Many havo beon led to settle on our fortllo prairies through the efforts of these gentlemen and tholr activities are In ovory way beneficial to tho community generally. Mr. O'Connell was formerly located In Omaha bo ho brings to boar In his work hero considerable metropolitan experience and a wide acquaintance through tho state. He has put through several largo deals In tho real estato and land lino and he has long sinco established a first class reputa tion. Ho does a general real estato and Insurance business, though he handles malny city nnd country prop orty In North Platto and Lincoln county and he has an excellent list, no unreasonable profit bolng asked on any proposition ho handles.

An influential and augment ing business and premium income aro derived from Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Nebraska, Minnesota, and South Caro lina, consisting of risks written on tho higher grade of blooded stock and the better class of farm animals, in cluding imported stallions and mares. Tho company issues three kinds of animal contracts on farm animal poli cies protecting against death from any cause. It also Issues special short contracts for track and exhibition ani mals, thirty-day pollcleB protecting against death resulting from foaling and thirty-day protection against death resulting from castration. Mr. O'Connell Is selling many of these policies and they provide Just what stock and horso owners need.
