Mellor, secre tary of the Nebraska Agricultural Society, had finally succumbed to the hand of death, and had passed into the Mystic Beyond at the hour of 3:30 that morning. Early tha t morning, preceding her death, her nephew. John W. Long, of this city, had re ceived summons to her bedside and upon reaching Ravenna phoned back the sad news of her demise, as above stated to intimate friends, the news rapidly spread over our city, casting gloom over the entire community. Mrs. Mellor was a noble, great-heart ed woman, loved and respected by all, and in this community where she had spent a large part of her life, she was most revered and respected by every man, woman and child, to whom she was considered a dear and loyal friend. No wonder the receipt of the intelli gence of the death of the good woman was felt by each one of our people as a personal bereavement. Quite a number of the closer friends of the family went to Lincoln Tuesday morning to attend the funeral, which was held at St. Paul’s church in that city on that day, and her body laid to rest in the beautiful Wyuka cemetery. Our people with one accord will deep ly sympathize with the bereaved husband'. The State Journal of the 16th gives the following short sketch of the life of deceased: •‘Mariamne, wife of W. R. Mellor, died at 3 o’clock Sunday morning at the Jr residence, 1435 L street, after a lingering illness of four years’ dura tion. Mariamne Pyke was bom in Layfayette, lnd., and was married to William R. Mellor, October T6, 1883. at Michigan City, lnd. They removed to Nebraska in the spring of 1885, lo cating at Loup City, where their res idence continued until Mr. Mellor came to Lincoln in an official capacity as secretary of the sjiate board of ag riculture. Funeral services will be conducted by Dr. I.F. Roach, assisted by Dr. T. A. Jeffery, at St. Paul s Methodist church. Tuesday at 2 p. m. Friends of the deceased will view the remains at the home Tuesday morn ing. Burial at Wyuka.” Deceased being a former earnest and prominent worker in the M. E. church at this place, memorial ser vices in her honor will be held in that church nest Sunday evening, at which the general public, as well as all friends of the departed are most earnestly invited to attend. HYMENEAL Cronqidst-Johnson Last Wednesday, June 11th. 1913, at the home of the bride’s parents, Rev. and Mrs. C. G. F. Johnson, in Web ster township, occurred the marriage of their oldest daughter, Miss Sallie Johnson, to Mr. Emil Cronqust of Holyoke, Colo., the ceremony taking place at the hour of 7 o’clock in the evening, the Rev. Isaacson of Aurora officiating. The bride and groom were attended by Miss Esther Noren and Mr. Mondle Weden of Holyoke, Colo., and Miss Lillian Johnson and Mr. Edwin Johnson, brother and sister of the bride. Miss Ruth John son played the wedding march as the bridal company appeared in the parlor and the happy couple were united in the holy bonds of matri mony. After the ceremony a splendid supper was served. The invited guests were: Mr. and Mrs. C.O. John son, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Swan Youngland, Mr. and Mrs. Lari Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. John Olson and Mr. John Blaska, be sides those before mentioned. Mr. Cronquist and his bride left last Sat urday mornlug for points in the east, to return here for a short time and then go to their future home in Hol yoke, Colorado. The Northwestern wih follow the young people with its best wishes for a long, happy and prosperous life. District Court District court convened here Tues day with J udge Hostetler presiding. As usual, the judge had on his rapid tiring togs and hurried matters to a finale, despite the fact that we have a most magnificent, cool and commo dious temple of jusice in which to deal out legal lore, and which should be an inspiration and inducement to prolong sessions during a heated spell. In spite of that, however, the judge insisted on getting through the work instanter, and by Wednesday noon had cleared the platter and adjourned. The docket was of Httle interest and but few braved the heat to be present,. outside of those who were forced to at the mandate of the court. The main case was the contest case over the county attorneyship, which had been appealed from the county court, and which ended in like manner as in the lower court, Judge Hostetler find ing that present County Attorney Pedler was entitled to stay on the job. Other than above, the cases brought up were of minor importance, to the general public. Knights of Pythias Memorial Services The Memorial services at the opera house last Sunday afternoon, in honor of the Sir Knights who had passed from this life into the life to come, were witnessed by a fair sized crowd in spite of the insuferable heat of the day, and were most beautiful and im pressive. The stage was beautifully decorated with flowers and K. of P. emblems. The pjogram nearly as given in the Northwestern was ren dered, two changes being necessary, ex-Grand Chancellor Long, who was to have had oharge of the program being called to Lincoln by the death of Mrs. Mellor, being superceded as chairman by Chancellor Mathews, while the illness of Knight R.P. Starr, who was to have made one of the ad dresses, causing that number to be omitted. Knights Wall and Pedler made able addresses, while the music by the double quartet and solos by Mr. Worlock and Mrs. Schwaner were very pleasing. At the close of the program, those who could secure room in automobiles went to the cemetery to strew flowers on the graves of de parted brothers. Rexall Store Changes Hands Last Saturday the popular Rexall drug store again changed hands, Wm. Graefe being the lucky purchaser, Mr. A. D. Hinman, who recently pur chased the half of his partner, Mr. Joe Vaughn, retiring. Will Graefe is quite popular with our people, a young, energetic and progressive busi ness man and will undoubtedly’ make a continued success of this popular drug emporium and add to its reputa tion to the good. Mr. Hinman, we understand, will return to his busi ness interests at St. Edwards, where, as he says, he has more than enough to keep him busy. Just what hisson, H. A. Hinman, intends doing we have not learned. We wish best of success to all incoming and outgoing parties. Rally Day Next Sunday will be ‘‘Rally Day” at the Methodist church. A number of special features will be introdujed in the morning service, including the help and assistance of Miss Hartman, a regular ordained deaconess. The evening service will be a memorial service to the memory of Mrs. W. R. Mellor. Miss Melvia Danielson will assist in the chorus work. Recita tion, etc., will also be given in the Sunday school and the deaconess will have charge of the Epworth League. BASE BALL Standing of teams in the Sherman Howard league: p w PCT.

Children’s Day services will be held at the Wiggle Creek church Sunday morning, June 22. at 10 o’clock. Everybody invited to attend. P. G. Peterson is enjoying a visir ' with his brother who is here this week. Mr. Peterson and his brother had not seen each other for 3" years. Henry Kuhl and sons are the largest farmers the carrier knows of on Route 2. They have out 130 acres of oats and barley, 140 acres of alfalfa and 250 acres of corn. Oliver Brodock took Claud and Harold Burt, with their lady friends, to Rockville Sunday and took in the Odd Fellows’ picnic at that place. Claud played bajl withjAie Rockville team. Carrier has cans put up on posts to catch the rain fall over the different parts of the route, and they showed from one inch to two and one-eighth inches over the entire route of thirty three miles, from Sunday night’s rain. A narrow strip of heat ribboned the corn last Sunday night between Will Miller’s and Henry Kuhl's, with no damage to the wheat. The heav iest rain was from Ed. Flynn’s south east, taking in Miller’s, Kuhl’s, Wig gle Creek church and Hans Overmil ler’s. The strip that was so heavy was four miles wide and clear across the route. Route 2 was covered with a big rain Sunday night and is all that’s needed for wheat. It will also make the hay crop and early potatoes. The first cutting of alfala is finishsd and some of the second cutting is already six inches high. Oats heading out this week and free from weeds. Some farmers are eating new potatoes. Corn cultivated over once and much of it twice and free from weeds. Last week was line for all kinds of farm work. Tame cherries are ripe and most pastures are good, Oliver Brodock and the Rutherford family had an experience with their their autos on the way home from Loup City Sunday evening that they don’t care to repeat right away. The rain was only light at Loup City and they thought they Jcould get home easy, but as they went south toward their homes the rain ifcreased until all the draws were small rivers. At Fred Daddow’s, the big draw at that place was carrying a heavy load, as it always does in a heavy rain. Oliver was getting too near home to let any thing stop him and drove his auto it and the car died righ in the cen ter of the stream, with the water i rushing all around it. The Ruther ford car saw Oliver's trouble but drove in, through and safely across They then borrowed a rope at Dad dow’s and either waded or swam out to Oliver, fastened the rope to the car and without much trouble he was hauled out of the flood. This all hap pened about 11 o’clock Sunday night. They were delayed about forty min utes there and continued their jour ney, reaching home about one o’clock in the morning, a tired out bunch. The carrier could see their tracks the next morning all over the road show ing the efforts it took to get home at all. Clear Creek Items Adam Zahn was a Loup City visitor last week.
