Notice to New Readers Owing to the unprecedented large number of new subscribers added to our list by reason of the contest just closed, and especially the last week, it has been impossible for us to order a sufficient number of quires to fill out the required list, hence a large number of new readers will this week receive only a half sheet, containing the local news. However, we trust by next week we will have the names of the new subscribers all recorded, the list filled out and sufficient paper to give all full sheets. Please bear with us till we get everything in working order. Another thing, we will not be able this week to give all proper credits but will do so as fast as possible. If after a week or two, you have not received your proper credits for renewals or added names, as shown by figures following your printed name, let us know and we will give the credits properly. Gasoline Stove Explodes at Bon Ton On Tuesday of this week a gasoline stove at the Bon Ton restaurant went the way of all bad mannered gasoline stoves and tried the stunt of putting in the crimps at that eating emporium, but the valiant work of our friend. H. A. Woody, who was in the restau rant at the time, saved damage by taking the flaming torch in hands and pitching it out doors. No Train Service This Morning Owing to the blizzard which is rag ing, the motor on the U. P. did not go out and possibly that road will have no train service today. At 9:20 this forenoon, the B. & M. passenger had not left Sargent on its way down the line, and the freight service on this branch has been annulled. Oh, a blinding blizzard on April 10, 1913, is sure a history getter.

Rev. and Mrs. Henry French arrived last evening from Elm Creek. Mrs. French will remain for a visit of some length, while Henry returns home to morrow. < Glen Farnswortli is going to leave this section and has gotten out bills at this office for a public sale next week Wednesday afternoon, at his farm in Webster township, 3 miles west and 2 miles north of Loup City. See Sale Bills for particulars Our people will regret to learn that Rev. Hawley, who was here assisting our Methodist friends in their pro tracted meetings some fewweeksago, has been taken to the hospital for a very serious operation, the removal of a tumor or abscess from the spleen, as we understand. Grave fears are entertained for his recovery. A second change in the ownership of our saloons occurred last week. The first was the purchase of the Eisner saloon by Ed Oltman, as here tofore mentioned in the Northwest ern, and the second was the sale by Wm. Graefe of his saloon to Mat Ignowski. Mr. Graefe has not de cided as to his future intentions, bub assures us he expects to remain here for the present. Take your hens bo Reynolds, the butcher. He pays the best market price. R. F. Wichmanof Scotia, formerly of Ashton, was here Monday evening, coming over to boost Henry Ojendyk’s chances of taking home the Ford auto, remaining over night and re turning home the following morning, lie is well and favorably known b> a large number of our people. In another place in this issue, Tony Gzehoviak, the hardware man. has a big adv. announcing a special sale of Onyx Enamel Ware. Tony is in the game for business and it will pay you to take advantage of this special sale on enamel ware. A. E. Chase has an adv. in this issue, a guessing contest, closing next week Saturday evening. It might pay you to read his announcement and get into the guessing. You might luckily get the set of dishes in question. The Ilallet & Davis Piano Co. come out in this week’s paper with a big announcement of sale of pianos in this city for the next thirty days. They have rented the old pool hall on the south side of the square. Read what they say and take a look in for bargains.

Tiiis Glee Club is composed of 23 young ladies and gentlemen and will give a high grade entertainment that will be appreciated by all. Admission 35 and 25 cents. Saturday, April 19tli, will be the opening day of the Rexall Drug Co. in their handsome new quarters in tire new Waite block. Everybody is invited to be present at that time to help them celebrate the day, and if Vaughn & Hinman personally, or the firm individually, does not deliver over to the editor of this gre^t family paper a box of choice Havanas, then —well, we will say something later. See their announcement in this week’s paper. Well, what do you think of that? As we goto press (Thursdav morning) a regular blizzard and blinding snow storm is on us, commencing some time Tuesday evening, following a day of drizzling rain, and judging by the looks of the sky, the storm shows no sign of letting up. How is that for April 9 and 10? Well, the big contest is over and we do not care as we did about the bad storms during February and March, which put a crimp in the contest period. Col. Jack Pageler left last Tuesday for a summer's absence down at San Juan. Texas, where he may invest in Texas land. Jack says he will be back this coming November ready to take on board all the sales going and judging by the large number lie lias had the past season, and the splendid satisfaction he has given in every case he will have his hands full. He cer tainly has proven a most excellent auctioneer and we believe will some of these nearby days be among the big fellows at the top. Rev. Dr. Leeper and wife went to Shelton last Monday morning, start ing from here by auto, but when some fifteen miles south, in going down a hill, the car lurched to the right in a rut and Dr. Leeper in giv ing the wheel too sudden a turn to get back into the road, disabled the car to some extent, bending the right steering knuckle, causing them to abandon the ear for the rest of the journey. Glen Steven in his auto on the way to Kavenna. saw tneir pre dicament and took them on into Ravenna, where they took the. train to their destination. They returned last evening'. The damage to the car was very light and neither the doctor nor his wife received injury save a vigorous shaking up. The car was left at a farm house for the present. About the liviest bunch of good sports one could wish to meet came up from Ashton Monday afternoon to either see Henry Ojendyk capture the Ford auto, capital prize in the Northwestern subscription contest, | or oiler scads of sympathy over losing , ont. However, we understand since that the boys came up with about half a million more votes than neces sary to be able to take home the prize, and what makes us feel badly is that they did not dump the whole push into the ballot box and thus cinch us as being among the multi millionaire class. Anyway, the boys came up with the intention of taking the car home, which they did, but whether Henry had hold of the dod gasted steering apparatus or not, the car landed some time that night in Ashton escorted by about the hap piest bunch of boys ever out for a killing. For the past nearly ten years, since the writer has been publishing the Northwestern, neither of the lobal papers have published the proceedings of the town council nor the minutes of the city school board. That they have not done so, is perhaps due to the lack of inattention to that matter by the editors, bub neither has the matter been called to our attention by readers until the past week, when several have asked us wheather it would not be a good thing to do so, that the public might be wise as to what was being done at these public functions, and have asked us to please give the interested people the pro ceedings as above. Certainly, it is right that the people should know what is being done and we have no doubt that the council and school board would gladly aid in giving pub licity to their doings. Hereafter, the Northwestern w ill try either by pub lishing the minutes of the clerk and secretary of these organizations, or by having a reporter present to take notes, to have the record of each meeting duly published in the issue following. Doiiing’s Bakery Opening Day Saturday 12th. ’ Will Dolling will on the opening day of his new bakery, Saturday of this week, serve a cup of coifee and sandwich free to all who call, during the hours from 2 to 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and from 7 to 9 o’clock in the evening.
