Last week Wednesday, while Romeo Conner of Webster township, was en i gaged in doing some work in his hog lot, he was attacked by a vicious boar, which approached from behind and ere lie was aware of it the animal had set its tusks in his right leg cutting a gash some six inches long and sever ing an artery, from which lie nearly bled to death, before he could get I medical aid. When the boar attacked | him, he managed to get away and j over the fence, before the wound had i caused the loss of much blood, but before his wife could secure the ser j vices of a physician he had fainted : from its loss and the seriousness of : the wound. However, a rugged con . stitution served him in good stead and at present he is recovering nicely and is able to get around on crutches, though it will be some time before lie will be able to do much manual labor.

Della Locke as “The Girl,” Will H. Locke as “The Gawk” and Henry W. Locke as “Colonel Strong" the Kentuckian, are true characters artistically rendered. The scenery is handsome and ap propriate and the entire company is unusually strong. This company will be at Pilger's opera house, Thursday. Feb. 4. Don’t fail to see them. The many friends of Miss Kitty Erskine and Ed. L. Brown, so well known to our people, and especially to the mercantile interests of our city will be interested to know that these estimab e young people were married in Los Angeles, Calif., on the 20th instant. Miss Erskine has been a traveling saleswoman in this territory ever since the death of her father some years ago. and Mr. Brown has also been making this territory as a traveling man for years. Although only having a slight acquaintance with both parties, yet the North weitern unites with their legion of warm friends in wishing for them the best of happiness this life affords along conjual lihes. Our people were highly favored at the Presbythrian church last Sunday, morning and evening, by two splendid lecturesfrom JohnG. Iliff, a professor in the Grand Island Baptist college. In the morning he spoke on “What is Civilization,” and his mode of speech, mannerisms and delivery at once proclaimed him an orator of no mean ability and his summing up gave forth in no uncertain tones his faith in the Divine as the great power to up lift humanity into a better life. In the evening, the Baptist friends united with the Presbyterian con gregation in giving Mr. Iliff a splen did audience, his subject being “What the Parrot Said,” the lecture while no one but the speaker was aware of the trend of thought in advance of its delivery, being on the temperance order, and his quaint, humorous and unobtrusive originality was heartily enjoyed by all as well as the bright, witty and pointed sayings, all bearing the brand of undeniable truth. Co Hear “The Deacon.” This week Friday evening will be given a comedy drama at the opera house, by home talent, for the benefit of our schools, the prime object of which is to raise funds to purchase a piano for the same. The play is en titled “The Deacon," and is high class, moral and in every way en titled to the support of every man. woman and child who loves a good entertainment and wishes to assist ii securing for our city schools tlia which will build up and elevate it ii music. We do not belong to tin narrow-minded class who will decn j the stage under all circumstances ami | deride any movement that uses foi its up-build the drama and its stagi settings. From a reading of tin comedy drama above mentioned wi believe it to be entirely fitting for presentation before any audience and the further fact that it is to be given by our home young people and for tl e benefit of our public schools, the Northwestern urges our people with out exception to give it their best patronage and we trust the opera house will be crowded to its utmost capacity, as we have no doubt it will, and thus, besides enjoying a splendid play, lend of their time and money to I purchase a piano for the schools. “The Girl and the Gawk The Lockes will offer at, the opera house. Thursday night, Feb. 4. the ; sensation of the present theatrical" season. ‘'The Girl and the Gawk," by Will H. Locke. A play of contem porary life in America which has won an uneuding showerof golden encomi ums from the press and public. The play is in four acts and the subject matter treats of incidents in the lives of everyday folks. “The Girl and the Gawk’’ is a play of gripping qual ities and those who see it are its most enthusiastic advance agents. It is a play no man or woman can afford to miss. You will like it and you can't help. Wagner-Thomas Concert One of the best concerts ever given in Loup City by the Charles Petersen Concert Co., took place at the Pres byterian church last Wednesday even ing, Jan. doth, and the artists were greeted by an enthusiastic audience. Madam Wagner Thomas, the star of the occasion, won the audience from the start. She sang some operatic; selections with power and brilliancy and created a profound impression with the “Ave Maria" by Mascagni, and had to respond to several encores. Miss Elizabeth Leininger of this city was one of the soloists on the pro gram. She possesses a sweet, pure soprana voice of considerable range and sings with expression and sin cerity, and her numbers were re demanded. Miss Leininger is a pupil of Prof. Charles Petersen, the well known Omaha vocal teacher, having studied with him for two years, and it is her intention to make singing her life work. She will open a studio in this city on her return this spring. Mrs. W. F. Mason kindly assisted on the program with a recitation, “The Doctor of the Old School", and dis tinguished herself as an elocutionist of rare ability. The accompaniments were played most smypathetically by Prof. Charles Petersen, who shared the honors with the vocalists in the numerous recalls. Death of Mrs. Hinman. The Northwestern regrets to record that Harry Ilinman’s good mother died at the hospital at Columbus, j Neb., last Thursday morning from an acute attack of inflammation of the bowels. Mrs. Hinman was taken ill Tuesday evening and her case be coming serious she was taken to the hospital where she passed away ! as noted above. Harry was notified of his mother's illness Tuesday night and the next morning received word j that she was better and again at 5 o’clock Thursday morning was called up by long distance phone and told to come at once to her bedside and left on tire motor, but not till he reached Columbus at 3 o’clock did he know that his mother had passed away at 8 o’clock that morning, and the family were at the depot ready to take the loved Iform home. Mrs. Harry Hin man and Miss Gertrude Lundy left that afternoon to attend the funeral at St. Edwards on Sunday morning. Mrs. Hinman. Sr., was quite well known here, where she had visited several times with her son and family, and made a large number of friends who will sincerely mourn over her untimely death. A Substitute For Matrimony “Successful business girls and wom en,” says Mrs. Anna Steese Richard son in Woman's Home Companion for February, “are too well off financially to want to marry. “The girl who earns twelve, fifteen or twenty dollars a week sets for herself a standard of living, dress and small luxuries which would require a husband earning twenty-five, thirty and fifty dollars respectively. She regards as necessities what her mother considered luxuries. If a man who is earning only as much as the girl or a few dollars more a week asks her to marry him, he knows that the girl must either deprive herself of some things she has grown to regard as necessities or she must continue to work. And there is many a home hungry young man today too proud to allow his wife to work. “Through agitation and her own. honest effort at desk, counter and loom, woman is rapidly nearing the goal of equality in work and wages with men. Her services are worth today as much as those of the man who might marry her^-if her services were worth less.” Bargain Counter a Don't fall to come and see what we have in Dress Goods on this Conn ter.
