I THE OLD VETERANS REMEMBERED.
' Decoration Day at Loup City dawned
olear and cool but shortly after sunrise
clouds began to flit across the heavens
and old sol, by times was obscured from
view, but all day was eool and a typical
day for an outing. The people began to
gather early and by 10, o'clock the town
was comfortably Ailed. The buisness
houses were all beautifully decorated
with the stars and stripes, and here and
there could be seen the single star of
Cuba, honored and revered next to old
glory. Some were reminded that they
bad dear relatives, and all that our brave
boys were on their way to face the shot
and shell of the half civilized dons, that
a downtrodden people might be free.
At 10:30, the Loup City cornet band
formed a circle at the south west corner
of the square and with a few well execut
ed pieces reminded the people that the
time had come to join in the solemn
but pleasing ceremonies of again doing
homage to our Soldier dead. The school
children were formed in line at the ope
ra house, and marched to Kail ltoad St.
beaded by the Marshall band, where the
old soldiers and Ladles of the G. A. R
awaited them. The line then, headed
by Ibe cornet band marched east to the
south cast uorner of the square, thence
north to the north west, and then west
to the opera bouse as per program, after
which they listened to several short
speeches. The principle speech was de
livered by lion. A. B. Culley, In his most
eloquent and pleasantstyle. Evcry-body
agreed that Mr. Culley delivered the
masterpiece of all his speeches on this
occasion, and aueceeded in gaining for
himself an enviable reputation as a pat
riotic orator. lie spoke for forty min
ntes and held the audience in rapt atten
tion. After the speaking all adjourned
to Watklnson's hall, and the Ladles of
the G. A. R. spread a repast fit for the
Gods and hugely enjoyed by the devil,
—of the Northwestern.

The Commencement exercises of the

Long before the time for the pro

and by 8. o'clock the building was crowd
ed. t>o great was the interest manifest
ed by our people, when the hour arriv
ed for the opening every seat was filled
and many standing up. The audience
was entertained for a few moments by
a Piano solo, by Miss Sadie Walworth.
The evenings work was opened bv a
prayer by Rev. Hotchkln, followed by
a song ‘‘Until the Dawn" by Parks, ren
dered in delightful melody by Messrs
Barnes, Smith, Lelninger and Mellor,
after which Miss Bessie McPherson,
first graduate on the program delivered
the Salutatory “Victory brings its re
ward.” Her voice rang out in clear con
cise tones without any hesitation which
denotes much bard work in preparing
for the occasion. She was followed by
Master Arthur Inks, with “By toiling
is the prosperity of Nations Bnilded,"
He delivered his oration with noless an
equipoise than did Miss McPherson,
and he indicated by his easy grace that
all he waats is practice to make a suc
cess as an orator. Miss Belie Mulick,
came next with “ Is Labor Honorable,”
which she delivered in the very best
style, convincing her audience that con
stant application bad brought its reward.
After which Miss Hattie Throckmorton
favered her bearers with “From the
Beach we View the Ooean,” a beautiful
subject which was well written and
faultlessly delivered. Master Newton
Pilger, then delivered his interesting
oration “The American Flag.” This
being a subject fraught with much in
terest at the present time and was very
greatly appreciated by the audience.
He imparted much information that

The senior editor of this paper went
to Shelton last Saturday to visit the
scene of the distructive cyclone which
occured six miles east of there the week
before, and also to tie at the bed side for
a few hours, of his brother-in-law, Wil
son Itaillle, who was a helpless victim
of its tarrilie forces. As we stated last
week Wilson had Ids arm broken in
four places and received internal in
juries from which it will take weeks to
recover. On Friday of last week a
consultation of four doctors was had,
the object being to ascertain whether or
not amputation was necessary. It was
decided at that time to wait a few days
and when we started for home Monday
morning the attending physician
thought there was a possible chance to
save the arm as the swelling iiad been
greatly reduced. On Sunday last he
was moved from the Misuer stock ranch
six miles, where he was at work when
hint, to his home with ids parents In
Shelton. Wilson is a member of tlie
A. 0. I' W. Shelton lodge and bis mov
ing was attended by several inenbers, in
cluding the attending physician Dr.
Smith, Master Workman, Peter Arnold;
■lames Stephens, Recorder, and Walter
Stephens, Receiver.
The wreck which was left in the path
of the storm was a sight to behold. At
the ranch where Wilson was hurt a
large frame barn anil several other
buildings were completely demolished
Upwards of twenty thousand feet of
lumber was twisted into kindling wood.
One building sitting near the resi
dence was apparently lifted to a height
of a hundred feet anil doppeddowu in
the middle of a cottonwood grove with
out Injuring it. The other buildings
were twisted all to pieces, and for a
mile In the direction of the storm the
prairie could be seen with sticks and
...■lla.ln.a ul ill, I.. a .'II- .1. n >.nr.,1

slanted in every direction. Large trees
were twisted off and every building on
the ranch except the residence were des
troyed. All of the men. some seven or
eight were in and around the barn, and
all but Wilson escaped with slight
bruises.
