Beushausen's sheet last week and is about on a par with his attacks in the past on a number of our citi zens in his scurrilous sheet: How about a newspaper that would authorize a man U> go out and collect several hundred dollars on the pre tense of getting up a booster edition aud then never even attempt to ful fill one word of that promise oqly to be a party in assisting in grafting the best business men of the town—C. F. Beushausen’s Times-Independent. The incident referred to is as fol 1 lows: On June ", 1^12, there caraeto Loup City, a man calling himself Ig natius I. Murphy, a man past middle age, nice appearing, and business like in every way with splendid en dorsements, some from newspaper men whom we knew, and desired to enter into a contract with us to get out a special edition of the North western, he to l»ave full charge of the write-up features, paying us a stipulated amount for composition’ the insertion of cuts, and we were to otherwise get out the edition at our expense, he getting his compen sation from the write ups, we never to ceoeive any moneys from said Mur phy or the write-ups, save for com position and insertion of cuts as stat ed, any further compensation com ing from what advertising we could secure, the special edition to be pub lished within ten weeks. Such in brief was the contract entered into by us with said Murphy, and with all the circumstances attending, proofs of reliability and recommendations brought forth, we have no doubt but that Beushausen would have jumped at the chance himself, with his dob la r-mad proclivities only suborned to his loony hunt for office. Having faith in the project and in the probity of the man Mur phy. and recommendations carried by him. we handed him a letter of in troduction to our people with our ex pressed belief in his integrity, wf pre pared for said special edition, order ing large quantities of print paper, etc. Several weeks passed serenely, and alllooked well. As the time ap proached for the issue, Murphy asked for a little more time: then again and again, delay was asked, always with smoothest letters and reasons. Mean while he was sending in write-ups and cuts were being seat in from va rious engraving companies, all of which, with his letters of reason for delay we have in our possession. As late even as two weeks ago we re ceived cats from the Bramblett En graving Co. Only the first of last month we received the following let ter from Murpiiy, which we publish as the latest received and a fair sam ple of the many: Guide Rock, Neb., June 1, 1913.— My Dear Mr. Burleigh: Just a line to keep in touch and say that I will make a special effort to get that out witiiin thirty days. The delay an noys me, 1 believe, quite as much as you, but no one lias been harmed in the meanwhile and eventually all wili receive just what they paid for. That party, Allen, who assisted me in the work, proved a rogue and a crook generally and set me back con siderably, but 1 am now emerging from the financial shadows, and 1 trust I have not forfeited your confi dence. .Several of the cuts are al ready made and in your office. The rest of them are in the office of the Bramblett Engraving Co., and my draft will soon be sent for them. Then the edition will go through with a rush, a roar and a rumble. Yours truly Ionat. I. Muxpby. In the meantime, after our expla nation of the special edition deal, he owes us at least a public apology through his columns for calling us a grafter. If he acts the gentle . man, he will do us that justice. Hymeneal. Dr. O. £. Longaere and his bride arrived borne from the East last weeii Wednesday evening. While the doc tor was absent on bis eastern trip, he took a; four-weeks’ course at a'New York Post Graduate Medical School and hospital, the work being very interesting and instructive. He was united in mairiage to Miss Katherine .Tucker of New Canaan, Conn, at the “Uttle Church Around the Corner,’’ in Sew ’fork City, one of the most > famous of all the churches in this country for the solemniziug of such events, the ceremony ocoourring on June 9, 1913, the wpdding being -a . .very quiet affair, there being no at , tendants save the bride’s sister Miss Ruth Tucker, and Mr. George Rowell of Stamford, Conn. On their return journey,. Dr. and Mrs. Longaere stopped in Baltimore, and a day in Mentone. Indiana, where they visited a sister of the doctor. At present, and until they can find a satisfactory . residence, they will stop at the Mil 1 born hotel and be at home in the | doctor’s sulte_ of office rooms. The Northwestern,' with all the good | people of the city, will extend a cordial welcome to the doctor and bride and wish for them joy, happi ness and prosperity through life. Obituary. . Samuel Daddow Last Sunday. July 13, 1913, at his home in this city occurred the death of Samuel Daddow. an estimable cit Isen of Loup City and one of the older residents of Sherman County. For atnmiber of months past, deceas. ed had been in precarious health, caused by stomach and heart troubles. All that medical skill could do was done to prolong his life, but disease rapidly gained control and he passed away as-above mentioned, on the day lie loved so well and revered so-highly. The funeral services were held at the Methodist ehurch on the following Tuesday Afternoon at 2:30, Rev. Dr. Leeper conducting the ser vices, the A. O. U. W. lodge of which he lias .been an honored member, acting as escort from the home to the church, and the four living brothers Joseph, Frederick, Thomas and Nicliolas, and two brother-in-law's, Henry Goodwin and S. N.Sweetlaud, being pall-bearers. The church was crowded to its untmost capacity, in soite of the extreme sultry weather, and many waited through the cere monies out on the church lawn. The casket was covered with beautiful flowers, gifts of esteemed friends and neighbors. Samuel Daddow was a quiet and reserved man, not given to putting himself forward before the public, but was most liighly esteemed by the entire community, and if lie had one enemy, we are unaware of that fact. In iiis death a whole com munity: sincerely mourns the loss of a good, upright eitizen, and a pleasant and agreeable friend. The North western, with all our people, will deeply sympathize with the afflicted wife and fatherless children. aamuei uaddow was born In Corn wall, England. Sept. 4. 1852. He came to America with his parents, arriving July 4th 18C9, settling in Wisconsin, where the family remain ed five years. Later they came to Iowa, where deceased was united in rparriage to Miss Elvira Goodwin on Sept. 20, 1879. To this .union were born seven children, namely, Alonzo, living at Austin: Mrs. Pearl Balliman living near St. Paul; Frank, living four miles south of Loup City? Mrs. Edha Lambert, living near Austin; aad Mabel, Earl and Evelyn at home. Mr. Daddow moved with his family and relatives to Nebraska about 32 years ago, settling in the Wiggle Creek neighborhood on a farm, thence moving to LoupCity about 8 years ago, where he has continuously resided up to the time of his death. Deceased uuited with the United Brethren church about 22 years ago, but upon moving to Loup City united with the Methodist chureh, and was a consis tent and faithful followed of the Master till he passed to his reward. In the death of Samuel Daddow, the community has lost one of its. most worthy and substantial citizens, the church one of its most faithful and consistent members, and the home a loving husband and affectionate father. Deceased was one of a family of seven children, five boys and two girls; one sister aad two,brothers, with the father and mother, having passed on before. Hi Chase Last Thursday afternoon, a phone message was received here announc ing the sudden and unexpected death of Hi Chase at Mason City, brother of Dr. W. T. and A. E. Chase of this city. At a later hour that afternoon the two brothers, accompanied by two sisters, Mrs. A. M. Bennett and Mrs. Will Hawk and members of the fam ily went to Mason City by auto, and from whom it was learned that deceased bad been ill for a number of days from heart and stomach trouble but not considered serious, and his death occurring while the family was at dinner between 12 and 1 o’clock came as a terrible shock to all. The funeral was held at Mason City on Monday, many friends and members of the Masonic fraternity, of which he wa» an honored member, attend ing from Loup City. Broken Bow, and other towns, where deceased was well known. Hiram -C. Chase Jr., was born in Del aware county, Iowa, on the 26th of May, 1868, and died at his home in Mason City, Nebraska, Friday, July He was the third son of a family of ten children, consisting of six boys and four girls. Of this family three brothers and three sisters survive. When about three years of age his parents moved to Strawberry Point, where they resided until coming to Loup City, Nebraska, in the spring of 1883.

Knights of Pythias Will Have Picnic Some few weeks ago, at a meeting of the K. of P. lodge, it was agreed to have a picnic at Jenner’s Park some day during this month. J. W. Long, H. Jenner and J. W.
