Gus Lorentz received a telegram last
Saturday morning announcing the sad
news of the death of his good mother
that morning, in Denver, at 0:30 o’clock.
As will be remembered, Mr. Lorentz
was called to her bedside only a few
days ago. ana came home leaving her
much improved in health, but it seems
her constitution was so undermined by
her illness caused by appendicitis, that
though she wou’d rally at times, it was
only temporary, and her death came
suddenly as announced. Owing to
badness engagements, it was impossible
for Mr. Lorentz to attend the funeral,
which was arrtngsd for the day fol
lowing her death. Mrs. Maja L.
Lorentz was 02 years of age and was
tiie mother of eight children—two
daughters i u:4 two sons with her in
Denver, two daugb ,ers and a son in
Aurora, and Mr. Gus Lorentz, our fellow
townsman. Mrs. Lorentz lost fcer hus
band bonetljr-e years ago. We iigye
no further data of information in re>
gard to Ml < dice isid. Our p‘ople will
deeply syrnt athize with Mr. Loientz in
his irreparable lorn.

We want to congratulate the mem

only the remnants of poor Tige lay

a sight to make the gods weep.
The basket social at the Baillie school
house last Friday evening is reported
to The Northwestern as a very suc
cessful affair. Quite a goodly number

well, the receipts being some £21, and
as many more could bavebeen disposed
of, while the excellent music by the

While The Northwestern’s local
man was doing the hot-foot act after
news, last Saturday noon, he spied what
to him looked like a young couple upon
wild-eyed matrimony intent, but what
was his agony to later find it was only
the delightful tete-a-tete along lover's
lane of a pronfinent young disciple of
Bluckstone and a beautiful and accom
plished wielder of tbe birch over
refractory youths. Never will the
pusher of the quill again see so promis
ing an item of Cupid.s work meet so
unsatisfactory a fulfillment.
Last week we received a character
istic letter from our good fi iend, W. H.
Kennedy, who is now at Marengo, Ohio,
It is too good to keep, and running the
risk of his shooting us cn sight, we
append a portion of his letter as lol
lows: “Dear Bro. Burleigh; I take
this opportunity to remit the necessary
guilders to insure the weekly visitations
of the glorijus. old Northwestern
for another year. I can’t keep house
without it, and of all the papers that
reach this bachelor domicile, I prize it
most highly. The extra 2oc does not
determine the size of my purse very
much, for I sold a half bushel of
"taters” and a peck of “inyens’’ yester
day, hence this speedy remittance. To
morrow will be New Year’s, and may
it prove the most pleasant vear of vour
life. I well remember when I first
met you »t the St Elmo, and those
early impressions remain unchanged.
I am well and contented, but should
dearly love to grasp the hands of those
make old Loup City boys. I hope to
good you a visit some time next fall,
kindest regards to your family and all
inquiring friend ” The worst tiling
we know about W. H. is that he is still
a bachelor—but whil/e theies life,
theie’s taoje. j

In a letter to Dr. Long from Mrs.
Fickes, dated Los Angeles, Jan. 2, she
reports Mr. Fickes as doing fairly well,
having gained in weight and streneth.
The weather has been extremely cold
in California during the winter so far,
much damage being done bv the frost,
something that has never been known
to occur in the history ot the state. It
is Mr. Fickes’ intention to move to
North Dakota in the early spring, as he
prefers living in a state where the
extremes of heat and cold are not so
mirked as in California.

A Northwestern representative
overheard the following conversation
on the streets last Saturday afternoon
between two members ot a certain
township school board: “Ten dollars
for a dickshenery. eh? Shoat for one
bookl Py Got! Tnat would py books
for all of them. Tbit skule teecber
ought to have all the words in her hed,
py Got; that’s whit she’s there for—
to know that stuff. They ain't used
to them kind of books, ennyhow, py
Got.” This is substantially the words
used, and tells in too glowing phrase
ology the “stuff” too manv school
directors are made of. Speed the day
alien none but educated men may be
placed in such position of trust.
