Mr. Thompson is a cousin of Mrs. Ohlsen and they came up especially to visit Mr. Fred Stehr. While the Northwestern is not yet in possession of the exact dates of the coming Chautauqua, it can an nounce that it is very probable the date for the opening day will be August 19 or 23, and to continue for six days. There has been an aggra vating delay so far over furnishing the looked for dates, aud as a conse quence it has been impossible to advertise the attraction. It is to be hoped the management of the circuit will speedily announce the exact dates so that the home management may get to work to perfect all details of its coming and do the necessary advertising of the attractions. C.eo. Stork is re-painting J. S. Pedler's residence in line shape. Martin Enevoldsen's pood father and mother are here visiting him. Mrs. T. M.

He went down to Dodge county Monday, as we understand to look up a new location for business. The Sunday school exercises at the ! Presbyterian church last Sunday evening were the best yet held in that church and were most unique and of an interesting nature. The house was tilled to its utmost seating capacity, the Baptist congregation courteously refraining from their usual evening services and attending in a body. Mrs. Eva Kendall and Miss Celia I Conklin or St. Paul, and the Misses Mary and Celia Blocker of Adrian, Mo., were guests of Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Taylor last Thursday and Friday, while Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Taylor of St. Paul, and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Blocker of Adrian. Mo., spent Sunday at tire same home. Mr. Blocker is a i cousin of E. G. Taylor. The Northwestern last Saturday did programs for the Fourth of July celebration at Ashton, which promises to be on a big scale, as Ed. Jamrog is secretary and never does anything on a small scale. The Loup City base ball boys will play Ashton on that day and a generous program << sports and amusemedts, with fire works at night, are promised. The B. Y. P. U. of the Rapt is: church and the Junior Union contest ed to see which could get- the most members. The Juniors won. they now number more than forty, under the leadership of Miss Emma Rowe. As a result of their defeat the seniors gave the juniors a picnic. Tuesday forenoon two loads of happy children were taken out to Hawk’s grove, two and one half miles soutli of town, where the day was spent in out-door sports. All arrived safely home at night. ** The balloon ascension and para chute leap last Saturday afternoon by Prof. W. A. Jacobs of St. Paul, was one of the best to be seen. The day was ideal and the balloon rose in almost a straight line, not a breath of air seeming astir, and when the shot rang out the aeronaut descend ed in his parachute at a spot in the rear of Jeffords’ jewelry store, w ithin a block of w here the ascension w as made, while the balloon fell at the rear of the Ilerschlag building, buf a little over a block from the ascension ground. All agreed it was one of the very prettiest and most successful they had ever witnessed. Loup City will celebrate the glorious Fourth at Jenner’s Park this year and Mr. Jenner has ipade extensive arrangements to make it one of the biggest days ever had here. There will be a clever boxing match be tween Profs. Wilson and Dutiie which all will want to see, besides a long array of sports and amusements, good refreshments, dancing in the pavilion day and night, and a splendid display of fire-works in the evening. It will not be necessary for Loup City people to go away from home on the Fourth to have their celebration, and our neighboring towns and the coun try roundabout will do well to come in and have a good celebration at Jenner's Park. Messrs. Frank Foster and Dan DeWitt, the new tonsorial artist, who recently bought out Frank Rob bins, have formed a partnership in the barber business and will run a shop in the building occupied by Mr. Foster. They had the partition re moved farther to the rear of the building, repaired and repapered, and made other needed improvements, and will run a first-class parlor in every respect. Mr. Foster is one of the best barbers ever in the city and Mr. DeWitt comes to us with a splen did reputation as an artist in his pro fession, and we shall expect the boys to have a good run from the outset. We understand they will later put in a bathroom and give the public the very best of service in that as well. May success attend them. Bob Pritchard went to Farwell this morning.^ Misses Ella Taylor and Lela Chase went to Lincoln yesterday morning for a few days’ visit. A shower bath is being put in the Young Men's Reading rooms, for the accommodation of the membership. Mr. and Wrs. W. T. Owens enter tained at dinner last Sunday Messrs. J. A. Converse and J. W.

Mrs. Mary Gardner orders the Northwestern sent to her grandson. Austin Bowers, at Twist, X. I)., for a year. Thanks. Rev. Wise, J. I. Depew. Editor Brown and E. W. Thompson took an all-niglit's camping out fishing Mon day night and came back full—of fish. Bert Charlton went to Lincoln this morning to assist Bryan in entertain ing the visiting democratic delega tions to that city for a few days. He will return Monday or Tuesday. Mesdames A. E. Chase, W. P. Reed. W. H. Eettenmayer and 1). I). Grow drove over into Ashton township last | Friday to visit Mrs. Theo. Wilson, : who has been quite ill for a long period. They found her much im | proved. Rev. Joseph James went to St. Paul Wednesday morning on invitation of | the Baptist people to consult with ! them over the feasibility of re I organizing the Baptist society at that place, and if done, will be asked to take hold of the pastoral work. Ilis ; son. PAY. James. Baptist pastor here, accompanied him. We are glad to note that our first" class photographer, Edgar Draper, received a silver medal at the con vention at Fremont, for the best dis play of photographs at that state meet. Among them were two of the editor's daughter. Miss Hazel. There is not a better photographer in the state than Edgar Draper, go where you will. A letter from our good friend. Tom Burton, is to the effect that he has sold his farm at Aurora, Mo., to good advantage and bought another parcel of land near Galena, Mo. He com plains of too much rain in that sec tion. for instance, claiming it rained for forty days between March 1’.! and June 215. which he insisted was too much of a wet proposition. He re ports, however, that corn promises a good crop, though fruit will not amount to much. Mrs. M. II Mead had some thirty dollars burned at her hone a few days ago. She placed the money, consisting of silver, paper money and a bank draft in the stove for safe keeping, while she was absent from the house a few moments, and later Miss Bertha Mead seeing a quantity of paper and refuse in the stove struck a lighted match to it. not knowing the money was therein. Only the silver was saved and taken from the stove in a blackened state. A man ora paper can not benefit his town by tearing it down. The effort of certain individuals to hurt the town and its business interests by the talk or publication of articles detrimental to Loup City, because, forsooth, the temperance people wish to rid the town of saloon interests, is a poor way of building up the town or country. \Ve hardly concur in the opinion that a town cannot live and prosper without saloons. It is tiie same kind of talk that used to obtain with a certain element in other days when gambling dens were driven out. Don't be a knocker. Conger Bros, inform us that they will not be able to start their new short order house, the Ron Ton Restaurant, before a week from the coining Saturday. The boys expect to make the Bon Ton the finest short order house in this section of the country, serving the best of every thing on the market, finely cooked and up-to-date in every particular. They have just returned from a short trip away to different cities, to get on to the very best methods used in short order houses, and witli their hustling natures are sure to be in the lead in this business. Don't forget they expect to open up next week Saturday, and invite the public to give them a trial on that day. Mr. L. P. Squires of Loup City was in the city last Saturday, having come down for the purpose of erects ing a monument at the grave of his son in the Aurora cemetery. He re mained over Sunday to visit old friends. Mr. Squires has been very prosperous since going to Sherman county and his many friends in this county are pleased to hear that such lias been his fortune. Mr. Squires informs us that he recently sold one of his 160-acre farms for $4,000 that cost him only a little over $1,000 and he still has a half section of land left lie could sell for as good an advance in price. He reports that his son, Charles, has cleaned up $15,000 or more on his land and personal proper ty, that is he could realize that much if he wished to dispose of his holdings. We are pleased to note the prosperity of former Hamilton coun ty farmers in Sherman county.— Aurora Sun.
