The following short obituary notice
has been handed us regarding the
late William Cox, whose death we
announced last week: “William Cox,
was born at Oswego, Illinois, August
11th, 1844, and was married to Clara
Henning, at Plano, Illinois, February
23, 1870. To this union were born
seven children, three dying in infancy,
the other four, with his wife, still
live to mourn his loss. The children
are: Charles, Fred, Mrs. Hattie War
rick and Loren, all of whom were at
his bedside during illnes and subse
quent death.’’
On the first page this week is an
interesting story of the recovery of
an old Bible lost during the war and
which but lately has been recovered
by the rightful owner, Mr. Smith of
St. Paul, father of our Kelson Smith
of the Loup City Mill and Electric
Light Co. Kelson was down to St.
Paul Monday and saw the Bible just
recovered and'visited a day with his
parents. The fact that it was Kel
son’s aged father who figures in the
story lends local coloring to the story
and adds to its interest ytith our
people. Bead the story and know
that “Truth is stranger than fiction.”
In the rush of other matters last
week we neglected mention of the
splendid reading given at the opera
house by Miss Elizabeth Erazim on

reading was "The Polish Boy,” and
is the one in which Miss Erazim won
the first medal in the interstate con
test some time ago. All who heard
the talented young lady will agree
with us that it was one of the tinest,
if not leally the best reading ever
given in our city. In fact, her pose,
words, gestures, emphasis and clear-1
ness of enunciation were as near
faultless us anything of the kind v,e
ever heard, and it is not to be wond
ered that the judges gave her first
place by a number of points.

Expects Roosevelt
to Be Republican
Candidate in 1916
Lansing, Mich., July 18—Promi
nent polilio&ns were today discussing
with interets the statement of United
States Senator Porter J. McCumber
of North Dakota, who addressed the
state bar association convention last
night and who expressed the belief
that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
would become a candidate for presi
dent on the republican ticket in 1916.
“1 believe Roosevelt's friends are
planning to enter his name in the
primaries in the various states and
he will become an active candidate
for the nomination for president on
the repuplican ticket.” said McCum
ber.
Many lawyers here believe the Col
onel realizes he would fare well in
the primaries and when the time
comes will attempt to amalgamate
the progressive and republicans.
Secretly it is said a number of prom
inent state politicans hold the same
opinion as McCumber.

Remember Burrowes & Leon’s big
tent show this coming Saturday even

drama, “Friend or Foe,” which has
all the thrills you could wish. Boyd

Discour&giug statistics and a goci
deal of talk are offered about the Im
mense number of people who reach
old age without provision for meeting
its needs. Evideticas are not lacking
that the statement in this direction is
overdrawn, since a lack of material
possessions does not always prove a
state of dependence upon public char
ity. Many, old persons have Invested
their means in earlier years in sons
and daughters that prove an invest
ment capable of paying and that dc
pay large dividends in love and care
Old age without houses and land and
stocks and bonds is not always im
provident old age. Signs there are ot
a degree of improvidence in the young
er generation that would seem to bode
destitute old age; and yet who could
be downcast about the si tuation in the
face of the fact that the savings banks
of this country have on deposit more
tlan four billions of dollars—proof of
thrift—which means hard work and
careful savings through self-denial—
that discounts to a degree the evi
dence that this is an extravagant and
a thoughtless age.—New Bedford

Many tales might be told that binge
on the sounds at hastily spokeD
words to unaccustomed ears. The only
true one we have beard of late is
this:
Last week Charles de Harrack, the
well-known pianist, stood in front of a
local theater, being polite to a certaiD
society lady. In order to make con
versation he said:
“Have you seen ‘Julios Caesar1 this
week?”
“No, I haven’t,” answered the lady.
“Where is she playing?"

"Her husband’s death must have

“Oh. it was—terrible.”
“But she married again?”
“Yes, she found another home.”
"Did she recover from her grief,

Quibbling.
“Say, old top—”
“Why old top?’”

“No; an invitation like that has a

Thus it was that the relations be
tween the doctor and the professor
became slightly strained.
