MANY CABINET CHANGES.
A favorite sport in Washington just
now is the remaking of the President’s
Cabinet. It seems to be taken for
granted that there will be several
changes in the personnel of Mr. Wil
son’s official family after the fourth
of March and speculation has already
marked Messrs. McAdoo, Gregory and
Houston as certain to retire from of
fice
Mr. McAdoo is said to be contemplat
ing entering banking in New York,
which it, also, is reported to have en
ticed Mr. Gregory with a chance to
associate himself with a big law firm.
Mr. Houston is said to be going back
to his place in St. Louis as chancellor
of Washington University, where a
vice-chancellor has been holding down
the job as against his chief’s return.
Mr. Redfield, too, is thought to have
outlived his usefulness as Secretary of
Commerce, though his future is un
decided by any gossip now afloat here;
while Josephus Daniel's retention as
head of the Navy Department is the
dark secret of life at the capital.
The new Cabinet is expected to
show a wider geographic distribution
than the present one, wherein the
south and New York occupy doninat
ing positions. Mr. Wilson was the
first President in many years who did
not have a New England man at his
council table and it is expected, that
this section will now receive recognit
ion. Senator Hollis of New Hampshire,
has been suggested in this connection,
and the fact that his state went for
Wilson gives some force to the idea.
But, inasmuch as New Hampshire has
a republican governor who would
name a Republican successor to Mr.
Hollis in the case of his translation
to the Cabinet, it is unlikely that tie
Granite State will have such an honor, j
even though the Senate still has a
Democratic majority of twelve. Presi-;
dent Harry Garfield of Williams Col- [
lege is looked upon here as much more
likely to be struck by Cabinet
lightning if a 'Yankee is to be taken.
Mr. Garfield, though a nominal repub
lican, supported Mr. Wilson, whose
son-in-law, Francis B. Sayre, is Mr.
Garfield’s assistant and might be in
line for promotion to the presidency
of the college in case his superior
should get a portfolio. This consid
eration may not deter the President
from selecting Mr. Garfield.
Senator Walsh of Montana is said to
be a probable cabinet member as a rep
resentative of the West, and in his
case there is no situation such as milit
ates against Senator Hollis, Senator
Walsh was in charge of the Chicago
headquarters of the Democracy in the
campaign and, like others of the faith
ful, he doubtless feels that he should
have a reward. Henry Morgeuthan,
also, is in the class of “deserving dem
ocrats” who labored in the vineyard
during the recent period of harvesting
Democratic votes. Mr. Morgenthan is
i —^_
believed to have some kind of a
promise outstanding from the Presi
dent following his resignation of the
Constantinople -embassady to take up
campaign work, and the wise ones look
for him to realize on his expectations.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather last Sunday, we had the

have had seventy-five more. We are
glad that so many are willing to brave
a storm to attend.
Next Sabbath will be Church Day.

a history of which we are not asham
ed, and we extend a cordial invitation

In the evenng at 7:30 the Great
Commission of the church, will be giv
en in Stereopticon views.
The subject for Christian Endeav

This is an interesting subject. Come
and see which one of these jobs be
longs to you.
Pay no attention to the weather.
come on anyway, we will have it warm
on the inside, even if it is cold out. A
welcome to all. ,
BAPTIST CHURCH.
We had a fairly good audience last
Sunday morning in spite of the inclem
ent weather. The evening service
was not so well attended on account
of the storm, but had a very interest
ing Young Peoples meeting, led by
Lillian Wall and Bessie Conger.
Bro. Jacobs of the Baptist church,
Council Bluffs, Iowa, gave an inter
esting talk to the young people. The

METHODIST CHURCH.
Attendance was extra good for a
cold day last Sunday morning. There
were over 170 at Sunday-school. In
the evening Rev. Mr. Smithberg,
pastor of the Swedish Mission church,
brought us a most wholesome mes
sage.
The supper and bazaar last Friday
night was a great success in every
way. The ladies of the Aid Society
are very grateful to all who by their
help and presence contributed to make
the occasion a success. We heard
many complimentary things concern
ing the fine supper. The number
taking supper was a record breaker.
We have not learned the exact amount
of cash received but it was about $225.
It was the biggest affair of the kind
we ever attended. The ladies deserve
a most hearty vote of thanks for their
hard work for the church. We ap
preciate it. And say, we appreciated
that chicken pie. The memory of it
will abide forever. We never stopped
at one plateful, Oh no. The fancy
work was fine but in our humble esti
mation the chicken pie was the “finest
yet.”
The meetings at Wiggle Creek have
been postponed for a short time. The
Farmer’s Institute there and other ar
rangements made it seem advisable to
begin a little later. Sermons by the
pastor in Loup City church next Sun
day. At 10:30 “Glorifying in the
Cross.” At 7:30 the postponed ser
mon "Excuses." Sunday-school at
11:45. We think we have the livest

everybody a 6:30. Topic, “The con
ditions to Answered Prayers.” Lead
er, Miss Klea McNulty.
We will be glad to have you bring
your family and friends to these ser
vices. Come to church next Sunday.

If you have plenty of rough feed for cattle you will find
no kind of stock more profitable than good quality two
years old steers like these. They are high grade, mostly
Shorthorn types, and have good growtliy frames and will
make the man who buys them a good profit if sold off the
grass next July. Xo cattle you can buy will pay better
for the feed. They will eat or can be handled with less
trouble or shelter, and remember they are ready for mar
ket earlier than ajiy other class of cattle you can buy.
For surest and largest profits buy two-year old steer*,
j ^ e w*^ seU these cattle in bunches to suit purchasers and
