Loup City Northwestern J. W. BURLEIGH, Publisher. LOUP CITY, - - - NEBRASKA. A trade note says “heavy shoes move slowly.” It sounds almost like a truism. A Boston hen was sold last week for $750. She must have come over in the Mayflower. Admiral Togo is coming over here In April with two armored cruisers. Oil up your banzais! Of the 6,817 new books published in England last year, probably seventeen were well worth reading. The new king of Denmark is in his 63rd year, and may be considered thoroughly safe and sane. The shah of Persia has “granted a parliament,” and will no doubt run it entirely to his own satisfaction. It wouldn’t be so embarrassing to tell folks what you think of them if they wouldn’t return the compliment. It is not true that the motto of M. Anatole Le Braz, this year's French lecturer at Harvard, is “Erin go bragh.” A Cincinnati woman has 1,000 ca naries. When we move to Cincin nati we shall be careful not to rent the next flat. When a woman says she hates te have her husband out of her sight he is either a very good husband or a very bad one. The United States has 579 mountain peaks over 12,000 feet high, and yet the. country doesn’t look so very peaked at that. They are going to build a twenty four story skyscraper in Pittsburg. The top of it ought almost to rise above the soot. A Richmond, Va., man died, leav ing two widows and a fiancee. Well, that’s an improvement on the Hoch method, anyway. The Russian revolutionists are not satisfied to take counsel; they want to take councillors every time they can get a shot at them. The big revival now in progress in Philadelphia is expected to cost $50, 000, but it isn’t expected that there will be 50,000 converts. One of the best experiences in this life is living within one’s income. It may require a little sacrifice some times, but sacrifice is good. t Richard Mansfield advises univers ity boys to select some great man as a model, and it should not be inferred that he meant Beau Brummel. 71 A biologist prescribes a pound of candy or a dose of cooking soda for “that tired feeling.” The young Amer ican will know which prescription tD take. Now that a man in West Coventry. Conn., has caught a neighbor in a trap set for chicken thieves, will the offender be punished by being sent to Coventry? ------ It seems that after paying $1,500 a volume for “Fads and Fancies,” New York’s smart set still has money enough left to pay $1,500 a pair for “medicated boots.” Mark Twain made a -speech in which he spoke with much humor of the millionaire tax-dodgers of Gotham. There was even more truth in the speech than humor. The New York physician who starved himself to death in an at tempt to show the power of mind over matter would seem to have given mind rather a rough jolt. Uncle Russell Sage will have to pay taxes this year on a persona! property assessment of $2,000,000. Are the New York authorities trying to drive the poor old man out of the city? A "life” sentence in New York is said to average about ten years. This is unfair to New York, even consider ing all that tends to shorten life there and make it disagreeable while it lasts. Bob Fitzsimmons has purchased a “rural home,” but we have reasonable doubts whether his Julia will be con tent to shoo chickens off the porch and perform the other duties of a ru ralist’s wife. By the verdict of a Brooklyn Jury, a dash left out of a telegraphic mes sage will cost the telegraph company $2,200. Under the circuhistances, the manager might be excused a dash with a big, big D before it. A Connecticut minister is authority for the statement that a half dozen good apples eaten each day will great ly assist an inebriate to conquer his appetite for liquor. Of course, they must not be taken in the form of applejack. A British Judge has decided that a waitress does her full duty if she passively resists attempts to kiss her, and that she cannot be discharged for not resisting actively. An extension of the passive resistance movement may confidently be predicted. People have been dying in Mexico of the cold, while up in Maine the old est inhabitant confesses that he never knew of such a balmy winter. It is & strange year, but wonder over na ture’s ways does not interfere with a satisfied contemplation of the coal pile. If Congress authorizes the issuance of gold certificates in denominations of not less than $5, according to the Fowler bill, ordinary folks may see one now and then. The smallest gold certificate now Is the $20 beauty. TWITCHING MERYES A Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured By Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Snfferers from ailments that have af flicted in regular succession one genera tion after another of their family are, as a rale, inclined to submit to them as in evitable. The case which follows proves that such hereditary difficulties are not beyond the reach of curative forces aud should inspire hopefulness aud a readi ness to try remedies that have effected signal cores, such as that which i« here given. Mrs. Elizabeth Rannells, of No. 408 East Seventh street, Newton, Kansas, gives the following account of her ail ment aud her cure: “For two years I suffered from a trying nervousness in my lower limbs from my knees down, as my mother aud my grandmother had suffered before me. The situation was for many years ac cepted as unavoidable because heredi tary. But about two years ago,when my sou was realizing benefit from the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, I thought there might possibly be some good in them for me. My trouble had then become so serious as to make it difficult for me to sleep. I often had to walk the floor iu restlessness the whole night. After tak ing some six boxes the twitching disap peared and l ceased to use the remedy. I evidently stopped a little too soon for nervousness came back after a mouth or so aud I used the pills again for a short time. Relief came at once and since I stopped using them the second time I have been free from any return of the twitchiugs or from any interference with my sleep.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have cured the worst cases of bloodlessuess, indiges tion, influenza, headaches, lumbago, sci atica, neuralgia, nervousness, spinal weakness aud the special ailments of girls nud women. For further information, address the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Birds Benefit the World. If the world were birdless, a natu ralist declares man could not inhabit it after nine year’s time, in spite of all the sprays and poisons that could be manufactured for the destruction of insects. The insects and slugs would simply eat all the orchards and crops in that time. TERRIBLE SCALY ECZEMA. Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and Face and Neck Were All Broken Out—Cured by Cuticura. “I htd an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms and the lower limbs as far as the knees. I at first thought it was prickly heat. But soon scales or crusts formed where the breaking out was. Instead of going to a physician 1 put chased a complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in which I had great faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption ap peared again, only a little lower; but before it had time to spread I pro cured another supply of the Cuticura Remedies, and continued their use un til the cure was complete. It is now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of a return. 1 have more faith in Cuticura Reme dies fo^ skin diseases than anything I know of. Emma E. Wilson, Lis comb, Iowa, Oct. 1, 1905." Duty of Grand Jury. A grand jury is one who sits to hear me side only, and to say whether here is evidence enough to show probable guilt. Every housekeeper should know that If they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ?i-pound packages, and the price Is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals.

Larry had just landed In America and it was his first sea voyage. “Awn did yez git sae-sick?” anx iously inquired Mary Ellen. “Oi did," replied I arry, with a dole ful shake of his head. “Awn how aid ut fale?" Harry thought a moment and then said: “Did yez yiver see an umbrilla turned wrong side out in a windstorm T Will, the way that umbrilla looked Ol felt.’’ Time’s Song. O’er the level plains, wnere mountains greet me as 1 go. O’er the desert waste, where fountains at my bidding How. On the boundless beam by day. on the cloud by night. I am riding hence away; who will chain my flight? War his weary watch was keeping—I have crushed his spear; Grief within her bower was weeping—I have dried her tear; Pleasure caught a minute's hold—then I hurried by. Leaving all her banquet cold, and her goblet dry. Power had won a throne of glory; where Is now his fame? Genius said. "I live in story"; who hath heard his name? Love beneath a myrtle bough whispered "Why so fast?" And the roses on his brow withered as I passed. I have heard the heifer lowing o’er the wild wave's bed; I have seen the billow flowing where the cattle fed; Where began my wanderings? Memory will not say! Where will rest my weary wings? Sci ence turns away! —Wlnthrop Mackworth Praed. War and Weather. The editorial in The Chronicle un der the capion of the "Winter Sol stice” and the sudden drop of the tem perature at the break of day was of deep interest to me from the fact that I gave the subject a great deal of at tention during the civil war and form ed a theory as to the cause of the ear ly morning cold air, as it was called by the young soldiers in the Army of the Potomac. In the months of June, July and Au gust the first streak of light would ap pear in the east at ten minutes past 3 a. m. Fifteen minutes later, the cool air so grateful to us after a warm night could be felt and always came from the upper air from the fact that the leaves on the trees would rustle and bend toward the earth, also stand ing grass, grain and growing com. The birds would chirup faintly, roosters crow, cows bellow, horses neigh and then all would be quiet and settle down for a morning nap. Soldiers on the picket line had to keep moving in order to keep awake. Although raised on a farm, I then for the first time took notice how horses slept. Fre quently a brigade of cavalry was near us and the horses would stand up and doze all night, but when the cool morning wave arrived they would lie ; down, place their under lip on the ground with their heads in a vertical position and when their heads wav- ! ered slightly from side to side we knew they were sleeping, but if their heads did not oscillate and their eyes , remained closed they were not sleep ing but enjoying a much-needed rest. At the commencement of the battle of Fredericksburg I noticed a brigade of cavalry in line about ten yards to the rear of a battery of heavy siege guns All were standing and dozing with j their riders leaning against them. At half-past 4 a. m. the heavy guns open ed fire on the city across the Rappa hannock river and at their first dis charge all the cavalry horses dropped : to their knees. Some were prostrated j and quite a number of the cavalry men were injured. This event occurred at the commencement of the drop in tem- j perature and it was bitter cold while it lasted. At the second battle of Bull Run when we were ordered to aban don our position long lines of infantry were sleeping on their arms. They had to be awakened as quietly as pos sible, which was a most difficult task. They were unusually tired on account of the previous day’s fighting and many were furious at being disturbed and declared they were going to sleep even If they were taken prisoners by the confederates, but they had to obey orders and all got away at half-past 3 a. m. I noticed many times that while men were sleeping at sunrise their respira tions would be long and deep, or about seventeen to the minute and the ac tion of the heart would decrease from seventy-six to sixty-five per minute. On the night ot the 3d and the morn ing of the 4th of July, 18C3, at the battle of Gettysburg, the wounded be tween the opposing lines were crying, groaning and calling for water. Sud denly at % a. m. their crying ceased and one of my comrades remarked that they must all be dead. I an swered him by saying they were not dead but were sleeping from the ef lecis oi me cooi morning drop in tem perature we then felt. The wounded slept for one hour and then resumed their cries for help and water. The sun was then rising and at that mo ment it was discovered that General Lee, with his army, was gone and out of sight. Then perfect bedlam broke loose among our boys. They shook hands and hugged each other. Some turned somersaults and danced and stood on their heads and others would twJrl their hats aloft on the points of their bayonets. The color bearers waved their flags and with thousands of others cheered till they were ex hausted. And it can be truly said that the grand old Army of the Pou mac had gone mad with joy. General Mead immediately ordered a detail of 5,000 men to care for the wounded of both sides, who were soon made as comfortable as circumstances would admit. — Communication to Chicago Chronicle. Grant an Idol to Hi* Men. "I can call to mind,” says a veteran, “my meeting with a member of the Twenty-first Illnois in 1865 or 1866. We were crowding toward the stair- j way near which Gen. Grant was stand ing, when the Illinois man said impa tiently, ‘Push ahead, man: I want to get a good look at the little cuss who beat our regiment into shape the first year of the war. He tamed us by marching us across the country and by disciplining every man who dis obeyed orders. He was our colonel ' then, and how we cussed him for his persistence in beating us into shape. : Now, here he is the biggest man in 1 the whole country and I want to tell him what I think of him.’ "I regarded my Illinois fric? with some suspicion, but when we came to where Grant was standing with his 1 hands in his pockets whjle the people i in four ranks filed by him, a little i country girl passed under the rope i * stretched in front of the General, peered about In a sort of personal in spection for half a minute, then took one of the General’s hands from the pocket, kissed it in a caressing way, and put it back in the pocket with a satisfied, tender, reverent look on her face. The General looked down at her with a queer smile on his face and said quietly, ‘Here, I will shake hands with you if I die for it. What is your name?’ "Thirty thousand people, within see ing distance, yelled and cheered as they saw the General take the little girl's hand and lower his head to her face. In the midst of the cheering my Illinois friend leaned forward on the rope and, holding out his hand, said: ‘Here, Sis, give me that hand.’ The girl, bewildered, tried to obey orders and as the Twenty-first man caught hold of the hand and the General flinched (it had been shaken 10,000 times that day), the private of the Twenty-first said, with a chuckle: 'That's all right, General. I will han dle it as I would a sick baby. I be longed to your old regiment. You tied me like a mule to the end gate of a wagon. Another time I carried a rail, I and I cussed you up and down in a whisper.’ “The General looked annoyed and raised his eyes to those of Gen. Wil cox, in command of the special guard. Wilcox was raising his hand as a sig nal for interference when the Illi noisan, still caressing the hand, said with (another chuckle: ‘That’s all right, General. You made a man of me, and I never went into a fight but what I thought of you and wanted to tell you that I was trying to be a good soldier. I came to tell you this to-day, and, by George, I have done it.’ Grant's hand closed about the hand of the other, and he said: ‘I am very glad you spoke to me. I am always glad to see the boys of the old regiment. Climb over.’ And Private John cross ed the rope and stood by the side of the Lieutenant General as the thous ands marched by.” A Painless Wound. It was about this time that I tvas wounded—most strangely, in the fact that while my wound was severe it was wholly painless. The fire of the enemy had become exceedingly ac curate and the shells were bursting all around. With the flag officer arid his staff I was standing on the bridge and our group made a pretty target for the gunners on shore. Dupont in his polite manner said presently: “Gentlemen, I would suggest that some of you had better leave the bridge. If our friends over therh should drop a shell among us, we might lose some valuable officers.” Being the junior and inferior officer of the crowd, I retired at once to the spar deck, when a shell came through our bulwarks and gave me a severe shake-up. Remembering the old ad age that lightning never strikes twice in the same place, I went to the shat tered port to look "out and to con tinue my notes of the fight. As 1 leaned over, one of our own guns fired, and the grommet-^a wadding ol rope yarn—blew back 'into my long whiskers, and in an instant my face was in flames. It took me but a sec ond to extinguish' the conflagration; but it was too late to save even a re spectable remnant of a beard whose glory had excited the envy of even the prince of Wales. I hurried below, took a pair of shears and trimmed my whiskers a la Grant. When I returned to' the deck one of the officers said to me: “Well, sir, where in the devil did you come from?” I saw in a moment that he did not recognize me, and I said: “I came up from below, sir. My name is Osbon of the Wabash, sir.” The shells were flying about pretty thickly just then, and it was a poor time to discuss matters, but he stared at me for several seconds before he could take it. in. “In the name of heaven what is the matter with you?” he asked. “I have been severely wounded,” I replied, “in the whiskers.”—From a Sailor of Fortune, in Pearson's. Veteran’s Sword Restored. Capt. William A. Copeland of Lake side, twenty miles east of Los An geles, Cal., has received from the State of North Carolina a sword cap tured in the civil war, bearing the in scription: "Presented to Lieut. Wil liam A. Copeland, Company B, Tenth Michigan Infantry, at Nashville, Tenn., April 4, 18G3. The owner was discovered through i newspaper advertisement published by direction of Gov.

A letter from a lady who Is spend ing the year among the peasants of Tyrol, says: “The morning after our arrival we were awakened by the sound of a violin and flutes under the window, and hurrying down found the little house adorned as for a feast— garlands over the door and wreathing in a high chair which was set in state. The table was already covered with gift brought by the young people whose music we had heard. The whole neigh borhood were kinsfolk, and these gifts came from uncles and cousins in every far-off degree. They were very simple, for the donors are poor — knitted gloves, a shawl, basket* of flowers, jars of fruit, loaves of bread; but upon all some little message of love was pinned. “ ‘Is there a bride In this house?” I asked of my landlord.
