Ernst Hchwer, Jeweler of this city
died at the Hospital in Grand Island last
Sunday December lii, 189# at 5;80 p. m,
after a short but painful sickness. Ago
40 year*.
The news of Mr. Schwer's death was
indeed a surprise to the citizens of Loup
City. Only Isst week. Tuesday he loft
here for medical treatment at the hos
pital in Grand Island. Up to thg time
of his going away he wa* able to be
around and attend to business, and
people generally supposed him to be in
usual good health, although we learn
that he his been complaining at times
during the post two months. On the
morning of his departure It Is said by
parties who saw him at the train that
lie was very sick, and that he said he
would never be able to return to Loup
City again. There was not much weight
given to hi* expressions, however, as
an 11.1 m any nu|>puscu mill HO WOUIU
begin to recover as soon as placed un
der the physician's care. But hegradu
ly grew worse and on Saturday after
noon his wife was telegraphed for. She
started Sunday tuornmg for Kavelina
where she took the train for Giund
Island and arrived about two hours be
fore his death
Mr Schwer was born In 1S5T at Kel
chenberg, Sort lien Bohemia. He came
to Loup City in 1800 anJ has since re
sided here. Prior to his coming here
he resided in tirand Island where lie
married his present wife Mis* Hora

FOOD FOR THE CATS. 1
c
EuglUli Hjmrrowft lliivn to Fight For Tin Ir r
Live* lu Isomlon. <
If l<;ffc to biniHoJf, tho London Hparrow t
would probably multiply exceedingly, r
for there is enough waste from every a
human household to keep at least oua 1
pair of sparrows. That would give somo- i
thing like 1,COO,000 sparrows to tho
area of greater London. liut these fig* •
ares do not represent actual facts. The J
sparrow population is rigoronsly kept c
down, not by want of fecundity—for at j
tho zoo, for instance, where food and
shelter abound, tho birds seem to breed
at all seasons of the year—but by the
operation of tho natural enemy, that %
greut fact in all wild life, which even
tho progressive London sparrow cannot v
avoid. Tlie natural enemy in this cuse ^
is tho Loudon cat If any one will count
np the number of bouses in his or her j
knowledge which do not possess a cat, e
the numbers and ubiquity of the natural r
enemy will become apparent Poor
people koop moro cuts than rich people, |
so tho small houses abound in cats.
Rich fol.sk’ cats which huve largo c
houses, us a rule, only catch the spar- e
rows on their own estate, but poor oats a
have to pouch at large, and their ravages
amofig the young sparrows are prodi
gious. It has been observed that a spar- a
row killing cat bags on an averago two J
young birds u day. No amount of cor- \
rection seems to prevent their indnl- f
genco in this form of sport They know p
it is wroiig, but it is too fascinating. 0
One young out of the writer’s acquaint- 0
mice want into a fit after a mild beating a,
for killing young spurrows, and as soon c
as ho recovered went off to catoh an- u
other. A cat in the same house which B
was surprised with two naked nestlings a
in its mouth slipped them underneath a
mat on the stairs when it saw its mis- q
tress approaching. Nature is too strong a
for them, and the drawing room pussy
seems no moro able to resist the tustu fa
for sport than the stable cat.—London fa
Spectator. n
SpanUh Inefflrlencj.
Spanish inefficiency lias been shown B'
np in a ludicrous wuy by tho recent self
flouting of tho uuw cruiser Princesa de
Asturias at Cudiz. The vessel, which it .
hail tuken seven years to build, got stuck
iu the mud when they tried to lanuch j *
her over u month ago. After trying their 81
best to float her without success for 30 j ?
days the Spanish engineers gave up tho 11
job, adopting the usual Micnwtor policy | *
of Spain of waiting for something to i ’
turn np. They were justified by tho i
cruiser’s slipping into tho water of her ,
own accord one afternoon when no ouo ;

The lawyer had won an iniportant
ca»o for the man. He had dabbled iu
•locks of one kind and another, anil,
hard lack having overtaken him, he hod
bolstered np his vanishing fortune* with
$50,000 of other people's money.
But the other people bad troubles of
their own. They had wants that needed
catering to, and win n they found that
the dealer in stts-k* had invested their
means of subsistence in uu enterprise
that would benefit no one hut himself
they arose with a howl of righteous in
dignation and brought a suit for dam
age*.
Tliut was where the lawyer hail his
sbance. • He knew the man was guilty,
ind he told him so. But for all tliut he
jleured him. He charged a pretty big
Fee, $11,000 being a conservative estimate
if tiie value nt hi* service*. The man
[laid him $4,500 in cash and promised
/O give him the other $500 u mouth or
wo later. Thut wus more than three
rears ago. The lawyer patiently waited
m his client for a year, and then he put
he matter in the hands of a collector.
In the course of two years the collector
fathered in $400, and then, us his salary
vu* more than eating up the amount
lolleeted, the lawyer took the ease from
its hands and gave it to the office hoy.
k* an Incentive to energetic work, lie
aid:
“Jimmie, there is $100 coming to mo
torn Mr.-. If you can get uuything
mt of him, I'll give you half of it."
Jimmie's eyes snapped, and he went

uonths. Monday morning at 11 o'clock
iu would go into tho office and present

.Jimmie kept up the daily siege till
ast Thursday. Then he was sick and
ould not come down town. About 2
’clock tho lawyer was in his privato
iffloe holding a consultation with two
lients, when there canut an imperative
iit a ia-tut on iiis door, lie bade the
