Custer takes the fcake on the amount of court work of any county in this judicial district. We understand the diminutive yel low is mentioning names of probable candidates suitable to “it.” Such men tion should not necessarily militate against them, as they probably are not responsible lor publicity from such a source. It is given out as coming directly from the lips of William J. Bryan that he will not be a candidate for president if Roosevelt becomes again candidate for chief executive. As that is W. Jennings’ only “if”, he will be a candidate, all right, all right. If <there is anything these days that causes that tired feeling, it is the gusliy-gushy chin music kept up by a few of the newspaper hero worship ers of Gov. Sheldon, who see in him for the future anything from U. S. senator to fill Burkett's shoes on up to those Roosevelt so well fills. Bosh! The Northwestern appreciates liav ing its exchanges republish any of its news items, but when any of them do so, as did the Ravenna News last week in regard to the fire which des troyed Boyd Burrowes’ show, we would suggest they give the North western due credit, instead of giving such to the Times-Independent. By a dainty little card received Tuesday, we offer our best editorial congratulations and wishes for a long and useful career to Master Norton Keith Davis, who arrived at the home of Bro. Horace M. Davis of the Cid Journal on the 24th instant, and we presume has already taken super vision of that editorial household. The Arcadia Champion, seemingly run by a nondescript Coolie of the Boxer type of Chinese, for some reason is always knocking on Loup City. Scarcely a week passes but the foolish fellow makes some fling at this city, evidently with the idea that he is of the Bill Nye type and is capable of saying something funny, but leav ing the impression with sensible people that there is something rotten in the gray matte r he believes lies in the knot grown up from his shoulders and haired over. To give our readers some idea of the phunny ideas em anating from the phunny phellow, we append the following from his last week’s hair-brained comic almanac: (Special Telegram) Loup City, Neb., May 24. A new residence Is being boilt here an) the greatest excitement prevails. Special fiolice have been employed., to keep the populace from carrying away aU the material as souvenirs. Extras were gotten out by the newspapers, and the mayor is thinking of declaring a weeks' holiday to fittingly cele brate the occasion. Many young men and women never before saw a house being bullded. Death of Ed. Conklin. John E. Conklin was bom at Hrin field, Ills., Dec. 6, 1865, and died at Central City, Neb., May 27, 1907. He married Lucy Perkins in 18S4 a ad a short time after this came to Hardv, Neb., where he acted as station agent also at Palmer and Central City, until 1891. In 1892 he moved to Ashton where he resided until July, 1904, when he again moved to Central City. For the last six years he has traveled on the road representing Hargreaves Bros., of /Lincoln, Neb. Mr. Conklin was a member of the M. W. A. and carried *1000 insurance. Mrs. Conklin died Jan. 13, 1905, after a short ill ness. He leaves six boys and one girl to mourn his loss, the eldest boy be ing 22 years old and the youngest 2)4 years old. He also leaves a brother, A. N. Conklin of St. Paul and one brother and sister in Oklahoma. Mr. Conklin was a good business man and loved and respected by all who was acquainted with him. He opened up entirely new territory when he com menced working for the wholesale house and had built up a business until he wood at the head of any man in employ of his firm in amount of business done', and salary earned. To show the esteem he was held in by his employem, who upon hearing of his death, at once offered the posi tion to any one of his older boys, and one of them will undoubtedly take up the work laid clown by the father. Mr. Conklin was Jn oqrcity one night only J^° wpeks ago and seemed a$ cheerful end hejdtfcy gs any ope. He was ili only ten days with kidney trouble, but from the first it seemed tbat aothing-oQuia bring relief, sltho’ the best physicians obtainable were employed. The funeral was held at the residence ta Central City, Dr of St. Paul, assisted by Bev. Longstaff of Ftrwell had cinqs of tne services Mr. and Mrs. It G. Taylor, Louis Iteta and B. P. Starr of tpis city attended the funeral. A large number of Urn M. “ citizens of Ashton Commencement Exercises. Although the night was stormy and disagreeable, the Presbyterian church was filled to its utmost seating capacity last Thursday evening on the occasion of the commencement ex ercises of the graduating class of the Loup City high school. As the rain beat against the building, the ex ercises progressed to a finish, all faces wreathed with smiles over the much wished for moisture, and each one expressed their satisfaction over the fact, even if it meant damaged suits and dresses worn for the occasion. The graduates, the Misses Bertha Mead, Emma Outhouse, Lula Lee and Frances Sweetland and Mr. Ben Swanson occupied the center of the stage, flanked on either side by Prin cipal Dale and Assistant Principal Miss House, while to their left was the speaker for the occasion, ex-Con gressman Shallenberger, Attorney R. P. Starr, who was to present the class with .their diplomas, and the Revs. Guernsey and Wise, who gave benedic tion to the proceedings, while o‘er liead was suspended the class motto, “Esse quam videri.” The exercises commenced with a piano duet by Misses Nellie House and Meroe Outhouse, fallowed with invocation by Rev. Guernsey. This was followed with a piano solo by Mrs. R. P. Starr, and then a masterly address by Hon. A. C. Shallenberger on “Educa tion for Citizenship’’ which received the warmest • plaudits of his well satisfied hearers. A piano solo by Miss Ernestine Odendahl was then followed by a few choice sentences from Mr. Starr, who closed by presenting to the class their well earned diplomas. Benediction was pronounced by Rev. Wise, after which the large audience paid their regards to the graduates, congratulating them over the most auspicious occasion, and meeting personally the speaker for the occasion, Hon. Mr. Shallen berger. All in all, the evening will be long remembered as one of the most interesting in Loup City's edu cational history. An intersting item of the commencement exercises inad vertantly omitted was the presenta tion of the class scholarship given to Miss Emma Outhouse, who won the class honors. Class Play Well Rendered. The play “Esmeralda'’ given last Friday and Saturday nights by the class of ‘07, was a very pleasant sur prise to our people, in that it showed the cast to be composed of quite sur prising histronic talent, besides giv ing a drama of intense interest. The first act deals with a quaint old North Carolina farmer who has a shrew for a wife and ;whose lead strings make the old henpecked hus band feel like “30 cents” all the time. They are possessed of a charming daughter, in exact contrast to the vixenous, ambitious mother, who also leads her a cruel and unloved ex istence, but the love between father and daughter is very touching. A lover, in the person of a neighboring farmer is ignored by the mother as much as he is loved by the daughter and respected by the meek old father. The farm is sold to a speculator for a fabulous sum, because of rich ore finds on the land and the farmer, wife and daughter are next found in Paris, where the mother tries to marry the daughter to an adventurous noble man. Other characters there found are an artist and two sisters, who are all in spirit with the old farmer and daughter and against the ambitious mother. A gentleman of leisure, who had been sketching around the old North Carolina scenes comes to Paris and falls in love with one of the artist’s pretty sisters. Also comes across the big pond the farmer lover, who finds himself fabulously rich over ore on his farm, and the old farmer correspondingly poor by the absence of the rich metal supposed to have been on his former possessions, the nobleman makes his getaway, be cause the girl is poor, the mother relents, »>he lover is magnanimous, marries the girl and overlooks and cares for the old folks. The old North C&roliinan was well represented by Ben Swanson, as if the part were written for him. Emma Outhouse did the vixen and ambitious mother to perfection. Frances Sweetland was the most lovable daughter and true to her lover,..while the faithful and loyal lover in 'Archie Kearns ’08, was a very true portrayel of the part. Clifford Rein ’09, as the speculator, was true to life. Lowell Truelsen TO as a man of leisure and lover was very natural. Jack Desmond, the artist, as portrayed by Herman Ohlsen ’08, and Misses Bertha Mead and Lula Lee, the artist’s sisters, fitted in their part of the drama as natural as though it were in real life. Hempel Jonas made an accomplished wealth hunting marquis, Frenchy and natural to the occasion. All in all, we do not see where the play could have been better staged nor the character parts better distributed. The musical part of the program, interspersed between acts, by the Misses Nellie House, Meroe Outhouse, Ernestine Odendahl and Mrs. R. P. Starr, were equally well rendered and well received. The opera house was well filled both even ings by enthusiastic audiences of friends of all those taking part and none but the choicest expressions of pleasure over it all were expressed.
