DEATH ON THE RAIL.
JarretCox looses His Life on the
Railway Croesinjr near Amboy.
Last Saturday morning word reach
ed this city that a man had been killed
by the cars near Amboy. Dr. R. R.
Snerer, coroner being notified started
at once for the f-cene of the accident.
Through the doctor's courtesy a rep
resentative of The Chief accompanied
him. The accident occurred at the
cros-ing '1 miles north of Amboy in
front of the residence of C. C. Cox. A
jury was empanneled and the follow
ing particulars elicited. Jarret Cox,
the unfortunate victim, came to Web
ster county from Illinois something
over a year ago with his wife, a por
tion of" the time the aged couple have
lived with their son near Wells, but
since New Years have made their
honio in the family of their nephew,
Mr C C Cox, intending to move to
Wells again a soon as the house their
son was building for them was com
pleted. On the morning of the accident
Mr Cox arose from the breakfast table
and started to go to the house of Mr.
Post where his wife hud been visiting
for a few davs. but in attempting to
cross the railroad track he was struck
by the south bound passenger trai n
and instantly killed. Both legs and
both arms were broken and tiie body
carried over four rail lengths from the
crohsing on which it was struck. The
train So 3, in charge of Conductor
Granger Jand Engineer Wilson, was
stopped soon as possible and backed
to the enwfeing. The train men car
ried the body of tue unfortunate man
into the house of his nephew who was
the only eye witness to the terrible
catastrophe except the train men. The
jury rendered a verdict of accidental
death. We are indebted to Rev C W.
Springer, who preached Mr. Cox's
funeral sermon, for the following
particulars: Mr Cox was born near
Zaneriville, Ohio, August 21, 1S17, and
was G7 years. 8 months and 18 days
old at the time ol his death. He was
prepared for the change, liaving lived
a consistent Christian life for over
twenty years, being a faithful follower
of his'Divina Master, trusting in Christ
as his surety for a home beyond the
dark river. He had been a member
of the United Brethren church for
many years. His remains were taken
taken ;o Cloverton near the home of
his son Almon, last Sunday, followed
by a large number of his friends from
between Amboy and Cowles. Here a
much larger company awaited their
coming, and at two o'clock Sunday a
ternoon a brief funeral service was
held, after which he was borne to the
cemetery followed by a long line of
relatives and friend His aged com
panion and two sons will
miss him, but their loss is his gain.
"Pre3ious in the sight of the Lord is
the death of his saints."

gentleman has been given to matrimo

to Nebraska expects to be accompanied
by a life "pardner."
The general opinion is that the mus
ical entertainment at the Baptist
church Thursday evening was the best
in its order ever given to the public in
Red Cloud. Little Lillie Smith played
an orgau medley very nicely and re
ceived applause.. The quartet singing
was excellent; solo sunf by Miss Gertie
Drakefield was well received: Mr
Schindlemeisser, at the piano, showed
himself master of the situation and
called forth loud applause, as also did
Mrs Wood. Piano solos by Misses
Hawkins, Skcen. and Brown were
good. All credit is due the performers
These entertainments are elevating in
their influence. May they continue.
Ox last Wednesday evening the in
corporators of the Red Cloud Home
stead, Building and Loan Association
met in John Kellogg's office, and pro
ceeded to adopt the by-laws that will
govern the future actions of the asso
ciation. The books were opened and
250 shares of the capital stock were
subscribed. After which the following
board of directors were elected: W D
Forrester, M Birney, A H Kaley, L H
Wallace, A C Hosmer, D B Spanogle,
and M li McXitt. The following com
mittee was appointed to solicit shares
to capital stock: A C Hosmer, W D
Forrester, L H Wallace. The associa
tion's now fully organized and its fu
ture success is fully assured. Fvery

Gone from Earth On last Monday
afternoon at two o'clock, Miss Alice
Hutchinson, daughter qf Mr. and Mrs.
D F Trunkey. departed this life after
an illness of several months duration,
aged eighteen years. The funeral ser
vices occurred at her late residence
near Amboy, where she bac resided
for over a year past, on
Tuesday afternoon, May 12, 18S5, at
two o'clock, and was lirgely attended
by the many friends and relatives of
the deceased, RevC B Lenfest conduct
ing the services. The subject of this
sketch came to Red Cloud in the fall
of 1883, for the purpose of restoring

was only "temporary, and after a severe

Of the Bed Cloud Bomeataad Bon
ding and. Loan Association.
The uniform success of cc-operati?e
building association elsewnere, has
suggested the desirability of such an
organization in Red Cloud, and the Red
Cloud Building Homestead and Loan
Association has been incorporated for
the purpose of enabling persons of
small incomes to accumulate and in
vest their money upon easy terras to
build or pnrchase homes.
In organizing this association, the
projectors have adopted the most gen
eral plan of such societies. The stock
is divided into shares of one hundred
dollars, to be paid in monthly install
ments of fifty cents per share, and the
money so received is loaned to mem
bere as fast as the amount on hand
equals the sum of one hundred dollars
or more, to be used in building, pur
chasing or removing incumbrances
upon homes. No memler can borrow
to exceed the amount of his share
and rauat give security upon his real
estate and his shares in the Association.
Loans are awarded to the highest
bidder i. e , the member who will
pay the highest premium is awarded
priority in maKirig his loan. Borrow
ing members continue to pav their in
stallments on their stock and pay in
terest on their loans at the rate of ten
per cent per annum, monthly.
The money received as interest and
premiums is loaned out in the same
manner, and when Tall the members
in a series have received loans equal
to the amount of their stock, and when
the money iu the treasure equals the
amount of unpledged stock, the sto:k
becomes worth par. nays the loans, all
payments cease, and "the mortgages
are cancelled.
If the only receipts of the organiza
tion were the installments on the stock
this condition would only be reached
when the share holder had paid the full
sum of one hundred dollars, but the
receipt of interest and premiums very
materially shortens tne period, and it
is reached in other socities in. from sev
en to nine years. It is believed in this
city, where both rent'and interest rule
high, thatwe may safely figure on the
shorter period.
Let us suppose the case of a man
living in a house costing $750 to build
for which he is paying $12 per month.
Suppose he takes ten .shares iu the
Building Association and is compelled
to bid 25 per cent, premium in order
to obtain a loan, he would receive $750
with which he builds a house.. He
would then have "to pay on his ten
shares $5 per month, interest on loan
$S 33 per month; total $13.33 which
would give him his home at the end of
seven yenrs. If the premium is high
er, the increased profits shortens the
period of payment, and the person
who does not pay above the average
premium in his series, does not, iu fact
pay any premium, he only pays the
interest upon it. This will be readily
understood when it is considered that
each member pays the premium to
himself and all the other members,
and when all the members hae paid
it is the same as if none had paid. To
show that the party payin g the prem
ium of even 25 percent, is not paying
an excessive rate of interest, letussup
pose that the person named in the il
lustration had borrowed $750 on seven
years' time at 10 per cent, interest.
At the end of .seven years !he would have

leM'U years to 1,120
Difference favor of Association plan.., f ISO
Again if rates of premium are, in
the opinion ol any member, too high,
it is then for his interest not to borrow
but to use the association as a savings
bank, to invest his small savings, in
which case he gets the benefit of the
high interest, in other words, he can
either be a borrower or lender as his
interest indicates.
But the greatest advantage is the
opportunity which the association
gives for and the incedtive to small
savings and economy. Whether it
ought to be so or not, it is a fact that
with most men, the possession of
ready money for the purpose of obtain
ing a homej And this is the only plan
that offers them a chance without a
greater or less accumulation of cash
