class matter.
Again tin? editor of Northwestern has
called attention to the supreme cour
in the case ol Hall county vs. ex
Treasurer Thompson And again he
says the case is practically the same
as the Peoples State bank case of this
oounty. The facts ate just as we h •<!
expected. The case sighted bv th<
Northwestern was brought in 1890 and
the depository la w now appearing in tb*
statute bunks of Nebraska was amend
ed In 1897 und tbe Sherman county
money was placid in the People’s State
Bank under the present depository law .
—Times-In dependent.
Mow Mr. Brown will jou tell us
how it is possible to deposit money
in a bunk in itie year 1895 uuder »
law that was enacted in 1897.
And jet after jour attack upon Mr
Pearson who gave up all be had,
to re imburse the county, jou offer
such rot in defeuse of your own popu
list officer, who did not sacrifice a $
to make good his shortage. Read.
The above articie from the Times
was published io answer to what we
said about the People’s State Bank
ease and the loss of $5,00^ of Sher
man county’s money there 'i. The
Times sajs that the case sight
ed by us was brought in 1890 which,
was true, and the “depository law
now appearing on the statute books
of Nebraska was amended in 1897,’
which is also true, “and the Sher
man countj- money was placed in
the People's State bank under the
present depository law. ’ This is not
true, but absolutley false, and if the
Times man had taken a little time
and pains he would find that infor
mation was filed against Albert T.
Nichols and John H. Wilson on
April. 2nd, 1895, for receiving money
after the bank was Known to be
insolvent. He would have learn
ed, ir be has forgotten, that it wn»
at that time that Sherman county
lost its money, in the People's State
Bank, and that, then was the time
for our reformers? who have betn
loDg on “windy pretentions”, and
short on fulfilling their promises, to
have made themselves a lasting rec
cord by going after tht County Treas
urer and his bondsmen, and have
collected the amount then due the
county, as did the authorities of Hall
county. They collected something
like #13,000.00 from their defaulting
treasurer, and his bondsmen, which
action the Times man says was be
gun in 1890. That beiDg true why
was it that the autborites of this
county did not begin an action iD
1896, or even before that time, as
Sherman county’s money was
squandered in 1895. And the same
law was on the statute bocks in 1895
as in 1896.
1 be thing for the big Injun in the
Times office to do is to quit try ing to
mislead its readers, in this matter,
and tell them the truth as it is, and
as the records show them tw be. And
if he realy was in earnest about his
reform, when this money was lost,
would have placed the following at
the head of every editorial he put in
his paper, “Mike, put it back”, and
would hare kept it there, until com
plied with.
The 1897 law is uoexcu9e for you
whatever, as you had nearly two
years to have commenced the action
for recovery, before the 1897 law
was passed. And besides this there
is not one syllable in that law reliev

Dear Sir:— Permit me to axpreHs to you ray
gratitude for your kindness In compliment
ing my work and for jour praise of me as a
dentist. I agree with you that it pays to ail
vertiae for I have had more ihan I could do
for the past few week*, and have worked as
late as one o'clock at night to do untlnised
work for my patients, so they would not hi
disappointed when they called for it. and as
soon as 1 have time am! my practice Is no’
so rushing 1 will have you do some advertising
forme. Thanking you again 1 have the hon
or to be. Yours Truly,
L. VV. Marcy.
We aro pleased to note the appreciative
spirit in which Mr Marcy recic ves the com
plimctitary notice of his work, lie says. "I
agree with you that it pays to advertise " but
fails to state whether be means free locals or
pay ads. We have only one wav of detenu
tiling this and conclude that it must tie the
former as the above letter when relieved
was not accompanied by 'any of the needful
However this free discussion i» of great bene lit
if it is all at our expense. It gives the people
to understand that we have one of the liesi
dentists in the state and that they need not
go farther than Loup City to Arid him. Give
the Honorable Professor Dr. W. L. Marcy,
best dentist in the Loup country, your utten

Editor HknscHOTBR:
We were somewhat s irpr Ised at your sour
rllous assau t un the liivenna Creamery Co.
in your issue of the llth. ami we ask thm
you will allow us to correct seme misstate
meats contained In that article. You say that
we use a liberal amount of printers ink w tiich
we aever pay for. Now you eertemiy can not
mean this statement to be taken seriously, tor
it is the farthercst possible from our principles
and rule of conduct. And now in regard to the
article you spoke of the writer himself
brought that into your office about two months
ago, with the request that you insert it in your
local columns, no request was made for any
thing oomplimentery, and after you looked
through the copy we asked if you made any
charge for inserting such articles aud you said
you would put it in as a sort of compllmentery
and make no charge for it. and right at this
point is where things must have got balled up
for I remember of leaving the Nohthwksi khn
office in somewhat of n confused state of mind,
and pondering on the cheapness and vanity of
this worlds pomp and glory, and I was in no
way relieved of my embarrassment by the re.
collection that just the previous week I had
paid the Ord Quiz and the Ord Journal each
lire cents a lino to publish a similar article In
their local columns, hut since then the convic
tion has been strengthening In my niiad that
‘ not all men are equally merslnary” and now
liro. Btnxehoter 1 hope you do nut intend to
reprove the foundation of my faith again.
Kespaetfully.
C. A. CLARK
Mr. Clatk's statement of the case forcibly
reminds us of the way in which the pops
garbeled the statements of Hob Ingersoll
when they quoted him as saying that "be
believed in the issue of the silver dollar," He
did say so, but added “that he wanted that
silver do.lar to be worth a dollar and to
be in a position to say X know that my re
deemer llveth."
Now Mr. Clark did bring that notice to this
office and request us to publish it aud did ask
us if there was any charges on such notices,
but in his epistle studiously avoided adding
what ho further said befoie we answered
the question that “the Iiavenna News and
other papers did such tvork as a matter of
news." and said to, that "if we would insert
the weekly market report of butter, butter
fat and eggs, as a matter of news he would
have them brought in weekly. Now didn t
you Mr. Clark?
In answer to his question and suggestion we
said that the article which he wanted pub
lished was more in the nature ef an advertis
ment for the company but that we would pub
lish it this time, ac a compllmentery. And
even after this he did not manifest any deapo
sitien to pay for it, and left the office as hur
riedly as he came.
He say* he went away “In a confused state of
mind." Well, we think from the tone of his
letter he is still in the same condition.
We will give him credit for one thing how
ever. And that is that he says that he did put
up to the Ord Quiz and Journal
AN OPEN LETTER.
To the Real Estate Dealers of Loup City.
My Dear Dealers:—We have bucn thinking
of late how nice it would be for you ail. each
and every one of you, to have your names
come before the people in print ia the local
newspapers with printers ink, stamped
upon pure white print paper, that is in a bus
iness way Of course such a things would be
a ourosity in this town for it has been a num
ber of years since such a thing lias happened,
but we feel sutistltd that the people would get
used to It in a little while and we know that
the printer would appreciate it.
Now if you will carefully read our columns
you will see thut the manufacturers of the
famous pills. DeWltt's Little Early Risers, sold
by Odendahl Bros., is constantly before the
People, and it is safe to say thut this llrm is
coining money by the nail keg full. If they
can thus successfully put these little pills
upon the market it would stand to reason
thut you could advertise your thousands of
acres of land and reap a harvest, after paying
the printer, that would net you a rain barrel
full.
Did you ever stop to think, my dear dealers,
what a lonesotre, dreary, unbuslncss like, one
horse town this would be without the local
newspaper?
Did you ever stop to think that your bus
iness would not amount to a hill of beans if the
local newspapers did not report weekly, the
enterprise Improvements, and Dusiness of our
town and county?
Did you ever stop to think that tint calandt r
advertising which you are putting out does net
reach the people in the east who are wanting
homes, but are only hung up around town and
in the homes of our local people as a sort of a
cromo, and only looked at on Sundays or
legal holidays, and Is less useful than a Jaynes
ulmanio?
Did you ever stop to think that the money
paid out for those enmos would better be
spent wilh the home printer. That it would
give him heart, means and courage to sing
songs ol praise of our country, its enterprise
and developments':
Did you ever stop to think thut it might be
a good thing when you make a sale of a piece
of land to lneldeutly write a little notice
about it and at the same time mention the fact
hat you have other good lam's for sale uni
speak of the posh and enterprise of the busi
ness in your Hue. and then hand it to the
editor, accompanied with $3.00, more or less ms
the circumstances will allow. Of course you
will not he expected to all rush in at once.’
Don't expect the printer to do all this for noth
i ig. can't do it. His circumstances v.,.n’i
permit of It. It will help to make a ii t ly

you suy that you don't believe in advertising,
well then whutdo you believe in? You surely
don't believe that vou could have a good town
without a newspaper, and you surely don't
believe that the newspaper cun exist on wind.
Now iny dear dealers we wish you to under

because we have done it for years, hut you

ALL CASES OF
QEAFNESS OR HARD HEARING
ARE NOW CURABLE
by our new invention. Only those born deaf are incurable.
HEAD NOISES CEASE IMMEDIATELY.
F. A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS:
Baltimore, Md., March jo, igot.
Gentlemen : — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give yon
a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion.
About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost
my hearing in this ear entirely.
I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num
ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of "this city, who told me that
only an operation could help me. and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would
then cease, but the lv ring in the affected ear would be lost forever.
I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treaW
ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, aaa
to-day. after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank yon
heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours,
!•'. A. WURMAN, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md.
