There is a growing demand for two

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.

Miss Nellie Janulewicz was a visitor

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”

schoolmates Tuesday evening.

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.
