Whiteside county, 111., on November 14,
1884, and the third was W. H. Beker, of
Rockford, 111., who died December 22,
1884. On all except the first death the
Woodman society paid the full amount
called for by the benefit certificate.
One assessment on the entire member
ship in July, 1883, oid not realize quite
$1,000. Now one assessment on the
entire membership realize $350,000,

A boy was sent after a pail of water
says an exchange. It was necessary to
prime the pump each* time and give a
dozen or more stroke at the handle to
start the water. He poured in the prim
ing and pumped out as much as he pour
ed in. Then ho stopped to rest and the
prime ran down again. After two or
three hours of alternate pumping and
resting he concluded it did not pay to
pump, and then quite in disgust. The
story reminds us of the merchant who
advertised a few weeks, then stopped a
while and allowed the people to forget
him and his business before he advestis
ed again, and conclnded that it did not
pay to advertise. The fact is that the
pump had lost its priming while he
rested

THE NEW ROAD
Spencer, Neb. Feb 16 1900.
Editor Frontier: Wednesday evening
the citizens of this plnce were some
what surprised by the receipt
of letters and postal cards
announcing the fact that A. O. Perry
and party wished a mass meeting of
property owners called at Spencer for
the next evening, in order that eastern
capitalists might submit a proposition
to tbe people of this vicinity in regard
to constructing a railroad in Boyd
county. Accordingly about fifteen
property owners, eight or ten visitors
to the town and a number of kid6
assembled in the school room to hear
Messrs Kerr, of New York, Dobbs and
Perry, of Atkinson, unfold their plan
of building a railroad from Pierce S. I),
to Griekson and Cedar Rapids, Neb.,
and in time extending to Aberdeen S.
D. thence to Winnepeg Maintoba and
making close connections with eight
tiunk lines at various points, thus be
coming a link in various railways con
necting the Gulf of Mexico with Winne
peg, also a branch from Batte, Boyd
county to Lynch. After much juggling
of figures on a black-board and getting
them figured to suit their side of the
case, they placed a crude map of the
proposed railroad on exhibition and
Mr. Kerr explained the many benefits of
a railroad to Boyd county and proved
to his own satisfaction that this railroad
the Atkinson & Northern (and else
where) would benefit the county more
than any other railway. Then he ex
plained to the dear people how busy
the people of Wall street were, and what
would be necessary for the people of
this county to do in order to approach
capitalits. He then presented them with
a proposition to enjoy the privilege of
the great air line from Ceder Rapids to
Winnepeg. First it would be necessary
to subscribe 820,000 in capital stock to
the Atkinson <fc Northern railroad (or
any road it may be merged into) payable
in installments as follows: 10 per cent
upon notification that enough stock had
been subscribed, 10 per cent when
survey was commenced upon any part

of the line, 10 per cent when survey
was completed, 10 per cent when grad
ing was commenced, 10 per cent when
grading was completed, 10 per cent
when tracklaylng was commenced, the
balance dne when the first engine
went over the line. Also it would be
necessary to give them $20,000 in bonds
and also right away and terminal and
station ground that would be required
by them.
Mr. Dobbs then exf lained how little
they were asking of the Boyd county
people in the wav of aid, using as an
exarapile the fact of Grattan township
Holt county, giving to the Pacific Short
Line $36,000 In bonds and representing
that four sections of land in Boyd
connly had more value than the entire
township of Grattan. It was decided
bv the citizens present to call another
meeting for Monday night to take
action on the proposition as submitted
by Mr. Kerr and company.
