The Northwestern PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT THE COUNTY BEAT. TSRMS;—11.00 PER TEAR. IP PAID IS ADVANCl Entered at the Loup City Postofllce for trans mission through the mails as second class mattep J. W. BURLEIGH, Ed. and Pnh. H. S. FRENCH, City Editor. It is currently reported that ex Congressman Hainer will remove to Seattle. The women of the country are de manding there shall ne i o Smoot on congress. Wm. H. Taft has been selected by the president to succeed Elibu Root as secretary of war. With the state banks showing an increase in deposits of over two mil lion dollusr above dial cf a year ago the prosperity of Nebraska shows no material decrease. Vv'by is it the populist press do not make mention of such evidences of prosperity? The west wing of the Iowa state eapitol building wad destroyed bv (ire, Monday, the loss being perhaps a half million dollars. For a time it was thought lha entire building was doomed. The tire is thugbt to have originated from an electric wire in a committee room on the third lloor The Dietrich trial commenced at Omaha Monday. He is already con victed in the opinion expressed by the populist press. But then popu list opinions in these days of their party decay do not seem to have much weight with the people. Iu all justice, would it not be much better to let the courts settle the mat ter first? The Webster boom in Nebraska is on its feet in good shape. It start ed out in Omaha last week with a monster demonstration. OHicers were chosen to conduct his campaign and an executive committee, com prised of at least one prominent re publican from each county in the state, was chosen to represent Mr Webster’s interests. Judge Wall is the member from Loup City, and no better choice could have been made. The latest report given as to the number of deaths in the Chicago state it at 591, of which but twelve rernais unidentified. Formal charg es of manslaughter have been made against the managers of the theatre by a man who lost his entire famih of wife and three children in the fire, while numerous arrests of lesser frv have also been made and every effort will be made to fix the rcsponsibilitv where it belongs The death list from the great ope ra house tire seems to show little diminution from first reports. It seems almost impossible that neailj or quite six hundred people should meet their death in a new and mod ern fire proof building right in the heart of one of our largest cities, equipped with the best safety appli ances and means of exit. There must have been the grossest criminal negligence on the part of the man agement, to say the least, and we are glad to note that Chicago will eater into the closest scrutiny as to the cause of this most horrible hu man slaughter. It is not too late, possibly, to prevent a repetition of such a calamity, if all public play, houses, auditoriums and great audi ence chambers throughout the coun try are examined into and steps tak en to insure safety to patrons. Chi cago has taken the initiatory by closing all places of amusement not provided with every means of safety and they will remain closed till such time as all requirements are entered into. New York and other cities are following suit. A big Roosevelt rally was held at Lincoln, Morday. Nebraska's slo gan will be Roosevelt and Webster, as its national standard bearers. The Russia-Japan pen pugilism is liable to develop into a real scrap Latest advices are really war like. Under the Mickey administration, the cost of running the state institu tions has been materially reduced from that of former administrations. One good reason why the governor should succeed himself. And there are hosts of others We trust other states are not get ting jealous over the great amount of advertising Nebraska is receiving on account of Senator Dietrich's sup posed lapse from the rigid rules of Uncle Sam’s do-right policy, yet we see that Senator Warren of Wyo ming has just been indicted for al leged complicity in postal frauds. This will undoubtedly give a ftesh impetus to the howling apparatus of the populistic press, what few of them that are still left to make the usual demonstrations. RAltionzil LiOGals. Master Athelbert Chase gave a party to a number of bis young friends last Saturday afternoon, Re freshments were served. Paul lleisner and Herman Lade were in from Hazard township Sat urday. Herman proposes going east in the spring, but Mr. lleisner will continue to hold down the old homestead, Nebraska being good enough for him. W. D. Hover was called to Arca dia, Saturday evening to embalm the body of VV. S. Owen, who died that day noon. The old gentlemen had been in failing health for some time. The body was taken to Grand Island for burial on Monday. Supt. 11. D. Hendrickson, J. F. Nicoson and Miss Nettie Conger re turned, Friday, from the state teach ers' association, while Prof. M. II. Mead, Miss Grace Kay and Miss Sadie Whitman returned Monday, all reporting a pleasant and profita ble time. Marvin Lee came up from Grand Island last Friday and gave this of fice a pleasant call. He and his as sociate, W. F. Cording, are having a very good trade. They returned to Grand Island Monday. lie rouud ed out his visit by ordering the Northwestern to visit him regu larly. Engineer O’Bryan gave his an nual financial visit to these head quarters last Saturday. He is talk ing of moving to the city in the spring, having sold his farm south west of town. J. B. has pulled the throttle in and out of Loup City ever since the l\ P. sent its first train in here. It is currently reported that Col. W. II. Kennedy has lost a valuable pair of winter arctics, but that he will sutler bis great loss in dignified silence rather than allow any ques 'ion as to their possible whereabouts. Later, the colonel found that a new industry had been formed with bis his property as capital stock. Michael W. Wilson, the 14-year, old son of Mrs. 11. J. Wilson of Washington township, was quite se riously injured last Saturday while driving some cattle. The horse he was riding became unmanageable anil ran close alongside a barb v. ire fence, so close that the wire cut through the boot and tw o pairs of stockings, lacerating the ankle quite badly. The rein caught on a fence post and stopped the animal, there by averting further injury which might have made the boy a cripple for life. One of the most enjoyable events of the past year was the New Year’s party given at the home of Mr. S. N. and Miss Smith and attended by about twenty-five guests. The en tertainment was fuly up to the stand ard set by these bright voting peo The first part of tin* evening was devoted to flinch and pit. Af ter supper a program was given—a most witty original storv by Mrs. H. M. Mathew, a recitation by Mrs. VV. F. Mason, songs by Mr. Mellor, Mr. Smith and others, and some amusing feats of illusion, rounded out delightful evening.

Brewer met with a painful though not serious injury Wednes day morning. While bringing a load of straw in from the country and on a sidling portion of the road about a mile iv.d a half out, the load toppled over, throwing Mr. Brewer to the frozen ground upon his face, bruising and disfiguring the nose badly and otherwise giving him a rough shaking up. His left knee seemed to receive the worst of the encounter and pained him most W. I). French, who was with him, was thrown upon the hounds of the wag on but unhurt, the team making no effort to run away or make trouble. It is fortunate the results were net worse. Isiah Vanscoy, who lives in Sher man county, on the Middle Loup, says the fine weather of the present winter reminds him very much of the winters they used to have here when he first located in Sherman county nearly thirty years ago. He says that little or no snow fell in those days, and some winters a heavily loaded wagon would breaK through the frost on the prairies ; during any of the winter months He says he has had that experience many times in hauling trees and wood from the upper country for fuel. The summer seasons at that time were very productive and they raised fine crops every year. He is still living on the farm that he homesteaded in 187G. — Ravenna News.

Contemplating the fact of this be ing Leap Year, and there having been no opportunity for eight long years past for the fair sex to exer cise their inalienable rights pre scribed by any new year capable of division by the mystic figure four, the editor of this great family jour nal feels an unusual interest in the fortunes attending the fair maids and bashful bachelors around us. Such is our sympathy with these un fortunate mortals that we have com piled a list of the eligible bachelors of this city, so far as possible, for the benefit of our lady friends, and will gladly furnish same on applica tion. To save the possible embar rassment of the bachelor brigade, we omit names of the eligibles only yielding to the temptation to hint that the bachelor table at the St. Elmo is a splendid sample of the quality of goods we advertise, and cannot be surpassed any where. They are strictly up-to-date and will stand the wear and tear incident to their acceptance. Apply early and avoid the rush. A. E.
