Notice to Our Readerf. According to a recent ruling of the postotBce apartment. all subscript ' tions to weekly newspapers must not' be in arrears more than one year to entitle the publisher to the second 1 class rate of postage on his paper.’ This being the case, all subscriptions' to the Northwestern may hereafter be dropped when the payment is one or more years in arr. ars. We dislike very much to have to do this, but if we allow subscriptions to run longer unpaid, we must, according to the autocrats of the department, affix a one-cent stamp to any such sub scription each week, which of course cannot be afforded at the low rate of one dollar per year. Hence, if you do not receive your copy of the North western hereafter you may know you are in arrears for one year or more, and this is a courteous request for any such to come and pay up. if they • \ wish the paper, and all in arrears are : \ urgently asked to settle their back j Subscription, whether they continue j Tte readers or not. Please do not: Dt^ne us in this matter, as it is the j oniw^ourse we may pursue. 3 on 62T Ashley Conger, the dray man. Get him. A Loans on Final Estate, t-0it on John IP Long.

Chris Rasmussen Insane Chris Rasmussen, a farmer living near Hazard, in Scott township, was brought to Loup City, Tuesday morn ing, by Sheriff Williams, on a com plaint made the day previous by his family, represented by his son, Carl Rasmussen, that the father was of unsound mind, and the family wished him brought before the board of in sanity. At a hearing Tuesday after noon, from his actions and from wit nesses, he was adjudged insane and yesterday morning was taken to Hastings by the sheriff and two assistants. The previous night at the hotel he was quite boisterous, though not dangerous. His dementia, principally, takes the form that he has been ordained by God to emanci pate the laboring' man from the oppression of the money power. When taken by the sheriff at Hazard, he had ridden into the village on horseback, at the top of the animal’s speed, his reckless riding seeming to be aimless, and when caught by the sheriff tried to ride the horse over that officer, but finally submitted to be taken in charge. He had cunning ly escaped from his home before day light, where he was in charge of several men who were keeping him awaiting the arrival of the sheriff. It is hoped a few months at Hastings will restore his mind. The patient is a well-to-do Danish farmer, with a wife and family of eight children. The evidence given was to the effect that he has been subject to certain illusions noticeable for the past four or five years. A Rural Route South. It is now morally certain that the rural route south from Loup City will be established by the government at a near day. Postmaster Owens has received communication from the department regarding the same and certain matters to be attended to before furthe- consideration of the matter. The same provisions will have to be fulfilled as with the route north, that of 75 families pledged to furnish approved mail boxes and the further fact that on the proposed south route there are five gates on winding road in sections II, 10, 0 and 4, which will have to be made auto matic or removed before said estab lishment. The proposed route covers the following territory: Starting at the postofllce the carrier will go west to city limits at center of east side of section 13, south to center of east side of section 36, three and a half miles; southeast to southwest corner of sec tion 5, one and three-fourths miles: east 1-2, south l, east 1-2. south 1, west 1, to southwest corner of section 17, four mifes; south 1-2, west 1, south 1 1-2, west 1, to southwest corner of section 25, four miles; north 2, east 1, north 1, west 1, to southwest corner of section 12, five miles; west, north west jfnd west to the southwest cor ner of section 5, four and five-eighth miles: north 1, east 1-2, north 1-2, to center of section 32, two miles; east 1-2, north 1-2, to southwest corner of section 28, one mile; northeast, east on winding road to southwest corner of section 23, four and one-eighth miles; north to center of east side of section 23. one-half mile: east 1. north 1. east 1-2, to Loup City postotlice, two and one-half miles: length of route, tnirty-three miles.
