CABSE OF ACCIBEHT HHKHOWH. •Sorrow, regret and sympathy are sensations felt by this commu nity because of the sudden death of Rev. H. H. Berry, formerly pastor of the Baptist churches of Ord, Elyria and Horace. Last week, Wednesday forenoon Rev. Berry, who has lately been devoting his time to his trade as carpenter because of his pastorate failing to support him and his family, was working on a barn five miles northwest of Greeley. On the fatal morning the scaf fold was being erected to a higher level. This work was well and securely done and only >*r. Berry < was at the highest level, a distance of about 20 feet from the ground. While standing there evidently figuring on the next thing to do he was heard to utter one cry and then was seen to topple, over back ward striking the ground with great force, the blow being dealt to his head anti shoulders. He was picked up at once and presently regained consciousness, but did not know what had befal len him or what caused him to fall. A surgeon was called and the man seemed to be doing all right and, except when sleeping, kept his consciousness up to five minutes before his death, which occurred Friday morning at 8:00 o’clock. The pitiful thing about this tragedy is the fact that he leaves a widow and_eigjht children, the oldest being only ”13 years, with very little property. The family cannot, with the father gone, be self supporting.—Ord Quiz The American Express Co. will take all Christmas gifts for child ren in European countries for for warding on steamer from Brook lyn Nov. 10, free of charge.

Hansen, from 530 Temple street, Los Angeles, says he and wife are back from several months trip up in Ore gon and Washington. They stopped at Frisco and intended re maining there for some time, but the climatic conditions were not satisfactory for Mrs. Hansen's health and so went down to Los Angeles, it was so much nicer there. The Northwestern is pleased to note that Mrs. S. S. Reynolds, who has been so ill for the past fortnight at the home of her son, Wright Reynolds, has so far recovered as to be able to be brought home Tuesday of this week. Also, that her daughter, , Miss Maud Reynolds, who has been quite ill from rheumatic troubles the past number of days, is much better. Dr. ,T. E.

Happens in a Peculiar Manner. PATIEHT GETTING ALONG NICELY. Last week Monday, O. A. Woods had both hands badly burned as a result of washing his hands with gasoline and afterward i lighting a match which caught his hands on fire from the effect of which he will be unable to attend to business matters for a fortnight or more. He had been working about his car at Schumann^ gar age, and after concluding washed his hands in gasoline. Wiping them off as dry as possible with a quantity of waste, he attempted to light his pipe with a match, when his right hand was set on fire from the match. Attempting to put out the fire with his left hand, that member took fire and before the flames could be extin guished both hands were burned in a frightful manner from the the wrists down to the finger ends. He immediately went to his fam ily physician. Dr. Carrie L. Bow man, and had the burns dressed, but says the agony he has had to endure from the accident is more than tongue can express. How ever, he is getting along nicely and will soon be around as good as new. ' * Of Interest tb Your Boys When you keep a boy interested in football, baseball, tennis, and the like, you lessen the chances that he will get interested in things not so good for him. ' The Youth's Companion, since its enlargement, gives generous space to this matter of athletic training, and gets the best coaches in the country to write for it. How to practice to become a firsl-rate pitcher, how to train for a race! how to learn the newest strobes in swiming—these and a hundred other topics of the great est interest to boys—to girls, too, for that matter—are touched up on in this important department of The Companion. And this is only a small part of the service which The Companion renders in any home which it en ters. It has points of contact with a hundred interests.

Just Renenber that it it a Chaaee of a Life Tine aid Those That Let it Pass Are Jest Letting One More Chance ef Success Slip Past Then. BE A HOSTLER, A LIVE ONE AHB SUCCESS IS YOORS. Candidates, the best advice that we can offer you is to keep busy every day and go over your terri tory as closely as possible. If you are unable to spend much time, do not let that worry you, but just keep up a steady pace every day. Again we say, it is Continuity that counts. Just re member that it is a chance of a life time and those that let it pass are just letting one more chance of success slip past them. A number of candidates are going to receive very valuable rewards. You can be one of them or you can l>e sorry after it is over that you were not in the race. If you want the Maxwell Tour ing Car just go after it and stick. Stay right with it until the end and you will come out victorious, your cherished hcpe fully realized. The tortoise gained a victory over the hare. How did it happen? Everyone knows that the hare is much faster than the tortoise, but the tortoise plodded on through “thick and thin” while the hare made a little sphrt and rested.

Make your showing right now. Turn in .your collections. Run| your name up in the printed list and show your anxious friends that you have the spirit and the determination to win. It’s Up To You!

All of them want the Maxwell or one of the other splendid prizes we are offering and they are working with much energy, being aware of the fact that if they do not win they will be well paid for their time and efforts. We have cut the list of candi dates down until we believe that nearly all of the list are active workers. Any candidates whose name is on the list should inform the contest manager at once if she is not working. Now is the time to get in your hard work. Get in every sub scription you possibly can and turn them in now to count on the prize ballot votes. Warning Notice Every candidate should keep just as busy as she possibly can. because for instance, she may need a few subscriptions Nov. 11 to make her the winner of the Ballot of 20,000 prize votes. Notice To Contestants Bv mistake the change in the standing of the contestants does not appeer in this week’s issue of the Northwestern , only the votes of one or two contestants were changed. Next week the correct standing of contestants will be published to date. By mistake, the paper went to press before the count of uotes were completed. R. W. Houser.

DEMOCRATS TOO NOMERODS It was a cold and chilly day, Nov. 3, for republican candidates in Sherman county, even if the air was balmj’ and the sun shone brightly. Owing to the heavy vote, the count will not be finished in Loup City township until some time today. All the other pre cincts finished their count at vari ous times during election night. We will try and give the tabulat ed statement for next week's Northwestern. Below we give the totals on the legislative and county tickets so far as we have been able to get them from the returns made: Senate—Starr 442; Wink 528; Bischel 291. House—Burleigh 448, Trumble 831. County Clerk — Gibson 535; Polski 855. District Clerk-Waite 493; Bass 672; Jones 160. Treasurer—Henry 912; Jezew ski 459. Sheriff—Williams 869; Gappa 443. County Attorney—Pedler 746; Stephens 923. County Superintendent—Heapy 459; Currier 786. County Judge — Smith 335; Charlton 218. Reports from over the slate seem to indicate of the balance of the state candidates. On congress man, nothing has been received on which to base any idea of the vote of either Kinkaid or Taylor. From Buffalo and' 'Kearney counties come reports showing the election of Wink, democratic candidate for the senate from this 22nd district. Pardon our emotion, but by the figures above it is shown beyond very much doubt that the editor has been defeated for representa tive by C. W. Trumble, and so very certain seemed the sad re sult, that the editor early Wed nesday morning sent his successful opponent a telegram conveying congratulations on his handsome majority over the the writer, who has concluded the people did not wish him to change his address to Lincoln during the coming session of the legislature. There were four supervisors to elect, Wenzel Rewolinski winning in No. 1, W. O. Brown in No. 3, E. F. Kozel in No. 5 and F. T.
