to write to Miss Nellie House and
offer her the principalship of our
schools if she could be induced to
accept. As it stands now, all the
teachers for the coming year have
been selected with the exception of
principal and assistant.
Those who did not attend the lec
ture by I)r. A. E. Turner. President
of Hastings College, at the Presby
terian church on Monday evening,
missed a rare treat, as his lecture was
one of the few great lectures delivered
in Loup City in recent years. Dr.
Turner is a genial, affable gentleman
or commanding presence, strong per
sonality and scholarly attainments.
He handled his subject most admir
ably and held his audience spell-bound
for an hour and a quarter. His ever
ready wit and apt illustrations were
met with such hearty response that
the speaker was under the necessity
of pausing again and again for the
applause to subside. Dr. Turner will
always meet with a cordial welcome
from the people of Loup City who had
the pleasure of hearing him on this
occasion.
G. Barton Wilson, advance agent of
the Hot Springs doctors, who was
here last week arranging for their
coming, is a newspaper man and was
correspondent for a leading daily of
this country in China during the
Boxer rebellion. During a portion of
that time Mr. Wilson was an inmate
of a Chinese prison for six months.
Mr. Wilson was also a newspaper cor
respondent in the Phillipines for a
season during the Spanish-Ameriean
war and carries deep scars in the
forehead and on his right forearm, as
mementoes presented him by the
Filipinos in their endeavor to mop
Uncle Sam’s boys off the islands. He
has also been an extensive traveler in
the old countries and we should opine
has seen enough of old Mother Earth
and Neptune’s deep to satisfy any old
man, let alone one of his rather
tender age—only 27 years. He is the
owner of two country newspapers, one
in Kansas and one in Nebraska. Mr.
Wilson is also a contributor to a num
ber of magazines and periodicals, and
one of the brightest young men it has
ever been our good fortune to meet.

Mrs. Harvey O'Bryan came up from
Grand Island yesterday for a few
days’ visit with friends.
Sunday last was quite a busy day
for the churches. At the Presby
terian church in the morning- Dr.
Turner, president of Hastings college,
spoke to the people on educational
themes, and gave one of the best
lectures ever heard in this city. The
same morning and in the afternoon,
Mrs. Mary Hopper of Chicago spoke
at the Baptist church on the tem
perance question, aud in the evening
at the Methodist church there was a
union temperance rally of all the
churches, at which Mrs. Hopperspoke
fifty-five minutes and Dr. Turner
seventeen minutes, the church being
well filled and most interested in the
themes presented.
On Friday evening of last week the
Philathea class of the Baptist church
entertained the Baraca class. A few
days previous invitations were sent
out on past cards bearing the Phila
thea class colors. At about 7:30 the
two classes gathered at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Sweetland where
the evening was spent in games and
guessing contests, when a light lunch
was served by the ladies. Each mem
ber of the Philathea class wore their
class colors and pin. At a late hour
the guests departed, the president of
the Baraca class first thanking the
Philathea class for their entertain
ment and promising that their class
would in the near future return the
compliment.
