Loop City Northwester* J. W. BURLEIGH, Publisher. LOUP CITY ^ I 7 ""NEBRASKA Now the suoth pole might as well come In and surrender. Mexico has been giving a lifelike imitation of Noah's flood. Aeroplanes need something com parable to nonskidding tires. Lament of the north pole discov erer: "Nowhere to go but south!” Why curl up in despair at the sight of a yellow leaf when the swimming is still good? Paris plans to introduce a flying omnibus. It will make the under ground transportation popular. Why go to the north pole? Medi cine Hat is getting ready to turn out a superior line of goods from its weather factory. The king of Greece wants to give up his job. And there do not ap pear to be many applicants on the waiting list for succession. Now that the duke of the Abruzzi is planning to use the aeroplane in mountain climbing perhaps Weston will use it to make his feet happy. Neither explorer seems to have thought of the simple expedient of substatiating his claims of discovery by cutting initials and the date on the pole. Unless you know that the depth of the water is sufficient, look before you leap for one of those graceful dives of yours which are so greatly admired by your friends. The fact that the Emperor of Aus tria has made a Baltimore girl a prin cess only emphasizes the fact that na ture has made all American women queens in their oU-n right. The Crown Prince of Germany has blood-poisoning from the sting of a wasp. That is a little thing to seek prey in such eminence, but nowadays nobody is safe from getting “stung.” Now that the emneror.of Austria has made an American girl a real princess a rear-monarch of Portugal can marrv her without losing caste. The young wnrnnn’s money, however, needed no social white-wash. Tt is impossible to divorce capital and labor in the public consideration. Either without the other is hopeless, and when both are working in har mony. as at present, the largest meas ure of profitable accomplishment is possible. The law has its oddities and hu mors as well as other human occupa tions, and an instance of the former is the misfortune which befell a judge in Georgia who was put in jail for trying to break into a house to steal his own wife. The Colorado Pchool of Mines ex pects, if it can procure the necessary funds, to produce radium from the pitchblende ores of Gilpin county be fore the end of the rresent summer vacation. Colorado is a wonderful state, whose mineral resources con stitute one of the richest natural treas uries of the world. A German princeling has announced that he is coming to this country to marry a rich American wife, so he can pay his debts. Our national pride will be hurt by the bold asser tion that all be has to do is to come over and pick out a bride with a for tune, but unfortunately precedent shows that this foreign assurance of orr American girls is based on facts too strong for denial. As “hassenpfeffer” is a favorite Ger man viand, those who here indulge in it have a warning at the beginning of the season for rabbits in the fact that a resident of Newark. N. J.. had 22 No. 8 bird shot in his appendix, which was removed to relieve a se vere attack of appendicitis. He had eaten “hassenpfeffer” which included a rabbit that was well riddled with shot. The practical Germans are quick to seize a chance and turn it to account. They propose to establish an airship school at Friedrichshafen, the home of the Zeppelin industry, where the young idea may be trained to fly. The course of instruction will occupy two years and the graduates will be trained aviators. And who knows but degrees as aeronauts will yet be giv en by our universities and colleges? President Taft has refused pardon to a man convicted of subornation of perjury. This crime is one which should be the last to appeal for clem ency. It is deliberate, cold-blooded and it strikes at the very roots of the law’s power properly to protect society from crime and criminals. The sanc tity of the oath is the stronghold in which the law must intrench itself. That broken down, no security is left. It is true that all wealth comes from labor, but not necessarily from labor by the hands. The thinkers of the world have added inestimably to its development. It was a portrait paint er who invented the telegraph, a col lege professor who produced the tele phone, and the list might be extend ed almost indefinitely. It is well that to-day, with all our indulgence in rest and play, that we remember that it is intelligently directed energy of whatever kind which makes man bet ter and helps along the world to the millennial dawn. Dr. Jean Charcot’s expedition start ed a year ago for the south pole. If you hear jubilant whoops from that direction presently you will know what they mean. Six hundred Chinese students have taken examination for American col lege courses. Their expenses will be paid out of part of the Boxer indem nity which Uncle Sam handed back to China. Thus hard-working boarding house keepers' in our centers of the higher education will live to approve of the nation’s generosity. NEBRASKA IN BRIEF NEWS NOTES OF INTEREST FROM VARIOUS SECTIONS. ALL SUBJECTS TOUCHED UPON Religious, Social, Agricultural, Polit ical and Other Matters Given Due Consideration. THE MIDWEST LIFE. It costs for life insurance just as it does for other things, for groceries or clothing. Because a man is not dead at the end of the first, third or tenth year does not signify that the company is ahead the premiums paid it. Some have died during these years and it has taken a part of the pre miums paid by those still living to pay the death claims. No one who dies in the first few years his policy is in force has paid the company any thing like the amount it pays his beneficiaries. That will be apparent to all on reflection. Life insurance companies are great equalizers. They collect small sums from, many and pay large sums to the beneficiaries of the dead, or to the policyholders them selves in case of endowment policies. The Midwest Life issues all the standard forms of life and endowment policies at reasonable rates. The Mid west Life is an old line Nebraska com pany. Home Office 1007 “O’ street, Lincoln.

The date for the annual meeting of the State Library association, which will be held in Beatrice, has been fixed for October 19. F. E. Browns' store at Crab Orch ard was burglarized to the amount of about $600 in clothing, silks, shoes, jewelry, etc. Mrs. Ellen Phillips and Mrs. J. W. Akers of Dodge county were thrown from a buggy and both painfully, but not seriously hurt. Their horse be came unmanageable. The year and a half old son of John Moser, living north of Sutton, while at play in a carriage, fell and caught by the neck of his dress and when found he was dead. # Herman Schleuter of Stanton coun ty was arrested on complaint of his wife, Emma Schlueter, who charges him with having committed incest with his daughter. The body of an unidentified man without any means of identification ■was found in' a Union Pacific bcx car at Sidney. He had been seen on the streets the day before and was in an intoxicated condition. Because she was accused of steal ing money from the store in which she worked at the suburban town of College View, Bertha Kalpenberger, 17 years old, of Lincoln, went to her home and committed suicide by swallowing carbolic acid. Leo Lung, whose rooms were raided by the chief of police at Grand i sland some weeks ago, and who was found to be smoking opium and alleged to have be^n inducing others to smoke, was found guilty upon trial in police court and fined $50 and costs. It is thought in that part cf Ne braska that H. G. Carr, proprietor of the Doris Lake resort at Sargent, is the largest cat owner in the state. He has around his establishment sev enty-five cats and they know where to find the hotel cook at meal time. The Scottsbluff county fair was held for three days. The attendance for the entire fair was the best in the history of the fair association and the program was the best. The track was not in the best of condition, but five or six races were pulled off each day, most of which were exception ally good. R. C. Harriss, chairman of the cen tral committee, who is in charge of the general arrangements for the state meeting of the Christian Endeavor so ciety, which is to be held in Fairbury on October 29, 30 and 31, reports that the several committees are working diligently to arrange an Interesting three days’ program. The campaign committee for Daw son county’s proposed new court house under the management of the Lexing ton Civic Betterment club, is putting forth considerable effort. A bunch of twenty-five automobiles filled with boosters and the Lexington band have been making the rounds of the differ ent towns in the county. In the district court of Otoe county the case of Frank Williamson, as ad ministrator, against the Chicago, Bur lington & Quincy railway, was settled and the company agreed to pay $800 and costs. The claim was one where in Mr. Williamsons’ father was thrown from a wagon at the Burlington depot when the team became frightened at a locomotive which passed. A sneak thief made a good haul at Grand Island by securing th€' cash box from the Falk clothing store and getting about $100 from it. A railroad man lost a roll of $40 in a billiard parlor and an effort was also made to rob one of the rooms of the Pal mer hotel. William Stradley of Aurorr shot himself with a shotgun, the wound be ing of such a nature that death re sulted instantly. He leaves a widow and five children, the oldest being a boy about 18 years of age. It is said that he carried about $3,000 in life in surance. Commencing October 22 and con tinuing five days, the thirty-sixth an nual convention of the Womens Christian Temperance Union meets in Omaha. The convention is expected to bring together 600 delegates from all sections of the country. Many prominent people identified with tem perance work will be present and have conspicuous part in the celebra tion. Omaha will bestir itself to house and entertain the delegates. Mrs. C. J. Roberts, chairman of the press committee, is urging spread of information and promises interest and edification to all who attend. LAW IS HELD VALID. DECISION IN SIBLEY CASE BY THE SUPREME COURT. The supreme court upheld the con stitutionality of the Sibley law. which reduces rates on express business 25 per cent below the rates in force prior to January 1, 1907, the year the act was passed. The litigation was commenced by Attorney Thompson, who obtained a temporary restraining order to prevent the express compa nies from violating the law. This order is now made permanent by the opinion of the supreme court, written by Judge J. B. Barnes. Chief Justice Reese and Judge W. B. Rose did not sit in the case. By the order of the supreme court the defendant com panies may apply to the state railway commission if they are still dissatis fied with the rates prescribed by the Sibley law. The defendant express companies fought the ease from the start and once transferred it to the federal court, but the judges of the federal court in Nebraska remanded it to the supreme court. Testimony was taken in New York city and at other places before a referee, Judge John J. Sul livan. The syllabus of the opinion is as follows: Holding of the Court. "Statutes fixing maximum rates which corporations, joint stock com panies or persons whose property is devoted to public use, may charge and receive as compensation for their services, are presumed to be constitu tional; and the burden of proof is on him who challenges their validity to show by a preponderance of the evi dence that the legislation complained of clearly contravenes some provision of the constitution. “When an attempt is made to strike down a rate statute it is in cumbent on the attacking party to make full, fair and complete disclos ure of all of the revenue derived from the business and the disbursement of the same for all purposes, including salaries paid to all of its officers, agents and employes, so that it may be determined whether such salaries and expenditures are necessary as well as reasonable in amount. “When the courts are called upon to adjudge an act for the legislature fixing rates for express companies un constitutional on the ground that they are unreasonable and confiscatory, they should be fully advised as to what is done with the receipts and earnings of the company, for if so advised it might clearly appear that a prudent and honest management within the rates prescribed would se cure to the company a reasonable compensation for the use of its prop erty and for conducting its business. “A court of equity ought not to in terfere with and strike down an act af the legislature fixing maximum ex press rates before a fair trial has been made of continuing the business thereunder and in advances of any actual experience of the practical re sult of such rates. “Where it reasonably appears from a consideration of all the evidence that the rates complained of are not confiscatory, but afford the express company at least some measure of profit for carrying on its business, the courts will not interfere with the operation of the statute, but will re quire the party complaining to apply for relief to the rate-making power, or the tribunal provided by the statute with power to increase such rates if they are alleged to be un reasonable. , “A rate statute will not be declared unconstitutional on the ground that it provides drastic penalties for its violation, unless it appears that the penalty clause was the inducement for its passage, and with that clause eliminated the remainder of the act is incapable of enforcement. The Rhodes Scholarship. Examination for the Rhodes scholar ship has been set for October 19 and 20 by the board of trustees of the Rhodes fund. Samuel Rinaker of Beatrice completes his course at Ox ford this year, and the examination will be held for the place made'vacant by his completion of the course. Un der the new ruling the examinations will be only in mathematics and Latin, the Greek being waived because of the increasing tendency of the American student to discard the study of the Hellenic language. Many more stud ents are thus able to take the exami nations than under the old rulings and warm competition is looked for. More Telephone Stock. The state railway commission has given permission for the Polk County Telephone company to increase its capital stock from $66,875 to 7$4,875 for the purpose of paying an indebted ness incurred in the building of a line and for extensions of lines. Miss Caton Succeeds Mrs. Marks. Miss Etta Caton of Lincoln has been appointed by the managing board as agent for the Home of the Friendless and succeeds Mrs. Marks, who was appointed by the governor and served to September 15. The salary of the new agent will be $1,500 per year. Delinquent Corporations. The list of delinquent corporations which have failed to comply with the occupation tax act has been completed and the list of 5,093 delinquent con cerns will be published in a few days. A special appropriation of $1,000 was made for the purpose of advertising the delinquent corporations. The to tal expense of printing the names will be about $900, Governor Shallenberger having decided that a part of the ap propriation should be turned back into the general fund when the appropria tion lapses. Free High School Law Upheld. In the case of Thomas M. Wilkin son against Joshua S. Lord, an ap peal from Richardson county, the su preme court upholds the constitution ality of the free high school law of 1907. Several acts of the same char acter of previous legislatures failed to stand the test, but this act is held to be valid. Judge James R. Dean, who was for many years a member of a school board, wrote the opinion of the court. The law makes the home district of the student liable for the payment of 75 cents a week. 8&*oj3*_ ^ VQ/ Wilbur D. Nesbit. « /V The grocer has closed up his store for the day— Sing hey for the hardw o r k i n g grocer, sing hey! The plumber has fastened his shop, as you know— Sing ho for the hardworki n g plumber, sing ho! But I am at work with a zest and a will For grocer and plumber have each sent a bill. The iceman is rest * ing his pick and his saw— Hurrah for the ice m a n, hurrah, boys, hurrah! The butcher is marching; I saw him go by— Sing hi for the heavy-set butch er, sing hi! But I am at work while the drums loudly beat, For here are the bills for the ice ana the meat. The milkman is clinking no bottles to day. The coalman is marching and marching away, The shirt man is holding a banner aloft. The hatter is out with his coat and vest doffed— But I am not marching, nor making a speech; Confronting me now is a statement from each. The garden truck man Is right close to the band— Sing hey for the bulwarks of our native land! The dairyman trudges on soldierly legs— Hurrah for his dignified butter and eggs! But I am as usual bent to the grind— The dairyman says I am too far behind. O, what was the thought that I meant to enshrine In these little rhythmical liltir.gs of mine? I meant to write something of labor and brawn But some way or other ihe muses have gone— Perhaps they are marching far over the hills While I sit and contemplate all of the bills! 0ldMan Giddles, v Observes. Every man has a right to his own opinion, but that is no reason why he should not keep it to himself once in awhile. A boy wearing his first long pants contrives to have a great many er rands downtown. The ordinary man would state, if pressed, that he thinks his singing voice is superb. Too many of us confuse our own stubbornness with strength of charac ter and make nuisances of ourselves. We must all admire the intellectual swiftness of the chronic liar who is able to lie out of his lies. The ordinary man thinks the heathen have an awful good time on the money he donates for them. He Guessed Wrong. “Harold,” says the young wife, “if you were to become a Mormon, and were allowed to have six wives, who would yOu pick out for the other five?” “Why,” Harold muses, "I should se lect five duplicates of you, my dear.” Instead of appreciating his gal lantry, as he had expected, she bursts into tears with: “And when we were engaged you vowed I was the only girl on earth, that there never was nor could be anyone like me!” Harold exerts himself to soothe her, and finally says: “You know I wouldn’t be a Mor mon, anyway, darling.” With a fresh outburst of tears the grief-stricken wife exclaims: “Ah! You mean that if there were any others like me you wouldn’t marry them! You brute! I’m going home to mamma.” Quixotish. “So Mukraiker is beginning a cru sade against sausage?” we ask of our well-posted friend. “He doesn’t eat sausage. Why should he attack it?” “He says he can’t help sympathiz ing with the under dog.” - % She Was Willing. “Yes,” says the husband, “I have consented to accept the nomination.” “I am so glad the party is beginning to recognize your merit,” beams the wife. “Now, my dear,” the husband con tinues, "you know that political affairs are not love feasts, by any means. You must expect to see me vilified and attacked in a scandalous manner No doubt the opposition will try to dig up sensational rumors about me, and all that sort of thing, but you must not—” “Well,” she interrupts, “I am really glad of it. You have always been strangely silent about whether or not you ever were engaged to anyone be fore you met me.” Possibly. “You don’t hear anything more about that project to make cream of petroleum,” says the man with the zig zag eyebrows. “No, and for a good reason,” replies the man with the overdone nose. “Oil and water won’t mix.” The Marriage Vow NO BAEES OR LOTS OF THEM? BY MRS. VIRGINIA VAN DE WATER A question arose as to what would be the special luxury in which each person present would indulge had she unlimited means. The answers were various, some saying travel, others en tertaining, others numerous pictures, books and brie a brae. One woman who had said little during the con troversy was at last addressed, and replied by saying that she had not spoken before, as she knew none of those present would agree with her. “For,” she said, flushing shyly, "njy desire would be for a large family of children whom I could have finely ed ucated and to whom I could give all the advantages I would want my boys and girls to have.” Her remark was greeted with a murmur of surprise and dissent. “Do you really mean that?” asked one woman, incredulously. “Indeed I do,” was the calm reply. “To my way of thinking there is no greater happiness than for a woman to be surrounded by a number of chil dren, with the means to do them jus tice.” Ah, there’s the rub. purely ’tis a pity that the dollar mark must shine through everything as it does, an ugly birth scar on the face of na ture. In many cases, however, it is not the thought of the present expense of children, or the thought of what they will cost during the first few years of their life, that causes people to wish to have small families. It is rather the dread lest, when the young people are old enough to enter college, there will not be the finances necessary to the completion of their education. It wrould be well for those who argue thus to remember that in this country of ours few people have, during the first years of marriage, the money that is theirs 20 years later. I would not have anyone imagine that I advocate the bringing into the world of more little ones than one can, at the time, feed and clothe. But I do hold that, when parents are abundantly able to provide for their children during childhood, they make a mistake in insisting that at birth there must be on hand the money with which to send their new-born baby through college and set him up in the business or profession he may choose. Let us look the matter plainly in the face and announce that parents have no more right to indulge in numbers of children—crowding into the nursery more money than the par ents have, making the payment of just debts impossible, and sapping the courage of the father, and the strength of the mother—than they have to purchase houses and lands for which they cannot pay. But, when parents can buy luxuries that are not necessities, and can indulge their personal whims and wishes, surely children have a right to be. To bear and rear children is one of the chief aims of woman’s existence, and until she has borne a child she has not lived up to the purpose of her being, and hers is not a full, round life. And the American husband, noted over the world for his consideration for his wife’s wishes, declares that she shall have her own way in this mat ter. Viewed from a practical standpoint, few other investments pay as do chil dren. It is also true that four children are little more actual trouble than are two, and that the additional trouble is compensated for in the pleasure they bring by their companionship in their childhood, and their protection as well as companionship in the years to come—when the parents begin to feel that they need strong young arms about them. If you would know what a childless home means—imagine the Christmas season without the little ones. And look for just one sad mo ment at the home from which an only child has been taken, and then ask if one child is more a blessing than many. That one gone, what is left but years in which the arms must be empty and the hearts must ache? Yes, there is something worse—in finitely worse to those who know what is really worth while, than a family of many little ones—and that is a family without any children. It is not less pitiable because the parents are ignorant of what they miss. AVhen old age and loneliness approach, they will know. If God has denied them offspring, may he comfort them; if they blindly deny themselves God’s greatest blessings—may he still pity them, for they know not what they do! (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) ONE LOAF OF BREAD BY G. F. WRIGHT, LL.D., F. G. S. A. Until recently the vegetable product which supported the largest amount of human life was rice, but now it is probable that more people depend upon wheat for their main staple of nutriment than upon any other single grain. The wheat crop of the world for 1902, the largest then recorded, was 3,124,422,000 bushels, of which 760,063,000 were produced in the Unit ed States. We may therefore presume that the loaf of bread which lies upon the table of the average reader is a loaf of wheat bread, and so we will consider it. Wheat is no new discovery. It is found in the early tombs of Egypt and among the remains of the lake dwel lers in Switzerland, where the charred kernels had lain buried for several thousand years before the Christian era. From the fact that the word for wheat is common to most of the Aryan languages, it is rightly inferred that it was cultivated in central Asia in prehistoric times, and was distrib uted throughout the eastern conti nent with the emigration which early radiated from the home of the Aryan races in western Turkestan. But It did not reach America until after the discovery by Columbus. The varieties of wheat are very nu merous, thus adapting it to a wider range of conditions than any other cereal. It ripens equally well in Si beria and Alaska and India and South America. Some varieties are sown in autumn and others in the spring, but if winter wheat is sown in the spring or spring wheat sown in au tumn, while very few plants will come to maturity, a few will do so. There fore, by saving these few heads that ripen one can transform at his pleas ure a winter wheat into a spring wheat, and vice versa. Great results have likewise been produced by cross ing varieties with each other in which case there is often a great im provement in both the quality and the quantity of the product. The great value of wheat as a food consists in its possession of a large amount of albuminoid matter, which forms the most important element in the blood, and enters into the produc tion of the muscles and ligaments of animal bodies. Under high cultivation wheat has been known to yield 66 bushels per acre, each bushel weighing 60 pounds, while the average yield may easily be made 40 bushels to the acre. The low average of the yield so general in the United States is due to imperfect cul tivation and to an unskilful use of fertilizers. The power of increase in a grain of wheat is astonishing, since a large number of other stalks spring out from the single shoot that first comes out of the ground. There is no doubt that wheat bread with good butter on it more fully sup plies the wants of the human system than any other single article of food does. The need of butter or some other fat is occasioned by the lack of that; element so necessary to the human system in most of the cereals, though corn and oats contain it to a considerable extent. A good five-cent loaf of bread contains as much nutri ment as would be found in any of the various breakfast foods now so popu lar, costing three times as much. Here is a good recipe for white bread: Sift together 5% cups flour, one tablespoon sugar, one teaspoon salt. Two cups milk scalded and cooled. Add one-half cup yeast to the milk. Stir the liquid, temperature 75 de^ grees, into the dry with a knife. Knead until there are air bubbles at the edge of the dough. Cover in a tem perature of 75 degrees and let stand 3% hours. It should be twice as large as at first. Pass a knife around the dish and cut down to get out the air bubbles. Shape and allow to rise again to twice the size. Biscuit should be baked In an oven that will brown a spoonful of flour in two minutes, bread in five minutes. Biscuit bakes in 15 to 20 minutes. Bread bakes in 35 to 40 minutes.

They are blessed by inheritance with a gentle and cheerful nature; they are dressed loosely yet warmly; they are out of doors as much as possible, and inside their homes there is so little furniture they never stumble over it, and are never warned against crawl ing up on satin-brocaded chairs or not handling the bric-a-brac. The houses are always open to sun and air, even in cold weather. They are built dove tailed together, no nails being used, and are mounted on wooden pillars so that when an earthquake occurs they will not tumble down, but merely shake and settle again. Every Japanese house of preten sions bas in its principal room a raised platform or dais upon which the mikado, should he by chance ever visit the house, would sit. It is a law that no subject may look down upon the mikado. A pretty Japanese cus tom is that of making excursions to the country when the trees are in bloom to see them. The Japanese are great flower lovers, and are most fond of the blossoms which grow on trees Their love lor cherry blossoms is well known. In February they visit the plum trees; the cherry in April; the lotus in July; azaleas during the’long summer months, and in the autumn is the great chrysanthemum festival. Japanese children have pets as well as their occidental brothers and sis ters. Tiny rabbits and an odd kind of cat with white fur, black and yel low spots and no tail, divide their af fections. In many houses are also found aquariums stocked with beauti ful and rarely colored fish. The katy did is likewise a great pet, and speci mens are kept in little bamboo cages Butterflies are another favorite. in Japan all animals, birds t.nd insects seem to know they are safe, for even the wild ones will alight on one’s hand occasionally. A NURSE’S EXPERIENCE. Backache, Pains in the Kidneys, Bloat ing, Etc., Overcome. A nurse is expected to know what to do for common ailments, and worn ASI-J' I <m who suffer back ache, constant lan guor, and other com mon symptoms of kidney complaint, should be grateful to Mrs. Minnie Turner, of E. B. St., Ana darko, Okla., for pointing out the way to find quick relief. Mrs. Turner used Doan’s Kidney Pills for a run-down con dition, backache , pains in the sides and kidneys, bloated limbs, etc. ‘ The way they have built me up is simply mar velous,” says Mrs. Turner, who is a nurse. “My health improved rapidly. Five boxes did so much for me I am telling everybody about it.” Remember the name—Doan's. Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster Yliiburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

A New York friend of Cuticura writes: “My three year old son and heir, j after being put to bed on a trip across the Atlantic, investigated the state room and located a box of graham crackers and a box of Cuticura Oint ment. When a search was made for the box, it was found empty and the kid admitted that he had eaten the contents of the entire box spread on the crackers. It cured him of a bad cold and I don’t know what else.” No more conclusive evidence could be offered that every ingredient of Cu ticura Ointment is absolutely pure, sweet and harmless. If it may be safely eaten by a young child, none but the most beneficial resuits can be ex pected to attend its application to even the tenderest skin or youngest infant. Potter Drug & Cbem.
