He reports having had the time of his life. Word was received here that Airs. W. C. Mulick’s father died at his home at Chester, Jowa, last Friday morning at 3 o’clock after a lingering illness and the body was taken to Albert Lee. Minn., for burial on Monday. The many friends of Mrs. Mulick will sympathize with her in her sorrow. Last Thursday afternoon, while Harry Taylor was engaged in handling the mules on the farm of L. N.

He was accom panied by Mrs. Engle and they were guests at the home of their uncle, A. L. Zimmerman. While Will is quite feeble, lie is gaining strength and health as rapidlv as circumstances will allow. Unveiling Ceremonies. One of the most memorable occa sions that lias ever occurred in the history of the Loup City schools was the unveiling ceremony of the statue of Lincoln yesterday forenoon. The exercises were to have been field on l the centenary birthday celebration. | but because of blockaded roads the statue was not received till a week later. The statue, a :it>-inch bust it bronze finish, modeled from the cele brated bust by St. Gandins. was pre sented to the school by the senior * class in a most appropriate address b\ j Christian Sorensen. He spoke of the i attendance of the class in the high j school during the past four years, of 1 the great value the school lias been to them in molding their characters and preparing them for the trials and duties of life, and as a token of their appreciation and the wish that the j class might be remembered in future ! years, they wished to present this j statue Mr. Pedler on behalf of the school board made the acceptance ad- j dre- paying a glowing tribute to the class for their thoughtful, timely and appropriate gift. He spoke feelingly j of the many virtues of -the "Greatest of All Americans." and felt sure that i all future classes and pupils looking j on the kindly and noble features would be inspired to a loftier concep tion of lire and higher ideals of citi zenship. The unveilinsr address by Mr. Nightingale was one of ihe finest tributes to Lincoln ever beard in Loup City. His theme was the large ness of the man—his great physical strength always exercised to help the weak: his magnificent intellectual powers that made him the foremost! >tatesmanin the world in his day and : which brought the Nation safely i through the terrible Civil War: his boundless sympathy that reached to j the highest, but above all enfolded the lowly in his great and loving heart. His application tc school life j was that while al! could not lie as great as he, all could by emulating' his virtues and following his noble ex ample. approach measurably near the loftiest ideal of manhood the world lias ever produced. These, with the invocation by Rev. Hawk, and the prayer and benediction by Rev. Mont gomery. all make Feb. 24.1boy. a mem orable day in our educational history. School Notes. Mi. Young wishes 13 tliank Mrs. j A. 1!. Outhouse for the Washington badges she gave to his pupils.

Mr. Young now has 54 enrolled and finds every moment of his time occupied. Clarice Haggart of St. Paul, sister of Miss Haggart. our assistant prin cipal. visited the fcigh school Monday. The chapel period has been changed to 10:30 a. m., so that the pupils might have a rest during the fore noon work, and give patrons a more convenient time to come. Supt. O'Connell shows thouglitfulnessin his every act and is surelv appreciated bv all. A new feature of chapel exercises is a reading or recitation by a junior each morning. The normal clacs received their grades in reading from the state, the lowest being 85 percent and the high est was 90 per cent received by Flora Oldsen. This is the highest grade so it is said, that the state will give. Who says Supt. O'Connell cannot teach? The 11th grade took the state ex amination in geometry Friday.
