L Loup City Northwestern I *• gqp v * — r-» * v. x*t.r- v f ^ PVOLUME XXIII. ,_LOUP CITY, NEBRASKA’ THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1906. NUMBER 37 gHE NORTHWESTERN IHjEftMS:—tl.OU PER TEAR. IF PAID IN ADVANCE Hfcntered at the Loup City Postoffice for tract. mission through the mails as second m’ class matter. Jpfflce ’Phone, - - - R8 Residence ’Phone, - - R15 I J. W. BURLEIGH. Ed. and Pub. r Reports from certain parties are ^■oing out that The Northwestern Els owned and controlled by W. R. ■lellor. In justice to The North -Western. we must brand sucli re Xpports as false, as Mr. Mellor has not Kt this time, nor ever has to our ^knowledge had one dollar invested in likhis paper. The ownership of The ■Northwestern is vested in the ■writer. J. W. Burleigh, and no other Iwan or company of men, own, control t or dictate its policy or are consulted B In regard to the same. We trust this I Is sufficiently plain to stop this report. ! According to the LincolnStar.Gov. I Mickey says lie is a receptive candi j date for the L’. S. senatorship, but will make no tight for it. We rather admire the “bull in the china shop” idea of of breaking in: that if a thing Is worth having, it is wortli going after. To our way of thinking, Gov. Mickey has had about all that is com ing to him, and about all he should ask for. Yet the Lord knows, the itch for office is of the accumulative Sort— the more you iich, the more you scratch for. Lay down. Brother Mickey, and annoint yourself with the oil of content till you get rid of the feverish desire. Your admini: trations have been clean and efficient, and all that any people could ask. Why should you tarnish or blemish their luster by the display of an inor dinate lust for office? Norris Brown is all right in his desire to be made a U, S. senator, but lie should call off some of his fool friends who persuade themselves they are a part of God’s annointedand any who fail to see tilings as they do are going to the demnition bow-wows, so U* speak. Some time since, The North western had an explanation of It's attitude on the senatorial question declining to be a boomer to any great extent, when one of the Brown sattelites. whose initials closely resemble those of Perkins of the St. Paul Republican, Immediately sent a broadside into poor us, loaded with the stuff we lave alluded to as "fool friendship," to the effect tlrnt we were looking for financial recompense, because we did not jump into the Brown vehicle instanter. It is such fool friends that disgust the conser vative element of any party, and hurt the cause of the men who are their political prophets. Can Norris Brown expect to swim to the shining shore With these millstones about his neckV Jt Is a little funny, but do you notice that the State Journal is blow ing hot and cold on every candidate for governor who comes out, unless it be. of course, our own John Wall. For some reason, it would not be hard to tell, John Wall is non persona grata to the Journal force of strikers. That paper talks a little for Sheldon, says ft kind word for Steele, avoids hitting Weston, let# Miles alone, but for John Wan, that hwnaeulate. never-does-a wrong-act paper, can not find a good word on any account, To hear the Journal wail, one would not suspect that any case of grafting was or ever could be suspected of it. The fact nevertheless exists that the State Journal was never known to advocate a man, a piece of legislative action or g solitary tiling that did not smell of State Journal gain to the immaculate gentleman wh° control its destinies. And for that and many Other of its personal re& ons tjf#2 Spate Jeupial cannot find a good word to say f<ir Hon. John Wall for governor, Teachers’County Institute, County institute begins next Mon day and all teachers are expected to be present. The instruction this year will be almost entirely professional, only enough academic work being done to furnish illustrations. The in structor* harp ft reputa tion and are expert# in their lines. An interesting feature of the work will be an exposition of a method of putting industrial work into the pri mary grades. Material has been pro cured and the teachers will be taught how to use it in actual school-room work. The primary instructor. Miss Greves. will also give a musical recital Illustrating the kind of music and gqr)£9 t'h!11suiuble for 11,6 Primr fy grade#, fete RWF metflod °f instruction in the wwY of toMung music to chiJdren, Tills recital will be given at the opera house, and will be interesting to all, whether they have children to be taught or net. The second part of the program will be of a character to entertain lovers of vocal music. It will be necessary to charge an admission fee for this feature of the institute, but no one who hears the lady sing will regret the slight expense. COUNTUETTERS Rockville Items.

All the fanners along the route are dqing line work in their field;;. £orn never looked cleaner than this year Patrons of the route should buy all their stamps, stamped envelopes, postal cards, get their money orders and register their letters and pack ages through the carrier, as the route has to do so much business each month to make it a paying aff air.
