The heaviest rain storm in years fell at Beatrice Saturday night. Throughout the ci'y cellars were flooded, sidewalks washed away and much destruction in all parts of the town. Jim Novak, a farm hand working for Frank Schleis, committed suicide on Turkey creek, three miles southwest of Wilber. Disuppointment in love is sus posed to be the cause. Two men m.med Ludwi?

An Alliance rally was held at Lexington Saturday afternoon and evening, at which speeches were made by C. D. Shra- der, the Independent leader in the last legislature, and C. H. Van Wyck. There was a fairly good turnout of farmers, and considerable enthusiasm was manifested. The Norfolk waterworks, which were sold upon execution at Omaha, were bid in by a local syndicate consisting of C, A. Mast, N. A. Rainbolt, R. A. Stewart, C. B. Burrows, Dr. A.

Several ladies belonging to the Wahoo Women's Christian Temperance Union created a sensation by making a tour of the streets and destroying the lithographs of a female variety troop. They objected to the thin attire of the damsels as repre sented in the lithographed pictures. The advance agent of the show demanded pay for the pictures, and the ladies promptly handed over 11.50, the amount asked. Considerable surprise and consternation was created at the First Baptist church at Omaha, Sunday morning, when after the sermon the entire board of deacons re signed their offices. The trouble was caused by an attack made upon the board bv a member, who charged them with shielding prominent members who had failed to live up to their "covenant of faith." The resignations will probably be refused. Labor Commissioner Andres received from the cen-ns bureau at Washington an official bulletin containing a summary of national, state and local indebtedness ks ascertained by the census taken in June, 1SSX.

Cyclone. Every week the newspapers record a cyclone someplace. ' Will it be our turn next? That is the question that we should ask ourselves now, and then act accordingly. The next question fur us to answer is, why is it our duty to insure? Because we have worked hard for many years to accumulate the wealth necessary to build a house, barn, and granary; to buy the live stock that we have, any and ail of which is liable to go at any time when a whirl wiud may strike it. And further all who have started at the bottom to make their money realize that the firtt five hundred dollars Is the hardest to make, and should he lose his buildings now it no doubt would give him a backset that would put him again at the foot of the ladder. Many of us are old and with a family on onr hands for maintenance, therefore we conclude that it is an imper ative duty to protect ourselves against the elements, and more especially when we can get our insurance at actual cost. By the way we might say right here that by actual cost we mean the amount of losses and expenses, the latter to be as economical as possible to get cood and efficient service out of those who are doing the work. Oi course stock companies insure at cost, but the stockholders SRy what that cost sbiill be. For instance last year the stockholders or thi Farmers' & Merchants had It cost policyholders of that company $160,298, and paid losses to the extent of $6,057, leaving a balance of $104,235. Home Fire stockholders made the cost $120,102; losses paid $36,683, leaving a balance of $83,419. Omaha Fire followed by taxing its policy holders $143,627, losses distributed $65,479, while the Com pany took possession of $77,848. The total received by these three Companies $423,729; total losses paid by them $158,229; leaving a total balance in the hands of the Companies to psy ex penses, fees, salaries, dividends (if any) and to add to the surplus, the snug little sum of $365,500, or $107,271 more than the Company paid for losses, and this the stockholders tell us Is business. From the above figures (which are from their sworn statements filed in Auditor's office) we find that the first Company paid to its polby holders about 35 per cent of amount collected. The second 30 per cent. The third 45 per cent. The average about 36 per cent, leaving 64 percent to pay expenses, which equals $265,500.' About $100,000 went to pay agents and the rest was used to run three offices, any one of which could be run for 15,000, thus leaving a balance of over $100,100 of money wasted. .The total amount of risks written during the year by thei-e three Companies was $25,306,294, for which they received $423,729.01, about one-half per cent. Be sides these three Stock Companies there wasone hundred fire Stock Comoanies that did business in this state last year that collected for premiums $1,386,307.28, aid for losses $716,502,14; and again the one hundred Companies have $669,803 48, to which if you add the surplus of the State Stock Companies, $265,500, you will see that these very generous Com panies have only charged you $935,304.84 more than they paid to the policy holders tor losses, which in a purely mutual Company could not reach .ny such an amount unless the losses should be more than the average of these one J.

No one is so helpless as the blind and more deserving of pity than the deaf. Many persons lose sight or hearing by neglect, which timely aid might prevent. Among the specialists who treat these organs none have been more successful than Dr. Dennis whose officeis is over the First National Bank Lincoln. Mr. C. SI. Marshall who has been in the employ -of the big furniture dealers, Gruetter & Co. was aeaf in one ear from which was a constant offensive discharge for twenty-five years.

Dech'i Plows State Lecturer Dec a frequent j use ths following illustration as an eye opener and it is a good me: Yon, Mr. Farmer, have sixteen dol lars, edicts issued by the government of the United States for the voiding of obligations of indebtedness commonly called money. I, a banker, have also sixteen of those receipts for labor per formed or wealth produced. Yon go to the implement dealer and purchase a plow for your sixteen dollars. I put my sixteen ri-jiiars into national bank stock. The com ptroller of the currency says I make sixteen and a fraction per cent. Statisticians tell ns that you make from three to no per cent, but to show you the superiority of mjr busi ness, 1 will allow you to have sixteen per cent earnings on yonr plow; that is we will allow that your plow will pro duce wealth enough to give ou that interest on your sixteen dollars. L of course, do not produce any wealth. I do my plowing through other men's pockets. At the end of say seven years your plow is worn out, but the rental or interest we wili say will buy a new plow. My plow is as bright and new as it was when I commenced, but I also have by the interest or rental been able to get a new plow. I now have two plows, you have one. In seven yer.rs more your plow is gone again, and you buy plow No. 3. . I buy plows So. Sand 4 with my interest. You have still one plow, I have four, thus when you have worn out your plows and your frame and your sons after you, I and my sons will have gangs of plows all bright and new ns they were when they cut the first furrow. Don't you think you had better stop fooling around with those alliance fellows and join the Bankers' association and whoop her up for the democratic and republican parties? . Wanted.

It will save the price of itself in a shert time. When parties dteire to buy one of these attachments for their own use, and there is no agent in that locality, I will fill orders from the factory at (5.00 each. 61'Icial Offer. In order to introduce these attachments in all parts of the coantrv this season, I have decided to make the following Special Offsr to parties who would like to t ecu re the ejroluslve agency for them in their neighborhood. The first man in each town ship who will send me an oider for two of the Taym)B Harrow Attachmknts and the reg ular price (S& OOeaob) with the order, I will give him the exclusive right to manufacture and sell all that he can in his own township from now until January 1. 1893; or if he will order four attachments and forward the regularprice ($5 00 each) with the order, I will give him an exclusive right until January 1, 1891. To parties who would rather not manufacture the attachments themselves, I will agree to furn if li them all that they can sell within the time for which thf y secure the exclusive agency at cost. Every enterprising man who takes ad vantags of this Special Ofkrr should be able to sell an average of one or more attachments to each section of land, which would yield a splendid profit. In case the territory asked for should be taken before your order is received, you will be given the next best territory in that locality. Two or more townships adjoining each other can be secured on the same terms if taken before the are secured by some other person.
