The McKinnie Musicale
Our music loving people will be
pleased to know that Mr. and Mrs.
B. P. McKinnie will on the 7th of
February give a musicale at the Pres
byterian church in this city. Mr. and
Mrs. McKinnie ior years were in
grand opera work, traveling over this
country, singing in the principal cities
of the United States with some of the
best opera companies, and we know,
from their favoring our people at
various times with solos and duets,
that their coming musicale will be
one of the most enjoyable events ever
given in this section. Mrs. McKinnie.
known as Miss Tekla Farm, in the
musical world, was formerly prima
donna with the Savage Grand Opera
Company in the great musical pro
duction of “Carmen,'' and with the
Schumann-Heink Opera Company in
"Love's Lottery." and is on# of
America's greatest singers. Mr. Mc
Kinnie was for years a leading bari
tone in some of this country's great
est opera companies, both retiring
from opera work lately, uniting their
fort unes in wedlock only a few months
since, Mr. McKinnie bringing his
bride to Sherman county and settling
on their big farm just west of Loup
City. Their retiring from the musical
field has been a great loss to grand
opera, but a corresponding gain to
our people. They have frequently
sang in the Presbyterian church in
this city by urgent request of admir
ing friends and no doubt will give to
our people the finest musical recital
ever given here. We will next week
give a number of excerpts from the
big dailies of the country speaking in
most eulogistic terms of Miss Farm's
.former appearance in the large cities
of this country. In the meantime fix
the date of their appearance here in
your minds and be prepared to witness
the very finest musical recital ever
given to our people.
Today couldn’t be a better day for
A. H. Hansel’s stock sale.

A meeting of the session and trus
tees of the Presbyteriau church was
held at the manse. Tuesday evening,
to consult with the pastor. Rev.
McEwen, who had received a call
from the Second Presbyterian church
of Council Bluffs, Iowa, to its pastor
ate. A most vigorous protest from
every one present, and unanimous
voice for him to remain as pastor of
the church here, with a hearty good
will offered in numerous talk* and
pledges of co-operation, caused the
reverend to refuse the call to the city
church and he promised to remain
with the congregation here. The
general feeling of relief and gladness
over the result of the meeting will be
voiced by the entire congregation,
who have been pleased over his
pastorate, and the church will gather
new energy and take on added life.
The Northwestern voices not only the
congregation, but the people general
ly, when it tenders congratulations
to the church over the happy out
come.

Death of E. W. Van Dorn
E. W. YanDorn, father of Mrs. T.
Reed of this city, and for many years
a resident here, but for the last four
years of Salem, Oregon, died at the
latter place Jan. 10th. 1908. ■ Van'’
as his many friends loved to call him,
was for a number of years a well
known figure about Loup City and
surrounding country. For some time
following the arrival of the Union
Pacific in this village he was a stock
buyer here and then for some years
engaged as a builder and contractor,
doing a large amount of work in this
way and as a carpenter. Mr. YanDorn
was a kind neighbor, and a steadfast
friend, as many of those who partook
of liis friendshsp will cheerfully
testify. His devotion to his wife and
children reached almost to fanaticism
and heavier will become their bur
dens as they realize their loss in his
death. His widow and five children
who survive him. in their far off
western home, will lose the shelter
ing arm and the kindly ministrations
of a manly guardian, who has "stacked
iiis arms” for the last bugle call. An
organic heart ailment had long battled
medical science, and in its heaviest,
most depressing moments its inten
sity had told him the end was not
j far distant, and like a true child of
nature, sadly but profoundly, he \
I made ready for the end. There will
will be many who will tenderly think j
of the departed and a deep seated and
tender melancholy will go out to the
few kinsmen who mourn his death.
The Northwestern was for .many
years a regular visitor in that honest
but simple home, and it is with pro
found regret that we note the call
from his Maker was to come so
early. ***
