The present season has produced an
unusually early crop of ice of fine
quality and G. W. Sohweuk proposes to
begin his harvest tomorrow from his
pond east of the city , where the ice
has formed to the thickness of 10 > to
11 inches. A force of 20 men and

Some very splendid holiday windows
are shown by the merchants of Norfolk
who are carrying a line of goods of nn
usual excellence. Those who have par
ticulaily noticed the windows and the
goods displayed have remarked that the
display would bo a credit to a city mucl
larger than Norfolk , and there are many
of them , almost every store making excellent
cellont displays in their line of trade
It is doubtful if Lincoln or Omaha has
better displays , though the larger wiu
dews of their buildings may give then
greater opportunity.

Fire broke out in the Anderson Mer
cantile company's store at Neligh at 0
o'clock Tuesday evening. Prompt work
by the fire department kept the flames
within the building. Between fire and
water the entire stock was badly dam
aged , perhaps a loss of four-fifths. The
value of the stock was between $12,000
and f 15,000 , upon which there was on
insurance of but $2,000. The loss to the
building iu considerable. The fire
started from a lamp being set beneath a
line of women's wrappers , which wore
suspended from tbo coiliug , and extended -
tended half the length of the room.
The funeral of Mrs. W. J. White was
hold from the family homo at the conn ref
of Madison avenue and Fourth street at
noon today , Rev. F. P. Wigton of the
Presbyterian church conducting the
services. The remains wore taken to
Wayne , the former home of the family
on the 1 o'clock train for interment
The last sad rites were attended by rola
lives and friends , and many beantifu
flowers were received , the school-mates
of Madge White in the public schoo
contributing a generous share , Mrs
Wi.ito had lived hero with her family
less theu a year , but had won main
friends during her residence who wil
bo sorry that she has boon called from
them. The family resided in Wayne
for a number of years , but before com
ing to Norfolk had lived at both Noligl
and Olearwator. She was n consistou
member of the Presbyterian church
Besides her husband the deceased leave
a eon aud four daughters , all of whom
are minors. The eldest , Max White , I
employed at Brunswick , and camp down
ram that place to attend the funeral of
tifl mother.
Old'Bottlers nay that conditions are
low more favorable for sleighing than
hoj have over boon since the country
vas nettled. They recall winters when
hnro was much more snow , but it was
accompanied by blimmls nud the
country being open , it woe usually
piled up in great drifts and bauks. A
Amo is recalled in the 70's when there
was seven foot of snow on the ground
and the drifts resembled mountains
aud filled gnlchos nud valleys level
full. It was accompanied by several
bliKxardo , which endured for throe dayh
nt a stretch , and the snow drifted in the
rivers and crooks to the extent that
there was no water loft la the streams ,
all having boon absorbed by the snow.
Those who liavo sleighs or ulodB are
making the most of present oondltion ,
and those who have horses but no sleds
are rapidly acquiring the requisite ma
chinery for n Hloigh rido. Souio have
placed runners on the axles of their
carriages or wagoim while others have
nothing bettor than a box with a couple
of planks nulled on for running gear.
Regardless of the moans , the enuio end
is attained , and those who have not en
joyed a slide over the glossy surface of
the snow and ice are infrcqueutly mot
with. The boys with their hand sleds
are enjoying conditions to their fullcht
extent , either by coasting or by attach
ing their sleds to passing vehicles If
there was a week of such conditions
each winter more people would provide
themselves with sleighs and sleds , but
many have considered that for a day or
two of sleighing each winter , which
has boon the general rule , it would not
pay to buy or manufacture the neces
sary vehicle. The weather has warmed
some today and the sun is threatening
the snow , but it IB probable that no
great amount of damage will bo done
before another cold spell , nud perhaps
more snow , will coino to the rescue of
sleighing conditions.
Anyone having horses or muloB to sell
will please bring them to Brnnnon's
barn any time next week between Wed
nesday morning and Saturday night.

Vlow of the Country 30 to 40 Miles
Distant Presented by a Peculiar Con
dltlon of the Atmosphere Display
Lasted an Hour and a Half.
Madison , Deo. 18. As requested , I
will try to give yon an account of th
beautiful mirage observed by mo and
others from the court house this morn-
lug :
When I arrived on the court house
lilll this morning about 8 : l0 ! o'clock , I
behold ono of nature's phenomena ,
rarely to bo observed in this part of the
country nothing less than a mirage.
The sun was just up , the atmosphere
clear , not a cloud in sight , and the torn-
poruturo , while coiiBldornbly below
freezing , was continually rising , everything -
thing giving promise of nn ideal winter
day. Below the hill was the city of
Madison , almost hidden from view by n
veil of smoke , which hardly rene above
the church steeples , but covered the
city like a sheet , there being not n
breath of wind to move it in any direc
tion. Soon I ( liNOOverod a Kimilar shoot
of black smoku spreading itself out in
the air , west-northwost from Madison ,
in the direction of Tildon or Oakdalo ,
about ! ! 5 or10 miles distant. Presum
ing that the atmosphere was in a simi
lar condition there as hero , I was at a
loss to know how smoke lying oloso to
the ground could IH > Been so distant ,
when ordinarily it would bo almost im
possible to BOO it that far , oven though
it should rise straight up. But the
mystery was soon cleared ; for in a few
moments first the contour of the country
and especially the hanks along the
north side of the Elkhorn river from
Tildon to Homo place east of Battle
Crook , aud later the banks themselves ,
appeared above the horizon , forming
apparently a continuous plane with the
country ordinarily visible from Madison ,
the most distant of whioh is about five
or six miles , while the country soon in
the mirage is from 20 to 10 miles dis
tant. Especially were the so called
"Yellow Banks" plainly visible with
their trees and groves. Looking in a
southwesterly direction , Boone county
with its hills and plains was clearly
scon , nud prominent in the panorama
was the big railroad cut near Bradish
in that county. .Tho spectacular reflec
tion lasted for about an hour and a half
and was witnessed also by Messrs. Geo.
E. Richardson , J J. Clements , Emil
Winter aud 0. W. Ornm.
