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.

Men are queer. 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.

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
