We are compelled to send out a
collector this week, for the purpose
of collecting delinquent subscrip
tion accounts. It is necessary to
collect up to raise money to settle
past due accounts. W. J. Fisher
will start out with a list of accounts.
He is authorized to collect from any
and all who may be owing the
Northwestern. Be ready to make
settlement in full when he comes
He will probably see yon some time
during the first half of the present
month. We are not doing this be
cause we wish to force settlement,
but because we must have money
and because we are too tied up iu
busiuess to attend to it personally.
All owing accouats of long standing
are especially requested and urged
to make settlement.
Loup City has receivad the first

CUKE FOB CORN sTAl.H DISEASE
A correspondent of the St Louis
Globe-Deinocrat states that the
death of cattle from running in the
corn stalk fields may easily be pre
vented “by giviDg one pint of sail
containing three table tableapoonstul
of turpentine, dissolved in three
pints of warm water, given in drench
ing bottle, even after the animal is
down or unable to walk. It can be
relieved in thirty minutes and per
manently cured.
“After giving the drench, rub one
half pi at of turpentine on the an>mal
just behind the shoulders. Hub tlie
turpentine ou both sides of the ani
mal and along the neck reins from
the jaw to the brisket. This will
promptly relax the nervous system
that is the cause of death. The salt j
will immediately penetrate the dry
husk iu the stomach, while the tur
pentine entering the blood will couu
eract the nerve trouble produced by
the cougestiou of the stomach,
caused by the dry stalk and hu ks
contained therein. It is not caused
by any fungus or microbe on the
stalk, as ulleged by many persons. |
“l believe the above also to be
the most reliable remedy known foi
horse colic, even in the flatulent
stage. It will relieve und perma
nently cure in thirty minutes.”—
