The New Pickett Building Sold.
The new store building just being
completed on south Sixth street has
been sold by W. L. Fickett to the firm
of Zuckweiler & Lutz. This property
has had a rather eventful history in
change of owners in the last few
months. Early in the spring C. C.
Farmele commenced the work of clear
ing the ground for the erection of a
building containing three store rooms,
and when the work of tearing down
the old Cottage house, which occupied
i i a I ,1 Yl T
me iota, was uuoul uan uuuc .!-..
Pickett happened along and made a
deal with Mr. Farmele where by he be
came possessor of the site. Later on
he sold the south twenty-two feet of
the ground to August Bach, who in
tended to join Mr. Pickettn putting
up a building. Bach, however post
poned his part of the building, and
Pickett went ahead and put up the
present building.Messrs. Zuckweiler
& Lutz, concluded that the new. build
ing was just suited to their needs, and
after considerable "dickering" closed
the deal for the purchase of the same,
and it is now being remodeled some
what for their purpose. The location
is one of the best in town, and the
new owners will doubtless find their
purchase to be a wise investment.

An official of the revenue depart

Wednesday, investigating the matter
of illegal handling of liquor and other
such truck as might be subject to
government tax. He appeared to te
much interested in the customs or the
"Sunflower Club" and other similar
organizations, but so far as we have
been able to learn the information he
got wouldn't make a book of very great

Will Prospect for Coal.
The people of Nebraska City do not
propose to overlook any of their ad
vantages as a manufacturing point,
and a company is being formed to
prospect for coal. It is proposed to
sink a test well l,fj00 or 2.000 feet, and
ascertain exactly what is in the earth
below them, with hopes of finding a
vein of coal sufficiently thick to be
profitably mined.
With coal mines in operation all
around us in adjacent states, it is
certainly a queer freak of nature if
Nebraska lias been overlooked entirely
in the matter of a coal supply, and it
is tiie general opinion of those who are
posted on such matters that coal exists
in Nebraska in various places, but at
a great depth.
The result of the operations at Ne
braska City will be awaited with in
terest by people in adjoining counties,
and should they be so fortunate as to
find coal there, some prospecting will
undoubtedly be done in this county,
where coal indications are known to
exist at several places.

The Platte River Canal.
Another move was made in the
' project of buildinga water power canal
on the Tlatte river above this city
; on Friday last, when J. E. Riley filed
j an application with Secretary Adna
Dobson of the state board of irrigation
: and power purposes. The capital sttn k
of the company which is to carry on
the work of construction is 1,."i00,000,
and it is assumed that the primary
purpose of the scheme will be to fur
nish power to the city of riattsmouth
and secondarily for irrigation purposes.
According to the plans which have
been set forth in the application from
Mr. Riley, a canal is to be constructed
from a point on the Platte river be
tween three and four miles east of
Ashland, running parallel with and
within a mile of the river for a distance
of twenty-one miles. At a point near
La Platte a large reservoir covering
approximately two sections of land,
will be constructed. A large dam will
be constructed to head off the water.
An outlet to this will be run into
Buffalo creek and thence back into the
Platte. Work on the mammoth project
is to begin not later than May 1, 1904.
Plans for the canal were drawn by
Civil Engineer William J. McEathron,
of Omaha. The course permits a fall
of seventy -six feet and 1,250 cubic feet
of water is required every second for
carrying on the work which will be
done. The capacity of the plant will
be 1G,000 horse power during ten hours
and 4,250 horse power during the other
fourteen hours of the day, which will
include the night. It is stated in the
application that the scheme will not
interfere with the Omaha canal pro
ject, which will be constructed farther
up the river.

Echoes of the Election.
The democrats elected only one as
sessor in riattsmouth in the fifth
ward, where John Sharp was elected
over E. S. Barker by a majority of 12.
C. E. Witherow defeated Col. Jim
Thrasher in the first by 20 majority,
and in the second the erstwhile in
vincible Ed Ruffner met defeat again
at the hands of Wm. Weber by "4
majority. C. S. Twiss defeated John
Corey in the third, and in the fourth
Jack Denson defeated Hugh Roberts
by one majority.
Some of the candidates do not exact
ly relish the bitterness of defeat, but
they might just as well smile and look
pleasant, because it cannot be helped.
Somebody had to be beaten in the race.
Spurlock's majority in Otoe county
is reported at 403, which gives him a
majority over Farmele of 1049 in the
two counties.
The populist ticket received less
than a hundred votes and that party
will cease to be a factor in the race
hereafter. Most of the voters who
formerly affiliated with the populists
have returned to either the republicans
or democrats, and now a few mid
roaders are all that is left.
The prohibition ticket was snowed
under as usual, but they will probably
bj on hand again next year with a
full ticket.

The B. & M. fast mail east Iw.und.
struck a team owned hy Simon Rod
away on the crossing near Jackman's
mill Friday afternoon. Rodaway liad
been hauling corn to the elevator and
had just unloaded his wagon and was
driving back up town. A string of
box cars stood on either side of the
crossing and Rodaway did not see the
approaching train until the front feet
of his team was on the track. Then
the train was practically mm him.
He stopped just in time to save his
own life, but in an instant more the
engine struck the horses mangling
them in a horrible manner. Luckily
for him the wagon tongue was broken
off and the wagon was not overturned,
an incident to which Mr. Rodaway
owes his life. The team was valued

The coroner's jury in the case of
Mrs. Maggie Linsley, who was shot
and killed by John McCormit k, a plas
terer, shortly after midnight Tuesday
morning, returned a verdict on Wed
nesday afternoon that she came to her
death from a pistol wound Inflicted by
McCormick with felonious and malic
ious intent. The ball entered the left
cheek and found l(dgment in her
brain, causing almost instant death.
After' McCormick realized what he
had done, he attempted to commit
suicide by shooting himself in the
head. The ball struck the skull and
burrowed its way along for about two
inches, and was taken out just under
the scalp. He is not seriously wounded
and will have his hearing as soon as he
is able to be out. He and the woman,
who had been the keeper or a bagnio
for several years, until recently had
been intimate, and the shooting wan
the result of jealousy.
