U 1885 PIATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, MONDAY, DECEMBER 11, li'OS Met CHIEF NATIONAL RANGE Although this range may hate an exterior appearance resemb ling the Ranges exhibited in other stores in the city, and therefore does noi appeal to you, as a sub ject of special attraction. We assure you that it is aeciuaaiy different from all others in construction, containing those particular features which make it the best Kange ever offered to the user. The firebox is so const ructed that the heat will radiate into the oven at the same moment a fire is started. Consequently, soon as the lire has at tained the necessary 2fi0 degrees of heat, .the oven also will register the ame temperature; therefore, it is ready to bake. The results of this direct action will have a telling effect on the coal pile, saving nearly half the fuel used in ordinary stoves. The f.re back lining is guaranteed for 5 years use. The front section of the top tan be suspended, making a convenient place for broiling or toasting. A special cover or lid on top is arranged for cooking oat meal, milk. rice, etc.. without fear of scorch ing. Th- body is made up of three distinct walls, which retain all heat jnto the stove. If you will call at my store and examine this Range, you will aJmit thre is r.o other to equal it at prices that will meet your approval. I have some special bargains in express wagons, ehitds and Misses Rot-kcrs. bookcases. O. P. JACKSOR3 PEARL MAN'S OLD STAND THE GUARANTY LAW Union HAY RETAIN FEES j From tb Ladder: I I J. N.

The Daily News of Piattsmouth has been discontinued but the Skmi-Wkfkly News-Hfrald is still published and wi'l cover the MelJ, we believe it 'will make more money for tbe publisher. There never was a time w hen a daily paper in Piattsmouth was a money maker, but the weekly paper is well per population that never had a daily paper. The subscribers were satisfied to pet the local news once or twice a week and the publishers did not. have a continual grind. On Thureday, Dec. 3, the remains of Jesse L. Barrett, who died at Burling ton. Kansas, on Nov. 30, was brought to Weeping Water for burial in Oak wood cemetery. Jesse was the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Barrett, who : moved from Cass county several years : ago to Burlington, Kansas. At the time of his death he was 27 years. 2 ! months and 2S days old. The cause of j his death was cancer of the liver, and Such Measure. William J. Bryan in his issue of the Commoner of last Friday, touching the subject of bank guaranty, says: It may be expected that all sorts of ingenious schemes will be put forth by bankers and their representatives to prevent the -passage-of a guaranteed deposits law by the Nebraska legisla ture. Realizing mat it will be impos sible to prevent some action on this line the enemies of guaranteed deposits propose a deferred payment plan Under this plan the depositors would not receive their money promptly. In deed, as proposed by some, they would not receive it until the assets of the bank were disposed of. This plan would destroy the very purpose of the guaranteed deposits system. It would not prevent bank runs because the de positor would be almost as much afraid of having his money tied up in a broken bank as he would of losing it entirely. It would not protect the commerce of a community for the reason that deferred payments would withhold, temporarily at least, the deposits from use in the business of the community. The pledge with respect to guaran teed deposits under which democratic members of the legislature were elected was well understood by the people and the Nebraska legislature may be de- ! pended upon to fulfill that pledge. The ! Nebraska democracy will eive to the people of this state a guaranteed de posits law that provides for immediate payment upon the depositors' demand. The bankers who oppose guaranteed deposits dominated the republican state convention and dedicated its platform. The issue before the people ways made plain and no one will be successful in an effort to distort -the issue, before the legislature.

Clyde Jones and Jesse Warga Come Near Beinp; Elec trocuted Thursday. Jesse Warea and Clyde Jones who are in the emnlov of the electric com pany met with an accident Thursday afternoon which came nearly costing them their lives. These young men were stringing a wire or repairing a break in the company e lines near Heisel's mill shortly after the hour of four. They did not know at the time that it was four o'clock, and that the current was turned on. Warga grasped the wire while there was about eleven hundred volts of current spinning through the circuit. He attempted to release his hold and ir.Jso doing threw the wire in to Clyde Jones' grasp and they both had hold of thejwirearid could't release themselves. The current was about to electrocute them, when realizing their serious plight, by a superhuman struggle each freed himself from the deadly wire. Young. Rishel was near and held an ax in his hand, but thought that his companions were merely jesting, in their efforts. He could have severed the wire as it lay on tbe ground but did not realize what was going on. It was lucky for the young men that they were not killed. in this state, came in from Omaha yes t rday to make a short visit with friends h re. and will go to Lincoln today. Mrs. Mahala P.

COLLIDES WITH AUTO Our Friend Rowe! and Wagon Loaded with Corn Collides With Auto. Our old friend Solomon Howe from the Iowa side was in the city Saturday and related a recent experience of his with some of city big bugs and" an auto mobile. Mr. Rowe was on the grade this side of Gleenwood with his mules and a wagon drawing a load of corn to market, doing his best to make an honest dollar, when he heard in the rear-the well known "honk" "honk" of an auto. He looked around and saw some dis tance Back a machine with two well dressed gentlemen coming for the' rear of his wagon at a good pace. He began to pull the "nigh" mule and got the Rev. E. L.

The machine surged ahead and raked the new paint and varnish from the side of their new auto in a scandalous manner. The men got quite warm at Mr. Rowe be cause the mules were not quicker, and "allowed" Mr. Rowe would pay dearly for his careless driving.

His brothers are Print of Chicago, and Charles d EJandinsville, III. The surviving sisters are Mrs William McCaully. of and Mrs, Joel Me?ermith of Have- ' lock. At the time of his death Mr. Latham was fifty five years of age. having been born in Huron County. Ohi in 1S33. For a number of year? he was a resident of Piattsmouth, where he was employed by the Burlington ar.ii worked in tbe plaining mill. Mr. I-athan removed to this city about fiften years ago. "Blocking" By Telephone. At a recent niectirg of the America:'. Railway association, in Chicago, the telephone was unanimously adopted a a standard fur train operation and "blocking." This means that with ", a short time the telecrrajh v. iii have given away entirely to the telephone for this sort of work. The action of the associati'V. at its Chicago meeting came sorr.ewhaM as a surprise, as it was not generally known that the joint committee : ir.teriock ing and block signals was n ady to make a strong recommendation fr this radical departure. It is under stood, however, that the action taken has the hearty approval of the com mittee appointed by the interstate commerce commission, pursuant t' an art of Congress requiring an investiga tion into signalling anil 0eration on American railways. This committee , together with the special committee of the association, made an exhaustive in vestigation into the telephone method of train operation.includir.g "block ing " Both committees visited despatching headquarters on various railroads which had been successfully operating train and ed. facility and accuracy of the service.
