After a week of iutense suffering
Mary, the twenty-months-oM child of
l'rof. and Mrs. W. X. Halsey, quietly
breathed out it3 life at four o'clock
yesterday morning, of cerebral men
in-itis. During the last five hours of
its life the little one endured thirty
convulsions ana men it iecame so
tiuiet aud its pulse so low and indis
tinct that even its anxious parents
knew not when the last spark of life
lett its body. The sympathy of a large
rircle of friends of the sorrow iug par
ents goes out to them in their hour of
distress. The funeral will take place
from the Presbyterian church at two

The Fremont correspondent of the
Lincoln Journal says: "Sheriff Milli
ken attended the execution of Harry
Hill at I'lattsmouth last Friday, and
speaks of the remarkable nerve dis
played by Hill on that occasion. Sher

in ttie hanging line himself, having
executed Shephard and Furst in 1SU1.
Unless the courts or the governor in

The state senate has been making a
spectacle of itself by refusing to con
firm appointments made by Gov. Hol
comb. Xo matter what the pretext,
there is no good excuse for such arrant
nartisanshiD. The law makes the gov
ernor responsible lor the appointments
of superintendents or certain state in
stitutioni, and the senate has no right
to relieve tim from this responsibility,
which it now seems determined to do.
Jirnmie Axtell. a twelve-year-old boy
living at Faitbury, will probably die
as the result of a gun-shot wound re
ceived while out hunting rabbits in
the company of a playmate, in whose

charged. The unfortunate boy's right
shoulder was almost entirely shot
away.

The building of the bridge across
the I'latte north of this city by the It.
!t M. railway company lias suggested
the idea of the election of a wagon
bridge over that stream In-low the two
railway bridges. In talking of this
matter it was learned that .1. M. I'.it
terson, the county commissioner, was
in favor of the project. There is no
doubt but such a bridge w ould be a
creat public benefit, and while work
in general is slack it w ould be a good
time to have the work done. Titr:

Col. Iturton's excellent report of
yesterday's execution in his Junction
Recorder is somewhat marred by the
statement that "Hill's neck was not
broken aud he died from strangula

are more thankful than the uHicers
whose sad duty it was to conduct the
execution.

Father Xugent of the College Hill
church has consented to come to this
city and deliver a lecture under the
auspices of the local A. O. II . on St.

Gus lirandeen, the well-known Scan
danavian clerk, has accepted a posi
tion with Wescott & Son, the cloth
iers. A short time ago two young men
near Klk I'oint, this state, pre-empted
a piece of sandbar in the Missouri and
started to search for the hulk of an
old steamer that was sunk before the
war with a valuable cargo on board,
including one hundred barrels of whis
key and a large amount of farm ma
chinery. After some effort they have
located the vesnel and sunk a shaft to
it. They are clearing the hold and
will take the whisky out as soon as it
can bo reached. It Is the only part of
the cargo that Is expected to be of any
value. The steamer was one of the
best on the river in Its day and was
scuttled when on Ore. The river chan
nel changed before it could be raised,
and tho boat was left buried deep in
the bar.

Three men met on the street yester
terday. One was Dr. A. Mathews,
another waa a farmer redding in the
western part of the county, Lyman
James by name, and the third shall be
nameless here. "Do you know where
this man and I Weame acquainted V"
asked Mr. James of Dr. M. Tho lat
ter was ignorant on that point. "I'll
tell you," went on the farmer. "In
the fall of 1S-j7 he and I dug potatoes,
picked apples and pulled osage orange
plants together for old Drury Overton,
near Kncxville, Iowa. He was a boy
about 1" years old ond I a little older.
We separated then to meet again two
or three years ago in this town. Both
were getting gray and mature in
years." Turning to the third member
of the trio Dr. Matthews said: "Do

peculiar circumstances. It was in the
middle of the Flatte river, swimming
a horse, away out near Ft. Sedgewick,
while 500 men were looking on, help

when he mounted his horse from the
bank which I was endeavoring to
teach, plunged into the racing current
aud came to my rescue. Swlmminp
along Hide of my exhausted horse,
which was already going In n circle,
he stuck out one foot and told mo to
take hold of it and slide off my horse.
I couldn't swim a lick, and my chance
for life was very slim, but I grasped
the proffered foot, let go my horse ami
in that awful current was pulled
along toward shore. Finding that
with his weight on the horse's back
he could not make the bank he slipped
back and grasped the animal's tail
and thus we all reached the shore.

To our Friends and Patrons:
After due consideration we have
decided to adopt the
Cash
and on and after JAN. 1, 1895,
we will do no more crediting, ex
cept to those whose names are
now on our books and are very
prompt in meeting accounts.
We haY&Sne crej business
for nearly f if teerfy ears and have
profitted but little thereby, the
most of our earnings being on
our books or lost by uncollected
accounts.
By selling for CASH we CAN and
WILL give our patrons the ben
efit of our gains and the advant
ages derived from getting spot
cash by selling them goods
At Redueed Prices.
Of course we shall continue to
exchange goods for country pro
duce. Come in, get our prices
and see how far a dollar will go
these hard times.
