A peculiar case was recently decid
ed in the supreme court. It was
from Custer county and was original
ly over three hogs. One litigant got
one of the swine and the other got
two, then the question arose over
who should pay the costs, which by
the time the suit was over amounted
to several times the value of the hogs.
Horace Robbins finally got his client
free from the cost. But the case
shows how men lose out for scrapping
over small matters which they could
have easily and amicably settled, sav
ing much money and at the same
time preserving something more
valuable than money—neighborhood
good will.—Ord Quiz.
The trip of the Lincoln baseball
club through the eastern cities of the

not been up to the standard on ac
count of the non-arrival of .lames and
the physical condition of Nagle, who
is suffering from a sore shoulder, yet
the team has done very well, breaking
even with Des Moines and Sioux City,
and in the two games played with
Omaha at this writing has taken one.
This is a good showing when it is
taken into consideration that ail
three of the above teams are at the
present time close contenders for lirst

Washington, I). C., June 4.—Sena
tor Burkett of Nebraska, O. Skyback,
secretary of the Norwegian legation,
and several others had a miraculous
escape from serious injury last night,
when the automobile in which they
were riding skidded while crossing
the Sligo, M. I>., bridge ten miles

vented from plunging over with its
occupants by the chauffeur’s presence
of mind and quickness in applying
brakes, They were returning from a
dinner given by the Seventh Day

guests. The heavy rains had made
the bridge floor slippery. The auto
mobile slid to the edge of the bridge,
which stands 100 feet above the
ground. Just at the edge the brakes
stopped the heavy machine.

The Northwestern is pleased this
week to be able to state on authority
that Uncle Lou Williams is an active
candidate for re-nomination and re
election to the office which lie has so
faithfully and efficiently filled for the
past three terms—that of sheriff of
Sherman county. It can be said,
without successful contradiction, that
Sheriff Williams has proved one of
the most efficient and painstaking
officers this county Sever had. To be
sure he has had, with the present,
three terms in that office, but it will
be remembered that during the first
two terms the emoulments of the
office were not even a moiety of that
needed to make it a paying place for
even the lowest salaried official; did
not give returns sufficient for even a
bare living. Later, the legislature
made a much needed financial change
and the past two years the office has
been paying a decent salary. This
was as it should be and now that it
is worth a man's time and powers,
we believe the man who held it down
when it did not give even a bare liv
ing should lie given a chance to hold
it down when it does, and thereby in
part recompense him for what he lost
in the initative. In what we have
said above, Mr. Wiliams is not in tlie
least responsible, but is given as our
best belief in the matter and trust
that he may, as he undoubtedly will,
be given another term in the sheriff's
office.
There seems to be a little lull in
the candidate mentioning so far this
week. For county treasurer, friends
of W. S. Waite have sprung his name,
but whether with his sanction, or
whether he is willing to make the
race, we are unable to state. How
ever, the Northwestern is of the
opinion that if Wilber gets into the
running, he will stand a very good
chance of securing the republican
nomination, and with that in his
possession he will give whoever is the
democratic nominee a hot-foot race
for the portfolio. All will acknow
ledge the gentleman is well qualified
for the place, is one of the best and
most favorably known men in the
county by reason of his long resi
dence and his connection with the
telephone company as general mana
ger. and all will be willing to attest
that he is most energetic, business
like and accurate in all his dealings,
courteous, pleasant and affable, and
an ideal man to deal with. With
these qualifications, W. S. Waite, if
he concludes to get into the running,
should and undoubtedly would be a
strong factor, with good chances for
winning out. So far as the North
western is concerned, it could and
would heartily support him for the
office, if he received the nomination.
The Northwestern wishes this
week to call the attention of natrons
of our schools and the citizens of
Loup City generally to the very
urgent need of a new primary build
ing being added to the school in
terests of the city. Our public school
building has become so crowded the
past year that it became necessary to
secure better quarters for the pri
mary departments and to that end
the German church building was
rented, refurnished in part and made
to meet the requirements of our in
creasing school population. However,
it has been determined that the
building is not such as is perfectly
suited for the little ones. The light
is not satisfactory for one thing and
is calculated to injure the eyesight
of the pupils: there is a lack of play
ground. There are many other,ar
guments to be brought forward why
the room is not the proper place
wherein to instruct our little people,
when taking into consideration their
health and the advantages that
should be of first moment in their
behalf. From what we can learn,
there are sufficient funds in the
treasury of the school board to erect
a good, commodious two-room build
ing for the primary departments, and
a building that would be up-to-date
in all its appointments, where the
light, heat,. ventilation and all the
conditions are of the best for the
health and preservation of the fragile
little (lowers of our households. Let
the subject be agitated. It is one
of our most urgent needs. What is
more important than the best wel
fare of the growing generation? It
were little less than criminal to en
danger the lives and health of the
little ones by poorly lighted, heated
and ventilated apartments, especially
when we have the money and can
secure for them what is needed and
what should be done at once. Who
will take up the cudgel with us in
behalf of this much-needed work?
Of course, you forgot to look for
the eclipse of the moon last Thursday
evening, didn’t you? Well, it came
on scheduled time and became total
at (5:58 p. m., even if you did not see
it. The moon entered the shadow of
the earth at 5:43; became totally
eclipsed at 6:58; remained entirely in
the shadow until 8 o’clock and wholly
emerged at 9:14. This was the first
of four eclipses which will take place
during this year, and all of them
but one, a solar eclipse, will be visible
in the United States. The next one
will be a total eclipse of the sun on
Thursday, June 17, and will start at
6:10 p. m., lasting nearly two hours.
Watch for it.

Praise and Blame.
The mere fact that praise and blame
are at present the corner stone of our
moral and social systems goes for
nothing. We shall outgrow that /ust
as we have more or less outgrown the
primitive desire to kill each other.
And can any one deny that a world in
which blame did not exist would be
far more habitable, civilized and logi
cal?
