At St. Elmo hotel, Dec. 8, 9 and 10. Our Methodist friends formally opened the basement of their church ro the public last Saturday evening, g ving an interesting program of music, recitations, etc., followed by r ireshments. Quite a goodly number were present and an equally good social time was had by all 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.

Mr. Kee makes a regular annual pilgrim age to the Northwestern office each year to renew his allegiance to this family paper. The Northwestern does not want anybody, however humble, to come to Loup City or anybody living here to go out of town without getting their name in the paper.

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. •— --♦ • - -- Big Bargain Week.
