Death of E. S. Hayhurst Our community was inexpressibly shocked last Thursday morning by the sad news of the death of our honored townsman, E. S. Hayhurst, at the hospital at Grand Island, fol lowing an operation on Tuesday for kidney trouble, where he had been taken Monday afternoon as a last re sort for a trouble that had been un dermining his health for many years, and which had reached that acute stage when an operation was unavoid able. Deceased had been sorely afflict ed for years, but no one had thought for a moment his case was so serious jntil the few days previous to his -udden demise. Some ten days be ore his death lie was stricken with severe pains, increasing in intensity, but borne with such heroic fortitude that only those nearest to him and constantly at his bedside realized the distressing and dangerous condition of his malady. The remains were brought home from the hospital at noon las Friday and were met at the depot by a large number of the Sir Knights of Pythias, of which order lie was a most faithful and beloved member, and with a concourse of business associates escorted to the home. Saturday afternoon the fu neral occurred from the M. E. church under the auspices of Marmion lodge K. of P.. and the Pythian Sisterhood of which Mr. Hayhurst, wife and daughter were charter members. The ' business houses of the city were all | closed as a mark of respect to their distinguished citizen. The church was inadequate to hold but a small percenage of the great throng present to do honor to deceased. Rev. Har per conducted the ceremonies, a cho sen choir sang favorite selections and the casket was buried in beautiful costly and expressive floral emblems, wreaths and mottoed designs. The services were made short but very impressive, and after the great num bers in and out of the church had taken a last farewell to their depart ed friend, associate, comrade and brother, the body was taken to our Silent City of the Dead, followed by the largest procession in the history of our city and after ritualistic cere monis by the K. of P. order was con signed to Mother Earth. Ezra Muith Hayhurst was bom in Catawissa, Penn a.". March 30, 1854. He was the oldest of a family of three boys and two girls: the sons and daughters of Dr. George R. and Mrs. Priscilla S. Hayhurst. On Nov. 7th, 1878. he was married to Miss Mattie E. Willits of Williamsport. Pa. To this union one child, Harriet H., was born. In 1880, he came to Loup City and engaged in the hardware busi ness. remaining a year and a half, when lie returned to Pennsylvania to bring iiis wife and child to their new borne. Here in tiie midst of the pioneer conditions which then exist ed. they cast their lot and have made their home to the present time. Mr. Hayhurst lias been an active and vigorous business man. not reaching success by hazardous speculations, but by careful and prudent business management. Such has been the confidence of the people in him tiiat many persons in discouragement or feeling the need of advice have sought iiis counsel and have placed delicate problems under his direction. In all tiie years he lias seemed to possess the best of health and in the time of iiis business life iias lost only about three days on account of sickness un til lie came to Iiis last illness. As a husband and fattier, lie was all that ideals of tender love and sympathy could desire. Even in the midst of intense suffering of tiie Tecent days, tie was continuously solicitous for tiie comfort or the wife and daugh ter. He became a member of the or der of knights of Pythias on March it, l!*w, and was made chancellor commander sit 1903. and it is said by iiis brethren that he gave much at tention to the promotion of harmony within and to the exhibition of the charitable principles of Pythianism. He was made president of the State Hardware Dealer*' Association in the year laou. and was tiie following year state reoresentative of the associa tion to the National convention of hardware men and was one of the leading authorities of that associa tion. He died on Thursday, June 29, 1911. aged 57 years. 2 months and 29 days, in iiis deatli tiie town has lost one of its best citizens and the fami ly the tenderest love of husband and father. There remains to mourn, the wife and daughter, a brother, Charles Hayhurst of Woodward. Okl., and a sister. Mrs. E. S. Fuller of Arcadia. card of thanks We desire to return our heartfelt thanks to all those dear friends who ministered to our loved one in Iiis ill ness and gave of their help, sympa thy and kindness subsequently. May an'All-Wise Providence bless them is our pra.ver. Sirs. Mattie E. Hayhurst. Harriet H. Hayhurst. RESOLUTIONS IN MKMORIAM The death of Brother Ezra S. Hay hurst is a great blow to the people of Loup City and Sherman county and to Marmion Lodge, No. 111. Knights of Pythias. It was no ordinary life that so suddenly came to its close on that beautiful June morning. He had become one of our most trusted, hon ored and respected citizens, whose business acumen was recognized as extraordinary by his brother mer chants all over the state, and whose advice and counsel was eagerly sought: a man of unusual courage in defence of what he believed to be right, he might for a moment have differed w ith others, yet only for the public welfare. No taint of gain had ever touched his hand: no surrender of principle ever marred his life. He had the essential elements In his character of success, energy, indus try, honesty, knightly honor, bravery and patriotism. His life was one tilled with effort and usefulness until death overtook him, his work ended and his earthly pilgrimage o'er. His career for thirty-one years in our midst furnishes our young men a beautiful and shining example of one who. chosing his life work, followed it with unwavering and tireless devo tion. and reached success as a result of industry and honest effort. His life concluded, w hen according to hu man wisdom it seemed so necessary he should linger with his loved ones among the walks of men. Marmion Lodge. No. Ill, Knights of Pythias, had much cause to love Brother Hay hurst. and only those of us who know the full meaning of the mystic chain l that binds us together in the ties of friendship and brotherly love can ful ly appreciate the beauty, grandeur and nobility of his life and cbarcter, and how faithfully he exemplified, in his own life, the great principles of friendship, charity and benevolence, which we teach; therefore, Resolved, That in the death of Brother Ezra S. Hay hurst, Pythian ism has lost from its ranks a man who typified in his own life the cher ished principles of our Order. Resolved, That we recognise and commend the unselfish and generous LOOP CITY CEMENT BLOCK COI 'ANY Is now open for the Spring Trade See Us for Solid Copcfete Work Sidewalks, Floors, Etc.

They wHl go to housekeeping in this city. All join in wishing them happiness and success through life. Be It knowh. That our honored and loved brother, Ezra S. liayhurst, de parted this life on the 29th day of June. 1911. and his sad and untimely departure leaves a home, that is dear to us all. without husband and father and leaves our Order without the companionship and counsel of one whose influence was ever for the best, whose character was an inspiration for us all and whose loss will be more fully realized as time shall pass: therefore, be it Resolved. For the purpose of com forting. so far as in our power, the wife and daugnter. we eitend to our sisters, Mrs. Hayhurstand daughter, Harriet: the great sympathy we feel in this hour of our mutual loss, and for the purpose of shouting to the public the love and esteem in which our departed brother was held in this Order: be it Resolved that a copy of these reso lutions be delivered to Mrs. Hat hurst and Miss Harriet Hayhurst: that the same be spread upon the records of Hermion Temple Pythian Sisters.

Of course. Jenner's Park was the Mecca of tire usual big crowd and doings, yet the day was so swelteringly hot many refused to go there or any where else with the ther mometer above 100 and the air ready to explode like a bunch of fireworks. Owing to the intense heat, no fats uor leans could be induced to broil their precious hides on the diamond, and all sports were called off till late in tire afternoon, when all Were pulled off as slated in the park.- The basket ball game between the girls and boys, about 5 o'clock proved the biggest card, tire big boys only just winning by one measly point over the dainty feminine creations, the score being 13 to 12. The girls' team was composed as follows: Guards. Emma Fowlerand WinnieOuthose: forwards Zelpha Reed and Fraces Corning: cen ters, llallene Mellor and F Leschin ski. while the boys' ream lined up in the same order were. Arthur Rowe, Sack Itorsey. E. S. Cook, Albion Ohl sen. Bob Mellor and A. Leschinski. The other sports have not been re ported. but were good. In the* even ing after the scores of lunch parties had finished their pleasing pastime, and the evening £ades had fallen, a magnificent pyrofcchnic display was given. Following this, those who love the dance stayed to enjoy it. the others wending their way home ward. pieasd as always with a day at Jenner’s Park. Death off W. H. Brown On Wednesday.

Ord and Loup City played ball on the local grounds last Friday after noon resulting in a score of 9 to 4 for the Ord team. Such result is caused by lack of practice by the Loup City team, and will always be the result because of lack of practice. Until by some means the locals can have the necessary practice the people will not take the trouble to witness ball games, as seeing a losing game does not add to the zest of seeing the worst happen. This does not sound good, nor does it please us to so re cord. but the fact obtains just the same. The Misses Outhouse and Charlton entertained at the home of the for mer, the Nebrasice State University students, Thursday evening of last week. A very enjoyable evening was spent in recalling pleasant memories and in singing University songs. The feature of the evening was the organization of a State University Club, of which Hon. R. P. Starr was made president, Emma Outhouse vice president, Flora Ohlsen secretary treasurer and Ruby Charlton sergeant at-arms. The out-of-town guests were Mr. Cecil Charlton of Chicago, Miss Mae Brewer of Minnesota, Mias Dion of North Bend. Miss Daisy Simmons of Schuyler and Mr. and Mrs. Gould of Arcadia.
