Loup City Northwestern J. W. BURLEIGH, PubliBhcr. LOUP CiTT. . - - NEBRASKA. New Army Bullet. It would seem that in the type of bullet about to be adopted by the army there is a potent argument foi peace. This bullet is a third light er than any now in use, but it is most deadly. Its penetrating power is such that at a mile it would pass through 15 men, if these had the mischance to stand in line in front of it. At short range, says the Phila delphia Ledger, it will go through 39 inches of seasoned oak. At 500 yards 32 inches of white pine fail to stop it, and at 1,000 yards it is equal to piercing 14% inches. The day when safety lies in dodging behind a tree appears to be passing. The strong point about this admirable bullet is the flat trajectory. With the present style of bullet, fired at a target 1,000 yards distant, one could stand with perfect immunity at many points be tween the muzzle and the target, as at 50 yards the missile would pass 17 feet over his head. The new bul let shows a ten-foot rise at this dis tance. Almost the entire space between muzzle and target would be a zone of danger. Only one fault is found by experts with the modern bul let, and this is a lack of accuracy. They think this may be overcome, and even if it shall not be remedied a regiment advancing and sowing the field ahead with bullets capable of penetrating whatever they happen to hit would disconcert the enemy. It is not probable that advocates of peace will admire the fresh device for promoting the effectiveness of troops, but they may gain some comfort from the thought that an implement so de structive might give pause to the im pulse to declare war, and, anyhow, that a battle marked by its use would be brief. . The Motor-Eye. To the Academy-neck, the bridge Drain, and the cycle-arm, must now be added the motor-eye, and the wonder is that it has remained unnamed and undiscovered till “Marmaduke” has, this week, introduced it in the "Graphic,” where it is written that the medical profession has to deal with. It appears that those who are continually rushing through the coun try in a motor-car cause the eye to take a too rapid impression of the things it encounters, and that this affects the mechanism of the eye. Na ture did not prepare us for the con ditions of mode.rn times, and while it is adapting itself to them many un foreseen circumstances must occur.” But nature has at all events been good to us in this respect, that whenever there is need for the coinage of a new term the talent is always at hand to supply it. And when it is the name of a new malady, then this talent rises to positive genius, with the result that the nation's vocabulary increases by leaps and bounds. The National Debt. Only about $180,000,000 of the pres ent bonded debt of the United States is redeemable within three years, and there should be no difficulty in paying that amount within the period, says the Bankers’ Magazine. More than $118,000,000 is not redeemable for nearly 19 years, while nearly $596,000, 000 has 24 years to run. It is true that the government has reduced the rate of interest. In 1894 $25,000,000 of the debt bore 2% per cent., $50,000,000 five per cent, and the remainder four per cent. Now $235,000,000 bears four per cent., about $64,000,000 three per cent, and nearly $596,000,000 two per cent. Of the long-time bonds, how’ ever, the interest on $118,000,000 to maturity will amount to 75 per cent, of the face value, and on the $596,000, 000 to nearly 50 per cent. The ‘‘intellectuals” of Sweden have been much exercised over the king's refusal to ratify the election of Prof. Schuk, of the University of Upsala, to the Swedish academy, although he was elected by an overwhelming ma jority of the academicians. The rea son of King Oscar’s opposition to him is that he has written a history of Gustavus III., the tone of which is displeasing to the present sovereign. Partisans of the professor have been saying that this is going a long way for an offense, since Gustavus 111. has been dead much more than 100 years, and considerably antedated the found ing of the present Bernadotte dy nasty. But apparently the “freedom of teaching” is doomed to meet snags now and then, in Sweden as well as in America. There are too many attachments to our schools—indeed, it has come to pass that they are schools and some times more. They should be simply schools, says the Indianapolis News. At least social distractions should be kept out of them. Parents, often at large expense, send their children away to boarding school that they may have time for their studies and be freed from the demands of society. But we are making our high schools social institutions. This, we think, is a tendency that should be checked. Some of the Russian nobility have started the first golf club in their country. Doubtless they have already installed an expert inspector of golf balls to weed out any small dynamite bombs that may become mixed with them.

HOW STENSLAND WAS CAPTURED Story of the Pursuit and Apprehension of the President of the Wrecked Milwaukee Ave nue State Bank of Chicago. Run to Earth at Tangier, Morocco, the Man Chiefly Responsible for the Rob of Thousands of Poor Depositors in His Institu tion Comes Back to the United States to End His Life b the Penitentiary—Days and Nights of Misery Since His Flight from Chicago. Chicago.—The story of the pursuit and capture of Paul O. Stensland, president of the wrecked Milwaukee Avenue State bank, is one of the most dramatic in the history of those all too frequent events. Traced from this city to Tangiers, Morocco, he was apprehended there by Assistant State's Attorney Olsen, who was ac companied by a representative of the Chicago'Tribune. Not less interesting is Stensland’s account of the circum stances leading to the wrecking of the bank and the despoiling of thou sands of depositors of the poorer class of the savings of their lifetime. Told in detail by the Tribune representative the story is as follows: It was the old story of a woman scorned that led to the finding of Stensland's trail. One of his numerous friends who thought she had been shabbily treated put the authorities in possession of the first hint as to the fugitive’s whereabouts. Her infor mation was indefinite, but investiga tion proved its probable accuracy. Finally, on August 13, it became certain that he was in Tangier and had been for 16 days. The facts were laid before State’s Attorney Healy He was asked if he could send a man with a representative of the Tri bune to an unknown destination, where it was expected to find- Stens land or his trail. Mr. Healy accepted the proposition and Assistant State’s Attorney Harry Olsen was ordered to meet the representative of the Tribune in New York on Monday, August 20. The next day Mr. Olsen and the Tri bune man sailed on the liner Kaiser ■Wilhelm H. Paris was reached Monday, August 27, and was left Tuesday at noon. Madrid was reached Wednesday after noon, August 29, and Gibraltar 26 hours later. On Saturday morning, September 1, the boat was taken for Tangier, the Moorish city being reached early in the evening. Back to Gibraltar. All Saturday night and until four o’clock Sunday afternoon, September 2, the investigation proceeded. At every town Stensland’s tracks were uncovered and the last clew pointed to the Grand hotel at Gibraltar. It was as follows: Assistant State's Attor ney Olson had represented himself to the keeper of the hotel where Stens land stopped at Tangier as his son. Stensland, as has been stated. Is trav eling under the alias of P. Olsen. The names were the same and the two men do not look unlike. The hotel keeper believed the story, but could give no direct information as to Stensland's whereabouts. As he was riding to the hotel at midnight after getting the governor of the French bank out of bed, a voice from a Moorish cafe sung out: “I say, Olson, I think I know where your governor is.” We dismounted as the hotel man continued: ‘‘You left the old man in ‘Gib.’ A friend of mine just come over on the night boat says he saw him at the Grand hotel.” When we left Tangier Sunday after noon, September 2, for Gibraltar to run down the Grand hotel clew we left 25 Moorish and Arab scouts to guard all the entrances and exits. Less than an hour after the Olden burg, the German steamer bearing Stensland from the Rock to the Moor ish coast, reached port our Arab chief of scouts sent a cable to’us at Gibral tar announcing the arrival of the boat and the presence on board of the man we wanted. Hired Special Steamer. We began negotiations for a special steamer to bring us back to Tangier. Finally a small steamer was chartered and permission obtained from the of ficer of the guard to leave port. At midnight we turned tail on the Rock and headed across the straits. It was four o'clock in the morning when we rounded Malabat Point and saw the red light above the gate of the city of Tangier. The steamer Oldenburg lay half a mile off shore. We hauled alongside and asked if the passengers had land ed. It was great relief to hear that they had not, as we feared that if so Stensland might have been warned and started for the interior. This would not have prevented his capture, but would have delayed it and made lots of trouble. Stensland Comes Ashore. Forty minutes later a boat put off from the German steamer and headed for the pier. In the stern sat Stens land, looking fat and hearty. He climbed up the steps to the wharf chatting gayly with four German fel low passengers. We trailed slowly behind Stensland up the steep, hilly streets. When the British post office in Soko Chico square was reached Stensland entered. “Any letter for P. Olsen?” he asked. “No, sir.” “If any comes I want you to please forward it. “All right, sir. Please write your forwarding address,” said the clerk, pushing forward the book in which such instructions are written. In a firir^ hand Stensland had writ ten “P. oTsen, British post office,” when Olson and I stepped up. I tapped him on the left shoulder and said: “Write your own name, Stensland, and instead of ‘Morgador,' where you think you are going, write it ‘Chicago,’ where you really are going.” Then occurred a sublime flash of nerve on the part of the husky Norse man. Gripping the pen in hand and shaking as if with palsy he forced the pen across the paper and wrote "Mo gador’ ’after the name he had already written there before I had interrupted him. Then he turned like a wolf at | /N A 'THfflPREST OF ^TFFSLFND \ Dumwdomfr romcmm/tm ' AH' =~ i y /V/FD/r/tTMC SU/C/D£ bay, and, by a supreme effort retain ing control of his voice and features, said: “No, no, I think not. You cannot take me. I will not go.” "But you will go,” he was answered. “Listen. You think this is a protected country. It is not. You made a big mistake. You will be arrested here, thrown into a Moorish prison, then taken aboard a United States warship and shipped in irons to the United States. The question is, do you want to go back as a gentleman or as a felon?” Prisoner Is Obstinate. Stensland was obstinate and de clared we could hot take him and that he would not go voluntarily. As a matter of fact, we had no legal right to stop Stensland. Technically we were guilty of kidnaping, and the situation began to look serious. The American minister could not “order | Stensland'sarrest until he had received instructions from Washington. These had been cabled for the night before, but had not arrived. If Stensland had only known this he could have walked out and told us to go to blazes. He could not have escaped ultimately, but he could have caused us lots of troublb. Just as we were about to take re nearly 60 years old. God! God! God!” Had Thought of Suicide. We took from the prisoner some carbolic acid tablets which he uses as a throat gargle. He smiled and said that if he had wanted to take poison he should have done so before running all over the face of the earth. “I thought to shoot myself three : days before I started,” said Stensland, : “and while standing on the bridge at Ronda, in Spain, I was seized with an , impulse to jump into the river and end 1 it ail. But I made up my mind to live a little longer, anyway. Now I am ; glad I did not kill myself. I am going to make a new start w^ien I get out of; the pen.” As a matter of fact Stensland failed to take the most simple measures to j hide his identity. In his trunk were | found four volumes of Ibsen, all with Stensland's full name on the flyleaf. His key ring bore the tag of the Mil waukee Avenue State bank. The most amazing blunder of all was across the end of his big trunk in white letters three inches high, “Paul O. Stensland.” “I did not notice this,” said he “till crossing from Gibraltar.

The best mode of testing for this disease is to place the finger on one side of the child’s nose so as to close one opening to see if the child can with mouth closed breathe through one nostril. In the worst cases the child cannot breathe with the mouth closed, even if both i nostrils are open. Care needs to be exercised in testing for defective hearing (which is course to argument and threats, tell ing him we would follow him to the end of the earth and capture him eventually, salvation came from Min ister Gummere. James Martin, of the American legation staff appeared with a note from the minister saying if I had notified the state department he would take the responsbility of de taining Stensland, pending advices from Washington. By this time the fugitive banker had wilted and he agreed to return to America with us any way we chose without process. During the long afternoon in the of fice of the American consul Stensland talked broken heartedly with us and finally made a full confession to As sistant State's Attorney Olson in my presence. Puts Blame on Cashier. He said: "I cannot understand how the shortage can be $2,000,000. To my certain knowledge my liability to the bank does not exceed $500,000. Any thing over that must have been stolen by Hering. “My indebtedness began a long while ago, In 1890. It was a small af fair, a small amount, and God knows I never intended to steal. I was in a tight hole and needed money. I put my own note, genuine, not a forgery, in the box. Then it was suggested to me that the bank examiner would stand for it, and he did. “I never threw away money in any direction in my life. I never spent over $5,000 a year. I always was a worker. I never loafed in my life. I always was the first man at the bank and the last to leave it. “The money I took was invested, year after year, in an endeavor to make good. Every dollar went into real estate or business. "They were bad investments and to day I am arrested, a fugitive, with the certainty of a prison cell. And I am and happened to look down on the main deck and saw my trunk with my full name staring me right in the face. I nearly fainted. I got down as soon as possible and sat on the name for the rest of the voyage.” Stensland’s life of exile was hell on earth, according to Stensland. From the moment he left Chicago his every waking thought was pregnant with fear and his every sleeping moment filled with terrifying visions. Stenland’s Life in Tangier. Stensland's life in the Moroccan seaport had not been one of unalloyed happiness. He arrived in Tangier July 28 by the steamer Glbel from Gibral tar. He apparently made previous in quiries regarding the hotels, avoiding the large and prominent ones. He climbed the hill on which the quaint Moorish town is built, entered the city gate, and walked to the Grand Hotel Oriental. Stensland evidently thought himseJ absolutely safe from pursuit, or, lik' the majority of fugitives, became carts less as soon as he set foot on foreign soil. The day after his arrival he amazed Proprietor Sterwind by ex hibiting, as Sterwind said, “an awful lot of money and a great number of big bills.” As a banker Stensland knew which was the best bank in Tangier, and, mounting a mule, with a small satchel in hand, rode to the Comptoir Nation al d'Escompte, where he said he want ed to make a deposit and open an ac count. When he dumped $12,000 on the counter the eyes of the clerk bulged out, and he called M. Gaurant, the gov ernor, who questioned the prospective customer. Stensland, in answer to M. Gaurant's inquiries, said he came from America, and when further questioned as to why he carried money in such shape and had no letter of credit, said he thought he would get the worst of exchange and concluded it was best to carry currency. Stensland soon became a conspicu ous figure in Tangier. The Oriental hotel stands just between the Mosque Dramakebir and the Cafe Francaise. Stensland gave the mosque the cold shoulder, but the Cafe Francaise, the Cafe Imperial, and the Cafe Turkesque found a good customer in him. Every night he climbed the hills and wound his tortuous way through alley-like streets, from one to the other. Mme. Yvette, at the Francaise, was his fa vorite chanteuse. Spanish Dancer His Favorite. But his real favorite was Senorita Vittoria, a Spanish dancer from Se ville, who performs with exceptional abandon the fandango at the Cafe Im perial. Her partiality for him aroused a feeling of jealousy in the breast of an Arab chief who enjoyed the smiles of the danseuse until Stensland ap peared on the scene. After his arrest and confession Stensland was a broken down, aged man. All night he wept continuously and at times his paroxysms of tears so alarmed the guards they were on the point of calling a doctor. Stensland ' suffered also severe physical pain in addition to his mental agony. On Friday, September 6, instruc tions from the state department at Washington were received by Minister Gummere to surrender Stensland to the custody of “James Keeley and Harry Olson as the officially appointed agents of theUnited States.” We gave a formal receipt for the prisoner, Stensland himself signing it as a wit ness to our signatures. The first step after receiving the prisoner was to arrange for safeguard ing him. Accompanied by an attache of the United States consular office, we at once rode to the Kasbah. which is the joint Moorish prison and adminis trative building. The basha, Sid Ca dor Belghasi, was found sitting in the messooar, or “salon of complaints,” where he receives those who are wronged and want stern aud instan taneous Moorish justice. Through an interpreter we informed the basha that Stensland had been turned over to us and that we wished to make arrangements for porperly safeguarding him until the time of our departure. The basha expressed great apprecia tion of the honor done him in asking his aid and said that a cell in the pris on was at our immediate disposal, at the same time calling an officer of the guard to show it to us. Declined Offer of Cell. The cell was extremely uninviting, and we had heard horrible stories of what had taken place behind the ram parts of the Kasbah. We decided it would be neither humane nor politic to confine Stensland there, as Assist ant State’s Attorney Olson wanted to bring home a liveman. not a corpse. Arrangements finally were made for a guard of six soldiers under the abso lute orders of ourselves. Two were to be placed on the roof, two at the only I door, and two inside. The prisoner was moved to liis new quarters at once, there to remain until arrange ments for transporting him to the ; United States had been made. September 12 Stensland and his cap . tors left Tangier for New York on a German liner which had called at the port by request of the state authori ties at Washington. often associated with adenoids) to prevent the child from getting sugges tions through other senses than the ear or from the v tice of the observer. Tests for nervousness arc often needed because teachers get used to their children and are then unable to sec the peculiarities that are indica tive of abnormal nervous systems. Children may be asked to stand with hands stretched out in front to observe for the nervous hand described by Dr. Warner and for lack of erect symmetrical position, and to stand with eyes closed, hands stretched out at the side while observations as to swaying and unequal elevation of hands are made, or to sit perfectly still for a min ute or two while the number and irregularity of movements are noted. Physical tests and measurements made one or more times each year indicate whether the bodily conditions are favorable to physical vigor and the ability to endure any unusual strain, but in detecting temporary unfit ness for work tests cannot take the place of the keei^ in tuitions of the ex perienced teacher.” Origin of Bride Cake. Bride cake is a relic of the Roman confarreates. a mode of marriage practiced by the highest class in Rome. In confarreation the bride was led to the altar by bachelors, but con ducted home by married men, and the ceremony took place in the presence of ten witnesses by the Pontifex Maxi mus, whereupon the contracting par* ties mutually partook of a cake made cf salt, water and flour. As Dan Gronoway, foreman of ths colliery was directing the installatior of a new wire cable in the tipple, h( was signaled by a good-looking, styl ishly dressed young woman standing on the track by the box car loader. “Mr. Gronoway?" she chirruped extending a gloved hand to the sooty one of the mine boss reluctantly held out. “The same, ma'am,” said Dan, with the air of a man to whom time is money. “My name is Ethel Hunter," she said, in a friendly way. "1 am trav eling representative for the Ladies' Delight, a beautiful publication, and when 1 sell so many copies I get a teachers' course free in the uni versity.” “Yes'm," was the foreman’s brief response, as he began edging off. “I want to go down in the mine.” “The de—I mean, yes'm,” said Dan, recovering himself. “.When can 1 go?” “Ye can't go at all.” “But 1 have a written order from Mr. Thurston, the manager.” "Then let Mr. Thurston come and show ye around.” The young woman looked wuth troubled eyes into the stern face of the foreman. “I heard you wore such a nice man, she said. “They be telling lies on me,” re turned Dan, though not unkindly. “But, look a here, Miss—er—” Hunter.” “Miss Hunter—it's as dark as - stack of black cats down there, and there be mule trains whizzing by every blessed minute, and the cross entries has got water in 'em and there be rats as big as cats.” The young woman burst into tears. Several men had gathered around, during the colloquy and looked sym pr-thizingly at the fair petitioner. “And I wanted to be a teacher, so as to support my poor old mother and little brothers and sisters!” she sob jed. A slight framed, wiry man touched the foreman on the arm. “I'll go with her, Dan,” he whis pered. The good Samaritan was Jack Rich ards, a shot firer. The young woman with a big family responsibility wiped her eyes and looked gratefully at the slight framed knight. By a con temptuous shrug of his shoulders Dan indicated the washing of his hands in connection with the whole fool business, and returned to his wire cable. As the seven o'clock whistle was splitting the air above the engine room of No. 8 the next morning the lady with a mission appeared at the tipple and sought her cavalier. She was attired in a coarse black gap ment and wore a heavy shawl over her head, but it did not hide seduc tive litt’.e curls which peeped out over the white forehead. . At the bottom Jack filled and hand ed her a pit lamp, which she took gingerly and transported at arm's length. The shot firer loaded her with advice, which she took with mur murs of gratitude. When they got out on the far en tries, where the miners were at work the lady proceeded to business. In most of the rooms it was not necessary to go into details about the widowed mother and little children before the dollar came for the Ladies' Delight. Where they didn't have the money, she took :.n order on the treas urer. Not a man balked. It would look mean, they thought, to turn down a handsome lady'who had defied the horrors of the underground world to visit them. The woman solicitor had a way ot talking which made each man think she had gone down on purpose to see him. They had never heard of the Ladies’ Delight, and wouldn't have known it from an almanac of the vintage of ’76, but they did know this young woman knew how to talk, and that she was brave and pretty. At the end of the second day, when a complet haul had been made in the mine, Miss Hunter turned to her es cort. “I guess you think it funny, Mr. Richards,” she said, "that I go down in the mine after men to sell them a woman's paper rather than see their wives, who are up on earth.” "It did look a little odd at first,” re plied the shot-firer, "but I believe I know the reason now.” The lady smiled. “I began in the mines of Wyoming,” she said, "and then through Kansas. I’ve been in every mine in this dis trict. Out there at 61, where they employ Italians and negroes who can't read, over half of them subscribed. If I’d worked them on top 1 wouldn’t have taken six subscriptions. Now, you’ve been good to me, my friend, and I—” # “Don’t mention it,” said Jack, back ing off. She was reaching into her handbag where she kept her money. “Yes, sir, she said, firmly, “I will. You've been with me two whole Jays now, and I know the time of a gen tleman of ability is worth some thing. Here—take this.” She handed him a small, square package, neatly tied up. The shot firer thanked her warmly and assist ed her into the cab which was waiting for her. Then he opened his pres ent.

The king, who was prince of Wales for a longer period than any of his predecessors, is said to speak a few words of Welsh. There is a story told of a Chicago girl, the daughter of a millionaire, who, in the days be fore his majesty had ascended the throne, had determined to visit Eng land. A friend found her studying Welsh, and in reply to a question the girl said: "I’m going to be presented to the prince of Wales when I'm in London, and I should like to be able to speak to him in his real native lan i eutige.” PERUNA PRAISED i ■■ mr "1 MRS.
