The only 1 way for our democratic friends to I win will be to wait till M. P. Kinkaid gets out the running. He does not have to run in this district at any tirpe: he has a most pleasant walk away always. The behavior of the editor for a season is now assured. His good mother-in-law. Mrs. Catherine Bridge ford. arrived last Friday noon from JetTseron. Iowa,and expects to remain for the winter, at least, at the editor ial home, the scribe meeting her at Grand Island and promising a beauti ful and meek spirit during her most welcome visit. She is the best mother in-law a man ever had. and we do not stutter in saying so. Elsewhere in our columns will be found the election table of the county vote on the national, state and county ticket for your edification. By the table it will be found that the total vote polled was 1943. The Northwestern Thirty Years Old Last week completed the thirtieth year of its existence and w ith this week begins on its thirty-first year. The present editor came to Loup City nearly nine years ago—Jan. 1st 1904— and if our readers will go back with us in memory that length of time they w ill with us be astonished at the wonderful advance steps the town ha- taken in that period of time. On the first day of January. 1904. there was not a foot of cement sidewalk in the city limits, the business streets having old board walks, or no walks at all. There were but four brick buildings in the city—school house, society hall. Conliiser and Gasteyer store-. The block containing the First Presbyterian church and the Taylor. Nightingale. Lorentz and Auiick residence-, had nothing there on and was used as a ball park. Dur ing 1904 there were over eighty resi dences erected in the city, and from that time to the present, the improve ment record has been that of large numbers of additional homes and new business houses. During 1904 began good cement sidewalk improve ment:-. eaeli year seeing good addition al work along that line until Loup City has more miles of substantial cement walks than any city of its size or near its size in the state. Since Jan. 1. 1904. in fact, has about all the sub>tantial improvements of the city dated. It is not necessary to take the time or space to enumerate what has been done. Take this article for your test, and looking backward for the past nearly nine years, or since Jan. 1 1904. and see if we have not spoken the facts. And may not the North western and its editor have some credit for its part in working for the pro'perity of the city and helping it forward to its present high standing? In season and out of season, in pros perity and adversity, for tifty-two weeks in every year, it has told of the good points of our town and county, lauded its citizenship, boasted of its people being the best on earth, urged enterprise, praised it when given, published everything that was good and covered much that was not so gcood. in fact, used the paper as a lever to lift up rather than as a club to knock down. It has perhaps scold ed a little about the bad walks before they were bettered, talked and preached and worked for more and better residences, ridiculed our won derful temple of justice, sitting in the center of our public square like a toadstool in a garden of flowers, and condemned that which was not for the best, but it has never forgotten its motto: "Stand up for Loup City and Sherman county.” And now, when you give credit for the wonderful growth of Loup City sinceJan. 1, 1904. and take cog nizance of all that has been accom plished in the city, enumerating in your minds and speaking in your talks of the things which have been accom plished within that time, be just and generous to the printer. If you think he has been a help, if he has been one of the boosters, that he has given hundreds of columns of good cheer and encouragement for the upbuild ing of the city, prove it by adding your name to its list of readers, if you have not done so, and as a business man hold up his hands financially by supporting him through his adver tising columns, while he is devoting hi» columns to the upbuilding and praise of' the city and its people. You have done well as it is. His list of readers have more than trebled in numbers since lie came among you. His advertising columns show four fold more advertising now tiian on the memorable day he purchased the Northwestern and cast liis fortunes among you. Your welcome has been appreciated and his lieartfias warmed to you. He lias tried to be your friend and helper. He has rejoiced witli you. in your rejoicing, he has sympathized with you in your sorrow. He lias been glad when you pros pered and lias said so. He has felt the gloom over your misfortune and and adversities, and wished for bet ter with you. May the coming year lie one of joy, comfort, prosperity and bettered conditions for printer, pat ron and our community in general, and may one year from now give each one of us additional cause for good cheer. Death of John Solms On Sunday, Nov. 10, 1912, at his home in this city occurred the death, at 3:30 in the afternoon, of Mr. John Solms, one of our best known business men. Deceased had been ill for sev eral months, fighting a losing battle with the dread disease, tuberculosis. Some ten or twelve years since, an in jury to one arm caused a wound which failed to heal and it keeping him from active farm life, he came to town and since lias been running a hard ware and furniture business here. Some months since his health began to fail causiug him to give up active business relations, later confining him to his home and bed. developing tuber culosis, and terminating in his death. He was a quiet, unassuming man, at tending strictly to his business, mix ing little in society or politics, very pleasant and affable to all, and had the good will and esteem of the en tire community. He leaves a wife but no children to mourn his untime ly demise, being comparatively a young man in years. The funeral took place from the First Presbyterian church on Tuesday afternoon under the auspices of the Odd Fellows, of which he was an honored member, the services being conducted by Revs. Jueling and Tourtellot, following which he was laid to rest in our Ever green cemetery with the beautiful ceremonial rights of the brotherhood he so dearly loved. Deceased was a native of Germany, born at Badenhousen, Schleswig Holstein, Jan. 11, 1876. In the fall of 1895, he came to America and Sher man county, making his home in Loup City. For the first three years of his life here he worked for the Ohlson Brothers, and then farmed two years. He returned to Loup City in 1900, en gaging in the hardware and furniture ; business, in which he was engaged up 1 to the time of his death. October 27. j 1898, he was united iu marriage to Mrs. Louise Hansen. He leaves to mourn their loss a loving wife, a father and mother in Germany, eight; sisters and one brother. Of these, four are in this country, Mrs. Johh Ohlsen of this city, Mrs. Mold of Grand lslaDd. and Mrs. Weil and Miss Amanda Solms, both of North Platte, j He w ill always be remembered in bus iness circles and by the great number of friends he has made by his social friendly relations with all with whom | he came in contact. Card of Thanks We wish to return our heartfelt j thanks to those who have gave of their kindness, sympathy and assist ance during the illness and death of of loved husband and brother.

Currier The Supt. is pleased to note the careful manner in which the written work in some of the schools is marked. This is certainly one strong point in the teacher's work. Written work should be given often and the work should be carefully marked and re turned to the pupils. The town schools of Rockville, Litchfield and Hazard closed last week in order to permit the teachers to at tend the State Teacher's Association | at Omaha. A brief synopsis of the association will be given in next week's paper. It is certainly pleasing to note the interest a large percent of our teach ers are taking in phonics. This is a step in the right direction and one which has been sadly neglected in the past in this county. This is a very important part of the teacher's work, j It tends to make the pupils independ ent of the teacher in the pronun ciation ot words. We feel sorrv for the child who is obliged to call upon his teacher for aid in pronouncing every difficult word. The child should be taught to go to the dictionary and not to the teacher for aid in pronounc-1 ing words as well as getting the mean ing. Teachers are you developing the “power to do'! in your children? Can a campaign for regular attend ance and puncutality be started to advantage at the beginning of the third month of the school year? The parents are responsible to a large ex-! tent in this matter. A half dav's ab sence with lessons and explanations missed is hard to make up. The teacher also has h6r i art to do in keeping the child in school. Many of the teacher have been putting forth special efforts since their schools! opened to keep their dailvattendance up to the highest possible* mark. Can someting be said or done to secure lockstep attendance this year? Teacher's examination Friday and Saturday Nov. 15th and loth. A few more second hand heaters for sate. Second Hand Store. $25.
