A new snow plow went west Friday

reduced particles out from the top. It
is said that tho engine (builtfor the pur
pose), with this attachment, can go at
the rate of twenty miles an hour

inclined to believe it, after seeing this
contrivance.
The Ogallala papers speak very

ing the pupils to work and ingratiating
himself in their good graces and com
manding their respect," The Keith Co.

warm friends while among us, and his
departure to his home will be regarded
with general regret."
Jacob Ernst had a very narrow es
cape from death Saturday evening. As
he was driving home on that evening
about six o'clock, going north on North
street, the yard engine was pushing a
Hat car eastward down the track. Mr.
Ernst heard no bell or signal of any
kind, saw the engine, but did not notice
that a car was attached; he knew he had
plenty of time to cross before the en
gine would get to him, and was too close
to the track to turn around anyhow, and
the car struck his phaeton, at the same
time that Mr. Ernst jumped to the
ground. The phaeton, worth $180, was
carried along about 150 yards, and is
now worth nothing except as kindling
wood and old iron. The horses got
loose and are not injured, while Mr.
Ernst was not hurt a particle. It was
trnly a narrow escape, and Mr. Ernst is
to be congratulated.
- Mrs. Page presented her class med
als Saturday last, as follows: medal for
greatest number of perfect lessons, to

promising young musician. The num
ber of lessons learned satisfactorily were
fourteen, Louise Carnahan ranking
second, having eleven and Nellie Har
del third, having nine. Miss Anna
Turner, the medal for memorizing the
greatest number of pieces. Miss Turner
has made rapid improvement in the last
three months and shows a decided talent
that, with application, will place her in
the foremost ranks as a musician.
Among the pieces committed were two
numbers from Heller's Preparatory to
the Art of Phrasing, and one Beethoven
Sonota. Irving Speico ranked second
in memorizing. In the primary class
Anna Rasmusson succeeded in getting
the- silver medal. Mrs. Page begins
another term of music Jan. 2d, which
closes May 26. Medals will be offered
as before among the contestants will
be Misses Sarah Fitzpatrick, Clara Leh
man, Mamie Uhlig, Enore Clother, Anna
and Martha Turner, Nellie Hardell,
Louise and Nellie Carnahan, and it is
hoped others in the class.

THE OMAHA WEEKLY BEE.
A MagaiAcent Selection of PreminMft to be
Awarded to Subscribers. How the Pub
lishers of the Bee Distribute a Lance Num
ber of Valnnble Premiam Among Their
Patrons.
The publishers of the Bee are this season offer
ing its patrons the largest and most valuable list
of premiums that has eTerbeen awarded by them.
For the past seven ears the Bee lias annually
distributed among its patrons a large number of
valuable and useful article, increasing the nuni
lier and value each vear as the number of sub
scribers increased. This system was first inaug
urated by the publishers about eight!year ngo as
tho means of collecting back pay, securing
renewals and increasing the circulation of the
Bee. In this it proved a success. Several thou
sand dollars back dnes were collected wiuch
would otherwise have been almost entirely lost
or expended in enforcing collections through
agents or attorneys, and the subscription list was
increased from 3,r00 too er 33,000 in seven years.
Each successive year a larger number of sub
scribers was secured and the list of premiums
was proportionally increased.
During the first year only a small portion of
the articles distributed wore procured in ex
change for advertising. When the marked in
crease in the circulation became known to the
merchants and manufacturers, they willingly
offeiwl their goods and machinery in exchange
for advertising. In this manner a very valuable
selection of premiums was secured, with a com
parative t.mall outlay of cash. Almost nil the
more valuable articles are obtained in this way.
Nearly the only outlay in cash made is for the
minor premiums, such as looks, cutlery, etc.
These are purchased at tho very lowest wholesale
rates in very largo rmantities. In this way it N
made xsil)le to awanl such a magnificent lot of
premium to subscribers, and send each tho
p,ier for one year for the price of two dollars.
Tlie following is a partial list of the articles to
le awarded at the next distribution:
Kt acres of fine laud in Colfax Co., Ne
braska, valuetl at Sl.JOO ou
One Omaha city lot
One Au!tman & TaIor thrediing ma

Tho old patrons of the Hee need no assurance
of the stability and reliability of the paper, nor
do they need to lie informed of the principles it
advocates, tho fearless defense it makes in behalf
of the producers and uncompromising cpixui
tion to coriNirate monoiKiIies. It is almost
indispensable U the industrial classes of the
