We received too £te for last week the following interesting item: “Last Tuesday, Feb. 8th. being the 13th birthday anniversary of Miss Carrie Kay. eighteen of her schoolmates surprised by calling in the evening and giving her a party.

When a man takes a musical instru ment into his home he is uncon sciously taking the most effective weapon yet devised, with which to drive discord out of the house. More pianos mean less divorces. More song in the home means fewer scraps. Sing and play more and we will fight less. Music is a power for good that we are apt to overlook in our estimate of our worldly assets. Hear the Va: sar girls at the opera house, Satur day evening, Feb. 19th. Last Thursday morning. Herman Jung went to the Methodist hospital at Omaha, for an operation for hernia, which he submitted to later. Mon day evening ids wife here received a telegram stating lie was in a danger ous condition and left on the motor for ids bedside, as stated in another item.

Last evening Mrs. Thomp son and Miss Miller returned home, leaving Mr. Jung on the road to re covery, but Mrs. Jung and daughter will remain till further marked im provement in Mr. Jung's condition.

Postmaster Grow went down to Omaha last Saturday morning and returned Tuesday of this week, feel ing. as he says, finer than a fiddle. He went down to consult medical authority on his recent severe stom ach troubles, and found acute in digestion the diagnosis, receiving a treatment in medicine which lias a splendid effect so far. It is to be hoped he may have no recurrence of his past ill-health. Elmer Rabeock was in to see us last week and remembered us in his usual satisfactory manner. Elmer is now foot loose, having disposed of his farm in Clay township and all his belongings saye, as he says, the wife and children, who comprise a fortune in themselves, and expects to leave for Lincoln some time about the middle of March.

We take the following item from one of the Lincoln papers: ‘‘Miss Esther Musser of this city and W. A. Brown of University Place enter tained in honor of twelve of their Loup City, Neb., young friends who are attending school here, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. II. B.

The Woman,s Unity Club deserves all the applause that can be given for obtaining the highest priced attrac tion in the lecture course, the Eight Vassar girls. The Nebraska Lyceum Bureau were only able to sign them for ten dates an^ Loup City gets them for one night, Saturday, Feb. 19th. People from neighboring towns have signified their intention of being here on that date to hear music and singing, which but for the commend able efforts of our women would or dinarily be booked in such cities as Omaha, etc. Monday evening of this week, Mrs. Herman Jnng having received a tele gram from Omaha that Mr. Jung was very low from his recent operation for hernia in the M. E. hospital there.! and that his death was but a ques tion of a very short time, she hired the motor on the U. P. and together with her little daughter, niece. Miss Bertha Miller, and accompanied by Mrs. B. M. Thompson, made the trip from here to Grand Island in 60 min utes, a distance of 52 miles, and in time to catch the evening train for Omaha. In our issue of Feb. 3rd, the route notes contained an item in regard to some thief entering the Wiggle Creek school house on the night of Monday, Jan. 31st, or the morning of Feb. 1st, stealing all the knives, pencils, etc., therein. On Tuesday afternoon of this week, Mr. Geo. Stone, who lives a short distance from said school house, was in our office and stated that on the morning of the robbery a young fellow came to his house, re maining there till the morning of the 10th, when he decamped before Mr. Stone and family were up. and after his departure it was found he had stolen a twenty-dollar bill and a new revolver. The gentleman traced the thief westward and followed him to Litchfield, but the fellow skipped as soon as he found Mr. Stone in the village and all trace of him was lost. Mr. Stone says he did not hear of the robbery at the school house till after the robbery at his own home, and if he had, the fellow would have been arrested as at the time he arrived at Mr. Stone's home he had a collec tion of knives, pencils, etc., and the family were suspicious of him. but when he arrived that morning he c aimed he had just come from Loup City, staying at a hotel here, but left town very e:rly. If parties interest ed wish, Mr. Stone will give a des cription of the fellow and would be glad to assist in an earnest effort to get him in the clutches of the law. Wonder if this was the same party who broke the door of Frank Dietz’ mail box. as mentioned in the route notes this week? The only Valentine party so far heard from among' our people was at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Pinckney in Webster township last Tuesday evening and a most en joyable time is reported. Ray Gardiner of the Times, who called to Ainsworth last Thursday by ! the death of his brother-in-law. Geo. O.

Feb. 19th, of hearing the Eight Vassar Girls. They are most versatile and brilliant per formers on many different and diffi cult instruments. Do not miss it. A provoking error, and all the printer's fault, occurred in the bill of Frank Diet/.’ sale, which is to be field tomorrow, the 18th instant, in which his farm was given as two miles EAST, instead of two miles WEST, arid four miles south of Loup City. Remember the sale is “Four miles SOUTH and two miles WEST" of Loup City, tomorrow (Friday). Rro. Joseph .lames was made happy last Friday noon by the arrival home j of Mrs. .lames from Denver, where she had been with their son. Pastor D. W. James of the Baptist church j here, during the past months of his' his illness, and we are glad to record at this time that the young man is j now recovering his health and there J exists no doubt of his ultimate re-1 covery, the state of which is so much j improved the faithful and loving mother could be spared to return to! tlic home and good husband who has without a murmur passed through the weary time and anxious, lone days of loneliness, while the son of his heart and the wife of his ad vanced years were kept in the long distance by the serious and at times considered most dangerous illness of their boy. It is one year ago this month since Pastor James was strick en and during which time lie has had to suffer at least two operations in i the effort to save iiis life, besides! suffering days, weeks and months of pain and untold physical suffering. Surely our young friend has bad meted out to him more than one man’s share of trouble, and w e sin cerely trust that from now on he may live in sunshine and happiness and well physical being. The wrestling match at Society hall, Tuesday afternoon, between Thiesen of this city and McGregor of Sargent, proved one of the most interesting sporting events pulled off in this city at any time. About 125 were present and there was not a dull: moment from start to finish. The mon were very evenly matched, it taking McGregor 42 minutes to lay the wily' Dane upon his back, winning the first fall. After a short rest, time was ea.ted and the Scotchman anh Dane mixed quickly, only eight minutes being taken by the shifty Dane in returning the compliment and pinning the plucky Scotch lad to the mat. Honors being even, excit ment waxed hot for the final, which came too quickly] to allow those pres ent to get their second breath, and in less than five minutes of lightning like work, in which each several times seemed on the eve of winning, the wrestlers rolled off the east part of the mat. the Dane under and Referee Wallace gave the fall to McGregor, against the earnest protest of the Dane and his friends, who insisted they were clear of the mat. while the referee contended they were half on and half off the mat, and refused to change his decision. In the personnel of the wrestlers, the Dane was per ceptibly taller than McGregor, much quicker and more scieneed, but the plucky little Scotch lad was mucn the stronger and kept his head cooler throughout, his winning the first fall at the time being due to the fact that he caught the Dane napping for the moment. The contest w as clean and pleasant thtoughout. and was as pretty a display of strength, scieme. grit and strenuous work on the mat as one will see in a lifetime.
