M. of Nebraska has been in the city three days of this week holding a school of instruction for the lodge in this city. O. F. Bigleu, clerk of the local camp Modern Woodmen of America, received yesterday morning a draft for $3000 payable to Mrs. W. T. Rat liff, being the amount of insurance carried by her husband in that order. We have received our stock of holi day goods and can show the finest line of Christmas jewelry ever brought to this section of tire state. The. good are all first-class and our guarantee goes with them. Call at our store, inspect our stock and you will be con vinced that you can find nothing bet ter for the money in Omaha or Chicago. 21-2 Cole & Sox. Don’t hide your light under a bushel. If you have goods to sell advertise them and invite the people to call and see you. Many men have made fortunes by advertising their goods. The pathway is not closed and you cm do the same. Try it at once and remember t hat it is the constant dropping of the water that wears away the stone. Use a half column of splice every week for three months, changing copy weekly, and note re sults. If you do it you will bcconvinc ed that advertising pays. There are business men in O’Neill who are continually howling on the catalogue houses selling goods in this territory and when a pedd'lar happens to strike the country selling their particular line of goods their howls increase in volume until it becomes a roar that can be heard for blocks. Then he wants the newspapers to roast the peddlars goods and hard. About a week later a representative of the Omaha Printing company, Hammond Brothers, or some other eastern printing house, comes to town and these same merchants give them an order for stationary and ignores the home printers who are always standing upon for the city Welfare. This is consistency with a vengence. Mrs. Jones had hired two men to help with her house-cleaning. “Those picture frames,’’shetold them “should be cleaned.” “Yes” answered one of file men, “if you could get us some whiskey, why, it is the finest, thing to clean them with.” “Oh,’, she an swered “if whiskey will clean them, 1 will send down a bottle of it I have up stairs and you may try it.” The men washed the frames with soap and water, and of course drank tire whiskey. When Mrs. Jones saw the frames bright and glistening, she re marked: “And so whiskey cleaned those frames?” “Yes,” said one of the men, “it was whiskey that did it.” “And just to think,” remarked the woman, “1 came very near throwing that whiskey away. I bathed poor Fido with it before he died, you know.”—Wayne Democrat. Married at the residence ot the brides brother C. L. Bright in this city Tuesday evening November 25, 1902, Harvey B. Stocking and Miss Fittie L. Bright, Rev S. F. Sharpless, ot' Norfolk, officiating. The bride is a sister of C. L Bright and lias made her home in this city the past eight years and is a young lady of amiable ways and charming personality and has always been a favorite among her companions. The groom is a travel ing representative for the Hanford Produce company, of Sioux City and has made this city his headquarters for the past live years. lie is an ener getic, ambitious young man and has numerous friends in the teritory lie covers. The happy young couple have gone to housekeeping in a cottage in the western part of the city which the groom lias recently fitted up for bis bride. That their wedded life may be a long and happy one is tlie sincere wish of their mnnerious friends in this city, The Frontier among tlie number. isii@EiiiaEiara®aiaiaJc!iaiai3EiaE'®siaE®i3 WILL BUILD TO W COAST, Indications are ihat the Elkhccn Will Extend its Line to tho Pacific Coast. SIGNIFICANT MEETING OF THE DIRECTORS. Will Open up tho Wyoming Coal Fields and Compete With Union Pacific. All signs point to the fact that the Chicago & North-western will make record breaking railroad history in Nebraska and the far north-west this coining spring. On the first of the year the close traffic agreement of tlie former road and tlie Union Pacific, which lias been in existence for some time will terminate. The overland route and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul have entered into an alliance which lets the North-Western out of the deal and puts it on the defensive in tlie future. The traffic agreement, which lias been on for some time be tween t lie roads and which lias been advantageous to both, and under or dinary conditions would.have contin ued, but for the fact that the Union Pacific has feared that the Milwaukee, which has been looking recently with longing eyes on tlie rich territory across the Missouri river, might con clude to invade it and become a form idable competitor. In order to bead off this dangerous competition and make the latter road an ally rather than an enemy this road hastened while there was yet time and entered into an alliance. Along this line the recent meeting of the Chicago & North-western di rectors held at Chicago is of great sig nificance. It was the unanimous de cision of the directors that tlie capit al stock of tlie road should be increas ed many millions of dollars and that steps will be formed to take over the Freemont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley, change the present name to that of the parent road and make it a vastly more important part of the great system. Railroad men who are on the inside, firmly believe that this ac tion of the directors means an aggres sive campaign in Nebraska and the far north-west in the spring. They point out that the North-western, which, until lately, had an immense lumber traffic in tlie north, has recent ly awakened to the fact that the growing scarcity of the article has limited the field of its operations, and that the lumber, which was at one time a source of great revenue in this country, lias been nearly all cut and the road will, by force of circum stances, be compelled to turn its at tention to other localities, if it ex pects to retain its hold on the lumber traffic. In the far north-west tapped by the Northern Pacific and tlie Great North ern are billions of feet of tlie best quality of lumber and the North-west" era is looking with longing eyes to this territory. Tlie western termin us of the Elkhorn road at tlie present time is at Casper, Wyoming, and it is confidently believed that this point will he the beginning of tlie opera tions of tlie North-western in the spring. It is said that the extention will start from this latter place and make a bee line for Ogden, touching the Southern Pacific and t hen strik out for Montana, Idaho and tlie coast states, where the heart of 1 lie lumber region of tlie North-west is found. In the meantime while passing through Wyoming it will enter the Rock Springs coal belt and cut into the monoply of the Union Pacific on that class of fuel. Well posted rail road men feel sure that the North western will eventually build clear to the coast. Not only is it looked for the road to spend millions of dollars next year on a new line to the north-west but it is also expected that it will make some important extentions in Nebraska and South Dakota. The extent of tlie improvements in these two states mentioned is, of course, not detiniteiy known at the present time, but it comes from good author ity that tlie road will enter on one ol idle most aggressive campaigns foi business in Nebraska tnat has ever been known since it was built. Other lines, which appear so comfortably settled and complacent, had better look out or they w ill wake up some line day and lind tlie North-western cutting into some of their best points along their lines. The latter road is one of the finest equipped and best managed railroads in the country, ind it is tlie only line west of Chicago that at present lias a complete double track between that city and Omaha. It is not believed by those that are in touch with its policy in the past that it will lay down for a moment in the future and let the other great trunk lines take tlie cream of tlie trallic in Nebraska, Dakota and the iumberand coal country of tlie North-west, ail ol which points to marry times in the railroad world.
