INFIRMARY FOR LOUP CITY The Fine Odendahl Residence Property Secured for an Infirmary The Northwestern is pleased to be able to chronicle the most interring piece of news this week which has cone to its notice this year. Dr. James F. Blanchard, our new Osteo path physician, last week leased the tine residence of Mrs. Viola Oden dahl and will open the same after May 1st as an Infirmary for the treatment of acute and chronic dis eases, in fact bringing to Loup City what it has needed for years, a verit able god-send, a hospital for the sick. Patient may have rooms at the In firmary during treatment if they so desire, and the institution will have in this tine mansion a home during their sickness. Our people owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Blanchard for the enterprise he has shown in securing this fine home for a hospital. CITY ELECTION A. B. Outhouse, Mayor; G. A. Collipriest, Counciman First Ward; Gus Lorentz, Coun cilman 2nd Ward The city election this year was car ried out with no printed candidates for other than clerk and treasurer., The death of H. W. Pedler after his ! name was on by petition, made it too late for any candidate to go on the ticket, while the other offices were in blank because petitions had not been i circulated. Thus when the ballots j were printed nearly every candidate ' had to be written in and very little 1 electioneering was indulged in. in fact none outside of the mayoralty and councilman, causing a multitude of scattering votes with possibly half the ballots on which the minor offices ! had no candidates written in. The vote by wards and the total vote follows: FIRST WARD. Total Vote Cast—125. For Mayor—A.B. Outhouse. 40: Jas. Lee, 40; J. I. Depew, 11. For Clerk—Peter Rowe. 84: W. J. Root, 21. For Treasurer—L.

Judge Aaron Wall Hurt in Runaway Monday afternoon of this week, while Judge Wall was driving two of his high-strung, blooded colts to a buggy, with a nephew who is here visiting him, and George Brill in with him, the animals started for a run near Jenner’s Park, and in turning a sharp angle to the north overturned the vehicle, throwing the occupants to the ground. Mr. Brill and the nephew escaped injury, but Judge Wall was thrown heavily against an embankment, rendering him uncon i scious. The liote 1 hack which was near the scene carried tlie injured ; man to his home where for a time it was thought that he might be very seriously injured, but last reports are to the effect that he is doing nicely and unless complications other than known set in, no fears are entertained for his recovery. Some weeks since, while hitched to a manure spreader heavily loaded, the same team became frightened and ran away, but were finally stopped before damage was done. Monday forenoon they again became frightened and runaway with no damage. After dinner, the judge, who is a splendid horseman, concluded to try tnem out and it was at the point where they started for their forenoon run that they tried the same thing with above serious results. The judge some time since had ribs frac tured while attending to his horses in the stable, they crowding him against the manger. When he was thrown out Monday afternoon he fell upon his breast, evidently injuring him most severely where he was hurt at the stables. Our people in their entirety will trust he may soon be up and around again. H. W. Pedler Laid to Rest Last Friday afternoon, from the First Presbyterian church, at 2 o'clock, occurred the funeral of Mayor II. W. Pedler, interment being made in Evergreen cemetery. The funeral was under the auspices of Marmion Lodge, No. Ill, K. of P., of which de ceased was an honored member, the body being escorted from the resi dence to the church by the Brother hood, the Pythian Sisters and the members of the city council. The church was crowded with citizens to pay their last sad respects, and all standing room taken. The casket was covered with flowers, while the greatest profusion of floral emblems smothered both casket and rostrum much has ever been seen in wuscity, bespeaking the esteem in which he was held as citizen, friend and public man. Rev. Tourtellot conducted the services, a male quartet rendering choicest of music. A brother of de ceased, Mr. Louis Pedler of Toronto, Canada, was present, other relatives from a distance, including mother, daughter, four brothers, a half-broth er and three sisters, being unable to be present. At the close of the funeral a large procession, consisting of automobiles and teams, filled witli the citizenship of our city and country roundabout wended its way to the cemetery, where the body was laid to rest with the solemn and impressive ceremonies ©f the K. of P. order. Herbert W. Pedler was born near Eugenia Falls, Gray county, Ontario, on the 22nd day of September, 1872, and departed this life at Grand Island on the 26th day of March, 1913, aged 40 years, 6 months and 4 days. At about the age of 17 years, under the custom of his native country, he apprenticed himself to a blacksmith for three years, at a salary of thirty, sixty and eighty dollars a year, and served with credit to himself and sat isfaction to his employer, and was pronounced a master mechanic. Shortly afterwards he engaged in bus iness for himself at Feversham, Ontario. About the last of the year 1894 or the first of the year 1895 he was united in marriage to E.sie J. McKee, of which union there was born a daugh ter, shortly after which the wife and mother departed this life and Wes, as he was familarily known, in an effort to lighten the burden of sorrow, came to visit his brother, J. S. Pedler, of this city, and has resided in or near here ever since. On the 16th day of J une, 1897, he was married to Druzilla H. Ditto, the only daughter of Mrs. E. E. Ditto of this city, and together they journeyed through the labarintli of life until the date of his death, she being with him during all of his last illness and exhibiting a devotion and patient en durance most admirable and beautiful. In 1909 lie was elected to the city council of Loup City, serving two terms, in 1911 he was elected mayor and re-elected in 1912, and was the only candidate for the position at the time of his death. Wes was a plain out-spoken citizen, which sometimes worked to his disadvantage, but lie i was generally admired for his sincer 1 ity of purpose. Wes came of a large family consist ing of father, mother, seven brothers, two half brothers, and four sisters, making a family of fifteen in all, and was brought up in a new country where conditions pertaining toeduca | tion were not the most flattering, j Just at a time when by energy and application in practical life he had become most serviceable to himself ] and others, and at a time which he deemed to be the meridian of his ex istence. he was called to meet the de cree of the powers that be. lie leaves surviving his widow of this city, his mother of Flesherton, Ontario, an only daughter of Port Arthur, Ontario, five brothers, two , half brothers and three sisters, the father, a sister and brother having preceeded him to the great beyond. Resolutions passed by the Commer cial Club of this city, were received too late for publication this week but will be given next week. John Synek Killed at Grand Island Word was received here last Friday . morning that John Synek of this city.! who was a brakeman on the Burling ton had met with a fatal accident in I the yards of that road at Grand Island \ the evening before resulting in his death a few hours latter. The facts ! as gleaned were as follows: lie was. running between Aurora and Ra venna. braking on a freight train. When arriving at Grand Island, and when the train was switching in the yards, he was thrown from the top of a freight car by the impact of the sections of the train, falling on to the rails, the body being run over by one ! or more of toe cars, cutting off both j legs, one above the knee and the other below the knee, and the trunk of the I body being badly crushed, from the j effects of which he died a few min- j utes after midnight, the accident oc-i curing shortly after six o’clock in the j evening. Mr. Jake Synek, Sr., and | Mr. Jake Synek. Jr., fatherand broth-1 er of the unfortunate man, wentdo.vn ■ to Gr^nd Island Friday morning and ! brought the body to Loup City Sat i urday evening on the Buy'ington, and 1 the funeral occurred from St. Joseph j church at 11:30 o'clock Sunday morn-! ing, a large crowd of friends and peo- i pie of thiscity being present to render; their last respects to deceased. A sad feature of the case was that | about the hour the deceased died, his ! wife gave birth to a baby at their | home in Aurora, the wife and mother being appiised of the accident but not made aware of the result till later. The body was taken to the home at Aurora, on the way to Loup City, that the family, comprised of wife and three older children could for the last time view the remains Deceased liad for many years been i a resident of Loup City, and was mar-. ried a few years ago here to a daughter j ot Mr. John Czapiewski, to whom j were born four children, besides the i babe which came under sucli distress- j ing circumstances, one of the four children being dead. The unfortunate man was a quiet, unassuming young man. a good hus-1 band and father, and was held in high j esteem by our people. Up to about a j week prior to his death lie had been ! for some time braking on the passen- i ger between Aurora and Sargent,but j feeling that he had no chance for ad vancement as a passenger brakeman.; and against the wishes of his parents and family, he left the branch and secured a place on the main lino freight, only to meet death so shortly afterward. John Synek was born in Germany on March 26, 1884, and came to this country when but three weeks of age, landing at Baltimore May 11, of the same year, with his parents, and coming direct to Farwell, X’ebr. His father was employed for years there and at various points in this section ; and up to the present as section man I on the B. & M. and TJ. P. railroads.! When deceased was aged 19 years the family moved to Loup City, which has been their home ever since. lie was married some seven years since to a daughter of Mr. John Czapiewski, and to this union were born five chil dren, one dying in infancy, leaving at the time of his death a wife and four living children, besides his parents, two brothers and two sisters. De ceased had been employed on the sec tion here till some 18 months since, when he went to breaking on the Bur lington. For a few weeks prior to his death he was a brakeman on the B. & M. passenger on this branch, a week before his death being transferred at his request to the main line, giving as a reason that he had no chance of pro motion on the passenger and taking work as a brakeman on freight trains to be in line for a higher place, his death occurring as above noted last Friday morning, as a result of his in juries the evening previous, at the age of 29 years and one day.

Friend Burleigh: I have been rather slow in my thanks for the nice mention you kindly gave me in your columns recently but it was because I have been very busy and not from any lack of appreciation I can assure you. I must compliment you upon the many improvements in the North western. Those two additional pages of home print certainly do look good. I closed a deal on the 15th which will combine my show w ith the L. L. Leon show. We will bill it as Boyd Burrowes and L.L Leon's Combined Show and are framing a surprise for tiie old friends. Two private cars and the biggest tent outfit I have ever been connected with will be necessary to carry and present what I believe to be tiie best show possible at popular prices. Work is going along nicely and most of the people are engaged so everything will be ready for the open ing here in Fremont early in May. I will send you an announcement in good time. Again thanking you for the nice mention, and with kindest wishes to Mrs. B. and yourself and all Loup City friends. 1 am, Very truly jours, Boyd Bukrow’es. An Eye-Opener for Our Young Men The Northwestern is always glad when it hears commendation ex pressed for the rising young men and women of our community. About two years since, Mr. Sim Criss, who nil our people know is a youDg man of exceptionally energetic qualities, coupled with the necessary brainsand enterprise to make a success of any thing he takes hold of, sold his dray druggery business and went to farm ing. lie took charge of the farm be tween here and Litchfield owned by A. C. Best and another Aurora man. whose name escapes us at this time. At the time he took charge of the farm, its chatties and other personal stulf invoiced about $5000. Mr. Best was up here last week, and found under Mr. Criss’ management, stock sold amounted to $5000: grain. $2500: while tiie stulf remaining still in voiced the original $5000. If this is not a splendid tribute to the business tact, energy and enterprise of one of our young farmers, then we are “From Missouri.” Such showing should be an incentive to many other young men of Sherman county to get busy and chronicle like success. No Tornado But Just Straight Wind Reports were current upon our streets last Sunday that a tornado had passed over the country north of Loup City, about 11 o'clock in the forenoon, between Arcadia and Ord, playing sad havoc over the Interven ing country. It was claimed that the farm of I). C. Denniston, some ten miles north of Loup Ciiy received the visitation, and that all the build ings were blown away and the family made homeless. Mr. Denniston was in town Monday and admitted they were visited by a terrific wind which shook thinp* up generally, but his buildings were left intact and no especial damage resulted. Later re ports are to the effect that while the country mentioned was visited by terrific winds, they werestraight, and without tornado tendencies and ac companying results.
