DEATHS AND INJURIES
TO TRESPASSERS ON
RAILROADS INCREASING.
The Union Pacific has just issued
figures showing that during the year
1914 there was an alarming increase
in deaths and injuries resulting from
trespassing upon their right-of-way.
During 1913, there were 37 deaths
and 48 injuries; while in 1914 these
figures have been raised to 48 killed
and 90 injured.
A small proportion of these acci
dents occurred to the class known as
“hoboes,” the balance to careless
users of the right-of-way. This proves
that "the short cut along railroad
tracks” is dangerous in the extreme,
not only to school children but to
working men who walk to work. *
Any amount of caution exerted by
railroad employes will not materially
decrease the number of accidents oc
curring to trespassers, and it would
seem that the only procedure that
will shorten the list of fatalities is
for the state legislatures to pass laws
that will absolutely prohibit persons
other than railroad employes from us
ing the railroads’ right-of-way.
The readers of this paper would be
astounded upon hearing of a single
accident resulting in the death of 48
persons and the injury of double that
number, and the accident would im
mediately be investigated and, if pos
sible, the cause removed.
While these accidents to trespass
ers are scattered through a number
of states and occur at separated
periods, the total result is just as ap- j
palling. The responsibility rests upon 1
the general public and the State Leg
islatures and no effort should be
spared in taking the necessary pro
cedure to have this unnecessary lose
of life and limb entirely wiped ouL

Large Cortege Follows Body to
Arcadia For Burial.
Again death has invaded the
ranks of our community, and
claimed one of our oldest and most
respected citizens in the person of i
Mrs. Margaret Leininger.

She was born in Alsace Lorraine j
Germany, September 25, 1840.

gether with her parents she came
to America, and settled in Jay

hood days were spent.
On November 22, I860, she
was united in marriage to Henry
Leininger of Mercer county, Ohio,
where they resided until in 1889.
when they came west and settled
on a farm near Arcadia, Nebras
ka.
When but a girl in her 'teens
she was confirmed in the German
Luthern church, of which she re
mained a member, until in 1895
when she united with the Congre
gational church of Arcadia.
In 1905, together with her
family, she came to Loup City,
where the remainder of her days
were spent.
She was a charter member of
the Presbyterian church, of Loup

who died May 28, 1889. Her hus
band proceeded her in death, on
December 23, 1903.
She was taken ill some eight

patient sufferer, and bore her trials
with fortitude until the end, which
came Thursday evening. May 13,

and 18 days of age. She is sur

What Kind of
a House
That is the quastion
that perplexes the ex
pectant builder of-'a
house. He wants a
home that will be com
fortable summer and
winter. One that will
shutout winter’s blus
tering winds, and have
sufficient windows to
admit the summer
breezes.
The Mistakes
of Some Builders
in not paying attention
to details causes the
occupants discomfort
summer and winter
and they finally sell
the house simply be
cause of its faulty
construction. A build
er of houses must be
able to forsee all these
possible faults and
provide for them. Tell
me what you want and

READ YOUR HOME ADS
See What Your Own Merchants
Have to Offer You.
This week the advertising
columns of the Northwestern con
tains some special announcements
of interest to the discriminating
buyer who looks both to the quali
ty and price when purchasing
goods. Always up to the minute
in having suitable goods to fit the
occasion, E. P. Daily advertises
that he will completely furnish
four rooms for $110, cash or easy
terms, a price so low that anyone
can furnish up a nice home even
at a greatly lower price than any
mail order house could sell the
same goods.
Victor Viener is advertising The
Royal Tailors, promising for a few
days only to sell two suits for the
price of about one. H. M. Eisner,
the jeweler, has a unique and pleas
ing ad which will interest the
graduates and their friends. And
don t forget to read the supple
ment. In the supplement is lhe
announcement of a new firm at
Rockville, Sundstrom & Company,
a cash grocery. Among the excel
lent products this new store is
handling is the celebrated''Mogul”
line of canned goods. The Busy
Bee Hat Shop invites the ladies of
Sherman county to attend the'
clean up sale of stylish millinery
on the 27, 28 and 29, of May.
Everything must go at this sale as
in a few weeks other models will
arrive for summer and fall trade.
/ Several other new ads are in
this issue, but we cannot go into
further detail for lack of space.
Read the advertising columns
thoroughly every week. Loup
City has a progressive lot of busi
ness men who know and appreciate ,
the value of printer's ink and it is
the aim of the Northwestern to set
fourth their ideas in pleasing typo
graphical style, thus keeping the
people of Sherman county fully
posted as to the values to be had
by trading at home.

The Junior class of the high school

ADVERTISING
George L. Williams, advertis
ing mananger of the Studebaker
company, firmly believes that the
newspapar, whether it be metro
politan daily or local daily or
weekly, is one of the first media,
if not the first, in value to the na
tional advertiser. Having once
established a trade name, the news
paper offers a great opportunity
to cash in, as it localizes to the
consumer the particular product.
It tells him just where he can buy
it in his own town. It links the
national name with the name of a
reliable local dealer. It brings
the thing home in a way which
suggests immediate action.
When advertising brings a man
into the dealer's store or into his
garage it has achieved its purpose,
and the newspaper, if it is backed
up by the right kind of publicity,
1 believe, has wonderful value in
this direction. I am willing to
say that there are very few adver
tising campaigns indeed that can
afford to neglect daily and weekly
newspapers. I think I might go
even farther and say that if lack
of appropriation renders curtail
ment necessary, the newspaper
should be the last thing eliminated
from any campaign.—Binghamton
