Loup City Northwestern J. W. BURLEIGH, Publisher. LOUP CITY, . - NEBRASKA. A glass famine is reported. Great suffering among the goats and the os triches. Perhaps the farmers are buying automobiles so that they can scorch after the scorchers. An arena for bull fights is being built at Cannes. After the bulls are killed there, will they be canned? At least that big South African dia mond ought to be exhibited all over the world before it is cut up. In Thibet when a pupil fails in his lessons they fiog the teacher. Say! Isn’t there some sense in that? The Yaqtii Indians of Mexico are doing their best to take their proper place among international problems. A Louisville minister swallowed a steel drill and even the X-ray can’t find a trace of it. What a digestion! Prof. Craig says that civilization is over 9.000 years old. And mighty small for its age it sees sometimes, too. We will soon know whether J. P. Morgan or ‘’Pat’’ Sheedy will get that $4,000,000 diamond just found near Pretoria. “Is there any redeeming feature about a red nose?” asks the Denver Post. Well, as a danger signal to the bibulous it has its uses. Americans eat more sugar than any ether people on earth. It is no won der. therefore, that they do the most scolding at the sugar trust. King Edward has quit wearing a white vest. This will, of course, mean £ dead loss of $4 or $5 to the Ameri can who has just bought one. Sir Frederick Treves, the eminent Etr!:sh physician, thinks “genius is rae sort of neurosis.” Perhaps that £Koue's for its eccentricities. The coast of Borneo has more mos erht-e-s to the square inch than any •her place in the world. Doubtless this accounts for Borneo’s crop of wild men. The Springfield, Mass., Republican refers to Alfred Austin's sonnet on Shakespeare a= “Alfred Austin's Best " Sounds like an advertisement of Lam. The Sultan of Turkey is trying to l- rrow money from German bankers. He must think the Germans have been too busy to read about Cassie Chadwick. The young lady who wants to know “tow a girl ought to salute the Amer ican flag” probably wouldn’t displease the color-bearer if she should throw kisses at it. The schedule of Mrs. Chadwick's debts indicates that most of her dupes have decided to “chuck the whole business” and mark it up to profit and loss. Owing to circumstances over which he has no control, J. Pierpont Mor gan will not be able to add the sun spot to his large and magnificent col lection of curiosities. If Mrs. Chadwick could only get to a bank, she could easily prove that a rich relative several years ago gave her the 3,022-carat diamond just dis covered near Pretoria. According to a Philadelphia tobac conist, his best cigars are sold for $5 apiece. They are not the kind that Gov. Pennypacker hands out to news paper reporters when they call. The naval cadets can’t quite agree with the president that the fear of mil itarism is a baseless alarm when they remember that very few of the West Point football players quit school this year. Lack o"f proper food or an insuffi cient amount of food may be one of the causes of truancy, but many a gray head can recall how he played hookey on a full and perfectly satis fied stomach. A boy died in a New York school room after being taunted on his fail ure to pass an examination. The doc tor said the lad had a weak heart. And it may be added that his taunt ers had weak heads. The four sovereigns of England, Austria, Germany and Italy draw $13,000,000 per year in the way of sal aries. That is to say four kings take the table stakes in Europe. Much the same way in this country. A fashion writer says that Easter bonnets will be costlier than ever this year, but as Easter comes later than usual this year, the mere men who have to pay the bills will have a longer time than usual to save up for them. Up to 1889 green peas were used only as missiles or counters, says the New York Sun. We have seen some even since then which seem to have been divinely ordained for these pur poses. They had been cooked that way, too. It is reported from Cleveland that Mrs. Chadwick is likely to escape punishment. Her financial transac tions, it is explained, were “unusual, but not illegal.” Probably they were not illegal because she succeeded in getting so much. Only the little swin dles come within the meaning of the law. Several American poets have writ ten replies to Swinburne’s sonnet on the czarf and they prove that even If Swinburne has reached his dotage his case might be much worse than it is. FAMOUS MASSACRES OF HISTORY Fearful Tragedies Blot the Records of Many Nations—Notable Slaughter of Unarmed and Peaceful Citizens of Paris by Troops Under the Command of La Fayette. Massacres of defenseless people are recorded in Ibe history of many na tions, but there are only few such oc currences affording anything like a real parallel to the slaughter of Rus sian workingmen by the troops of the czar at St. Petersburg, Jan. 22. In the French revolution of 1848— the first great uprising of wage-earn ers and hence described in history as the “first revolution brought about by economics"—a large crowd of workingmen were fired upon in mid summer in the streets of Paris by tioops under the command of Gen. thrown at the soldiers and they fired into the dense unarmed mass, killing ' and wounding. “The slaughter was great, the panic complete,” says Thomas E. Watson in his fascinating work, “The Story of France. ’ Men, w omen and children were killed. Not a soldier was hurt. The crowd had no arms; it certainly was not expecting a fight. There may have been guilty men on the scene, but most of the victims were surely Innocent There were men and wom en. dressed in their Sunday clothes, i who had no weapons whatever on or JT/K5 \ Cavaignac. It was a fearful slaughter and the strikers and their sympathiz ers were terrorized and for the time subdued. The commander of the troops, “Cavaignac the bloody,” was named for president of the republic, but was overwhelmingly defeated by Louis Napoleon, the man whom a coup d’etat afterward made the em peror of France. Among the bloody deeds perpetrat ed in France in the days of the com mune following the great revolution of 1789 a foremost place in history is given to the “massacre in the fields of Mars,” Sunday, July 17, 1791. That day a petition w as to be signed their persons. And there were chil dren among the slain, to whom it had teen a Sabbath outing. The petition was scattered, but its leaves were gathered up, and they are now to be seen among the archives of France.” In the reign of terror following this great revolution in France occurred the so-called ‘ September massacres,” the victims being 3,000 prisoners con fined in the dungeons of Paris by the | revolutionists. They comprised no- i j hies, priests, anti-revolutionists and 1 t victims of private malice. The com mune reported that the Prussians were marching on Paris, were at the city’s gates, and Danton secured the let loose upon the helpless men and women huddled in the prisons and told to wreak vengeance upon them. Commissions signed by municipal offi cers authorized suitable agents to bold courts in the prisons, to deliver in stant judgment and to have imme diate execution done. The prisoners are dragged from their cells, are halt ed for a moment before this sham tribunal, are examined with brevity and are delivered over to the murder ers, who stand ready at the door. Death before the dishonor of swear ing allegiance to the terrorists was the answer of all heroic souls. ‘Con duct madam out,’ says the judge, and madam is led to the door, is struck, is stabbed, is brutally beaten, till life is gone; is hewn asunder, her head fixed on a pike, her dripping heart held up to the hooting mob, and the rest is too sickening to be told. “For three days this massacre went on. A mere handful of wretches did the work, tolerated by the silence of the people, encouraged by the com mune and not checked by the govern ment of the terrorists. “After the bloody work was ended in Paris and Tallien had made his announcement to the assembly that ‘The prisons are now empty,’ Marat and Billaud issued, in the name of the municipality of Paris, a circular letter to other municipal bodies urging them to imitate what had been done in Paris. In some cities the advice was acted upon the prisoners murdered.” In August, 1793. the commune ol j Paris sent an army of 00,000 men j against rebellious Lyons. The city. J after a prolonged siege and the en j durance of innumerable woes, was captured. The convention decreed that it should be utterly destroyed, and that over its ruins should be reared a monument with the inscrip tion, “Lyons made war upon liberty, end, behold! Lyons is no more!” Six thousand of the citizens of Lyons per ished in the massacre following the capture of the city. ___ JURISDICTION A WIDE ONE. How Supreme Court Justices Drank Wine Without Breaking Rule. In Chief Justice Marshall's time the Supreme Court of the United States lived apart from the rest of the world, and dined together at a sort of mess, only once a year dining in public at the White House. Justice Story was once rallied on this aloofness, and ex plained it drolly: “The fact is, we Justices take nc part in the society of the place. We dine once a year w ith the President and that is all. On other days we dine together and discuss at table the ques tions that are argued before us. We are great ascetics, and even deny out selves w ine except in wet weather.” Here the Justice paused, as if think ing this last statement placed too great a tax on human credulity, and then he added, slyly: “What I say about wine, sir. gives you our rule, but it does sometimes happen that the Chief Justice will say asking the national convention to ar raign for trial the craven king, Louis XVI., who had fled in terror from Paris. Rumors of riot and carnage at the place where the petition was be ing signed, the Field of Mars, reached Danton, Marat, Robespierre and the other revolutionary leaders, and La Fayette was sent with troops to quell the disturbance. Stone* and mud were passage of an order for the hoisting of the “black flag of death” upon the towers of the city hall. “Even as the voice of Danton had echoed and re-echoed through the great hall of th(r assembly,” says His torian Watson, “the shriek of doomed prisoners rang wildly through the streets. The September massacres had begun. Some 200 butchers were to me when the cloth Is removed: ‘Brother Story, step to the window and see if it does not look like rain.' And if I tell him that the sun is shin ing, Chief .Justice Marshall will some times reply: ‘All the better; for oui jurisdisction extends over so large a territory that the doctrine of chances makes it certain that it must be rain ing somewhere."—Philadelphia Record - Took Stock Too Late. A shy little widow, having inside in formation as to the financial rating of a certain widower running at large and looked upon as an eligible parti, resolved to marry him out of hand. She, the widow, heard two things viz: that he had slathers of wealth and that hk was realty pining for some good woman to help him enjoy It. Yes, indeed! So straightaway this shy little widow fell madly in love with this man. It is a pleasure to record that her love was recipro cated at the first glance, the more particularly as this man, too, had private advices which reputed the widow as being well off. Their mar riage was-at one day’s sight. No cards. No carriages. The very next day this widower had conversation with his bride concern ing her accumulations. “It is true I am well off,” she frank ly told him. “I do not come to you empty-handed. I bring you 4Y certs in cold cash and the divorce papers from my first husband. Take them all; they are yours.” Then, as be came the true wife, she required of him a schedule of his riches. "My available assets," he confessed, “are seven children and a chronic case of gout. Of course, I expect to share everything with you.”—Puck. Little Fear of Premature Burial. Although premature burial is ex tremely rare, except perhaps ou the battlefield, the possibility of such an occurrence cannot be denied. It is well known that, owing to this possi bility, remote as it is, many otherwise strong-minded persons have lived under the shadow of a great fear, and have in their wills directed payments to be made to physicians who should be willing to run the risk of homicide to prevent live burial. It may safely be said, however, that the horrors of the accident are imaginary rather than real. If a person in a state of trance were to be buried while life still per sisted in a latent state, it 13 scarcely conceivable that the victim could awake; the unconsciousness of cata lepsy would simply deepen until it became fixed in the dreamless sleep of death.—British Medical Journal. Sheriff Believes in Publicity. Dr. Obadlah C. Bogardus, sheriff ol Monmouth county, New Jersey, is will ing to let the public kilow the amount of his fees. According to the Reo Bank Register Sheriff Bogardus freely admits that his profits from the office in 1903 were f 15,000, and that Iasi year he cleared up a trifle over $16, 000. Sheriff Bogardus believes thal the people are entitled to know just what the profits of all the county of flees are in order that proper and suit able legislation may be taken eon cerning them. He believes that all the county offices should be placed on a salary basis. A Miner’s Inch. A miner’s inch is the volume of flow of water through a hole one inch square through a board one inch thick and with the hole four inches beneath the surface. It is about one cubic foot in fifiy seconds. In Southern Califor nia as well as through many cf the Western states and territories the miner’s inch is the unit applied in measuring the flow of the smaller riv ers and streams. The report of hundreds of children j in New York going to school o’ morn ii.gs without breakfast, their families too poor to i rovide for food for their offsprings’ stomachs, while the govern ment contributes to the efforts of their minds, was discussed last night. Congressman Smith of Illinois told a story of having overheard a conversa tion in one of the country districts out West—not his; never—in which the'mother sang out: “And you jist shut up yo’ talk and run along to the persimmon tree and git yo’ brealtfas’ in a hurry, 'cause it’s after 8 o’clock and school's done took in half hour ago.” Everywhere Representative Warner, the new pension commissioner, goes around the capitol he is confronted with congressional jesters. Yesterday he was rounding a corridor in the basement of the capitol and met with Representative Wadsworth of New York, one of those who indorsed him * r the office. Wadsworth saw him before he saw Wadsworth. Immedi ately he began to limp, holding one hand to his side, as though in severe pain. “What’s the matter, Jim?” asked the new commissioner, seriously. “O, I was shot in the war and I am permanently disabled,” retorted the humorous New Yorker, moving off v, :th the eneigy of an athlete. Representative Clayton of Alabama was talking on the Swayne case. “The tree is known by Lis fruit,” he quoted from the Bible; there was some sneering laughter on the Repub lican side, "I knew it,” said Clayton. “I knew it. You people think it is wrong to say ‘his fruit.’ I have quoted that before and have been laughed at. “Now, if you scoffers on the otner side will take your Bibles, you will see that the quotation is correct. You laughed too soon over there. You ought to study the Bible more and laugh less. There is more wisdom in it than. can be lound in any other book.” Senator Blackburn of Kentucky de lights to tell of a parson he knew down in the blue grass region who was a muscular Christian. The parson found it necessary to take half a dozen young toughs who persisted in disturbing one of his meetings out behind the church and whale them unmercifully. When he returned one of the members of his flock who was somewhat of a fighter himself rose in meeting and said: “It is a solemn duty of this here congregation to stand by Parson John son. He does not seek trouble, but he will not show the white feather when trouble is forced in his way. I believe that, unrestrained by divine grace. Parson Johnson can whip any man in Kentucky. The Lord is with him. Let us pray.” All who love Wagner and all who would love him if they could flocked to hear “Parsifal.” A man of the latter cult asked a Washington girl who recently finished her musical ed ucation at Leipsic if she would not like to hear the opera. She enthusi astically said she would. “I suppose you like Wagner” con tinued the man. “Vogner?” suggested the girl. “Oh, yes; I adore him.” “What night would you like to go?” next ventured the man. “Wednesday,” said the girl. “I think Wednesday would be a good night.” “All right.” returned the chastened man. “We'll fixe it for Wednesday.’ ” Senator Lodge is a matter of fact sort of man. He indulges in rone of the frivolities; rarely is he seen pay ing attention to any one of the beauti ful children that daily visit the Capi tol, ns other Senators delight to do. One morning, however, ho saw a most fascinating little girl, \r;th the hair of the goldenrod and the eyes of the Colorado sky dancing captivatingly into his. He invited her and her little companions to his committee room and she sat on his knee, unconscious of the fact that he was cynical and unsentimental. “Bet you a horse you don’t know where I came from?” she said to him as she dangled her muddy shoes against his freshly creased trousers. “Bet you a boss I do,” he said. “Where?” “From Kentucky,” he answered. “Well, you win; but I haven’t got the horse here to pay you. You’ll have to go to papa's pasture to get him.” Col. Bill Zeveley of Muskogee, In dian Territory, having heard the East a-calling, is bad: in Washington. While the Colonel was in the South west this time, for a few fleeting days, the editor of the Kansas City Star, not ing with evident jealousy the popular ity of Col. Zeveley, wrote an editorial in which he said: “Out here he is known as J. W. Zeveley. When he gets to St. Louis he is William Zeveley. As soon as he arrives in Washington he is denomi nated as Col. Bill Zeveley, and God only knows what the tesselated satraps of Broadway call him. This alons is clear. His fame in Kansas City is imperishable. He is the man who first introduced the fashion in Kansas City of wearing a plug hat be fore breakfast.” “Now. what do you think of that?" asked Col. Zeveley, ruefully. “A plug hat before breakfast, when everybody knows I never got up before break fast in my life.” The capital had a little blizzard re cently, and Representative J. Adam Bede of Minnesota, where they have cold weather, was talking about it. "It's mighty cold,” said Representa tive Underwood of Alabama. "Worst I ever saw,” commented Representative Slayden of San Anto nio. Texas. "Huh!” said Bede. “This is pie. Why, it is midsummer when compared to the weather in my country. Once I was in a party in St. Paul and the talk got to cold weather. Everybody told how cold he had been. Finally an old Irishman, who had not said a word, spoke up and said: “ -The coldest winter I ever saw' was one summer I spent in Duluth.’ ” While the snow was blowing thick est “Uncle Joe” Cannon plowed his way to the White House. “Cold?” he said to ino.uirers who met him at the door of the executive offices. “Why, this is the kind of weather that makes an old hoss feel spry.” Senator Clapp made a pleasant ad mission the other day of the cost of a senatorial election—not by popular vote. He had just returned from Min nesota. where he was triumphantly renominated. He was in the elevator and was in the act of transferring six dollars from his hand into his pocket. “How much,” inquired Senator Ta liaferro. “have you left?” “Precisely six dollars.” said Senator Clapp, “but isn’t that a lot after all I have gone thiough lately?” Congressman Randell, of Texas, re cently was on a visit to his native state of Georgia, where he heard one of his old-time friends talk of “squir rel whisky.” "Squirrel whisky?” he added. “That’s a new brand on me. What is the stuff?” “Never heard of squirrel liquor? Why, you fellows must be an ignorant lot out where you live in Texas,” the Georgian answered. "Well, to tell you.” he went on, “it's that kind of stuff that will make a man climb a tree and talk nutty. Besides, it often j will make one sit by his hole and i bark at folks that ain’t got no gun.” | Women Not Alone in Curiosity. It is related that the Duchess of Westminster put into her guest cham ber a curious Swiss clock to which was attached a printed notice, “Please do not touch.” When M. Joly, the Canadian Liberal, visited her grace, he ventured to inquire the reason for the prohibition. “You are the twen tieth man that has asked that ques tion.” replied the lady, gleefully. “Women, you know, are supposed to bo proverbially curious, and I put that placard on the clock to test the same weakness in men, and I am happy to say I find them not a whit less curious than the women. I keep a list of all the gentlemen who have asked me the question you have just put, and there has been only one exception among all my guests who have occu pied the room: that was Mr. Fawcett, the late postmaster general, and he, poor man, was blind.” A Woman and a Secret. Senator Beveridge was answering an argument. “The gentleman has been splitting hairs,” he said. “He has been trying to prove that two like things are different. He resembles the young lady who defended her sex’s reticence. ‘A woman can't keep a secret.’ someone said to this young lady. ‘She can, too,’ the young lady answered. ‘It isn’t the woman who gives away the secret. It is the peo ple she tells it to who let it out. Lessons Learned from War. Last New Year’s day, remarks Mr. Stead in his Review of Reviews, the Japanese were “yellow' monkeys.” To day even the Russians pay homage to their heroism, chivalry and genius.” He adds: “Both combatants have proved to the most vulgar-minded, self conceited Briton that as fighters the Russian and the Jap are. man for man, at least as good as the British troops.” Germany’s Women Workers. The number of adult women em ployed in the factories of Germany in 1903 waa 899,338. Handles Millions—Counts Cents. A simple illustration will show the care that is taken of cents by the First National bank of Chicago. Stamped postal cards are not used, and not one of the thousands of rou tine letters that are written every day is stamped or sealed, until the whole routine mail of the day is assembled in tbe afternoon. Then all the cards and letters to one correspondent are put in a single envelope, and—except for letters from the officers and the like—the bank conies as near as pos sible to getting its entire mail carried at two cents an ounce, or a cent for everyt postal card, instead of often pay ing two cents for a quarter of an ounce, as it would have to do if every communication were sealed and stamped separately. This little mat ter of getting full value out of a two cent, stamp makes a saving of from $25 to $30 a day.—World's Work. Mayor Would Legalize Gambling. Mayor Fleischmann of Cincinnati has arrived at the conclusion that the only way to regulate gambling houses is to license them. “There always lias been gambling.” lie says, “and I guess there always will be. The duty of the authorities is to see that it is done in such a way as to do the least possible harm. In order to reach that stage it will have to be legalized.” Honors for German Journalist. Perhaps no German journalist has ever been honored as Ludwig Pietsch was on the recent occasion of his 80th birthday. H# received over 1,000 con gratulatory messages, including one from the kaiser, who referred to him as “the lucid chronicler and old faith ful comrade of my father.” An an nual pension of 2,000 marks has also been granted him.
