Mr. Foster had provided his wife with a very pretty surprise, having in her absence finished his cottage and fur nished it throughout, so that upon her arrival she was inducted into her own pleasant little home. It was a charming surprise and thoroughly appreciated by the young wife. A sad case of dementia came before the insanity board last Friday, in the person of Peter Jonassen. the 21-year old son of Mr. Andrew Jonassen, liv ing some four miles east and north of Loup City, and the patient was taken to Norfolk the following day by Sheriff Williams, assisted by J. T. Hale, the violence of the young man making it impossible for one man to take care of him. The family of the unfor tunate young man have the deep sympathy of their many friends in their affliction. While working about the machinery of his motor car, last week Tuesday morning, Engineer Baird was badly burned by the torch he carried ignit ing the wood work of the car which was saturated with gasoline, and also came near having the car burned up. However, he managed by heroic work to put out the blaze and save the car, which he took down to St. Paul, to be sent to the repair shop, and an other car was placed on the branch in its place. Mr. Baird was so badly burned that he was compelled to lay off for a season and place himself under the doctor's care. Another disturbance occurred at Ashton last week, resulting in Theo. Sekatura lying in jail here in default of $200 bail, while he and Stanley Swiantkowski, who was fortunate enough to secure bail to said amount, are held to the district court for an alleged holdup of two other young men of Ashton, Joe Sowakinis and Joe Ackerman, one day in the early part of last week. The hearing was before Justice Smith at Ashton last Thursday, resulting in the accused being bound over as stated, and Sekatura brought to Loup City where he will remain till he secures the re quired bail. Among the new and old readers of the Northwestern, who have remem bered us financially for the new year, within the past few days are the fol lowing.

Eisner is putting in his sup of ice from the Tom Inks pond. The sun is shining today, the first tim Old Sol has show his face for sev eral days. Frank Foster last week shied us the silver dollar that entitles him to become one of the elect readers of the Northwestern. Mrs. Livingstone, the evangelist, and Miss May Higdon, the singer, were entertained at dinner last Sat urday at the home of the editor. In the Ravenna Creamery item last week, we failed to advance the price to 27 cents for butter fats. The error was solely that of the printer, as the company was paying the sum as noted above. J. B. Flint, the harness man, ar rived from Des Moines last week and we understand may open a harness shop here in the near future. As he is a first-class workman, the new busi ness enterprise will be welcomed by the users of horse clothes. Dr. Ray of St. Paul occupied the Presbyterian church here last Sun day, morning and evening, in exchange with Rev. McEwen. who is helping in the meetings at St. Paul. Dr. Ray preached two able sermons, and is the peer of any pulpit orator in this part of Nebraska. Mr. J. Froelilich and daughter. Miss Hattie Froelilich. left Monday morn ing for the east. Mr. Froelilich to visit a few days with a daughter in Lincoln, while Miss Froelilich goes on to Kansas City, where she ■will lie employed in a millinery house till March, when she will return with a spring stock of millinery goods and open up an establishment here. While I)r. S. A. Allen was carrying a hod of coal to his oliice. Monday morning, and was a few feet from the bin with the coal, his feet flew from under him and he struck upon his right shoulder in such a manner as to break one of the bones. Dr. Long dressed the injured member and the popular dentist is now and will lie for a number of days on the in valid list. However, his good mother arrived home that evening from her visit to Iowa, which proved a good thing, as he has the best of nursing during his disability. Mrs. Hattie Livingstone the evangel ist, assisted by her singer. Miss May Rigdon, commenced their protracted meetings at the M. E. church last Sunday morning, and will continue them for at least three weeks. Mrs. Livingstone is a powerful preacher and her whole heart and soul is wrapped up in this her life work. A great deal of interest was manifest even in the first days' work, and the interest continues to increase nightly. It will pay you to attend these meet ings, and if you are interested in the soul saving problem, you should give the influence of your presence and in terest in these meetings. My friend, help the editor in his wild-eyed search for news. When your friends come to see you if you are not ashamed of it tell him: when your wife gives a tea party if you have recovered from the effects of the gossip: drop in with the news when a baby arrives fill your pockets with cigars and call; if you go to a party steal some of the good things and leave ‘em with the item in our sanctum. If your wife licks you come in and let us see your scars and tender sympathy through the paper: if your mother-in-law has died don't be bash ful about it; give in all the common place news. In short, whatever makes you feel proud, sad, lonesome or glad, submit it to our twenty-four karat wisdom and see our matted locks part and stand on end with gratitude, which will pour from every pore like moisture from the dew-besprinkled earth.—Stolen from the paper that stole it from some other paper. Evangelist Billy Sunday opened his engagement of three weeks at $1,000 in the city of Worthington, Minn., by saying; “I am here to tight till hell freezes over, then I will buy a pair of skates and fight it out on the ice.” Some of the good old fathers and mothers in Israel protested against the coarsenessof his speech, and when he heard of their dissatisfaction, this was his answer: “Just let them line up in front; of me, the black-hearted liars, and say it to my face, and I'll give the dentist a job; you bet I am the man that can do it.” It is strange that religious, or Christian people at least, will countenance the work of an evangelist, so-called, who uses the language of a blackguard and has all the mannerisms of a Bowery tough. Our homely old pastor may be a little slower than Mr. Sunday in stirring the emotions of the emotional, but he never says things that leaves a bad taste in the mouth and his influence tells for righteousness all the time. Stand up for pulpit decency. It is better than sensationalism sold in the name of Christianity.—Bixby. A new order direct from the post otiice department regarding the rental of postottice boxes went into effect Jan. 1st, as follows: “Box rents must be collected at the beginning of each quarter for the en tire quarter, but no longer. Ten days before the last day of each quarter postmasters are required to place a bill (on Form 1538 or 1538*4) bearing the date of the lastday of the quarter in each rented box. If a box holder fails to renew his right to his box on or before the last day of a quarter the box shall then be closed and offered or rent and the mail will be placed in the general delivery.” On last Eriday, Jan. 11th, 1907, at his home in Rockville township, this county, occurred the death of Mr. Lawrence Peters, aged 54 years and a few months. Mr. Peters had been ill some weeks with what is termed a pulmonary abscess, which proved fa tal. Ilis funeral occurred Saturday from St. Francis church in Ashton, and the remains were laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery at that place. He leaves a wife and thirteen chil dren to mourn their loss. Mr. Peters was an old resident of Sherman coun ty and was universally esteemed by all. Under the new revenue law, he was elected county assessor, the du ties of which office he was faithfully and most acceptaby performing. He was a conscientious, upright citizen, and in his death the entire county will feel a public loss and extend sym pathy to the deeply bereaved family. A certain party or parties, the animus of whom it would not be hard to determine, nor the identity of said party or parties difficult to disclose, are giving to the Northwestern the credit of the Times article of two weeks since, in relation to the Ben sclioter-Albers case. In fact, how ever, the editor of this paper neither wrote nor inspired said article, nor knew such article was in existence or to be published until its appearance in the Times. The Northwestern is so constituted that it believes the courts the place to settle controversies of such nature and does not care to try them to newspapers nor comment on same until the courts have sat in judgment. The parties to said case are both readers and patrons of the Northwestern and when some con temptible, underhand, sneaking, feist like individual informs you to the contrary, in an endeavor to unfairly influence you against the writer, put him in the catalog of liars and poltroons, where lie belongs. Loup City School Notes. Friday afternoon the Physics class of L.C. H. S. had as a surprise to Miss House, a practical experiment in cele bration of the last lesson in Physics.
