CALL FOR REPUBLICAN COUN TY CENTRAL COMMITTEE. To the Republican Voters: Gentlemen: There will l>e a meeting of the Sherman County Republican Cen tral Committee at Loup City, on March 8th, at 1 p. m., for the purpose of mak ing ilie necessary arrangements for call ing the county convention, and any person wishing to be heard will be given an opportunity to speak. Yours for harmony, II. Smelrek, Chairman. Ucd. Charles Dick succeeds Hanna id U S. senate. Latest reports have it that the .Russians sunk six Japanese war ships off Port Arthur Wednesday. The State Fair Board of Managers met in Lincoln, Tuesday, Chairman W. It, Mellor attending, returning Wednesday evening. They chose the officers for the coming State Fair, among whom was C. J. Tracy of this city for chief of police. Editor Tom Wright of the Ansle\ Chronicle-Citizen is mentioned as a good man for one of the Republican electoral nominations. And why not give the country newspaper men a chance? Tom will be the Wright man for one of the nominations, and if there is any other country printer who wants a go at political glory we,re for btm, too, as no mistake can he made from that good class of people. Here’s a toaster to Tom: “May the Wright man win out.” Sherman county Republicans re fuse to be stampeded along political lines. While all this hubbub and hellabaloo, or words to that effect, is going on over the gubernatorial can dacy, and several would-be candi dates for Mickey’s brogans are indus triously sending out letters and cir culating reprints of solicited newspa per comment, our boys are quietly attending to secular business inter ests, while they are smilingly from Missouri, and will have to be shown pretty good reasons why the present governor should he turned down and * one of the want to bes put id his place. From this field-glass dis. tance to the capitol, we are waiting to know, you know, some good rea son or reasons, other than petty ani mosities and selfish ambitions of cer tain politicians, as to why Sherman county Kepublicans should not sup port the present executive for a sec ond term. Don't be backward about coming forward with your reasons. If Mickey is a bad man, has made a poor executive, has given a weak ad ministration. for God's sake let us cast him forth as unclean, but if he is an honest, upright, consciencious official; if he has given us a clean, able, well advised administration, as it appers to have been, some cogent, convincing argument will have to be forthcoming to displace him, and if turned down by trickery or knavery the people will be hard to appease. Come, gentlemen, give us good sub stantial anti-Mickey argument; we will wait with more of curiosity than of expectation. HOAD NOTICE.

Death of Mrs E E Benschoter Grandma Benschoter, one of the oldest and most respected of Loup City’s citizens, passed away on February 19, just as the gray dawn of morning betokened the coming of another day. Then ended in this life one of the best and most lova ble characters in our midst. Grand ma Benschoter, who was Eugenia E. Showeman, was born in Geneseo county, New York, January 15, 1831, and died February 19, 1904, aged 73 years, 1 month and 4 days. She moved with her parents, when quite young, to Iowa county, Michi gan. She was married to William M Benschoter, August 19, 1854, and to them were born five children —one daughter and four sons. Her four sons, namely, Orlando, (leorge, Jake and John, also a stop son, Al mon, still survive her, but her daughter, Ellen, died at the age of 16 years. On December 20, 1899, her husband also died and was buried beside his daughter in Ever green cemetery, where she, too, was laid to rest. In 1864, deceased moved with her husband and fami ly to Delaware county, Iowa, and in July, 1873, came to Loup City, where she lived until the spring of 1889, when she moved to Richard- ] son county, Nebraska. After the i death of her husband, she returned to Loup City and made her home with her two sons here. The funer al was held from the M. F. church, Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock, the house being filled with friends of deceased who honored her memory. Rev. Madely preached a beautiful and touching discourse, 3fter which the body was laid to rest in the si lent city of our dead, followed by a large concourse of our people. The dc eastd had been for many years a consistent member of the Methodist chinch, and her life was replete with good work. All of her chil dren were present during her last hours, save John Benschoter, who lives at Falls City, as does J«ke and Almon, but who was unavoidably detained at home. The grief strick en relatives have the sympathy of all in their bereavement. The bereaved relatives desire us to say that they very deeply ap preciate the kindness and help ex tended to them m their sad affliction. Please call and see me and make your wants known, if in need of any. thing in my line. T. M. Reed. Circles and Circl Wort Edited by Church Workers. The attendance at the M. E. Sun day school is tine and great interest is manifested. Miss Alice McLaughlin joined the Methodist church Sunday by letter from Aurora, and Misses Mamie Gibson, Lucy Grow and Irene Gib son joined on probation. E. Holcombe led the League meeting Sunday evening and the ex position of the lesson, “Using the Sabbath,” was enjoyed very much. Meedames L J. ILdcombe and L. P. French rendered a solo with duet chorus. The subject of the lesson next Sunday is, “Princely men in the heavenly kingdom.” J. Tracy, leader. Remember the time and be prompt. The Ord Journal of last week says that the revival meetings con ducted by Evangelist Enslow at that place for the past month closed Sunday evening, February 14th. The interest was good frdm tirst to last and more than 150 have pro fessed conversion and the greater portion of them have handed their names to some of the different churches for membership. The Fpworth League bible study course met at the home of E. A. Brown Tuesday evening and al though few attended, a good lesson resulted. The noticeable features were the paper on Herod the Great, by Miss Edna Minshull and the map showing the journeys of Christ in Parts 1 and 2, drawn by the class artist Eugene Henry. Next meet ing at II. S. French’s Tuesday at eight p. in. Sunday morning was clear and cold but despite this fact the con gregation at the M. E. church was large. Communion services were held in the morning. The church was filled in the evening to hear the program on the “Freedman’s Aid and Southern Educational Society.” Rev. Madely’s sermon was on this subject and collection was taken to raise the church apportionment for this good cause. BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES. You are all invited to attend the services next Sunday. We noticed three new faces m the Sunday school today. The ordinance of baptism will be administered to several candidates after the evening services. The subject of our evening ser mon was, “Give us this day our daily bread,” showing that “our daily bread” consists of everything necessary for us. The usual services will be held in the Baptist church next Sunday at the usual hours. We will say to those so badly discommoded by the smell of the paint last Sunday, that it will not be so again, because the painting will be done long enough before Sunday so that the paint will not smell. i\i me young people s meeting Sunday evening thesubjectof “How to spend our Sundays,” was taken uj) and under the wise leadership of Miss Owen a very interesting hour was spent. A number of talks was given on the lesson and we noticed that almost everyone thought that we should follow the example of the Savior in this. Notice of Chattel Mortgage Sale.
