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,ttȤ 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. •

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

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.
