THE NORTHWESTERN Entered at the Loup City PostofBce for trans mission through the malls as second class matter. Office Phone, - 6 on 21 Residence, - - 3 on 21 J. W. BURLEIGH. Editor and Pnb Did you swear off again? Nebraska lost 12,000 head of horses in the recent epedemic. How many times are you going to write it 1912, before you get into the game right? The Northwestern extends to all its patrons and friends its heartiest wish that they may have a happy and prosperous new year. Adolph Gotcli, aged 27 years, brother of Frank Gotch the wrestler fell out of a bath tub in a hotel in New York City last Sunday night and and broke his neck. Gee! but Omaha gets it in the neck from the Burlington. The company moves many of its departments to Chicago, principally the auditing and claims departments affecting two hundred men. New York City is now facing a giant strike of garment workers, who refuse to work without increased pay. Huh, and at the beginning of a democratic administration? The democratic governor is getting busy making his appointments the past few days. Morrissey, late demo cratic candidate for attorney general has been appointed his private secre tary and he has appointed the officials of the state penitentiary and heads of several other institutions. . Thirty-three of the big dynamiters found guilty at Indianapolis are sen tenced to the penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth for periods ranging from one to seven years. They got off mighty easy, if the evidence on which they were convicted was carried out. It takes juries sometimes to convey light sentences where heavy ones should rightfully obtain. Something wrong with the jury system. A new counterfeit $5 silver certifi cate is out looking so genuine that even many experts pronounce, it genuine. If any of our patrons have $5 silver certificates on hand and are suspicious that they may be of that counterfeit variety, bring them to us and we will run the risk of giving you a year's subscription and $3.50 in cash for each one. Our office hours are any and all hours of the day or night when we can have a chance to make the above exchange. The Northwestern this week, owing to the increase of advertising, and to publish all the news, is compelled to work on New Year’s day and in ad dition gives an extra page, making nine pages in all. We are not in the habit of tooting our horn over in creased patronage, but we are just as thankful to our patrons and friends, and also for the rapid increase in our subscription list, which shows a good ly increase in numbers each week. However, it makes us feel mighty good, and ambitious to make the pa per better and better each succeeding week.

Fisher was going about her house work, and was lifting a teakettle ( of boiling water, she hit the kettle against some obstruction, and a quantity of the hot water fell upon the head and face of her few months’ old baby which was crawling at her feet, scalding the baby about the head and face badly. However, the little sufferer is now getting along nicely. 20th Wedding Anniversary On Monday evening of this week, some thirty-five or forty friends of Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

A number went out to the scene in autos, but were unable to stay the conflagration Mr. Smith-and family did not arrive on the scene till the destruction was complete. Sounds a Warning to The Country Metchant Omaha, Neb.. Dec. 31_J. Frank Barr of Lincoln, secretary of the Fed ation of the Nebraska Retailers, yes terday sounded a warning to the country merchants of the state, if they do not intend to permit the par cels post to work to their detriment and to the advantage of the mail or der houses. He believes that the merchant who avails himself of the privileges granted him under the new law can successfully compete with the mail order concerns, even though they will be greatly benefitted by the parcels post. “Of course the mail order houses in Chicago are bound to profit by the change as it affects Nebraska busi ness, said Mr. Barr. Most of Nebras ka is within the 600-mile zone, as re gards Chicago, and the rates by par cels post will be about half the pres ent express rates. “But the country merchant has the advantage. He can send eleven pounds to any territory served from his own postofflce for 15 cents, where as it will cost 35 cents from any other office and more than that from distant points. “And the country merchant must take advantage of this opportunity. People in the country are going to demand the same sort of delivery service that city people now get. For instance, a suit of clothes only weighs seven or eight pounds; it can be de livered to the farmer by parcels post. If the Nebraska merchant don’t do such things the mail order house will reap the benefit.” Everything carried in a first class Drug Store at, The Rexall Drugstore.
