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. Tlianking you in ad.
vance. we are.
Very respectfully.

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.

Last Monday morning, while little
Raymond Pritchard, son of R. H.
Pritchard, was playing about the
home, he fell down the open cellar,

stitches taken in the same. The little

Monday morning of last Week, while
Mrs. S. N. Sweetland was doing her

hand in the wringer, drawing it clear
through to the wrist, before she could
throw off the electricity and stop the

that the hand may speedily heal «»«<
