Ao Explanation
The following contemptible, unfair
and even libelous statement appeared
in C. F. 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.

things necessary to make it the usual
success of the picnics of the order
here in the past. The committee set
Thursday. July 31st, as the day, to
commence at 2:30 in the afternoon
and continue during the evening, and
