Last Saturday morning, Mrs. Wm.
Larsen received a telegram announc

her mother. Mrs. H. G. Dawiey, at

the preceding day. The news came
as a sudden blow, as no news of her
illness had preceded the dread in
telligence of her death, and was
therefore wholly unexpected. It will
be remembered that only a few
months since the lamented mother
and her husband were here visiting
their daughter and family, Our
people will sympathize with the
bereaved daughter over her irreparable
loss oT “Mother.”
While at the T. M. Reed Imple
ment store the other day, Mr. Reed

slickest affair for business men we
ever saw. It can do for you what no
set of books can do—and that is to
show at first glance just how each
customer stands on credit. It is just
about the completest thing in its line
you could imagine, and will repay its
cost an hundred times over in its
saving of time and mo6ev. Drop in
and see the register and you will lose
no time in securing one. Mr. Reed
has the agency for this and several
adjoining counties.
The Dog Nuisance.
H. M. Walker, living in the north
east part of town, can testify most
thoroughly as to the dog nuisance
ibout town. Last week, dogs so
worried his horses at night running
loose in his pasture that one valuable
mare was badly cut in the wire, in
trying to get away from the dogs.
Mr. Walker gives fair warning that
owners must take care of their dogs
hereafter, or he will appeal to the
law. If some dog owner has to pay
heavy costs for damage done by ills
brute, it will be a lesson for owners
of the thousand and one worthless
ours that make nights hideous.

her condition may not be as serious !
as feared.
Mrs. J. A. Danielson, wife of our,
new B. & M. agent, was op from j
Omaha last Thursdav for a short
visit. It looks now as though Mr. '
Itanielson. who has been in charge of
the office till a regular man could be
secured, will remain with us as regu
lar agent himself. He is a very pleas
ant and accommodating man and.
thoroughly acquainted with the work
and our people are to be congratu
lated over acquiring himself and
family to our citizenship, should the
powers place him here as regular
agent.
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Mellor were up

nearly 200 snap-shots of the various
scenes witnessed, and while here
favored us with a short and interests
ing accouut of his trip and explana
tion of the pictures taken, a large
number of which he had with him.
It was the next best thing to have
taken the big trip. And by the way,
Mr. Mellor had he turned his atten
tion to descriptive writing or lectures,
would have proven a success along
those lines.
Rev. Miss Palmer, Congregational'
minister at Waverly, this state, is in
the city working in the interests of a
Chautauqua system and will probably
result in Loup City having a week of
Chautauqua some time in August.
The leaven is working but we will
not be able to give any definite i
results in time for today’s North- j
western. A Chautauqua for Loup ■
City means much for the business
and intellectual interests of our city
and county. There is every argu
ment to offer in favor of a Chautau
qua and our citizenship should be a
unit in securing it.
A representative of the Northwest
ern visited the Ohlsen Brothers brick
yards last Thurdav and found that
while the force was not busily en
gaged in manufacturing new brick
tliat day it was busily shipping by
carloads to Sargent, and the kilns
were full to overflowing with the
finished and unfinished product, and
the proprietors on the eve of making
extensive improvements in the plant
in many ways. Ohlsen Bros.’ brick
yard means a great deal to the pros
perity of Loup City and Sherman
county and its proprietors are among
our most progressive citizens While
there Mr. Henry Ohlsen gave us some
surprising figures of the extensive
business of the company the past few
years and are contemplating a most
pleasant business surprise in the near
future, which is yet in embryo state,
and we wait till a later date to give
publication, when the gentlemen
shall have the matter in full control,
when the Northwestern will be happy
to give the satisfactory facts. Wait
just a little while.
