HA! Hi! THE BEST OF ALL!
It did not take five years to discover that the
Jewel Grasoline Stove
was the only safe gasoline stove made, hut in 1887, the. first -year it was
introduced in North Platte, FORTY-SIX were sold, more than was sold
of all others combined. We have them with either drop tank or the
pneumatic, and in the language of the poet, "no pump to get out of or
der or gas forced through the room," hut can prove that less gas escapes
from it than any stove made and can show it has many points of supe
riority over all others and prove to you that the Jewel is
Tli.e : Best : Sto-sre : '3Ea,d.e.
They are all guaranteed to give perfect satisfaction and will consume
less gasoline than any stove in the market. " Call and examine the late
improved Jewel and be convinced and you will buv no other.
RESPECTFULLY,
L. STRICKLER.

weeks ago, with Mr: W: J. Powell to look'
after the interests bf Ft. Sidney. Mr.
Powell went south after the business was
accomplished to visit friends.
Judge Heist and Mr. Powell were intro

man Dorsey, and they explained the bus
iness they had and the reasons -iwiyFort
Sidney should be maintained and enlarg
ed. General Sheridan explained his idea
concerning military posts which was that
they should be built near large cities,
where they will be most needed in future,
aad the troops gradually concentrated.
Bft at the same time General Sheridan
does not intend to abandon Ft. Sidney for
sevaraV years yet and the post will be kept
in proper . repair, Congressman Dorsey,
Senators Mandertocand Paddock, and in

tively, six. four and two years. Some'
time since, an intimacy sprang up between
Mrs. Halley and a worthless fellow
named"Wm. Murray, who was engaged
,at work in the neighborhood. Halley ap
peared to be blind to this growing intim
acy, though the neighbors seem to think
it strabge that he should have been so
blind.' Frequently the guilty parties
would go to a country dance tegether
leaving Halley at home with the children
and it was noticeble that, at these parties,
the conduct of Mrs. H. and her paramour
was anything other than commendable.
Last Saturday night, the matter culmin
ated in the guilty pair leaving' Mrs. Hal
ley's home while Mr. H. was in bed with
the youngest child. A short time after
the escapade, the child awakened Halley
with its cries, when he called for his wife.
No answer came. Searching the house,
the husband found himself abandoned.
He dressed, and securing a neighbor to
stay with the children, went in search of
the run-a-ways. About three o'clock
Sunday morning, he arrived at Stockville
very much excited and apparently unable
to outline a definite course to pursue.
He says he has no desire for the return of
his unfaithful spouse but would like the
thirty-five dollars of his money that she
carnal off:
Later it has been found that the runa
ways arrived at Moorefield. about six
o'clock in the morning, went to the hotel
and immediately retired. They arose in
the afternoon in time for the train east.
They purchased a ticket for Lincoln.

made contracts to spay about five thous

About the first of May he will go to the
Indian Territory where John Clay, jr.,
will have 1,500 cows operated upon.
Later in the summer Heck Reel, of Green
River, Wyoming, will have fifteen hun

will have 500 mixed. Cap. Tory, of Big
Horn basin, also has 1,500 cows, yearlings
and calves to be spayed. This general
spaying of she cattle in order to fit them

The live stock commissioners of Ne
braska have investigated hundreds of
cases of hog cholera, 'and state that if
farmers and swine breeders should apply
such rules as are herein suggested they
would be,willing to reduce their losses to
to a minimum and cope successfully with
the disease. If there should be an out
break, seperate all healthy from the
diseased hogs as soon as possible. The
healthy hogs should be removed to a new
and uninfected pasture or pen, and care
fully watched by an attendent Should
any that have been thought to be well .be
come weak, or appear to be sick, ailing or
off their feed, take them out and kill them.
All diseased hogs should be killed and
cremated as soon as possible. If the
hogs be healthy it is advisable never to
allow new hogs to intermingle with them
in the herd until after having them sub
jected to a strict quarantine of not less
than seven weeks. Neither is it advisa
ble to allow any one to go into the hog
pens after returning from an infected
place without first changing his boots.
There should be but one attendant to look
after sick animals, who during such ser
vice should not be allowed to leave the
place. Hogs should never be watered at
a stream if it should run from where the
disease is known to exist. Dogs or other
animals belonging to infected farms
should not be allowed to roam at will
where hogs are kept, as they may carry
the infection with them. If these rules
are carefully observed there need be little
to fear of hog cholera causing any serious
loss or spreading to any alarming extent.
