Rev. L. C. McEwen of the Pre>
byterian church in this city, last
Sunday evening tendered his resigna
tion as pastor of the church, to take
effect about the first of December.
Rev. McEwen has received and accept
ed a call to the First Presbyterian
church at Kearney, a much larger
and greater church and work than
here, and an important advancement
for him in his life work in the ser
vice of his Master. Rev. McEwen has
done a great work for the church here,
in fact a work almost unprecedented
in the history of Presbyterianism in
so small a town, having by tireless
efforts and unflagging energy, built
np a good membership, and secured
the building of one of the finest j
church buildings in the state, which
is a pride not only to the Pres
byterians themselves, but also to
every citizen of Loup City and Sher
man county. The reverend has es
tablished a reputation as a pulpit
orator that has brought calls to him
not only from the one he has accept
ed. but from other and even larger
cities, but failed to see his way clear
to accept a call elsewhere until he
had fulfilled his mission here and
could feel satisfied as to the per
manency and future success of the
church in Loup City. This he feels
is accomplished and he will be fol
lowed to his new field of labor by the
best wishesof notonly his own church
people, but the kindest regards of our
people at large.

A sad accident occurred at Ravenna
Saturday evening when Elmer Lewis,
agent for the Ravenna Creamery Co.
was struck by a switch engine and
literally chopped to pieces. Mr. Lewis
is well known throughout this section
of the country, as he has been in the
employ of that company for a number
of years. He leaves a wife and six
children, also an aged mother.
There was a wreck in the Hazard
railroad yard Sunday afternoon, three
cars being derailed. The train crew
from Ravenna and section men came
in to repair damages, as some of the
cars were in rolling condition. Preston
Heater and good wife treated the
tired and hungry railroad bovs to a
warm lunch and hot coffee,'which
was highly appreciated.
Friendship, Love and Truth
“My Boy, Jack,” will probably be
one of the most refined productions
given at Pilger’s opera house this
season. There are no slum scenes, no
heavy browed villians, no adventurers,
no exaggerated climaxes or impossible
( situations.no monkey-faced comedians
no impossible Hebrews and no short
skirted soubrettes. but there is plenty
of fun. causing hearty whole-souled
laughter: bright, witty dialogue,
reasonable and logical complications
and situations, set in an atmosphere
; of art. with a touch of life in Bohemia.
I and there is not one word which can
offend the most sensitive nature.
“My Boy. Jack,” is a story of friend
ship. love and truth, and no greater
sermon has ever been preached from
any pulpit by the most eminent
divines of the day, than can be drawn
from the presentation of “My Boy,
Jack.” “Jack Paden.'' the hero, is
the acme of young American manhood,
he is true, loyal, chivalrous and self
sacrificing, he is the kind of boy.
that in time of trouble, goes to the
front and dies for a principle, and in
these days of hustle, worry, intrigue
and selfishness, it is refreshing to
, come in contact with one of nature's
noblemen, and such is Jack Paden,!
' w hose unconscious motto is, “Do un-1
to others as you would have them do j
unto you.” and yet he will make you
laugh. Edwin Milton Royle is res
ponsible for him. and he may well be
proud of “My Boy, Jack.” This pro
duction will be at Pilger's opera
house, Loup City. Tuesday, Nov. 17. j
