W. H. Kennedy the jolliest old bach
elor in the west, or anywhere else in
this wide, wide world, for that matter,
returned to Loup City last Thursday
evening, after a summer’s absence in
Ohio and other states. We are sorry
to learn, however, that he will be with
us only for a short time, as he has
bought a farm at his old haunts, near
Columbus, McKinley state, and expects
to return there to live. That’s a mean
Irish trick the colonel has played in
so doing.
Work on the Hansen & Fletcher
and Draper Brothers brick block has
begun in earnest The bank part will
be 23x100 feet, two stories high, the low
er story for the bank proper, and the
upper for offices. Draper Brothers
will have 27 feet frontage on Main
street by 100 feet back. They had in
tended also building two stories, the
Odd Fellows taking the upper story,
but their constitution being prohibitive
unless owning the location whereon the
building may be situated, they could
not receive a dispensation, hence the
Messrs. Draper will make their build
ing only one story for the present.
A letter from Henry Eisner dated at
Dubois, Wyo, Sept. 10 says: “We are

well as one of the best orators. If we

then some.

expects to leave for Chicago the last of
the week, to perfect himself in his

practice of his profession, and has had
splendid success during his stay
among us We are glad to announce
the doctor’s intention of returning
here in the spring. We wish him suc
cess in his studies.
There is one traveling ra«n who will
cancel future visits to Loup City at
least for a season. He might have
been innocent and guileless, but that
will never save him for “butting in.’
The tragic tale unfolds in all its hideous
ness as follows. He was standing in
a Model restaurant in our city, when a
prominent Belle, accompanied by a
Growiug young man entered and en
gaged the urbane front-row proprietor
in a conversation relating to a long felt
want—it supper time. As they left the
food dispensatory, the t. m. inquired if
the couple were husband and wife,
with a woe-begune-widower look in his
pale pink eyes. “I should say not,” was
the response. “Of course not,” returned
the p. p. eyed t. m, “I should Jmve
known better; any one could see she
was the kid’s mother.” [Slow curtain.

Itae Northwestern acknowledges
pleasant calls, during the Baptist asso

Hulbert of Taylor, and T, S. Smith
state evangelist, with headquarters at
Bridgeport,
Several loads of Loup City people pic
nicked at the river, Sunday. One of
the pleasant pastimes, we learn, was
wading in the river, which may account
for the rarifled atmosphere about the
city Monday.
While taking a boat ride on the river;
Sunday, two Loup Cityites were dis
cussing the fact of a boat always over
turning to the right, when suddenly the
theory and occupants were upset to the
left and le#t in seme four feet of thor
oughly leavened and not altogether
lovely Loup river mud and moisture.
The solution solved the question-and
the discussion whs not resumed It
was c Starr performance.
While driving at a brisk trot, Sun
day afternoon, with Lawyers Mathew
and Starr in tiie buggy, Mr. Mathew's
fine buggy team became disengaged
from the vehicle by the tugs getting
loosed, the tongue dropping and break
ing, overturning the buggy, throwing
both occupants violently to the ground,
Mr. Starr underneath, with Mr. Ma
thew on top. While Mr. Mathew es
caped uninjured, Mr. Starr was quite
severely bruised about the hips, neces
sitating the use of crutches. However,
the meteoric descendency of that par
ticular Starr is not permanent. No
damage was done the team which was
soon caught. Later, we learn that with
the exception that the tugs did not be
come unhitched until after the tongue
fell and broke, that Starr fell on Ma
thew and the buggy on Starr, and a few
other little inaccuracies, the first report
is substantially correct, but we couldn’t
tear the item to pieces for such minor
corrections. We have, however, killed
the reporter.
Does advertising pay has been much
discussed in our city of late, pro and
con; tbe con by at least two married
men. A few days since, this office
turned out some circulars of an adver
tising naturfe for a mercantile firm,
which, together with a necessary arti
cle for a lady's toilet, were enclosed in
bulky envelopes, and addressed to the
sex for whom were most appropriate.
These enyelnpes when taken from the
postoffice developed so much latent cu
riosity among the assembled male bi
peds that shredded envelopes were soon
numerous about them and disclosed the
contents to their view, which mental
calculation not being able to evolve how
one could cover two resolved into a
game of giveaway and "jefflng” until
two of tbe aforesaid were left without
either a right or left to be mated and
the wrath of their mates to be appeased
later, proving games of chance are of
ten two-edged swords, cutting both
ways It was another Starr perform
ance, in which John’s son also partici
pated. Bat we draw tbe curtain.

Surveyor Wulf is doing good work

Poet’s Pet Goose.
Lord Byron at one time was deep
ly attached to a pet goose. He had
bought the bird to fatten up for his
New Tear’s dinner. In the meantime
the poet and the bird became so mu
tually attached that he could not kill
It. Instead, he bought another for his
dinner and had the pet goose swung
la a cage under his carriage when he
traveled.
Baptist Association Meeting.
The Grand Island Association of
Baptist churches met with the Loup
City church Sept. 13, 14 and 15,
closing too late to be reported last
week.
About thirty delegates and visit
ors were in attendance, among them
some of the prominent ministers of
the state.
On Tuesday,evening,at the open-'
ing of the session, the Baptist house
of worship was filled to listen to
Rev. C. J. Pope and President Geo.
Sutherland of Grand Inland.
Rev. Pope gave way to Mrs. C. J.
Adair, a very forceful speaker, well
known to Loup City people. She
gave a telling interpretation of the
parable of the unjust steward.
Dr. Sutherland in his address
showed why Christian education is
necessary. lie declared that Grand
Island college is the best place to se
cure an education in the state. As
proof, he cited the winning of the
Oxford Cecil Rhode’s scholarship of
$4,500 by a Grand Island student.
The unexcelled instructors of this
college make it possible and proba
ble that the grand prize will be won
bv this school !for many years to
come.
Among the many good things of
Wednesday’s session were fine ad
dresses by Rev. L. C. II. Biggs,
Sunday school missionary, and Rev.
A. E. Carson, a foreign missionary,
temporarily pastor at Kearney.
In the afternoon an address on
foreign missions was given by Mrs.
Sophia Titterington, telling of the
heroic endeavor of her father, a
missionary stationed on the Beahn
apootra, a thousand miles from the
mouth of the river, which was her
birthplace.
She was followed by Mrs. Carson,
who will soon return to Burma!).
She showed by her touching and
feeling address that her heart is
among the savage people of her
mission station even now.
In the evening, Rev. C. VV. Brin
stad, state missionary, gave on ad
dress on “Evangelism in Nebraska.”
Among «»ther good things he showed
what a New Testament church in
Nebraska means—an independent
body of Christians in any locality
who are implicitly following the
New Testament standard, with full
time services, and one which would,
if every other church in the world
were blotted out, reproduce the de
nomination.
He was followed by a rousing
evangelistic sermon by Rev. A E.
Carson.
The closing session Thursday
forenoon was.very interesting. Rev
C. J. Pope delivered his postponed
annual sermon; Judge Angier gave
an address on the teacher’s prepara
tion for Sunday school work, and
Mrs. Titterington on the relation of
junior work to the Sunday school,
followed by an open discussion of
Christian giving, from which all
present concluded that it was easier
to supply the money demands of the
church of Christ than to supply the
money demands of the lusts of the
world and the pride of life.
Tnose present, in departing for
their homes, declared this to have
been the best association they ever
attended.

Everybody
or most everybody, knows
the Round Oak
Stove. We can give you
plenty of testimonials as to
its superiority. In its new,
up-to-date dress it is the
handsomest stove on the
market, and in tight fitting,
fine workmanship and “busi
ness” it excels all others. Do
not mistake other stoves for
the genuine. Look for the
name on the leg, “ROUND
OAK. ” It is the stove you
have always heard about.
We will be pleased to explain
it fully. Respt. yours,
