We received a pleasant call on Tues
day from our young friend, Chris,
Sorensen, ’09 of our Loup City school
and now taking law course in the
State University. Chris was a mem
ber of one of the State University de
bating teams, which won from the
Illinois State University debating
team at Lincoln the 13th of December
and reflected much credit on his
| many friends in Loup City and else
| where. He has two more years before
; finishing his law course at the Uni
versity, and during the vacations
will be in Judge Pain’s office inGrand
Island, and after linishing his course
and getting his sheepskin, will have
a desk in the judge’s office in the
Island, with all the advantage that
will accrue from being coached by
that first class lawyer. Chris is one
of the Loup City boys who is making
exceptionally good, and we confident
ly expect to hear of him in the future
being up among the big Blacks tones.
Attempt on Life
of Deputy Warden
Made by Convict
Lincoln, Dec. 31.—(Special telegram
to Bee) Last Sunday afternoon at the
close of church services at the peni
tentiary, while Deputy Warden H. R.
Anthes was taking a crowd of visitors
to the prison, Jack E. Martin, a con
vict, sent up from Ord, drew a knife
and attempted the life of the deputy.
Anthes got out of his way and Mar
tin then started afterguard Stephens.
He was disarmed, however, before he
could do any damage and now is
spending his time in the “hole.”
Warden Melock said tire matter
was not at any time serious as Mer
tin was overpowered by the guards
standing near, before he could hardly
make a move. Martin wae sent up
for burglery and had nearly complet
ed a nine-year sentence. He had fre
quently shown a vicious nature and
for that reason had been closely
watched.
Cheering Words
From Nevada
In remitting for another year’s sub
scription to the Northwestern, under
date of Dec. 20, our old friend M. H.
at Fallon, Nevada, writes: “I am en
closing M.O. for $1.50 in renewal of
my subscription to the Northwestern,
which is our chief source of informa
tion concerning things and persons
Loup Cityian, We are glad to note'
the steady growth of the old town,
but so many new names are dropping
into your locals, and so many old ones
dropping out, that we feel we should
be more than half a stranger, or
strange to more than half the people,
which ever way you please. Things
are progressing here, too. Regards to
yourself and all old friends.” We are
sure the host of friends of our genial
ex-superintendent of schools and his
estimable family, will be glad to hear
a word from them and that prosper
ity also attaches to their new home.
Edgar Draper
Quits Photography
Our popular photographer, Edgar
Draper, last week hid good-bye to the
photograph business which he has fol
lowed for nearly a decade, locked his ]
doors and so far as that branch of bus
iness is concerned has kissed it a last
ing farewell. Asking him if he had
sold out, he said, “No: there is no
chance to sell; but there was a good
chance to quit, and I did. I have
wasted over seventeen years of my
best life in it and will now go into
something else.” He left Monday
morning on the B. & M. to take up a
territory selling hog remedies. Mr.
Draper is one of the best photogra
phers ever in this country, and we
wish him best of luck and much
money in his new line of business.

Obituary
Mae Belle Whitaker waa born near
Albion, Nebraska, May 20, 1893. She
resided there until the spring of 1904,
when she removed with her parents
to a farm near this place, and where
she lived until her marriage to William
Allen Cash, of this city, on Feb. 14th
of this year. She died about 10 p. m.
on Dec. 23th, at her home about nine
miles northeast of Loup City, as the
result of a sad accident caused by a
runaway, she and her husband having
just returned from spending the
Christmas holiday with their parents'
Mrs. Cash was a faithful member of
the Methodist Episcopal church, hav
ing given her heart to her Savior in
1903. She leaves to mourn her un
timely death, her sorrowing and heart
broken husband; her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. B. Whitaker of this place;
a brother, Rev. Clark M. Whitaker,
who is the pastor of the M. E. church
of Comstock, this state, and two
younger brothers, Eugene O. and
George Lloyd, besides a host of other
loving relatives and friends. The
funeral was held from the Methodist
church in Loup City, at 1 p. m. Dec,
28th, and was in charge of Rev. D. A.
Lee per, the pastor of the deceased,
and Rev. D. J. Poynter of Albion,
pastor of the Christian church of that
place. Those present from a distance

Allen’s Foot’s Ease
Substitute for Soda
It’s a mighty mean thing to do, but
the editor just can’t help telling it.
apropos of the visit tb our city last
week of some thirteeh angelic crea
tiens from our sister town of Shelton,
who captured the home of Glen A
Steven, and formed 1 cooking Bee,
thereby hangs this awful story.
The crinoline creations concluded to
make a huge cake for their delecta
tion, and no sooner suggested than
seconded by twelve other apostles of
the culinary art, the delicacy then
mixed, placed in a part and baked to
a nicety. The dainty was then cut
and the disappearance act begun with
side murmurs of conttent from thir
teen sweetly modulated voices with
accompanying expressions of “Fine,”
“Delicious,” “How swbet,” etc., when
suddenly there arose on the midnight
—no, it was only afternoon—air a
piercing scream. “Suffering bread
pans; what’s up?” slid Glen, from
outside the door, where he stood nib
bling—or attempting to swallow—the
last morsel of a small bit grudgingly
passed out to him. Again a heait
rending screech and call for a doctor.
■ “Doctor,” said a voice trembling with
suppressed emotion, “these girls have
baked a cake and instead of using
baking powder they have used Allen’s
Foot’s Ease: what shall we do?” By
this time, thirteen eager faces were
presed close to the phone, thirteen
pairs of eyes were dewey with anxious
expectation and twelve shell-like ears
acutely alive to sounds, while they all
wondered what the Anty-dote might
be. However, as the hostess hung up
the receiver there was a suspicion of a
smile on her face as she said: “Girls,
the doctor says the only action of
foot's ease is to ease the feet and as
it seems to help externally, it should
help internally as well.” And it did,
for right then and there was a com
motion and Glenn bad to fly for his
life. __
Newspaper Laws
Few readers of newspapers fully and
clearly understand the laws governing
the laws of subscription.
The following are decisions of the
United Supreme Courts on the sub
ject:
No. 1, Subsuribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary are con
sidered as wishing to renew subscrip
tions.
No, 2. If subscribers order a dis
continuance of their periodical, the
publisher may continue to send paper
until all dues are paid.
No. 3. If the subscriber refuses to
take the periodicals from the post
office to which they are directed, they
are held responsible until they have
settled their bills and ordered them
discontinued.
No. 4. If subscribers move to an
other place without informing the
publisher and the papers are sent to
former address they are responsible.
No. 5. The courts have decided
that refusing to take periodicals from
the postoffice or removing and leaving
them uncalled for, is prima facia evi
dence of intentional fraud.
No. 6. If subscribers pay in ad
vance they are bound to give notiee
at the end of the time if they do not
take it, otherwise the publisher is
authorized to send it and the sub
scriber will be held responsible until
an express notice with payment of all
arrearage is sent to the publisher.

Grew a little fern leaf, green and slender.
Veining delicate and fibers tender,
Waving when the wind crept down so low;
Rushes tall, and moss, and grass grew round it,
Playful sunbeams darted in and found it,
Drops of dew stole down by night and crowned it,
But no foot of man e’er came that way_
Earth was young and keeping holiday.
