Every citizen In the community should be actively interested in this Chautauqua because it pro vides a program that would be a credit to a city many times as large as this one. It gets people into the habit of coming to town and then makes them glad they came. It will contribute to the moral, intellectual and social growth of the community. It will promote individual thinking. It will present the kind of clean, wholesome enter tainment and instruction yourj young people should have and therefore will make them better satisfied with their home and sur roundings. It will tend to curb the desire most young folk now-a-days have to crowd to the big city instead of remaining at home where oppor tunities are so much better. It is character-developing, and it costs each individual but a few cents. An Easy Thing to Decide. There are sixty-five Redpath-Horner Chautauquas on what is known as a u-day list, and sixty-eight on the 7 day list. Our i-day Chautauqua is propor tionately quite as large as any of the 7-day Chautauquas. the only material difference being in the length of time. But it was not until a year or two ago that it was ever thought possible to manage a Chautauqua in tow'ns of r.Oo and a 1.000 population as is being done this summer on a most extensive stale by the Redpath-Horner people. It is the size of the organization that makes this possible. A band has been brought all the way from Italy—not for this one en gagement. but for sixty-five. The towns are arranged in almost perfect order so that jumps can be made conveniently and economically and each attraction appears on a dif ferent platform each day. The exceptions to this rule are very rare. This plan makes a varied program, because tbe talent is different each day There is more crowded into these five.days than was presented to the average Chautauqua of from seven to ten days a few years ago, before SYSTEM came into tbe Chautauqua. And everything is of a high-class character—a featUYe the Redpath Horner people have insisted upon since their first Chautauquas were started six years ago. A season ticket—and a good crowd has been assured by the local business men-- makes the cos* of the Chautau qua about fifteen cents a number, which is cheap enough. The cost need not concern you seriously. The quality of the program is un questioned. The question of going is a mere mat ter of deciding whether or not you care foi a good time that will be of benefit to you. It Has Never Been Written. There is no question but that Dr. Cat hell's lecture on •■Lincoln." which is to be heard here Chautauqua Week, is the greatest lecture on the life and the work of Abraham Lincoln that has ever been heard. Dr. Cathell is a minister of the Episcopal Church who has won a national reputation on this one lecture alone He was born and reared within a few steps of the White House at the time of Lincoln's administration. He says that as a lad he has sat on Lin coln’s knee many a time; that his lather and the President were great friends. "1 came to love Lincoln,” he says, ' almost as 1 loved no other man. And theee boyish impressions have stayed with me. ily lecture has never been written. I have only spoken it. It seems as if it is Just a part of me." In places where Dr. Cathell has previously presented his Lincoln lec ture he may select some other theme. He is a great lecturer who would be heard with interest on almost any subject he might chose to speak upon. He Believes in the Young Man. One of the big lecturers to be here Chautauqua Week is Chancellor Geo. H. Bradford of Oklahoma. Dr. Bradford's remarkable rise in the educational and religious world is a notable instance of the achieving of success lj* hard work and persis tence He had a very meagre chance. He paid bis own expenses in school and then went out to accept the pastorate of a mission church in a large city located in 3 neighborhood that was by no means “desirable" and offering op portunities that were by no means encouraging. Today, he is a great, powerful man. one of the great leaders of the Metho dist Church and a leader in education al affairs. His subject has not definitely been announced, but his favorite theme is the young man. in whom he has an un bounded confidence. Dr Jamea G. Whiting is an eastern Chautauqua man, who is coming here to lecture at our Chautauqua this sum mer. He is one of the big men on the Chautauqua platform, with a message for this community. Everyons la tht THE BULL MOOSE Seven years ago the Rev. Dr. Wil liam J. Long, the naturalist, presum ed to criticise T. Roosevelt, then president, for certain things lie said about animals. Biff, bang! There was a Roosevel tian broadside against Dr. Long's own animal stories. The Rev. Mr. Long was jabber wocked.. He was branded as the original “Nature Faker.” Seven years is a long time to wait for revenge, but Long waited patient ly Once more Teddy drifted into the wild animal kingdom. Bolting the Chicago convention, he announced himself as leader of the third party. “I feel like a bull moose,” he re marked. So the “bull moose” party i was born. Then Dr. Long landed. Here's tlie Long vengeance, in the form of an article cn the character and habits of the now famous bull moose, in the current number of the Independent. The ball moose lives on the public domain, and is a very wasteful feeder. At the present time, lie is one of the iuxuriesof democracy, which supports and protects him, that lie may minis ter to the vanity of a few sportsmen mostly of the tinhorn variety, who think it is a brave thing to follow him and to hang his grotesque head in tlieir homes. With such an emblem, the new party may well inscribe “Thou shalt not steal,” upon its standard. The bull moose never steals: he simply takes what lie wants. lie has fed on public property so long that lie con- j side rs it rightfully his. As T. Roosevelt writes, “the bull moose is never found in a great head, J but alwaysalone or in small family parties.” In these respects, lie is an excellent totem: who shall settle all affairs himself, or in select tennis cabinets, taking no heed of courts or constitutions. At times the bull moose rampages violently through the woods, exalt ing bis born, grunting, squealing, stamping the eartli with his hoofs, and thrashing the unoffending bushes with his antlers. Meeting him now you would think him champion a Hot- j spur, a very devil of an antagonist:1 but he is at heart an arrant coward ( and braggart, without a spark of real i —that is, moral—courage. He will• roar defiance at all rivals and at the ' universe itself: but snap a twig sharply or bark like a small dog, and all the rampant egotism oozes out of him. Another noi-iceable rharcteristic' of the bull moose is his inordinate I selfishness. Whether roaming the woods in solitude, or tearing up the earth, or coming head-long to the call, he is thinking first, last and all the time of the safety of his own skin and the fullness of iiis own stomach, I never yet saw a bull moose do a thing for anybody but himself. He cannot tolerate a rival, but dies into a jealous rage at the first sug gestion that there is any other moose in the universe. The bull moose is easily fascinated by too bright a light. Occasionally when I am studying the animals at night, with a jack in tiie bow of my canoe. I meet a bull moose that stares too long at the light, much vs a poli tician might look too long upon glory, and he ends by floundering head-long. Our renowned authority is in error j when he speaks of moose "galloping" away when alarmed. The bull moose often bolts, as lie has a strong ten dency in that direction, but he can not "gallop." Note that the bull moose always makes a crooked trail, wandering about as if lost in the woods. Though he travels a great deal, he never makes any real progress, but always sw ings around to a point not far from where he started. You shall never find him at the end of a straight course—The Omaha Daily News.

OBITUARY Mrs, L. H. Currier Monday morning of this week came the sad news that Mrs. L. II. Cur rier, who had been suffering from nervous .breakdown, and who was taken by her husband a little over a week ago to Bailey Sanitorium. Lincoln, foi treatment, had died at 4 o'clock that morning. The be reaved husband met the body at Aurora and the same evening arrived in this city, being met at the B. & M. depot by the ladies of the Rebekah Lodge and a number of friends and taken to the home, from which yes terday afternoon the loved form was taken to the First Presbyterian church, where funeral services were held at 2 o’clock, before a large con course of friends, and laid to rest in Evergreen cemetery. Rev. Tourtellot. the pastor, preached from the favor ite test of deceased. John 14:2. “The Heavenly Home.” Mrs. Currier had been in somewhat frail health for some time, but it was not until two weeks since that her health began to rapidly fail and the only hope of recovery was to give her complete rest away from the burdens 1 coming to a mother with five little ; ones, besides having to combat with j delicate health and nerves. Word 1 had been received from the sanitorium tiiat she was doing nicely and the 1 news of her sudden death came as a distinct shock to all. yuite a number of relatives were called here from a distance, whose names and homeswe append, but of whose relationship to deceased we are not fully informed: Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Wilson of Ashton: Mr. and Mrs. Jay Paige of Morrill, Neb.; Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Sutton of Ord: Mr. George Wilson of Oklahoma: Mrs. Kate Steven and Mrs. Ann Karnes, both of Will iams. Iowa: Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Wil son, Messrs. Ernest and Lou Wilson and Mrs. Lizzie Wilson, all of Giltner: Mr. Jesse Marvel of Comstock. Emma M. Wilson was born at Wil liams, Iowa. October 2rt. 1879, being one of a family of four children. She passed from this life on the 5th day of August 1912. aged 32 years, 7 months and 15 days. While still a mere child, her parents moved to Ashton. Neb., which was her home until her marriage, May 14. 1902, to Mr. L. H. Currier, at the present time county superintendent of public instruction. Mr. and Mrs. Currier spent their first years of married life in Akron, Iowa, later moving to Ashton and still later tp Rockville, at which latter place they made their home for three years prior to settling in Loup City in January of the present year. Deceased leaves to mourn their loss, the father and mother. Mr. and Mrs. -T. D. Wilson of this city, one brother and two sisters, Mr. Clyde Wilson, of Ashton, Mrs. Eva Sutton of Ord, and Mrs. Myrtle Paige of Morrill, Neb., to gether with her husband, Supt. L. H. Currier, and five children, Eva Lu cille, Edna Elizabeth, Wilber Dale, Theo. Lewis and Clyde Rexford. During herentire life she was a de vout follower of the Christ, becom ing affiliated with the Presbyterian church at Ashton at the early age of 13 years, and after her marriage trans ferring her membership to the Bap tist church at Akron, lowar While she had not long been a resident of Loup City, her departure to a higher field of labor for the Master is felt as a distinct loss to the Christian forces of the city as well as to the many friends she has made in the community. The Northwestern, with the entire community, deeply sympathize with the bereaved husband, children, pa rents and all the relatives of deceased in the loss of their dear one. Ashton 6, Rockville 7. Rockville defeated Ashton Sunday 1 by a score of 7 to 6. The Ashton boys played an uphill game all through Rockville being in the lead all the time. In the 9th inning with two men on bases, Kohanowski got a 3 [ bagger which made the score <> to 7, ' but lie tried to stretch it for a home, being put out, thereby loosing a | chance for Ashton to tie the score ! cn the two errors that followed.

BOOSTERS FIRST TRIP Take In Ord, Sargent, Comstock And Arcadia The pre-arranged Booster trip ofj our business men by auto Tuesday, to Ord. Sargent, Comstock and Ar cadia, came off with great eclat, and proved one of tiie greatest and most enjoyable ever pulled off by Loup City. Early Tuesday morning, with the band playing numbers of pieces, with horns, whistles and hideous noises of all kinds deafening the ears, the autos lined up in front of the banks to the number of some thirty two, tilled with an average of three and four to the car, making a total i of something over a hundred enthus-! iastic Loup Cityites, made for Ord, w ith colors dying, carsdecorated with banners, boosters with white caps or fussy Indian plumes, and all with high spirits predominating. Being nearly an hour late in starting, but with roads in best condition and the day ideal, the cars reached Ord on nearly schedule time, and were es corted into the city by a buncli of ■ Ord autos tilled with the men that make good for that city. An hour was spent in that city, her people turning out en masse to welcome the ' boosters. After plenty of music bv ! our band and the distribution of literature pertaining to our Harvest Festival, the Ord contingent escorted ■ the boosters a few miles out on the ! road to Sargent, which latter city was i reached a half hour behind schedule. There also the town gave us the glad I '.and, the streets being lined with ‘ Sargent’s progressive people. After dinner came the scheduled ball game between Loup City and Sargent, the ! score being (> to 4 in favor of Sargent. It had been the understanding that the game was to progress until the hour scheduled for departure, when it was to close, but by some misunder standing. the large crowd gathered to witness the game supposed it was to be a full-inning game, and rather than disappoint the people the Loup | City Boosters stayed to the tinish. which was an hour or more beyond the time for leaving, which frayed the schedule on both ends, the side aud in the middle and were thus an hour late into Comstock, which was also a mass meeting of the people there to extend welcome to the boost ing crowd, assuring us that the city would lock up its doors, poll down the curtains and all come to the Fes tival for at least one day. Alter im bibing plentifully of Adam's ale, and giving the auto-horses plenty of the same to last to Arcadia, the Boosters pulled for the state of Arcadia, also a little late but still in the ring. As bard luck would have it. the lead er of the band happened to be in a car that balked on the home run and af(ter waiting in Arcadia till too late to reach home in time for supper, we had to come on home without ‘ show ing’’ them what music a good band could give. The Arcadians, never be hind in anything, were out in full force to greet the coming Boosters. but by some misunderstanding upon leaving Comstock a portion of the Festival people came down on either side of the river, and lienee could not be garnered in one sheaf by the Ar cadian escort, which went out to do the honors. We are not going to say anything about the fact that several of the autos in the Festival proces sion dropped out and by the wayside on different occasions, because they only did so by the way of diversion, and to make of the trip the usual in cidents of the kind, a trip like that of Tuesday not being complete w ithout something of the kind. At Ord. Sargent, Comstock and Arcadia, and especially at the three latter towns, on account of good train service, w e were assured that big crowds would attend our Harvest Festival, and as they always do come with big delega tions. and are always to be found do ing just as they say they will do, we can expect big turnouts from each The Boosters are to start on their second trip this morning and are to take in Ashton, Rockville, Ravenna. Sweetwater, Hazard and Litchfield, and expect just as enjoyable a time and as big recompense in promises of big attendance from these latter towns as from the towns on the first day. _ _ Base Ball On the Home Grounds, Ra venna vs Loup City August 1st SHE Ravenna 0 0 1413000 9 7 3 Loup City, 0212110 0 08 7 ,7 ; Home runs: J.
