One against the filthy habit, of spitting on the sidewalks, and the other against throwing waste paper on the streets. Will the village trustees take action along these lines and speedily? Northwestern readers will be in terested in the fact that Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Price, representing the great Singer Sewing Machine Company, have established an office here and will be a permanent fixture of the business of Loup City. They handle all the grades of the Singer, together with repairs, oils and fixtures and would like to interest all the people i of Sherman county in what is univer sally considered the standard sewing machine of the worid. Readers of the Northwestern who are in need of this most necessary adjunct of the home, or who have second hand sew ing machines they would like to ex change for a Singer should lose no opportunity tosee Mr. Price in regard to the same. It would be useless for us to praise the good qualities of this great family'necessity to the average housewife, as she knows better than we what the Singer is. Call and see the work done by the Singer as shown at the office, next door to Pilger’s opera house. The Girl From Chili. Among the strong attractions booked at Pilger’s opera house is that of “The Girl From Chili.” This bril liant comedy was first presented at the Madison Square Theatre, New York, where it enjoyed a phenominal run. That was three seasons ago but it has been on the stage ever since and lias never failed to make good. As Juanita Dawkins, “The Girl From Chili,” Miss Emily Le Febvre is said to have achieved her greatest char acterization of comedy. She is sup ported by a well-balanced company and the attraction comes to us very highly recommended. The play will be presented here only one night, Tuesday, April 23rd. Loup City School Notes Miss Nellie Janulewicz and Arthur Brown were high school visitors Mon day morning. Frances Sweetland has been absent from school on account of those “measly” measles. Miss House was not able to be at school Monday and Tuesday on account of sickness. Meroe Outhouse taught in her place. Arthur Brown was a high school visitor Tuesday afternoon. Christian Sorensen has re-entered school after an absence of two weeks. Miss Nellie Janulewicz was a visitor in Miss Crews’ room Monday. W. R. Jackson’s Missouri Home We have received a letter from W. R. Jackson, at Birdsong, Mo., who wishes his paper fdrwarded to that address. Mr. Jackson says: “I have purchased 120 acres of land here, with good orchard. I have finest of water from a well 70 feet in depth, and have also three good springs on the farm. We have in profusion, walnuts, hazel nuts. hickory nuts, blackberries, rasp berries, strawberries, peaches, apples, cherries and plums. The weather is warm and the children can go bare footed. Some corn planted. Stock is on pasture and timothy and clover looks fine. I think I shall like it here very well. I have lots of work before me as the farm is all timber but 35 acres of farm land, 15 acres of fall wheat and 10 acres of timothy and clover. One good thing 1 remark and that is that all produce brings cash at the stores—potatoes, eggs, butter. In fact everything, even to a pumpkin” For a Drayman Send a messenger for J. "WV Conger He will pay the fee Dora Truelsen entertained her class schoolmates Tuesday evening. Jas. Johansen has been confined at home since Saturday with a bad attack of lumbago. Chas. C. Perry, the piano tuner of Grand Island is in town for a few days. Will be in Loup City again in two weeks for balance of piano tuning. Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Nightingale entertained the ministers of the city at a 6 o’clock dinner, Tuesday even ing, in honor of Bishop Graves of the Episcopal church, who was here con ducting services of that society. Mrs. J. A. Gilbert, accompanied by Dr. Main, went to Lincoln on Monday to have her eyes treated, Dr. Main returning home Tuesday. All who know the kindly old lady, will trust she may be helped from her blind condition into the sunshine of light. Rev. McEwen returned from Lex ington last Thursday evening, where he had been in attendance upon the spring meeting of Kearney Presbytery to which the church here belongs. Presbytery accepted the invitation of the Loup City church to hold its next stated meeting here. The time set is Sept. loth. It also honored the Loup City church and its pastor by electing Rev. McEwen its moderator. This is a deserved recognition of the work accomplished here the past year by both church and pastor. The Northwestern added a half dozen new readers to its list last week. And the best of it was they came unsolicited. The Northwestern adds new readers each week, who come unsolicited, and our list is main taining a steady growth, and has done so from the time we purchased the paper, until at the present time we feel satisfied we have a list of readers equal to if not larger than that of any other paper in Sherman county. Our list is not “padded’- to the ex tent of one name, and we feel proud of the record made. We gladly wel come all who wish the Northwestern to visit their homes, and can assure all that we publish a clean, newsy paper, and one that in its every method is for the upbuilding of Loup City and Sherman county, and not is sued to vent spleen on any person or number of persons, nor the tearing down of any interest whatsoever that is for the good of the people. The people of Loup City are especially interested in school matters of late, and the school board seems to be laboring under the head of un finished business. Prof. Dale refuses 1 to contract for the salary offered; Albion was first in hiring Miss Clark, and Miss Crews has a better prospect near home. Patrons of the school, thinking perhaps Miss House might accept the position of superintendent if assured of the unanimous support of the board, requested that another effort be made to secure her services. Complying with said request the board met informally Friday evening and while unanimously in favor of Miss House as principal, and as we under stand almost so as superintendent, some thought it a difficult position for a lady. The board instructed the director to communicate with the officials in charge of the educational institutions of the state, asking them to assist in securing teachers to fill vacancies. The next morning Miss House received a telegram requesting her acceptance of a position in the Pender schools and bv telephone was requested to accept a similar position in the Bancroft schools. We are not from Missouri, but since Miss House has demonstrated her ability as prin cipal, we feel satisfied she would have done so as superintendent, and that her election would have met with the approbation of the patrons and pupils of the schools.
