The taking of the nut from Mr. Boeck's

The Chicago fire interfered very much
with the "Chicago insides" and "out
sides" of various papers in this State,
and it has occurred to us that the Her
ald office might supply papers of that
persuasion in Nebraska at as low figures
as they can get in Chicago, and then
they would be furnished with interesting
Nebraska news, instead of stale items.
The type are set each week for the Her
ald, and with a simple change -of
heading and date, (as they do it in Chi
cago) we might furniah at least a dozen
papers with "outsides" or '"insides" as
they might select, at a very trifling cost
more than white paper. Send along
your orders, gentlemen; and secure a
paper filled with "live' matter, which
tells something of home affairs.

Hon. J. T. Cannon, of Union, is con
fident he has a paying vein of coal on his
farm. Items and sensational articles oo
Coal discoveries in Nebraska, have been
so common in the past, all of which have
proved unfounded, that it seams almost
like presuming on the credulity of the
public to say anything more a!)uui coal
havi-g i CL.n round west of the Missouri;
but with the character of the evidence
before us, we cannot but believe that
Mr. Cannon really has discovered a val
uable mine. His attention was first at
tracted by seeing a slab of black substance
in the side of the creek bank where the
water had uncovered it, which, upon ex
amination he found to be a very good arti
cle of coal. Last fall Mr. Cannon com
menced to open this mine, as stated
through the Herald at the time, but did
not succeed in fully developing the vein
in consequence of serious illness of his
family. He sank a shaft from the bank
above the creek down to the coal, and
took out a quantity, which he has been
using as fuel at his house all winter, and
which he pronounces superior to any he
has seen from the Iowa mines. This
vein has fourteen inches of solid coal, be
sides the usual covering etc Since that
time Mr. Cannon has drilled down, and
at a depth of nine feet from the fourteen
inch vein he passed through what he
thinks will prove a three feet vein of
coal, equal, if not superior to tho first
one. V hatever this last discovery wil
result in, Mr. Cannon is certain that the
fourteen inch vein will prove ve:y valu
able. ITe will commence further investi
gation in the course of a few weeks,
when our readers will be fully advised

A:CBICKE' THIEF CACODT.
Messrs. Eds. op Herald : It has
been known to the citizens of the north
western part of our quiet city for the
past two months, that there was a chick
en and turkey thief in our vicinity. Af
ter having made his nightly visits to Mr.
McKivit't hen roost for a while, he so
reduced his rations as to render it nec
essary for him to change his base for
supplies. He has visited Mr. Muliis,
Mr. Barnes, Mr. Reese, each and all
shooting at the thief at various times as
the fowls gave warning. "The thief is
amongst us." Mr. L. D. Bennett shot
him some three weeks since, and felled
him to the ground, but he immediately
sprang to his feet and left. But to cut
this story short, he made a raid about
daylight this morning, just as the chick
ens were leaving their roost. He imme
diately gave chase to a chicken. Whilst
he pursued his game with undaunted
courage, tho rest of the birds were giv
ing notice of his presence amongst them.
Their alarm awoke me from my morn
ing slumbers. I arose, lifted the win
dow curtains, and saw the thief in' hot
pursuit. I at once sprung from my bed,
descended to the lower floor, seized my
shot-gun (which I had loaded thi even
ing before with "fingle 0" shot for rab
bit), stepped to the 60uth door just as
the thief was hastily leaving the door
yard. The opening of the door at such
an untimely hour so astonished him that
it caused him to pause a breath ; at
that moment I levelled my trusty fowling-piece
on him, touched the trigger,
and be immediately lost all propensity
for fowls, to the great satisfaction of all
the neighborhood. W7hile we rejoice,
wolfdom mourns a brother dead. It was
the largest "Cayote" I ever saw.

Elsewhere in our columns will be seen
an advertisement of a new publication
published by the Union Publishing Co.,
being a complete picture of Chicago be
fore and after the Great Conflagration.
The Authors embrace the best talent
the City affords; Mr. Upton being the
Literary Editor of the Chicago Tribune,
and Mr. Sheahan, the Editor, each with
his part to perform, is sufficient evi
dence that the work will be done well,
snd not too hastily. In this respect,
this Book will be far ahead of anything
that has, or , will appear, and all who
want a correct History, will find in this
something that they can hand down to
future generations.
The work will be fully illustrated by
the best artists, to which will be added
a correct Map of the City, and mechani
cally, as well as historically, the book
will be second to none.
Our readers will Snd something in this,
without doubt, that will interest them,
and also be beneficial. We bespeak for
this Book a sale, both home and abroad,
fully as large as an American Book can
possibly obtain.

To the Public: In another column we
present to our policy holders and the
public in general, a special statement
showing tho condition of thii.coinpany
on thi 15th day of November) 1S71.
As considerable doubt still exists as to
the solvency of many of the leading
companies, we refer to the subjoined
statement with pride, and ask a careful
Ejrusal of the same. The fact of our
aving a handsome surplus over and
above all liabilities before the great fire,
and it being generally known that our
losses were small, business commenced
nourinz in from a majority of our asren
cies, immediately after the Chicago fire,
and the month of October has closed,
giving us over fifteen thousand dollars in
nremiums. or over three times as uiucn
as the same monin last year, anis
lanre increase in premiums fur Oc
tober. over the same month in the last
vear. sneass volumes ior me crean oi
- . ...
the company, and shows the value placed
upon our policies, both at home and
abroad, in such times of doubt as the
present.
It is now definitely stated that fifty-
seven (heretofore sound and reliable) in
surance companies have suspended, and
the insurance journals speak in a manner
which warn us that the end i not yet.
Many of the leading companies at the
east are bv this great calamity reduced
to an even footing with a number of
the medium companies at the west, and
we now present our claims as being in
every respect as worthy of your confi
dence, as those companies at the east.
With the present adequate rates, eco
nomical manaeement, and handsome
surplus over and above all liabilities, we
enter the contest with the full assurance
that the "St. Joseph stands second to
no company in the west.
