The lecture last Friday evening by Newton Wesley Gaines, who was here under the auspices of the Unity club| in its Lyceum course, was a very fine one and enthusiastically spoken of by those in attendance. Unfortunately, the weather was very disrgreeable, preventing a large audience greeting the lecturer. Mr. Geo. Cramer of Kanorado, Kas., a brother-in-law of E. W.

Mr. Cramer has retired from active business life with a goodly competence and has decided to make this his future home. Quite a good deal over afoot of snow fell last Friday and Sunday and Monday of this week and lies like a white blanket over the country. The snow will prove a great blessing to the soil, but rather strenuous for the farmers, a great majority of whom in this section have not yet entered their corn fields to gather the crop, or if they have are only fairly started. Mr. Daniel Gooden and family ar rived from Otterbein, Ind., are among the new people to come to Loup City and reside in the Mike Chilewski property near the old pumping station' Mr. Gooden expects to either buy or rent a farm in the spring. The Northwestern extends the glad hand to this worthy family and wish them success in the best county in Ne braska.

A letter received a few days since from Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Wilson, at Mountain Home, Idaho, requesting the Northwestern forwarded to Saw telle, Calif., says they are having a tine time in the mountains and that they were to leave in a few days for San Francisco, where they would te till the 25th and then on to Los An geles and thence to Sawtelle.

Dislocates Shoulder While County Attorney Mathew was riding a horse last Thursday noon over the wet cement crossing at the First National bank corner, the animal slipped and fell, Mr. Mathew receiving a dislocated shoulder and other bruises, which will place him on the invalid list for some time. Thanksgiving Proclamation Next Thursday being Thanksgiving Day, and the Northwestern force desires to give up the entire day to thanksgiving and its appointments, the paper will be issued the evening previous, so our advertisers and pat rons generally will please hand in their favors not later than Wednes day morning. Fortunate Accident Last Saturday evening, about 7 o’clock, while Wm. Larsen of the Loup City Mercantile Co. was driv ing home, and when going over the crossing near the residence of A. L. Zimmerman, the seat slipped forward, throwing Mr. Larsen down on the tongue, catching one foot in the brace and throwing his body in front of the right wheel, in which predicament he was dragged a block before he could get his foot loose, the horses being on the dead run from the seat cushion striking them from behind. It was a fortunate affair from any point of view. As it is, besides a badly sprained right arm and a slight lame ness in his left leg, the gentleman is all right side up and ready for other experiences, more pleasant and easy than that mentioned above. Petty Thieving. From common complaint, there seems to be quite a good deal of petty larcency going on here of late. On the night of Nov. 2, a car on the B. & M. tracks was broken into and eight sacks of flour taken therefrom. A detective of the road was here later looking up the matter, but we are unable to give his findings, if any, but there seems to be little doubt but that he was thoroughly satisfied as to where the stuff went, and if the party or parties are not careful in their future operations, this transac tion may come up before them like Banquo’s ghost and will not down. Besides the flour episode, the com pany has been furnishing altogether too many people with coal the past few months to retain the corporation good humor, and that may prove a companion Banquo ghost in the future also. Besides the instances above named, complaints reach the public that workmen about town of necessity can not leave their tools lying about indiscriminately, when absent to their meals, but are com pelled to lock them up, if they wish to have them for future use. All this calls for an example or two of these petty thieves, as a salutary lesson to have due respect for other people’s property.
