The merchants of Loup City have
made arrangements witli Ashley Con
ger to haul farmers and their fami

Farmers can thus leave their teams

free of charge to do their trading and
returned to the bridge ^nv hour they
desire. This is a thoughtful idea on
the part of our merchants and no
doubt will be appreciated by the
farmers.

and E. G. Taylor are in Omaha this
week in attendance upon a foreign

countries will participate in the pro
gram. Rev. McEwen is chairman of
the committee in this (Kearney) Pres

Last week, a .young man from the
west end of the county was arrested
and brought to this city on complaint
of obtaining money under false pre
tenses, but when the trial day came,
on Monday of this week, the com
plaintant. by his attorney, withdrew
the complaint. The friends of the
voung man feel very indignantaand
hurt over the affair, as the facts go
to show that the arrest was unjust
and uncalled for and places the young
man in an unenviable position and
hurtful to his reputation. We avoid
naming the parties involved in the
| case, only mentioning the matter in
justification of the boy among those
who have heard of the' arrest and not
the outcome.

country. Vednesday the institute
was taken from the court house room
to Society hall, on account of the for
mer being wanted for a trial case. It
has been impossible for the North
western man to attend these lectures
by reason of a rush of work, hence
cannot give any extended account oi
the institute. However, the columns
of the Northwestern are at the com
mand of the secretary of the institute
for a report of the proceedings fori
next week’s paper. I

Loup City School Notes.
Alice Minshull has quit school on
account of ill health.
Word has heen received that the
Loup City high school has been placed
on the University accredited list as a
three year high school. Graduates
this year will receive 20 to 24 points
credit to the University of Nebraska,
, and a great many other schools thro'
out the United States accept these
1 same credits. As students who have'
credit to the University may enter
without examination, this will lie of
freat advantage. Full credit to the
Jniversity is 28 points, and no high
school can receive more than 24
points unless it has three teachers, so
we have done as well as could be ex
pected under present conditions.
Rev. Bates visited the high school
