The Northwesters Not Guilty. (St. Paul Republican.) Already the Loup City papers are in training for the greatness which will be thrust upon them when their town becomes a division station on the re built Burlington. They have invested their surplus simoleons in eight-point italic and begun grinding out hog latin at a rate calculated to make their sub sc ibers dizzy. Looks Suspicious. <3t Paul Republican.) W. L. Park, general superintendent of the Union Pacific, A. D. Schermer hom, division engineer, Charles Ware, superintendent of the Nebraska divi sion, and H. E. Cox, assistant superin tendent went north on two special t are attached to the regular passenger Monday afternoon. They returned Tu's lav morning and were transferred at this point to the Loup City and Pleasanton branch. It is suspected that their presence iR this locality may have something to do with the railroad extension rumors, which are becoming quite plentiful and plausable. Eighth Grade Examinations Numerous inquireies have come to hand from teachers and others rela tive to the eighth grade examina* y tions, and I feel that some general plan of proceedure should be adopted that will at once insure fareness and impartiality, and give to those who are qualified to pass an -opportunity to do so under such conditions that all will feel that not only have they received tire same treatment, but tliat the certificates granted them as having satisfactorily passed the grade shall stand for something in L which they may well take a reason able degree of pride. The branches of study pursued in the eighth grade constitute the foundation of all aducation; and an adequate knowl edge of them constitutes a pretty liberal education in Itself. To be firmly grounded in Beading, Arithme tic. Geography, Grammar, and U. S. History, places the pupil not only in a position to pursue the subjects of the ninth grade intelligenty,but he is fairly well qualified to meet the de mands that arise in the life of the average individual and citizen, as well. Every school pupil of today will be compelled to assume, in some degree, the duties imposed upon all by civil ized society, and this whether he will or no. There are certain responsi bilities and duties that he cannot shirk, such as the exercises of ths franchise, and Jury duty, and upon the intelligent performance of these duties depend the welfare of society as it is now organized. This alone constitutes a reason sufficient for requiring that the eighth grade ex amination shall test the power, accru acy and knowledge of the pupil in the subjects above named, now generally known as the “five essen tials.” After a careful consideration of the conditions which surround the rural schools, and tire necessity for their improvement, it has been decided to hold first a preliminary examination in which questions will be sent to all teachers who have pupils desiring to take the examination. The teach er will conduct the examination under the conditions imposed by the county superintendent, and all ' answer papers will be forwarded to him for grading. Later there will be held two examinations at such points as may seem to be most suitable and convenient, and under tlie supervi sion of the persons whom the county superintendent shall designate. All who may pass the second examination satisfactorily will receive certificates, and all who fail to pass may have another apport unity at the third examination. In every instance the it answer papers will be referred to the opupty superintendent for grading, the examiner performing such other duties as the county superintendent may require, All teachers having pupils who are ready to take these examinations will please let me know at once, so that there may be no mistake in sndinj I out the preliminary puestions, wliiot ' will be forwarded at as early a date as practicable. [i Loup City, Nebr., Feb. 27,1906. Ii M. H. MEAD, i ■ ► Who Robbed the Store! On the night of Tuesday, Feb 20th, the store of B. X. Gaateyer, in this city was entered and the cash register robbed of 083 in cash, several dollars in nickels and dimes and a number of checks being left untouched. Upon dis covering the fact on the following morning, notes were made of the con dition of all entrances to the store «nd a telegram sent by Mrs. Gaateyer to her bankers in Omaha requesting the ser vices of a detective at once, which was complied with, and the following Thursday evening a Pinkerton- man appeared on the scene and worked on the case up to Wednesday morning, when he left without, as we are reliably informed, gaining one clue to the guilty party, although he openly accused cer tain ones of the theft, acknowledging afterward that be had done so in the hope he might find the burglar. The only result therefore, bat been to cause dissention among our people and suspicion to rest unjustly upon different young men in our midst, and make enmities among those who had been friends and neighbors. In an interview with Mrs. Gasteyer yesterday the said: “1 most sincerely regret the trouble and hard feelings that this investigation has caused. However, in justice to myself, I will say, that had the sugges tion which I made to Mr. Toby (the detective) been heeded and a public matter not have been made of this atiair, I leel sure all directly concerned would stand higher in the estimation of the community.” The Northwest ern will not at this time enter into any further controversy or comment on the case, nor give details of the robbery or surmises in regard to the ssme. Enough has been said, pro and con, to fill a good sized book and we believe more than enough, but if necessary may give the public a fuller account later ADDITIONAL LOCALS. _ D.
