you know._
On another page m this week's
Northwestern will be fuuud an ex
tended report of the republican state
convention. It will pay every eader
to peruse it carefully.
We understand a petition is in cir
culation looking toward the putting up
of an independent candidate for one of
the principal county offices. Wouldn't
anv one signing such petition appear
well in future, were he to aspire for
office on any straight party ticket?
The populist state convention- is
understood to be held at Lincoln this
week. Bro. Brown left Tuesday to
attend it. if such convention be held,
though no one seems to know of any
such party convention. If the dying
reformers( ?) do meet, in the name of
high jehovah. what is there for them to
reform?
The Republican party in Sherman
county has been especi illy fortunate
this fall in its selection ot candidates
for the various offices within the gift of
the people. Not one named can be said
to belong to any cliune or faction, or
any favorite thereof In a most pleas
ing manner is this true of our candidate
for county treasurer, Carsten Truelsen
His nomination came by generous re
sponse from all over the county and
was well received by the convention
which made it unanimous Mr. Truel
sen is well equipped both in education
and natural ability for this most stren
uous office and if elected. «s lie surely
will be and by a handsome majority, the
people will have no regrets over Ins se
lection. rarsten Truelsen is a native of
Nebraska, having been born in Wash
ington county on the 11th of April. 1869
lie came to Sherman county with his
parents in 1874, when but a boy of five
years, making him a resident of this
county over thirty years, llis nomina
tion is a compliment to the sturdy Ger
man citizenship of Sherman county.
Tlie Republicans of Nebraska in state
convention assembled last week, took
advanced steps on several of the burn
ing questions of the day. In a con
vention, one of the most dramatic and
exciting ever held in the state, thev put
themselves on record as against the
pass evil, in favor of the direct primary
and for strict railroad rate legislation
Our populist friends have alread'
whistled long, loud and deep that the
republicans have stolen their thunder
and that the steps taken are only so
much mouthings and that in fact
nothing looking toward the accomplish
ment of the steps taken by the conven
tion will be accomplished. In saying
this the ropulists are judging by their
own talk along these lines, which has
amounted to not one step being taken
in this regard, beyond resolving in
conventions, etc Hut the republicans
of Nebraska aie made in a different
mould. Thev resolve and they execute.
The first steps have now been taken,
and they will live up to and carry into
effect their promises. The next legis
lature, the republican contingent, at
least, will carry forward the work
pi nned by the late convention and
laws will be enacted and enforced along
the lines stated. Since the convention.
Gov. Mickey, State Superintendent
WcBrien and Attorney General Brown
have surrendered tin ir railroad tr -ns
portation and stated unequivocally that
the will of the convention is law unto
thenuelves Undoubtedly tlw otho
state officers will follow suit, and those
who do not will be dealt with accord
ingly hv the p .rly which has placed its
stamp of disapproval on the pass evil, |
and the acceptance of those question- j
a’de favors from the railroads. The j
republican par y, unlike the populist
rebwmerd(V), means what it says

Banquet to T. S. Nightingale
A bsunjuet and farewell was given
ast Saturday night ;.t the St. Kim >

estimable family and the choicest ex

iml gu* sts assembled, over their re
noval to a distant chine. Mr. Night
ingale nnd family left Mond ty morning
for their future home in sunny Cali
fornia, accompanied by the best wishes
of their legion of friends in Loup City
and Sherman county. Mr Nightingale
has l>een a resident of Sherman countv
for the past twenty-eight years, and his
only reason for removal is in the hope
that his health, which has been failing
for a number of years, may be benefited
thereby The Northwestern, with
the entire population of Sherman coun
ty, will wish Mr. Nightingale and his
estimable family a happv. profitable
and pleasant home on the Pacific coast,
and the complete restoration to health
of Mr. Nightingale.
A Fortunate Accident.
Olias. DeMaranville of Aurora is
visiting his daughters, Mrs. Grace
McLaughlin and Mrs. Jessie Squires,
west of town. His lather, who is near
ly 80 years old, accompanied him. The
old gentleman met with a fortunate
accident last Saturday. While out
hunting with his son and in passing
over a catstep, the single tree snapped
in two, causing the horse to jump,
throwing the old gentleman from the
buggy and between the wheels, one of
which ran over his lace just above the
eyes, but outside of a few bruises on
the head did no perceptible harm. It
was a most fortunate accident, especial
ly when one considers his advanced age
lnsaue and Taken to Norfolk.
On the 8th instant, Sheriff Williams
was called to tie; south part of the
county, some four miles below- Rock
ville, to take charge of a young man
named Ernest Selimalljohn.who had be
come violently insane. Accompanied
by Wes McCombs, the sheriff went
down and secured the patient, not.
however, without some difficulty, took
him before the board ot insanity, and
the following day took him to Norfolk
Schmalljofrn bad caused his mother and
sisters to ilee from home a few days
previous and the neighborhood was
thoroughly alarmed. He was some 27
years of age.
