father-in-law.
No lovers of fun, music and dancing
should miss “This is the Life” which
comes to the Daddow opera house on
Monday, February 28. Its music is the
prettiest and most stimulating in re
cent years. The principle cities where
it has appeared have grown enrap
tured over its delightful melodies, their
sparkle and piquancy while its excep
tional dances have tickled the big
towns foolish.
The Eastern Star held a banquet ay
their hall on Monday evening.
Mrs. Rentfrow arrived here Mon
day evening from Omaha for a short
visit with her daughter, Mrs. R. T.
Young, and family and other rela
tives and friends.
Haltou Powell's latest vehicle,
"This is the Life” will appear at the
opera house on Monday, February
28, for one night only. “This is the
Life” is a new- song and dance show*
and comes here well recommended.
It will undoubtedly be one of the most
popular attractions here this season.
Cash Prichard received a bad bump

pleased with the operetta. Every
number was especially good and the
singing delighted all. A great deal of
credit is due the instructor, Mrs. Owen,
as well as the girls for their splendid
production. The talent here in Loup
City is equal or better than most com
panies traveling on the road today.
Alonzo Daddow, a young farmer re
siding near Austin filed on Saturday
for the republican nomination for state
representative from the 57th district.
Mr. Daddow has been a resident of
Sherman county for thirty-four years
and this is his first venture in poli
tics. We believe that Mr. Daddow
would ably represent this district in
the state legislature if given the
chance. He is well qualified and the
issues of his campaign will be fully
set forth before the votes before elec
tion day rolls around.

LEWARDOWSKI’S
FIRST
HAZARD BOY MAKES GOOD.
In an official bulletin issued by
Ueadquarters, United States marine
corps, Washington, appears the name
of James E. Patchin, of Hazard, this
county, as having qualified as a marks
man in that most interesting branch
of the government service.
James, who is a son of Charles A.
Patchin, of Hazard, enlisted in the
United States marine corps at its
Denver, Colei ado. iccruiting station
on June 1, 1915, and is now serving a!
the marine barracks, naval station.
Cavite, Philippine Islands, where he is
having many interesting experiences
and adventures.
Considering the fact that Patchin
is scarcely more than a recruit, his
performance in gunnery is considered
by marine corps officials as little short
of marvelous, and they expect him to
break many marksmanship records
before his enlistment expires.

way, was put on in an excellent man
ner, and in such a way as to bring
credit to the men engaged in the work
and to the lodge itself.
After the degree work was finished,
the lodge had the pleasure of listen
ing to a very interesting discourse
from Bro. R. P. Starr, a visiting mem
ber from McCook, Neb. Mr. Starr em

“Three Links” to people who are cast
among strangers. Short talks were
also made by Sofus Ohlsen from Rock

for treasurer^ will be candidates for
these offices as their petitions have
been placed on file, duly filled out and
sworn to. Messrs. Hansen and Rowe
are present incumbents of the places
for which they are candidates and
Mr. Mathew is a new man for the
mayorship. All these are worthy and
time only will tell whether they will
have any opposition or not.

FIRST PIONEER DANCE
(By Alfred Flint.)
The first white mans’ dance in the
muddy and clear creek valleys of ’74
In the late winter or early spring, I
forgot the exact date, the settlers be
low around Sweetw'ater, sent me word
they were coming up to my place to
have a dance, they were not so numer
ous. w'hen I moved up here in Sep
tember ’73. Harvin Hughes Chris
tian a dane, Jack McGee, Bill Hilson,
and Buck Skin Jack (Jack Hendrix)
w'ere the only settlers on the Bea
ver then. Their -nearest neighbors
were on Prairie Creek below Cairo.
James Roberts, Bob Hodge, Thomas
Crostin, old man Hadex and Charles
Johnson, moved on in the early win
ter. This to the best of my recollec
tions were all living at this time on
the Beaver valley and no one but me
on the Clear creek and muddy valley.
So we made preparations for them
and as people in those days were al
ways hungry I went out and killed a I
black tailed buck for the occasion. He ]
W’asn’t so fat and we were not so par
ticular, and as the custon was to come
to supper and stay for breakfast, there i
was nothing left after breakfast.
Our dugout and cedar log abode!
wras about 1Sx24. We cleared out the
west end for the dance (all square)
and amongst other things our rifles
wrere put just outside the door. It was
one of those beautiful moonlight
nights almost as clear as day. Jack
Hendrix furnished the music. Along
about two or three o’clock in the
morning I had just prominaded with
Mrs. C. Johnson, she was quite fleshy
and anything but a good dancer and
as we were jumping around she re
marked this is hipity hop. As we
returned to our station my back to
the door, two Indians were seen
watching us, their painted faces close
to the window on the east end. Mrs.
James Roberts was the first to see
them, she screamed, and Jack threw
his violin across the floor and said,
boys, the Indians are on us. Of
course my first thought was our guns
I pulled my 45 six shooter held it at
my sholder reached out and pulled
in the guns, then I felt safe for I
knew they could not get us out of
that dugout. The Indians when they
found out they were discovered, ran.
Bob Hodge, who happened to be out
side saw them run up the hill. We
went out and looked for them but saw
no more of them, so we danced until
morning and after breakfast all went
home. I went out and looked for the
Indians but saw no more of them. I
think they expected to catch me alone
that night and were disappointed to
find I had company.
There certainly was some commo
tion in that dugout for a few minutes.
John Roberts who lives now south
west of Hazard was a chunk of a boy
at that time. About two years ago I
asked John if he remembered it and
he said “My God I’ll never forget it.”
DEER CREEK ITEM.
We were glad to note that our
friend. Miss Minnie Plambeck won the
niano at the Booster store at Ashton
Monday. She has been working hard
so she could finish up at the first place
and she did. She had but few pat
rons to help her out for the past nine
months, and now she will put up a
free dance at Ashton in the near fu
ture.
W. T. GiBSON FILES.
W. T. Gibson has filed for the nomi
nation on the repbulican ticket, for
supervisor of this, the Fourth district.
Mr. Gibson would be a good man for
the place. He has been a resident of
'he county for a great many years
and thoroughly understands the
duties of the office. He will be a
strong candidate.
DOING A BIG BUSINESS.
The Loup City Will & Light Co.,
during the last couple of weeks have

feed to the following stations: Dun

Central City, besides several car-loads
that have gone out locally. Mr. Tay
lor reports they have several more
car loads sold to be shipped as fast

MOTHERS.
Should see that the whole family
take at least three or four doses of
a thorough, purifying system cleaning
medicine this spring. Now is the
time. The family wrill be healthier,
happier and get along better if the
blood is given a thorough purifying,
the stomach and bowels cleaned out,
and the germs of winter, accumulated
in the system driven away. Hollister’s
Rocky Mountain Tea is the very best
and surest Spring Remedy to take.
Get it at once and see the difference
in the whole family. Their color will
be better, they’ll feel fine and be well
and happy. 35c. The best spring tonic

“THIS IS TH5 LIFE."
The management of the Daddow
theater takes pleasure in announc
ing the coming of one of the latest
and best musical comedies, which
will appear at the theatre on Mon
day, February 28. “This is the Life”
promises to exceed the laughter limit
with its clean bright, wholesome
comedy. It has been many years
since the theater-going public have
had an opportunity to witness a musi
cal comedy of this kind. Halton Pow
ell, considered to be one of the largest
producers of musical comedies in the
west, has spared no expense in launch
ing this organization, selecting the
best to uphold his years of reputation.
The cast, which has been careful
ly selected, are well known to musi
cal comedy lovers, having appeared
in the larger cities with well-known
productions. The chorus of young
and pretty maidens sing and dance
gracefully. Mr. Powell’s brand pf
“girl” shows has never failed to
please the most critical audience, be
cause he is quick to anticipate the
public wants and never disappoints.
“This is the Life” which will ap
pear here for the first time comes
well recommended and judging from
the newspaper criticisms of other lar
ger cities it will be the best musical
comedy that will play here this sea
son. The scenic production is carried
complete and the costumes are said
to be magnificent. It is safe to say
that you will not go wrong when you
witness “This is the Life.”

Trefney’s brother, W. P. Taylor, and
wife, returned to their home at Al
