It is too bad Art Eisner could not
have had his camera turned on Henry
Miller and Taylor Gibson, Monday
evening, when we are told those
worthies were having an enjoyable
sprint over the prairies trying to
corral Henry's bovine, which was
practicing a mile a minute gait just
as a matter of warming up her pursu
ers and getting them in tune for the
protracted meetings in progress here.
Those who witnessed the scene said
it was the most enjoyable show of the
season, although the language be
stowed upon the critter would not
look the very prettiest in print.
We bad the pleasure of hearing
Evangelist Wagner at the Baptist
church Monday evening. Mr. Wagner
evinces an earnestness, push and
energy in the work, a devotedness to
the cause, and withal a directness of
language that while it borders on
something of the every day slang, yet
catches the mind and ear of his
hearers and can not but be productive
of good to the cause he advocates.
He is a pleasing speaker and his
audiences are growing larger with
each evening. Go and hear him at the
Baptist church each evening this
week. He may continue the meetings
next week also and possibly longer.
Next Sunday afternoon, Feb. 7tli.
at 2:30 o'clock. Bev. C. J. Pope of
Grand Island will give an address at
the Baptist church. Bev. Pope is
secretary of State Missions in Nebras
ka for the Baptist denomination, and
his address will be interesting and
instructive. The principal object of
the meeting is to raise the amount
deficient in paying for the improve
ments made in the church during the
summer. The sum is small but the
Baptist people have given all they
feel able to spare and as a number of
friends have expressed their desire to
assist, this opportunity will be given.
Special music will be rendered. You
are welcome.
Girl* Learn Trade Lessons.
Civic clubwomen in Philadelphia
have opened a school where girls may
learn dressmaking, millinery and oth
er things during the summer that

are very popular, young girls taking
advantage of the opportunities of
fered.
Maine's Largest Turtle.
The largest turtle ever seen in
Maine was captured recently by CapL
John Snowman, a Booth bay Harbor
fisherman, and is now on exhibition at
Squirrel island. Its weight is esti
mated at 1,500 pounds, and it is nine
feet long, five feel wide, while its
thickness of body is 34 inches. The
turtle 1b believed to be several hun
dred years old.
Naturalized on the Arm.
An Italian went to the civil service
commissioners’ rooms to be examined
for a laborer’s position. He answered
most of the questions correctly. Final
ly they asked him if he had ever been
naturalized. He seemed a bit puzzled,
but at last his face lighted up. "Ah,
I know whata you mean. Scratch* d»
arm. Yes, lasta wTeek.”
No Police in Heaven.
Small Isabel’s particular friend, the
policeman on the beat, contracted
pneumonia and died. Isabel was great
ly grieved until her mother convinced
her that he had gone to heaven. Even
then she was not quite reconciled.
“If heaven is such a good place,” re
marked the little skeptic, “I don’t se#
what God wants policemen there for!"
Bad Temper, Vulgar.
It’s bad for the spoiled favorite of
■ociety if she forgets to wear her ar
mor. One must never lose one's tem
per. “When a woman of much wealth
determines to be a leader in the social
whirl, she must be sure of her equi
poise,” says an authority. “Achieve
ment of social success is guaranteed
only by perfect self-control.”

The play, “The Deacon," by the
home talent company, was given to
a well filled house last Friday evening.
If the weather had been been favor
able all who desired do go could not
have secured seats. For this reason
the play will be given again in the
near future for the same purpose, to
add to the piano fund for the high
school. The net receipts were be
tween $45 and $50. As there will b<
but little expense the next time th.
fund should be increased to nearh
$100. “The Deacon" is a strong corned.'
drama full of humor an 1 human in
terest and carrying througho-it a 1i
tinct moral sentiment. Though th
short time for preparation and lat
changes in the cast of cl aracteis
forced the first presentation under
the most unfavorable conditions, the
members without exception acquitted
themselves in a very creditable
manner J. W. Conger as the deacon,
Newt. Vance as Wheeler, the villian.
Mrs. Pedler as Miss Amelia. Mrs.
Conger as Mrs. Thornton. Mrs. Vance
as the deserted wife and Ilobt. Jenner
as Pete, the “colored gemmun'’ are
especially strong. With a little more
practice to overcome a slight degree
of stage fright, to become a little
more letter perfect and to develop a
stro/iger voice all the members will
show a high order of histronic obility.
Loup City has reason to be proud
that its citizens have such talent.

formance and do not fail to attend. *
The First National bank of our city
will acquire a new office assistant
some time this week in the person of
Mr. O. E. Adams, who with his bride
of a few’ weeks, will live in one of the
Bert Charlton houses. Mr. Adams
has bought stock in this good old
bank and will supplement the present
working force owing to the retire
ment of W. F. Mason in the near
future. The responsibility of manage
ment will rest with Messrs. Ira E.
Williams, L. Hansen and Mr. Adams,
whi e F. R. Paist will remain as
book keeper and stenographer until
next fall when he expects to enter a
a school of pharmacy. Mr. Adams
has just resigned a lucrative position
in the First National bank of Shenan
doah. Iowa, in order to make a home
with our people and invest his money
in a good substantial bank. He was
with the First National bank of
Genoa. Neb., for several years and
learned the business under his uncle.
Mr. Green, who is president of that
bank, and comes very highly reccom
mended from his recent employers
and those who have known him from
boyhood. His father was one of the
unusually popular and successful
bankers at St. Edwards and Hooper,
Neb. Mrs. Adams is a Fremont lady
and we are glad to welcome this
young married couple to our little
city. Mr. and Mrs. Adams arrived
last evening.
Our people without exception, will
be pleased to learn that George W.
Collipriest. so long our most efficient
agent of the Union Pacific at this
place, returned from Oklahoma last
Thursday and will again resume his
labors at this station. Mr. Collipriest
had only reached his destination in
that southern countty, when lie as
suddenly concluded to return with
his family to Loup City, not liking
the country, and because of the fur
ther fact that the health of his wife
and babies promised to be poorly
there, hence his determination to re
turn here where he is unanimously a
favorite with all our people, and
especially with those having dealings
with his road. Mr. Collipriest will
not go to work till he and his family
are thoroughly settled in the Draper
cottage just south of the school house.
The Northwestern regrets to note
that Mr. Ira Timson on Tuesday re
moved with his family to Custer
eounty. where he has purchased a
farm of 160 acres some two miles
north and west of Sargent, where
they will make their future home.
SVhile we congratulate our friend on
securing a home of his own. yet their
host of friends can only wish he had
purchased here instead, where they
ire so well and favorably known. May
kind fortune follow them.
