THE 4 ORTH WESTERN PUAMSHED EVERY FRIDAY AT THE COUNTY HEAT. QUO. E. HKNSCHOTEK, Eilltor anit PnMIther TEKMS:—U.OO PER TEAR. IF PAID IE ADVANCE Entered at the Loup City Postofflce for trana mission through the mails as second claas matter. A bill has passed the house ap propriating 50,000.00 to sink eight wells for location of oil or gas, the places being Lexington, Chad run. Culbertson, Columbus, Ponca and Omaha. The final exchange of the Cuban reciprocity treaty has been effected by the ingenuity of Secretary Hay, in advance of the receipt ot the copy signed by President Palma, this course being necessay because the period set for the exchange of rati fications expired on Mar. III. The copy signed by the President and Secretary Hay was banded to Min ister Quesada and, advices having been received from minister Squiers that the copy signed by president Palma was on the way to Washington, a protocol was signed providing that it sbould be filed with the state department as soon as received. The feilow who introduced a bill to cut down the fee on legal state printing sbouldhave inserteda clause ■flaking it a pcnatly for a subscriber tu get in arrearages on' bis subscrpt ion and then jump tbe couDtv with out making settlement witli tbe prin ter. It is tbe legal work generally that enables a country newspaper to live, although we confess that we hnv’nt been getting much for tbe past several \ ears under tbe popul ist local government. Hut with tbe republicans at the seat of state gov eminent we ought to get a band out occasionally, and we dontsee why tbe state should Dot pay legal rates as well as tbe poor unfortunate who has his land advertised at sheriffs s de. The new revenue bill is now a law in fact, having been signed bv tbe governur last Saturday morning. It does not carry an emergancy clause and will not go into effect until Oct ober 1st. The governor is said to be a strong friend of the bill. While these may be a few objectionable features about it, yet as a whole it is a good bill, and well calculated to raise sufficient revenue to meet all appropriations and to create a surplus suffieiient to meet, in a few years, tbe indebtedness of the state. Under its provisions a county assessor is to be elected next fall, who will, in conjunction with the County board, appoint as many depu ties as may be required to do tbe werk ir, tbe given time, as provided for in tbe bill. With the closeof the third quarter of the fiscal year, on Mar. 31, the government’s finances showed a most prosperous condition. Re ceipts have exceeded expenses for nine months by upwards of $153,000, 000 and the prediction is made that by the close of the fiscal year the excess will have reached $50,000, ©00. This showing is particularly gratifying in view of the fact that during the same period the expenses of the government have exceeded those of a year ago by $30,000,000. The increase in receipts is due to increased importation, most of the growth being in manufacturers’ sup plies. The available cash balance in the Treasury is $72,000,000, in addition to wnich there is a credit in the national banks of $150,000,000 in round numbsrs. Secretary Shaw’s scheme for refunding the national dobt is meeting with unexpected suc cess, upwards of $.30,000,000 worth of the higher interest bonds having been offered in exchange for the 2 per cent, long time securities. brother Haskell of the Ord Quiz who has been taking an extended trip through the South, and who look his wife along to keep him from missing the train, returned home last week. While away he wrote some very interesting letters which have appeared from week to week in the Quiz. Since bis letura he publishes the following paragraph: '•Since our return from the South the question i? often asked whether we found anywhere a better country than Nebraska or whether we would like to live anywhere in the south. Now the Quiz man did not go south for the purpose of berating or un duly lauding any country through which it wns our fortune to travel. We went to see and hear all we could that would enlighten us to the country down in Dixie. Our con viction is, as we have already said, that the south is a great undevel oped country, which some day will be the meeca of the poor man now. There are possibilities there for great development and that of course means wealth, but we believe we violate no confidence when we say that the south, under present con ditions is not the place for any m'an who has or can buy or rent a home in Nebraska. It would bo unwise for a Nebraska former to leave the advantages of the north for such as the south can now afford, and espec ially for him to take his family; there. If you are doubtful as to the j advisability of remaining in Neb raska a trip through the south will make you ashamed of yourself for entertaining such a doubt. The south has a bright future, as we have said, but it is not for the man of small meaDs under the present circumstan ces. The opening that the south now offers is for the man of capital who will be wise in the selection of his investments down there and will be willing to wait for a few years for bis returns to begin to come in.” LINCOLN LETTER. Lincoln, Neb., April 6th, 1903. The house came to a happy con clusion on the vexed question of sugar bounty' claims. After a long discussion as to whether or not the claims ought to be paid nu agree ment was reached to confer juris diction on the district court to try the case on its merits. In case the sugar people prove the justice of their claim, aod the court renders judgment aginst the state, the next legislature will have nothing to do but pay the judgment, tbo matter being thus divested of all political features. The amount of the claim, ns presented to the legislature, was about $47,000. Oue of the bills which went to its death a few days before the close was the “Burgess printing bill," which was attempted to be pushed IhrougU as a piece of factional spite work. Very few of the county pub lishers of the state favored it, and in fact most of them viewed it with open suspicion. The bills to cut down the rates of legal printi> g and publication of constitutional amend ments, which easily went through the House, were also rejected by the Senate, in which body tlie county publishers seemed to bavethe strong est friends. These are some of the interesting bills passed up to this date: II. Ii 18, providing a seal for county treasurers; H. It. 70, the Itamsey elevator bill; H. R 100, appropri ating $12,000 for the establishment of five normal schools; H. R. 136, providing a rate of 2 per cent, for the deposit of county money, and permitting the doposit outside the county where local hanks refuse to pay interest; H. R. 166 repealing the wolf bounty law; II. R. 167, asking coogress to pass a law called for direct vote in the election of U. 8. Senators; II. R. 344, the general revenue bill; S. F. 35, reducing the property qualification of recogn ized normal schools to $50,000; S. F. 6‘.t, for the destiuction of prairie dogs; S, F. 117, asking Congress to oppose the Dietrich land leasing bill. Up to Saturday the two houses had passed 54 bills. Of these the governor vetoed three. Additional Local*. Go to tbe Morgan barber shop for first class work. H. Stnelser, one of the leading m<i chants of Ashton called at this office Wednesday.

There is no remedy In the woild equal to hodol Dyspepsy Cure for curing Indigestion, dyspepsy and all stom ach disorders. Mrs. Mary S.

Kodol digests what you eat and makes the stomach sweet.—Oden dahl Iiros. SKVEIIR ATTACK OF OBIT Cured by One Motile of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. "When I had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) I actually cured myself with one bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy”, says Frank W. Perry, ed itor of the Enterprise, Shortsvllle, N. Y. "This is the honest truth. I at times kept from cough I Dg myself to pieces by taking a teaspoontul of this remedy, and when the coughing spell would come on at night I would take a dose and it seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and I would go to Rlecp perfectly free from cough and Ms accompanying pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most ugreeable surprise Is putting It very mildly. I had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because 1 had never tried it tor such a purpose, but it did, and it seamed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only lie of less du. ration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had not used the contents or one bot. lie before Mr. Grip had bid mo adieu.” For sale by Odendahl Bros.
