The usual bill calling for a consti
tutional convention bobs up in the
present senate.
A bill has been introduced in the
legislature to close pool and billiard
halls at 8 p. m. each day.
According to a ruling by Attorney
Genera! Martin, the legislators at the
present session get the raise to $*>00.

now. _
House roll, 209, by Representative
Beusch, relieves saloon keepers from
damages in gelling to drunkards, un
less warned tcKcompetent person not
to do so.
A bill lias been introduced in the
house giving boards of supervisors
authority to buy material and employ
laborers to construct and repair
bridges without letting contracts.
The dispatches to the dailies of yes
terday state the executive council of
the M.W.A. have decided not to put
into force the new schedule of rates
authorized last year, but will let the
next head camD. which meets in 1914.
pass upon the matter.
Senator Edwin C. Burleigh of
Maine learned the political game as
an editor. Ahern! That’s the way we
learned what we know. But the
Maine Burleigh seems to have profit
ed by it more than his Nebraska
and Iowa cousins.
A constitutional amendment has
‘been introduced in the legislature
to raise the salary of governor to
$5,000 per year, make the term four
years and make' him eligible for re
election. Two other amendments
have been proposed, one for the re
call of public officials and the other
for woman suffrage.
W. T. Fenton, the new democratic
warden of the penitentiary, has is
sued an order that drinking, both on
and off duty,.by employes will be an
offense subject to discharge, and that
smoking while on duty will also re
sult in discharge of employes. The
attention of Omaha's hairless mayor
is called to these awful democratic
rules.
Omaha is certainly entitled to sit
in sackcloth and ashes these days.
Not long ago, the Burlington took
away from it some of the departments
of that road witli several hundred
clerks and made Chicago their head
quarters. Now it is reported that in
the rehabilitation of the Central and
Southern Pacific roads their offices
may be removed from Omaha.
Ceresco, this state, is going through
a scare siege of Blackhand propo
sitions. Last week, five different
farmers and merchants of Ceresco and
vicinity received letters demanding
certain sums be placed in designated
localities under pain of death if they
did not “come across.” At first they
were inclined to treat the matter as a
joke, but later have come to the con
clusion that their precious lives are
in danger, and the whole section is in
the throes of excitement. At this
distance, it looks like a huge piece of
practical joking, but maybe some
thing more. In either event, the
perpetrators, if found out, should be
treated in such a manner that all
work of that kind would not be re
prated. '_
Three Bakeries
For Loup City
Will Dolling will open up a bakery
here in the old opera house, now
owned by John Ohlsen. Mr. Ohlsen
will have tl^p building put in good

the old stand in partnership with his
nephew, August Jung, who has been

In an misguided hour Mr. Pomgard
{iwner of the Gem Theatre, made a
contract with the former manager,
Mr. Foss, taking the latters word for
the rent. Yesterday Mr.Domgard in
sisted on having something more than
a promise and the result was a split.
Mr. Foss took the films for the even
ings. entertainment over to the Opera
House and put on a show. But luck
ily Mr. Domgard was able to scare up
a set of films that John Reed had on
hand and the show went on just the
same as usual to a good crowd. A
fresh supply of films of the best qual
ity will be on hand for tonight's do
ings.—Ord Quiz.
Odd Fellows
Dedicate Hall
Last evening, Excelsior Lodge. No.
1(56, I.O.O.F., dedicated their new
home, formerly owned by the Masonic
fraternity, with a splendid banquet,
prepared by the sisters of the Rebekah
lodge, and with nearly 200 Odd Fel
lows, their wives, sisters and sweet
hearts besides quite a number of in
vited guests present to enjoy the good
things provided for the occasion
It was expected that Grand Master
Bass would be present and entertain
the company with a talk along lines
adapted to the occasion, but for some
unaccountable reason he failed to
come. .1. S. Pedler acted as master
of ceremonies, and introduced those
on a program prepared, which on ac
count of the number present and the
banquet to follow was necessarily
limited. R. P. Starr gave an unusally
pleasing address, and was preceeded
and followed by violin solos by Master
Howard Starr, and during the even
ing there wasa reading by MissMarcia
Ver Valin, and instrumental and
vocal music by various musicians.
After an evening most pleasantly
passed by the large number present,
all departed for their homes, extend
ing congratulations to the brother
hood over one of the most enjoyable
events of the season. Besides the
members of the local order and their
dear ones, Rockville sent up a delega
tion of some twenty to swell the
! number and enjoy thededieatory cer
i emonies and banquet.
Mr. and Mrs. Jas. W. McDonald will
next Monday leave for Edgevyood,
1 Iowa, to make their home. Just
; about the time we have Jim cinched
to make him stay with us permanent
| ly, lie makes us have another think
coming. We hope, however, they
will later return to Loup City.
Manager Glenn Steven, of our tele
! phone system, feels that he has a big
| bundle of thanks to hand cut to the
patrons of the Shefman County Tel
ephone Company for their splendid
reception of the new system of calls
i and rings, as per the new directory
just issued. The patrons, without
exception, have adapted themselves
to the new order of things in a man
ner most pleasing to the management,
lie asks the Northwestern to re
cord his thanks by wholesale, as lie
j will be unable to see and thank each
| one personally.
The First National Bank lias in
I stalled a government rain gauge in its
building. The large glass tube will
register up to live and one half inches.
The receiving rain tube is located
several feet above the highest point
of the bank building, where there
can be no hindrance to the receipt
of the actual rainfall, the tube having
a straight downward fall to the rain
gauge in the counting room, where it
can be seen and examined by all. A
pretty good idea. We understand the
banks generally are installing these
rain gauges, and that the Polski
bank at Ashton lias also one installed.
Mr. E. Holcomb left yesterday morn
ing for Omaha to consult a specialist
over severe nervous troubles which
have more or less incapacitated him
from manual labor of late, the
trouble seeming to be principally
along his rigiit arm and shoulder
though at times interfering with the
right side of his face, and interfering,
somewhat, witli his power of speech.
We trust he may return with the
trouble eradicated from his system.
Mr. and Mrs. Jaocb Albers Jr.
were up from Hazard township yes
terday for a day’s visit at the home
of pater famailas. Mr. Albers mana
ges to get up to Loup City to visit
his parents about once a month. By
the way, Mr. Albers has purchased the
Wm. Garner farm, eight miles south
of town, and after this year will move
up on his own land
Mr. Louis Rein lefi yesterday morn
ing for Chicago to enter a hospital
and undego another surgical operation
for removal of gall stones and take a
thorough treatment of his system in
hopes lie may be restored to full
health. While friends thought and
still are of the opinion that he was to
weak to undergo the strain of travel,
Mr. Rein felt that lie could not wait
longer before making the trying jour
ney, as lie was not getting stronger
day by day, but rather weaker if any
thing, so with his wonderful nerve
and vitality he concluded to under
take the task at once. The North
western, with the entire people of
his home city, will follow him with
best wishes, and in hopes that he may
return in good health once more.

More Railroad Talk
II. Leone Miller, railroad promoter
hasnt given up his plans fora rail
road from Canada to the Gulf of Mexi
co. Word from Mr. Miller states that
he has originated a new company that
is to be capitalized at thirty million
dollars and incorporated under the
laws of Kansas. Officers of the com
pany have already been elected and
Mr. Miller states that he is president.
All the plans are told in a letter re
ceived recently by J. S. Detwiller, his
attorney on the Kansas side.
Miller was arrested in the federal
court on the Kansas side, where he
went to answer a charge of contempt
for failing to turn over the records of
the Winnipeg, Salina & Gulf railroad,
to the receiver. He was charged with
misuse of the mails, and locked up in
the countv jail. Later he was releas
ed on a $5,000 bond, furnished by
sriends at Salina, Kans., his home.
Mr Miller's new road has been
named the Winnipeg, Kansas & Gulf,
and will cover practically the same
territory as the Winnipeg. Salina &
Gulf. A local syndicate of twenty
men has been formed, each one to
contribute $2,500, making $50,000 in
all, toward the preliminary expense,
the letter staffed. The other officers
are vice-president. J. A. Reuleng; sec
retary, J. C. Henrod and trearurer, J.
A. Barnard. The company-has eleven
directors.
The bond issue of thirty million
dollars, Mr. Miller says, will be de
livered to a syndicate of Paris bankers
to dispose of and the proceeds from
the sale will be deposited with a re
sponsible trust company in this city.

THE WORD HELL
A Littl* Book That Contain* Som*
Startling Information.
A little l»ok selling at only five
cents, postpaid. Is having a very wide
circulation—running up Into the mil
lions. It contains some very startling
Information respecting the meaning of
the word Hell. It claims to demon
strate. both from the Hebrew and the
Greek of our Bible, that Hell Is NOT
a place of eternal torment, but merely
another name for the TOMB, the
GRAVE, the STATE OF DEATH. It
affects to show that man was not re
deemed from a far-off place of eternal
torture, but quotes the Scriptures prov
ing that he was REDEEMED from the
GRAVE at the cost of his Redeemer's
LIFE and that the Scriptural Hope,
both for the Church and the World,
is a resurrection hope based upon the
death and resurrection of Jesus. The
[ book is certainly worth the reading.
The Information it furnishes Is cer
tainly valuable, far beyond Its trifling
cost. Order It at once from the Bible
and Tract Society, 17 Hicks Street.
