THE CHAUTAUQUA CREATES
INTEREST IN AFFAIRS AT
HOME, ITS MANAGER SAYS
By Chat. F. Horner.
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.

chance for Ashton to tie the score !

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.
