A level-headed business man sug
gests that it is the duty of every man
who makes a will, to deposit it where it
can be easily accessible to parties in
interest, and also with it leave a sched
ule of property, the reason being that the
end may come suddenly. A case in the
east is in illustration. A husband died
suddenly, and for days the wife was
ignorant of many important business
matters. Only by accident was it that a
key was found in a pocket of his clothes
and traced to a safety vault, and there
were found two life insurance policies of
$10,000 each, besides other valuable
papers, none of which any of his friends
knew anything about With the ordi
nary person, it is a good thing to have a
particular place, known to the family,
where valuable papers are kept and
keep them there.
George Barnum has left with us
specimens of corn husks with myriads
of the parasites that he says cause the
great destruction of cattle, under certain
conditions. Several years sgo, with his
father, Guy C. Barnum, he investigated
the matter somewhat closely, having
lost thirty-nine head of cattle, and they
came to the conclusion, not only from
their own practical tests at home, but
also from correspondence with experts
at the State university, that smut was
not the cause of the cattle dying, but
that it was this parasite. He does not
now remember the name given to it but
the egg, he says, is laid by a black fly
about the size of a lady-bug, and ia de
clared to be as poisonous as arsenic
The reason we do not hear of more fatal
ities this season u because, the wet
weather, the aleet and the freeze have
blMtfe parasites.

Occasionally we believe it is well to
give specimens of composition, so that
youthful scribblers can have the benefit
of the criticisms of their parents and
fellow pupils, without prejudice in their
favor. The young writer who sends the
following asking its publication in The
Joubkal, is hereby assured that we give
it just as we get it, spelling, punctuation
and all:
nnrnts
Or on naughty little kitties
Coming sad jumping out the door
Is it because you don't like
A house without a floor
Or is it because there are
80 many little calls here
Go and drink the milk
I pot in the pan over there.
Your mother was so bad
To drive you from your pretty home
If I would not have taken you
You would have died all alone.
Saying nothing about capital letters,
spelling, etc., our young friend should
give particular attention to that part of
grammar which treats of the rules of
rhythm in metrical composition. There
are a large number of writers of rhyme
to whom this advice would be just as
applicable as it is to our young con
tributor. The Second annual exhibition of the
North Platte Poultry and Pet Stock
association is to be held at Humphrey,
this county, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, December 29, 30 and 31. Tax
JouBKAii acknowledges the receipt of a
copy of the premium list and a special
invitation to the exhibit. We believe
that if farmers generally would pay more
attention to poultry they would find it
much more profitable than they had ever
supposed it to be, except, of course, those
of them who have investigated the mat
ter for themselves. We have just paid
20 cents for a dozen of egga, and with
corn and other truck at the prices they
are, if there is not sufficient force in the
suggestion, we fail to see what would be.
One year with another, a reasonable esti
mate of the value of eggs, clear of ex

The Nebraska LecUUtare.
It is a recognized fact among Nebras-
kans that no matter what other daily
papers they read at other times, during
the legislative sessions they must get the
Lincoln State Journal if they want all
the news. The Journal is right on the
ground, can get the latest doings of the
law makers and frequently gives the
news one day earlier than the Omaha
papers. The Journal's Washington cor
respondent, Mr. Annin, keeps Journal
readers thoroughly posted on matters of
interest to Nebraakans that are happen
ing at the national capital. The Journal
is mailed at 50 cents per month without
Sunday or 65 cents per month with Sun
day. It is a great paper.
Reduced Holiday Rate.
The Burlington will sell tickets to
points not over two hundred miles apart,
at one fare and a third for the round
trip.
Dates of sale December 24th, 25th, 31st
and January 1st, good to return until
January 4th, 1897. 2t

Cedar Rapids Outlook: Miss Marie
Chapman, teacher of the second primary
department, was discovered a victim of
diphtheria, last Sunday, but the form as
usual is very mild. The board of health
again ordered our public buildingB
quarantined. School will now have a
vacation of three weeks and it is hoped
by the time it begins again this plaguo
will be thoroughly stamped out.
Howells Journal: A couple of weeks
sgo the Schuyler Sun contained an item
to the effect that there were five cases of
diphtheria in the vicinity of Clarkson
and they were of the dangerous type.
The truth of the matter is that there
was only three esses and at no time were
any of them dangerously ill. It is bad
enough to have the disease in a town
without a paper twenty miles away
making it considerably worse than it
really is.
Fullerton Post: Harry Chadwick, a
youth about 14 years old, has been giv
ing his mother so much trouble that it
was deemed best to try and see if the
authorities at the Kearney Reform school
could not do him some good. Harry
admits he has been a very bad boy and
takes the matter philosophically. So
Wednesday Sheriff Snyder took him to
Kearney. Harry is a bright boy and if
he will only turn into the right path he
can amount to something in this world.
Genoa Leader: The ice went out of
the Loup Wednesday and carried out a
couple spans of the bridge. The part
carried out is the same that went out
last spring and which was only repaired
temporarily. It seems exceedingly
strange that the board should not have
repaired this during the summer months.
It was a sure thing that the firet cake of
ice that struck those pine piling would
break them off like pipe stems. Had it
been the Fullerton bridge it would have
been attended to long ago.
Stanton Register: One day last week
bank examiner Fodrea was here and in
going over the county treasurer's book,
kept by deputy Y. B. Wells, he found
that quite a sum that had been received
had not been accounted for. Mr. Fodrea
notified treasurer Neuman and he at
once took personal possession of the
office. Mr. Wells resigned the deputy
ship and H. F. Stephens is in the office
at present to assist in looking over the
books. Examiner Fodrea will be back
and go over the books before charges
will be made against anyone. Treasurer
Neuman informs us that he has put up
the reported shortage and the county or
his bondsmen will lose nothing through
him or anyone in his employ.
Madison Chronicle: The dam at the
roller mills of L. G. Bley, in this city,
went out last Friday morning, owing to
the high water and moving ice. The
mills have had to shut down in conse
quence. Mr. Bley has been very unfor
tunate since he purchased the mill prop
erty, as this is the third time the dam
has gone out since he took charge G.
W. Webb of Newman Grove has become
demented and waa brought before the
commissioners of insanity Tuesday.
During the war Mr. Webb who was a
soldier in the confederate army, was
wounded in the head by a musket ball,
the bullet remaining there ever since,
and it is supposed that this is the cause
of his aberration. We trust that it is
only temporary Mrs. Frederick Teeke
who lived on a farm about four miles
southwest of the city, left the house to
look after some boards on a bridge.
Search was made and the body finally
found in the creek under the ice. She
was 60 years old.

COLUMBUS,
12 years old, son of J. Coles of Boone,
accidentally shot himself in the heel with
a 22-calibre rifle last Sunday. He was
brought to Albion and Dr. Lewis made
an unsuccessful attempt to locate the
bullet. He is still here and is doing
well, and will soon be around again
There were shipped in here from Mon
tana, this week, 2,700 head of sheep to be
fed for market. Geo. Kiene received
14200 on Monday, and Tuesday Mel
Stevens, a nephew of M. G. Needham,
arrived with 1,500 head. These will help
in a degree to eat up our surplus corn
and hay According to common report
and general belief we might almost say
universal knowledge there is a gamb
ling den in Albion that should be sup
pressed forthwith. It is patronized, we
are reliably informed, not only by men
of mature years, but by young men and
boys even. This must cease. If the
constituted authorities are inclined to
wink at this infraction of law and order,
other means will be found to clear out
this vile den. It must go, and "stay
gone."
To Chicago asd tke East.
Passengers going east for business, will
naturally gravitate to Chicago aa the
great commercial center. Passengers
re-visiting friends or relatives in the
eastern states alwaya desire to "take in"
Chicago en route. All classes of passen
gers will find that the "Short Line" of
the Chicago, Milwaukee k St Paul Bail
way, via Omaha and Council Bluffs,
affords excellent facilities to reach their
destinations in a manner that will be
sure to give the utmost satisfaction.
A reference to the time tables will in
dicate the route to be chosen, and, by
asking any principal agent west of the
Missouri river for a ticket over the
Chicago, Council Bluffs k Omaha Short
Line of the Chicago, Milwaukee k St.
Paul Railway, you will be cheerfully
furnished with the proper passport via
Omaha and Chicago. Please note that
all of the "Short Line" trains arrive in
Chicago in ample time to connect with
the express trains of all the great through
car lines to the principal eastern cities.
For additional particulars, time tables,
maps, etc., please call on or address F.
A. Nash, General Agent, Omaha, Neb.
