We understand arrangements are being perfected for Decoration Day services, but we have not learned what the program is to be, save the one fact that Hon. John W. Long will deliver the address to our people on that occasion, but that one fea ture will be sufficient to enlist the interest of our people and cause a large turnout, as we have not a more vigorous speaker, nor more earnest, enthusiastic supporter of that great est day of all days in tiie history of this greatest of ail republics.

Wicksell gave his address, the North western was well pleased with the vigorous manner in which he gave the scriptures to his people, and the earnest and undivided attention of his hearers gave evidence of the depth of thought and clear enunciation of tiie Word of God given to them. Rev. Wicksell is a most pleasant gen tleman. well educated in ecclesiastical lore and will return here p^jfodically hereafter to hold services, notice of which will be given through the col umns of the Northwestern. _ The Northwestern calls attention this week to the big advertisement of tiie Hayhurst-Gallaway Hardware Cb. By their announcement it will be found tliat the price of Cream Separa tors has been cut practically in half to farmers. Heretofore th£ price of separators has been abnormal, costing in the neighborhood of $75. By their advertisement we see that they have one of the finest cream separators ever placed on the market, which will be delivered free on board cars at Loup City for $45.50. several dollars below the price of any placed before tiie public by any house in that line of business, to which would have to be added the freight on the same from the headquarters of any such company, thus giving purchasers of separators from Messrs. Hayhurst & Gallaway the benefit of not less than $10 to $15 over a machine not nearly so good, and besides have the guar-: antee of this splendid firm that this ■ is one of the very best and most satis factory of any before the public eye at the present time. Call in and see these fine separators, and our word for it, proof is ready to support the contention that there never has been a finer separator nor nearly so cheap in price as well as best in quality olfered to you anywhere or at any time. Last week Wednesday evening an empty box car standing on the side tracks in the U. P. yards here got tired of withstanding the buffetings of old Boreas and took French leave fcr the east. It transferred itself onto the main track and headed for St. Paul without asking any fool questions as to the right-of-way. and tried to keep ahead of the wind as it were. Reaching Rockville, it did not even whistle for slow-down, hut in creased its speed, passing through the yards at a raile-a-minute clip, according to advices from the opera tor, nor did it till it came to the suburbs of Boelus, where it seemed tc get that “tired feeling,” and hav ing beaten the wind too it came to a stop, making the 22 miles at a speed calculated to make the Overland Motor ill with envy. Another item of interest in connection with this engineerless, condOctorless, wind jamming, enterprising box car jaunt is the fact that to the best of 'the belief of those who are in a position to know, is that at least three Weary Willies, who had ensconsed them selves in the no-scheduled affair, were therein at the time of the almost areoplane flight, and therefore got a free ride not anticipated nor anxious ly sought for, but if so did not stop to give a history of it. Anyway, the Willies were here before, were not here after it was over, and were seen to take sleeping accommodations in. the car previous to its involuntary trip.
