FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT.
A. C. Longneeker. of St. Paul, was j
instantly killed at 9:30 Monday morn
ing on the road three miles northwest
of Ashton, near the school house in j
Nc. SC, wnen .he car he was
driving tunred turtle, pinning him
underneath and breaking his neck.
Mr. Longneeker was collector for
the International Harvester Co., and
made his home at St. Paul, moving
out from Omaha about six months
ago. He is survived by a wife and
one child.
The accident as witnessed by Henry
Dethlefs. who hurried to the scene,
and finding that life was extinct, noti
fied Coroner Main at once. In all
probability the accident was caused
by Mr. Longneeker trying to avoid
a mud hole in the center of the road.
It appeared that he had turned to the
side of the road and in doing so had
lost control of the car. The road
was soft and slippery, rain falling
the night before. A coroner’s inquest
was held at the scene of the tragedy,
the jury bringing in a verdict about as
the facts are stated above.
In this accident, like several others
that have occurred near here during1
the past year, it occurred on a level
piece of road at a place that it would
appear to be perfectly safe.
THE CHURCHES.

ings will be observed. At the same

Ail those who wish to be received at
this service will please meet the ses
sion at the church at 10:00 o’clock.
We want to urge all those who
made a profession during the meet-'
ings to get into the church, and we ■
also urge all those who are willing
to accept Christ, even though you did
not come out in the meeting, to get
into the church.
In the evening the pastor will
preach. There will be special music ■
at both services. We want a big *
chorus choir. Come and help.
The annual meeting and Fellowship
Supper and also reception for new

arrived the first of the week for a
visit at the P. E. Hansen home.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
The delay in securing returns from
the primary election over Dawes and
every other county in the state shows
the necessity of one important amend
ment to tile primary law, and that
would be to have a double number of
judges and clerks of election—one
set to take in and record the vote and
the other to count the ballots every
hour during the day. This would
shorten the duties and enable the re
turns to be counted and finished with
in a few minutes after the last vote
is polled. The cost would be no great
er than at present and the tedious
hours of one set of clerks and judges
cut squarely in two. and the satisfac
tion of the voters greatly enhanced.
This method is employed in a great
many states and why it has not been
incorporated into the election laws
of Nebraska would be difficult to de
termine, unless by oversight and un
thoughtfulness. The matter should
be remedied at the next session of
the legislature.—Crawford Courier.
WHO KILLED CHARLES?
Who killed Charles Bryan? “I," j
said John Maher: ‘‘1 killed the b’ar.'
easy as Oyin,.” Who'll dig his grave?
“1.” said Neville: “on yonder hill 111
dig his grave.” Who'll toss him in?
"I.” said Art Mullen, sober and sullen:
"I'll toss him in.” Who will forget?
“I,” said Dick Met.. “I will forget: j
none will forgive him.”—Bixby.
WORK PROGRESSING.
Work on the new high school build- j
ing is progressing rapidly. Tlie trees :
that were recently donated by citi-,
zens of the town have been put out.
The building and grounds will present
a beautiful appearance a.nd for many
years will be the joy and pride of
every citizen of Loup City.
THE “AUCTION BLOCK.”
A new serial story “The Auction ’
Block” will soon commence in The
Northwestern. This story was written
by Rex Beach and is considered his
masterpiece. The story was run as a
serial in the Cosmopolitan magazine
some time ago and is highly spoken
of by all the big daily newspapers. |
Watch for the opening chapters in
The Northwestern.
NEW TELEPHONE DIRECTORY.
The Sherman County Telephone Co.
will soon put out a new telephone
directory for the Loup City exchange.
The directory is now being printed at
The Northwestern office and will be
completed within a week.
All roads lead somewhere, but with
many the road to success begins and
ends with a blind trail.

Among the delinquent subscribers
of a certain country weekly was an

on having a receipt.

convenient or feasible to so accommo
date him and an argument ensued.

exclaimed:
"It may be all right for yez. but hovr
about me? Supposin’ I die; when I
reach the gate of Hi wen, old St. Pe'er
will say. ‘Pat. have you paid all your
debts, includin' your subscription to
