Mrs. Frank Foster returned last
Friday evening from her protracted

Frank met her at Grand Island. 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

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.

Mr. J. Froelilich and daughter. Miss

employed in a millinery house till
March, when she will return with a
spring stock of millinery goods and

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.
