The North western PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT THE COUNH SEAT. OKO. K. BBHACHOTEB, Editor and Publliiher TEBM8;—*100 PER TEAR, IF PAID IN ADVANCl ' Entered at the Loup City Postofllce for trans mission through the malls as second class matter. *' The North western can now boast of the largest circulation she has had since the boom experienced in K the '80s. We have been continually adding to our list all through the present year and since January over a hundred names have been added. About three months ago we add ed two quires to our weekly ship ment, a part of whicu we sent out as samples. Now we again ado another quire anti but very few of them can he used as samples. We congratulate ourselves upon this marked evidence of an increase in circulation of which we have far surpassed our rivals, and this to when theodd9 have for several years been against us. For the past Tt >. years this county has been easting a majority populist vote of from ! 200 to 050, and as a consequence the Times has hud ueaily or quite all the pull at the sheriff and probate legal work which has, dur ing the hard times, when people could not pay off their loans or keep up their taxes, amounted to from | - $500 to $1,000 a year. Of course J these amounts vary according to the ability of the people to pay and save their land from foreclosure and sheriff sale. For all these many years all this class of work has been going to pur contemporary who ha*, in almost every instance charged all the law would allow, which is from $k to $15 per notice, according to length, most of them running about $9.50 and many of them having to he re pub lished and published again for want of bidders, thus doubling and tbiib ling the publication fee on a single descriptor * And yet with all these advantages given to our contemporary we still baye a good lead in point of circula tion which is something that we * justly feel proud of. It is unmis takable evidence that we are publish ing tbe best and most reliable news paper. , B. O. Hostetler of Kearney, is electet by a majority of 1,149. He carried Custer county by 175, Daw ion county by 200, and bis own con ty Buffalo bv 825. Hand carried Sherman county by 56 majority. Andrew Garstka, \V. O. Brown and Peter Thode, supervisors, went Satur day to view the bridges recently con structed by bridge contractor, IV. T. Gibson on the lines between Buf falo and Sherman and Custer and Sherman counties. At the Sweetwater bridge they met a bridge committee from Butfalo county and together tli* two committees closely examined the work and expressed themselves as being very much pleaesd with Mr. Gib son’s work. They expected to met a like committee from Custer county at the new' bridge on the Custer and Sher man county line but they did not put in an appearance. The Sherman coun B ty supervisors inspected the work fig,' however and reported it good. In con F versation with Mr. Garstka we learned that the county was getting some ex li cellent bridge work this year and that |i| Mr. Gibson w as highly commented on IP lus work I Michael Neice, of Bristol township, age 84 years, and Mrs. Neice his wife ago 81 years, were somewhat surprised Wednesday evening of this week, Nov ember 11th when a large crowd of friends and neighbors dropped in on them to have a good social time and to help celebrate their birthday in the gooil old fashioned way. The partv gathered at the home of Anthony MeKoen's and trom there proceeded in a body to the home of Mr. and Mrs. N eice. A splendid time was the resul t ol the gathering. This • aged couple : are old and respected citizens of Sher man county and are much esteemed by all who know them Mr. Neice's birthday came on the dafe of the party and that of Mrs. Neice comes a month later. The party, however, was given in honor of both and several beautiful and useful presents were presented to them. ToeNouTH wkstekn joins their host of friends in wishing them many more years of happiness. 830:13 TO CHICAGO AND RETURN via Burlington Route.

Xokthwestekn: Dear Sir —As l have time I though! I would (hop you h few lines 1 art ' II as usual and do hope this will fim all my friends the same. Well, we arrived in this plat* • Sept. 21 and came to anchor in our old birth Ail of my ship mates are getting foul days leaf of absence and as 1 have just got hack 1 will tell von about it. 1 went ashore on Wednesday, Oct. 7 1903 and that afternoon went to a ball game out on the side grounds which w»s played between our Ship and U. 15 navy hospital. The game lasted eigtheen innings and was won by out term by a score of 2 to 1. The next day we went up to Tokio, Japan, which is the capital city. Tokio is a very nice place hikI is finely situ ated. We vi-ited all places of any interest. First we went up to the "Pauarama” u Bazoo that covers one whole b’oek In this there is eveiy thii g imaginable. You can purchase any kind of silk you w.-.nt iu this place for a small price. Silk handkerchiefs in this place that you pay all the way from one to two dollars for in the states cost from 17 1 ,c to 25c in gold and are made from the best silk they cun get From there we went to the different po litical and government buildings; lirst was the navy department which occu pies a tine two story brick building, all the n ival authorities are here in this place. Next came the army department building which is not as tine us the navy building. Next was the High Courts, this buihlning is the finest of the lot. it is also made of brick and Is three Stories high. Next was the Low (h urts, it is ’lie same as the navy building. From (litre we went among t lie residences of the differ’-nt Councils The United States C lunell’s residence we did not see, but the ones we did see were some thing grand Nice green trees from fif ty to orm hundred feet high with filir, smooth, green lawn- below. Some have buck or stone iencee mid some have steel picket fences. We next went to the palace. Yon have to go through a wall to enter this. Just it side the gate is the palace sut rounded tiy a stream ot water. I should judgi to be about 100 feet wide m wine places. The palace has a stone wall around it. which is for tified. From hero we passed up Into the palace gardens which are the llnesi I was ever in It is green all over, even the sidewalks and driveways are green. We passed then to tin Japanese Army parade grounds On these we saw the cavalry men drilling. It is certainly a sight to see them. They have no disci pline iu their work at all, but run about on their ponies like a lot of Indian None have the same uniforms on at all II we did that in the U. S. army or navy drill we would be locked up for being crazy. From hero we went for dinner, or "chow” as it Is called in Japanese, we went to a Japanese restaurant and ord. ered a first class dinner which consisted of nine different courses, and about the fourth one I felt like stopping. The Japanese people do certainly put up some tine dinner You order a first class dinner which is one "yen'’ or fifty cents in gold and consists of from nine to sixteen courses, and 1 tell you a per son lias to starve for about a month be fore he can get away with one of them From here we went down to theatre street, and saw everything imaginable We went in a Japanese theatre and saw a Japanese play, if you cannot under stand the lingo you are out of luck, but being among the Japanese and China men so much, I am getting to be some what of a Jap mvself, and so are the rest. From here we went to the depot and returned to the city of Yokohama From the depot in Yokohama-wo took a Jinrikish.i and went up to the hotel. This vehicle is something like a cart In the states. It lias a top the same a« a buggy, but only one way It differs from our carts is instead of being drawn by » horse it is drawn by a Japanese. The Jlnrikisha men can go on a slow trot with a person all day and It never fuzes them, hot thev have to have their whis key They are great people for that. Well the next dar. the 9'h, we got hicvcle« and rode off to the race track which Is a two mile track nicelv situat ed. We rode on that for awhile and went back In around town. Theie was twenty-ore In the wheel party that dav We then went on to the hospital to see our friends. The next, day. Saturday the 10th of October, we got wheels and rode out ir.fo the country and in the af ternoon witnessed a ball game hetwo n the Yokohama Cricket, ami Athletic Club and the Tokio University The Athletic Club were Englishmen and their opponents were Japanese. It was a tine game. The Japanese can certainly olav ball, they won the game. Our team plays them tomorrow. 'Veil I must clos" boning you are well and happy a= I an). From ever your friend. C. E.
