Will Speaker House Refuse It!
The present legislature seem- to
be having strenuous times to keen
employes from robbing tt*e state by
getting on the pay roll for a few
days mo’e than ac'ually put in, and
they must report each morning at a
designated place in order to get the
said day credited to them. Econo
my seems to be the watchword with
these wise men, and if its a good
thing with employes, it must be a
good thing for the solons themselves.
In fact The Northwestern is im
i pelled to assist in this matter of
saving to the state by suggesting
where a ittle leakage of #360 can
be saved to the treasury. The con
s itutiou provides that members of
the legislature shall receive naught
but per diem and mileage, and yet
j at each session a member of each
house is elected to preside over that
august body for which they draw
from the treasury $3 per day, or
f 180 each. Father Rouse, as new
ly elected sp- 'ker of the house, bas
made economy his watchword. Will
he show his faith bv his works, and
practice the economy he preaches
by refusing the f 180? We have
faith to believe he will.

(' C Sheldon went to Loup City to
day near which place he will i^k after
his fa; ms. The Sheldons own over
four thousand acres of 1 nd in Sherman
county, which lies in four separate
i ranches, and they have great faith in
the increase of value of their property.
In the past eiglreen months land has
double 1 in value, carpenters are rushed
with orders beyond what they can
accomplish, and building brick is almost
at a premium. Over two miles of brick
walks have been laid in Loup City this
summer and a number of brick build
ings have been erected. There are a
number of Platte county men interest
ed m lands in Sherman county, among
them the Sheldons. Becher. Hoeken

Keep History Perpendicular.
Belerring *o the article in our last is
su . enti led "Keep History Per e i ii -
J ular," vrc are led t > believe there may j
I have been inace rac es in s.ld article j
whether through misunderstanding or
misleading information we are unable
to say. Th‘- article in question was
called forth l>y one in the Times Inde
pendent of the preceding week on the
| same subject, which appeared some
what prejudicial ou the one side, hence
we sought out the leanings the other
w ay. While chat.i g in the office of
H. M. Mathew, the other day. the mat-'
| ter coining up, that gentleman showed
us documentary evidence differing quite
■ materially fr m some of the statements
we made, and in ord*-r to “keep history
j perpendicular^ so far as our under
standing goes, and with a steadfast pur
pose to t'eat all persons and ail matters
fairly, we give lat r statements. In
our article we stated the Burlington
railroad stared a case in the Federal
Court to enjoin the collection of ihe in
terest on the irrigation bonds. The
incuru iu w tv, it srruis, iiiBieau,
starred against Loup City township by
the National Life Insurance company,
of Montpelier, Vermont, to coll* ct the
unount due on certain bonds which
had b-en issued by the township for the
purpose ot constructing an irrigation
ditch, nd that the railroad was not a
party, according to the papers in the
case, shown us b\ Mr. Mathew, includ
ing the contr ct under the seal of Loup
t ity township, dated April 15. 1001. em
ploying attorneys to defend the action,
which was signed by Geo. W. Hunttr,
i township clerk. We had no desire to
do anv injustice to Mr. Mathew, who
has always treated us in a friendly and
I gentlemanly manner We simply <e
sired, after seeing the article in the
Times Independent, to get at the facts
in the case, and solicit -d from the other
: side of the case statements and w.dch
we gave as recorded last week Here
after, when controversies anse.andwe
go atter the facts, we shall give our au
thority, as we have herein.
