Al tliough the Northwestern is mailed regularly to their address, for some reason they have not been getting the paper of late, lienee their allusion in regard to the same in their letter. I>ear Friend Burleigh: As we are not getting the Northwestern any T-ore w e think our time subscribed for l as run cut. but don’t remember ;ust when, so will enclose *2 in money order and want the paper sent, and w hen the time expires plea^ notify ’ us. unless we advise otherwise. We miss Uie paper so touch. We missed n* oaper. the.* got tl e issue of Sept. I h. but have not received any since and are lost without it. We want to keep in touch with our LoupCity and M erman count) friends, and get more news of the town and county than | w e can by letters. •We have launched our boat m ' Ventura bj the sea and expect to -tay a white, though we cannot tell : just how long. We are getting along ■ ne. are both v eil and doing well. We like it here very much. The • :...»te has been lovely, while work and money seem to be plenty. Lots of building arid business pushing all the time. Lean tore: ling is the order of the day. A Mr. Charley Simpson, j a near neighbor, lias just finished threshing his crop. He had 1100 sacks and they get 5% cents per : pound, and had in 3» acres. “A great many buildings are going up and lots of building going on all toe time. A fine new school building | was completed last spring, costing -Cl •«> to A new court bouse is being erected to cost #225.000. A new cement bridge across the Ventura river at the west side of town is go ng up. to cost *50,i*W to *W.0"0. We | have twelve miles of pa- ed streets and the entire town is lighted by electricty. There are three big lumber yards, all doing a rushing business: four very large warehouses, and you should see the fruit, beans and Knglish walnuts going into them. We have a fine wharf and every few days come big boats loaded with lumber from the north, and that product is much chea^mr here than in Nebraska. We ha*, 'our very large school buddings: pci naps ten churt'» buildings: big city oakery, and 1 don’t know bow many dry gooc=, grocery and general stores: two slv v stores, three or four hardwares, thr i furniture, basket store, packin , bouse, marble shop, four monst r hotels and restaurants, and boarding bouses galore, all seeming to do a thriving business. “I will give you a view of our markets: Alfalfa. $20 per ton: oats hay. $16 to $18 per ton: bean straw/ $5 per ton: apples$1 per box: peaches. $1.50: prunes. $1.75: potatoes, $1 per sack: sweet potatoes, 4c per pound; eggs, 45c per dozen: butter, 45c per pound, or two pounds for 85c: sugar $6.25 per hundred pounds, etc.* “We can go out now and pick ripe strawberries and blackberries, and nearly everybody is putting in winter gardens. Lots of late potatoes-plant ed some three weeks ago. People here leave their apples out of doors all winter, seeming to me a crazy idea, but they laugh at me. “As I think this enough to fill your waste basket, I will close by saying we are both well and hearty, and send ing best regards to all our friends back home.” Their present address in full is 720 V Avenue, Ventura.

Abney Kills Himself Slated far the Asylum for Inebriacy Quietly Takes a Drink of Ceadly Poison For years A. G. Abney, a farmer living near North I.oup, has been ad dicted to the use of intoxicants to excess. Indeed so had had lie became that ke had squandered much of his property and steps had been taken to appoint a guardian for him. A few months ago he was sent to the asylum at Lincoln for treatment and in due time came home and kept away from the saloons. But last Sat urday he went to Scotia where he filled up again on liquor and came, home drunk and. as usual, abusive to liis family and to others. On the streets of North Loup he became abusive and was pounded up by some irate victim of his tongue. Monday he was arrested and taken to Ord for trial on a charge of inebriacy. which resulted in his being again committed to tlie asylum. The authorities here told him that he must go back toLincoln as a state’s charge or. if he preferred, he could go to Omaha at his own expense. He chose the former plan and seemea to agree fully with the purpose of the officers. ne was sept nere in surveillance till Monday. He agreed to go back and said there would be no need if sending for witnesses. He seemed to be so agreeable to the plan of going back to the asylum that the authori ties allowed him.mucli liberty. Tues day afternoon he was permitted to go back to North Loup to change his clothes and get ready for the trip. Before doing so he phoned to some ne to meet him as he came down on the motor This g; ve his wife knowledge of the return of the man and word came back to the sheriff that he better come at once and get the man as his wife was afraid of him. Abney had already gone so the sher iff got his car out and. accompanied by Marshal VanTuyl, went at one; to the Abney home. Abney was in the house quietly reading when the sheriff came up. When informed of the purpose of the officers lie readily assented to coming back. But first tookastrol! out to the barn accompan ed by the men and then back to the automobile. With his grip and other effects stow ed in the machine he got I in and then apparently remembered that L. had some cigars but no match es he remarked that he would get so ie matchesand walked quietly into the honse. In a moment he returned, but as he came to the car he showed signs of being sick and replied that he was. Theyhelped him into the car and then lie became almost unconscious. He was taken to the house and in a fetf moments was dead, before a doctor could be summoned. In his coat pocket was a small bot tle labeled carbolic acid. He had on going back to the house, taken the water dipper with some water and pouring the poison into it, drank the mixture. This was what the man had threat ened to do. but his ready compliance with the will of the law, had led peo ple to think that he would not do it. Now that he has killed himself it is fair to presume that he intended also to carry out another and graver threat, which he frequently made, of killing his wife before taking poison. Since the property had be en placed in his wife's name he lias frequently threatened to kill her doubtlessly that was one reason why he had re turned to his home. Fortunately, however, before he had carried out this part of the program, the officers came and this part of the tragedy was therefore averted. People who know Mrs. Abney speak in the highest terms of her. and many have solicitous for her welfare since the husband lias been making these threats. While all regret the terrible death of the man, we cannot but rejoice, if this end must be. that it came with out taking also the life of an inno cent person. The funeral was held yesterday ! from tlie.farm.—Ord Quiz.
