Clair, Postmaster WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1894. Looking for a Location. Colonel Cody came in from the east on No. l" last night. Accom panying him were B. Singer, of the banking firm of Kopperl & Co., of Chicago, who is also Ass't Com missioner of Immigration for Ne braska: Arthur Hansl. secretary to the Commissioner of Immigration lor Nebraska, and Mr. Harmer, president of the First National Bank of Holdrege. These gentle men visit this city for the purpose of investigating the conditions with the object of locating a beet sugar factory. They control and repre sent an unlimited amount of capital which will be invested in factories of this nature at points possessing favorable opportunities. This morning these gentlemen, accompanied by Colonel Cod, started out to look over the coun try, test the soil, and make such investigations as necessary, one of the gentlemen having had experi ence in the growing of beets and the manufacture of sugar in Hungan. The part- will return this after noon, and if the' find the countn olfers the proper inducements for locating a factory a meeting of the business men will be called for this evening or to-morrow. At this meeting the gentlemen will submit a proposition, the exact nature of which is not definitely known to the writer other than that they will ask no bonus, but will expect the peo ple of the city to take a reasonable amount of stock in the factory, and also use their efforts in havinir the farmers raise a sufficient quantity of beets to keep the factory running during the season. It is well worth while for our business men to interest themselves in this matter sufficient to attend the meeting which may be called. and if the proposition proves a fair one, to take hold of the subject and do all in their power to secure the lactory. G. T. Field has branch office in Clinton's Jewelry store. Order by telephone there. W. J. Stuart went to this morning to attend a of the Masons. fellow riv- Oinaha meeting Monday morning a mg his name as S. J. Hoffman and claiming to be a piano tuner called at the Cody residence. Asking Mrs. Cod- for the privilege of ex amining her piano, it was granted, and he pronounced the instrument in very bad shape. He was told to go to work and tune it. He worked around it for several hours, pro nounced the job complete and de manded thirty-five dollars. This Mrs. Cody regarded as exorbitant, but rather than have a fuss, paid the sum. Hoffman, on leaving the house, told Mrs. Cody not to touch the piano until the following day. Along toward evening, however. Irma ran her fingers over the keys and was surprised to find that some did not sound. A further examina tion proved that Hoffman instead of tuninr the instrument had worked damage to it. Mrs. Cody came down town immediately and got out a warrant for Hoffman's arrest. The sheriff found Hoffman at the Pacific Hotel, and after some parleying the latter refunded the money. Hoffman insisted that the piano would be all right in the morning, and was told to call at the Cody home in the forenoon and if the instrument was in good condition the money would be paid back to him. This he promised to do. but during Monday night he sailed for greener fields. Hoffman is un doubtedly a fraud, and his object in requesting Mrs. Cody not to touch the pianc until the following day was for the purpose of getting out of town before his rascality was discovered. Until Jan. 1st. 1895, we will sell 201bs of granulated sugar for SI. 00, and all other necessaries as corres pondingly cheap. Harrington & Tomx.

The supremo court last week affirmed the decision of Judge Church in the case of T. J. Foley against. W. M. Holtry. This case was tried before Judge Church in the district court three years ago, and the Judge gave a decision canceling the contract and rescinding the deed to proporty which had been traded for stock in the North Platte Milling C. and also gavo tho plaintiff a judgment for SI .000. This ends one of tho most vigorously contested cases ever tried before the dis trict court of Lincoln rounty. Several month ago tho supreme court decided this case on a technicality in favor of Holtry, and it vas generally supposed that the decision was final. A motion for a rehearing was, however, granted, and upon a re-submission of tho case the and largely patronized. Koal Spar will save 25 per cent of your coal if used according to direction.

The feeling in the case had run high and Judgo Church in arriving at his decision was placed in a delicate position and sure of censure either way ho decided. The justice of his decision was seriously questioned for the. past three years, during which- tiojle. Judge Church has quietly :waited his vindica tion. It has come in this decision and the judgment of Judge Church has been upheld by the supreme court at every point. - Koal Spar is the best coal saver on earth.

Our Brady Island correspondent sends the following: On Sunday afternoon while several young men Were shooting at a mark with a revolver at McCullough's ranch, Jerry Long was accidentally shot. It seems that Jim McCullough had been loading the revolver and was in the act of turn ing around to hand the weapon to one of the boys, when it was accidentally discharged, the ball striking Long in the center of the forehead and rsoging back of the right eye. The young man was conveyed to the house and Doctors Irwin and Smith summoned from Gothenburg. The physicians were unable to locate tho ball and it was decided to send Long to a hospital at Omaha, where he could re ceive the most skillful treatment. The wound is a dangerous one and there is doubt as to the young man's re covery. J 8 might be expected, L'mg's companions are much distressed over the unfortunate accident. AX INDUCEMENT. The Bryant & Stratton business col lego of this city will present to each person taking a six months' scholarship between now and January 1st a hand somo gold-filled watch, of standard make, valued at thirty dollars.

Judge Nevillo held court at Lexington last week, having exchanged benches with Judge Holcomb. Though there but a few days, he sentenced four men to the pen. C. B. King, who assaulted and nearly killed a farmer, was given ten years; S. J. Pattie, who had three wives at one time, received a year's sentence, and A. Nelson and Geo. Steinman wore sent up for ono year for committing a burglary at Gothenburg. This makes eight men Judge Neville has sentenced to the penitentiary within the past three weeks, and he will soon be considered as much of a "holy terror to ovil doers'' as was Judge Gaslin in his palmiest days. Marti's unexcelled bread is now sold at five cents a loaf or six loaves for a quarter. - WILL HOLD ANOTHER ELECTION. C. E. Osgood filed with tho county commissioners Monday a petition asking that body to call a special election for tho purpose of re-submitting the proposi tion to issue bonds in the sum of S10.000 to aid in the construction of the south side ditch. This proposition was sub mitted last month, but was defeated by a. very small margin. It is believed that at tho coming election, which will be held on tho 7th day of January, the bonds will carry by tho required ma jority. The ditch will be of benefit to every farmer in tho precincts through which it passes, and tho man who casts a vote against it votes against his own interests. The benefits to be derived will ten fold over balance tho small in crease in taxes of tho farmers. what la a Off Sq nea A LITTLE HISTORY. Tho following letter is self-explanatory: Richland, Mich., Dc. 3d, 1S94. Rev. J. C. Irwin, North Platti:, Neu. Dear Brother: At our Thanksgiving service we took a collection for sufferers from drought in Nebraska. Will you kindly inform mo who is a suitable person to whom tho money may bo eut for distri bution and with it a barrel of clothing? If you would kindly give mo tho facts as to the general condition of tho people in your section, I will be much interested to receivo it. I think you must bo in the midst of the region most seriously affected. It may possibly interest you and somo of your people to know that I preached tho first sermon ever preached in your town, holding the first religious service and alio attending tho first funeral and saw the first grave filled iu the cemetery. This was in February, 1SG7. I was then pastor at Black Hawk, Col. I took the stage at Denver for the east and in fifty hours reached North Platte, tiien the terminus of the Union Pacific Rail road. Tho track was blocked with 6now and I was detained with other passengers five days, from Thursday till the next Tuesday; wo occupied mean while a passenger car that stood on the track. On Sabbath a melodian was brought from u house; 1 think the only melodian in town; the car was filled and the peo ple fathered around it, the doors being opened. I held service, playing tho melodian, leading the singing and using the melodian for a pulpit. The next day I was called to tho burial of the first man who had died in the village a laborer whose name I do no remember. There were then 300 or 400 people at North Platte, many of them being rail road employes. The town was started a few months before this. I note with interest your church of 200 members and over eighty additions last year. I heartily rejoice in the work that has fol lowed that simple service of many years ago. Fraternally yours, TnEo D. Marph. This is very easy answered. When you get them down they always squeal. That is just exactly what's the matter with some of our would-bo competitors. We've got 'em down, and very bad, too. and aro tramping the supreme stuffing out of them. This you can readily see by tho attacks they have made upon us the past three weeks in the city papers, but we aro iron clad and can stand it all. WE ARE ON THE SOLID ROCK AND THERE TO STAY, while somo of our would-be competitors aro on sinking sand and are slowly and gradually. but surely, sinking away. They have mado their last great and mighty attempt to leap out upon the top of that solid rock, but all in vain; they have fallen back back and aro lying all crushed and bleeding, and are dying a slow and horrible death. Poor fellows! We feel sorry for you, for we like to sec all do well. Your goods may bo all right, but your head is not. Your ways won't go here. Better move down on south Clark street, Chicago: you'd be old persimmons there: there you can split cotton batts, make two out of one: there you can split double width goods, mako two yards of one; there you can also acenso your competitors, that you aro buck ing so hard, of selling shoddy clothing clothing that has been moved around for six years. You can do anything there, your ways are all right for that class of people, for they don't know A from B: all they know is to stand and wranglo and jew you down. There tho business is carried on on tho get-all-you-can stylo and ask-you-five-dollars-what-will-you-give system, but that don't go in this western country; might as well give it up, they are all on to you, your cake is dough, for when the peoplo want good, reliable goods, such as Dry Goods, Clothing, Boots, Shoes, Capes and Jackets, they go to THE FAIR STORE, whore they know they can got good, standard and roliablo goods without paying two prices, or being insulted if they do not buy. as they aro being dono by somo Yours respectfully, dailv -:- THE FAIR -:- RICHARD BROS., Proprietors.

It having come to my ears that several parties had been saying around town that I. in connection with others, had circulated certain rumors to the detri ment of the North Platte National Bank during the past two weeks, I tako this method to denounce said statements as absolutely false and without any found ation whatover. I hereby chal.ango any of the parties who have circulated such lies to prove to me a single instance wherein I have ever said a single word against the North Platte National Bank or any other business institution of the city. I was informed on December 7th that Herbert Evans told all the officers andsevoral spectators in the froight do pot that ho had information from one individual that "Harrington had warned Mrs. Cody to draw her money out of the bank." As Mrs. Cody had never spoken to me or any of my family or we to her iu an way directly or indirectly regard ing any bank, I immediately p oceedd to run down the lie. Mrs. Cody and myself drovo to the depot and while she was denouncing to Evans the statement as falso Chas. Brown, from whom Evans said ho got his information, came in. Upon demanding from him his source of information, ho frankly admitted no ono ever told him so, but that the story sprang from his own vivid imagination Now if there aro any more such reports as the foregoing in circulation my friends will confer upon me a great per sonal favor by bringing thm to my no tico at once that I may have a chanco to run them down. I admit having heard many serious rumors afloat last week about tho bank but did not have any lengthy conversa tion or go into any of the details of the rumors with any one excepting with an old gentleman friend who spends a great deal of his time in my office and who probably did not have 8-"30 surplus money in any bank and any thing that I might have 8nid to him could not have hurt any" Jlristithti6n, as ourcon-ver-ation took place four or five days before the bank closed. It has been said that I am a "minion" of the First Nation?il Bank and that many still look upon me as a competitor just the same as when I was working on salary for tho interest of that bank. I will say that while I havo a most kindly feeling for that financial institu tion, wherein I spent fivo very pleasant years of my life, they have now no strings on me whatever and no "power'' over me, as many imagine. I most em phatically deny that I have ever had any hostile feeling against the North Platte National Bank, and regret as much as any one that misfortune has overtaken it. M. C. Harrington.

This will do away with tho half dozen or more engine pumps which havo been used in supplying air for various purposes. It is said that hereafter the 1400 class of engines, which are being ovorhauled, will be brought to tho North Platto shops instead of having tho work done at Cheyenne.
