Loup City Northwestern J. W. BURLEIGH, Publisher. LrOUP CITT, . - - NEBRASKA. Indian Eduaction That Counts. The Indian school at Chilocco has just gtaduaied the largest class In its' history, and some of its graduates and many of its other classes will help the sugar beet raisers in the vicinity of Rocky Ford, Col., during the vacation. Over 150 of the young Indians are now engaged in this work in that district, and will remain there until the crop is all gathered. They will be back in the school in the fall, ready to resume their studies. At Chilocco and many of the other government schools the young Indians get the right sort of education to fit them for their new role in life. The education is equally divided between the books and the workshops. The boys and girls are taught all that is imparted in the ordinary grammar schools of the country, and a little more, in some cases. In addition the boys are taught to make and repair harness, to shoe horses, to build houses, to do farm work of various sorts, to raise and care for cattle, and some of the rest of the things that need to be done in the average com munity in the west or east. The girls are instructed, by actual practice, in cooking, baking, laundering, nursing, sewing and other work suitable to their stx. This is the education that counts, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Chilocco school was in practical operation at the St. Louis world’s fair, and was one of its most attractive fea tures. It was visited by hundreds of thousands of people during the seven months of the fair. Admiration for its system and for the intelligence and good behavior of its pupils was ex pressed on every hand. Superintendent S. M. McCowan, the head of the school, was here with it. and won u.gh praise for the thoroughness and practical character of the work of his pupils. The United States government made many mistakes in its dealings with the Indians in the old days, but for the past quarter of a century it has been on the right track. Chilocco, Carlisle, Haskell and the rest of the great gov ernment schools are doing a good work in training the young Indians of both sexes to help to intelligently bear so ciety's burdens. Chinese Students’ Uniforms. The establishment of government schools in China, and the equipment of students in uniforms is furnishing a market for military clothing. Ac cording to the British consul at Wu chow 60 of these schools have been opened in that prefeetorate alone. The uniform consists of a coat and trousers of foreign cut, with brass buttons and peak caps, and shoes of foreign pat tern. The material used is either serge, union cloth or cotton tweed for winter uniforms, and for summer wear any light cotton cloth. In the strictly military schools khaki is worn. All the uniforms seen appear to be of British cloth, but there is a rule, which is evidently ignored, that only native material be used. Caps, buttons and braid all come from Ja pan. The shoes are said to be of Hongkong manufacture, but a very in U or kind is made locally of native leather. The cost of a uniform of cot ton tweed, the cheapest, is only $3.60 Mexican ($1.80 American currency) made tc order; a set of buttons, five in a set, costs 20 cents, and cap from 40 cents to $2.20; shoes from $1.10 to $2.20. Quality in every case is ex tremely poor. This uniform, the con sul adds, is becoming fashionable among the younger male generation in that part of China, and every child whose parents can afford the expense is now decked out as a miniature stu dent. If "Mary. Mary, quite contrary,’” be an Algerian, perhaps her garden grows with silver bells and cockle shells and sponges all in a row. The cultivation of vegetable sponges is making progress in Algeria. About ten species-’ of the plant are known and they are cultivated in Asia and Africa, being extensive in the regions of Algiers and Oran. Prior to ma turity the fruit is edible; when the stage of ripeness, however, has been passed the pulp becomes separated from the fibrous matter which then forms the spongy mass entitled the vegetable sponge. Fine specimens when bleached in a weak lime bath are sold at about a nfckel apiece. Paris is at present the chief market for most of the vegetable sponges grown in Algiers. They are suitable not only for toilet and bathroom, but also for domestic purposes. This selling of song birds for hats is a pitiful business. There ought to be no necessity for going to law to stop it, and there would not be, if all women were as tender and merci ful as they like to be thought. A dead bird in a hat does not advertise pleas ant qualities. It must not be supposed that the manufacturers of black pepper ar« confined to the use of lampblack and tapioca. They can make an excellent article out of ground cocoanut shells. Now doth the little busy mosquito improve each darkening hour.

MILLIONAIRES GO PACE THAT KILLS Pittsburg Men of Wealth Unequaled in Furnishing Sensations for the Lovers of Scandal—Allurements of Painted Stage Beauties Fatal to Domestic Peace and Harmony. New York.—Now that the crime of murder has been added to the eccen tric doings of the dozen or more Pitts burg millionaires, it is probable that the limit of their capacity for sensa tioralism has been reached. made affidavit that he cut off her per sonal allowance and household allow ance and put at the head of the house hold a butler, who was objectionable and very insolent, and over whom she had no control. He was given the money to pay the servants, and was empowered to hire and discharge them. Mrs. McKee protested, but was told that she had no power to discharge him. McKee became acquainted with Mrs. Genevieve Phipps, the wife of Law rence Phipps, another Pittsburg mil lionaire, then living in Denver. Mc Kee and Mrs. Phipps were frequently seen together, and an estrangement sprang up between Mr. Phipps and his wife. The breach gradually widened, and Mr. Phipps brought suit for di vorce, naming Hart McKee as co respondent. Pittsburg society was Remarkable divorces, remarriages, | breaches of promise, alimony and chorus girls have hilherro been or dinary features of their lives. They j seem to have become rich so suddenly i that they have lost their heads. Never before, however, has any one of them been accused of murder. Years before Harry Thaw ever heard of Evelyn Nesbit or Stanford White he was eccentric to the verge of crazi ness. He was known as a cigarette fiend, a heavy absinthe drinker, an ad mirer of chorus girls and a reckless spendthrift. He gave dinners costing tens of thousands of dollars, and like the general run of Pittsburg million aires he always had one or more “af fairs” on hand with women of the foot lights. It is a strange fact that chorus girls and actresses seem to appeal to the Pittsburg millionaire past ail power of resistance. Four of them who have made New York their home during the past few years, and whose wealth amounts to $50,000,000 in the aggre gate,have become infatuated with stage beauties more or less widely known throughout the country, according to the World of that city. Three of them have married ac tresses, and the infatuation of the fourth for a beauty of the footlignt is being used against him in divorce pro- i ceedings. Although Harry Thaw was 1 probably the wildest among the Pitts burg high rollers who have sowed in the wild winds of the Tenderloin, ypung Hart McKee was almost as well known, but in a different way. Forgot Marital Obligations. His father, E. Sellers McKee, a mul ti-millionaire glass manufacturer of ' Pittsburg, supplied him with practical ly limitless funds, with which the young man preceded to cut a wide swath. He was handsome, dapper and fastidious, with the red and white com- ! plexion of a healthy girl. Soon after i leaving college he married a Miss Sut ton, from whom he separated a year \ or two afterward, giving her $300,000 outright in lieu of alimony. In Mrs. McKee's allegations against her husband she testified that he was not with her much during the two years of their married life, and that he became more neglectful as time pro ceeded. Finally Mrs. McKee left him, “owing to his entire neglect.” She disrupted by the news, and the Mc Kee and Phipps factions waxed bitter in their denunciations. Kidnaped His Children. Following the return of Mrs. Phipps to this country, her two little children were forcibly taken from the Waldorf Astoria by Mr. Phipps and hurried away to Denver, where he had resided for some time. It was openly stated that when the divorce proceedings were over Mrs. Phipps would marry Hart McKee, but in the meantime that eccentric young man had become en thralled with Mrs. Hugh Tevis, who a few years previous had been wed and widowed within six weeks. Mrs. Tevis and Mr. McKee sailed away to Europe on the same steamer, and shortly afterward were married. Things were rather dull in the Pitts burg colony for awhile until Mrs. Phipps went out to Denver, where the divorce case was brewing. Mrs. Phipps began a contest for the possession of the children, but event ually terms were reached under which a divorce was granted on the ground of desertion. Then almost before their friends had ceased talking about their case Mr. and Mrs. Phipps made up, and it is said that they will be re married. This seems to have finished the calendar of sensations as far as the I Phipps and McKee millionaires are concerned. Another Pittsburg millionaire who had a varied and noteworthy career was James King Clarke, known to his friends as "Jamie.” Young Clarke inherited a part of the millions of his father, Charles J. Clarke, of Pittsburg. He was in the habit of spending a part of his time in Washington, and it was there that he met Miss Esther Bartlett. They were married on April 26, 1899, in Washington, and with the best man. Mackintosh Kellogg, journeyed to New York, where they took rooms at one of the big hotels. As related by Clarke in the suit for divorce, which began a month later, upon their arrival in this city he left his bride in his room with Mr. Kellogg while he went downstairs to look after some baggiige. He was detained for some time. On his return he found the ! door locked, and when it was finally ! opened Mr. Kellogg's shirt front was j stained with the violets which Mrs. I Wmtfwnwvnmiinm1 Clarke wore as a corsage bouquet. That settled It. Mr. Clarke waxed wroth and left his briae. Mrs. Clarke afterward sued for and obtained a divorce, after which she be came the wife of L. T. Whitehead, of Erie, Pa. Mr. Clark then married a Miss Katherine Willoughby, of St. Augustine, Fla., thus closing another chapter of Pittsburg millionaire sensa tionalism. Career of A. R. Peacock. Mr. Alexander Rowland Peacock is another Smoky City candidate for fame. Mr. Peacock is worth many mil lions of dollars. When he came to New York he evidently made up his mind to live up to the traditions and habits of the lively Pittsburgers who had preceded him. To perpetuate his name he had a $17,U00 peacock made of genuine diamonds, sapphires and emeralds and gave it to his wife. He also had a peacock put on the livery of his servants. They tell how when Mrs. Carnegie was buying her wedding trousseau in this city years ago she was waited upon by a handsome young saleswom an to whom she told her secret. “I'm to be married, too,” confessed the young woman. “That is my in tended over there—Mr. Peacock.” "That’s a Scotch name,” said the future Mrs. Carnegie. "Where does he come from?” "From Dunfermline, ma’am,” replied the salesgirl. Andrew Carnegie learned about the incident, and in due time the ironmaster brought Peacock to Pittsburg anti made the floorwalker a millionaire. At the Waldorf one morning Mr. Peacock was discovered scribbling on a sheet of paper in the writing-room. A friend asked him what he was doing. “Oh. my wife at breakfast ust now insisted that l was worth $10,000,000. I think it is only $7,000,000. She is usually right, but I can’t find the other $3,000,000 this morning.” Married Mother's Maid. John Alston Moorhead is one of the latest. He was a heavy man on the Yale football team and also pulled in the crew. He never did anything else to deserve particular distinction. Only a few weeks ago he eloped with his mother’s French maid. They have not been entirely forgiven yet, but it is understood that John Alston is be ing treated in a New York sanitarium, his father paying the bills, and it is said the little French maid is crying her way back to sunny France, welj paid, if cash can make it good, but with her foolish little heart broken. More recently the limelight of noto riety has been turned upon W. E. Corey, one of the best known of the Carnegie group of Pittsburg million | Harry K. Thaw the Only One of Gay Crowd That Has Essayed the Novel Sensa tion of Murder, But All Have Sought in Startling Manner to Dissipate Their Easily Earned Millions. — - Corey's Lurid Exploits. Some time afterward Sir. Corey gave Mr. Schwab a Lucullian t'east. The costliest wines, the daintiest iat-ioi.se fruits and the rarest flowers were lib erally provided. The waiters wore 1 colonial costumes with powdered wigs, and the souvenirs were silver card cases. Previous to this, however, Mr. Corey had emulated other Pittsburg rich men by figuring in q swimming party of which Miss Maybelle Gilman, an actress, was a member. The party I took place at the Pittsburg natatorium. i There were hot birds and cold bottles | and some very pretty exhibitions of j plain and fancy swimming. At this party an infatuation for Miss | Gilman is said to have sprung up on the part of the millionaire. An es trangement took place between Mr. ; and Mrs. Corey supposedly on account j of Miss Gilman, and at present Mrs. Corey is in the west, where she is re siding with a view to securing a di vorce. During the course of business in Pittsburg Andrew Carnegie trans formed Gibson D. Packer from a poor man into a millionaire. Mr. Packer did not miss his chance to get before the public. Mrs. Mary I. Vetter, armed, it is said, with 140 love letters, pre pared to sue Mr. Packer for $100,000 for breach of promise. There were many pledges of affection in the shape of jewelry. Contemporaneously with the Thaw murder Mrs. Scott Hartje, the wife of Augustus Hartje, Pittsburg millionaire paper manufacturer, has begun suit against her husband for divorce. Mrs. Hartje says that her husband wore paper collars for years; that he would buy a $1,500 horse over the telephone and the next minute refuse Mrs. Hartje's request for three dollars for a pair of shoes. Some of the charges of both Mr. and Mrs. Hartje cannot be printed here. Frank Galcv, nephew of John H. Galey, partner of Col.

Ulbere Cborus Beauties Come Tror =^=sasssssss5s=r=s=ssss==s=s=s= By FRANK HENNESSY. Theatrical Manager and Student of Sociology. The beauty of the New York girl in such a mass as we see in the front rows of the mati nee seats, and in the front rows of the chorus, is due entirely to the constant recruit ing to the whole with pretty faces from Oil Pennsylvania produce the real stunning, faces that freshen up the chorus ranks from time to time. Indiana is another state that despite its malaria and swamps pro duces some remarkable beauties, and Ohio has almost as great a rep resentation by its good looking girls on the stage as it has by its men in politics. Colorado has contributed some "peaches." as the term goes, and California seems to have a pretty-girl atmosphere when you come to count the amount of San Francisco girls who lead in beauty contests on the stage. There is a distinct difference in the temperament of t' • girls who come from the interior states, so-called, and that of the girls of New York or California. There is something in the spirit of the girls from these latter places that seems to impel them to go on and up in the work they have chosen, and they are looking for a chance to improve and take advantage of their beauty to shine as “stars,” while the girls from the interior states are always looking for a chance to get married. The New York girl has a chicness and a spirit that none of the other types possess, but the reputation the New York girl has in the wide world for the beauty of her as an entirety is due to the constant migration of the pretty girls from the country who come to New York for fame, husbands or both. EXCELLENT SANDWICHES. There Are Sandwiches and Sandwiches —Ones Here Given Not of Res taurant Order. V. ______ The following attractive recipes for sandwiches appeared originally in the Ledger Monthly; Chicken or Turkey.—Cut cold roast ed chicken or turkey into fine slices, spread some thin slices of bread with a canape sauce; put two slices of bread together with a slice of chicken between, trim the sandwiches neatly, cut them in three-cornered pieces and serve on a folded napkin; or spread the bread with butter, lay on the chicken, sprinkle over a little salt, lay over the other slice. When they are all prepared in this way, cut in round or diagonal pieces, and serve on a folded napkin. Another way is to mix two table spoonfuls of butter with one table spoonful of French mustard, spread the slices of bread with the mustard butter, put a slice of roasted chicken, turkey, cold roasted veal or boiled ham between two slices, and finish the same as above. Lettuce Sandwiches.—Spread some thin slices of bread with a canape sauce, put two or three young lettuce leaves between; cut them even all around, then into three-cornered pieces. Club Sandwiches.—Have some bread cut into fine slices and toasted to a nice brown color: on to a slice lay a crisp lettuce leaf, on to which put two very thin slices of fried crisp bacon, then a slice of turkey or roast ed chieken, again a slice of boiled ham, two small slices of crisp fried bacon, last a lettuce leaf, and place on all another slice of toast. Press firmly with the hand to pack it, then cut it diagonally in half. Sandwiches a la Brigum.—Cut 12 thin slices of bread; mix four ounces of butler with one tablespoonful of English mixed mustard, spread this over the slices of bread, lay on this butter some finely chopped pickles,' dip some lettuce leaves in mayonnaise, lay them over the pickles, and lay over the lettuce leaves a thin slice of chicken meat, then some more let tuce leaves, mayonnaise and finely chopped hard-boiled eggs: cover with a slice of buttered bread, trim them neatly, and cut them in triangles, and arrange the sandwiches on a folded napkin. some" salad' recipes. A Nice Fruit Salad, a Peanut Salad. One cf Cabbage and Two Kinds of Salad Dressing. Fruit Salad.—Peel four oranges and separate the lobes, cutting each lobe into four pieces. Scald and blanch and skin a cup of English walnut meats, then dry the kernels and set away to cool. Mix the oranges with the kernels and add a half cup of skinned white grapes. Set all in the ice for an hour, then heap on crisp lettuce leaves and serve with mayon naise dressing. i-eanui ouiaa.—snen ana siun roast ed peanuts and soak for an hour in salad oil. Drain, chop fine with half as many pitted olives, and as much celery. Season with salt and pepper, and scatter over leaves of crisp let tuce. Serve with a cream dressing. Cabbage Salad.—Choose white cab bage and shred it. Set in the ice for an hour, put into a chilled bowl and serve with sour cream dressing. Sour Cream Salad Dressing.—Set a cupful of cream in the ice until thor oughly chilled, then beat for five min utes. adding as you do so a table spoonful of powdered sugar and a half teaspoonful of lemon juice. Serve at once. Cream Dressing.—Beat two eggs very light, add salt and pepper to taste, half a teaspoonful of mixed mustard and three tablespoonfuls of whipped cream. Beat hard and serve.—Farmers’ Review. CUSTOM HARD TO FORGET Employe Simply Couldn't Help Jug gling with the Scales When Hogs Were Weighed. Even before the days when Mr. Ar mour was able to step to the tele phone every morning and fix the meat prices of the world, it wras almost a universal habit of the individual hog buyers to see to it that they stood no chance of loss in purchasing the hog raisers’ products. The method was to juggle with the scales. An honest hog-buyer started up in business and guaranteed the farmers a fair deal. He always weighed the porkers twice to guard against mis takes. Once , in weighing a bunch of pigs the second time, he found their weight had increased to the amount of 200 pounds. i He was at a loss to account for the condition until an employe confessed that at the first weighing he had in serted the toe of his boot under the scales and pried it up, thus cheating the farmer out of one hog. The buyer was indignant. “What did you do a trick like that for?” he asked. “You couldn't have profited by it, anyhow.” “I know it, John.” said the guilty man, "but 1 just couldn’t help it.” It had always been the custom to cheat the farmer and the man couldn’t bear to see the old customs passing away.—Kansas City Times. Summer Squash. A very pleasing way to serve sum mer squash is as follows: Wash two of them, pare anil cut in pieces about an inch square. Cook them in boiling salted water until tender. Drain in a colander, pressing hard to extract all the water, turn into a bowl, and mash perfectly smooth. Beat two eggs lighf and whip into them a small cupful of rich sweet milk and a tablespoon of melted butter. Beat this mixture into the squash, season with salt and pep per, and turn into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and bits of butter and bake until firm. A Poor Excuse.

The bearer of unpleasant tidings rarely appreciates how hard he strikes. Hold fast to a truth without re gard to what others may think of you. The value of wealth cannot be es timated by those who do not possess it. It does one no harm to call atten tion to the good that may De seen in others. An assumption of humility does not always carry with it the appearance of honesty. Because others may overestimate your value is no reason for your do ing likewise. Jumping at conclusions without facts shows a ready mind, if not a well-balanced one. Words can be used so as to increase their importance even in telling an ordinary story. The ravages of time come creeping along no matter how effectively they may be concealed. MiVCA TfOXAL.
