The Champion Out Championed.
A special from Murray early this
morning brings to the Journal me
distressing news that Its old friend,
A. Walker, has at last been com
pelled to succumb to that which all
champions sooner or later must de-
eat. Mr. Walker has worn the cham
pion belt so long as a high live player,
defeating allcomers, up to the pres
ent time. Last night a contest was
arranged for Mr. Walker and Dave
Amlck against Monl Robb and Jim
Holmes to play ten games, which re
sulted In a victory for Holmes and
Uobb. Of course a good partner has
lots to do In the way of success, and
this may have been the sole cause of
defeat In this Instance. While the
Journal regrets to chronicle this
"downfall" of our friend, It Is to be
hoped at the next contest ho will be
successful In securing a partner who
can play as well as he can, and that a
redemption will be made by victory
again being Inscribed on his noble
brow. So we would advise Jim and
Mont not to crow too lustily over this
victory.
The Entertainment.
The entertainment given by Miss
Paulino Oldham at the church on
Tuesday evening was one of the best,
If not the best ever seen in our little
city, and the attendance very large.
The receipts amounted to $14 2.. The
musical numbers were rendered by
Misses Vcrnic Graves and Minnie
Shoemaker, of Union, and Mrs. Gil-
more and Miss Margie Walker, of this
city; Miss Lulu Karnes, of Greenwood,
assisted greatly In the entertainment
with vocal solos, and although not on
on the printed program, Miss Karnes
was a welcome number; she has a fine
contralta voico and hersclectlons were
met by the entire audience with a
glad hand. Miss Gussle Robb played
all tho accompaniments on the piano.
Miss May Bowman, of Broken Bow and
Miss Oldham rendered a number of
selections hi reading, which were the
main features of the program, and
were well received by the large crowd
present. Miss Oldham is no doubt
one of the best readers In the state of
Nebraska, and she Is certainly a favor
ite in Murray and Broken Bow, where
she is best known; Miss Bowman, while
but a mere child, possesses a wonder
fill ability for committing to memory;
she favored the audience with a num
ber of very lengthy selections and all
were perfect. As a whole the enter
talnmcnt was a success In every par
ticular and our people hope It may lie
but a short time when they may have
an opportunity of attending another
of the same kind.

IOWA COURT'S DECISION
The
War Among Lightning Rod Com
panies in the State of
Nebraska,
The Journal printed last week an ar
ticle purporting to bo from the Lin
coln Journal.which accused theagents
of Cole Brothers' Lightning Rod com
pany of St. Louis of doing an Insur
ance business in Cass and other coun
ties and that the r modo of dolnir
business was a fake. In justice to the
parties representing the Colo brothers
in this county we print the following
ruling of the supreme court of Iowa,
In reference to the same matter. But
as to same ruling holding good in Ne
braska we are not prepared to say:
"The case of Cole Bros. vs. J. C. De
Haven, appelant, distinguishes Insur
ance from guarantee.
"The facts are these: DcIIaven
bought of plaintiffs a Lightning Rod,
giving his note In payment; that plain
tiffs guaranteed that the rod should
protect the house, and that they would
be liable for damage to the amount of
$.jOO for damage caused by direct com
munication of lightning to the house.
The plaintiffs sued on the note, and
the defendant set up that the Insur
ance would not hold, as plaintiffs had
not complied with the insurance stat
utes of Iowa. The Supreme Court
hold that 'if one Is employed to watch
a building he may agree in consldera
tlon of such employment that he will
pay therefor If It burns down through
his negligence. This would
not be a contract of Insurance but of
guarantee.' The present case Is ex
actly identical with that supposed.
Consequently the contract Is one of
guarantee and not of Insurance, and
there was consideration for the note,
as a contract of guarantee could be
enforced. Hence the court below Is
sustained."
We are still using the above guaran
tee, on application to all parties pur
chasing goods of Agents for our Cele
brated Lightning Rods.
