County Supervisors W. O.
Brown, J. H. Welty, Dan Mc
Donald and Supervisor-elect F.
T. Richmond returned Friday
from attendance on the annual
convention of Nebraska commis
sioners and supervisors, held at
Fremont the day previous. A
number of lively debates were
indulged in. Discussion of tax
matters brought forth a declara
tion favoring a legislative bill nul
lifying notes and mortgages that
failed to bear the stamp of the
county assessor. Discussions'
brought forth general endorse
ment of the above. The conven
\
tion favored new road laws, more
stringent methods of tax assess
ment and a complete revision of
: state bridge laws. It was brought
out that while supervisors were
compelled to keep bridges in re
pairs, under severe penalties for
failure, they are limited in the
amount of levy for bridge pur
poses. An example of the above
happened right in Sherman coun
ty years ago, in the W. T. Gib
son case, where he has been kept
out of money rightfully earned
for over five years. Another dis
cussion was had favoring county
road commissioners. One man
declared in favor of abolishment
of the offices of county clerk,

Joseph Smith, head of the re
organized church of Latter Day
Saints, with headquarters at La
moni, Iowa, died the 10th instant,
aged 82 years The writer of
thisi who in years past published
papers at Mt. Ayr and Leon,county
seats on either side of Lamoni,
knew President Smith as a fami
liar figure, the aged, white-haired
old man being well-known to ail
the people of that section of the
state especially. His branch of the
Mormon church was anti-polyga
i mous and he always denounced
polygamy as an untrue doctrine
of Mormon religion.
Few more certain methods for
the spread of hog cholera may be
found than leaving exposed the
carcasses hogs that hare died of
cholera. Even tho a carcass may
be isolated from other hogs, it
may be that seepage from the car
cass will reach a neighboring
stream and thus endanger a whole
section of the state. Again, dogs,
cats or birds,'^attracted to the spot,
may carry the germs to a hog lot
far distant and perhaps spread the
disease for many miles. The de
partment of animal pathology at
the Nebraska University Farm
urges that every hog dying of
cholera or of any other contagious
disease should be immediately
burned in compliance with the
state law.
Jingoes are working overtime
to induce this country to add
more men and officers and big
guns to our fighting force. That
would be a very satisfactory way
of pushing this country from
peace into war. If it is done,
then let these same jingoes be put
in the fore front of the conflict.
An order to that effect would put
a stop to jingoism, “believe me.”
Champ Clark is reported to have
attempted to make an address at
Detroit the other night, but was
so full of spirits that the audience
took French leave, the managers
tried to make him quit and when
he wouldn’t, they put the lights
out on him, and admission price
at the door was returned to those
who attended. Champ was only
exercising his right of personal
liberty, wasn’t he?
Dispatches report the German
kaiser as being a very sick man

with but little prospects of

And now comes confirmation of
the great naval battle of Dec. 8th,
in which the German Pacific
squadron was put out of business
by nine ships of the British fleet.
The engagement lasted five hours,
all the German ships being sunk,
while there was no loss of any of
the British vessels.

This tariff tinkering by the de
mocratic administration has caused
such a deficit in the national ex
pense budget that the people are
now having to pay a little more
for most everything they have to
use. Among the things that will
cost you extra, are a tax on tele
phone and telegraph messages,
frieght and express rates, public
places of amusement, tobacco and
booze, chewing gum, perfumery
and cosmetics, commission mer
chants, bowling and billiard halls,
stocks, bonds, contracts, certifi
cates, etc. Of course, our demo
cratic friends tell us this extra tax
is on account of the European war,
but that is like “whipping the
devil around the stump,” so to
speak. But the democratic party
is and always has been a party of
mistakes and apology, and history
repeats itself at present in extra
expense to the taxpayers of our]
country. Great is democracy. '

Notice to
The Public
To the Patrons of fhe Loup City,
Post Office:
This is the time of year when
the Postoffices of the country are
taxed to their capacity, especially
since the parcel post has been in
augurated and to overcome this
holiday rush, it is necessary for
the patrons to assist to a certain
extent and if they will observe a
few of the following rules they
will be doing much towards their
share. When calling for stamps,
do not wait until you get the
stamps before you think about
getting the money ready, but have
it ready when you call for the
stamps, the same is true of the
money order department where
many will not pay until they get
the order or the letter in which
the order is sent properly ad
dressed, sealed and mailed before
they think about waiting, not
thinking that this means delay
and causes someone else to wait,
because of your negligence.
When it comes to mailing par
cel post packages, be sure and have
them securely wrapped, and it is
unwise to send a parcel through
the mails in a hollow box, but
have the box filled with paper or
anything that will keep the box
from crushing in.
Another good way to assist the
Postoffice force is to get a lock
box, which is only a few Jcents a
month, and is more satisfactory.
Remember the Postoffice de
partment, through its local repre
sentatives is anxious to give the
very best satisfaction, but in or
der to accomplish this it requires
a little assistance along the line
above suggested.

Beer Always on Tap.
Bavaria has the world’s record for
beer drinking. Perhaps that accounts
for a certain push button in the city
of Nuremberg. On one of the many
interesting little streets of that quaint
old town there is a large, plain-look
ing building which serves as the down
town office and warehouse of a cer
tain large brewery. In the wall near
the door of this wholesale establish
ment there is a push button that evi
dently connects with an electric bell
somewhere. Over it Is a sign reading
“Blerglocke," which translated literal
ly into English means “Beer Bell”—
evidently an arrangement for spss
monlng more beer in case of emer
gency.

At a recent Liberal gathering ia
England a number of women, many of
them quite young, displayed banners
bearing the rnotto: “What are you go
ing to do tor the women?” As one of
| the fair young hecklers proceeded to
unfurl > " banner a handsome steward
rushed forward. “Leave the masses
and come to the particular,” he said.
"What do you mean?” she demanded.
“Pardon me,—bring it down to the in
dividual,” he explained. “I’ll marry
you—on behalf of the party.” It Is
not said whether this sudden proposal
was accepted or not.
Evolution.
If the theory of evolution “has been
overthrown” the fact is not generally
known. So far from being “over
thrown” the theory Is stronger today,
say the leading scientists, than it ever
was. Indeed, so these scientists In

accepted by the faculties of the great
learned institutions of the world and
is taught as part of the general educa- i
tion.—Chicago Examiner. * ,
