Star Entertainment Course The ladies of the Grudatim I.i'.cr- ary Club assisted by the Young Men's Club have arranged for a series' of entertainments for the com'n; fall and winter. The entertainments have been selected with great care and are more expensive and of highet. quality thanany simihr eiter.ain- ments whi havo previmi ly appea cd in Ness City.

The series consists of five attrac lions as follows The' Chicago Glee Club L. B. Wickersham The Fisher Shipp Concert Company of Chicago Dr. James Hedley Osceola Pooler, Reader and Enter tainer. The Chicago Glee Club, the open ing number, costs the comm'tiee $100 almost double the sum paid for any Mu ieal attraction appearing in any previous course Ness ily.

This! is a male quartet of the highest quality, and without doubt stands among the best th? coun ry has eve- produced. The membership of the ompany has been unchanged for eight years. In addition to vhe voca work the Club offers a decidedly novel feiture in the lor cf a quartc of sli le trombones, the k'n; of wild. nr.trum n's. Mr.

Dixtn, a mber of the Club, is a reader aaid imper sonator of the highe class. li presentation of character type such as portrayed by James1 Whitcomb Riley is- par icularly file. Theie readings arc a strong feature of iht po-gram. Altogether the club offers a varied and artislie evening's enter lainment of a distinctly higheT typt han has ever before appeared' in Ness City. L.

B. Wickersham, the second' at traction, is the Prince of Popular Lectiuers. He is a man who pleases the people, the common people, cultured and uncultured. His leciurs are strikingly original and gain an added harm from his rich, musical voice and' dramatic delivery. He has filed the largest number of return engage mentsi in a limited lime and1 territory oU any man who is now, or ever has been, upon the platform.

For the past three seasons his dates were all taken before those of any other lecturer. This record speaks for itself. The Fisher Shipp Concert Con ny is a company of concert artists, and entertainers combln'ng the two prime essentials of a popular attraction, high standard of individual work and perfect concer work. Miss Fishtr Shipp, the ar of the company and the company manager, ir. a reader and soprano soloist of renown.

Etta Goodie Heacock has a beautiful, rich contralto voice which has been cul tivated by years of study under the most competent instructor, and by numerous engagements as soloist at musical festivals and' chautauquas Mr. Lloyd A. Loar is the mandolin soloist andl pianoist. He is master of the an instrument which combines the best qualities of the mandolin and' the1 viola. Mr.

Louis G. Karnes, the cellist, is' mast er of his art, having taughti cello in some of the best musical conserva lories in the country. A very pleas ing and novel feature of this enter tainment is the rendition, as the ing ensemble number, of the clevei little faice, "Oiange Blossoms," whid was written especially for this com pany. Dr. Hertk'i' is one of tho foremost figures on the Luceum Platform oi America.

He stands in his ori ginal and fascinating methods, and by his consumute power moves his list eners to laughter and tears will After a quarter of a century of ser vice, Dr. Hartley still remains one of the masters of the Lyceum. He ha been heard by more tha a mi. lion peop an1 the crdi-t has always been one of unqualified approvai Oceola Pooler is a reader anil im persona tor, whose rendition of the drama, "If I Were a King," in live scemes has- given her world-wide renown. The committee was especially fortunate in securing this number.

The? committee lias assumed quite a risk in securing such higlt priced talent, but they feel that the people of Ness City and community desire the best, and trust that they will show their appreciation by patroiuing the course as liberally as possible. had we thank the Ransom Unio. fo, inviting us to their beautiful little City, and' for their extreme kindness in providing for our needs.

Cardten, City-A. V. McCarty, right of -way agent for the Nebraska, Kan sas Southern railway, has returnee froi'' Kansas City where he has been on business for the company. Mr. McCarty said, in speaking of condi lions in reference to the road, that substantial progress has been mad toward the completion of the woi to be done before beginning aclua construction.

"Some work must be done said Mr, McCarty, "but this thing is being cleared up rapidly and unless some thingi unusual happens to dvlay woik actual construction will be begun be fore cold weather. When construe lion; is begun, the onipany plansi to Wee 4 at work until the entire line completed," F. T. Durnham, secretary of- the company, is in New York this- wee for the purpose of overseeing the en graving of the bond', and some olhe dvtailsi in connection with the financ ing of the road'. Mr.

McCarty says he is meeting' with cxcellini success in securing the right-of-way for the new road. ''The land owners," he said, "realize what the building of such' a line means to their property andl they are quite generous in giving the land necessary, A number deed ed the right-of-way through their Lands in Ness and adjoining counties for sale. Call and see me. of that librality was disclosed. At the time of his election Simon Guggenheimi declared his intention to represent the people in the United States senate.

If he has done so, the leading newspaper in Co'orado has not been able to discover any evidence of thar fact. On the contrary, it alleges that Guggenheim has used the prestage and power of his' office to obtain control and domination of the republican party of his state. The PoU contends that no sover eigin of thi union has ever yet sold out" to any man, and) it con ludes that Colorado will not agree to government by Guggenheim. The presence of men in the United States with no preparation or evidenced aptitude ihe public ser icef with no claim for consideration excepting the possession of money, truly a lamentable fact. Obvi ouslyl the possession of money is not an indication of special fitness for the problems of national legislation.

On, the contrary, the possession of a vast fortune may, by the manner of its accumulation, be conclusive evi dence of the special unfitness of its ownerfor the duties of a member of congress. Ant it the purpose o' the democratic parry to eliminate that unpleasant feature from our public ife by the popular election of United States senators. Mr. Taft doesn't re gard this as a party question. Mr.

Bryan regards it as a great! public question, championed by the demo cratic party and opposed by the re publican party. Where a state is rep evntcdl by a Guggenheim the people, seem to think its a vital question. Such is the news from Colora do, and Colorado is only one of the many states with the Guggenheim brand' of senator. THE ELECTORAL VOTE The' following is the electoral vote by states.
