It may puzzle some of our teachers
to tell us what is meant by "N. T."
For their information we call atten
tion to the geography and the history
of this country at tha time. It will
be seen that this was known as the
"Northwest Territory." The fort
had been the property of the govern
ment for seven years preceding that
time. Up to the purchase of the Fort
by the government, In 1849, the site
had passed from one fur company to
another .and the last purchasers were
Milton Sublette, James Bridgor and
three other fur hunters. These men
in company with the American Fur
Company rebuilt the old trading post
in 1836 at an expenditure that was
sold to the government on the date
given here abore.

substances, which might under the
proper conditions have caused disease
and possible death.
Scottsbluff does not wish to take
chances and for thin reason the mo
tion introduced by Councilman
Bowen was unanimously carlred.
This motion is to the effect that the
city attorney be authorized to prepare
an ordinance prohibiting the sale of
any patent medicine by peddlers from
house to house, this also Including
court plasters, or alleged "home
remedies," or to sell the same from
street corners or by hawking the
sum.' in a public manner. The meas
ure, however, is not to affect the giv
ing of samples of patent medicines
from drug stores, when such samples
:tre distributed at the store itself
and under the supervision of the
proprietor or his agents.

Scottsbluff Star-Herald:
With the country full of German
spies, and with daily reports in the
papers of grief caused by either alien
enemies or German sympathizers, the
Scottsbluff city fathers have become
thoroughly Imbued with the spirit of
the old adage which has it that "an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure." In consequence, at the spe
cial meeting of the council last Mon
day night, the city attorney was in
structed to draft an ordinance which
will prohibit the chance for "skuldug
gery" on the part of German agents
so far ss the attempt to poison or
spread disease to the people of the
city is concerned through house to
house convassing or the distribution
of "samples." At least, if the pro
posed measure will not put an abso
lute stop to the practice, it will make
It so unpleasant for thos who at
tempt It that they can hardly afford
to take chances when a stiff line and
perhaps something more severe will
be their portion.
The matter was given some discus
sion, durlrsr which time several re
cent instances of poisoning through
the medium of court plaster which
was pert 'led from house to house,
and whi. h left a track of disease
and death In its track In several of
the eastern cities. Investigation by
the authorities of those cities prored
that the plaster had been purposely
Infected with disease germs.
Articles of food hare also been
distributed in many cities, purporting
to be sent out by reliable firms. On
Investigation the firms in question
knew nothing of the matter nor had
thev authorised such distribution and
these food "samples" wen also found
to contain mora or leas ueeienou

Yesterday afternoon Melbeta was
saved a lynching by a few cool heads
who rescued Henry Munweiler from
a hundred infuriated men and taking
h Imto Goring for safe keeping.
Munweiler, who is a German-Russian,
has at different time, it is said,
expressed contempt for this govern
ment and his sympathy for the
Fatherland and especialy for his Sa
tanic Majesty Kaiser Bill.
About three weeks ago Munweiler
got rather too strong in his remarks
against this country while talking In
the barber shop and got off with only
a warning.
A few days ago he Is reported to
have expressed a wish that the
Kaiser would wipe up Europe and
then come to America and treat the
American women as the woman in
Belgium and France had been
treated. This last statement was too
much for t' e good citizens of Melbeta
and about a hundred men of that
vicinity called upon Munweiler
Thursday afternoon. A swinging
party was freely talked of but a few
of the pooler heads prevailed upon
the crowd to let the law take its
courao and Munweiler was taken to
Gering and lodged in Jail.
When he saw the seriousness of
the situation he denied the state
ment attributed to him. but admitted
he had talked too much and weeping
ly begged to be let off and promised
to cause no more trouble. However,
he Is to be given a hearing today be
fore County Council of Defense and
he will be fortunate if he gets off with
as little as Internment during the
period of war.
Munweiler has not been the only
man who has been making treasable
utterances against this country and
If there are others whose hearts are
inclined to sympathize with the
enemy they will do well to keep
their thoughts to themselves. The
temper of American people is
aroused. .
