By order of the Republican Central Com mittee. R P. Stakk, , W. R. Mellor. Secretary. Chairman. LOUP CITY August 23, 24, 25, Carnival affairs are progressing at a rapid aud favorable rate. The com mittee is already deluged with letters from parties wishing concessions, all the w’ay from flyiDg machines to first class divorce suits, and it is only a question of selection the committee has to deal with as there seems no end of attractions wanting to come here There is nothing of a definite character to preseut our readers, but keep tab on the newspapers, posters, programs, etc., and you will find the coming Loup City Carnival will be the biggest thing ever held or to be held here. With dynamite bombs being hurled promiscuously about in the old countrv, wouldn’t you much rather be a plain American citizen nowadays? Official investigation of the big New York insurance companies is now the order of the day. The great Eqirable insurance scandal may unearth a host of others. Daniel S. Lainont, who was Cleve land's Secretary of War, died last Sun day evening at his home near Pough keepsie, N. Y. He was one of the most prominent members of the demo cratic household. The state board of equalization has ordered an increase of ten per cent on the assesment of cattle in Sherman countv. An increase of from 5 to 40 per cent is made mi about three-fourths of the counties of the state. Poor old Russia. Latest reports from that devil-ridden country are to the effect that bomb throwing continues «t frequent intervals, only the other day a number of different instances were reported, with consequent death of several of the czar’s confidential advis ers - At a secret meeting of Nihilists and dynamitic scoundrels generally in Paris a few days since, it is said extensive arrangements wTere made to blow up the various crowned heads of Europe. If they succeed or not, undoubtedly “uneasy rests the head that wears the crown.” It keeps the potentates of Europe busy these days dodging dynamite bombs. Russia seems to have the most expert bomb throwers. Other coun tries, however, are having a sortie of the kind One thrown at the Sultan of Turkey a few duys since, missed th * devoted.' sad of the ruler but did a sure job on af .mt iliirty of his followers. f • BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES Life of Grandma Moon. I could nevej settle it in my mind why Ohio was singled out among states to be the birthplace of so many who might be termed “the salt of the earth.’’ 1 have space but to chronicle tjie fact in passing, if you hail from Ohio, you may be able to explaiu the phenomenon. And by the way, the Almighty must have meant the Smith family to b* among the elect, for he made so many of them. This member of the world wide family, Mary b. Smith, was born near New irk, Ohm, April 18th, 18.'0 Liter her parents removed to Marion county, and the period of her youth was passed on a larm 18 miles from Sandusky. She has a vivid remembrance of the quilting bees, apple cuttirgs, spelling and singing schools, sleigh and horse back rides, that helped to make the round of country pleasures sixty ye <r* ago. Weaving, spinning, making butter and cheese were among the daily occupations. becoming ambitious to earn some money for herself, she taught the neighborhood school, drawing a sal try of S6 per month, th** maximum pri**e paid nt th.it time In 1841 she was married to Gideon Moon, who afterward' became an ordained minister of the Freebaptisr church, and was pastor of the Union church in big Allen Township, Marion countv, Ohio, for 30 years: sometimes composing his sermons a.% he followed the plow down the long furrows or while engaged in the various avocations of farm work Nine children were horn iu this home and Mother Moon’s strong face lights up as she descrilies the positions of honor and trust her sons have filled since becoming citizens of the world. Home keeping beans aie happiest, and she lives but in her children Mother Moon has been a wide reader, and has a good singing voice even now She does finished needlework and exquisite darning and 1 fancy she in clines to the motto ot the German Empress, that the “kinder, kirehe and kueche" are enough to absorb the time and strength of the average woman. However that may lie. I could but l*e impressed with my aged friend’s out look cm the world and things of the world. Often with pessimistic inflection, we inquire, “This life, what is it all when all is done?"’ And answer it ourselves with “grains of sombre or shining sand, gliding into or out of the hand.” Hat the subject of this little sketch would consider it a gross physical sin to allow her interest and physical tone to so fail as to tamely admit “that life was not worth the living.” I presume it must be her abiding faith in the ultimate hope, her belief that she is a part of the “Great Plan,” which lifts her above the weakness, and accounts in part for her longevity. Yet her health has always been good, above the ayerage anyway. She has lived actively, takes an interest in what makes for the world's better ment. Its all a point of view, you know. To grow old gracefully is habit, not art. She has made her home for the last five years wi h her daughter, Mrs. S. S. Hover, and enjoyed her stay with the good people of Loup City very happily. Eighty five years young. A good enough record. She will be sadly missed among the coterie of aged mothers who gather at the tea parties in the village, when she goes with her children to the Southland, but in their thought they will always hail her‘‘friend.’’ Some lines from a stray poem keep forcing themselves to mind, and I quote them ks a finale to what has gone before: The old- time places, faces, books, Are an enchanted crowd' They stand apart with loving looks. With fairy grace endowed. The memories of bygone years We scarce can bear to tell, Or think of them without swift tears— We loved them all so well. Clear Creek Chat The weather is dry and hot. Harvest is here. Corn is smill but will make cio;» with favorable weather. . Mrs. M. Butler has bought the Herbaugh land. John Wibber lost a valuable hoise last week by getting cut in the wire. Harry Teeter, of Marion Junction, S. 1)., is here visiting fri< nds and rela tives. He is proprieter ot a barber shop at Marion Junction. Harry Shipleys’ crop w'as bully damaged by hail, last week.
