Electric Light r*
t
Franchise Granted
Loup City Mill and Light Company
Given Twenty Yoar Franchise
The city council met in - adjourned
session Monday evening of tills week,
and after much discussion, in which
agentleman named Andrew, exploited
a company who were proposing to
give electric power to numbers of
towns in Central Nebraska, the power
to be taken from the Calamus river
above Burwell and by transmission
over the country give electricity to
to numerous townsand farming people
which was duly considered by the
council, the franchise was given to
the Mill and Light Co. In an inter
view Tuesday morning with E. G.
Taylor, who will be at the head of
the new company, he assured us that
it was his purpose to give Loup City
the very best service consistent with
the patronage given the company.
While it will be the purpose to give
24-hour service, day and night, the
franchise does not obligate the com
pany to do so, as it of course is not
known whether enough patronage
could be secured to give daylight
electric power service, though Mr.
Taylor believed enough could be con
tracted for. Work is to begin within
ninety days and to be finished and in
operation within 175 days thereafter,
and while the time allowed will thus
be some nine months from 'beginning
of the work till it is to be put in ac
tive operation, Mr. Taylot expects to
have said electric light and power
plant finished long before that time
This is good news for our people and
an enterprise which will be carried
forward to successful completion, as
is everything in which E. G. Taylor
is the moving power.
Earl Thompson
Gets a Bad Fall
While Earl Thompson of the Gas
teyer store was .arranging shelving
and at the time standing near the
top of an 8-foot step ladder, last
Thursday morning, by some mistep
or unknown cause, he lost his footing
and fell from the ladder backward
down on to the counter, severely
hurting his back and wrenching his
left arm. Fortunately a pile of goods
were on the counter^ which in a
measure saved his 200 pounds of av
oirdupois from striking full force on
that hard-pan, but, as it was, a large
sliver was broken from the framework,
penetrating through his pants, just
missing the fleshy portion of his leg
between knee and thigh. Earl says
a miss is as good as a mile, according
to old saying, but a lucky miss all
the same. He is nearly as good as
new again, however.
Hans Diets. Htu£jT
Also Drop tn Pork
We received a pleasant call Tuesday
from opr good friend,' Hans Dietz,
accompanied by his t^o manly young
sons. Hans is nursing a lame wrist,
which he received a week ago Monday
While bringing a load of hogs to town
that terrible windy day, his load
overturned, throwing him heavily to
the frozen ground, badly spraining
his right wrist and spilling all his
live porkers. By good fortune, he
was driving a gentle team, who obe
diently stopped at his command. Two
friends who were driving their teams
accompanying him and assisting in
bringing hogs to town, helped him
to right his wagon, reload his hogs,
which made no attempt to get away,
and he ca.ne on into town without
further mishap.

Holding Mercury Down
Nebraska never does anything by
halves. It goes the full length at
everything. Last week we reported
the blamed “thermom” as jumping
down to 29 below. But that was
easy. As we went to press Thursday
it was getting colder and that day
it did not go above 18 below. That
night ifgrew colder till by five o’clock
in the morning it registered 36 below
at 7, two hours later it stood at 33
and even pt 9 o’clock it had not gotten
above the 30 mark. It was sure some

The Owl Club
A number of the young men of our
city have formed a elub under the
name of “The Owl Club,” which meets
once a week in Nightingale and Son's
law office for the purpose of debate
on questions of the hour, education
along oratorical lines, and for mutual
benefit and improvement. The club
numbers some ten or twelve of our
leading young men and each meeting
night some leading subject is up for
debate, the discussion, pro and con,
be of a very interesting and instruc
tive character. The Northwestern
compliments these young men in
forming an alliance and organizing
a club for the upbuild and formation
of their characters and to keep in
touch with the leading questions of
the day. It beats that too often in
dulged in by young men, that of
pressing sidewalks evenings and aim
lessly killing time between twilight
and bedtime.

no wind and no bitter cold. Our
coldest so far has been two below
zero, which is unusual for this coun

NO two clothes makers
are equal in the style and

Running this store on the progressive plan we
do, we are bound to go for our supplies to the
one best source.
Curious how a certain maker will achieve a
supreme expression of the prevailing mode—to
which all others must bow.
This season it is Kirschbaum Clothes. They
'berry
are “5111-Wool.” All are hand tailored. The
Kirschbaum label, the identification mark of the
best clothes made, guarantees this.
Our offerings in these splendid clothes are
remarkable: $15, $18, $20, $25, $30 and $35 give
a range of styles and fabrics to please all men.
The Kirschbaum Waldorf—$15, $18, $20 and up
