I Fifteen years ago Monday was the | big hail, wind and rain storm in Loup City, the history of which is quite vivid to those who were here at the time We do not know, however, if it were a fact that the water was so deep on the main streets that it would float a steamboat, but it was mighty .much water—a veritable cloud burst. Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Mellor came up from Lincoln accompanying Rev. I>r. and Mrs. Roach to attend the Com mencement.

There is a movement on foot to erect a hand stand in ti e court house square. The idea is to build the -land of cement and figuring is being done on the cost of same. Loup City has by far the best hand it has ever had. and it is due the boys to provide a tine hand stand for their accommodation. One tiling can he said of our present band which is highly commendable and that is that it isJohnny on the Spot, ready to render first class music to our people at any and all times gratis if req uested and the toys are glad to do so. Our people should meet the boys, who are composed of our best business men and boys, half ways in all their efforts to sustain a band our citizens are proud of. and we should open our financial hearts to render all the assistance possible to make it a per manent factor in our city. Ry all means let a substantial band stand be erected where the boys may dis course sweet music these long sum mer evenings.without standing about on weary legs or have to carry chairs from the court house to sit in. They are deserving of the best the city can afford The fourth annual Alumni Recep tion of the Loup City High School was held last Saturday evening. June 3rd. at the A. L.

Last week the Nortwestern again added another quire to its bundle of ready prints and iiad only two papers left over. The Northwestern may or may not have the most names on its s. hscription lis of any paper in this county, but one thing is sure, that every reader on the list is a bona tide subscriber, not people who have been placed there without their knowledge or consent, have no dead heats, and only the very best and most substantial citizenship instead. The other kind we do not have nor want. Last Friday evening, at Cedar Rapids. Iowa, while Mr. F. M. Henry of this city was attempting to make a change of cars in that city, on his way home from his Iowa trip, he stu'mblea over the tongue of a bag gage truck on the dimly lighted plat form. sustaining a very severe sprain of vine of his limbs. He however made the trip on home, arriving Saturday evening and was taken in a carriage to his home, where he will probablv be laid up for a fortnight with that injured member. It is fortunate he escaped with less than a fractured leg.
