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.

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.

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.
