Sampson, after a hard siege of nearly lour weeks with the grippe, which has left him quite feeble, was able to come down town a short time today. We hope his recovery may be rapid and permanent. Commissioner Younsr went home this morning accompanied by a very bad cold, which he caught from wad ing snow without having his overshoes x on. He says Sam Waugh will pay the doctor bill or there will be trouble.

Ia., says: "I have used One Minute Cough Cure in my family and for myself, with re sults so entirely satisfactory that I can hardly find words to express my self as to its merit. I will never fail to recommend it to others, on every occasion that presents itself. F. G. Fricke & Co. Professor L. A. Sherman will give his lecture on "The Spiritual Law in the Natural-World," at the Presbyter ian church in this Sunday evening, next, which deserves something more than a passing notice. Professor Sher man is one of the most scholarly men in the State -university and he never speaks except to interest and entertain , his audience. . - The WeeDine Water Republican, speaking of J. W. Cannon, says: "F. F. Rexford tells of a transaction he had with Cannon last, fall, when the latter swindled him out of a lot of syrup. Rexford let Cannan have two barrels of sorghum to sell out in the couotry. This Cannon sold, but he filled aach barrel half full of water and returned it as that much - unsold so erhum. He brought the barrels back when Mr. Rexford was away from home, and reported to the little boy.'' j Johnny Fitzpatrick rounded up a grist of able bodied tramps last even ing and in a spirit 01 lun, inougn wearing a serious countenance, ne ioiq the fellows an order to recruit lor an army to fight Spain had just been issued, and H tne leiiows wouia noi. volunteer they would be torcea into .

The second meeting of the Young People's society was hold at the home of George Hawkins last evening. It ; was well attended by its members and a very enjoyable evening was spent. The seciety was organized last month and Neal Moon "was chosen as their president and Maud McKay as vice president, while Lottie Culkius holds the position of secretary. The subject for debate last night was "Resolved, that water was more destructive than fire," the negative side being the losers. The next meet ing will be held at the home of the Misses Daisy and Grace. Perry. The societv will debate on "Which will do the greater damage to the United States, whisky or a civil war?" Joe Carrigan takes the affirmative and Louis Walker the affirmative. Injunction Suit Filed. The C.

Egenberger and will at once buy new stock and run first class house that will be a oredi to the town. INFORMATION AM) OPINION. "Well," remarked Little Johnny Davies, staff editor of "our organ. (mo and Chapman), as he combed the remnants of a breakfast on eggs out of his whiskers with his fingers, there is going to be a lively campaign this tall, but it the boys don't tnink 1 can work the farmers to the queen's taste let them watch my smoke. I think will take up some religious subject, as I have loads of idle time, and give a lecture on the immortality of the soul or some kindred topic to catch the church people, too. A combination of these elements would bo positively irro sistible," and he walked off with self-satisfied smile that would have made Lucifer envious. It wiil also be admitted that when Mr. Thurston takes his pen in haud and squares himself at the table for the purpose of transferring h thoughts on Nebraska politics to paper it is the part of wisdom for person whoso scalps sit loosely on their domes to take a new grip on the same until the signature is affixed and the danger is over. Lincoln News. II. N. Dovey, a loyal admirer of Mc Kinley, ought to be selected as a dele gate to the national convention at St. Louis and if Cass county for once will present a solid front Mr. Dovey will be the lucky man.

In topography and quality of soil it is very like this county, yet their chief occupation oer there for years is btit just beginning to interest out people herp.

The contest now being waged In the equity court of Douglas county, before Judge Keysor, wherein Eugene Moore, state auditor, demands that the inter ests ofVpolicy-holders in the alleged Insolvent Omaha Fire Insurance com pany be protected by the stockholders. is of vital interest to Insurers in the state of Nebraska. The company was organized and au horized to transact business under the general insurance laws of Nebraska n 1889, and annually thereafter, under date of December 31, made sworn statement of the condition of the com pany's finances andjinsurance in force. to the stato auditor, as required by law, and procured a certificate to trans act business for the twelve months next ensuiner. The statement tiled to the close of business December 31, 1895, disclosed under oath of A. T. Rector, president, and S. D. ""Josseyln, secre tary, that the available assets aggre gate $183,365.80, and that the liabili ties were: Losses unpaid 4,500.00 Unearned premiums WJ.WCIHJ All other unnaid claims 4,244.55 Canital stock lttJ.UAUU Surplus - t,61S.3T) Total $1S3.35.36 In the early part of February, 1896, Auditor ' Moore directed one of his special examiners to enquire into the solvency of the company and verify the figures of the "annual statement, brintrinir the examination down to January 31, 1S91. This examination was proceeded with until the morning of February 22, and on the morning of February 24 E. S. Stone, a director since tbe organization of the company and one of its promoters, files a peti tion alleging- the insolvency of the company and asking for the appoint ment of a receiver, the petitioner claiming that the assets are prac tically worthless and that a pressing obligation of $65,000 exists. Return premiums, $35,000.00, and other claims (fire losses, etc.) $30,000.00. Following the petition of Director Stone, Earl W. Garmett. director and treasurer ol the company, is appointed receiver. and this latter gentleman by devious methods attempts to obtain the can cellation of existing policies without payment of return premium, so as to relievo his co-partner stockholders of this liability. Auditor Moore, on re ceiving knowledge of this scheme and a partial report of the condition of the company, appears as an intervenor and asks the court to take such steps as will compel the receiver and stock holders to protect their outstanding policies either by the payment of un earned premiums to the holders or the reinsurance of the risks in some sol veu t company, and that the unliqi dated loss claims be paid in full. The receiver, to the application of State Auditor Moore, through W. W. Mors man, attorney, replies that the auditor is without authority to interfere and that his attempt to have the iiquida tion of the company proceed is an im pertinence The case will be heard be fore Judge Keysor on Saturday after noon, and the victims who were cajoled by perjured financial state ments (as Director Stone alleges, if his affidavit is true), into investing their hard earned money for insur ance in a Home company, patronizing Nebraska institutions, will find that Auditor Moore's demand on the offi cars of the company to stand up for Nebraska finds a responsive echo in the voice of every Omaha Fire Insur ance company policy holder. Polarizing Photochronograph . Pittsburg, Pa., February 18. Among the recent inventions in the art of photography is that of the polarizing photochronograph made by Prof. Albert Crehore, of Dartmouth College, and Dr. George O. Squire, First Lieutenant of the United States army, now stationed -at Fortress Mon roe. The wonderful effect of the photo chronograph will probably be demon strated to the general public upon the completion of this instrument in the spriner. John A. lirashear, an astro nomical manufacturer of this city, has been given a contract for one of these wonderful machines. It is to be set up at Fortress Monroe, and will be used the coming summer in testing the velocity of the modern rifle pro jectile, as it swiftly speeds from the mouth of the great guns made by the United States Ordnance Department Mr. lirashear says it is expected that the machine will be completed by tbe middle of April, as the government officials desire to have it about tho 1st 6f May. This instrument not only measures tbe velocity of the swiftest cannon ball in its flight, but measures it inside or outside of the gun and at any part of its course desired, to a degree of oc curacy hitherto undreamed of.
