Editor and Pub By a vote of 21 to 8, the Nebraska senate Monday refused to repeal the one-tifth mill levy for state aid for bridges. _ Dr. Everett Catliell, who will be remembered as being here at the Chautauqua last fall and delivered a splendid address on Lincoln, died at Warsaw, N. Y., last Sunday of pneu monia. Central City, by a majority of five votes, last Saturday voted bonds to the extent of $55,000 for the erection of a new high school building and a ward school. Good for Central City. A druggist's mistake at Sunderland this state last Friday in selling a rank poison instead of a package of salts, caused the death of a woman, she dying in less than five minutes after taking the dose and before help could arrive. No arrests were made at the time, but investigation is on foot. Joaquin Miller, next to Mark Twain the greatest, or at least most noted, of the present century of poets and authors, died at his home in Cali fornia Monday of last week. Who has not enjoyed the writings of that quaint old man of letters? Two hundred and twelve people were killed and 1,404 injured in 1,303 auto accidents in the United States and Canada during the five weeks between December 15, 1912, and January 23, 1913, according to reports received. The fearful injury suffered by Mrs. McCrav last Thursday from a fall on one of our treacherous cement walks, calls attention to one of the danger ous elements of the past cement walk building in our city. When cement walks first began building in our city they were for a time made with a smooth and glassy surface, making walking on the same in wet or icy weather extremely difficult. Later the cement work was changed in a new building to rough finish, which proved safe and sane. It is but little wonder that the lady received the fearful fall, the only wonder being that we have not had to record many accidents, with broken limbs as re sults. Now comes a question of how to overcome the glaring defects in the early cement walk work in the city. Could not property owners having the smooth walks have the same roughed over without very much cost? It would seem that something should be done along this line before other and perhaps more serious accidents happen. The editor calls attention to this as one property owner who has cement walks of the smooth variety in front and around his residence, and would be one to remedy the defnct if it could be done at reasonable cost. To be sure the walks were builded before we pur chased same, but undoubtedly had we had it done we should have made the same grievous mistake. What is wanted now is some remedy, and we have no doubt all property owneis having such smooth walks would be equally willing to apply any reasonable remedy. Let us take action at an early date and eliminate the danger to pedestrians. Word being received from the bed side of Mayor H. W. Pedler at Grand Island Tuesday evening that his con dition was very critical, on Wednes day morning his brother, J.S. Pedler, and Dr. Longacre went to Grand Island, and at once phoned that his life was dispaired of. However, this morning word was received that he rested better last night.

Loup City, Nebraska First Special Prize Closed In A Whirlwind Finish Five of Leading Candidates were Neck and Neck With Three Others Following Closely—Five Girls Got Special Prizes, others Were Close The standing of the candidates for the special prizes is as follows: Miss Winnie Gasteyer, Miss Lena Zwink, Mrs. Emma Daddow, Miss Beulah Ford, Miss Mayme Adamson. The race was fast and furious and was anyone’s gamfe until the finish, here was only a few dollars difference in the standing of five or six of the candidates and a very little difference in the remainder. If some of the candidates could only see how close they were to the top candidate they could realize how one good subscrip tion would cut a lot of ice sometimes. So let this be a lesson to all of the candidates, and start in today to win one of the fine specials to be given away March 19th. See that you don't get left by a dollar or two. 1 came near forgetting to mention that a couple of candidates lost out on their club of $25 by a very close margin. Too bad you did not collect a few more subscriptions. There are still quite a number of subscriptions due the Northwestern in different parts of the county, and some parts of the county have re ceived v$ry little attention from the contestants. A nice list of new sub scribers has come in within the few weeks past, in fact they have been coming in so fast that we are fearful that in some instances we may not get all the names on the list as they should be and would be very thank ful if any new subscriber would kind ly notify us if he fails to get his pa per or if na«ie or address is wrong in any way.
