Frank, as we all called him, was a general favor ite in this place, a kind word and a smile was his characteristic, his kind heart always throbbing for the worthy poor and bis purse was in his hand when gaunt necessity was abroad. He came to Loup City early in '79 and made this his borne for long years. He went from here to Pennsylvania and married the girl of his choice some 15 years ago, re turning with her they settled down to housekeeping. Two children, Willie now about 14 and Anna past 13, were born to them Th -y afterward moved back to Penna., returning again to Dan ville, 111., where Mrs. Simpson died a few years ago, after which he brought the two children back to Loup City, saying that our people were the best he had ever met and he desired to raise them here.

A CENSUS ENUMERATOR'S EXPERIENCE To Tna Northwestern:—A continuous ride of 22 days, a visit to every home and farm, u word, u shake and a nod to every man, woman and child in Rockville Township Is the only way I cun Intellgcntlv express the pleasures and possibilities of a census enumerator, and thinking your readers would accept a few thoughts treasured while swinging round the township, I herewith Jot them down. I want to thank all for the kind and cordial rescep tlon accorded me, for their interest In my work and appreciate their help to me In completing ihe census of Rockville township. Ten years has elapsed since t uklng the elev enth census, many chungci have tuken place In that short time. Ten years ago seven-tenths of the people of Rockville township lived in dug-outs and sod houses, but few frames were found and orchards and groves were few and far betwc n. roads meandered and serpentined here and there as the convenience of the far mer and traveler would dictate. To day In place of dug-outs, sods and holes for bouses u large percent of them have built good substan tial frame houses of brick and lumber. They have come up out of the sloughs an 1 draws and placed this building on cites well elevated and beautiful groves orchards sad lawns surround many of them Roads are on sectlou lines and about V of the township is under fence Those that are yet in their sn.l houses are encouraged and a few good crops at present prices will en able them to Improve their farms and homes. The most notable feature of thrift aid prosper ity are the many large and comfortable hums well painted und some of them supplied by pipe line. 1 would like to write up 50 of the best Improved farms in the township but time and spare will not permit. The per cent of the several nalionalltlee of Rockville township can be expressed as follows: About four-tenth Polish, three-tenth Danes and Swedes, the balance Germans und Americans about equal ly divided. I found one Dap one Fin und one Norwegian. Our Polish citizens to a unit are good substantial farmers: are more inclined to accumulating property than to beautifying their homes, although many have tine farms and brick dwellings with handsome surround ings, they are lovers of good horses and most of them have them. The Danes and Swccdes are bard workers, model farmers, frugal livers generoup and hospitable to a fault; are lovers of good horses fine large and commodious barns and line homes. They take pride in surround ing their homes with trees, flowers and shrub ry are friends of edueutlon and the schools. Of the German I need say but little They have surely and steadily gained and made a reputa tion as farmers, merchants and all other voca tions decreed to man to master that they and the American people can well he proud of. and I can only add that they are holding their own in Rockville township As I passed from farm to farm I was pleased to note with few exceptions, clean and neat houses, a kind and hospitable feeling toward strangers, egar to talk about their condition, their prospects and their future possibilities. Every hotly seemed to have plenty to eat and wear, heard no cala mity howls about hard times and no money. All seemed cheerful of the low priced Imports and the high priced products of the farm. My official duties restrained me from Inter viewing these people politically, but I could not but understand that a change bark to Cleveland. Kelly a»d Coxey s fond old Demo cratic days would not tie welcomed, and if straws show which way the wind blows. I am constrained to conclude that force of habit and a heavy laying on of the party lash com pels them to vote for Hryan. Hut the twinkle of their eye denotes that their ernest and heart felt prayer Is No Change, Oh Lord Ne Change. E. G. PdlOB.
