Daddow Sunday, also Roland and Cecil Goodwin. The Wiggle Creek church was reno vated last week but the job is not satisfactory to the members. Spring has begun so we farmers mustspring around and tear theearth up and sow the seed, and remember ‘•as we sow so shall we reap.” That is just as true of our earthly doings as our spiritual doings. The Wiggle Creek school is in good running order now since the mumps has disappeared and the teacher is back from Missouri where she had been called by- the death of her mother. She offered to make up part of the lost time on Saturdays, so the larger boys who have to stay outafter spring work begins could attend, hut tlie board thought best not to. We understand a new steel bridge is to be built across the river south of Loup City. Good! we need it bad enough. Would it not lie wise to grade in from the north side about 100 feet and save that much steel bridge, which would give a nice job to laboring men and keep some of the money at home. If this would make the channel too narrow an arch or two could be put in the cement part to let the water through when the riyer is high. The worst storm of the season oc curred last Saturday evening It started south of the' Wiggle Creek church and moved northward, gaining in velocity till it seemed to center at the residence of John Peugli at about 9 o’clock. It not only rained, but it poured, and Russell Curry who was spending the evening there, and Miss Gladys Peugli received the bulk of it. It rained napkins, pans, plates, salt and pepper shakers, towel rack and numerous other articles, also socks, socks, socks—from the size that would fit Bill Taft down to the tiny pairs with the red toes and heels. One little pair was every bit as red as the recipient’s faces. After a short calm it was quite turbulent till mid night and everybody seemed happy. Don Holmes shelled corn for Jas. McBeth Monday. He got a very late start on account of his best girl’s father forgetting to set the alarm for him to start home Sunday evening, and Don stayed too late, but he did a good job of shelling and got away in good season.

Office ’Phone, - - - 6 on 108 Residence ’Phone, - 2 on 108 % . .— J. W. BURLEIGH. Ed. imd Tub. For City Clerk. I hereby announce myself as a can didate for the office of City Clerk of Loup City, subject to the will of the voters at the city election to he held April 6th. 1909. G. VV. Htjntek. At the head of our editorial col umns this week. Judge G. W. Hunter announces his candidacy for the office of City Clerk for the ensuing fiscal year. It is unnecessary to state that if Judge Hunter is elected the office will tie faithfully and efficiently I clerked in the interest of the people as a whole. One week from next Tuesday, April fitli, occurs the coming city election. From the ambiguous notices posted by the superb city clerk on the sides of buildings about the city we find that a question of license or no license will come up for decision of the voters, but the said notice does not definitely state whether the ques tion of license is for horse-racing, crap-shooting, casting goo-goo eyes at the saloon or what not. Loup City is blessed with a mighty bright city clerk at present. Reports are coming to the state, veterinarian at Lincoln that horses are dying all over Nebraska. He j has investigated a number of these j reports ana has discovered that the ' cause is largely overfeeding. He says j that in many cases indulgent farmers ! are feeding alfalfa and shelled corn,; both very rich foods, and the in activity of the fat horses is resulting in their deaths, which is very sur-( urising to the owners because the animals appear to be in good flesh and feeling well up to the last few hours, j In another place in this issue will I be found the report of the W. C. T. I" convention which took place week! before last. A copy of the same was handed the Times with orders to transmit the copy to the Northwest ern the same week for publication,* but it was not done, and to favor the attendants on the convention, most if not all of whom are readers of the Northwestern, and who were desirous of its publication in this paper, we give space to the report this week. The W. C. T. U people express much just indignation over the lapse of memory of the Times management and will see hereafter that reports come directly to the Northwestern editorial table. The interest in the coming city election is fast gaining ground and should claim the earnest and united work of all to the end that best gov ernment in all its branches will re sult. As usual, the greatest question at issue will undoubtedly be that of saloon license or no saloon license. In this age of enlightenment the idea of saloons being necessary as a busi ness proposition and as town up builder is an exploded one and the Northwestern is heartily in favor of their abolishment and the establish ment of a "dry” town in every res pect. This was the stand taken by the Northwestern last year, which lost to it much support of those in terested in the saloon, but believing still that saloons are a wrong and menace to the best of government and harmful to all the people, the North western trusts the citizens of Loup City will vote them out by a good and satisfactory majority. Austin Happenin's. I). B.
