Some time since one of our merch
ants advertised an artiele for sale and in
printing we took a 5 for a 3 making the
article appear to be sold for 30c. instead
of 50c, as intended. The Journal had
scarcely been distributed, before a rush
was made on the store. People had
read the advertisement, understood it
was a bargain, and were going to take
advantage of it Of course we were
sorry we had made a rniafaw but what
impressed us was the idea that people
do read advertisements and when they
nee a bargain they offered profit by it
immediately. A merchant should al
ways advertise his bargains, if he wants
to draw the crowd, and if his customers
have confidence in his honesty they will
not be long in finding his store. Few
people realize how reasonable in price
in advertising through the weekly
papers amounts is in comparison with
the profits derived None who have
ever given it a iudirioaa truL ham
found it wanting.

MRS. JANE NORTH.
Grandma North is one of the oldest
settlers of this county and state, and
can tell some thrilling stories of pioneer
days.
She came with her husband and fam
ily from Central Ohio to Omaha, first
stopping in Council Bluffs.
In 1857 Mr. North was with a company
of men near where Papilion is now lo
cated, and getting separated from the
company in the heavy blizzard, was lost
and. perished in the storm.
Soon after, the family came to Platte
county.
Grandma North had a family of seven
children, two of which died before com
ing west. James, Frank, Lute, Mrs.
Cashing and Mrs. Morse were with her
to share the hardships and pleasures of
pioneer dtys.
With the exception of Frank, who'
died twelve years ago, Mrs. North has
all the children with her here, an honor
to her and a great comfort.
She was seventy-eight years old last
February.
She has separate rooms with her
daughter, Mrs. Cashing, and thoroughly
enjoys herself.
She is an honor to our country as a
pioneer lady.

The University of Nebraska has just
issued a very attractive pamphlet de
scriptive of the School of Agriculture.
Every farmer should write for one.
This course in agriculture is altogether
the most complete, practical and com
monsense thing of the kind that has
ever come under our observation. It is
something that no farmers' boy or girl
of any ambition can afford to miss.
The people in charge of the school real
ize the fact that most farmers' sons and
daughters cannot afford to spend the
time and money required in the prepar
ation for and completion of the regular
college course, but believe that in farm
ing, as in every other business, educa
tion and training pay. A short practi
cal course begins January 3, 1899, end
ing March 17. The studies will be soil
tillage, diseases of farm animals, stock
breeding, feeding stock, dairying, horti
culture, carpentry and blackBmithing.

In getting off an Elkhorn train at
Humphrey.last Saturday night Hon. T.
F. Memminger met with a very serious
accident Mr. Memminger together with
a party of his Madison friends had been
to Newman Grove and came back to
Humphrey on the freight and were very
anxious to get the U. P. train for Madi
son, so when the train stopped, they
supposed it had reached Humphrey.
Tom was the first to get off and instead
of reaching the ground within two or
three feet fell a distance of about 15 feet
the car being directly over the highest
point of a bridge. He was very badly
shook up and so bruised that it is im
possible as yet to move him, and he still
remains at the Granville House where
he was taken. Mrs. Memminger went
down on Sunday morning and it will yet
be two or three days before he can be
brought home, but it is thought that no

Dzar Brother: The weather here has
been fine, so the natives, say, but I do
not like a warm climate like this. I
never want to live in it I imagine after
a person gets acclimated, they get just
as lasy as the southern "California peo
ple, and that is useless.
We had aa old time Nebraska shower
yesterday that lasted three hours. Our
streets were full of water. Some of the
boys sleeping in "pappy" tents had to
move out bat as the soil is sandy,, it
soaked in quickly.
When I met E. J. Baker here it took
me back to school-boy days, and when I
was not in school, I could generally be
found in his elevator driving an old
horse, furnishing the power for the
Two weeks ago Friday the -captain
took' the company for a two days' march
across the' saountains 20 miles to the
other side of the Island.
We left camp at 7 in the morning and
arrived there at 4. The roads were
awful, mud ankle 'deep! and 'it rained
most of the day. The teacher allowed
uaT to sleep in the school house, which
was very much appreciated.
We started for camp at '8 in the morn
ing, and arrived at "2, all feeling good
and no one having to fall out on the trip.
The First sergeant remained in camp
and when we got back he asked, Capt
Kilian what kind of a trip we had, and
how the boys stood it. The captain
answered" by saying we had a fine trip,
and that he had 'the best company in
the whole volunteer army.
The paymaster is here now, and we
expect to be paid on Nov. 4.
There are three or four of our com
pany coming home, and Fred-Gilmore,
who has been in the hospital, but is not
yet well will go with them.- I think a
furlough from here will mean a dis
charge. The companies are to be stationed
nearer Honolulu. There is too. much
malaria where we are camping now.
I was taken sick Sept. 5 with what the
natives call Boohoo fever, nothing but
malaria, and' was assigned to quarters
until !the 16th, I did no duty of any
kind during that time, and I tell you I
was sick, but I feel better now than I
ever did in my life, and the-medicine
that cured me was no other than good
old Harlem oil, and 'I'now carry a sup
ply of 5 bottles of it. You ought,' to see
the boys near our tent coming to Doc.
Turner for some of the "medicamentum."
It is wonderful what it, will .do. f
The boys are all getting restless and
want to go either onto Manila or back
home and be mustered out, as this lay
ing around camp is very monotonous
and no one likes it.
We can't find out anything about
which way we are going, bat -write me
here, "to follow company." ' '

Dear Brother:. As there is a mail
boat going to the states -tomorrow I
thought I would drop you a few lines.
George Thompson from St. Edward is
very low, and they say he has been moved
into the death ward at the hospital. In
all we have 15 sick men, but as yet no
deaths.
The Transport Arizona has -arrived
here from Manila, and brought me three
letters and two papers, and I was very
glad to read from home.
The program here now is that we will
be paid Wednesday, and leave on the
Arizona about Saturday- for Manila, but
nothing sure. In conversation with
one of the Bailors of the Arizona he said
it was a shame to take -us fellows over
there, as it was pretty near the same as
leading us to a slaughter, house. He
says the people there are dirty and
filthy, and that the city is ten times
worse, and that there were 1500 sick
soldiers there. But we are soldiers, and
to be good ones, must obey commands
and go where we are ordered to go.
A week br so ago ex-Queen Libokau
lania came out and our company gave
her an exhibition drill, which she seemed
to enjoy very much. We gave her our
fancy drill, bayonet exercise and manu
al of arms, and the boys did well, look
ing very neat in their blue suits. After
the drill, ahe presented the captain (Bigr
mark, as every one calls him) with a
handsome boquet, and a large photo
graph of herself.
Up to this date, not one of our com
pany has been in the guard house' for
any misdemeanor of any kind, and it is
quite a record, to be sure.
Address me at Honolulu, to follow
company, and if we don't go to Manila,
will get it sooner, but I think we will go
the latter part of this week. Well, will
close for this time, with love to all.
Regards to inquiring friends.
Frank.
Along with the letter, came two news
papers that are veritable curiosities
"Kealohaaina," "Ke Aloha Aima," both
bearing the motto, whatever it may be,
"Ua mau ke ea o ka aina I ka pono."
The language seems to be very smooth,
what we can catch on to of it, with an
abundance of vowel sounds, and com
paratively few consonants.

Dear Folks: Received your letters
the other day and was glad to hear from
home once again. I am feeling well and
hope yon are the same.
Just got through with dinner, which
consisted of beefsteak, potatoes, bread
and tea. Yesterday we had meat, pota
toes, table onions and radishes, stewed
tomatoes, bread and tea.
It is awful hot here today, in fact it is
hot every day, but it gets cooler toward
evening.
There were six men out of ou r company
in the brigade hospital but didn't stav
there very long after the Nebraska vol
unteers were ordered to open fire on the
Spanish, and not give an inch. There
were about 5,000 Spaniards and 350
Americans. We lost only one man, and
three or four wounded.
The guard detail consists of six pri
vates and two corporals, or one sergeant,
every morning from each company, but
it is getting easier all the time.
The Nebraska boys were in one of the
hardest battles fousht here in Manila.
The Spaniards went around our entrench
ments and came up on the side of us. and
when they came in- range, they opened
fire, but they didnt stay there very long
after we got rightly at them.
