THE NORTHWESTERN Entered at the Loup City Postofllce for trans mission through the mails as second class matter. Office Phone, - 6 on 21 Residence, - - 3 on 21 J, W. BURLEIGH. Editor and Pub Board Approves Pedler’s Certificate At the meeting of the county board this morning, and the certificate of election of J. S. Pedler as county at torney coming up for approval, Night, ingal & Son, attorneys for W. J. Fisher, appeared before it demanding the certificate of election be not ap proved. After evidence was sub mitted pro and con by both sides, and the a&uments given, the county board went into secret executive ses sion to determine their action in the matter. After weighing the matter for perhaps half an hour, the board unanimously approved Mr. Pedler's certificate of election. The thermometer slipped down to nearly fifty below in the mountain country during the recent cold spell. Our 20 below looks like a summer va cation by the side of that record. The legislature opened its 33rd ses sion Monday. The house being demo cratic and the senate republican, of course the third houses will be of the same political character. When Governor-elect Morehead,who is also president of the senate,^opened that end of the legislature Monday, he omitted the usual opening prayer. The conclusion arrived at was that the governor-elect must have consid ered the senators past praying for. Whew! The government thermom eter registered 12 below Sunday and Monday nights, and Tuesday night registered 20 degrees below, .lust what common sense there is in the old bulb going so far out of the way no one seems to be able to say. With a democratic president, demo, cratic congress in both branches, and a goodly majority of the states with democratic governors and either one or both houses of each state demo cratic, surely the country is undergo ing sufficient punishment for all past sins of omission or commission. And so the thirty-three big dyna mite conspirators are to get out on bail, pending a hearing on a writ of supercedeas. If the dangerous dubs had only stolen a loaf of bread or been into some other small affair they would be doing time galore. As it is, they seem to be having a picnic with the courts. The courts have been trying to get service on Oil Magnate Rockefeller for several weeks, but his doctors say he is suffering from an affliction of the throat, which would preclude his talking, hence he is still at his home and the official program has to go on without him. Pretty slick old geiser, eh? Kelley of Hall was elected speaker of the house, Henry C. Richmond chief clerk and Horace Davis, editor of the Ord Journal, was made first assistant. Clyde Bernard, who has been holding various positions in the legislature for the Lord only knows how long, catches on again, and this time to the secretaryship of the sen ate. Well, Clyde surely knows all about it, if a decade or longer of ex perience is worth anything. MANY MEN VVITMCUT RELIGION ^gnosticism and Deliberate Unbelief Astonishingly Prevalent Among Citizens cf Florence, Italy. Prof. Ugo Giusti, head of the statis tics bureau of .Florence, gives some curious particulars in regard' to the religious beliefs of the Florentines, declared in last year’s census. Heading the section of “No Religion” about ten per cent, are printers and about the same number of profession al men and artists, nine per cent, of civil servants, the finer trades and railway and tramway employes. In answer to the query on their religion curious answers were received. "I believe in the God of Garibaldi and Mazzini," “Religion is home,” “Catholic, but do not believe In God’s ministers,” “Catholic of my own con science," “Agnostic,” “Positivist,” “Ma terialist," “Anti-clerical Christian," “Anti-Catholic Christian.” In the population of 232,860 almost 205,695 declare themselves to be Cath olic, 1,541 Protestants, Protestants of other nationalities 1,798, Jews 2,569, other creeds 144, no religion 8,316, un declared 12,798. 8ave the Label. “Awkwardness in pouring medicine from a bottle cost me $2,” a man said. “Because I poured It out on the label side and got thp number of the pre ■ acription and the date blurred the druggftt wouldn’t refill It, and I had to give the doctor another call. I got no sympathy from the druggist. “ *But you had to learn your les son/ he said. ‘Nearly everybody does. It seems second nature for everybody except nurses, doctors and druggists to pour medicine from the label side of a bottle. The professionals never do. They always pour from the oppo site side and keep the label clean Laymen, after they have paid tb price of a consultation for the esp<_ jUntTi also adopt that method.’ ” | Subscription to the North- g § western is $1.50 a year j) |5 Single Copy 5 cents yj LOCAL NEWS.
