The Northwestern will be a regular visitor to keep them posted on their home affairs. It seems Loup City is within the next few days to lose a nnmber of iCs citizens. .L A. Thompson, George Truelsen, Richard Baker and C. I>. Guilford are among those wiio will with their families remove to the much-talked-of Montezuma Valley, in southern Colorado. We understand E.

We received a pleasant call last : Friday from our good friend, Andy i Gray, accompanied by his brother, ! Win. A. Gray, of Darlington, Idaho. I who has been visiting his numerous i relatives and friends here for the past number of weeks, but who is to leave for home this week. Mr. Gray was formerly a farmerof Sherman county, leaving here years ago for the valleys and mountains of Idaho, where he lias prospered financially’ and comes east at least twice a year with big cattle shipments, taking occasion at these times to run up and see his aged father, who is past the 90th milestone in the pathway of life, and also to visit his many brothers and other relatives, who still find Sher man county good enough for them.

I where he will take charge of a large ranch. Mrs. Leininger will join him there in a few weeks. We wish this worthy young couple unbounded suc cess in their new home. Again the motor on this branch crippled the service on Monday of this week, some of the machinery be coming disabled when it had gotten so far as Rockville, and an engine had : to be sent for to haul it into St. Paul. 1 The motor service, so far as this I branch is concerned, seems to be par ticularly unfortunate, and the fre ; quency with which there is a break down causes much grumbling from ! the patrons of the road. This was ; not the case before Motorman Guy | Toulouse received his broken wrist I which laid him off duty, and we trust he may get lightning express speed on his injured member toward re covery. that motor service may be all right again. Tlie thousand-and-one friends of W. R. Mellor were pleased to note lbs home-coming last week for an over Sunday visit, and the scores of warm hand clasps he received show he is a prime favorite with our people. When Will Mellor was unanimously re-elect ed secretary of the State Fair As sociation a few weeks since, it was suggested he make his home address as Lincoln, his headquarters. To this Mr. Mellor demurred claiming his permanent home as Sherman county and to which county should the honors of the secretaryship be accredited, if honors they were con sidered. Good for W. R.* Mellor and his standing up for Loup City and his real home county. The services at tlie Presbyterian church last Sunday, both morning and evening were of an unnsually in teresting character. In the evening the services were in charge of the Brotherhood, the new church or ganization. and Judge Aaron Wall was the speaker of the evening, his subject being the "‘Life of Washing ton." The Brotherhood and the church as an entirety was honored in thus honoring one of our first citizens and a speaker of such known repute. Judge Wall gave an address of much merit, and one such as he was so able to give. The church was crowded with Loup City's best people, who listened most attentively to the splendid address, and at its close gave tlie judge a splendid ovation. Besides the regular church music, an an ti phonal serv ice was given by the! double choir and Mrs. McKinnie gave one of her splendid solos, of especial j sweetuess and beauty. The Brotlier j hood may well lie proud of the first of the number of services they will I give in the future. Mrs. Bushhousen Dead. Died at the home of iier son, Henry Rushhousen, in Roekuille, Monday, Feb. 17th, 1908, Mss. Minnie C. Bush housen, at the advanced age of eighty years. The deceased was liorn in Metmogue, Germany. Dec. 6th, 182<i. She came to the United States when she was eighteen years of age, locating first in New York. Later she moved to Ohio where she lived until 1875, when she moved with her family to Sherman county, Nebraska, locating near Hayestown, where she has lived continuously for the past thirty-three pears. Her husband died twenty-three years ago. Mrs. Rush housen was the mother of nine chil dren. five of whom are dead.

The funeral was held at Rockville Wednesday, and the re mains were interred in the Stine cemetery.—Ravenna News. Fine High School Debate The exercises of the debating class of the high school at the Presbyterian church, Tuesday evening, called forth a large audience of enthusiastic friends of the young orators and the general public.’ It proved a matter of genuine surprise to those present that we have so much oratorical ability in our public school, coupled witn a goodly amount of talent and ability to discuss knotty questions. It would be unfair in us to criticise any one in particular or point out the fine points in thought and oratory of any one of the eight contestants, as all did surprisingly well, and as each retired from the rostrum at the close of the points brought forth, he was greeted with salvos of applause such as the edifice has seldom witnessed. The contestants were Clifford Hein. Chris. Sorensen. Archie Kearns, Clay ton Mead. Lowell Truelsen, Clark Whitaker, Walter Callaham and Will Ohlsen. the judges after considerable discussion deciding upon the first named five as chosen to represent our high school in future debates with students of other high schools. Judge Wall was chairman for the occasion. Messrs. R. J. Nightingale atid H. P. Starr and Rev. L. C. McEwen judges. Music, and good, too, was furnished by Mr. Max Jeffords in a violin solo, and by a number of the young ladies of the’ high school. Only One Day's Session District court convened Tuesdav morning of this week, with Judge Hostetler presiding, and by the close of the day had finished ail business before it and adjourned. Tvvodivorce cases were disposed of, Udy vs. Udv. and Warner vs. Warner, the plaintifis in both cases being the aggrieved wives, to w hom were granted freedom from their galling yokes. The dam ages in the Brock road case were placed at $so. The cases of W. T. Gibson vs. Sherman county, et ai, were dismissed and plaintiff excepts. The Teeter divorce case was passed. The Ashton village ordinance case was decided against the village. In the case of the county of Sherman vs. Geo. H. Gibson, he was given l.“> days in which to plead. The case will come up at the first jury term. The other cases were of minor importance to the public. A new change in the train service of the U. P. on this branch, gives us a noon mail only Mondays, Wednes days and Fridays. This is fine. No wonder our people fall all over them selves in worshiping the charming ef forts of the Union Pacific to give us poorest of mail facilities. Local Notes.
