life. They had their headquarters on
an island a few miles south of the
city on the Loup. While there came
the big storm, breaking up of the ice
on the river and kindred troubles,
leaving the party marooned on the
island, from which they did not get
off from Tuesday till Friday after
noon, when farmers near by managed
to launch askow up the river above
them and floated down to their rescue
and they managed to get on to main

A rather amusing incident occurred
at the M. E. church last Sundav
morning, in which one of our popular
young papas figured embarrassingly.
At the commencement of the services
came the baptism of infantsand when
the call came the young parents went

darling asleep in its cab at the rear of
the house, forgetting the principal
event of the occasion, causing the
young father to return for the baby,
much to the amusement of all.
It seems we are to have Chautauqua
much earlier this year than last, an

days ago, giving the opening date as
July 21st. He claimed that hereto
fore the Chautauqua season in Loup
City had been too late, when the even
ings were too cjol for comfort, hence
j the management concluded it would
j be more satisfactory to Chautauqua
I patrons should the season be held
j some weeks earlier, when there would

A card from our John Sullivan sized
i friend, John A. Peugh. at Galva, 111.,

that he does not get his copy of the

arouses our fighting qualities by the
challenge that "Til smash your ‘pro
boscis’ when I come back there, if
| you don't get my paper started a
little earlier.” John's will is strong
enough, no doubt, and if he will agree
to come back to God's country to live,
we'll just let him take one poke at us,
and cancel any return, so glad will we
be to get him to come home where
everybody feels civil and good natured
—which seems not to be the climatic
influence over his way.
