Ed. and Pub Need New Court House In another column of this issue will be seen the advertisement for aids for the erection of a two-story tddition to our “magnificent" court Pouse. The Northwestern wishes to at once raise a howl against any ex pense of a "lean-to” attached to the linky structure of an excuse, grac iously termed a court house. To add to the unsightly disgrace, would he to prolong indefinitely the life of the present building, which is an unsafe and dangerous place for the records pf the county, as it is generally con reded the vaults are not fireproof and the burning of the old rookery would mean the destruction of all records and place the burden of endless liti gation on tlie real estate of the coun ty. The people of Sherman county ran not afford to allow of this and a protest from every taxpayer in the rounty should be registered against the prooosed addition to tlie present court iiouse. Custer county last week by a hand* some majority voted bonds for a new court bouse. The Methodist church at North Loup was destroyed by tire last week Thursday night. A friend of ours came in the other day with what he thought was a good conundrum. “Why is the newspaper like a woman?" The various answers were given—Because it has to have some one to run it. Because it has to be known to l>e appreciated. Be cause it changes its dress. The cor rect answer is “Because every man should have one of his own. and not be running after his neighbor's."—Ex Along R. R. No. 2. Miss Lula Brodock had a siege of earache last week. E. J.
