AGED LADY LAID TO REST One Mere ef the Snell Army el Sher man Connty Pioneers PassesOn. CAME TO THIS COIRTY IH ISIS. The body of Mrs. Fred Thode arrived here Thursday evening from Lincoln, where she passed away Thursday, morning, July 23rd, at 5:10, and was laid to rest in the Verdurette cemetery, Friday July 25th. Mrs. Thode was highly esteemed by all who knew her. She was one of our early pioneers, who with her hus band and family settled here when our county was young, and through industry and hardships, helped the few, to prepare for the many to follow. She was always a kind friend, a patient and loving mother, all who knew her will mourn her loss and grieve to hear the sad news of her death. Wehelmina Shtfltz was born in Germany, Oct. 25, 1841, she came to America in 1871 and sottled in Rhode Island, from there she re moved, in 1878 to Missouri, and in 1880 she came to Nebraska, settling in Cass county, where she resided three years, then to Sher man county where she has resided 9ince. In 1866 she was married to Earnest Jendricke, to this union were bom nine children, three of which are now living Mrs. John of Comstock, Miss Bertha Jandricke and Mrs. Min nie Thode of this place. On the 22nd of February, 1894, deceased was again united in marriage to Fred Thode. At the time of her death she was 72 years, 8 months -- ! Fats and Lea s Cross Bats A Perfect Waterloo for Fats • The Fats and leans on a Summers day— Went out to play base ball, The Leans did swipe the ball around. But the Fats could not at all. The Fats would fan the empty air— And that would make thcftn sore: The Leans would hit the ball a swipe And then would make a score. The Fats would howl and bawl around— Yet never move a peg— The Leans would have a score or two— The Fats still have the “egg” They put a man named Long on first— And Slocum in to pitch’ Of all their errors—twas the worst’ They never moved a stitch. Tom Lav he made a wonderous hit’ The Fats had hopes a few’ The ball it soared a goodly bit— But landed on Mathew— The way Bob landed on that ball— T’was a goodly sight to see And of all that crowd that was surprised, The most of all was he. At first Bob was rather dazed’ As if he had been hit. But when the crowd a howl raised * He found it in his mitt. The greatest joke of all the day Were the grape vine curves oi “Slocum” He'd twist himself in a frightful way Then GEE’ how the Leans would soak ’em. At last the game was ended— There’s nothing more till Fall’ Both Leans and Fats are limping now. After the Ball. The Ford is my auto; I shall not want; it maketh me lie under it in the green pastures; it leadeth me into much trouble; it draweth on my purse. I go in the paths of death for its sake. Yea tho' I understand my Ford perfectiy. I fear much evil, for the radius or axel might break. It has a blow-out in the presense of my enemies; I annoint the tire with a patch. The radiator boilsover Sorely this thing will not follow me all the day of my life, or I will dwellin the bouse of poverty (forever.) Moral: Equip your Ford with a new eoo coo clock. When the thing reaches a speed of twenty miles per hour, the bird will come out and sing “Nearer my God to Thee.” Mrs. Wes Pedler Breaks Arm. Mrs. Wes Pedler met with a very serious accident last Tuesday morning. While attempting to light the electric light* the buttom of which is at the head of the basemenr stairs, she slipped and fell striking her arm on the cor ner of one of the steps breaking the arm near the shoulder. Medi cal aid was called at onee and the wounded member set and dressed and the patient is getting along as well as could be expected owing to the seriousness of the break. Last Friday afternoon, the Loup City young ladies who in augurated these "manless’' social affairs by giving a dance at The Frederick, held a second and not less delightful event in tne form of a picnic at the river. Arrange ments were made for conveyance by auto and about thirty-five were on hand for the usual picnic acti vities—the climax naturally being the splendid picnic supper in : which activity each one willingly : took part. Information about other ^vents which took place seems difficult to gather. Just what form the next affair may take we cannot say, but the crowd extended a vote of thanks to the organizers of the “independents” and agreed that the picnic was a jolly outing. OUR CHAUTAUQUA IN FULL SWING Larger Crowds ia Attendance and Attraction* Bigger and Better than Ever Before ia Oar Chautauqua History. \ ' SUCCESS II EVERY WAY. Loup City Chautauqua is in full swing and is if possible better and more largely attended than any previous year. The opening entertainment, and an excellent lecture by Cyrus S. Nushbaum, were both greatly appreciated by our townspeople. Stewart Ira Long, addressed the people the second day and both his lecture and wonderful ability as an orator would be very hard to surpass, and those who were fortunate enough to hear him felt they were more than re paid. The Brown-Enlow Com pany and the Great Laurant and Company, old friends of Chautau qua goers, entertained in the usu ally strong and fascinating way, the only difference if any from past years was that they were better than ever. The Musical Maids company is and 29 days old. The funeral services were held from the home of her daughter, Mrs. Peter Thode. Friday, Rev. Slocumb of ficiating. The Northwestern with their many friends extend sym pathy to the bereaved family in this their hour of sorrow. OAKD OF THANKS We wish to thank the friends, and neighbors for their many j kind acts during the funeral of ; our beloved mother.

H. R. McKeen, rightly named the whirlwind, delivered a lecture in the evening of the same day. Mr. McKeen ranks i among the very best on the Chau tanqua platform today. His ad dress was highly appreciated by all. The Chautauqua Entertainers and Nels R. Darling, entertained the public Wednesday, were right ly credited with being one of the best, if not the very best of the Chautauqua. To-night the Imperial Guards band will Lie here. It is not neces sary to dwell on this feature of the Chautauqua,as their past en gagements and nation wide repu tation make this attraction’s ster ling worth a surety. We regret that going to press before this at traction prevents us from giving our readers a more lucid account of the pleasing way in which John F. Chambers will entertain, as he has a excellent reputation as an impersonator we are positive that this evening will in no w*y lack in holding its own with the other interesting attractions of this year’s Chautauqua. It is to be hoped that the peo ple of Loup City and community will secure the Chautauqua for another year.
