The action was a sequel to a recent court decis ion in Springfield. 111., enjoining en forcement of tiie new rates. The order will be in effect pending tiie tinal disposition of the rate ques tiou in the last court of appeals. Meanwhile the old rates will obtain. The problem which now confronts the society is the status of the 300, 030 members who have left the order in protest to the new rates.as adopted by tiie head camp at Chicago. Under a special dispensation they have un til December 10 to get back into tiie order without being counted as lapsed members. Those who have failed to take advantage of this may be out of the society. On the other hand there are 150,000 who. have either joined the society since the new rate plan was adopted or who had their policies transferred from tiie old to tiie new schedule. What is to be done with their policies and rates is another problem. The head office assures the members that pending the final settlement of the controversy an equitable rate will prevail for all these members of un certain status and that no further effort will be made to force the col lection of the new rates until its le gality is finally decided upon in the supreme court. A Sad Death . Last Saturday, Nov. 30. 1312, after a few short hours of illness, the little 5 year-old daughter of Rev. and Mrs. C. G. F. Johnson, living on Route 1, just across the river west of Loup City, died from that dread disease, scarlet fever, and on Sunday was laid to rest in our Evergreen cemetery, the nature of the disease precluding all from attending, save those neces sary to lower jthe beloved form into its last resting place. Because of the dangerous nature of the disease, the home, with the entire family has been quarantined, and it is not thought there will be any spread of the con tagion. The Northwestern, with the large number of friends of the family made since coming into our midst only about one year since, will fellow the stricken home with deepest sympathy and trust no more fatalities will result. Obituary Anna Kristina Anderson, mothei of Isaac Sandberg at Ashton, died last week and was buried on Saturday, Ilev. H. Blomof Loup City officiating. She had made her home with her sor for a number of years. Grandma Sandberg had reached the ripe old agt of 87 years. All of her sons anc daughters were present at the fu neral, together with a large rjumbei of friends from Ashton and Boelus. Mrs. A. O. Zimmerman orders tin Northwestern the coming year to g( to her sister, Mrs. F. A. Harrison West Montrose, Ontario, that sh< may get all the news from her ole home. Mrs. Harrison was former!; Miss Maggie Minshull, one of thi popular young ladies of this city. ; Autoed to Shelton All Right, But— , Glenn A. Steven on Monday after noon of this week drove Judge Wall j and John W. Long to Shelton by auto, ' to attend the 25th anniversary of the j K of P. order in that city. From re ports by wireless, Shelton put up the finest banquet and provided an enter tainment tit for the gods. It was all right when they got there, but wire i less reports a most strenous time en route. All went serene till reaching a point about midway between Ra venna and Shelton when the gasoline launch acquired the tired habit and laid down on the job. In vain did I the judge plead the statute of limitations on such unh ard of pro cedure. Then the ex-grand chancel lor tried the second degree on the tiling with no perceptible effect. Fol lowing this, while the heavyweights puffed to the nearest farm house and succeeded in hiring a farmer to take the party to their journey’s end, Gen. Steven coaxed the buzzer down the i‘trail about four miles to a blacksmith who hammered enough sense in it, so that when the judge and ex-cliief of state Pytliians came along it had humbly agreed to be good, the farmer returned home and triumphal entry was made into Jeru—Shelton in time for doin's and eats. The party re ! turned home Tuesday without mis I hap and sworn to deny all above. Opera House Dedicated to Dramatic Art Last week Wednesday evening was a gala time for our people, it being the occasion of the dedication of Dad dew's new $20,000 opera house to dra matic art. Mr. Daddow had turned the house over to the K. of P. boys to secure a play and competent company for the opening night and they, after strenuous work by their committee, secured the State University dramat ic clue, composed of alive-wire bunch of students who appeared and pre sented that comedy, full of splendid situations, “All of a Sudden Peggy.” The boys then went out and person ally conducted the sale of seats, fill ing the seating capacity of the big auditorium, which comfortably holds 000 people. At a given signal, with .the expectant crowd tilling all availa ble space, Judge Aaron Wall appeared before .the footlights and in his own pleasing manner welcomed the great crowd present and congratulated peo ple and city over the erection of such a magnificent temple of amusement, and in having such an enterprising citizen as Thomas Daddow, who iias made it possible for Loup City to enjoy play house second to none other in any city of its population in the state, and a monumental honor to its builder and promotor. At the con clusion of the judge’s remarks, the curtain rang up on as pretty a 3-act comedy as has ever been witnessed in this city, there not being a dull mo ment from the first to the closing' scenes of the play. We had intended giving a synopsis of the play, and the work of each player, but time and space forbid. Suffice it to say that each player appeared peculiarly adapt ed to liis or her part and gave evi dence of thoroughness, adaptation and dramatic talent very pleasing to our amusement loving people. The new opera house proved a happy rev elation to our people. Ilansomely lighted with electricity from six great baskets of concealed bulbs Hanging from tiie ceiling, with sixty vari-col ored footlights, with minor light here and there for convenience sake, the 1 wiring and installation the work of | our talented young electrician, C. R. Sweetland, the seating of the hall with latest opera chairs, the conven ient exits, the handsome large stage with its beautiful drop curtain, most elegant scenes and wings, all go to - make the new opera house the very I best pattern, most convenient and thoroughly up-to-date of anything in the state outside the larger towns, at least. We understand the receipts fell but little short of $600. Only Good to December 28.

WRESTLING Warren Miller BestsHenry SmiUi of Omaha in Two Straight Falls, Time 43 and 16 Minutes FARMER BURNS HERE Preliminary Between State Welter weight Champion Robinson and Clarence Miller Game Exhi hibition OTHER MATCHES COMING The wrestling game at the new opera house last night drew forth a goodly number of lovers of tlie sport, with a fair sprinkling of ladies, to witness as tine and interesting mat sport as ever pulled off in our city. Space and nearness to publication day preclude other than the shortest story of the game. The evening commenced about 8:.'.0 witli a 15-miuute contest between two of our home boys, Cole and Curtis, witli honors even. At the conclusion. Judge Wall in a few choice words introduced tiie hero of over 6000 wrestling matches in 43 years of mat work, the veteran Far mer Burns, known the world over, who was here as referee: to give an exposition of points, and a lecture on a clean life. At the close of his talk came the first principle event, between Ross Robinson of Lincoln, champion wel terweight of the .state, and our local Clarence Miller, and though our gamey local boy put up good defense Robinson pinned him to the mat in two straight falls. Time, 7 and 9 minutes: half nelson and scissors hold Without delay then came the big event, Miller-Smith. Smith proved two inches the taler, ten pounds the heavier and quick as a cat on liis feet, but Miller was the strong er, with more endurance and good headwork, and won in two straight falls with the bar arm and scissors holds. Time 43 and 16 minutes. At the finish, Smith challenged Miller for another go within three weeks. We understand a match is being ar ranged between Lee Scott of Ansley and Joe Steoker, the wrestler who trimmed Miller herSPIast-weeic Mon day night. Additional Local A letter from Roy T. Fisher at Lockport, 111., enclosing remittance for another year's visits of the North western, says: “Got to have it, you j know, to keep in touch with you peo-! pie out there and see that everything runs right. Weather here tine up to the present. Marie and baby well and feeling tine. Am busy with work all the time. Regards to all inquir ing friends.” Mrs. Fisher was for me^ Miss Marie Schneidereit, a pop ular Loup City girl. Will Zimmerman last Sunday drove over to Palmer in his auto, taking with him the Misses Louise and Ella Taylor and the Misses Pearl and Byrdee Needham for a joy ride and visit at the Dinsdale home. They were to return the same way but man propose while auto disposes -in this case, as Friend Will's machine devel oped serious disability, causing the ladies to return in the varnished cars, Tom Dinsdale bringing Will home by auto, while the latter’s car awaits re pairs from Omaha auto barons. We are solicited to request friends not to ask too many questions of the mourn ers. Some comment and discussion hav ing arisen over the death and burial of the little girl across the river, whose death was caused by scarlet fever, and the resultant denial of the county physician for ministerial con solation, both at the home and at the cemetery, we will state that insofar as the health officer was concerned he had ordered no one to be present at i either place, save those necessary to take charge of the casket, and, as we understand, every precaution was ex ercised to the end that no danger of infection might follow. Following in structions, there was no minister present at the home, and only at the grave, and with every precaution ex ercised, was one present for simple prayer, which even to that extent would not have been with the sanc tion of the health officer, had he known, in the interest of perfect safety. The opening dance at the new opera house Thanksgiving night by A. O. Lee was well attended and a most en joyable time was the general expres ion of those present. All the floor SDace in the large hall was cleared for the dancing giving a clear floor, mak ing one of the largest dancing pavil lions in this part of the state. A look-in on the merry revellers gave evidence that Daddow's new opera house leaves nothing lacking in the way of providing floor, space, lighting, comfort and accommodation for all who wish to gather for an evening of that most fascinating pastime. j Last week we spoke of the B. & M. j ehapging time on tliis branch going 1 east to f'fh on minutes later. Tiie change was 'only temporary, as the old time of 9:2o was restored on Mon day of tliis week. A. L. Zimmerman left Monday morning for Texas, where lie expects to remain over the winter months, lie will traverse the major part of the state while absent, lie has hold ings at San Juan, in the extreme southwest part, north of Brown ville. where he will be most of the time. Mrs. Zimmerman may join him about the holidays. For friendship's sake, don't buy the cheap, rotten cigars that is usual ly put up to sell for holiday cigars, but come to our store and we will sell you cigars of recognized quality, well known brands, and our be6t sel lers, put up in one or two dollar boxes. A splendid XMAS gift for a good friend. Also see our line of Smokers' Sets. Pipes, and Smokers’ articles. The Rexall Drug Store. Vaughn & Hinman. We understand Mrs. John Minshull and family and Mrs. A. O. Zimmer an mand little son are to leave for Virginia, next Monday or Tuesday, where Mr. Minshull has bought a parcel of land adjoining that of Mr. Zimmerman, some fifteen miles from Richmond, and the two families will become permanent Virginans. From the Lincoln papers we see that I)r. Roach, pastor of St. Paul’s M. E. Church of that city has accept ed a call to the pastorate of the First M. E. church at Madison. Wis. Tiie many friends Dr. Roach lias made in his numerous visits here will follow him with best wishes. Mrs. R. P. Starr, Miss Hazel De Camp. I)r. S. A. Allen, Mr. Root of the State Bank, and a young lady friend from Sargent, formed a pleas ant party to Omaha last Thursday morning to tide over Thansgiving time. Mrs. John A. Peugh and little daughter left last Thursday morning for their new homeatGalva, 111. Mr. Peugh loaded a car and left with that for Galva Friday morning. While tiie Northwestern, with all friends of the family here, regret their going away, yet tiie best wishes of all follow them to their new home.
