Taylor, the pugil istically inclined statesman from Custer county, seems to occupy the center of the stage a good portion of the time. He appears to be a bull dozer from the word go, and if you don’t see it his way he gets on a fighting habit and either wants to fight or puts up a terrific bluff. Last week he tackled the house correspondent of the Omaha Bee, and tried to enlarge the smelling bottle of that ubiquitous individual, who merely gathered the irate “foncher” into his tender embrace, keep ing him from biting himself in his tempestuous agony, until members of the house called time and carried the Custer cuss to his own corner to sponge him off for some future and possibly easier undertaking. Six years ago, the Custer county statesman tried to pull off a like stunt on a mem ber from Douslas county, earning reputation now added to. Our people will remember him as stumping this district for congress as a populistic candidate some three years ago, whose physical deformity was so marked as to be especially no ticeable. But he seems to have developed the fighting-bug in his make-up to an alarming extent, nothwithstanding. In the past, the Northwestern has taken occasion to make a few cheerful re marks about him, which so far disturbed his evi dently not overburdened good nature that he was not able to see our hand when we were honored with an introduction, remarking, as he fixed the evil eye upon us, that he had heard of us. But, Jerusalem! how we would have ducked, had we realized at the time what we were up against. Now, for the love of Mike, head him. if he starts for Loup City again. “YyATCHFUL WAITING” seems not to have ' worked to good effect, even if over-time, in the Bryan-Wilson action over the Mexican situa tion. Just now the Mex. leaders have shown an independence of action not conducive to a pleasant temperament on the part of Uncle Sam, that has caused the old gentleman to order bat tleships back to Vera Cruz, and it now looks as if Uucle Sam would have to cross the border and whip the Greasers to a finish, before they will have accumulated sufficient sense to be decent. And what’s the matter with Col. (?) Bryan going down to polish them off? Or would he feel called upon to resign, on the plea of matters at Washing ton requiring his attention, as per his Spanish Amerian war record? J AST week, a prominent American(?) was yshot to death in Mexico City, and our govern ment is very much exorcised over it. That is, he still held his citizenship, though his residence and business interests had been almost wholly in Mexico for years. While there is no excuse for the murderous actions of those semi-civilized sav ages, in putting out of the way a self-assertive American citizen, yet we are of the opinion that America is big enough, rich enough, and with suf ficient opportunities for business for Americans, without going to other countries for the harvest ing process, and if they go elsewhere and get their fare-ye-well, we see no very good reason for Un cle Sam sacrificing the lives of thousands of our boys in protection of their lives and property. 'J'HE NORTHWESTERN is receiving many com pliments from its German friends over the new department in the German language incorporated in its columns. While the editor is slighty rusty in his German, yet he knows from the new read ers received and appreciative words from old ones that the innovation is a most welcoms one. /\ WOMAN in Omaha the other day filed pro ceedings in divorce against her liege lord, alleg ing he handed her one with a mop handle and fondled her over the cocoanut with a five-gallon gasoline can. Just for a little pleasantry like that; and in Omaha, too! Soon will man’s privi 'leges all be abridged. ^ MAN was adjudged insane down in Omaha,the " 'other day, because he anounced himself as a candidate for office. And now we understand what’s the matter with Omaha. % ^THE COUNTY . Deer Greek News Miss Margie Platek is visiting with her sister, Mrs. St. Novicki this week.

Cas teel market some hogs on the Loup City market last weak. PRESBYTERIAN The protracted meetings at the Presbyterian church, in charge of Rev. Walter E. Spoonts of Jack sonville, Ills., which probably closes this (Thursday) evening, have been full of life, spirit and energy, and proven Rev. Spoonts a power along spiritual lines. Personally and publicly, he has proven a live wire, and his coming has been productive of great spir itual good to the church and to Christianity. Each weekday even ing finds added numbers to those who hear him, while Sunday even ings the big church has been filled to overflowing, many being un able to find seats and the walls being lined by interested hearers, who apparently forgot the uncom forts they were forced to undergo in attendance. Each evening, al so, finds greater feeling exhibited by his hearers and at each suc ceeding sermon are found those who accept the call given to accept the Christ and ask for forgiveness for their sins. Should the evan gelist find it possible to remain longer, we have little doubt but that the result would prove the truth of the utterance given by a man of the world upon leaving the meeting at the close of the service Monday evening, that if he were to remain ten days longer, "be would take the town,” At the men’s meeting last Sunday, per haps 200 men ftere present, when he gave a history of his life "From Cowboy to Preacher,” beinga his tory of his life from the cradle to the present. It is hoped by the church and the community at large that his stay may be pro longed for a number of days yet before he leaves our city. • GERMAN There will l)e no services here Sunday, March 28, as the pastor will be conducting services in Ash ton.
