.the nniiNTV vmm '1UU X i UUUUi Commercial Bank of Louisville Gets the County's Cash. INCREASED RATES OF INTEREST The New Contract Shuts Off Litigation, in Ad ditto u to Indenting the Interest Earnings on the Various Funds Other Notes. The letting of tbe county funds to the bunk or corporation offering the highest rate of interest was taken up by County Treasurer Hickhoff Mon day afternoon, and resulted in the funds being awarded to the Commer cial bank of Louisville, at au annual rate of 4.55 per cent for all funds, with the contract to extend throughout a period of two years. The bids offered by the several batiks, were as follows: liank of Commerce, Louisville 4 55 Hank of Cass County, I'lattsuioutli .4 25 First National, Plattsmouth 3.50 Citizens', Plattsmouth 3.00 Exchanee. Elmwood 4.00 State, Elmwood 4 .(H) First National, G -eenwood 4.50 First National, Weeping Water. . .4.00 During the past two years the First National of Greenwood has had pos session ot the county funds, at the same rate which the bank asked for a renewal as noted in the above list of bids. The amount of interest paid to the county on the funds for the same period was $5 .702.05. but of that sum over $2,000 was paid by the Greenwood bank under protest, and a suit is now pending in the courts between the county and the bank in regard to the matter, the difficulty arising over the claim tnaite 1-y the bank people that it was exempt from paying iuterests on certain funds. Under the contract with the new depository, the Commercial of Louisville, it is specifically understood that 4.55 per cent, shall be paid on all funds de posited by the county. The sew con tract is thus more advantageous to the county than the one in force for the f.st two years, as the interest rate is larger and as there is no existing pos sibility of the county being forced to collect the interest in the courts. The Commissioners' Estimate. The county mmissioners this morn ing completed their estimate of the funds needed to operate the county government dnring the current year. The estimate in detail is as follows: Court expends $10,000 County cnmmisMoners" salary. 2,."00 Asessina eounty and making return- 3,000 Salary county superintendent.. 1,200 Printing tax list for -!U W0 Hooks, blanks, printing and stationery.. 3.500 Election expenses l.tr Fuel for court house. ioor house and Jail. 1.400 Jail expense and jailor" fees 2,0(0 Agricultural society SOO County clerk's salary 4' JO Incidental expense?- 5.0C0 County attorney's talary and expenses . . 1.200 Bridging 14,000 i;oad work lu.OOO Soldiers relief fund l.l!00 Court house bonds H.ouo Total 2.TO0 The above estimate is $S00 less than in "93 and some 830,000 lower than the estimate of '92. Juntire Must be Done. The Elmwood Echo grows foolishly sentimental and publishes the follow ing: "How sad the awful fate of the murderer; to think of it almost wins the sympathy of even the stoutest heart. And yet it is law that the mur derer must die and give up his own life, not that the one he has taken iaiht be restored, but that public sentiment might be appeased. On the 13th day of April another life will have been tatsen, and that, too. by the hand that cannot give. The scripture says no murderer can enter the kingdom of Heaven. Is the hangsman that pulls the trap from beneath Harry Hill a murderer? Are the jurors who con victed him murderers? Who dare say? God alone gave this life; who dare take it? Because Harry Hill murdered Matthias Akeson.and thus jeapordized his own soul, was that a justifiable cause for others to blot out a life which they cannot give? Will they be held accountable? These ideas are ad vanced by serious meditation and simply given as food for thought. v Dr. Wallace has in hia possession a silver dollar of very peculiar shape, and we doubt if there is anotherof the same hind in the world. The peculiarity about the coin is the defective milling and the fact that one with such defect should escape detection at the hands of the inspectors in the mint. About ore-half tbe thickness of the edge of the coin is milled ull the way round while the other half bears no marks of tbe milling machine. Considering the fact that the silver coins pass the in spection of numerous employes in the mint it is singular that this one should be sent out on its debt-paying mission bearing the mirk that would brand it as bad coin in case of detection. Mr. Wallace thinks he has the only one of its kind and would not part with it for ten timeB its face value. Union Led ger. F. G.

Loder of Greenwood was in the city Monday. Mrs. Frank Moore of the precinct departed Saturday over the E. & M. to visit with relatives in Kansas. James Unruh. the eight-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Unruh, died at 1 :30 o'clock Saturday .of spinal fever. The funeral services were held from the family residence at two o'clock Monday afternoon. The U. P. fast mail flyer met with a smash-up at Claiks, Merrick county, Sunday, in which the rear-end sleeper was burned. Five passengers were in jured, but none seriously. A broken rail was the cause of the wreck. Attorney llalueman of Weeping Water, while assisting to extinguish the recent fire at that town, cut hit arm on a piece or window glass, sev ering the radial artery. Prompt medical attention save him from bleed ing to death. Lydia Martin, a Nebraska "ity girl, while attending revival services at the Evangelical church Thursday evening, became prostrated by religious en thusiasm and is now a raving maniac. She is very violent and it requires the combined strength of several persons to hold her. Charley Breaks of Weeping Water met with a painful accident Monday evening while cutting wood. His axe caught on a clothes line stretched over head, aud the tool turned in such a way that Mr. Breaks received an ugly gash an inch aud a half in length, which laid the bone bare just over the left eye. Attorney Frank Wiles has returned from Rising City. Butler county, where he has been busied for the past three months in attending to the legal bus iness of a llising City lawyer, who was absent on a prolonged visit. Frank is searching about for a location, but will temporarily reside with his parents in this city. The Jackson club ui Omaha cele brated Jackson day at the Paxton ho tel Monday night in a banquet and tbe affair is said to have been a grand suc cess. U. S. Marshal Frank White, Hon. J. M. Patterson -md Lawyer Matthew Gering of this city were pres ent as guests of the Jacksonians of Omaha. Thomas Akeson, who was made part defendant in the case brought to re cover the $300 reward paid for the capture of his father's murderers, asks that the case be dismissed as far as he is concerned on the ground that he has already paid the amount and ;anuot be made to pay it over again .no matter who finally gets it. Lincoln Journal. Only one newspaper man is in heaven. How he got there is not posi tively known, but it is conjectured that he passed himself off as a mormon and stepped in unsuspected. When the dodge was discovered they searched the realms of felicity in ali their length and breadth for a lawyer to draw the papers for his ejectment, but they could not find one. so he held the fort. The postutlice case remains in statue quo. or words to that effect. Unin formed people call at White's store and the district clerk's ofiice daily to inquire for their mail, but the repub lican appointee continues to do busi ness at the old stand. While the two avowed candidates for appointment and their friends are doing some tall hustling several dark horses are being quietly groomed to enter the race. In the trial of the celebrated Irvine divorce suit at Salt Lake City, Utah, the presiding judge has entered an order awarding Mrs. Irvine 830,000 alimony, to be paid in three install ments at three, six and nine months from date. She is also awarded 83.000 as attorney fees, to be paid in twenty days, and Irvine is to pay all costs, in cluding her witnesses, which alone amounts to over $1,000 for mileage and attendance. IrviDe will file a motion for a new trial, which will undoubtedly be overruled, and an appeal taken. Eflie Mason and Irene Williams, a pair of Plattsmouth misses whose character is commonly reported as not being above absolute reproach, have deserted their respective firesides in this city and lelf for unknown parts. They took their departure last week, and the last seen of them was on Thursday when they boarded a train at Pacific Junction bound tor Council Bluffs. The Ftep-father of the Wil liams girl, J. A. White, was in Council Bluffs and Omaha Monday in search of the missing girls, but could find no trace of their whereabouts. If you want something nice, lovely and sweet go to Meisinger & liOhman.
