The Kensington given by the Pres
byterian ladies. last Thursday after
noon at the home of Mrs. Carsten
Truelsen, was a very pleasant and
profitable one. and the receipts com
mensurate with the occasion. Spare
the editor's blushes when he recites
of the sixty or seventy patrons of the
Kensington, he was the only one of
the male suasion wlio was brave
enough to face the great number of
the handsomest ladies of Loup City
who congregated there.
The Odd Fellows of this county had
a big blow-out at Rockville last Sat
urday evening, the occasion being the
organization of a Rebekah lodge at
that place. A delegation of t»7 went
down from Loup City on the motor to
help swell the crowd and make the
evening one of great pleasure. Large
numbers were there also from St.
Paul, Boelus. Dannebrog and other
points. A lodge of large numbers was
instituted, a fine banquet served and
the hours later were passed in the
enjoyments of the dance.
The services at the Presbyterian

I
Boyd Burrowes seems to have a
penchant for securing- players for his
company who have in the past be
longed to the “Art*Preservative of
Arts.” Himself a printer, he evident
ly likes those of the craft. One of
the latest members of his company is
Mr. R. J. Booth, a,n old-time printer
from Wisconsin, who like so many of
the manipulalors of the leaden mes
sengers of thought, has drifted from
the newspaper to the stage, and who.
like all the old boys, still has a liking
for the looks of the print shop, tho'
practically weaned from its workings.
We acknowledge a pleasant call from
Mr. Booth who will always be a wel
come visitor to our sanctum.

'Our people were agreeably surprised
by the return to Loup City last Sat
urday evening of Dr. Long for a few
days' visit. The doctor has purchased
a drug store at Garrison, a snail
station between Seward and David
City and will devote his time and
energies in directing its fortunes and
incidentally take life easy while he i;
trying to regain his health, which wt
regret to say has; not improved :is it
was hoped by h is treatment at the
sanitarium at Lincoln. While out
people sincerely regret the doctor’!
health was such that he was compelled
to dispose of his big practice Ire re
vet one and alnri&h for him the best
of success in his new field of laboi
and send greetings to the people o
Garrison and surrounding covntn
over their igood fortune in securing
as good and com petent a physician at
the State of Nebraska holds todat
and that only Ids failing health lia!
gained for them the competent
physician and surgeon Loup Cit-v hat
thereby lost. The doctor left fo;
Garrison yesterday.
Was It An Earthquake?
Yesterday afternoon between 4 and
5 o’clock. Loupr City experienced
what seemed to be a slight shock of
an earthquake. The shock seems tc
have been general over the village
and from the country rourtdabout
came phone calls to the village ask
ing if some explosion had taken place.
Dozens of our citizens, especially the
women in the homes, felt the shock
quite perceptibly, which seemed to
come from the north. Messrs. Night
ingale and Mead in the second story
of the First National bank building
came down to the Northwestern tc
see if some heavy body had fallen,
evidently thinking the lighting editoi
had been ejecting some one who had
come to pulverize the editor. But
seriously, there is little donbt but
that this section experienced the re
sult of a slight quake, as out of the
mouths of many it seems to be sc
established.
We understand there will be a game
next Saturday', on the Loup City
grounds, between the junior base
ballists of Arcadia and Loup City. It
will be remembered the Loup City
boys got skinned in the first game at
Arcadia, two weeks’ since, and at
this coming second game the Loupites
expect to thoroughly scalp the
A rcadians.
The Milkmaids’ Convention at the
opera house Tuesday evening of this
week was a pronounced success ir
point of numbers and in the excel
lence of the entertainment. There
were some 24 young lady characters
in the convention and each did the
part assigned in a most perfect
manner and greatly to the delight ol
the vast audience present. In the
acting they could give pointers tc
many of the traveling entertainments
that visit Loup City.
The students of the eleventh and
twelfth grades of our city schools
were the innocent victims of a huge
joke, one evening lately. They had
gone out on the evening in question
for a “trot,” stopping at the new
Catholic church and at the court
house grounds for partial lunches,
their rendezvous being fixed for the
old Boone gallery, where they arrived
for the final entertainment of ghost
stories and sieh. In the meantime,
practical jokers had gotten the lead
strings of their route and were at the
gallery in advance of the invasion,
had a'life-like dummy suspended o’er
head, and just as the crowd was in
the midst of a hair-raising episode ol
one of the imaginative members, the
dummy was swung down in front of
their affrighted eyes, when with a
whoop and yell that would do credit
to a band of Comanche Indians, the
crowd broke for the doors, nor stayed
their flight till the several doors of
their habitations closed with them
selves inside the portals. And even
now a good quality of glue will not
prove efficacious in smoothing down
the covering of their caputs, even
when assured “There are no such
things as ghostly visitations.”
