ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION Does Sherman County Need a New Court House? Editor Northwestern: Being in Loup City Monday and having busi ness at the court house, I went into the clerk’s office and found there the offices of county clerk, district clerk, county assessor, etc., and too crowded to, transact business. I then went to the county treasurer’s office where there was a little more room but no place to rest. I then went up stairs to the county judge’s office, and de airing to look over some records, they had to be taken out into the court room to find room to look them over. I also found there were more countv officers who had to have offices out side than inside the court house. 1 then asked myself the question, would it not be better to have a new court house of sufficient capacity to provide offices for all within the same building than to have them in hired rooms over the town? I have been opposed to a new court house proposi tion in the past, but after going through the old one and looking the matter over am now in favor of a new one. I want to hear from the farmers over the county as to what they think about it, and then will give my ideas of how we can secure it. Gael de la Motte. Change Not With Results At '.ny rate the change in time ser vice on the Burlington passenger is proving to be great pickings for the Union Pacific at Ord. Passengers down the line say that the train fre quently leaves Burwell with a good sized load but lose at least half and sometimes two-thirds of them at Ord where they abandon the Burlington to make the Union Pacific and get out of the country via Grand Island route.—Burwell Tribune. The same conditions prevail on this branch at Loup City and St. Paul, j The lure of catching a through train I it Aurora has fallen flat for the rea son that t.he crack train is late two Llurds of the time and patrons of the road are not taking any chances of being detained at Aurora five hours just for the pleasure of riding on it. Hence they drop off at either of these towns and get Union Pacific connec tions and reachjtheir destinations on schedule time.—Sargent Leader. Injured When Cigar Explodes Broken Bow,Neb., May 23.—With a report resembling that of a pistol, a cigar which was being smoked by ex county prosecutor Gadd, exploded, seriously injuring his eye. The at torney had just left the postoffice and was lightiug the cigar when the ao cident occurred. The explosion was heard by people a block away and bystanders seeing Mr. Gadd throw his hands to his eyes supposed some one had shot him and rushed to his assistance. The affair is somewhat mysterious as the injured man pur chased the cigar himself from a fresh ly opened box. The cigar belongs to a brand manufactured by a North Plate firm, and it is the intention of Mr. Gadd to make an investigation. Sunday Base Bali Wins by Big Vote The election Monday to see whether Sunday base ball would be legalized by a vote of the people carried in both wards in favor of the proposition by a total vote of 148 to 34, or something over 4 to 1/ It was a forgone conclu sion in the minds of the voters that the people py a Urge majority were in favor of Sunday base ball, hence, numbers who were against It did not go to the polls at all, so that the vote in reality does not fairly record the entire feelings of the population, but does record the fact that the will of the voters is largely in favor of said proposition, as had all those failing to vote been recorded “No,” yet the majority would have still been in favor of it, while the facts in the case are that many voters, both pro and con, did not vote at all. OBITUARY Mrs. Will Paolman » On last Friday night, about 10 o’clock, May 23rd, 1913, occurred the death of Mrs. Will Paulman of this city from the dread disease tubercu losis. Mrs..Paulman had been a suf ferer from tuberculosis for some time and her death was not unexpected, still came with deepest sorrow to husband, children, mother, brothers and sisters and a host of friends, and causing deep sorrow to our commu nity. The funeral occurred from-the M. E. church in this city on the Sun il it afternoon following, and her body laid to rest in Evergreen cene tery, our ceautiful resting place of the departed. Memorial Services The Memorial services at the Pres byterian clmrch last Sunday morning were of a very interesting character. The church was well filled and the program was well carried out. The address was given by Dr. D.A. Leeper of the M. E. church, who spoke from Hebrew 11-4, “He being dead, yet speaketh.’’ The doctor avoided to a great extent the well-beaten path of former addresses on like occasions, his principal thought being that the influence of man was much greater after he had passed from earth than while yet with us. In other woTds, a man is not rightly appreciated till he passes hence. While yet alive, his imperfections are so exploited that we lose sight of the better and more last ing impressions of the good he has done and of tiie example he sets for the better. While here on earth, Washington, Lincoln, Webster, and other great minds, were belittled, criticised, condemned, found fault with, and their worst side put forth, to the discredit of the good they ac complished, while after death only the good was remembered. So it is With us all. While in this life the worst is exploited, after death only the good is remembered and spoken of. He paid his respects to the news papers, especially the great dissemi nators of news, claiming the pulpit was a greater power for good than the press, with those great reflectors in mind. The newspapers exploit the evil with us, much to the elimination of the better things, while the pulpit gives only of the best and for moral uplift. Space will not allow of ex tended report of his address, but to our mind it was certainly the most masterful address along the above lines of thought we have heard at any of the former memorial occasions, and reflected mueh credit on the speaker. James Landers Dies Tuesday Our people were shocked Tuesday by the sad news that Mr. James Lan iiers. formerly of this city, liad died it 11 o’clock at his home in Arcadia, resulting from typhoid fever. ‘“Jim” ■Zanders, as he was more familliary palled by all who knew him, was a a great, big, warm-hearted, genial, whole-souled man, and counted as friends all who knew him, He is sur vived by his aged parents, two sis ters, wife, two married daughters and five grandchildren. His body is to be brought to Loup City today for burial in our Evergreen cemetery. Two Auto’s ' Slightly Mix Last Saturday afternoon as the Lee auto, wic>h a load of people, driven by James Lee’s young son, was on its way out to the home of Ed Angier in Webster township, the Oliver Mason auto, in which were Mr. and Mrs. Mason, and driven by Mrs. Mason, suddenly turned a corner in the west part of town and crashed into the rear end of the first-named car, t wisting the rear axletree and breaking a for ward spring in the Mason auto. Fortunately no one was hurt, and no serious damage to either car. Loup . City People Cross the Big Pond Mr. and Mrs. Otto Wiehl of Grand Island, who had been here a few days visiting at the home of Mr. John Ohlsen. left Saturday morning for a visit to North Platte. Mr. and Mrs. Wiehl were here on the eve of a pro posed visit to Germany, but defer their trip across the big pond till the 18th of next month, when Mr. and Mrs. Ohlsen have promised to ac company them. Right Hand Torn In Windmill Gear A few days since, while at work re pairing his windmill, Mike Kirschner of Elm township, got his right hand caught in the gear, tearing the flesh from the bone and badly mutilating that member. Dr. Bowman was called and rendered necessary aid and Mr. Kirschner was doing nicely at last reports. Notice 1 desire to announce that my Studio will be closed from May lOtb to about June 10th. . A.

Frederick Hotel Opened for Business On Wednesday noon of this week the new Frederick Hotel, just com pleted, and owned by Mrs. Viola Odendahl, was opened for business, with one of the most tempting and appetizing dinners ever placed before the public. While the opening of the new hotel was not & formal affair, the management gave a spread to the public generally at a dollar a plate whice would do credit to any of the more elaborate and functional din ners usually given on such occasions. It had been understood by the public that the hotel, when ready for open ing, would be preceded by dedicatory services with a tine banquet, com mem orative of the erection of this elegant and expensive hostelry, which would do credit to a town many times the size of this, but tbe “best laid plans o’ mice an’ men aftimes gang aglee,” and such proved to be the case in this. However, Mrs. Odendahl, not to be daunted by untoward circum stances, set about to open the bouse informally, resulting.in givingasplen did dinner to all who might wish to be present on the opening day, nearly one nunarea or our people taking ad vantage of tire occasion to be present, eat of the splendid repast, congratu late the enterprising lady for giving to tbe city such an elegant and up-to date hostelry, and inspect the build ing from garret to basement, so to speak. And for a fact “Tiie Freder ick,” is at once a pride and honor to our city. Situated on a business corner of our principal street. It has a frontage on the south of 50 feet, ex tending to the north 90 feet, built of brick, with pressed brick frontage on the south and east, is two stories in height, with basement under entire structure, steam heated and lighted by electricity throughout, with baths and toilets, elegant furniture, and everything in keeping with the most modern and latest of decorative art, Loup City cannot fail to be proud of her handsome new hotel, and equally congratulatory of the lady who has made it possible for such a building to be erected in our city. Tire base ment will be given over to sample rooms, laundry, furnace etc. The drat' floor given over to jbe office, din ing room, kitchen and accessories, the large front room on the southeast corner of the first floor to be rented for business purposes, being an idealj place for a millinery emporium, while the upper floor is given ovef to the ladies' parlor, bedrooms, toilets and baths. Not another such a palatial hotel will be found in the state out side the larger cities and towns, and certainly not any other town of this lize. Jenner’s Park Opening Day Tuesday, June 11 One week from next Tuesday will be the Opening Day of the season at Jenner’s Park, and extensive arrange ments have been made to make that one of the very best events ever com ing offin that favorite amusement re sort. We are not in possession at this time of the program in detail, but do know that Mr. Jenner is leaving no stone unturned to make it the best of any day’s enjoyment ever given there. Music, ball games, sports of all kinds, many additions to the menagerie, the old favorite ocean wave, merry-go round, shows, dancing galore, plenty of shade, electric lighting of the park throughout, tables for picnic parties, and many other features will make of the day and night one continual round of pleasure to all who attend. Watch for programs out prior to the event, which will fully inform you as to detail. Grand Island and other towns are planning to attend in bodies and there will be thousands of peo ple ob the grounds throughout the day, which will fill the capacity of the Park, capable of holding 5,000peo ple and over, without exhausting its resources. Don’t mi® the event. HYMENEAL Brldgnao-Colllns At the county judge’s office in this city, Friday, May 23rd, 1913, the ceremony being by that urbane official, Mr. Benjamin F.

If you want to buy anything, anywhere, let ! us council with you before you do. We have traveled, investigated, bought, sold and kept careful count of net results. We have made and lost, but in the main have gained, have often left the near to seek the far off good, which we have seldom found. t Many old men will very likely read these i simple words, tired of summer heat and winter cold, they want to rest and we can tell them how because we know of many young men who want to buy just what they desire to sell. We can show them how to do these very things with : safety to them both and we can make a profit for ourselves which no one will regret. i_______| Come Give j> trial' You Then will De clare our Grc^ries the Choisest Our PRICES FAIR Most Obliging You’l Find Us Anxious to Please | Ever {Striving Our Best YOUR WANTS TO APPEASE _I % s ^ I_" | Try These—'They’ll Please j Puffed Wheat Oranges.
