Loup City Northwestern A LIVE NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN A LIVE TOWN VOLUME XXXIV. LOUP CITY, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1915. NUMBER 44 THE LATE WAR STORY The following article appeared in some of the dailies recently, and while there is probably nothing to it, it is neverthless, interesting reading: PARIS, France.—The subjoined curious communication, written on thick official-looking folio paper without any indication of its origin, has been delivered by messenger at the office of the Agence Havas, the principal news agency in France: "THE UNITED STATES AS THE PRIZE FOR SETTLEMENT OF THE PRESENT EURO PEAN CONFLICT. “It is stated on high authority that suggestions have been made in the diplomatic circles of European chan celleries declaring that the easiest so lution and the one most acceptable to all the warring nations would be the participation among them of the United States of America. The United States of America are a most inviting prize as compensation for the sacri fices rendered by these nations, and an arrangement on the basis of the respective relations of the different nations is surprisingly practicable. "So far from being a visionary scheme for the solution of this great world conflict, the fact is only too ap parent that only a small part of the effort expended in the sanguinary struggle, now raging, would have suf ficed to satisfy all nations in their respective ambitions. "A noted diplomatic declared his surprise, that this idea of the parti tion of the United States had not emerged sooner, because the land is so largely made up of the constituen cy of all the warring nations. “The tentative plan to satisfy thus the national ambitions of the Euro pean countries at war, instead of prolonging the internicene struggle, is broadly outlined as follows: “Great Britian is to occupy New England, Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Flor ida. “France is to get the French parts of Eastern Canada and the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Ar kansas, Tennessee and Kentucky.. “Germany is to occupy the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi ana, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, “Japan is to take th.e Pacific coast;, the state of Oregon, Upper and Lower California. “Mexico is to be compensated for Lower California by ceding to it Ari zona, New Mexico and part of Texas. “Russia will receive Alaska. “The Panama canal will be declared free, whilst the western states. North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Okla homa, Washington, Montana, Wyoming Idaho, Utah and Colorado will be con solidated into an imperial crown-do main of the German empire. “Though these ‘satisfactions’ are to be acquired in a concerted campaign, each of the several nations is to effect the occupation of its own alloted ter ritory. “Thus, it is claimed, would best be met the rights and interests of the different nations of old Europe, as it would safeguard their nationals under their respective flags. “Whatever be said about this bold solution it should be appreciated that in many ways it is more feasible than the three successive partitions of Pol land, which nevertheless are historic facts. “Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. This alleged tentative under standing of the powers at -war may be relegated to imaginative fiction, but it is surely not stranger than the sober truth, and it might easily take its form.” .

Sale commeiffces at 10 o’clock. J. G. Pageler is the auctioneer and C. C. Carlsen, clerk. AN UNIQUE SALE. The entire last page of The Northwestern is taken up this week by the ad of the Rexall Store, William Graefe, proprietor, advertising a one cent sale. It is a sale where you buy an item at the regular price—then another item of the same kind for one cent. As an illustration: The standard price of Rexall tooth paste is 25c. You buy a tube at this price and by paying one cent more, or 26 cents, you get two tubes. Every article in this sale is a high class standard piece of mer chandise—just the same as they have sold you every day at regular prices, and have sold you for years. This sale was developed by the United Drug company as an advertis ing plan. Rather than spend large sums of money in other ways to con vince customers of the merit of these goods they are ' spending it on this sale in permitting the Rexall Store to sell a full size package of high stand ard merchandise for one cent. It costs money to get new customers and the loss taken on this sale they consider well spent if the goods please. At this sale many, other goods in addition to the Rexall line will be sold for one cent, such as candy, j cigars, stationery, pens, etc. For full information read the ad on page I eight "SAFETY FIRST” LESSENS LIFE LOSS The Union Pacific railroad system will be given an absolutely clean bill on ‘‘Passengers Killed” during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915, in the report of the Interstate Com merce commission which will soon be issued. And the number of passen gers injured, for the same period, will show almost negligible in the Com mission’s report. Two years ago the Union Pacific system adopted a motto of “Safety First.” Every employee, regardless of his position, was enliste-s. :n the work of making the Union Pacific not only as safe as any other system in the country, but ABSOLUTELY safe for the traveling public as well as for the employees. The clean bill which the Interstate Commerce commission’s report will show is the result of that “safety" campaign. Not one passenger was killed on the entire Union Pacific system, from end to end, main line and branch line, during the last fiscal year. In that period 8,951,364 passengers entrusted themselves on the thousands of miles of branch roads of Union Pacific, and upon the main line trains from Omaha to Portland. Seattle and Spokane, from Salt Lake to Butte and from Kansas City to Denver and Cheyenne, and not one single passenger lost his life, although, together, these 8,951, 364 passengers traveled nearly ONE BILLION miles during that year. Not only does this apply to those passen gers actually on board the trains, but it includes those who were preparing to go aboard, or who were leaving the trains of the company. Regardless of whether the blame lay with the rail road, or was due to the grossest, most flagrant carelessness on the part of the passenger, the fact remains that D.URING THE FISCAL YEAR END ING JUNE 30TH, 1915, NOT ONE SINGLE UNION PACIFIC PASSEN GER WAS KILLED. One of the points insisted upon by the Interstate Commerce commission is that, should any passenger die a3 the result of an accident while on board a train, or while either board ing or leaving a train, that death shall be charged to “train accidents." So, when the Commission gave Union Pacific system a clean bill for last year, it meant that not only was no passenger killed instantly, but that not one died from the effect of an ac cident during the year. And speaking of accidents, the num ber of passengers injured on tha Union Pacific system for the entire year, according to the Commission’s report, was just 399 and the total number of passengers carried for the year was 8,951,364. These 8,951,364 passengers traveled 847,938,544 miles. None were killed and but 399 injured. But Union Pacific’s “Safety First" campaign is not benefitting passen gers alone. Employees are reaping handsome returns on the efforts they are making to prevent accidents to each other. A comparison of the figures show that the number of casualties in 1913, before the “Safety First” campaign was launched, was more than cut in half last year. And the number of injured from accidents, for the same years, was just quar tered. To be exact, there v.as a re duction of 52.5 percent in the "em ployees killed” column and of 25.6 percent in the “employees injured” list FARM FOR QUICK SALE.

WILL BECOME “FIRST LADY OF THE LAND." Last Thursday news went out from Washington to the world announcing the engagement of President Wilson and Mrs. Norman Galt, of that city, and therumors current indicate that the marriage will take place some time during the first half of Decem ber. Mr. Wilson had been a widower just fourteen months on the day when the engagement news was sent out. Mrs. Galt is prominent in Wash ington society and in the circles of charity work. She is the widow of a wealthy and well known jeweler of that city, who died eight years Rg. Mrs. -OaVxnr. thirty-eisi* yeau of age. The story of her meeting with the president, resulting in a friendship that ripened into affection is told by their friends this way. A year or so ago Dr. Cary Grayson met Miss Gertrude Gordon. Miss Gordon introduced him to Mrs. Galt, her guardian. He introduced Mrs. , Galt to Miss Helen W. Bones. Miss Bones introduced Mrs. Galt to Miss Wilson. Miss Wilson introduced Mrs. Galt to her father. All this in j the fall of 1914. j There is a tinge of romance attach i ed to the engagement Of these two I prominent people because of the fact that the bride-tobe is a descendent of the Indian princess, Pocahontas, whose story has been sung through the days of American history. The newspapers have been giving a de lightful story of her ancestry and the woman who is to become the first lady of the land. “A real American of royal blood, a descendent of Pocahontas, the In dian princess whose name has so en riched the history of the new world, is to be America's first lady of the land. Mrs. Norman Galt, who will become Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, is proud of the fact that she is a de scendent, in the ninth generation, from the marriage of John Rolfe and Pocahontas, who saved Captain John Smith’s life wrhen the doughty English colonist was to have been killed at her father's orders.

But no onion lover would part, with that one distinct and appetizing fragrance for any price offered. From early spring through the year its penetrating, unmistakable pungent smell appeals to the soul of man. Children revel in them. Poets have written of them, at least one has. Sydney Smith begs that in his favorite salad “onion atoms lurk within the bowl, and half suspected animate the whole.'’—Oil City (Pa.) Blizzard. THE PICTURE EXHIBIT The Woman’s Unity Club desires to thank the townspeople for their kindly support and generous patron age at the picture exhibition last week. Since it was the first efforts in that line for our city, it was not sur prising that many did not know what to expect. We thank the teachers for their loyal co-operation. We thank the newspapers for their advertising. There are many individuals we would like to name whose kindly encourage ment and readiness to lend a hand was a great help. The grades as they came with their teachers must be complimented on their order and attention to the ex planation of the pictures. Particular mention must be made of the valient efforts of the pupils in tehir sale of tickets. Two pictures were offered as prizes. The ninth grade ranked first with near $18, tenth grade next with 14.45, sixth grade, $9.60 and fifth grade, $6.95. The eighth, seventh and fourth grades did pot enter the contest, but brought in $4.25, 1.40 and something over $2.00 respectfully. The total receipts was something over $60.00, reduced by expenses to $40.00, to be expended for pictures. Four very good pictures have been selected. These togthr with th two prize pictures make six high class pic tures to be placed on the walls of our school rooms. It was a pleasure to see the mothers with their little ones going from pic ture to picture, telling the story, ad miring the beauty, or interpreting the truth taught by the artist. It is most gratifying also to hear he pupils re spect some of the strongest points naploylaPp olatht-soe shrdlu shrdlu brought out concernig some of the pic tures. Adam’s “Cat and Kittens,” some times called the “Cat Madonna” as me little boy said, “The mamma cat s hugging her little one;” and Land seer’s two dogs, “Dignity and Impu ience,” pleased the lower grades, rhe older grades had been giving lonor to Columbus Day so they were nterested in Brozik’s “Columbus at he Court of Isabella” and Reid’s ‘Coming of the White Man”. The '-feu visual iy took a fancy to Land peer's “Shoeing the Bay Mare” or some picture expressing force or power, as The Wave by James,” “The Evolu ion of the Book” and St. Ganden’s itatute of Abraham Lincoln, of Lin coin Park, Chicago. The ladies enjoyed Corot’s land scapes, French’s Alice Freeman Pal mer Memorial and some of the homey scenes of Dutch pasant lif. Many were attracted by the strong resolute figures of European peasant life as pictured by Millet.. They seemed symbolic of the unrecognized forces of earth, the forces that make toward human advancement and free dom. The workers were well pleased with the success of their efforts and feel that fruits will be returned for years in the future. Story of Dying Trees. Attention has recently been directed to the number of trees in Glasgow which are in a dying state, their sick ly condition being attributed to smoke. A correspondent mentions a singular coincidence in regard to five trees which a John Paitison planted in the center of his garden in Kelvingrove on the birth of his five sons. Two of his sons died early in the nineteenth century, hut three lived till after 1850, when there were only three of the trees standing. On the night that his son Matthew died one of the trees fell, and on the night of Frederick and John’s death (some years be tween l one of the trees fell, certain ly, as th-' writer remarks, a singular coincidence.—Glasgow Herald. The Flea a Dangerous Enemy. The principal indictment against the flea is that it is the partner of the rat in the propagation of the bubonic plague, and is, indeed, the more guilty of the two. Tt is perfectly well estab lished that the bacillus of the plague exists in rats of a certain breed. These rats a- ,'ested with fleas which by their l>' g transfer tin disease germs to other rats. When the rats die the fleas desert their bodies for other rats or for human beings. So fleas are the ; essential factors in conveying the plague virus to men, and it is possible that they convey it from one man to another, from a plague patient to a healthy man, without the co-operatioa at rats at all.
