HA! HA! THE BEST OE ALL!
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. pump to get out of or
der or gas forced through the room," but can prove that less gas escapes
from it than any store made and can show it ha3 many points of supe
riority over all others and prove to you that the Jewel is
Tlxe : Best : Stove : IMZa&e.
They are all guaranteed to give perfect satisfaction and will consume
less gasoline than any stove in the market. Call and examine the M

The event of the season was a wedding
at the residence of E . C. Richards on the
eve of the 17th, Rev. Hosford officiating.
The contracting parties were 3Ir. Fred
Deinerand Miss Lizzie Everhart. The
bride is a very popular and estimable
young lady. She was attired in olive
preen silk while the groom presented a
fine appearance wearing-the- conventional F
suit of black. The young couple in
mediately commenced house keeping
Their many friends extend hearty con
gratulations. The dance at G. C. Campbell's was
largely attended and all enjoyed the
splendid music furnished by the North
Platte orchestra.
Sunday School has again opened, Miss
M. E. Hosford, superintendent Hope all
will attend.
G. 31. Babbitt has been purchasing

About ninety men are engaged in plant
ing forest trees in the vicinity of Somer
set, the third station west of here. The
work is being done by the Crete nursery,
it having contracted with about 80 indi
viduals holding timber claims in that lo
cality to plant and place in thrifty condi-
tion ten acres of trees, and the' first five
are now being planted. To fulfil the first
half of their contracts at Somerset, the
nursery will have to plant 400 acres to
trees this spring. Curtis Record.
Coal deposit finds are getting closer to
us. inc .superior aauy journal says:
"The workmen who are sinking the well
for the M. P. railroad company at 31t.
Clair on Saturday last came on a bed of
what they supposed to be coal. A quan
tity was taken out and when put in a lire
burned very nicely. The deposit is under
water and at the time of this report very
little could be learned of the depth of it.
A sample of the coal was brought to
Superior where it was burned. It is of a
light color but burns freely. Great ex
citement prevails in the vicinity of the
find and it is hoped that they have made
i genuine discovery of a deposi; of coal.':

rian has been wielding the scythe of
death among diseased horses in Frontier
county. Last week, in the central and
northern portions of the countv, he was
compelled to kill eleven horses affected
with the glanders. Curtis Record.
A, genius known as a tramp printer,
struck the town about the middle of last
week. Like those fellows usually are,
he was out of money, but could soak up
more whiskey than an ordinary "Kentuck"
still house could make. On Friday, in
order to make a raise he stole a Webster's
Unabridged dictionary from Attorney
Greene and sold it to Hatch for $2. On
Saturday he was arrested and brought be
fore Police Judge Learn, where he plead
guilty and was given fifteen days on the
street by his Honor. Kearney Journal.
The California fever has attacked sev
eral Frontier county people in a violent
form and a few may be induced to try
their chances in that sunny clime. It is
all well enough for a short trip, but they
will eventually return to their first love.
Cornstalks of last year's growth
appear to have more roots this spring than
they usually do and .the result is, that in
cases where wheat has been sowu among
them, they stand up so high that they will
be seriously in the way of harvesting.

While I. H . Jordan was in 17 orth Platte
last week he solicited subscriptions for
the new church to be commenced here on
the first of May, aud reports $115. as the
result of two hours' work among the lead
iug men of that city. Mr. Jordan desires
us to particularly thank Sheriff Baker for
kindly introducing him to the good peo
ple of North Platte, and T. C. Patterson
for generously heading the list with $20.
Our people thoroughly appreciate these
liberal donations and will remember the
donors as substantially when the oppor
tunity is offered. Wallace Herald.
The crop prospect was never better hi
any county than it is in Perkins county
this spring. All the small grain is sown
and up several inches in height. It looks
as green as an' we ever saw ; in fact it is
the very picture of the crop in the eastern
states a month later. Grain looks better
here now than it did in man- parts of
Iowa aud Illinois considerably later in the
season last year. The chances are that
this country will raiso a very large sur
plus for shipping this year, and If the
prices should be as good as they were last
year our farmers will be in a good condi
tion. The urouud is in splendid shape
for corn, and by the way, there is consid
erable being planted at this time, but
there are many who do not believe in
planting so early. Never in the history
of any new country has the prospects
been so bricht as they are in Perkins
county this year. Grant Sentinel.
Charlie 3Ioore's store at Wellsville
burned Thursday nieht. The loss on the
stock is about $2,000 dollars with no in
surance. The post office at Wellsville
which was in the store also burned. The
building was the property, of the Mer
chant's bank of Sidney and was worth a
thousand or twelve hundred dollars. The
fire is supposed to hare "been incendiary.
C. C. Nelson and Dr. Keenan
started this week with a bunch of 300
horses from the Tusler ranch. The bunch
comprised work horses and mares, saddle
horses, driving horses and stock horses
and is to be driven to Julesburg, Holyoke,
Kearney and farther east for sale. This
is a clear up of all the extra horses on the
ranch. The half and three quarter Nor
mans produced on the Tusler ranch are
as desirable heavv draft and general work
horses as are raised in Nebraska. Sidney

Charles Peterson returned yesterday
from Bessemer, Wyo., near which place he
has considerable pecuniary interest. It is
his opinion that even before the town
lots of that place are put on the market
that many people will be camped in tents
near to town, awaiting the sale. Mr.
Peterson says that searchers are now in
the Casper range for the re-discovery of
the "Lost Cabin" gold mine known several
years since to be one of the richest de
posits ever discovered in all the Rockie3.
The mine was known in Father DeSmith's
time, and at which time warring Indians
held sway over the North-west. Indian
tradition supports the Missionary De
Smith's letters, relative to the original
discovery of this mine and locates it in
the Casper group of mountains in central
Wyoming. Now that a systematic re
search is being made there is scarcely a
doubt of its re-discovery in which event
look for the greatert rush to Wyoming
ever made to any mineral country

There has never been a year in the his
tory of Nebraska when the outlook for
farming was more bright than at present.
The number of acres to be put in crop
will far exceed that of any previous year.
Everybody seems to have come to a real
izing sense of the fact that hard work and
industry are the cures for hard times, and
each farmer, so far as we have observed,
is taking a large dose of this panacea.

Small grains are all planted and farmers
are now preparing the ground for corn,
which will soon be planted. Instead of
small patches, of from ten to fifteen acres.
the rule now is to put in from thirty to
seventy acres. Let th farmers keep this
up for a few years and the sod houses
will disappear and their .places be occu
pied by comfortable frame structures.
'Hard Times" will take up its abode
farther west, just across the state line, and
"Prosperty" will adopt Frontier county as
its permanent home. The farmer who
now has a hard time getting- a loan on his
place of f 500 will then have plenty of
offers of double.that. amount .r-Grit

Quite a curiosity has been lying in front
of the Bank of Wallace lately. It i3 a
whiskey bottle filled with bags that was
picked up along the road south of town.
The supposition is that the bottle was
thrown away with some liquor in it and
the scent attracted the bugs, who imbibed
too freely, went on a jamboree and died
with the tremens. If you enjoy a curious
sight go and examine it A number
of our prominent business meu are organ
izing a stock company for tho purpose of
purchasing a number of fine imported
stallions to be kept at Wallace. They
purchased last week of Robert Wells, a
jentleman from Illinois a line three-year-
old Norman stallion, which is now at
Headquarters barn, and are now nego
tiating with several draft horse importing
companies with a view of buying an im
ported English Shire stallion. It is a
well known fact that the native horses of
the United States can be improved by tho
use of English and French horses, whose
coutrymen have devoted centuries to de
velopment of their favorite breeds. The
officers of this company, recognizitig the
benefit such horses will be to the farmers
of the country, are determined to secure
the best, regardless of cost. Wallace

Death from a Singular Cause.
On last Thursday while we were at
press, we learned of a heart-rending acci
dent which resulted in a painful death to
the two year old child of Ed. Gwinn, liv
ing a few miles north of town. Near the
house was a bored well, 125 feet with a
12 inch tube in it. This kind of a well is
not considered dangerous and is only
kept covered to keep the dust "put. The
day being pleasant the child was permit
ted to play about the yard. Mrs. Gwinn
had missed the child for a few minutes
and went out to look for it, and after
looking in every probable plac, she no
ticed that the cover was off the well
Hurrying to it she was horrified to find
her babe sticking fast in the tube about
20 feet below the surface. The child had.
evidently sustained no injury and if it
could have been rescued at this time no
injury could have resulted from the acci
dent, but unfortunately before help could
be summoned and a plan adopted, the
struggles of the child had caused it to
sink down until it could no longer be
seen from the top. In the meantime the
whole neighborhood had come to the res
cue, and it was decided that the possibility
of saving the child would be by digging
to it on the outside of the tube. This
plan was adopted aud a derrick was im
mediately rigged. The work of digging
began about 10 o'clock a. m., and relays
of strong men with the most persistent
energy kept it up withont the slightest
cessation. Several times during the af
ternoon, the child was almost in reach,
wheu its struggles would cause it to sink
still lower in the tube. At last at 11
o'clock at night at a distance of (55 feet
from the top. the tube was opened and the
child taken out dead, it having e sed to
struggle about ten minutes before it was
taken out. Broken Bow Statesman.
