UEtiSBACsEN. Secretary. Acting Chairman. The call for our county republican convention will be found at the bead of the editorial page this week. Sher man county is early in the Held this year, not waiting for others to lead. Sherman republicans have well defined ideas of what they want and will make a fast pace for their favorite in the gubernatorial race. The Northwestern has inter viewed a large number of the leading republicans of Sherman county, ana they are in unanimous accord for our former townsman. Hon. John Wall, for governor, and without the least doubt will give ringing, enthusiastic instructions to their delegation to the state convention in his interest. Mr. Wall needs no introduction atour hands. His life, his principles, ids honesty of purpose, and his successful buginewj career mark hini as a safe man to place in the office of chief ex ecutive of the great state of Nebras ka, and the people of Sherman county knowing him as they do, and feeling that he more than any other will conduct the duties devolving upon him in that place of sacred trust to their satisfaction, will do their ut most to see that the convention gives him the right-of-way to lead the re publican ho6ts to victory this fall. Rockville Graduation. The evening of Friday, June 1, wit nessed the second fifch grade com mencement pf the Rockville schools. Under direction of Miss Bessie Coul ter and Mrs. T, R, Lay,tt»§ Vofloman hall had been tastefully depurated, tlie stage iieing prettily draped with laces and an improvised proscenium arch bore the class motto, “Rowing, not Drifting.’’ In front of the stage and immediately below the center of tlie arch was a large bank of roses and carnations, tlie latter the class flower within which a tiny fountain played, lending it's liquid music to the en chantment of the scene. AH Rock ville and vicinity were in attendance to listen to the closing efforts of the class of bright-eyed girls who were Heatly attired in white and were, of pourse.“tlje center gf interest. Each Hindered her hart an Client manner, the class history and prophecy being excellent ax&mp!e§ Oi humor and Heartily enjoyed py the audience, Excellent vooal music was rendered by Mrs, Petersen of Rock* ville and Miss Shandy of Boelus, as sisted by Messrs. Shannefelt and Da vis of RockviUe. Miss Gladys O’Bry an of Loup City presided at the piano and rendered several numbers in most excellent style. Her performane was highly creditable to herself and a treat to lovers of music. The diplomas were presented by Rev. Mr. Powers of Ravenna, who made a few very appropriate remarks. Five of the Rockville pupils receive 8th grade di plomas. viz: Misses Mary Butts, Ru anuab Kranscomb, Andrea Petersen, Annie Larsen'ihd JuntllS Hardsell. The work done in the Rockville schools tlie past year by Miss "Bessie (Ipmter and Mrs. Anna Lapcaonqt be commended toq highly, The scliools were under the best Qf discipline and the character of the teaching equal to that of any of the scliools in the county. Neither of these ladies will teach next year, but tlie school will, we understand, be in tlie excellent hands of Miss Marie Coulter and Miss Ida Buss. Roekvile is and may well be proud of her school and we hope for a long continuation of such excel lent teachers as have been employed for tlie past three years. • Rockville Items.

He went on to Minneapolis where the body was to meet him and will accompany the remains to Loup City, where they will be placed at rest in our cemetery. On the arrival of the body, appropriate ceremonies will be had, notice of which will be later. The Nobthwestebn sympathizes with the relatives in their deep affliction in the loss of a loved father, a fellow feeling mak ing humanity wondrous kina, and having lost a dearly loved father, and the passing years failing to lessen our sorrow, the writer can mourn with the boys as one who has suffered a like trouble, and our tears mingle with their’s in these sad. sad days.

Joe and Mary Reiman and Mrs. S. Thrasher went to Omaha and brought the body of their broth er to Ashton, where it was buried in the Catholic cemetery the follow ing Monday. Deceased came to his death by an accident on the bridge between Omaha and Council Bluffs, while riding on the steps of a crowded car. a pole striking him on the head, knocking him under the wheels, bad ly mangling the body and causing death a short time after being taken to the hospital. Deceased left a wife and three children, besides parents, brother and two sisters here. He formerly lived in this county, and his wife was a daughter of Neils Hansen, living six miles south of Boelus. For some reason his family were not notified of his death, and it was only when he did not return home and search was made for him that the body was found at the undertaker's ready for burial as unknown. The dead man's fatlier thinks some mystery is connected with the death, as leaves were torn from a dairy in his pocket arid no money was found on the l)ody, although he had several dollars in his possession when he left home to go to the Bluffs to transact business. It is said an investigation will lie had in the matter. Valley District. Mr. Berry of fowa^hi visiting his daughter, Mrs. H. Reed and familv.' Steplien Smalley and G. H.
