The services at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday were of an especial
ly interesting character. In the even

best on the subject, “The Up-to-Date
Young Man,” and dwelt very fully
upon the immorality of men of today,
especially in regard to the senseless
habits of swearing, gambling, etc.,
showing the correct individual avoids
these and tries to uplift himself into
a purer atmoshhere. The singing by
the choir, especially the anthem and
the song by the Regale Quartet, was
most highly appreciated. The solo by
Miss Jessie Culley was very pleasing
and gave evidence that Miss Culley
has a voice of much power and sweet
ness of tone. Lovers of good music

courses on religious matters can spend
a very pleasant and profitable hour at

Narrow Escape From Death.
Fred Foster narrowly escaped death
last Saturday night about 11:30 on the
U. P. tracks just south of the city.
He had gone Saturday afternoon with
ins train as far as Dannebrog, when
he let the train go on to St. Paul
while lie returned to Loup City to
spend Sunday at home, propelling a
tricycle over the route. When his
train reached St. Paul, the engine
was ordered to return and bring the
motor into Loup City, it having been
'derailed between Boelus and Rock
ville. The engine passed Fred on its
way in. he getting himself and tri
. cycle off the track to let it by and
then resuming his journey. When the
engine reached Loup City it turned
and had but reached a short distance
■ below the yards when it ran into Fred
and his tricycle, hurling them from
the track, demolishing the machine
and badly injuring Mr. Foster, break
ing one of the bones in his right
shoulder, injuring him severely on the
right side and rendering him uncon
i scious. It seems Mr. Foster was try
ing to make the switch at the lower
end of the yards ahead of the engine
misjudging the time and distance
from the switch. The engine crew
picked the wounded man up and
brought him into the city, where the
company’s surgeon examined his in
; juries and found them as stated.
| While his injuries are of a serious
character and will confine him to the
house for quite a period of time, no
fear of fatality exists. The North
western and his hosts of friends here
and elsewhere will deeply sympathize
with Mr. Foster over his unfortunate
accideut.

Loup City Not In It, Thanks.
“Twenty-nine of the largest cities
of the world are doomed. Earthquake,
flood and tire will wreak the vengeance
of God on the cities and their in
habitants within the next twenty
four months. This wholesale destruc
tion is to be God's judgmeut on four
nations.’’ The doomed cities in this
country are New York, Albany, Buff
alo, Detroit, Boston, Philadelphia,
Washington. Richmond, Pittsburg,
Columbus, Indianapolis. Cincinnati,
Louisville. Nashville, Milwaukee, St.
Louis, Chicago, St. Joseph, Mo., Lin
coln, Neb., Omaha, Des Moines,
Council Bluffs, Sioux City, St. Paul
Minneapolis and Denver. The proph
ecy is made by Edmund Scribner
Stevens, seventy-two years old, the
well known prognosticator of events
and an astrologer of no mean ability.
For more than twelve years Mr. Stev
ens has been an ardent student of the
history of the world. Since last May
he claims to have been the recipient
of telepathic messages and to have
made several true prophecies. Mr.
Stevens said:
The world is in the throes of an up
heavel which will eventually right the
earth and make the north pole north
and the south pole south, instead of
having the earth's axis on a slant.
That upheaval will cause flood, tire
and earthquake, and mostof the large
cities of the world are going to suffer:
some of them will be destroyed.'’
“Within the next two years twenty
six cities of the United States and
London. Paris and Rome will be des
troyed.”
New York City, the aged oracle
says, will be swallowed up in the gap
ing maw of an earthquake crack and
Chicago and Milwaukee will be wiped
off the map.
