It did not take five years to discover that the
Jewel Grasoline Stove
was the only safe gasoline stove made, but 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," but 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

less gasoline than any stove in the market. Call and examine the la'te

A sad accident occurred about six miles
northeast of Sartoria, Buffalo county, last
week. A son of Mr. A. "Watson, while
Httempting to take a shot gun through the
window, struck the hammer against the
window sill. The gun was discharged
and the whole load was lodged in his
arm, making amputation pecessary. Dr.
Milne, of Litchfield, performed the oper
ation. The arm was taken off at the
shoulder joint. At this writing the boy
is lying in a critical condition and but
little hopes are entertained of his recov
ery. J. 31. Thomas, complainant iu the
Liberty precinct, Perkins county, election
contest, in his petition to the court charges
the election board of that precinct with
misconduct, fraud and corruption, in
allowing minors and repeaters to vote
without attempting to deter them from
doing so ; also in placing 240 fraudulent
ballots in the ballot box after the votes
were counted. The above constitute only
a portion of the charges contained in the
petition of the complainant. The parties
contesting the election have given bonds
to the amount of $10,000, backed by men
worth $100,000 .Ogallala Jlejlector.

It is said that the Cornell students are

Colonel Fred Grant intimates that Gen
eral Badeau began to push his claim
against the Grant estate when he (Colonol
Grant) was selected as the head of the
republican ticket in New York last fall .
The inference is that Badcau thought
Colonel Grant would settle the claim
rather than stand a public discussion.
It now appears that Tate, the defaulting
treasurer of Kentucky, was a church
member aud was known, foryears past as
"honest old Dick," always made a tearful
appeal in his speech of acceptance to the
democrats and urged them not to trust the
affairs of state to republicans. Yet it is
possible that treasurer Tate was no deep
er in the mud than other officials are in
the mire, and that he is simply the victim
of the demcratic ring. He was bound in
honor to loan money to all the state
officers and leading politicians in the
state, and the auditor is beginning to hunt
matters up to secure himself. This is
advantageous to the Kentucky treasury,
but rather rough ou Mr. Tato.
The farm mortgage alarmists have got
something of a set back in the report of
the commissioner of labor and industrial
statistics in Michigan. The commissioner
was naturally anxious to make: as big a
report as possible, in order to -magnify
his office and the necessity thereof to
save the people. But he :oulil only find
as the aggregate farm mortgages of the
state about $04,000,000. The "estimate"
made by the alarmists was 125,000,000,
about double the actual amount.' It is
probable that the "estimates" that have
been going round the circle of the of the
alarmists press for some time are just as
far out in the other states that have been
'estimated" with Michigan. Nebraska is
one of them. Ex.
When Senator Palmer was in Marquette
during the campaign of 3G he wandered
out of a barber shop without settling his
bill, and it was not until recently that the
eminent Percheron statesman learned of
his careless trick. He wrote his creditor
that while he was without doubt a mighty
hard citizen he didn't propose to shave his
barber, and enclosed a bright new 1

Miss Isabelle Blanche Singer, daughter
of the man who made $13,000,000 out r.f
his sewing machines, is to be married
April 25th to the Duke de Cazes of Paris,
and she has written to the executor of her
father's estate in New York for $00,000
to defray the necessary expenses connected
with the wedding. Miss Singer says she
"will need the money to pay for her
trousseau, jewelry, the furniture, horses
and carriages, expenses of the wedding
trip, and incidental expenses connected
with the wedding." Here is an American
girl who is marrying royalty with her
eyes open, for she is to pay all the bills
even to the marriage contract and govern

$6,000.
The saddest occasions in life sometimes
expose the meanest traits in the human
character.. If was so with a mill owner
in this city, whose name it is not necessary
to give. His father died last week and
he attended the funeral in company with
his only brother, whom he also employed
in his mill at $12 a week. When pay
day came on Saturday the younger
brother found that the time lost in bury

wages by his brother. PhiladelphiaPw.

The late Duke of Rutlaud had at Bel

office ho declared that appointees in the
Territories should be selected from resi

of his civil service reform promises, he
has failed to make good his words. Every

chosen from defeated and broken down
politicians from distant states.

The keeper of the Tillemook Oregon

The present German Empress is the
fifth English Princess who has held that
rank . The others were Edgyth, daughter
of Edward the Elder, wife of Otto I.;

III. of Germany; Matilda, tho link
between the Norman and Plantagenet
dynasties, wife of Henry V. of Germany;
and Isabella, daughter of King John t
wife of Frederick II. the Wonder of the
World. This last named Princess was a
direct ancestor of the late Prince Consort
of England, and therefore of the present
German Empress.
Colonel Bob Ingersoll says that he is in
favor of the nomination of some man who
can be elected. That covers well the
ground. Republicans are not going on a
picnic this year. There should be earnest
work to find just such a man, aud when
fouud to nominate and elect him. The
Colonel further along names General W.
Q. Gresham, and a great many earnest
republicans have similar thoughts. There
is one good feature of the contest that
whether it be Sherman or Gresham or
H arrhson or Lincoln or Allison, the party
will have a strong leader.
"What signifies such wide brims?"
Asked a correspondent of Mrs. Allen, who
has spent much time in Corea. "Surely
the Corenns are not Quakers."
"Thereby hangs a tale," she said. Long
ago the king ordered his subjects to wear
hats with enormous brims, three or four
feet in width . The object was to prevent
conspiracy. The rooms in Corea are
small, and with such hats on not more
than four men could get into the same
room at once. But with the passing of
generations the brims of the Coreanhats
have been growing gradually smaller
until they have reached their
dimensions."
