School Notes.
There was quite a large attendance
at literary last Friday afternoon.
The eighth grade had their final
examination in agriculture last week.
As the papers are not yet corrected,
we can not state how they fared.
We are sorry to learn that Miss
Crews, the eighth grade teacher, has
resigned her position to which she
was unanimously elected for another
term.
Miss Minnie Gilbert was a visitor
in the different rooms Monday. She
requested that as many as possible ol
the children should meet at the
school house on Memorial Day and
then march to the church.
Prof. O’Connell, who will succeed
Supt. Dale in the superintendency ol
the school, visited in the different
rooms Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day of last week.
Prof. O’Connell last Monday re
turned to his home at Fairburv aftei
spending- a few days here looking
after school matters he will havs
superintendency of the coming year
He has left a decidedly favorable ira
pression with our people.
Motorman Guy Toulouse is certain
the victim cf misfortune. On Monday
of this week he re-broke his right artr
in handling the big lever on his car
and notwithstanding the fact that li«
wired for a man to take his place he
was compelled to run the car on Tues
day and Wednesday, suffering as he
was, before he was relieved. The fact
is. Guy began work again before his
arm was entirely well from the first
break, owing to the pressing need ol
his services, and the re-break comes
as a consequence of his too obliging
a nature in returning to work at toe
early a stage.
The program for the Brotherhood
meeting a week from next Sunday
will be of an especially interesting
character, as Frank S. Robbins and
Frank W. Burleigh are assigned or
the program for sketches of army
experience. As Mr. Robbins served
in the Philippines and Mr. Burleigh
is but recently from three years’
service in the Coast Artillery at
Fortress Monroe. Ya., there is reason
to believe the boys can give interest
ing pointers on army life in its
various phases. All men are invited
to the Brotherhood meetings, whethei
attendants at the Presbyterian church
or not, hence all are cordially invited
uo come out and hear the soldier boys
talk.
J. S. Pedler. Mrs. R. L. Arthur and
Mrs. Viola Odendahl returned last
Saturday from Omaha, where they
were in attendance at the Grand
Chapter of Eastern Stars. Mrs. L.
Hansen and Mrs. T. A. Taylor return
ing Monday evening and Mr. and Mrs.
J. W. Long returning Tuesday even
ing. Loup City was honored in the
appointment of Mrs. R. L. Arthur as
“Esther.” one of the points of the
star, while Mr. Long received quite a
flattering complimentary vote for
associate grand patron. Loup City
is surely on the map for Eastern Star
honors, Mr. J. S. Pedler having been
the recipient of its highest honors in
the past, and now one of our city’s
best women receiving grand lodge
honors.
The services at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday evening, undei
the auspices of the brotherhood of
that church were of a very interest
ing character. On that occasion, the
Brotherhood had full charge of the
meeting, furnishing the speakers and
music. J. S. Pedler and R. H. Mathew
were the speakers, the evening being
devoted to "Labor Day" subjects, and
of course did well, as they always do.
The music consisted of a solo, a duet,
a quartet and song service, all male
voices, with R. L. Arthur presiding
at the organ. All in all it was a
interesting service, all taking part
fully living up to expectations. Next
Sunday will be "Mothers' Day” in
the church, on the evening of which
the mothers will have full charge ol
the music and possibly of the othei
j exercises as well.
This coming Saturday night, oui
' people will again have the privilege
| of hearing Mr. Sanford Dodge, sc
popular with our people in Shakes
pearian plays, in the role of Shylook
in the "Merchant of Venice.” With
him is still Miss Louise Marshall, also
a popular favorite with our people,
as well as several other members ol
the company we have heard here
before. This will be the fourth
appearance of Sanford Dodge in oui
city in the past few years, coming
here last year in "Romeo and Juliet.'
It is not necessary to urge our people
to hear Mr. Dodge and his good com
pany this time, as each succeeding
appearance gives them a better house
in Loup City, but it may be well foi
you to secure your reserved seats
early, as they are sure to have a big
house in this greatest and most
popular of Shakespearian plays. Don’t
forget the date, this week Saturdaj
night, May 16th. And say. get there
early, for Sanford Dodge does not
wait till 9 o’clock or after, as is the
case with the average play that comes
to our city. Remember that, and get
to the opera house early, if you dc
not wish to miss the opening scenes
M. H. Mead returned Monday after
noon from a flying business and sight
seeing trip to the Pacific Coast. He
| left here the 25tli of April, stopped
at Fallon, a most beautiful valley ir
S Nevada, and thence on to San Fran
cisco, where he had the pleasure ol
seeing the big battleships enter the
harbor and witnessed the naval parade
Mr. Mead says it was one of the
greatest sights of a lifetime. Speak
ing of the city and its appearance, he
says everywhere are the evidences o1
the great earthquake, although ol
course the re-building has been im
mense, yet on Market street, the mair
thoroughfare of that city, there an
large areas where building has nol
been re-commenced, and an immense
per cent of the business district is
done in buildings that were shaker
down to the first story which ha!
been re-roofed and the work of re
building above the first story is yet t<
be done. Mr. Mead was most for
tunate in getting a fine view of tin
fleet from the foot of Hyde street, at
which point he could have the besi
view of the Atlantic and Pacific fleet!
when they joined in one column, anc
also was equally fortunate in gettinj
a view of the great parade from th<
roof of a down-town building but i
few blocks from the ferry. All in all
while we do not envy the professor’
getting to see the sights, we canno
but regret we were not equally a
fortunate.
