L. Lawton Monday morning at 8:15 Mrs. George A Williamson. age 18 years and 2 months. The deceased was born at Clinton, Ia and moved to Pierce Nebr, with her parents From that place she moved to Lyman County where on May the 17th she was united in marriage to Mr. Williamson. She leaves besides her husband to mourn her early demise her parents and three brothers, George and Seeley L. Lawton, of this place and Leo Lawton. of Prophetstown, Ill.
Seldom is it our duty to record so sad a death as we are now called upon to publish. None but those who have sat in the shadow of a great bereavement can justly weigh such a sorrow as this.
Those who have gone down into the vally of suffering and stood for weeks by the side of a loved one as hope after hope droped away as the petals fall from a fading flower know that such anguish cannot find solace in words. She who has gone forth could not be supported on her solitary path by any earthly friend.
The thought that calls forth our deepest emotions and tenderest sympathy is of the husband of only two short months who has been deprived of a wife's tender love and affection. The husband with a devotion few men are capable of, whose strength was given sweetly, tenderly to this invalid, whose heroic fidelity never faltered, could not detain her by the clasp of earthly love; but after the last word had been spoken, the last sign of recognition was gone a look of peace settled on her face which proclaimed victory, and he knew she was resting on a mighty arm.
The funeral was held from the home at 10 a.m. Wednesday. The Rev. Harold, of Murdo, conducted the services. Interment at the Murdo Cemetery. To the bereaved relatives we extend our heartfelt sympathy.
The above Obituary was handed us by George Craig and speaks for itself. Mr Williamson and his deceased wIfe were well and favorably known in this vicinity, and their many friends feel deeply, effected over the sad occurance.
Mr. Craig further informs us that Mr. Williamson had been kicked by a horse and as a result was in a very bad condition to attend his farm duties which claim his attention. It does seem like that he is enduring more than his proportion of ill luck.
d.August 8, 1910METCALF for SENATOR. Richard L. Metcalf's candidacy for the senatorial uomlnatlon at the hands of the democratic party, commends itself to every lover of fair play. Metcalf believes in the rule of the people and is willing to abide by their findings. Opposed to him is G. M Hitchcock who, as a member of the Douglas county delegation to the democratic state convention derided the "daylight saloon lew", the best piece of liquor !egislation secured in Nebraska in a quarter of a century. The Douglas delegation also refused to endorse the administration of Gov. Shallenberger, admittedly the cleanest and most business like administration Nebraska has ever had Metcalf is absolutely without an entangling alliance. It was his brains and ability that made the THE WORLD-HERALD a power in Nebraska. Broadminded, liberal, thoughtful, he knows what the people want, and he has the ability and the disposition to fight for those regardless of any influence that special intereste might bring to bear. His interests, are wholly with the people. and he owes the corporations and other special intereats absolutely nothing. His candidacy offers a solution of a serious problem. On the one side a gubernatorial candidate admittedly the candidate of the brewers and distillers, and a senatorial candidate seemingly afraid to defend a righteous law and a clean administration for fear of alionating the support at these same brewers and distillers. On the other hand is Shallenberger, the governor who signed the "daylight saloon" law is standing like a rock against the control of the party and of the state by the vicious elements that would degrade the citizenship of the state for tbe sake of paltry dollars. With him stands Metcalf, the senatorial candidate, who believes in progressive liquor legislation. who believes the "daylight saloon" law the best liquor law enacted in recent years who stands for the rule of the people and against the rule of liquor intereats. It should not take long for progressive, right minded. fundamental democrats to decide between the two extrems. Shalenberger for governor, Whitney for Attorney General and Metcalf for Senator - this means the triumph of law and order, the recognition of official duty well done and tireless service loyally rendered.

As we go to press we come to the conclusion, after exhausting all the evidence at hand, on the nomination of a democratic candidate for governor, the only plan left for a reconciliation, of the party, is a recount of tbe ballots, the state over, by a canvassing board appointed by an[d] presided over by the county clerks of the several counties of the state. It seems to be the only way to justly determine the result of the primary, upon the face of facts that there has been found many mistakes unintentional of course, by the canvassing board of the poll books of the primary. We do not contend dishonesty but mistakes which are liable to occur witth the most of us. It seems evident that there will be a recount of the ballots so let us wait and watch.

THE LINCOLN DAILY JOURNAL has cut its price to o* dollar from now until January 1, 1910(1911?), without the Sunday. The big Sunday paper will be added for only a quarter extra, therefore most people will no doubt take the $1.25 worth This makes an exceedingly low price during a specially interesting time as nearly every family will want a Lincoln paper during the next few months. THE STATE JOURNAL's reputation as a free, independent, clean newspaper will prove of special advantage during the warm campaign now begun. The paper stops when the time is up without any notice from you whatever, so that you see it is no plan to get you started and then force the paper on you.
Bixby, the poet philosopher of THE JOURNAL is worth the price of admission himself. State telegraph is a strong feature and sporting cranks are well satisfied. The thing above all others is the fact that when you see anything political in THE JOURNAL that its for the benefit of the people at large and not for the selfish political interests of the owners. No booze ads, no nasty medical ads, no fraudulent investment schenes. Fact is, its the kind of a paper you want in your family. Why not try it a dollar's worth at this cut price?

An exchange says: If county option means prohibition, the fellows who make that assertion admit that a majority of the people want prohibition. County option means majority rule in the counties on the question of license, and it means neither more nor less than that. If any one believes in local option, making the county the local unit ought to appeal to them as a mighty fair, arangnament, is view of the fact that it is the unit in the matter of public taxes.
