Taylor reports that a shaft four by 6ix feet has been sunk, on the" Wilson farm Batler cauuty, aai that bo rock or coal had, sc- yeLJ'beeiH reached, on Wednesday last Last Sunday was one of those lovely winter days in Xebraeka which it would be bard to excel ii ay clim- ate, and there are. -mare saebinjf.theu year than anywhere we know of in the same latitude. A sensation occurred atMiditon the other day, which we can only suggest, for lack of space: married man, single girl, letters, appointment, male substitute in girl's clothes, meet ing, signal, tar and cotton. Jack Echols, who had the contract, has, with the assistance of F. Smith and Frank Eaton, done some very fine painting, graining, frescoing and pa pering at the residence of R. H. Hen ry. As the work cost oxer 500, it onght to be, as it is, very fine. Those who have phones are re quested to communicate with the Jouenal at any time during business hours ; orders for advertising or job work and also items of local news can readily be sent is that way. Remem ber, that we shall be pleased to hear from yon. The impression was general that the discovery of coal in the bluffs, six miles north of here, was a hoax, "but developments have proven the fact of the presence of coal, and a shaft is now being sunk to ascertain if it is there in paying quantities. If it is, the last objection to Nebraska is disposed of. We await the coal millenium. Ris ing Independent. J. C. McVickers of Peru was in town last week, taking orders for wood and fence posts, which he pur chases in Missouri. We venture to predict that more fencing will be done in Nebraska the coming season than ever before. It is only a question of time with every farmer who has tried a small pasture. The better condition of the stock will amply repay the ex pense of necessary fencing. Our thanks are due to Represent ative McAllister for copies of several bills introduced in the legislature, but particularly for house roll, 189, a bill to provide for tearing down the old capitol and erecting the body of the new capitol, and senate file Co, to ap portion the state into judicial dis tricts. This bill, introduced by C. L. Harris, puts us in the sixth district, composed of Hamilton, Hall, How ard. Merrick, Nance, Platte and Polk counties. The editors of the Boone County Xeics and the Boone County Argus being no longer able to settle the vex ed question of their respective mental superiority had occasion to resort to force of arms. The affray occurred in the Court House. The county holds the relics of the contest, consisting of some broken furniture and ink stain ed walls in her temple of justice. The massive and intellectual brows of the editors are decked gracefully with court plaster. "Let us have peace." Rev. J. C. Evans took a trip to Kearney, and north from there to Loup City, last week. He was very much pleased with the country, and was surprised at the number and quality of the improvements on farms. There is one section where the settlers are from Michigan, quite a number of them, their dwellings in a row, called Michigan Avenue, a fine looking farm "street." Mr. Evans says that Buffalo county is an excel lent wheat country, producing this year 22 bushels to the acre. Timothy Sullivan, son of Dennis Sullivan, aged about 20; living on Shell Creek, this coontv. about ei?hti miles northwest of Columbus met with a horrible death last Friday. He had been over to Platte Center and bad taken with him his double-barrelled shot gun. On his return home he went to hang up his gun and step ping upon a chair to reach up to the straps where it usually hung struck the hammers on the edge of the chair discharging both barrels, tearing away all the front part of his head, scatter ing his brains over the room and on the ceiling, killing him instantly. This is another terrible warning to persons who handle fire arms. George Spooner visited the scene! of the coal discovery in Butler county on Wednesday and Thursday last. The work is being done by four men under the supervision of Wra. Turner of Bellwood. The site is nearly oppo site Colnmbus in the face of the bluffs, on the west side of a udraw" opening northward, opposite the residence of Mrs. Wilson, and about ten feet from the bed of a little creek. The shaft that is being sunk is five feet square. Thursday at 10 o'clock, at a depth of 30 feet, soapstone was struck, and at two o'clock they were finding in it black streaks which looked like de cayed timber. A party of Columbus men will probably visit the place this week tn learn what tbe prospect is. The annual statement of .the Mo- 9 tual Life Insurance Co. of New York printed in another column, like all' the reports that have preceded it, shows the continued prosperity and growth of this corporation. It is now as it has been for many years, the largest and strongest life insurance company of tbe world. Its assets are 197,961, 317.72, surplus over$12,000,000,amount of policies in force over 1329,000,000, income over $17,000,000, paid to policy holders last year more than $12,800,000 The Mutual Life has steadily adhered to its original plan of affording the largest amount of insurance at the least price consistent with safety and with the best interests of its insured. Each succeeding statement shows the wisdom of the reduction of premium rates inaugurated by this company, benefitting old as well as new policy holdara. Genua Fire lasarmace C. For the past eleven years, Gas. G. Becher of this place has been repre senting the above-named company, and has always found their dealings with customers perfectly satisfactory. They pay any losses promptly, with out an endeavor at beating, or taking advantage of technicalities. They do straight, honest work, every time As a proof of their popularity, it may be stated that the amount of business lone in Nebraska the past year leads all the companies, being $81,955,82, and the losses paid by them f 20,491, 50. The following, from the Freeport (111.) Republican, shows the general condition and truswortbiness of the company. It is with pleasure we call the at tention of the readers of the Republi can to the Eighteenth Annual Statt ment of the condition of the German Insurance Company, of this city, to be found in another column. The gratifying exhibit made by this insti tution is a source of congratulation, not only to the officers and stock-holders, but like-wise to the entire com munity, as we all feela just pride in having so reliable and prosperous an institution in our midst. The remark able growth attained by the German is unprecedented. Ten years ago its assets amounted to 9250,000 while to-day they have assets of nearly a million and a quarter dollars, and -with the same careful and business like management ior another decade their surplus will be $2,000,000. Dur ing the past year the company has issued 50,696 policies, and paid over one thousand losses, amounting to $246,265 39, the loss in every case be ing promptly paid as soon as adjusted. The business of the company has been conducted unostentatiously, and to the officers of the company, the genial Secretary, Mr. Fred Gund, especially, belongs the credit for placing the Ger man in the front rank of insurance companies in the northwest. With the interests of the company at heart, he has gome toward, untiringly and persistently, increasing the resources of the company, and widening their field of operations, at the same time with a zealous care watching every vantage point, whereby the best in terests of the company could be pro moted. Hon. M. Hettinger, President, and the Board of Directors, have ably seconded Mr. Gund's efforts, and to day the German is the only one of the dozen companies which existed in Freeport fifteen years ago, the bal ance haveng succumbed long since. 1. Sparks from GraaTille. J. E. Moncrief visited the school in district No. 38 last week. D. J. Dredert's father, who resides in West Point, is very sick. Since Christmas, there has been no preaching at the school-house. N. J. Bentz, secretary of the Gran ville literary, resigned, and A. H. Miller was elected instead. Mrs. P. L. Baker who has been vis iting relatives in Iowa, and Mrs. Jas. Palmer who has been visiting in Can ada, have returned. Subject debated at Postville Satur day, was, "Resolved, That compulso ry education ought to be adopted in the United States." Disputants were, affirmative, P.J. Bentz; negative, P. J. Coleman ; Geo. Mahood, Miss Rivet and D. Faulet were judges, whose de cision was in favor of the affirmative. The question debated at the Gran ville literary Friday night, was, "Re solved, That it is wrong to prohibit the Chinese while all other people are allowed to immigrate here." Speak ers on the affirmative were P. J. Bentz, A. H. Miller and W. S. Sibley ; nPffativ (I W PlarL- V W. Tat A and P E. O'Donnell. W. H. Cosby, Robt. Mahood and A. H. Potter were judges.

Another store is open in the Henry building by J. W. Lynch and C. C. Carrig. -'-Critic" wishes them snecess. Two dispatches were received here during the storm of Friday, one an nouncing the death of Mrs. Malone of Cheyenne and daughter of P. J. Maughan or Shell Creek, the other reports the death of Miss Carney of Chicago, sister of Mrs. M. Kuhue of this place. The fair that was held here for the benefit of the Catholic church was quite a success, and much credit is due to the young ladies and gentle men who worked so energetically for the good cause and aso to Mrs. Stump of Columbus, who took an active part. The receipts are as follows: Sadie Perkinson's table, 176.25 ; Mazie Car rig's, f60.?5; the Misses Lynch and Gleason, 160.00. On the gold brace- lets Nellie Macken received 161 votes, Ellie Lackey 60. The watch was won by James McCormack of Grand Prairie. Everything went off pleas antly, and all were well satisfied ex cept the newly-married pair who took home the doll, and the young man who could not find an oyster'in his sob p. Critic. ltTilIe Ifesa, Ms. Editor: Your correspondent reporting the death of old Mr. Ed wards after coming from a visit here home to Minnesota did not tell yon tbe whole trath. Tbe poor old Kan was cruelly msrdered in sight of his son's house for $L10 which the mur derer found npon him and took, some $16 or $17 being in his inside pocket and left untouched. Some of our neighbors around here have lost.-some stock. Mr. David Thomas lost a cow which was calving during the storm. A. Henrich lost some sheep and two calves. Mr. Davis two twin calves. Mr. Simon Borrows, who stopped awhile in your city, will enter npon the noble art of farming in the spring. More next time. Izxx. Drippiass from Platte Ceater. Our new firm, Messrs. Carrig & Lynch, seem to be doing well. Mr. I. Niemoller our courteous town merchant has just returned from a two weeks' visit to Illinois. We bear of several parties contem plating building in Platte Center in the gpringj Md our towa may ex pected to boom. We hear our upper Shell Creek friends are having Lyceums regularly on Saturday evenings, and they are said to be very pleasant. Some of the Platte Centerites en joyed themselves very much at J. J. Macken's a few evenings since in the way of a surprise party. The sudden death of Timmy Sulli van by the accidental discharge of a gun on the afternoon of the 9th, is certainly a very sad event. The school in Dist. No. 24, which has been conducted by Mr. Augustus Davis, closes on next Friday the 16th, and Mr. Davis goes to his Columbus home. I am credibly informed that be has given excellent satisfaction, and it is hoped that our board of directors may succeed in obtaining his eervices as teacher again.
