The New Firm.
This week we present the Lou I*
City Northwestern to onr readers
under a new firm name, that of
Buasobeter & Gibson, the present
editor Geo. J£. Bensehotcr and Geo
II. Gibson having associated them
selves togatner as editors and pub
lishers. With the beginning of the
New year we propose to materially
improve iho plant, devoting more
■pace to our home news, and estab
lishing a bureau of news correspon
dence iu different parts of the county
Of coruse it will take a few weeks
and additional expense to get this
system inaugurated, but we will
bring it about as soon as possible.
Mr. Gibson like ourself lias had large
experience in the business, is a hust
ler, and his services will mater
* tally improve the paper in every
respect.
mu win aiso give npcciui aiioiiuu
our job department, baring just put
in a fine line of stationery, and are
in every respect prepared to do work
in the job line witb neatness and dis
patch, and at lowest possible figures.
We wish to say to our friends and
patrons at this lime that we are in
deed thankful for their liberal sup
port in years gone by, and especially
through the long years of drouth and
general depreesion. Many times the
paper was like other lines of business
not what it ought to have been, but
the difficulties have been abridged
through the most ridged strokes of
economy.
However in this new year of 181»8,
with the assurance of better times
.ml witb the able assistance of Mr.
Gibson, we hope to merit a full share
of the public patronage, and shall
put forth our best endeavors to pub
lish a paper, that will wel 1 represent
Sherman county, and her citizens and
merit the endowment ot all. With
News Years Greetings I am
Very Truly Yours,
Geo. E. Benbchoter.
In speaking of my qualifications
the above seems to us to be a little
thick, but tbeu western editors are
allowd considerable latitude.

Our attention has been called to
an error made in our issue of two
weeks ago, when we stated that the
Ludies Aid society was to b? credited
with having seen to it that there
were several poor but deserving fami
lies iu town who had good Christmas
dinners. We have since learned that
it was the work of the members of
the Kpworth League, and uot the Aid
society who are to be credited with
Hus charitable work. This paper
stands ever ready to make cor rent ions
aud extend thanks to all who prompt
ly iufoitn us of any errors that may I
appear. The Kpworth League in this,
city is gradually growing in inteiesl
ami membership aud iis influence,
for good is already assuming large
proportions.

Loup City Camp No tiliti M. \V.
A. held a public installation of otli
cers Tuesday evening, January 4th
in their hall. The affair was of a
very enjoyable social character. The
large hall, was filled toils utmost ca
pacity, even to crowding, by the fam
ilies and friends of the Woodmen.
The following officers were duly in
stalled with impressive ceremonies,
by G. H. Gibson Past Von. Con.:
Venerable Consul, J. L. Hopper;
Worthy Advisor, I. M. Polski;
Exeellant Hanker, J. I. Depew;
Clerk, J, McCoy; Escort, 'V’. J.
Fisher; Watchman, W. II. Conger;
Sentry, John Lofholru; Manager,
Adam Scbaupp. After the ceremo
nies of instillation an address of
welcome was delivered by G. H. Gib
son, largely of a historical character
relating to beneficiary organizations.
There followed a vary interesting
address by Mrs. If. M. Chidester.
Her remarks were made in the inter
est, and on behalf of the Itoyal Neigh
bors. she dwelt largely upon the
necessities of the protection of the
home, uDd argued that the burden
lay equally upon the husband and
the wife. Her efforts for the even
nig ir«um;n in u a*u iijt;icul ij .1 ui ijuj ui
names to institute a camp,of lloyal
Neighbors in Loup City’. Mrs. Chi'des
ter is u very interesting Lady, and
was listened to with careful attention.
The work of the evening closed and
now comes the rattle of dishes, the
rapid rush of Woodmen’ wives, about
tbe tables, spreading tbe elotb, and
laying t he plate, and in shorter space
of time liinu it can be written the
tables were fairly groaning with the
good things that so strongly appeal to
the stomach of a healthy Woodman.
One hundred plates were laid and the
tables were three times filled. Rut
all good things come to an end at
last, and we reluctantly vacated our
plates at the tables. While we were
to full for utterance yet we still look
ed with longing eyes at the great
piles of good things still left which
we were unable to absorb After sup
per the young folks danced for
several hours and all went borne
feeling that it was good to have
been there M oral. If you are not a
■‘Woodman go straightway and be
adpted at once, See!
The Odd Fellows Lodge of this
City installed their newly elected

How to Vtevent F lie union I a.
At this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid of some reliable
cougli medicine is liable to result in
that dread tlisease pneumonia. Wo
know of no better remedy to cure, a
cougit or cold than Ohrmberlaln'i
Cough ltemedy. We have used it
extensively and it has always given en
tire satisfaction Olagab, Ind. Ter.
Chief. This is trie only remedy that is
known to he a certain preventative of
pneumonia. Among many thousands
w ho have used it for colds and la grippe
we have never yet learned of a single
rase having resulted in pneumonia.
Persons having weak lungs or have
reason to fear an attack of pneumonia,
should keep the remedy at hand. The
25 and 50 cent sizes for sale try Oden

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an un
healthy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is evidence of kid
ney trouble Two frequent desire to
urinate or pain in the hack, is also con
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder arc out of order.
WHAT to no.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that I>r. Kilmer's

fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
