Altogether the day will be remembered by the congregation as one of the most pleas ant memories. Death of Elsworth Ogle. Ellsworth Ogle, manager of C. C. Cooper’s store at Austin, who had been suffering from an abscess in the throat for the past two weeks, died suddenly Tuesday evening about hall past seven o’clock. While Mr. Ogle’s condition had been such as to give little belief for the past few days that he could recover, yet death came suddenly after a tit of coughing, which seemed to exhaust the little vitality left. The cause of Mr. Ogle’s death primarily is seemingly difficult to determine. He had been working with a threshing outfit when he was taken ill. At the' time-in taking a drink of water, he felt some sub stance lodge in his throat, which caused him to cough severely, but shortly after the aggravation ceased and he felt no discomfort. A little later a swelling appeared in his throat and he was taken home and the ser vices of a physician called. An abscess formed and last week Wednes day was lanced, giving much needed relief. Later, fits of coughing ensued, which it is thought ruptured the jugular vein, every coughing spell the blood spurting from the wound made in lancing, which continued at intervals till death relieved the terrible sufferings so patiently en dured for days. We understand the funeral will lake place tomorrow, if relatives wired for arrive by that time. Mr. Ogle was a young man of perhaps thirty years, and was well known over the county, and had been manager of Mr. Cooper’s branch store at Austin since its inception some two years since. He was married a little over two years since to Miss Ida Carpenter, and by this union one child was born, which with the wife is left to mourn his untimely death. He also leaves a wfdowed mother, besides two brothers and two sisters, all living near Austin. The North western, with the community at large, will deeply sympathize with the bereaved family and relatives in the shocking death of their loved one. To My Friends I sincerely regret that my official duties will prevent my seeing all my friends over Sherman county during the present campaign, but take this method of thanking you one and all for your hearty support in the past and trusting my work in the sheriff's office has given sufficient satisfaction to entitle me to your continned sup port in the coming election. Nov. 5th. Again thanking you for your most liberal support in other campaigns and asking your vote once more, I am yours,most obediently to command. L. A. Williams. It Is A Play Of Today. Probably no*play is meeting with greatest favor from the public this season than “My Boy, .lack,” and why should it be otherwise, Mr. Edwin Milton Royle, the author, is a writer of unquestioned popularity and ability. His “Molly Moonshine,” “Captain Impudence,” “Cleo” and “The Squawman” have given him an international reputation. “My Boy, •lack,” has been produced by Mr. Eugene Moore in Milwaukee, Nash ville, Philadelphia, Columbus, Chicago and Pittsbufg, where it has always delighted and charmed the theatre patrons. It is a play of today. It pepicts the most trying moments in a young man’s life who starts out to carve for himself a career. He quarrels with ids father, he leaves home, he fights poverty, he falls in love with a charming girl and gives her up to his best friend, lie outwits her enemies, and proves himself a man. He never loses his good spirits and enthusiasm, but keeps on his way. leaving a path of sunshine be hind him until his father recognizes his worth and begs him to come home and be “My Boy, Jack” again. This play is now under the management of Fred G. Conrad, and will be pres ented here at the opera house.
