Loop City Northwestern J. W. BURLEIGH, Publisher. LOUP CITY I ^ - NEBRASKA Keep off treacherous thin ice! is the real big stick a sugar stick? It is time to call in the openwork shirt waits. It is also chilly for those who lack shelter, food and fire. Would the use of stovaine make one Indifferent to the cold weather? Tn making its students study the University of Chicago is setting a no ble precedent. In running a school or in curing dis ease the fresh air is immeasurably better than hot air. Washington should have pure milk ' *—not that it makes much difference to the congressmen. The trustworthy goosebone indi cates an erratic winter. But are not all our winters erratic? Brazil and Sweden have signed an arbitration treaty. Now all they need is something to arbitrate. It is a pity that the white plague continues to stalk abroad when there is so much fresh air at large. The world certainly is growing bet ter. The number of people who write it “Xmas” is gradually decreasing. Having led the world in a tour around the globe, our navy is now proposing to lead in development at home. As the new Chinese minister to this country cannot speak a word of Eng lish how in the world is he going to ask questions? The idea of putting in meters to measure telephone talk is good, but will it be possible to devise meters that will stand the ^rain? Twice nothing is nothing, but that rule does not apply when it comes to figuring on the temperature that is twice as cold as zero. Cornell university says there are to be no more babies after 2059 A. D., and dealers in baby goods will have to im.ke hay while the stork flies. Philadelphia scientists say that the missing link has been discovered in the cultured chimpanzee. As an alter native we suggest the giver of monkey dinners. Kermit Roosevelt recently killed two bongoes. We don’t know just what a bongo is, but the probabilities are that it is just as fierce a man-eater as the yamyam. An Ohio authority says that drunk enness is an evidence of insanity. It is quite generally agreed now that it is a disease, but we still continue to treat it legally as a crime. The Yale alumnus, who offers a re ward of $100,000 to the person who discovers an adequate remedy for tu berculosis, evidently does not accept the theory that fresh air is a sure cure. There is no doubt that when King Gustave lays down the shipwright’s knife or the shoemaker’s awl and re sumes the regal scepter, he will do so , with an intimate knowledge of indus trial conditions which he could not have obtained in any other way. And now they’re claiming In the east that it is impossible to raise tur keys on account of a disease called blackhead, and that the disease is spread by the English sparrow. Funny, if the sparrow spreads it, that it is not common in the west—the spar row is. A Yale graduate has offered a prize of $100,000 for a cure of consumption. The reward may stimulate effort, but in justice to those who make it their life profession to investigate disease It to spur to scientific discoveries. The king of Sweden is getting prac tical lessons in hard work by going about in disguise doing odd stunts in the way of coal heaving and other la bor. Like the good Haroun-al-Raschid, the king wants to know, so he goes about to get information at first hand. And there is no doubt that he will accumulate a stock of knowledge ra ther unusual in the experience of a reigning sovereign. Mexico stands squarely by the Unit ed States in that Zelaya business, says Troy Times. Our sister republic is entirely aware of the trouble-making character of the man who is trying to run Nicaragua on the dictator plan and has a full share of annoy ance from the conditions in that neigh boring country. Mexico has learned what peace, order and material devel opment mean and has no sympathy with the Zelayan style of cantanker ousness. The enthusiast who proposes an au tomobile boulevard all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts, with road houses every five miles, careless ly omitted to specify a hospital in serted exactly between road houses. > A punishment to fit the crime was that inflicted on a grocer li a Penn sylvania town who was compelled to eat eggs alleged by a customer to be bad. It is safe to say that in future eggs in that town will be sold only in a state of pristine and unimpeachable purity. One of the rules for avoiding colds given by a competent medical man is to take plenty of rest, but not to over do it. Is a man or his wife to judge of the amount of rest the man needs? A medical sharp estimates that if the transmission of disease by flies could be stopped the world would gain 170,000,000 years of human life and effect a saving of $?0,000,000,000. What ’enterprising promoter will first launch an Amalgamated Jly Extermination Company, limited, and get a grip on these wasted billions? NEBflfflJ BRIEF NEWS NOTES OF INTERE8T FROM VARIOUS SECTIONS. ALL SUBJECTS TOUCHED UPON Religious, Social, Agricultural, Polit ical and Other Matters Given Due Consideration. Two hundred men and boys engaged in a wolf hunt east of Tecumseh. Four wolves were rounded up and killed. The hunters covered twenty-five sec tions of land. The Cass county mortgage record for December follows: Amount of farm mortgages filed, $30,104; re leased, $25,650. City mortgages filed, $6,079; released, $3,295. Mrs. Kittie M. Bain of Lincoln killed herself. She used a 32-caliber revolver to take her life, shooting herself through the breast. No cause is as signed. i ne oar or mcnarason county nas adopted resolutions of respect for the memory of the late Judge Martin, who died recently. At a later date, when Judge Martin's family has returned, a memorial meeting will be held. The erection of poles has begun for the installation of a new telephone line between Nelson and Superior by the Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph company. This line will be open for telephone service in a few days. Leonard Finlay and Marie Finlay of Wymore were bitten by a mad cat several days ago and their condition has become so serious that it has been decided to send the children to the Pasteur institute at Chicago. A special term of district court will be held in Franklin county, convening January 10. At that time George Ant ser, charged with the killing of Wil liam Dillon near Stamford, Harlan county, will be tried. Herman Schloesser, an old bachelor who lived alone near Beaver Crossing, Seward county, was taken ill while alone and when found was lying part ly on the floor and partly on a sofa, nearly frozen. The exposure caused his death. He was 49 years of age. In the vicinity of Arlington many farmers are taking advantage of the opportunity to procure an excellent j quality of ice and are hauling daily from the lakes. The ice now being harvested is fifteen inches thick, solid through and as clear as crystal. Ernest Runs With, an Indian, was found dead east of Valentine, about a quarter of a mile, by some section men. It is thought he had been struck by a train, as both his legs were broken and numerous other bruises were found on the body. The charities and correction confer eice will be held in Lincoln January 16 to 18. On January 16 Secretary Johnson of the national association will preach at one of the churches and in the afternoon he will deliver an address. At Bladen, after eating sixteen bananas, John Claussen, 19 years of age, became ill and died. With a number of companions he entered a restaurant. For a cash payment of 5 cents the proprietor offered the boys all the bananas they could eat. It is claimed that the fruit had been frozen. County Supervisor Richard Stafford met with a serious accident at his home at Bancroft. He was taken with a severe spell of coughing and in the paroxysm he lost his balance and fell on an icy cement sidewalk with great force, sustaining a fracture ; of the skull. Word was received in Fremont that John W. Taylor of that city was found dead in a room at Sioux City, death having evidently been caused by as phyxiation. It is supposed that he committed suicide while in a fit of de spondency, as he had made two at tempts to end his life while at home i in Fremont. me report 01 william waxham, government weather observer at Be- i atrice, shows that the month of De- ; cernber was one of the coldest and wettest in years. For eleven days the mercury registered below zero. Nearly four inches of water and snow fell. During 1909 the rainfall was 45.57 inches, as compared with 38.35 in 1908. Through a clerical error in bulletin No. 17, issued by the bureau of labor, Sheridan county is credited with the production of 71,964 bushels of pota toes instead of 719,640 bushels. The correction of this error puts Sheridan county in the first place in potato production for the state, with 300,000 bushels more than Box Butte count.'* which is given first place in the bul leting. Judge Dtingan is considering the ad visability of calling a grand jury for Adams county in connection with the March term of the district court. A law passed by the last legislature, re storing the grand jury system for the investigation of criminal matters, be came effective Jan. 1 and under the terms of this act there must be a grand jury in each county once each year, unless otherwise specifically or dered by the district judge. A team of horses belonging to E. P. Boarlier, a farmer living north of Syracuse, was stolen on the streets of that place. No trace of the thieves have been found. Mrs. Orpha Inman of North Platte began an action in the district court against J. O. Den, H. J. Rebhausen, A. E. Timmerman, C. T. Whelan and Fred Waltmath and their bondsmen, in which she seeks to recover dam ages in the sum of $20,000. The peti tion recites that the husband of the plaintiff was killed while intoxicated by liquor secured at the defendant's saloon. The report of the Fremont clearing house for the year 1909 shows a total of $17,802,578.71, as against $16,792, 953.61 for 1908. The largest clear ances for any month were of March, when the total was $2,043,696.37. Judge Hostetler has announced terms of court in the Twelfth judicial district as follows: Buffalo county, jury May £3 and December 5; equity, February 14. Custer county, jury, March 7 and October 3; equity, Janu ary 31. Dawson county, jury. May- 2 and November 14; equity, April 4. Sherman county, jury. April 1'2; equity, September 6 and November 1. FEES DURING MONTH. Amount Received by the Secretary' for December. Secretary of State Junkin received a total of $30,661.86 in fees during the month of December. The amount usually received is $3,u00. Of the amount received during December, $25-000 was fees paid under protest by corporations who thought they stand a show of beating the state cor poration license fee provided for by the last legislature in tne King bill. Nearly $70,000 was collected in fees under that bill since the act went into effect, including $2o,000 paid under protest. The supreme court has up held the law and corporations that lid not pay November 30 will lose their charters. About 4,000 different corporation on the books of the secre tary of state are shut out and a list if their names will be forwarded by the secretary of state to county clerks. A few corporations appear not to have heard of the law, though the laily newspapers have frequent ac counts of it from time to time since last April. This is taken as proof :hat newspapers have little or no in fluence and that they are seldom read. The following fees were collected by che secretary of state during Decem ber. For filing articles of incorporation, $2,127.46; notary commissions, $89; motor vehicles, $170; brands, $24; cer tificates and transcripts, $46; corpora ion permits, $24,745.40; penalties, $3,460, Total, $30,661.86. State Treasurer's Report. State Treasurer Brian lias complet ed liis report for the month of De 'ember. It shows that he is account able for $502,250.42, and that he has ill but $6,963.33 of that amount in state depository banks. The state :rust fur.c^s invested are as follows: Perm, school $7,676,654.72 °erm. uni_ 195,885.12 Ag. col. endow 509,724.45 \’or. endow.. 77,405.86 $8,459,640.15 3onus .$8,243,651.25 Gr'n f’d warnts 27,036.80 Uni fund_ 188,952.10 $8,459,640.15 Feed for State Wards. According to the reports of the vari ous state institutions tiled with the governor and compared with the con tracts on file with the Board of Pur chase and Supplies, there is a total of 221,935 pounds of sugar, 1,113,770 pounds of flour and 42,850 pounds of coffee consumed by the 3,502 inmates. The institutions represented in the computation are those institutions only which are under the control of the State Board of Public Lands and Buildings. The sugar average for each person is 63.38 pounds. New Order of Business. Hereafter insurance agents will have to make application to the state auditor for licenses to do business. This is a change from the old way of doing business when the insurance companies simply sent in the names of the agents and the licenses were granted on their application. The agents will be compelled to answer certain questions, among them being one telling of the amount of insur ance he has writen during the last year and also whether he intends to devote his time exclusively to the in surance business. Must Be "Shown.” The Mineapolis & Omaha Railway company will be required to show the railway commissioners by what au thority it has assumed to raise rates on carload lots of lime to points north of Omaha. Failing to furnish a satisfactory explanation prosecution may begin. Wants Better Rates. The Union Stock Yards company of South Omaha has applied to the State Railway commission for an order to increase its rates charged for services rendered the ra.^roads doing business within its yards. Wants Better Service. The people of Funk are after the Burlington railroad to get a train or two more to stop there occasionally. They filed a complaint with the Rail way commission setting out that though four trains go through the town daily in two directions only one train in each direction stops. Inspection of Companies. Captain John W. Heavey, Eleventh United States infantry, Fort D. A. Russell, will begin the inspection of the companies of the National Guard of Nebraska, January 12, at Crete. Captain Heavey will be in Omaha February 7, 8 and 9. The Missouri Pacific Railroad com pany has filed with the secretary oi state copies of the proceedings of the meetings of the auxiliary lines, which were recently merged into one com pany. This action was made neces sary by the demand of the New York bankers, who are to finance the new organization or float the loan. Rowe Beats the Ice Trust. Superintendent Rowe of the insti tue for the feeble minded has stored in his ice houses at the institution 400 tons of ice at a cost of about 10 cents a ton or $40. The ice is twelve inches thick, and before the winter is over Dr. Rowe expects to put up at least 200 tons more, and bis total cost he figures will not be more than $60. All of the ice was secured from a creek which belonds to the institution. Dur ing the last year Dr. Rowe has dis tributed 300 wagon loads of fertilizer on the Institution land. Saloons or No Saloons. Whether the question of saloons or no saloons will be submitted to the voters at the coming spring election is creating considerable talk just now in Lincoln. The town has been dry insofar as licensed saloons are con cerned since last May, but the police records show that about the usual humer, if not more, arrests have been made of persons for being drunk as when there were saloons here, and numerous bootlegging joints hav< been raided. The clubs still servt liquor to their members. I BACKACHE-A SIGNAL OF DISTRESS I A WARNING THAT MUST NOT BE IGNORED Pain in the back is the kidneys' signal of distress. If this timely warning is ignored, kidney disease silently fastens its deadly grip—for kidney sickness first shows itself in pains and disorders in other parts, and the real cause is too often hidden until fatal Bright’s disease or diabetes has set in. Suspect the kidneys if you are rheumatic and nervous or have lame back, painful, too frequent or scanty urination, weak heart, dizzy spells, headaches, bloating or neuralgia. What you want is a special kidney medicine — not an j experiment, but one that has stood the test for years, j Doan’s Kidney Pills r lieve weak, congested kidneys — cure backache—regulate the urine. Every Picture b Tells A Stay! A KIDNEY REMEDY OF 75 YEARS’ EXPERIENCE DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS began c ring lame backs and sick kidneys 75 years ago. The demand lead a nearby druggist, James Doan, to prepare it for sale. From him the magic formula passed to the pres f ent proprietors. Now, as in those early days, Doan's Kidney Pills are made from only the purest drugs and are absolutely non-poisonous. They are used and praised all over the civilized world. ■' Every Picti Tells A Stt DOAN’S KIDNEY PILLS MAKE LASTING CURES J. R. Black, 1005 E. Sixth street, Topeka. Kansas, says: "In the spring o{ 1899 Doan’s Kidney Pills brought me such great relief that 1 did not hesitate to make the fact known and give this remedy my most earnest endorsement. In my statement I said that for three years I had suffered from kidney complaint. 1 had a dull grumbling ache across the small of my back that greatly inconvenienced me when reaching and straining in doing my work. An annoying kiduey weakness was also in evidence and it was out of the question for me to sleep well. In the morning I was all tired out and it can be seen that I was in bad shape. The use of Doan's Kidney Pills quickly and surely drove away these symptoms of kidney complaint and I have since been iu good health. The foregoing statement was given in March 1905, and when Mr. Black was interviewed on Nov. 12. 1908. he said: "I have never had a return attack of kidney complaint and I know that myr cure is a permanent one. My faith in Doan's Kidney Pills is stronger than ever. Mrs James Crooks, First St., N. W.. American Fork, Utah, says, "I had kidney complaint for ten years or more. Sometimes a twinge darted through the small of my back and I often became so helpless that I was compelled to go to bed with my clothes on. The attacks often lasted for days at a time and I could not even stoop to put on my shoes. My condition was certainly aiarmiDg. The secre tions from my kidneys were irregular in passage and contained a heavy sediment after standing. I well know what the misery kidney complaint causes and I can therefore appreciate the merits of a remedy that cures this disease. Doan's Kidney Pills lived up to the claims made for them in my case and effected a cure. My kidneys were restored to a normal condition and my health greatly improved.” (Statement given Aug.22.1g07.) On Aug. 24, igog. Mrs. Crooks was interviewed by one of our representatives and she said: “It gives me pleasure to reendorse Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured my backache and my health is now good. Other members of my family have taken this remedy with decided benefit.'’ „ A TRIAL FREE STStSlS Cut out this coupon, mail it to Foster-Milburn Co.. Buffalo. N. Y.

Proprietors, A/HAT BECAME OF THE BUTTON Naive Confession of Little Girl Proved Her to Be True Daughter of Eve. Loie Fuller, the noted dancer, told at a luncheon a story about her class of dancing children. “I gave the children a Christmas party last year,” she said, “and when the puddfng came on I said to them: “.‘I have put in this pudding a coin, a little china doll and a button. Who ever gets the coin wi.ll be rich. Whoever gets the doll will be married before the year is out. But whoever gets the button will be an old maid.’ “Well, the pudding disappeared rap idly, and the little girls soon found the coin and the china doll. But the button did not turn up. No one got the button. This amazed me. ‘ That night I said to my favorite little girl, as we sat alone by the fire in my room: “ ‘I can't understand what became of that button. I put it in the pudding myself.’ “ ‘I’ll tell you,’ the little girl con fessed, turning rosy with confusion. ‘I dot the button. But I didn’t want everybody to laugh at me—tho I thwallowed it.’ ” Her Bright New Cook. Mrs. Blank prided herself on her ability to train her servants, and she had just been bragging about the treasure she had in her new colored cook when the following dialogue oc curred : "Now, Amaranth, I’ll come out and fry the chicken, but I want you to have it all ready for me. Dress it carefully and be sure to singe off every hair.” “Yas’m.” “Then cut it up just as I showed you the other day. Do you remem ber?” “Yas’m.” “Wash' and drain it well. You un derstand?” “Yas’m.” Then, as an afterthought, "Shall I kill it?”—The Circle. important to motnera.

Division Superintendent—How many | fare passengers did you have on your last trip? New Conductor—Fair passengers? Say, do you think all I had to do was to notice people’s complexions? Why He Got Married. A $900-per-annum clerk in one of Uncle Sam’s departments at Washing ton was recently approached by a co worker, who asked if it were true, as rumor had it, that the $900 person was about to marry. “It is,” was the laconic response. “Surely, old man,” said the other, with that freedom permitted an inti mate friend, “you don't think that your present income would justify you in taking a wife?" “To be perfectly frank,” said the other, “I do not.” “Then what on earth can be your reason for taking this serious step?” “I have no reason,” was the calm re . sponse. “I am in love.”—Lippincott’s Magazine. Harvard Scored. It was the morning of the Yale-Har vard game at Cambridge, and two of the New Haven collegians were wan dering through the Harvard yard, looking at the university buildings, Down a walk toward them came a youth of serious aspect, but palpably an undergraduate. “I beg your pardon,” said the Yale man, who is a bit of a wag, to the stranger, ‘‘can you tell me where I can find Harvard university?” “I’m very sorry,” said the serious one, with never a smile. “They've locked it up. You see, there are so many Yale men in town.” Point of View. Senator Beveridge, apropos of the old-fashioned snowy Christmas, said the other day: “Snow, of course, has its disadvan tages from some points of view. " ‘Snow is beautiful in its season,’ Solomon said that. But I know an old Indianapolis man who, on hearing this remark of Solomon, grumbled: “ ‘Oh, yes, no doubt it was beautiful to you, sittin’ with all the wives and lasses of Jerusalem beside you; but if you’d been a poor stone cutter you’d never have said any such thing.’ ’’ Anticipation Safer Than Realization. "It is not always necessary to make a direct accusation,” said the lawyer who was asking damages because in sinuations had been made against his client’s good nafne. “You may have heard of the woman who called to the hired girl, ‘Mary, Mary, come here and take the parrot down stairs—the master has dropped his collar but ton!’”—Everybody’s Magazine.
