day last week and severely injured,
as was also the animal he was riding.
Only one little fracas disturbed the
pleasant observance of the Fourth in
Loup City, two young fellows engag
ing in the pleasantry about noon, of
course while the marshal was at
dinner. And it was all over the care
less handling of blank cartridge pistols.
A good sized tarantula was found
in a bunch of bananas just opened up
at A. E. Chase’s store on the Fourth
and may now be seen in a glass bottle
at the store. In the bunch was also
found a tarantula nest. Is is quite
a curiosity to those who have never
before seen one of these dangerous
spiders.
One of the fellows on the Fourth
perpetrated the be-whiskered joke
that the weather was so warm that
an old lady in the country engaged a
load of ice from King Conger to put
in her pond to keep her ducks from
laying boiled eggs. Whereat the boys
took the ancient joke to Frank Fos
ter and had him shave off its whiskers
to make the thing look original and
new.
A couple of boys, who, if they had

the party to make a hasty getaway.
Such Idiotic action on the part of
young scamps is disgraceful and it is
too bad they were not apprehended.

Early Settler Passes Away.
Rev. McEwen was called to Ashton
last Saturday to officiate at the
funeral of Mr. Joseph Seifert, one of
Sherman county’s old settlers. Mr.
Seifert was born in Austria in 1830,
married Theresa Nesner in 1861, and
came to America in 1874 and to Ne
braska in 1888, taking up a homestead
3 miles south of Ashton, where he re
mained up to the time of his death.
Ten children were born to them, six
of whom are living. He had been ill
for over a year. Two months prior
to his death he went on a visit to his
daughter in Omaha and passed away
at her home. The funeral was largely
attended, friends coming for miles to
pay their respects to their old friend
and neighbor. His wife and six chil
dren are left to cherish the memory
of a kind and affectionate husband
and father.

Rev. Guernsey, wife and little son
returned last Thursday evening from
their protracted visit to their old
home in New York state. At this
writing, Friday, the good brother has
been too busy straightening out the
tangled threads of history and getting
his household matters in ship-shape
to tell us what we already fully under
stand, that he and his family have
had a most delightful yme while
absent.
We received another postcard from
Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Eisner, last Fri
day, dated at Berlin, Germany, June
24th. Mr. Eisner writes: “Another
three weeks and we hope to be with
you Loup City folks again. Will sail
the 2nd of July for America. Travel
ing is getting mighty tiresome. Hav
ing lots of rain here, only seen a half
dozen days of sunshine. Nebraska
beats them all for climate in general.
Berlin is a nice, clean city, the best I
have seen yet, and has over two mil
lion inhabitants.” The postcard
gives a pretty street scene in Berlin,
with magnificent business blocks on
either side.
The editor’s wife was agreeably sur
prised last Thursday by the arrival
of a sister, Mrs. Helen J. Dodds, from
Dunsmuir, California, situated in
the northern part of the state at the
foot of Mt. Shasta, who is on her way
to visit her mother and other sisters
and brothers in Iowa. She will not
return to the Pacific Coast till fall,
when her husband will also come for
a visit and to return with her. She
is the mother of three stalwart sons,
two of whom won honorable dis
tinction in the Phillipine Islands as
Uncle Sam's boys during the Spanish
American war.
About seventy-five people, thirty of
whom were from Loup City, picnicked
at the Musser home up on the river
the Fourth and a most enjoyable «ime
was reported, only one unfortunate
accident being recorded. It seems
one young lady in handling one of the
blank cartridge pistols shot a young
man near the base of the brain, mak
ing the victim think his time to die
had arrived, but after a physician
had picked the wadding out of his
neck and dressed the wound he found
he was liable to be on earth, barring
a worse accident, for future indepen
dence day celebrations.
The largest morning audience of
any so far occupying the Presby
terion church, assembled last Sunday
morning, the special musical program
being a solo by Mrs. B. P. McKinnie,
who delighted the audience with a
volume and magnificence of voice in
her musical number seldom heard
outside of grand opera. Mrs. McKin
nie has for a number of years been
engaged in grand opera, singing in all
the larger cities of this country, and
our people are fortunate in being
able to hear a lady of her musical
ability. Mr. and Mrs. McKinnie have
consented to give a musical recital in
the Presbyterian church some time
this fall, and on that occasion we feel
assured will occur the irchest musical
treat ever offered to our people.
During the heavy rainstorm last
Friday night, the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Alex Baillie in Washington
township was totally destroyed by
lightning. The fire occurred right in
the midst of the heavy rain, about
one o’clock in the morning, Mrs.
Palllie fortunately waking from a
heavy slumber by the smell of smoke
and rousing her husband and son,
Alex, in time for all to escape from
the burning building, but not in time
to save anything of value, two trunks
and contents being the dnly things
taken therefrom, save a few pieces of
wearing apparel. We understand Mr.
Baillie carried $1,000 insurance on
tha home and contents. They will
immediately begin the erection of a
n«W home on the site of the old. The
host of friends of the estimable fami
ly will sympathize with them in their
financial loss, but glad.no loss of life
of limb Is recorded. By good, fortune
