Announcement Notice.
I hereby announce myself as a
candidate for the nomination of
County Superintendent of Public In
strnction. subject to the action of
the People's Independent Party pri
maries, of Sherman county, Nebraska.
R. D. Hendrickson.
Reports from Iowa are to the effect
that thefctate will fall one-third short
on its corn crop.
Ross Hammond, the talented edito
of the Fremont Tribune, is an aspirant
for the position of Collector of In
ternal Revenue. Among those who
would ably till that position, we know
of no one who is more worthy, nor
any one who is as deserving as Bro.
Hammond. For years, in season and
out of season, Ross Hammond through
his most influential paper, and in a
personal way has done as much its
any man in the state to build up
Nebraska, and never to our knowledge
has he been recognized in a sub
stantial political way, and as one of
the great army of newspaper men in
the great state of Nebraska, we are
in favor of handing this official plum
to him as a just recognition of the
good work he has bone for the up
building of this great commonwealth.
We trust our senators will see to it
that Ross L. Hammond is recognized
and appointed to the above named
responsible place.
Petitions galore have been received
here for the signatures of those who
favor the re-nomination of Judge
Sedgwick to the supreme bench and
are being signed up. On the other
hand, many of the papers of the state
are calling for the nomination of
Judge M. B. Reese to that important
nlace. claiming lie was turned down
w>r a second term by the railroad in
fluence in 1885, after he had held the
supreme judgeship one term. Judge
Sedgwick is said to have the favor of
t|ie old line politicians and the
railroad forces, while Reese is backed
by the reform element which had
control of the last legislature and
.gave the railreads their pretty black
eyes. Besides the above, people who
have not forgotten the Bartly defal
cation and the many unsavory mat
ters connected therewith, especially
the fact that the present supreme
court, of which Sedgwick is a member,
released the Bartley bondsmen from
liability, are disposed to look with
suspicion upon Sedgwick and his can
didacy, and connect the judge very
closely with that matter. All in all,
there will be a pretty little fight be
tween the Sedgwick and Reese ele
ments. The Northwestern will be
found ferninst any candidate with
the Bartley label on him, and it is up
to the Sedgwick contingent to prove
their man does not wear it.

You are Invited to attend the ser
vices at the Presbyterian church next
Sunday morning. The subject for
the sermon is “A Word bo tfi* Weary.”
There will be no evening service on
account of the meeting, on tihe court
house square.
One of the pleasures of the recept ion
tendered Tuesday evening to *' ‘
Mrs. McKinnie, was the p:
Mr. C. M. Beard, our popul
man, and-his.fair
had just returned
the Jamestown Ex
to
of the evening. It gave added in
terest and zest to the occasion.
A union meeting of the Baptist and
Presbyterian churches will be held
Sunday evening at 7:45 on the court
house square. The members of these
congregations and the public general
ly are cordially invited to attend these
services. They will be short, bright,
interesting.
A very unique entertainment was
given in the publie square last even
ing, by the working young men and
women of Loup City, with the title,
“Independent Boys’ and Girls’ Re
ception.” It was an invitation affair
and confined entirely to those who
clerk in stores, work in offices and en-.
gage in the various vocations. All
married people were barred, hence
the newspaper reporters could not be
present to write up in glowing colors
the dcings of the evening. However,
it is not altogether improbable that
next week’s Northwestern may con
tain in detail the doings, as it had
several reporters present sub rosa.
The public reception given at the
Presbyterian church on Tuesday even
ing in honor of Mr. and Mrs. B. P.
McKinnie, was a most enjoyable affair
to all present. The reception, which
was between the hours of 8:30 and
10:30. was quite well attended, con
sidering the fact of so many being
away on their vacations, and the fur
ther fact of the uncomfortably warm
-weather prevailing. A reception Com
mittee, composed of three married
couples, attended to the introduction
of all present to the guests of honor,
while a bevy of charming young ladies
served dainty refreshments during
the evening. Much to the pleasure
of the company, Mr. and Mrs. B. P.
McKinnie sang a beautiful duet and
Mrs. McKinnie followed with a num
ber of charming vocal and instrument
al solos, completely- captivating the
hearts of her hearers, who were only
restrained by a feeling of courtesy
from insistent and repeated encores.
As the evening waned, several short
talks were given by gentlemen present,
expressing their pleasure over the
occasion and tendering their wannest
congratulations to Mr. McKinnie and
his fair bride with thanks for the
favor of ,the choice music rendered.
