The Northwestern is pleased to
note this week the splendid record in
his studies of one of Loup City's
young men. Mr. O. L. Swanson, who
is at Creighton College. Omaha, per
fecting himself as a pharmacist. He
completed the junior course of six
months on the 26th of February last,
credited ‘.hi to 100 per cent in eight of
the ten studies he is taking, and 80 to
90 per cent in the remaining two.
He has five months yet before finish
ing. Stand up for the Loup City boys.
Monday afternoon of this week a
merry row occurred in the Felix
Makowski store, in which some five
or six belligerent Polanders engaged.
Sot being able to twist our tongue
around unpronounceable Polish, we

engaged, but understand the matter
was be settled in Judge Pedler's court
yesterday by the starter of the trouble
paying $5 and costs and signing an i
agreement to be good hereafter. The
social meeting was broken up before
the arrival of the peace officers by
Felix throwing the gang out the door.
County Assessor Bechthold will call

It is not necessary to say that this
is not the best season of the year for
lathing in the river, yet we under
stand that Ashley Conger took an
impromptu plunge one day last week
into the Loup south of town, which
was not only a chilly experience, but
came nearly proving disastrous. A
number of our boys were camping on
the island in the river, crossing over
the stream by means of a cable and
pulley. In attempting to cross, Ash
ley. with a boat load of decoy ducks
and provisions, succeeded in reach
ing the center of the channel, when
all at once there was a hitch in the
pesky apparatus leaving the boat
stuck and violent!* plunging with the
waves, resulting in the man, decoys,
etc., being dumped into the icy cur
rent. Ashley’s manly form being
impeded with waders, which tilled
w itli water, made swimming practical
ly impossible and he only succeeded
in keeping with the current and with
nose out till a bend below the island
a .lowed him to reach shallow water
and report for duty. But all joking
aside, Ashley feels very thankful he
did not have to furnish material for
a first-class funeral.
Millinery Opening
The ladies of Loup City and vicin
ity are invited to attend the open
ing days. Friday and Saturday, March

Tuesday evening.
County Clerk Beushausen went to
Omaha last Friday morning to under
go an operation for rupture, and we
understand the operation was success
fully performed on Monday morning
of this week and the patient was
getting along finely since.
We are in receipt of a copy of last
week's Craig, (Neb.) Advertiser, which
gives G. W. Marvel, who is in the
mercantile business there, a tine
write-up as a most progressive citizen
and business man. And George is
well worthy of the best the Advertiser
can say of him and his splendid family.
St. Patrick's day, yesterday, proved
a repetition of Monday and Tuesday
in gore, and while Monday was Polish
day and Tuesday German day in bad

arrests being made in each instance
and the school fund increased in con

The editor is pleased to announce
the marriage last week at Jefferson,
Iowa, of Miss Hazel Bridgeford to
Mr. Cleve Barr of the same city.
Mrs. Barr will be remembered by
many of the young people of our city
as visiting here a few days last spring
with her sister. Mrs. J. W. Burleigh.
Our best wishes follow these worthy
young people.
The Polish hot air of Monday
afternoon in the Makowski store
seemed to waft its uncanny breath
over into the following day, innocu
lating two of our German citizens,
who met in an alley and introduced
themselves to each other in true
pugilistic style, one retiring from the
ring with a badly battered facial ex
pression. It is hoped this style of
amusement may not become chronic
in our city.
E. A. Brown will not be the deputy
assessor for Loup City township, but

Bro. Brow n’s reason for not accept

where he has bought an interest in a

The opening days at Miss Hattie
Froehlich’s millinery parlors last Fri
day and Saturday were more than
satisfactory to that lady and many of
her most elegant hats and bonnets
were sold to the great throng that in
vaded her parlors on those days. Miss
Froehlich this season has certainly
the most up-to-date styles in these
fashionable appointments ever in the
city and is to be congratulated on the
most snccessful outcome of her open
ing days of the season.
Rev. Max A. Jeffords of Loup City
drove over to Ord yesterday forenoon
and in the evening went on up to
Rosevale, where he will he nastor in

his first preaching service at Rosevale
Sunday and Monday following the
quarterly conference will be held.
This is not the regular date for
preaching at Rosevale but this will
be the date this clip and then dates
for the other charges in the circuit
will be agreed upon.—Ord Quiz.

W. D. Zimmerman's old office build
ing four doors north of the North
western office, is being overhauled
for Mrs. H. M. Mathew's new store.
Mrs. Mathew left Monday morning
for Omaha and Chicago for a tine new ,
stock of ladies' furnishing goods. We
understand the store will be open and j
ready for business in about ten days. |
It not always the tryos in any art
that become victims of their own
amusement, as even the professionals]
run up atiainst the real thing once in
a while. Last Saturday when two of
our mast excellent sportsmen went
out after ducks and by purest ac
cidental carelessness one of them got
close in range of the other's gun and
the doctor later picked numerous bird
shot out of his face, arm and hand
nearest thereto. While no serious
results came from it all, yet the two
sportsmen got the scare of their lives,
and one came within an ace of losing
the sight of one eye.
There has been quite a change in
the trains on the U. P. the past few
days, which causes strenuous times
for Conductor Taylor, who is thus i
compelled to make two round trips to
St. Paul each week day. The motor
has been taken off the branch, as an
experiment, much to the satisfaction
of the patrons of the road, and it is
to be hoped it is off permanently.
The train schedule is as follows: Out
going at 7:lo a m. and 12:10 p. m.,
and incoming at 11:30 a. m. and 5:55
p. in. We give the above information
gratis for the benefit of patrons of
the road, the corporation being blessed
with an economic turn which pre
vents them advertising their train
schedules.
We are highly pleased over the in
tense interest taken by our people in
the protracted meetings being held
at the Presbyterian church in which
the pastors of the Baptist and Metho
dist churches are taking active part
and the people as a whole are show
ing most deep feeling. Sunday even
ing being a union of all the services
in the city, the auditorium and ad
joining rooms of the building were
packed with an audience that tilled
every available portion of the house
; and many were compelled to stand.
Not the least, but in fact one of the
greatest drawing cards is the sweet
[singing of Mr. and Mrs. Burt Mc
Kinnie, who have control of the
music and have thrown themselves
heart and soul in the work; not only
leading the chorus, but rendering
nightly solos and duets of the highest
order, such as only these talented
: musicians are able to give. The ser
mons by Rev. Montgomery are also
highly commended, while to his aid
I comes the earnest, enthusiastic and
cjnsistent Christian endeavor of the
other ministers and the workers of
all the churches, which can only re
; suit in great good to our city and its
people. The meetings are held each
evening of this week, except Satur
day night, and you are cordially ln
1 vited to attend.
We have just received our new line of
Spring Ginghams, Percales, Dress Cambric,
Dress Muslins in Colors
And a new line of linen colored Calicos, also the
