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.

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.

The general remark of the farmer
is, hard weather on stock.
Our city is looming. 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

We bear of several parties contem
plating building in Platte Center in

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.

DIED.
NORTH Februarv 9th, 3farv, wife of
Hon. Frank North "of this city, in th..
3Sta year of her age.
The deceased wu born in IjMo, at Bris
tol, Conn., and came to Ncbriska with
the family of her uncle, S. C. Smith, Eiq.,
in the spring of 1?&". On Christmas day
of that year at the Cleveland House in
thi city, she wx married to Major North,
and they have lived happily together.
For thirteen years past 3lrs. North was
an invalid, but through all, cheerful and
patient.
She was preparing to go to Lincoln
Thursday morning when he was sudden
ly stricken down, and remained almost
entirely unconscious until her death.
Her hnband was immediately notified of
her serious illness, and was present with
her when her gentle spirit took its de
parture. The funeral, which vas very
largely attended, took place Sunday from
the Episcopal church. Rev. Goodale
preaching the sermon.
3Irs. North was of a very amiable dis
position, and all her acquaintances w-re
her friends.
"With her sorrowing husband and daugh
ter Stella, she leaves a host of peronai
friends who will sincerely mourn her
departure.
