Baby Burned to Death. Word was received in this city last Friday morning that a little baby girl belonging to Mrs. James Gray, eight miles south of town, had been burned to death. Dr. Main was summoned to the scene and found the horrible news too true. It seems that the little 2-year-old daughter of Mrs. James Gray, and a little brother were playing in the barn and in some way secured matches, with which they set the hay on tire, and before the baby girl could be succored her clothes were a mass of flames and her body was burned to a crisp. The little ; brother escaped and gave the alarm but too late to save the little one, who also ran from the burning barn. ; as the flames had gotten too firm a hold upon her clothing and the wind helped hasten the horrible death. : The barn and contents were wholly destroyed. This is the second terrible accident of the kind within a few miles of Loup City within the past few months, and in both cases matches within reach of children has led to the fatal result. Parents cannot be too careful in this regard. Loup City School Notes. Election day the high school had a formal election. The class room was fitted up with five polling booths and the high school room was used for ‘ general electioneering grounds. Some of our amateur politicians showed tliemselvss adepts at electioneering— those flattering words, bribes in the form of apples, proved the possessed the soul of an artist in the matter. Christian Sorensen, Maggie Minsliull and Clayton Mead were chosen judges while Emma Outhouse and Clifford Rein were the clerks.

Wouldn’t there be a roar when they went home to their meals if they had to climb upon a high stool in front of a table on which there was no cloth and eat their meals in that fashion. Yet a majority of men when they pick out the res taurant to eat, will pick out the high stool and feed board with no cloth on it in preference to a comfortable chair and a cloth covering. A man will borrow a chew of tokacco and most of them will set their teeth into the plug right where some other man gnawed out a chew. Offer him a piece of pie at home from which his wife or some of the children has taken a bite and he would holler his head off. At home he would not drink out of a glass or cup from which some member of the family had been drinking. Call him to the back stall of a barn and he will stick the bottle half way down his throat to get a swig after a half dozen men iiave had the neck of the bottle down their mouths. A man is a queer duck.—York Times. Attention! The old coffee coolers of Shiloh Post are called to their camp, Nov. 24th. Election of officers. Walter Moon, Comdr. Thanksgiving Services. At a conference of the differentcity pastors held Monday afternoon it was decided to hold a union Thanksgiving service on Thanksgiving evening, the meeting to be at the> M. E. church, Rev. H. S. Wold to preach the sermon and the M. E. choir to furnish the music for the occasion. This service should command the attention of the public, for as a community we do not need to look far to find ample reason for thanksgiving to the Almighty Father of us all. Wedding Bells. Last Saturday the Northwestern received through the mails the an nouncement of the marriage of Mr. Raymond S. McFadden to Anna I. Youngland. both of Webster town ship, which was solemnized on the "tli of November at Cheyenne, Wyo. Following the announcement came the words, “At home after December 15th at Loup City, Nebr.” The many friends of this estimable young couple in Sherman county will gladly con gratulate them over the auspicious event and offer them heartfelt good wishes for life’s happiness. Installation ot Pastor. The installation of Rev. L. C. Mc Evven at the Presbyterian church on Thursday evening was the occasion of an interesting and impressive service. The meeting was presided over by Rev. Geo. Longstaff of Farwell, who de livered an interesting sermon. This was followed by the propounding of the constitutional questions of the church to pastor and people, after which the prayer of installation was offered by Rev. I)r. Ray of St. Paul. Rev. Johnson of Kearney followed outlining the various duties of the pastor and congratulating him upon the success of his efforts. The last address of the evening was delivered by Dr. Ray, whose ability as a speaker is well known to Loup City church goers. In delivering the charge to the people, he, too,referred to the good work accomplished by the young organization and in a bright and at tractive way spoke of the duties de volving upon the people to the newly installed pastor. The music for the occasion consisted of an anthem rendered by the choir in their usual manner, and the solo. “One Sweetly Solemn Thought," by Mr. B. P. Mc Kinnie, who was at" his best and re ceived many compliments from the visiting clergymen as well as the appreciative audience. Dedicatory Services. Last Sunday occurred the dedicatory services of the re-built Methodist church of this city. The day was ex ceedingly line, with the exception of slightly cold weather accompanied by flurries of snow, the first of the season, but not enough to keep people at home, and in consequence the fine church, now capable of seating 500 persons, was filled both morning and evening and the exercises were most excellent and of such a nature as is calculated to till with pride attendants of religious worship, especially of the congregation of this fine edifice. The church as it now stands, is a pride in architecture to the city. It has its own heating and lighting plant and is independent in all that concerns those points The hnilding has a commodious basement for the social functions of the church, which is one of the prides of the congregation. All in all. our Methodist friends have a perfect right, and undoubtedly do feel happy over the enterprise. As we said, both services received a crowded house, and everything went off in the most satisfactory manner, in the morning the presiding elder. Rev. L. H. Shumate delivered the dedicatory sermon, and he proved to be & most entertaining speaker, and though his sermon was over one hour in length, held the profoundest at tention of the vast audience. His mannerisms are strictly original and as a platform speaker wrould undoubt edly prove a most eminent success. The minor portion of the program— from the prayer and scriptural read ings to the most excellent work of the big choir of possibly thirty or forty voices, added materially to the interest. In connection with the morning service, we would not omit mention of reminiscences of an early pastorate in Loup City, given by Mrs. Louisa Collins of Kearney, president of home misssons for this county, whose husband, the lamented Rev. Asbury Collins, was one of the pioneer ministers of this state, and was pastor at Loup City in its infancy. It was one of the most interesting parts of the service. in tne evening tne audience was larger, if possible, than in the morn ing, the sister churches also giving way in the evening, as in the morn ing, their preaching services, and from the further fact that our chief executive, Gov. John H. Mickey, was to deliver the principal address' Gov. Mickey delivered a most interesting address, taking for his subject, “Character,” and held the closest at tention of the vast body from start to finish, and warm were the encomiums heard over its excellence. Space will not admit of extended comment upon the governor's address, and few words would prove inadequate to do justice to the splendid points brought out in the thirty to forty minutes of heart to heart talk with the sea of faces before him. Suffice it to say, the chief executive of the best state in this best country on the face of the earth was at his best, and the admo nitions, warnings and pleadings to the young men of today to build characters for honesty, integrity and uprightness, which are the foun dations of a good standard of man hood, found an echo in every heart present. At the close of his address, the presiding elder undertook to clear off the indebtedness unprovided for, some $1,750, which the people of Loup City and surrounding country helped him to do in an exceedingly short time, in their usually generous nature and dominant good will, and every body went heme feeling that a day was spent in a most profitable manner. There are business men who say that they pay newspapers for every bit of help they obtain from them. This means that they pay for the advertising they contract for at a given price per inch. Every issue of every newspaper contains columns of matter designed to help the town pro mote enterprise and bring in business to every line of trade. The news paper is the advocate of its locality, the voice of trade and commerce and progress and it speaks to “the many men of many minds.” It would be extremely difficult for the average business man to estimate the amount of influence, even outside of its ad vertising columns, that the newspaper exercises on his behalf.—Eremont Tribune.
