W Dougal Offce First Floor, 4 doors south of Stats Bank Building a To Northwestern Subscribers We desire to cali our readers' au beniioa to the new ruling of the postal department which does not permit pubusiiers of newspapers to longer maii copies of the publication to sub scribers who are in arrears more than one >ear. Tills means that unless we can get immediate settlement from subscribers who are thus in arrears we •ill be compelled to pay the regular rate of postage on all such papers sent out. Of course no newspaper can af ford to do this, and we take this means of notii.ling our readers of this new requirement. The postal department has called upon us for a statement of our books with tin.' issue, as it lias upon all other papers in the country. The North western. like many other papers, lias encoded credit to its readers and lias **- idom sent out statments of account, because our readers bare been of the kind who always pay when their at i tent, n is calit-d to the matter. Now, - the f verment has intervened with a., newspapers, and requires the col * tun of these accounts more than '-•be i car old. With this explanation, *'e a-k all of Uiose who know them to be indebted to arrange for H*3 meat We cannot in a short time - . a!i of you. and it means a great am -:it of work to prepare and mall statement' to so many. However, we wih as fast a» possible, send state ments to those w lio do not respond to ti > notice. Our readers have been uniformly prompt in paying their a -into, and we hare not the slight est complaint to make, but we are compelled to obey tiie mandate of ; n. e Mm.

New Switchboard Installed At Central On Tuesday afternoon of this week, with all the connections made and everything in readiness, Manager Steven at a given signal cut the wires attached to the old switchboard, the "Hello” girls took their place in front of the new and up-to-date board, and presto without a moments delay, to 6peak of, the new board was put in active operation. Just how Mr. Ste ven and his men could have worked in such a manner as to have caused no delay in making the change from the old board to the new is a secret we have not been able to ferrit out. And say, patrons of the telephone ser vice, when you are feeling like “cus sing” over delay in answering your calls, just call at central and watch the "Hello” girls for a few minutes inthe“craiy quilt patchwork”, and you will wonder how they really do as well as they do. Little Oral YouQg '4 Receives Bad Fait While playing about .the school house last week Friday afternoon, little Oral Young, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Young, received a sudden push from a little boy play mate. throwing her off her balance, and she fell backwards into an area in front of one of the basement win dows. giving her a severe shock, strik ing upon her head on the cement work at the bottom. Fortunately, she escaped serious injury. Mail Agent Caught Filching Money Last Thursday morning at Aurora, Mail Clerk R. H. Miller was taken in charge by a detective of the postpffice department oh charge of stealing money from the U. S. mails and was taken to Grand Island to answer to the charge. There is no man in the employ of thegovemment mail service in the state more widely known than , Fatty” Miller, and. by the way, no man stood higher in the estimation of his friends than he. When the ar rest and facts regarding same became known, there was wide-spread in credulity expressed on every side. Mr. Miller was grand master of Odd Fellowship in the state two years ago. and only a couple of weeks since was defeated for grand secretary by the meager vote of 125. He is an ordain ed Methodist minister, and is possessed of a family of wife and four children living at Aurora, and accused and .family had the love and-esteem of all who knew them. We have been ac quainted with him for the past fifteen or more years, and his arrest and the disclosure of the circumstances were hardly believable. However, the facts leading to his downfall seem certain of proof. He had been a trusted ser vant of the government in the mail service for the past 23 years, and one can but wonder how he could thus have brought upon himself the dis honor and the consequent disgrace to his family^_ ^ _ Jim Grow Says See The Other Miew Jim Grow is sporting the prettiest pair of colored optics ever exhibited in our city, and to all inquiries merely remarks, “See the other fellow.” Last Friday, while engaged in Ijhe football game, he and one or two of the boys came together, with dis astrous results, placing Jim in “in nocuous disuetude,” so to speak. In fact the compact was such as to ren der Jim unconscious for a time, but luckily proving nothing serious be yond fixing his peepers into a state ol mourning.

H. Pritchard, was playing about the home, he fell down the open cellar, striking on his face and cutting a gash in his forehead which required six stitches taken in the same. The little fellow, otherwise was uninjured, save minor bruises over the body. Crust:1! Hand In Electric Wringer Monday morning of last Week, while Mrs. S. N. Sweetland was doing her washing, using an electric washing machine and wringer, she caught her hand in the wringer, drawing it clear through to the wrist, before she could throw off the electricity and stop the machine. At the present time the hand is so badly swollen that it is as yet impossible to ascertain the result of the injury and as to wlM^ber any hones were broken, ids tnbe hoped that the hand may speedily heal «»«< no serious injury be found beyond the crushing of the flesh.
