Blood Thirsty Editor From Broken Bow come* the news that Editor Norm Paries of the Re publican last week displayed his ar ■rnai sad threatened to make s sieve of uoe Wynn Jut**, mho is superinten dent of construction of the new court bouse betas built si the Bow. The story goes that Editor Pa.ks publish ed an article or set of sr »c1ob concern ing Jones and in regard u> the pur den of furniture for aid court boas, to which said Jones took ex ception. and so notified the editor at nfe distawnr over the telephone. Letts the two met In front of the Center National Bank, and the Re publican editor warned Jones not tc approach him or be, P-.rks, would start a new cemetery, with Jones n the first occupant, or words to that efact. Jones then became a stand l«( mooument. while be informed the editor he wae unarmed and gent ly suggested that the gun argument ha dropped, but the arsenal mao knew a good thing when he had paaaaaioa of it and declined to do so.

R. Has a Ureat Personal Following Bnt so Had Bryan, Louis Title Editor Says. Louisville. Kjr., Feb. 19.—Under the caption. “Can Rosevelt Come Back?” Henry Watterscn says in the Louis ville Courier-Journal today. “The Courier-Journal has had its hands much too full trying to take care of the Democratic presidential fencing to bother about the Republi cans Nevertheless, in tliat quarter of the political firmament it is not without its weather eye. It enter tains the impression not only Mr. Taft will be nominated by the nation al convention of his partv, but that Mr. Roosevelt, despite his immediate activities, will find some way to cir cumvent the more aggressive and ex treme /.eal of the fool friends who are urging him on to his ruin. He is a man of real ability. He carries a storage battery of experience. He has shown himself posessed of an acute sense of political and moral forces lie must know that if he were nominated he could not be elect ed. His candidacy would not merely play to a divided party, but would face a deadly issue. Drawn now into the open, the idea of a stampede is jut the question. Grant lost with Conklin to lead the braves. He could never get beyond the fatal 30fi. What better hope has Roosevelt under the leadership of Garfield, Pinchot and Perkins? There is without doubt a deal of unrest stalking abroad in the land. Equally it is true that personal ties and party dihcipline everywhere sang loose. Perhaps a million voters are ready to whip over from one side to the other. But the country is neither ripe nor ready for a revolution and nothing short of a revolution could bring Theodore Roosevelt back to power. Concede that he has a great person al following. So had and has Mr. Bryan: such assets are deceptive. The history of American politics going tack to Henry Clay and coming down to James G. Blaine is conclusive upon the point that personality spead out over the continent spreads exceeding ly thin, the Whigs own Harry F. West beaten by the colorless Polk, the Plumed Knight by phlegmatic Cleveland. Magnetism, like brag is a dog but standpat is a better. Time passes. ’’Tis a way time has. The lion hunt in A frica. The tour de-force through Europe. Nothing like it since the little corporal made things hum between the headwaters of Bitter Creek in France and Italy to the gates of Berlin and Vienna. Then the return, not from Elba, but from Australitz. Bronze cannon roared, Gifford Pinchot with redoubt ed might felt his heart swell. Collier's Weekly, with banners waving and brass bands playing, led the procession: and equally undisguis ed and undismayed Caesar rode up Broadway as no American had ever ridden before—neither Dewey nor Bryan—to the arena made and pre pared in Madison Square for profes fional heroes, pugilistic and political. It was grand wasn't it, Hapgood? Wish to Represent County at Lincoln Besides our republican candidate for representative, George W. Wolfe, two democrats have filed for the same office, namly. R. L. Arthur of this city and Henry Beck of Litch field. Mr. Arthur is a democrat to the core and would prove a live wire in the party councils. Henry Beck is our big two-fisted democratic friend of the west side, who feels called to crush the life out of the much cussed and discussed stallion law, which meets with his unqualified disapprov al and will throw his 250 pounds and energy into action along party lines. That's all right, boys; scrap ’er out, and our republican candidate, George Wolfe,will easily outdistance the dem ocratic winner, go to Lincoln in an easy lope and save either of them from the legislative siege. Fln« Snow Storm, But, Later, Ouch! Sunday night last brought to this section another of those heavy snow storms with which this country has been blessed the past winter. Don’t find fault with the receipt of too much snow, as it is one of - the most needed blessings in preparing Mother Earth to give forth bountiful crops the coming season. Later, each day we have bad addi tional volumes of “The Beautiful” piling itoq a little too to, but still we say, “Lay cm, Macduff.” Still later! Ouch! This, (Thurs day Imorning, upon coming from SI um • 1 be Hand, we found that the night had > added about two feet more in depth, and high winds bad piled it in drifts iaad this writing, (near noon) the all is still laden with the fleecy and com ing to beat the band. Even we have had enough and are ready to cry quits GOOD LETTERS FROM READERS Distant Readers Send Greetings and News Budgets. Never Touched’Em. In remitting for another year’ssub cription to the Northwestern, Prof. . H. Burwell at Leigh this state, ho owns a fine farm in the Wiggle Creek district, says: “We see you had another hard storm in the western part of the state. The last three storms have barely touched us here’’. Grandpa Leach Happy Our good friend D. C. Leach, who should never have left here for Oak* dale. Neb., and got away from the best people on earth, is yet happy, notwithstanding, and his letter states why, especially: “Mrs. Leach and I with our daughter, Mary, made Carl and Winnifred (McKinnie) and their son, Thomas, (at Tehachapi, Calif.) a visit this winter. We were out there two months and found them doing well. They are busy now set ting out 50,000 apple trees. We have had our share of hard winter weather but the ground hog didn’t see his shadow and March came in like a lion, so we expect something better soon. Remember us to our Loup City and Sherman county friends.” Home Seed Cora The Best W. H. Mellor, secretary of the state bojrd of agriculture, who accompan ied the seed corn special train through a portion of Nebraska, said he was interested in the case of a man who heard the seed specialists lecture at a certain station and listened intently to statements that corn shipped from a long distance would not produce as good corn as seed grown from nub bins grown in the vicinity where the planting is done. The man in ques tion had just shipped two car loads of fine looking ears from Iowa and was offering them for seed at the rate of •2 per bushel. The man produced one of his ears and began to berate the lecturer who would say anything against his imported corn. The ear shown was accepted by the seed specialist and eighteen grains placed in the moist earth in a tester. At the end of the week, after time had been given for the grains to grow, it was found that not one of them ger minated—State Journal. We hear by wirless that Ed Gould of Kearney is spoken of for state sen ator by republicans of that counti. It is claimed Mr- Gould can correll a goodly republican vote in that county and as he has good many party friends in Sherman county, the big stockman would undoubtedly be a strong can didate, if he concluded to come out. Along R. R. No. 2. Miss Annie Steutheit has been sew at the home of Chris Oltjenbrun the past week. Miss Mable Gray is working at Ar cadia. Mrs. John Galloway was surprised at her home last Thursday, by her relatives. The visitors remained un til the wee small hours of the morn ing. Fritz Bichel sold two Registered bulls to Clint Outhouse last Friday. Horace Casteel is visiting in Elliston Iowa, this week. Mr. and Mr. C. O. Wagner are new patrons on route 2. They are located on Earnest Bell’s old pla ce. Anton Moseki went to south Oma ha for a month's visit. Mr. RatzlaS has moved on Mrs. L. P. Squire’s place. John and J. Haller was seen on their way to Litchfield in the storm Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Will Behren’s baby has been very sick this week with lung fever. Mat Robinson’s barn at Hazard burned Monday night with 15 horses in it. Rev. Tom Gallerhes is stopping at the home of A. W. Wilson. The carrier wants to buy 10 tons of hav. Mr. and Mrs. James Rousch will be patrons on route 2, soon. We will be glad to see them locate on the route. Hugh Cash got a telegram last Thursday from Mrs. Cash’s relatives at nlbion, Neb., stating that his wife was very low with pneumonia at that place. Mre.Cash was home on a visit. Hugh took the early morning train for Albion Friday. The rural carriers have earned their money this winter, that is a sure thing. There has not been many days since before Christmas, but what the roads have been blocked with deep snow. This has been the hardest win ter I have seen in my six years Of ser vice, and the end is not yet. Carrier on two had one of the hard est trips of any of his six year’s ex perience Tuesday. He left the post office at 8 o’clock in the morning and did not get back to Loup City until 12 o.clock at night putting in 16 hours work. At one drift I had to shovel for one hour and 35 minutes before I could get through. Ail along the route the patrons were so good to get out and break roads for me except from Henry Goodwin’s box toBlcbel’s and in that section only Will Miller helped him through. Neither the carrier nor his team wanted for food ail day and it is these kindnesses that make a rural carriers life worth living and makes him put forth every effort in your behalf. He will never forget it. Ashton News Notes Janulewiz Bros, have a man here from Omaha installing their new ice plant this week. Mr. and Mrs. I. M. Polski went to Loup, Thursday, to attend the funer al of Frank Otlewski, returning Sat urday. Louie Jamrog and Geo. Polski went up to Loup Friday night on business relating to the new Base Ball League which is being organized. The young people of Ashton gave a surprise party on Miss Helen Kwiat kowski last Thursday. They report an enjoyable evening. Mrs. Janulewicz and sister Clara Bogacz returned last Monday from Omaha, where they have been visit ing for some time past. We understand that the Ashton Hotel has changed hands, having been purchased by one Jos. Smytg, who was, some years ago, a resident oi this vicinity. The corn special arrived on sched ule time last Monday and was greet ed by a good representation of farmers and towns people, the train being pretty well loaded. The lecture was without doubt very instructive and will save the farmer of this vacinity, thousands of dollars the coming season. « A large party of sportsmen took horses last Tuesday and went out with Kettle’s wolf hounds on a coy ote hunt. They report excellent sport. Some of them even going so far as to say they ‘’saw” a coyote. This statement, however, has not been verified. We do know though that there were a number of very serious accidents. One of the hounds got kicked, another got cut in a barbed wire fence and the other caught a Jack rabbit. Though the party was widely scattered and had only one gun among them, and a greater part of them came horn badly “shot”. At the present writing all have recovered and are able to be around once more. New Base Bal League Organized A new Base Ball League, to be known as the Sherman-Howard Base Ball League, has been organized, to be composed of teams from Loup City, Ashton, Farwell, Rockville. Boelus Dannebrog. The organization is to composed of amateur players only and will play a schedule of twenty games, starting on April 28, one game being played each Sunday, postponed games being played off on holidays and days of celebration, as far as possible, the balance being played during the week. This will give every one a chance to see the ball games without interfering with busi ness. It is bound to create a great deal of interest in base ball during the coming season, and will undoubtedly make the boys put up a better article of base ball. At a meeting of the managers of the several teams in St. Panl on Feb. 27th., J. W. Webster, of St. Paul, was elected President, W. F. Mason, of Loup City, Treasurer, and G. L Polski of Ashton, Secretary. In a later issue we will publish the com plete rules and regulations together with the schedule for the coming season. The Northwestern has added quite a number of new names to its list the past few days, among them being R. A. Henderson, J. L. Hsgood, H. W. Pedler, H. W. Gustafson and J. E, Huckleeberry of Sherman county, Mrs. Florence Brown of Batavia, Ills, Luther Goodwin at Palisaides, Neb., Chas. Sundstrom of Alliance Nebr., Wm. Dahmke of Benson, Nebr., G. M. Bell of St. Edwards Nebr., and others, who modestly request they not be mentioned, for various reasons but whom, with the rest, we thank for the courtesies extended Just the same, and their good will and kind words expressed as to the newsy char acter of the Northwestern. Besides these, there has been a grist of our old and true friends and readers who have renewed their allegiance to what they kindly say is the best and news iest paper they are now or have taken in years past. Thanks. And we are aiming to make it better each week. COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES From the Superintend ent's office Parents have you visited your school this year? One of the best reports received by the superintendent thus far is from district No. 14. Miss Emma Rowe, teacher. Report of month ending March 1, twenty-one pupils attend ing, sixteen have a perfect record, two cases tardiness, seven visitors. According to reports the largest rural shool in the county is in district No. 31. Report of month ending March 1st gives an enrollment of 41 pupils. The average daily attend ance is good. Certificates of atten dance were issued to Mable Jensen, Jas. Ivan and Lea Augustyn, pupils of this district. A pro?ram and basket social will be give at the Deer Creek School, district No. 12, Friday evening March 29. The teacher Mada Parlett and pupils cordially invite patrons and friends to be present. Don’t forget the baskets. Teachers have you aOourseof Study If your school is not supplied with one please notify the superintendent and a copy will be sent to you at once. In order that the same work may not be taught again and again from year to year it is neoessary that there be some definite outline of the work that is to be covered each month by each grade. The Course of Study which is such an outline, should be the guide of every teacher of the county, not only because the law says it shall be but because he knows it is duty to his successor. There are many teachers who have taught after a teacher who used no Course of Study and they realize that it required many months to grade the school nearly as it should be. The monthly reports show that many of the teachers are doing no professional reading. This available means of professional growth should not be neglected. We need the in spiration gained by studying profes sional books. Many reports coming to the office are not well filled and are marked so by the superintendent, These reports are to a certain extent an index to the character of work being done in the school room. Those wishing to teach and teachers whose certificates expire during the summer will do well to take the March examination; for if a failure should be made in any subject, two chances will be left to make it good Read the rules govering the exami nations and note the time for each subject and then please do not ask the superintendent to violate these rules. Why ventilate? Upon examination of my own and other superintendent’s visiting records I find that the fol lowing entries unvariably accompany each other; “Poor (or no) Ventilation,” “Bad Order,” “Not Studious” “Not inter ested.” Or on the other hand, “Good Ven tilation,” “Good Order,” “Very Stu dious” “Good Interest.” In country schools and also many town schools, pure air means cold air and vici versa warm air means bad air. But remember the old quotation “Of two evils choose the lesser,” The effect of bad air is often most visible in the teacher who often does not take the time to excercise at recess as the children do. “A teacher, who depends upon what has been, soon becomes one.” A wise observer judges of the suc cess of the classroom more by what the pupils do than by what the teacher does.

Owing to the expressed wish of many of the readers of the North western, and also of the Times, Bro. Beushausen and the writer have con sented to delay the raise in subscrip tion rates till the night of March 16, after which time the rate of $1.50 per year will be charged by both papers In spite of three months’ notice of the raise, before doing so, there proves to be a large number of our readers who delayed « little too long, and on the first day of March were found a number who had put off the matter of getting under the dollar wire till too late, but their persuasive talk and a number of other requests of de lay in putting the advanced price in operation, causes us to change the final date at which you can get the paper for another year at $1 to March 16th, as stated above. Now, we trust all who wish to take advantage of the low rate will call at tne captain's office early, as the evening of the 16tb of this blustery month we will abso lutely quit blustering about the raise and make it operative. That’s more than fair, is it not? You can still get the Northwestern for one year in advance at $1, if you get in before the morning of March 17th. Save that half dollar and be happy that much.
