Loup City Northwestern J. W. BURLEIGH, Publisher. LOUP CITY, - • NEBRASKA. Wives cf the Night-Riders. The night-rider wears . bl_ck mask. Some of them may make their own masks, but the chances are that there are many Kentucky housewives who have sat down w.th a piece of black cloth on their !e; s, a pai. of scissors have ctr. the holes in the goods, in order that th" cloth might net interfere with the vision, ana have sewed the strings to the piece of goods in order that it might be tied securely around tl.-i.' husbands heads In doing this. says "he Cincinnati En quirer, the chances are that these women have been prompted by the same spirit that the mothers ar.d wives were actuated by when they fitted out their -ons and husbands when they left for service in the Con federate and Union armies, back in the GOs. Then, again, the wives are bound to be- in <>11 ’he secrets of the night-riders, because i* would be nec essary* for these men to account to their wives for their absence at night. An explanation might be made once or twice, but it would Lot suffice for any length of time The exhaustion of limb, body and mind of the rider ar.d his horse cou.'d n * Ire kept secret from the wife, and this- who have read and heard of the operations of the horse men have no d- ubt that, while they are scurrying *fc: :uh the country on their mission of warning, and some times of devastation, the wives of ail of them are kee; ;ng a li nely vigil a* home and each r.e is wondering w hether the bat;d will be attache j and if it should be. whether her husband will escape with hi- life. Endowed Theaters. Sir. GranYil!- Bart - 'he Ena'.ish actor-manager. who it likely to. be the director of the endowed theater in New York, says that if plays were judged simply for their value as dra matic literature and were performed without the idea of pleasing the multi tude or of a long run. the result would be a wonderful improvement of the drama." Jus- how he makes this out is not clear. Plays that experienced managers think will not please the majority of theater-goers can only be produced in endowed theaters, and if in the latter place the;’ prove to have popular qualities such a fact will help to encourage more high-class produc tions perhaj s. i: :r if they please only the select few the average writer of plays will prefe • ,tudy the tast« : of the genera! p..b. • and produce work according y. Critic-, says the Indian apolis Star, often recommend boohs to the public whif: -he : ublic rubb mly refuses to read. It will reject ns em phatically play- that it does not like, even though the elect patrons of an endowed thea'er pronounce them good. Great Britain has adopted measures of reform in the military service. A feature of the system is the disband ment of the volunteer” organization, which approximated that of the militia in the United States, and the substitu tion therefor of a territorial army.” The changes made are much after the same order as those assured by the re organization of the American regular establishment and the closer assimila tion of the National Guard to the standing army. The tendency in both countries is to do away with military frippery and to promote efficiency England's volunteers were a showy body, but did not meet the require ments of a really up-to-date military organization, and the authorities over t. ere seem to have learned a lesson from American procedure. The bishop of London, in a recent call on the Anglican clergy and laity, emphasized the need of greater ac tivity by religionists of every name if London were to be sa/ed from re verting to a godless, religionless state. It is encouraging to read that the chief officials of the Protestant. Roman Catholic and Jewish communions in London are planning to work together, says the Boston Herald, and are to en list their adherents in a joint demand on parliament for certain remedial legislation. They are wisely planning to accept as allies the radical labor party. A trade hygienic institute is to be established in Frankfort, Germany) where all matters appertaining to the health and protection of German fac tory operatives and the working classes in general are to be studied and taught. Since the city waterworks of Cin cinnati were moved ten miles up the Ohio river, the number of typhoid fe ver cases has fallen off more than 5( per cent. It is an achievement thai fully justifies a feeling of deep satis faction. ifishop Fallows said to a Chicagc congregation that “People ought to be ashamed that they do not live to be 100 or 120 years old." But there are some who ought to be ashamed that they have lived as long as they have. Yale university falls into line and complies with the demand for high.'i education that will be useful to the business man.

Fifteen thousand dollars' damage* for libel is the ultimate result of i "muck raking" article in one of the popular magazines.

But it is likely that he has it | eluded ir. this estimate? the cost of th 1 establishment which maintains th ] ships. No mathematician has yet fif i ttreel out the cost of our ships of wa | on lines which would include the cos ' of yards, docks, etc. if this wer dene it would be found that under ou i present very absurd system, or rathe j very absurd lack of system, in ce>r I ducting naval affairs, the? cost of mair taining a British battleship would be 1 peior. cheap, and tawdry thing in con parison with the? cost of maintainin an American war vessel of the sam type. Over a Billion Since Spanish War. The new navy, which dates from th Spanish war. has cost to date $1,244 651,000. Of this sum $509,000,000 ha been expended on ships. The rest ha gone to the maintenance of th^ nava establishment. The cost of maintei ance of individual types is shown in series of tables prepared by the hi reau of supplies and accounts and ii corporate^ in the annual report of th paymaster general of the navy. Du: ing the fiscal year ended June 1907, the cost of maintaining the 1 battleships which are now in the Pj cific t\as as follows: Name. Alabama . Illinois . K*-arsargc . K-ntuck:. 1 Louisiana .

The Connecticut, flagship of th fleet, may be chosen as an exaropl of the various directions in which th money is extended. During the nin months of the fiscal year the mail tenance of that vessel cost 1410.531.0: Of this amount *232,749.£8 was for th pay of her officers and crew. Con muted rations amounted to $lS,S7G.9i For pilotage and postage the sum c $1.til7.71 was expended. The value c stores expended in the various depar tnents was as follows: Ordnanci $11,645.09; construction and repai $7,339.62; steam engineering. $33 £29 45; equipment, $7,287.09; supplie and accounts, $42,233.45; repairs t HEREDITY IN NATIONAL LIFE Past History of a People Determines Their Present Character. In the evolution of races and na tions we find at the outset two general laws, the one self-evident, the other i not apparent at first sight, but equally ! demonstrable, according . o David I Starr Jordan. The blood % a nation . determines its history. This is the ! first proposition. The second is, the history of a nation determines its blood. As for the first, no one doubts that the character of men controls their deeds. In the long run and with masses of mankind this must be true, however great the emphasis we may lay on individual initiative or on in dividual variation. Equally true is it that the present character of a nation is made by its past history. Those who are alive to day are the resultants of the stream of heredity as modified by the vicissi tudes through which the nation has passed. The blood of the nation flows in the veins of those who survive. Those who die without descendants cannot color the stream of heredity. It must take its traits from the actual i«rentage. Fungus Kilts Bark Beetle. The bark beetle which for several years has been working havoc in the valuable pine timber of the Black hills. South Dakota, has apparently ! Iteen given a check by a fungus which ' linds in the dying trees a congenial j place of lodgment, and at the same j time kills the beetles in the bark. There is hope, therefore, that the worst of the scourge in that region has passed. Unique New York Lot.

The armored cruiser has been tom ' pared to cavalry. A distinguisher naval officer says :hat ir is not com ’ , parable to cavalry. Moreover,” h< s adds, "no one has proved that a navi . needs anything comparable to the car ' airy. It is not comparable to the oav alry for the reason that it has no 1 nearly the same si>eed. relatively t< the other vessels of a fleet, that tb< cavalry lias to the other branches o an army; ami because it has not near ly the same ixiwer, either offensivi ’ or defensive, relatively to the othei ships, that the cavalry has to th« l" other branches. And a person woult have to labor hard to prove that i navy needs something comparable t< 1 cavalry: for how can one find on tlx ] I open sea. and within the restrictet ; i space which even the largest enemy'! ; j fleet can cover, any opportunity fo : those quick surprises, or those suddei 5 attacks on exposed lines of oommuni - cation, stretching away for miles y which is one of the principal employ mems of cavalry; and can one ever imagine a squadron of armoret * cruisers making a. charge in batth against battleships at ail comparabb s , to those charges of cavalry whicl a again and again in history have beet ; hurled with irresistible violence e against a vulnerable point?” e This officer does not wish to be mis e understood as questioning the useful e ness of armored cruisers; he merely i- questions the logicalness of an oft-re ' peated argument. "But at the sami e time," he says, "it may be well t< i- point out that, though we can find i I. use for our armored cruisers, now tha f we have them, yet nevertheless, if w< f had ten battleships instead of our tet armored cruisers, our fleet would b< ■. much stronger." Ccst of Establishments. . As has been said, no one has yet fig s ured out just what our ships cos: a when the cost of the establishment i: included. The one who has made the nearest a. ; . ach to it is Pay Inspector John A Madd. In a paper which is ’'isheti in the naval institute, this distinguished officer says that of the hundred millions annually appropri ated for the navy's support t IS.000. OOP n round numbers is spent to pay the wages of labor in navy yards. This amount, says the pay inspector, is nearly equal to what it costs to sup port the fleet in commission. The ae • ounting for the actual disbursement ; of these eighteen millions is thorough. too thorough, perhaps. The accounting 'or why the money was spent is > :nplj the unregulated and generally ■ unexamined show of results, with lit tle or no proof That the results equal ilie values expended. For the fiscal year of IPOS he adds •hat the cost of maintaining all ships m c mmission was $23,655,950.41. Returns fur this year show that there was spent for repairs to hulls, ma chine v and equipage of the ships $5.550 • 01. Thus the total cost of :he floating part of the establishment during the year, excluding cost of new construction t $31.764,550.59 alone t was $25,206,259.42. It cost during the same fiscal year to maintain all the navy yards and other shore stations SI l.HS.OSo.&l. Besides this there was • xtended for buildings, chattels, etc. and for machinery at these places the sum of J9.5S9.1S3.M9. making th* total of the ."a! maintenance cost of the shore part of the establishment $20. •'•91.263.90. Of cou'se this latter fig ure does not include the work done at the yards on or for ships: it is solely the cost of keeping the yards in such shape a? -o fit them for doing their work for the floating pa: - of the estab lishment. This cost alone of main taining the shore plant wtas tr.or-- than • vo-thirds the cost of the floating part, the fleet. Extravagance cf Shore Plants. Enumerating the various other ex penses of the yards and sta-ions. the i pay inspector makes the flat assertion iat over half of the total appropria tions for the navy are absorbed by the • shore plan's. Of the finished product. ; the warship in commission and be 1 yond the cohtroi of the land establish ment force, there is, he says, little to i say. Admitting the absolute necessity ! for that product, finished as it is to day. its administratiom away from the navy yards, is apt to be economical i enough, comparatively speaking. It is about the accounting for -he necessity for the expenses of the huge establish • - cr SS96 -:a?9 ® neat that supports the fleet that there , should Ik- concern. The paymaster thus pays his re spects to the bureau system of the navy department: “The bureaus." he l says, "do not represent principalities \ within ciear, uncrossed dividing lines. There are portions of the iiersonnel re , source* that, directly or indirectly, are under the influence of more than one bureau, and there are jiortions of the money resource that cannot be ex pended properly by one bureau with out advice or suggestion from another. This necessitates coordination in or der to accomplish. What an accept 1 able, inspiring word coordination is! The mention of it brings one's ' thoughts to peaceful achievement, to modern triumph over that business demon, waste. In the navy it means something like the general peace in ' Europe, where the dusty boundary stone is not needed to mark division between neighboring mighty states, the demarkation being more clearly shown by unbroken lines of waiting bayonets. Such is coordination to-day among the bureaus. Defects in Present System. ' Knowing that navy yard work. , even under businesslike administra- | tion. cannot be done, with the neces- j sary government methods to contend I with, as cheaply as similar work in j commercial shops, let us be libera!- ! minded. Then, also knowing that for i every boat tiller made there are thou sands of pick handles and lawn mow er:* let us admit that the minimum price of boat tillers made at the yards, one dollar, is a just and proper value. Does this give excuse for manufactur ing others at three dollars each? When 40 metal ^stateroom boxes, for officers' uniforms, were made at one yard for' $567, was it good policy to ( - manufacture 40 more, at the same1 time, at another yard not many miles away and with the same resources, a* a cost of $1,250.76? Where one yard was able to make 808 diuy boxes for $1,899.77. was it just to the Money for the Xrvy to spend $4,259.66. at the same time. aT another yard, in making a similar number? Prices Vary Greatly. The boats for the battleships are built, as to kind, on the same mode! and of the same material. Re cent!;.. at one yard, it cost S1.S90.63 *o make a 30-foot steam cutter, while at another, not many miles tfway, it cost $2,681.62 to build exactly the same kind of boat, to put on itoard the same kind of battleship. A 30-foot barge $671 8 at 1 and 11.15 another. Several 20-foot cutters cost, on the average. $598.61 at one yard and $848.1,; .it another. A 14-foot dinghy cos' $104.0* at one yard, while at anoTher the same kind of Itoa' was turned out for $153.61. A 16-foot dinghy cost $104.17 at one yard and $196.24 a. another—pretty close to twice as much, i will be observed. A 20-foot dinghy cost $217.89 a; one yard and $362.44 a* another. A 50-foot gig whaleboat cost $509.38 at one and the same kind of boat, for the same jtii.d of service, was turned out at another yard for the euphonious sum of 1888.80 > Turning to furniture: A mahogany de>k lor a cabin cost $136.76 at one yard, while at another, one made for a sister ship cost $190, there being no cents wasted on 'his latter price \n lesk cost $112.07 a: one yard and 1163.30 at another. Toilet racks for officers' rooms, of which there are more than 40 n ide for each battle ship. cost $14.'■' at one yard, while a' another exactly the same ar*;c!e was ms.-- \ t at $20. Curious Variations in Price. To make and fir into a battleship six galvanized boxes, for Sre clay, 30x24x15 inches, cost at one yard, for the oh. $!';7.01. and at another yard, to mak- similar boxes and to ft* then on board a sister battleship, it cost $384.12 - cost at one yard six dollars each: at another, iv47. and at still another. $20 8 4." The pay inspector asks if a change in the method ol appropriating nioney looking to the increased economical efficiency of the shore plant would affect the fleet, and answers his cwn question in the affirmative. Yes.' he says, materially, perceptibly, also 'SHWC CS n ~-s lately, at once. Every time a navy : yard clerk bungles or shirks his work, the fleet feels it: every time a navy yard mechanic goes to sleep in the bowels of the hull on which he is working, the fleet feels it: every time a supervising authority on shore is overcome by a feeling of laissez faire. j ^the fleet feels it; every time two de- , partments at a navy yard waste hours in friction, in bumptious quarreling, the fleet feels it. The fleet is as a seismometer, for inefficiency on shore. The shock of the full-paid workman idle at his job may not attract or d.nary notice, but it is recorded there ; just the same, and its mark may be deciphered by those who search and weigh and measure.”—X. V. Times. Bankers Liable for Advice. The highest court in Germany has. 1 in several recent cases, fixed the re sponsibility of bankers when advising investments to their clients. One of the latest decisions was refl- , dered against a bank which, upon re ceiving an order front a customer to ir^est $7,500 in certain mortgage j bonds instead of exeeutina the order. ; advised its customer to buy instead j the bends of another company, as ; equally safe and possessing advan- j tages over those ordered. The cits- : torner followed the advice, and when i the comrany failed he sued the bank, j The court in its decision against j th“ bank, held: "The bank has not j done its duty in taking care of its j customer's interests when it recom mended the purchased bonds to be as safe as those originally ordered to be purchased, because the bank should have known that the latter had the quality of legal or trust investment funds for widows and orphans, wards, etc., whereas ;he bonds advised and bought for the customer lacked that important qualification." 5 ? s ** r—^ r^~f S jp ci ii ^ j WT7H %?/czf£r* Tough Luck. ■; I'.-av hall a tall. i tv;- ?7nns )■--■! n- -r *' zrz :t i ccr/t h<e*d her Call!
