The men’s meeting at the M. E. church last Sunday afternoon was ex cendingly well attended and Evange list Bromley succeeded so well in presenting a wholesale lot of truths and good words, that the audience almost unanimously requested him to give a second lecture to men only next Sunday afternoon. The lecture was well worth listening to, and caused much favorable comment, and we suppose some to the contrary, as might be expected, though so far we , have heard no adverse criticism. “Ole Swanson” “ONEOF THE BEST, if not the! best of the season is the unanimous verdict repardinp the new Swedish comedy-drama •Ole Swanson,” which will appear at Filler's opera nouse Monday, Jan. 18th. The play is ful of pufe enjoyment, clever comedy, blended with mirthful melody, all in all. the purest as well as the finest of popular successes.

The Loup City Mercantile people are willing to aver that advertising pays by a great big majority. On last Saturday, being the first day of their big clearing sale, tlieir receipts ex ceeded $500. Their big page adver tisement in last week's Northwestern was a most appreciative paying in vestment to them. Mr. A. L. Davis of Ord. arrived Monday evening to take charge of the mechanical dearptment of the Tirnes lndependent office under the new proprietor, C. F. Beushausen. He seems a very pleasant gentleman and will no doubt prove a valuable adjnnct to the office under the new manage ment. He is a brother of Editor Davis of the Ord Journal. An amateur wrestling match was held in Society Hall in this city last week Wednesday evening between a Mr. Cannon and Charley Bock, re sulting in a decision for the former. Cannon won the tirst throw and in the second trial he failed to throw Bock, but was given the decision on ! points. Bockseemed to be the favorite of the sporting element preceding the j trial. This is the week the new manage ment of the Times-]ndependent shy their editorial castor into the ring A visit to the office Monday morning found Editor Beushausen represented at the business office by his wife, who intends to perfect herself in all branches of the art preservative, hav ing always, as she said, a predeliction for newspaper work, and we believe will make good as a most valuable aid to ber husband in looking after the detail work and perfecting herself1 in the various branches of newspaper life. In remitting to the Northwestern the iirst of the year, F. S. Robbins writes of his farming life on his ranch near Greeley, as follows: “We are all i well and doing tine. Our market is; not as good as Loup City, corn being' only 42c. but that don’t bother me for 1 buy stock and feed all my corn up. ] picked 65 acres all alone this fall. How is that fora chin-scraper? 1 almost live with the stock and 1 am thin in flesh, but feel fine. I have just built a tine hog house, and the ranch looks better than it did when 1 1 came over here.” Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Converse cele brated their golden wedding anni versary at Gibbon last week Monday, Dec. 28th. Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Tracy attended from here and Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Chase were also invited but were unable to attend. In another column will be found an article taken from the Gibbon Reporter giving par ticulars of the notable event, and we take this late occasion to tender to the worthy couple the best congratu lations of the Northwestern, and a wish that they may live to celebrate the diamond anniversary of their wedded life. i he cyclonic disturber of the risi bilities, ‘‘Ole Swanson.” the enormous- j ly successful Swedish comedy drama, appears at Pilger's opera house on Monday, Jan. 18th, 1909. The mirth ful eccentricities of this famous Scan dinavian dialect character are aug-; j merited by an unexcelled coterie of j J New York artists, all of whom are | experts in fun-making, not a •‘stick” | in the company, not a poor line in the ! dialogue, not a chestnut or a ques l tionable word, nothing but flashes of 1 prime wit and ludicrously laughable l situations, interspersed with pleasing I specialties. Come and see ‘‘Ole Swan !son." He's awfully funny. Elsewhere in this issue will be | found the legal notice of the sale of j the Gotlieb Laier estate by R. J. j Nightingale, special master commis sioner appointed by order of the United States Circuit Court. By j said notice we see the estate will be1 sold in whole or in part for the bene fit of the heirs, and will give purchai ers a chance at, the entire 480 acres, or any part thereof, which comprises i some of tiie finest farming and stock raising land in Sherman county. The sale will take place on Tuesday, the 9th day of February next, and it will lie well for investors in Sherman county real estate to bear the above in mind if they want something in real estate worth their while. Last Bugle Call. Word was received here on Tuesday , morning ef t his week that Mr. August Reiman had died at the St. Joseph hospital the evening previous, where he was taken some three weeks’ since for the purpose of undergoing an operation, from th&effects of w hich he passed away on the date above. A ugust Reiman was born in Leignitz, Germany, July 31, 1839, and died Januray 4. 1909. aged 09 years, 5 months and 4 days. He came over to America in 1859, and served through the civil war, three years as a private in Company K, 2nd Regiment of Vir ginia Infantry Volunteers, and re enlisted as bugler in Company K, 6th Regiment West Virginia Cavalry, serving to the close of the war. He was married at Booneville, Indiana, Sept. 19, 1886. to Miss Karoline Meilclien, and to them were born six children, five of whom, with the wife survive him. The children are as follows: Mrs. S. Thrasher, Miss Mary Reiman and Mr. Jos. Reiman, all of this city: Mrs. Chas. Johns of Comstock, Nebr.. and Mrs. B. F. Tucker of Illinois. Mr. Reiman with bis family has been a resident of Loup City and Sherman county for | many years and leaves beside his family a large number of friends and comrades who bear testimong to his upright life and estimable character, and who deeply sympathize with his dear ones in the loss of a loving husband and devoted father. The body arrived last evening and the funeral will be held this afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Baptist church of which he was a member, under the auspices of Shiloh Post, G. A. R. Death of Baby Conger. John, infant son of Ashley and Belle Conger, died on Dec. 28th, 1908, at 11 o'clock p. m. He was born on Thanksgiving Day, 1905. The funeral service was held in the Baptist church on Dec. 31. Pastor James spoke from the words of David: “But now heisdead, whereforesliould I fast? Can I bring him back againV I shall go to him, but lie will not re turn to me.”—II Sam. 12:23. Many friends gathered to express their sym pathy w ith the parents and near rela tives. Baby John will be missed by those who knew him, but he has gone to'a better world than-this and we could not wish him back again As death is not the end of existence, but only the beginning of a greater life, we may hope to meet again. I shall know the lovetl who have gone before, •Mi<l joyfully sweet will the meeting be Over th« river, the peaceful river. The Angel of Death will carry me. By the dailies of Tuesday we see that Charles Tandy, who used to buy hops here some two years since for shipment to Seattle, was killed in a wreck Monday in Alberta, Canada. Peter Jacoby has bought the prop erty in west Aurora owned formerly by Jess Hedgecock, Jr., and will move here with his wife and daughter the latter part ot February to make his future home. The Jacobys have many friends who are glad to know that they are not going to leave the coun ty.—Aurora Republican. Mr. Win. Stehr, Jr., who had been here for the past four months at the bedside of his father, returned to his home in San Francisco Monday morn ing. Mr. Stehr has been a resident of San Francisco for the past seven years and was in the great earthquake which ravaged that city. He was rooming in a four-storv building at the time of the quake, being on the fourth floor, and precipitated to the bottom unharmed when the building crumbled, while a large uuraber on the lower floors were eithc r killed or badly maimed in the fearful disaster. His account of the earthquake is most thrilling. Rev. Wm. B, Montgomery of Wil liamsburg, Iowa, who has received a call to the Presbyterian church of this city, was present last Sunday and delivered two very able discourses, morning and evening, creating a most favorable impression upon the mem bership and attendants at that nouse of worship. He left for his home Monday morning, leaving the impres sion that he might accept the call, after consultation with his home con gregation. It is to be hoped he may conclude to come to us, as he appears to be just the man the congregation in its unanimous opinion feels is the man to carry forward the work here. He is a married man, of a family of wife and two daughters, one just graduating from college and the youngest just in her teens. Mrs. (i. W. Collipriest received a telegram Sunday that her father was seriously ill and on Monday afternoon with her children left for Oklahoma for his bedside. She had intended to wait oefore going to their new home at Pryor Creek, Okl., till Mr. Colli priest was ready to go, but the news of her father's condition decided her to go immediately. Mr. Collipriest will follow with his household goods and a number of head of cattle and horses iust as soon as he is relieved from his duties as agent of the Union Pacific at this point, which w ill be some time this month. The resignation of George Collipriest from the station at this point takes away from us one of the finest and most accommodating agents in the employ of the road anywheret we are willing to venture, and most assuredly one of the most satisfactory ever in Loup City, and our people with one accord, while they will miss his genial presence and most accomo dating business like ways, will wish for him, his estimable wife and sweet little children all the prosperity and happiness that may be allotted to them, and their success in all ways will be hailed with pleasure by their legion of friends made during their stay in our city, Miss Bird Rood of North Loup has taken a position with the Times. Evangelist Bromley's wife is re ported on the sick list. Miss Liz/.je Dinsdale of Palmer re turned home Monday after a few days’ visit with Mrs. Jas. Johansen. Mrs. Edgar Draper and children returned Friday evening from a visit with relatives at Central City and Hordville. M. R. Youngquest lost a valuaple horse New Year’s Eve—the third this winter. Not a very desirable New Year’s pre sent, is it? Rev. Humble and wife evangelists, are assisting in tins revival meetings here tins week, on their way to hold a series of meetings at Waco. The government thermometer at Hayhursfs registered 14 below Tues j day night and 13 below last night, tl I lowest in two years. Eight below i was tile coldest this winter preced ing Tuesday. Pastor I). W. J ames of the Baptist church has lately been at Horace. Neb., conducting revival services. He reports an exceedingly good time, thirty-two having been added to the church. He was at Horace again last Sunday to preach for that church and keep the work going. His father, Joseph James, will go up there on Saturday of this week to be with them over Sunday.

E. church great interest is being shown in the series of meet ings held by Rev. Bromley, the evan gelist. He is proving himself all and more than we expected, clear in his teaching, persuasive in his entreaties, showing great tact in presenting the Gospel truths until all must say 'tis a wonderful salvation which is for mankind. Many are surrendering to these appeals and are becoming fol lowers of Jesus Christ. The chorus, under the leadership of Bro. Spell, with Sister Spell at the piano, Max Jeffords, violinist: Bro. Smith and Rev. Chaffin, cornetists: render those gospel songs in a way that inspires hearts to nobler activity. Last. Sun day was a great day, some surrender ing at each service. In the afternoon Bro. Bromley gave his lecture to men only, as was advertised. The audi torium was filled and for nearly two hours he held the attention of the entire audience. Many words of praise are heard from our business men. He will give his second lecture to men only, which, however, includes all the boys as well, next Sunday at 2:30. Don't fail to hear him. Meetings] every day at 2:30 and at 7:30, to which j all are invited. Such an opportunity does not come to us often. Come.
