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.

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
