Elihu Root, ex secretary of war, has accepted the portfolio of seere tary of state, and will begin bis duties within a couple of weeks. Who will the Republicans put up as their county candidates this fall? So far we have Dot heard of a prospective candidate. Who wants to be yoked to the various places of county trust? We understand present County Supeiintendent Hendrickson and Prof. Xicoson are two prospective candidates for the populist nomi nation for county superintendent this fall. According to report there will be a merry race between the two aforesaid gentlemen. The mutiny among the sailors of j the remnant of the Russian fleet j has been squelched by the aid of the Roumanian government, but the little Japs are still going ahead squelching the whole Russian government, and meeting with little ' opposition from the czar’s minions. ————————————— ! Bleeding Kansas again comes to jthe front on the prohibition craze, j j At Iola, that state, last Sunday evening, three saloons were dynamit ed, and other propel ty damaged by the terriffic shock, which wrs heard nine miles away. It is claimed the! work was done by temperance work ers. Poor old Kansas. We want to hear of any and ail Republicans who may be spoken of for the various county offices this fall. The Northwestern has no choice, but wants to give everyone proper recognition through its colnmns. By such means voters may have knowledge of whom are in the race in advance of the con vention and make their selections in the cool and calm moments before the heat and rush of that day. Don’t be backward about coming forward, gentlemen. Anything worth having is worth going after. We never took mucn stock in the idea of a good fat office hunting the poor dear, innocent and unwilling man and compelling him to accept the candidacy of the office. Do vou? Board Will Not Rescind Action W. R. Mellor tiled before the County Hoard of Equalization an application, as a taxpayer, to have the board rescind its former action had on June 14,1905. in which they sustained the petition of numerous land owners in Oak Creek. Ashton, Bristol and Scott townships for a reduction of the assessments of their lands, on the ground that ihe county board, sitting as a Hoard of Equalization, had unjustly raised the assesmeuts in these townships in 1904 R J. Nightingale appeared as attorney for Mr. Mellor and contended that the county board had no power, under the law, to review the equalization of townships made in 1904 and come errors or mistakes of said board in the matter of equalization, and that their power extended only to individual as st* sments and to manifest errors or in justice committed by the assessors. T. S Nightingale appeared as a tax payer, and in support of the action of the board as taken at its last meeting contended that the board had acted on individual petitions and individual cases of corrections of gross mistakes n assessments onlv, and th »t no town hips had been raispd or lowered, as stated bv counsel for Mr Mellor. The board, after bearing the arguments, refuse d, by unanimous vote, to rescind their action and as a result the matter will probably go up to the supreme court before it is through with. Life of (i rand in a Smith. [With this week we commence the publica tion of a series of short biographical sketches of the oldest inhabitants of Loup City and Sherman county, which we hope to continue from week to week till we have given life history of all the venerable saints. You can materially aid u* if you will, by preparing for us the history of Some one within your knowl edge. Will you do sorj The Stage tells us: “Life is the hap piest giftot the gods.” If we accept this, then we must lie interested in indivd uals in whom the vital spark or living energy- call it what you will—is pro longed through the passing of many ve irs. There resides in our village an aged mother, who will have reached the 91st milestone Aug. otb, 1905, and we make her the subject of this sketch: i’hebe N. Fowler was born at New Salem. Mass., in the year 1M4 It we stop to think, tin' vears which she lias lived, covering most of the 19th centu ry an 1 the dawn of the 20th century, hold-* within their grasp the cream ot our modern thought and civilization. Her ancestors came from Holland. "he lived the wholesome, cheerful, hard working life of a farmer's daugh ter of that time, and at the age of 18 years married Chas. Hunter. Fi\e years thereafter, they emigrated to the wilds of Michigan, going by way of a sailing vessel of the >ix-lake trip as it was then called, and then overland to the part of the state which was fhrir destm ition. Their life at this time was a long story of effort, enduring un limited hardships, but soon learned to adapt themselves to conditions, and being of a strong practical bent of mind, having youth and health on their side, the future was alive with hope and anticipation. Thev cleared the land and founded a home in the wilderness, accepted the duties of a hardworking life with cheerfulness and did their part in forging the proper conditions for building up the then new common wealth. which must always lie in the hands of just such pioneers as til's young man and wife. Perhaps it was a decade later when they moved to Indiana.and her husband dying, and finding it hard to cone with the battle to support her family of four children, m irr.ed one John Smith, I whi se name she bears. Grandma Smith gave birth t -> ten children, but three are 1 ving, her oldest son. Judge Hunter, with whom she makes her home, in company with a younger brother, served four years fighting the battles of his country, and accepts life with the same kindly optimism as his mother The infirmities of age bear heavily on this aged woman, but her memory is wonder fill anti she will entertain you with incidents of tne past and having been a w ide reader, interested in public qne - ions, can give even now a fair summarv ot the great events of which her years have been a part. .She has pleasure in singing to herself the old hymns and tunes of a generation gone, and smiling ly says. “My people were all Baptists, you know." Before I left her she re peated for me lines of which this is a fair quotation: "The forest where we used to roam, we find it swept away: The cottage where we lived and loved, has mouldered to decay; And'all that feeds our hungry hearts may with er. fade and die; There's nothing like an old tune, to make the heart beat high.” For the benefit of the school boy and girl, who have noticed Grandma Smith going fn and oat among us the years of their short lives, we would give for their instruction a slight summary of points that are now history and have all occured during the span of her life. This good woman was cognizant of the building of the Erie Canal, the introduc tion of the steamboat and railroad, the great development of manufactures, the growth of the west, the invention ot nearly all labor and time saving machinery, as the threshing and sew ing machines; paper first made from hay and straw, until lggfj there was no axes, hatchets, planes or edged tools made in this country. The discovery of anaesthetics, such as chloroform, i the invention of telegraphy, telephone and all electric appliances, practically everything we use today that make tor our comfort. Remember its a long inurval from 1S14 to 1905. and your public school is a heritage made possible in the time betw. en these dates. Now see if you know in what administration the free public school became a se’tleu fact, school hoy. Politically, the first national convention to nominate cand * dates for Ihesident and Vice President J the Missouri Compromise, use of pul/ lie lands, California Gold craze, War with Mexico, Annexation of T**hs, Kansas-Nebra*lta bill, re-claimatom of the 'Great American Desert,’/Civil War, Spanish Imbroglie—in tftet the political history of this country h s beeu made during this ageyi j ersou’s lifetime. / Wejasked Grandma to lkfiat she at tnb ued her long life Her only relpy was. "an iron const Am ion and a clear oon-cn nee.” Ny>di had coral ination. This is whfrt"Tuts given courage, will and strength to achit ve the long lerg.h of days. Her indudoy has been a prominent trait, but now she can only eaiDloy herself at some w ork not repair ing concent ration, for she is almost blind and can only braid rugs or do some simple sewing. She journeyed alone after the age of 8) years over the several i f the western states, visiting w th her son in Idaho and only daugh ter living in Montana, for two years. Altogether her life has been worth the living from every standpoint, and now as she ne irs the closing of life's long vigil, we would testify to her devotion, self-sacrifice and f lithfulness and pray f >r“a safe trip to her immortal soul cv r the one wav trail.” Road Notice.
