The Northwestern PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY A.T THE COUNTY HEAT. GEO. E. BKJiSCHOTEK, Editor and Publisher TERMS:—*1.00 P1R T1CAH. IT PAID IR ADVANCI Entered at the Loup City Postofllee for trans mission through the mails as second claas matter. KOK VIIK F.tRMKK Suppose a local merchant makes 12,500. profit on Lis years sales. On this he will pay out for home, taxes and other necessary expenses at least one half. The same goods bought of the mail order houses at their price would give them a profit of at least 11,000., and what good would it do the town or county in which jou live? How much taxes do these houses pay in your county or jour state? How much poultry or vegetables do they buy from your farm? If these houses could sell all the goods in your county, where would you go wheu you went to town? The saloon would be the only loafing place. A town is no town without live and prosperous stores. Your town brings you a reputa tion away from home. Your mer chants make the reputation of a town.—Ex. If the farmers and some of our town people would seriously con sider the question of how much taxes our home merchants actually pay into the treasury of Sherman county and then stop to consider, as they must know, that, the catalogue houses do not help one dime, in this or any other enterprise, we believe that there would uot be so much sending ofl' for goods Mr. Gasteyer tuforms us that he pays about $150.00 yearly for taxes We have no doubt but thut Messrs Hayhurst, Reed, Odendabl, Chase aud others, pay even more as they have farms and other real es'ate. But it is safe to say that we have, at least, eight merchants whose taxes would average $150.00 a year, or or $1,200,00 in the agurigate, and that the other smaller merchandise trade would add to it #800.00 mote. From this we observe that not less than $2,000.00 is paid auually as taxes into the treasury of Sherman county by Loup City merchants, be sides they contributed, at various times, hundreds of dollars by pop ular subscritpion to build a cream ery, a grist mill and to establish oth er enterprises. They are ever doing something by way of assisting tn the up building of our town and county, and yet they are to be hoy cotted in the interests of the catalo gue houses who never pay a cent of tax but who get your money, while your home merchants gel your butter and eggs and your please wait until after harvest trade. Is there any wonder that local merchants often tail when people will become so blind to their own and their neighbors best interests? The murder case of the state against Mrs. Lena M. Little, charged with the murder of her husband, and which has been occupy ing the atteBtion of the district court cf Buttler county, at David City for the past three weeks, has at last terminated, and the finding of the jury is to the effect that the accused is guilty of murder in the first de gree and fixes the penalty to he life imprisonment. There remains some doubt iu the minds of many as to her guilt. The relatives of the de ceased husband still claim that she is innocent. The evidence upon which she was convicted is uurely circumstancial and a great many woo believed her guilty were actually surprised at the verdict, as by fol lowing the testimony closely it was considered hardly sufficient 10 re move the doubt which they enter tained. Counsel for the defense has made a motion for a new trial and judge Good has set March 30th as a date to hear argument on the motion. The members of the legislalure should look well to their fences.

Un tfi this lime an even dozen bills bave pass both houses and been signed by tbe governor and thirty six data of the session has gone, among these is a bill repeal ing the wolf bounty scalp, Revenue bill is expected back from the printer ou Wednesday and the bouse will probably spend the rest of the week on the measure and perhaps longer, so it will not reach tbe senate before uext week. The salary appropriation has been intro duced, and it has been chipped iu a few places and added to in others so it canies a larger amount than the past two years. A newspaper tight in this city has resulted in a bill, known us the Bur gess bill, being introduced and passed by the house. Some sympathy lias been created for the bill, a* they claim it will help the country printer aguinst the large concerns in getting county printing. As a matter of tact, the preseut Jaw was enacted for ihe benefit of the country printer, ond the proposed law would soon de prive hint from securing any of the county printing which he is now get ting, and would give the large estali lishments the entire control of all the county job work in the state. The Brady bill, to require railroads to provide track facilities for indi viduals, companies or corporations for shipping grain, stock or other products, has been amended bj Sen ator Wall, givirg ibe shipper many advantages not contained in the brad\ bill, and *s now on general tile in the senate with fair prospects of its pussage. Senator Wall had the pleasure of dismantling a bankers bill to repeal the law giving the days of grace on notes and commercial paper. He is alse closely watching all movements intending to take from the common people 9nv of their rights, and is proving his loyal to the farmer and his invested rights. While the judge does not say much, when lie rises there is no questioning his po sition on the matter at issue. His arguments are forcifnl and easily understood. A good revenue measure will I e passed which wilt take the state out of debt within six years; less than half the employees are in both houses than the fusio .ists had when they run the legislature, and economy in every branch of the state government is the rule and practice. A new judicial appointment bill has been introduced in the house, cutting the district judges from twenty-eight to twenty one. The twelfth is composed of Dawson, Bulfalo, Sherman Custer, Grant, Logan, Blaine, Hooker, Thomas and McPherson counties and the unor ganized territory adjoining. 'there is not much prospect of its becom lDg a law. The Luddcn relief commission of 18'J3 4 and 5 is being settled up by turning into the stale treasury some three hundred dollars yet in the hands of their local treasurer, J. II. MeClay. The octopus, the railroad and a dozen or more of heinious kind of lobyista which were always annoying the fusionists by their persistant presence; have desided it was not worth while to try to iofluance a re publican legislature. Even the ho tels complain that this legislature is not drawing the crowd, either in employers, office seekers or lobbyists that the fusionists used to gather about them. Senator Wall was among the prominent speakers last Friday in the memorial services in memory of the late J. Sterling Morton. Noryb. Did Last Work on Campanile. It Is said that the last artist who painted the Campanile at Venice be fore it fell was an American, F. K. M. Rehn, who spent last summer in Ven ice. He did a good ueal of work in the famous city on the Adriatic, which will he placed on view in New York this winter. How He Looked. An enthusiastic sightseer in London was telling her friend that she had been fortunate enough to get a good view of Lord Kitchener. "Ah,” said the friend, “I suppose he’s a very bellicose man?" “Oh, no," wits the reply, "quite slim, I assure you." TRAINED TO EE CQLCNISTS.
