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.

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

section 23. one-half mile: east 1. north
