A TRAGIC END. Loup City people who were acquaint ed with Frank Chamberlain, a young man who visited with friends near here and also assisted R. H. Mathew in his office here, were shocked to read in the daily papers one day last week of his death, and by his own hand. Mr. Chamberlain left here on October 12th after spending several weeks in Loup City and vicinity and had made a host of friends during his visit here. He graduated from a law school some time ago and a brilliant future was predicted for him, as he acquitted his studies with the highest honors. It appears that he was hav ing difficulty in finding a location and this, in connection with worrying over his financial condition unbalanced his mind. The deed that endejj in his death was his second attempt at self destruction, the first time he cut his wrists and throat wiht a razor, but was recovering nicely, when he leaped from a third story window at Dedford, Iowa, dying shortly after. The remains were taken to his home at West Point, Nebr., for internlent. Subscribe for The Northwestern. ROUTE TWO. Will Thomas thrashed Monday. Mr. Thornton. unloaded lumber this week. Mrs. N. P.

The November number of the Ne braska Record reached our office this week, increased in size and with a pleasing cover design. Among the many interesting articles in the November number is a good story af the Big Barbecue at Loup City, a tale of the first train service to this city, which was on June 4, 1886. This article is written in a highly in teresting style and is closed with a number of articles clipped from Loup City’s first and only daily, “The Daily Times,” published on that day by O. B. Willard. A pleasing article on “Litchfield” and surroundings, is the first article in the magazine and is illustrated by a cut of the historical elm, where the fourth of July celebrations of long ago were held. The educational department of The Record is very complete in the last number and a continued story “Lo homa,” a breezy story of the great out doors, commences in this issue.. As the subscription price of the Ne braska Record is only 25 cents a year we believe it is within the reach of all. It covers a field peculiarly its own and when you figure that it costs but a little over two cents a copy, the ex pense is trifling. WEST SIDE.
