PRICHARD The Leading Milliner and Dressmaker S, I Daddow Opera House SATURDAY NIGHT The Battle of Cameron Dam A three reel lecture picture of the thrilling battle between John Dietz and the deputies of the lumber kings. A two reel comedy attraction in addition HIS VISION (Copyright.) fall Gowns to Hook Up the Back.— Fashion Note. i WONT STAND COMPARiSON Tliere is a saying that “compari sons are odious,” and undoubted ly they are, especially when they are not favorable to the party or goods compared. Win. Larson of the Loup City Mercantile com pany has a window display of mail order goods and goods from his own stock that should be a most interesting object lesson to those who persist in blindly buy ing from catalogue houses without first inspecting what the home merchant has to sell. The goods referred to in the above mentioned display are ar ticles of every day wear and the price tags attached sIkAv that the prices are as low anti, in many in stances lower than those offered by the mail order houses, and as far as the quality is concerned, the most ignorant buyer can not fail to see that he is getting a great deal the best of it by trading with his home merchant. The same is undoubtedly true of the stocks carried by the other mer chants of Loup City. The mail order patron is simply hurting himself, his home town and depreciating the value of property when he sends his money to a mail order house instead of keeping it at home where it is eventually used to build schools, churches, business houses and make other improvements that en hance the value of both town and farm property. Reed the ads in The Northwestern carefully each week and you will always find the live merchants have a message for you that will do you good, and probably save you both time and money. The merchant needs the farmer’s business and the farmer needs the merchant who uses his profits to build up a town that is of real benefit to the farmer. Let us all get together and give the mail order patron adequate proof in object lessons of the foolhardi ness of sending his hard-earned money out of the county. PERILS OF PAULINE. Manager Daddow of the local theater announces that he lias ar ranged for the production of the motion pictures of the great mystery story, “The Perils of Pauline.” This is considered the strongest and most absorbing of any of this series of pictures that have been offered to patrons of the movies, and has attracted large crowds wherever shown. The production consists of forty reels. Five reels will be presented on the opening night, Tuesday, September 7. Everyone should make it a point to be present on the first night as a synopsis of the story will be given at that time and will be of value to all who follow the story to the end. Each following Tuesday night for nine weeks four reels will be shown and an added attraction of a comedy reel. “Ths Perils of Pauline” is a story of the escapades of a young girl and there are thrills and start ling situations enough to satisfy the most fastidious and keep all wondering what will be the out come of the story. Manager Dad dow is to be congratulated on se curing the pictures of this story and it is .hoped that the patronage will justify the presentation of another story in this series when this one is finished. -1 How to Buy a Hat By Mrs. H. M. Mathew Don’t be in too great a hurry. Stroll around in the afternoon or even- ; ingand look at*the win- I dows. If you see hats you like, or if you don’t, j drop in and try some of | them on. Decide which are the prevailing colors and which suit you and your pocket book. If you are buying a street hat, wear your every day clothes, and if you want a best hat for all winter, put on your winter coat. The new hats have small head sizes. Notice the hat that brings out your color and suits you individu ally; a hat has no earth ly purpose on a woman’s head unless it makes her look pretty. I Decide for yourself. If some other woman says “no, I don’t like that one on you at all, do not hasten to throw it aside; maybe she wants it herself. If your rival says “yes, that’s perfectly sweet on you,” drop it quick. Leave your husband at home with the chil dren. He fell in love with you when you were wearing a hat of your own choice. Anyway he generally stands on one leg and gasps, or says “yes, anything you like mamma; yes, that’s all right.” And finally, buy a hat, and buy it here. Loup City is the State Emporium this season. Omaha and Lincoln are not in it. OPENING A BIG SUCCESS. The fall opening of the Busy Bee Hat shop was unique and was a new departure in methods here tofore followed out in this part of the country. At 8 o'clock a concert was given by the Loup City band and the doors of the millinery store were opened to the public. All the lat est hats and trimmings were dis played in a pleasing array and several models were present to display the various hats and com bination in the new styles. The store was thronged with ladies ail evening. Every visitor received u • ’uuidso' ae souvenir, pink rose. Besides the large num ber of people who attended the millinery opening, the street was thronged with people who enjoyed the band concert. PICTURES OF DIETZ BATTLE. On Saturday night at the Dad dow theater will be shown the pictures of the battle of Cameror. Dam. Wisconsin, which took place several years ago on account of trouble between John Dietz and deputy sheriffs at the instigation of the lumber kingsof the Northwest who, for many years had attempted to gain possession of a dam built and owned by Dietz on his home stead. The dam was of consider able importance to the lumber companies as a means of getting their logs to the mills, and this they songht to do without paying Dietz anything for the use of hi dam and kept up numerous perse* cutions of Dietz and his family* The direct cause of the battle was an argument over some school af fairs in which the Dietz family was interested and resulted in a fight in town in which Dietz wounded one of his assailants and escaped to his homestead and de fied the officers. In the numerous attempts made to take him, his daughter, Myra Dietz was shot from ambush by a squad of depu ties while on her way to town after the mail. A general bombard ment of the home of Dietz followed in which Dietz was wounded and i surrendered after killing one of the deputies, and is now serving a sentence in Wisconsin for the of fense. The motion pictures of this thril ling battle and the capture of Dietz will be shown at the opera house Saturday night in three reels and accompanied by a lecture descrifa ng the action of the pictures. Another two-reel attraction will be offered following the Dietz pic tures. SALE BILLS.

Thomas, state superin tendent, made the class address, and an enjoyable musical program was given by Mr. Montague \Yor lock and Mrs. Lou Schwaner. After the eighth grade exercises were concluded a large crowd went to the District 10 school, five miles north of town and took part in the dedication exercises of the new concrete school house com pleted this summer by Contractor C. .1.
