George Rightenour called at this office Saturday He was trying to find a da'e for a sale before the first of March but he was finding :t pretty hard [licking as the next ten days are pretty well loaded with sales. He finally chose Friday, February 26. See bis bill on the eighth page of this issue for stock bargains. Owing to a mistake in tbe copy, the fact there will be a free lunch at the Martha Engle sale next Tuesday, February 23, was left off of the bills. We take this way of informing our readers that a sumptuous lunch will be served to those present. They will also sell six head of cattle not on bill, five yearling calves and one 2-year-old steer. Mr. John Otlewski and Miss Rosa Dietz were united in the holy bonds of wedlock at the •'atholie church in this city last Monday morning. The young man is an energetic young farmer of north Loup City town ship and tbe young lady is the daughter of August Dietz, a well-to do farmer of Logan township who came here from Chicago a couple of years ago Tbe young couple is well known to a large number of our readers who will join with us in wishing them a long, happy and successful life. Mr. and Mrs. W. It Mellor, at their elegant home in North Loup City, last Sunday afternoon, enter tained a few friends in honor of Prof. Zwiekey, the lecturer. After a delicious repast prepared under the supervision of ti.e amiable hostess, the afternoon was most pleasantly passed in music and con versation, the professor giving very valuable thoughts on music and painting, lifting the soul of man from the sordid and mercenary into the realms of the ascetic, the beau tiful, the sublime, the purely mtel lectual. The Northwestern is able this week to record something so unusu al in the life of a newspaper man, that it can be plao* d in the archives of history. >unda\ morning at the close of services at the M. E. church the pastor, in thanking the various elements contribu ing to the success of the meetings, in an especial man ner gave credit to the newspapers So remarkable a circumstance, we are aware, may be judged an hallu cination of the edit rial thinker, or if really occurring betokens a com ing millennium to the printer, in which he maybe blessed equally with other forces who are remembered in cards of thanks, resolutions and oth er public methods of appreciation. This, while a strange experience in public manners, can but result in even more strenuous efforts on the part of newspapers to please the public mind, heart md eye. A pro fusion of such bouquets cannot, of course, in memory of past results be confidently expected. Selah! judge Wall had business at Ra yenna, Tuesday. E. S. Hayhurst returned from his trip to Omaha last Toursday. John O'Bryan, who was confined to his home with the grip several days last week, is back to work again. If you never experienced the beau tiful, balmy weather of Southern California, let us assure you that last Saturday morning was just such typical weather. Lawyer Starr has been combining legal lore with artistic carpentering of late and pigeon-holed the results in his office. As a plane worker it is plain to be seen he is an artist. Married, at the St Elmo, Feb 15, at 1:30 p. m., County Judge Angler officiating, Mr. Frank Hildebrant and Miss Mary Tueck. The parties are natives of Austria, but for a number of years have lived in Sher man county. There will be a special program at the M. E. Church, next Sunday evening, in the interest of the Freed raen’s Aid Society. The seryices will be along this line, with music, reading, recitations, papers, etc. All are invited to attend. John Benschoter arrived from Fails City, last Saturday, called by i he alarming illness of his mother. He was obliged to go back home on Monday, but expects to return in a few days. Jake Benschoter, arrived from Falls City, Sunday night, driv ing over from Ravenna. He expects to remain until the best or worst re sults of his mother's illness ensue. Mr. P. O. Reed went down to Omaha, Saturday, where he has the uncomfortable job of sitting on the jury at the special session of the federal court. While there Perry will purchase a big stock of hard ware, tinware, etc, and will open up his stock in Loup City the 1st of March. We predict a good trade for Mr. Reed in his new hardware store. Mesdames W. R. Mellor and R P. Starr made their advent into this world on the same day of the same month, even if in different years, so Tuesday of this week being the an niversary of those interesting events the ladies, with the masculine por tion of their households, togeth r with Messrs, and Mesdames Mathew and Cooper celebrated the occasion with a social evening at the pleasant home of the first named lady. County Clerk Gibson went down Lincoln Monday morning on busi ness. Clerk Gibson makes a splen did and most efficient c >untv officer. He is withal one of the most accom modating officials it has ever been our good fortune to deal with We are deeply indebted to him in many ways, outside his official capacity as well, for personal favors, and take pleasure in publicly acknowledging the same. Last Friday afternoon Mr. How ard Lang of Litchfield brought his son Thomas before the commission ers of insanity for examination and the young man was adjudged by the board to tie a fi1 subject for treat ment at the hospital for the insane. The blow is a severe one to Mr. and Mrs. Lang, who have been compelled to see their son grow up from a prattling babe, eight months old, firmly clutched in the embrace of that horrible malady, epilepsy, and each year growing worse, with no power to assist or cure him, until at last it was necessary to place him under restraint to save him doing great injury to himself. The young man is 23 years of age and appar ently rugged and strong, kind and obedient to his parents, but reason has gradually become dethroned un til they could no longer at end to him at home. He knew full well that he was going to the asylum, yet he never offered a word of ob jection and obeyed his father’s every command. The emotion was almost too great for the kind hearted pa rent, who often turned his head to hide the tear that forced itself to his cheek At the request of the father, Sheriff Williams kindly con sented that the parent should himself convey the son to the asylum, which was accordingly done Saturday. Win. E. Hath of Ar adia, was do-j ing business in this city Thursday j of last week. Mrs. Henry French was seriously 1 ill with la grippe several davs last week, but is up and around again. David French, who has been liv ing at Arcadia, is staying at the home of Ins son Charles, in this city. Wilber Waite bad charge of the Cooper store a few days during the absence of the fountain head. Wil her went at it like a veteran. George Rightenour called after his sale lulls Wednesday and in formed us ihat he had been sick all day Tuesday with la grippe. Mr. Thresher and lus entire fam ily were down with the grip last week, and Mrs Thrasher was espe cially ill and confined to her bed lot several days. Lewis Bechthold, Sr., and family moved into their new residence property on the corner of West avenue and Cedar street Tuesday of this week. K. A. Drapermoved li is Penates and Lares from the Sharp property in the northeast part of town to his, nev, ly finished brick residence on T J West avenue this week. Will those who have not had aj touch of the grip the past few weeks please stand up and be counted? No one rises? Thanks. That ena- j hies us to truthfully say, every one j is or lias been innoculated with the I pesky disease. D. L. Adamson commenced thej work of re painting the inside of I the Baptist church Monday morn ing We understand that he is go ing to re-paper the building also.; Lee seems to have a cinch on church work of this kind. J. W. Woolstencroft and A. C. Snyder, brother of Philo Snyder, I the carpenter, a*rived here from. Fu da, Minnesota, Saturday eyen-1 ing. They are both carpenters and j came here to go to work for Mr.! Snyder at their trade. Prof. Alonzo J. Zwickey of To ronto, Canada, gave the last enter tainment of the lecture course at the opera house last Saturday even ling. Although the weather was most ! unpropitious, a high, raw and cold j wind fairly chilling tt>e marrow in j one’s bones, there was a goodly sized audience present. Pro. Zwick cy’s subject was “The Philosophy < f the Beautiful.” 11 is lecture was most amusing, his descriptive draw ings ami crayon work delighting all as well being sketched very ac curately and true to life and with a marvelous rapidity of execution as tonishing to the beholder. As an entertainer he is par excellence. PUBLIC SALE.

Created Wealth. Something from nothing—a garden from a desert. Such is the history of the irrigated sections, 'l ake land that sells tor fifty cents an acre, put water on it anti it sells for—what? There are quarters of land in irrigated sections of <'olorado that canno> lie pvrchased for $2o,ooo.oO and which earn a remunera tive interest, on that valuation. And yet you can purch se irrigated lands where the soil is perfect beyond belief, wberethe water supplv is penti till and inexhaustible, where climatic conditions are healthful and exhilarat ing, where fuel is abundant and cheap, for front $15 an acre up THE REASONS. The North Platte valley, extending from Bridgeport, Neb., to Guernsv, Wyo., and the Big Born basin. Wyo . have been hut recently made available fo' settlement by the extension of the Burlington railroad into these sections. The irrigating companies must have j settlers along their ditches and they offer siibstauiial inducements m tin* sitape of low priced water rights and lands. 110 W 1X)Nti WILL TIII $ CON TIN U E None may say surely, hut it won’t lie tor long, and the sooner you invest the cheaper will you be able to do so. for the advance is just as sure as has been the aduance in the price of similar lands in otner sections.
