m AN LlOHTXrSO
In Lancaster county I bare seen men
that say that another Company has
agents in the field who claim that their
Co. is the only mutual Co. In the state.
Bat the State Auditor ssys that eight
teen have been incorporated since last
August. The Co. referred to asks a
membership lee of one per cent and 13
which nnder ordinary circumstances
would be all that would be netted for
ore years insurance. Therefore beware
of any who is canvassing for mutual in
surance In this county, if they ask such
fees, and what Is true In this county is
no doubt true throughout the state.
; We do not want to write advcrtls
ments for any other Co. than those
with which we are connected, but when
men tell us that they thought they were
insured in the Lancaster Cohnty Co.,
and were called upon to pay several
times the amount for membership that
we ask, we see our path of duty mapped
out, i. , we must give a warning voice.
Further, the Lancaster County Co.
bas only one legal agent, and that is the
editor of this department.
If you want to see us drop a card, giv
ing section, township and range, or call
on us in room 6, Alliance building, Lin
ooln, Neb., on any Saturday.
Hail.
Long before we concluded to submit
any plan for insuring a gainst ball many
letters came to this department asking for
hail insurance and since our first article
on the subject we have received soma
cards but have now less than 6000 acres
promUed. Now reader If you want to
insure against hail read the Insurance
Department of March 81st and April
after which you should ask your neigh
bor to Insure, but tho initiatory stops are
to notify us at onie how many acres you
will Insure. You will see that there
are no agents to be paid but every one
who wants Insurance should be an agent,
and Induce his neighbor to become a
member.
Remember that now is the time to nake
your wishes known by sending the editor
of this department a postal card stating
the number of acres you want to In
sure. We will not print any contract) until
we have nearly 100,000 acres promlwd
therefore If you are very anxious for
ball Insurance you will talk to your
neighbor about It immediately, because
if we are not likely to get 100,000 acres
you will not get your insurance. '
The contracts will call for a pledge of
ten cents r acre for the amount of
acres Insured, will tell kind of grain aud
locate the same, made payable November
1st but only such part of this ten cents per
acre will be collected as will be necessary
to yay all losses and expenses.
At the time of making of contract each
member will send 50 cents to the secretary
ai a membership fee to pay running ex
pense All losses will be adjusted at
harvest time and paid December 1st.

sured against ball It is their own fault, we

THREE THOUSAND HOMELESS.
8lx Hundred Families Driven from Their
Residence, at Lincoln.
Lin-ooln, Neb., May 10. In that por
tion of the city which is known as the
bottoms, where S.OOO people dwell, it is
estimated that c.00 families have been
driven from their homes and are shelt
ered in the park at the First and K
straet school buildings. The Universal
ist church has many people quartered
tliPM. Many, however, are liound to
suffer terribly from exjwsnre. Just
before noon three residents of the bot
toms appealed to the city authorities for
aid in removing their property to places
of safety. The patrol wagon, the street
commissioner and Health Officer Bar
tram worked manfully and all the peo
ple were safely removed. In the after
noon the water rose more rapidly and
the city is now surrounded on the north
by a sea that is lashed to a foam bv a
stiff northwest breeze. The A street
and t) street bruises are liable to go out
as the water rises higher. The bridge
across the Antelope at Twenty-fourth
and Randolph streets went out. The
Lincoln park and other small dams in
the vicinity of the city have been wett
away. The wagon bridges that spanned
them were also washed out.
The chief sufferers will be the rail
roads. The Missiouri Pacific track to
the packing house is badly wrecked and
no trains have run that way since fore
noon. The Burlington and Missouri tracks
in the switch yard are above water, but a
few hours more of rising water at the
E resent rate will submerge them. Tho
incoln tannery, the bottiing works and
Henry Coatsworth s lumber yards ar3
all under water.

The Eye and Ear
Are two moat delicate and complicat
ed organs; without the eye we could
not guide our footsteps nor observe
the beauties of nature; without the ear
we could not hear the voices of our
friends nor enjoy the sweet sounds of
music. No one is so helpless as the
blind and more deserving of pity than
the deaf. Many persons lose sight -r
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. M. Marshall who has
been in the employ of the big furniture
dealers, Gruetter & Co. was deaf in one
ear from which was a constant offensive
discbarge for twenty-five years. The
Dr. cured it entirely in one month. Mr.
Willis Short, Clerk in the Mo. Pacific
R. R. offices, Mr. George Carter, com
mission merchant, Mrs. Edward
Grouse, wife of a steam titter with Pom
erine & Cooper, Mrs. Chas. Hook, tire
man on B.&M., Mr, T. E. Slatterly,
guard at the penitentiary, and dozens of
other well known Lincoln citizens have
been cured after other specialists had
failed. Dr. Dennis' is a graduate of Rush
Medical College, Chicago, the Post
Graduate Medical College, N. Y. City
and the Polyclinic Hospital, N Y. City.

Steel Harvesters and Mowers.
When D. M fsborne built the first all steel Harvester and Binder in 1885 it
marked a new departure that left all our competitors far in the. rear. They have
all complimenicd us bj imitation.
The New Osborne placed upon the market this year is !lso a lone stride in
advance that place us at the head and proclaims ns the leaders in all that per
tains to cutting and binding grain.
THE NEW OSBOENE
IS THE
Lightest Strongest and Simplest Machine Made.
V,il
WHY?
BECAUSE its frame is'all made of angle steel and put together with steel
bolts. No round or squarejiron pipe about it.
BECAUSE it has the steepest deck, thus insuring a quick delivery to the
packers, and avoidiDg all trouble from
BECAUSE it has the widest drive wheel, being over 10 inches on the face,
thus avoiding all danger of sliding in dry or sinking in wet weather.
BECAUSE you don't have to elevate the grain so high.
BECAUSE all its parts are steel and malleable iron, thus insuring four times
the strength at half the weight of cast'
iron.
BECAUSE its chain drive, front cut and straight pitman apply their power
direct. No lost motion-
BECAUSE, it is the easiest adjusted, easiest bandied, and best built machine
on earth. Don't boy a machine until you have seen the New Osborne. Two
horses can handle it. Its use on a farm is proof of an intelligent farmer.
Osborne N?4.
No. 4 MOWER.
The Number Four Mowers; 4, 5 and 6 feet cut stands at the head of the list.
Ask any one of its hundred thousand users and the same reply will be made. "It
is good enough for me."
AN ALL STEEL RAKE can only be bought of an Osborne agent. Farmers,
the beat is none too good for you.
WE ARE NOW lighting the Harrow trust on your behalf.
