Work has already begun, the stone for the foundation being hauled, and the monument will be erected as soon as possible. M C. Cassin, for the first time on Friday set the machinery of steam sausage machine to work. The engine is a powerful little affair and does splen did work. For all purposes for which power is needed around the meat mar ket, it will be an excellent thing. The improvements cost about 8700. Dennis H. Harrington, the republi can nominee for county supervisor for districts six and seven, is a well-known grain buyer at Duncan. He is a man who can be trusted with the interests of the districts whose candidate he is, and would be a credit to his constituency in the management of their affairs. We regret to state that J. C. Turner and wife left the city Thursday for Columbus, Nebraska. The change was made in order to seek a more healthful climate. Mr. Turner has not decided where he will locate, but will remain in Columbus until he finds a suitable hab itation. Shenandoah (Iowa) Sentinel. Ghordis Stull of Marengo, Illinois, was in the city Friday. He had been in the state about a week, having been in Polk county looking after his 480-acre farm at the foot of the bluffs, which he comes out to see every year. Mr. Stull looks much the same as he did years ago when he lived here, and evidently Time is dealing very kindly with him. Special prices on all kinds of Car peting.

P. Hart, who is now in the em ploy of the Oxnard Construction com pany at Ames, was in the city Monday in the interest of the company. They are putting up the beet-augar factory there, to be rt00x600 feet and to cost two and a half million dollars. The smoke-stack is 166 feet high. An enor mous amount of freight is being handled at that point. Will Howell of Adams precinct re cently left at this office a curiosity in the shape of an ear of corn, each kernel of which was covered with a separate husk. It is called Egyptian corn and was the first that we have ever seen. When the husk is removed the grain greatly resembles the small flint Yankee corn, raised in the New England States. So says the Ho wells Journal. Mr. and Mrs. William Hoefelmann and two children attended the Exposi tion last week. The old folks had been down last year, and took the younger people an outing this time. Of course, there is nothing there beginning to com pare with the exhibits of last year, but there is very much on a trip like this which is very entertaining to the young, and none deserve the trip better than the industrious youth of the farm. Tuesday evening of last week Mrs. Dr. D. T. Martyn of this place (who had been with her sister, Mrs. G. W. Hulst, at Monroe) stepped off the platform at the Union Pacific depot there, in the dark, striking on her back, receiving in juries from which she has not yet fully recovered, but which, it is hoped, will not result in permanent injury. Dr. Frank accompanied her to this city. We learn that she is steadily improving. G. W. Turner returned Monday evening from his summers sojourn with Buffalo Bills Wild West The show opened at Madison Square Garden, New York, March 29, and closed at Urbana, Ohio, October U.

Whittaker Friday, Oct 13, at 7 a. nu Catharine Whittaker, in the sixty seventh year of her age. Deceased was the widow of A. J. Whittaker, who departed this life in 1893. About two years ago she had a stroke of paralysis, followed, six months later, by another stroke, and from these she never fully recovered. She had not been well for about three years and a half, but had not long been confined to her bed. Mrs. Whittaker was a member of the Congregational church, and much be loved by all her acquaintance. Funeral services were held at the resi dence in the eastern part of the city, Saturday at 2 o'clock, Rev; Hayes of the Presbyterian church, (in the absence of Rev. Rogers of the Congregational), preaching the sermon. The pall bearers were: J. H. Galley, H. T. Spoerry, W. W. Rice, A. W. Clark, E. O. Rector and R. L. Roesiter. Jen"xtsgs Chaxdleb At Omaha, August 18, 1899, by County Judge Bax ter, A. M. Jennings and Susan J. Chand ler. The Joubxal must on his occasion frankly acknowledge its inability to get all the news, all the time; our hearty good wishes go with our friends for hap piness and prosperity. Mtlleb Schulz Tuesday, October 17, by Justice Bayard Fuller of this city, William M Miller and Miss Anna Schulz. The Columbus Planing Mill, A. H. Frese, proprietor, is ready to take all your orders for general mill work, in whatever shape it may come. Call and see. Sash, doors, screens, tanks, etc., etc., are some of the specialties, but everything in our line, we can do for you, on short notice, and at very reason able prices. We have employed C. C. Hardy to assist us a man well known for the thoroughness of his work in our line. 4t South Omaha authorities are not exercising any more vigilance against thieves than is becoming to them, that is sure. Joseph B. Sweeney, a ranch man near Whitman, sold some cattle in that market town, and in a very short time thereafter, he had been overpow ered by three men, and $550 taken from him. He was a little too susceptible to influence, in a cigar store, of course, but there is always a more or less favor able opportunity for crooked work. The knowledge reaches Fremont that George Smith, many times a mil lionaire, died in London yesterday at an age of over 90 years. He was known here through his generosity to his rela tives who have lived near Fremont Mrs. C. W. Hyatt, now in California, has for many years received an annuity at his hands and J. Y. Smith and John Keith also received some of his bounty. Mr. Smith was reputed worth 20 mil lions when he left Chicago and it is supposed his estate is now worth more. Although these people known to Fre mouters are distant relatives a small slice should they receive it would be a good pick up. Fremont Tribune. Capt Charles W. Jens, the repub lican candidate for county clerk, is gaining ground every day, and is likely to continue doing so until the closing hour of election. The same thorough ness of devotion to the public that characterized his service in the army fighting against the Filippinos, will doubtless be brought to bear in the office of county clerk. Whatever the law prescribes as his duty, that you will find him doing, exactly as laid down honestly serving his fellow-citizens, ac cording to the laws as provided, doing every duty conscientiously. He made an excellent soldier; he will make an able official, and there is no reason why he should not receive your vote. Not a day passes but farmers are hunting hands to husk corn. Three cents a bushel is the regular wages, and a good corn shuckercan make big wages at that price. Men are wanted every where at good wages for all kinds of work. Mr. Ost, the Burlington agent here, received word from the company last Thursday to pick them up fifty men if he could, to work on the road build ing fence, stock yards, etc. There is no possible excuse for an able bodied man being out of a job. Carpenters, masons, plasterers and all other mechanics have all the work they can do. It is quite different now from what it was in the good old democratic days of 96, when men were glad to get a day's work at any old wages. Seward Blade. We never knew well-borers so busy as within the last few weeks. J. C. Tur ner wished a "tubular" well at the farm and Mr. Plath, the only man here that puts them down, had work three weeks ahead, so Craig struck out for Eugene Bacon at Platte Center. He came the next day, and they soon had water from the new well a depth of 110 feet The old well, a few feet distant, was put down in 1373, reaching water at a depth of S6 feet. By the way, there is a differ ence in the depth to water now and twenty-five years ago, in more places than here. The David City Press says: Twenty-five years ago 36 to 40 feet was the average depth of wells in this town, but the water raised constantly until 1893, when 24 to 28 feet was about the average, since when the water has sunk 8 feet and nearly every householder is now short on water. John Tannahill left this neighbor hood Saturday last, after endeavoring to sell a cow, going away with a horse and buggy, saying that he was going to friends, mother and brother, we believe, living near Bellwood, to borrow some money if he could, to straighten up his indebtedness. Nothing has been heard of him or from him since then, and his friends are very anxious concerning him. The revelations of last week (elsewhere referred to) were a surprise to every body, without exception, Mr. Tannahill always having borne a good reputation and generally regarded as an honorable man. Old friends remembered when, before financially involved, in the break up of the Alexis Mercantile association, Mr. Tannahill did not only the fair thing but generously by creditors, he being one of the stock-holders, and giv ing up a goodly portion of private property that was exempt by law. Of course there can be no excusing what he has done, but it is well enough, after all, that Infinite Justice and Mercy dwell together. City Pursuant to call, a number of enthu siastic republicans met at Council Hall Monday evening for the purpose of nom inating a city ticket The meeting was called to order by Committeeman H. G. Cross, John Wig gins being elected chairman and E. H. Chambers, secretary. John Hoffman and O. C Shannon were placed in nomination for assessor. A ballot being taken resulted in Shannon 11, Hoffman 8, and Mr. Shannon was declared the nominee. J. M. Curtis and Frank Taylor were nominated unanimously by acclamation for justices of the peace, and Marvin Elston and Mike Welch, the same for constables. The committee was given the usual authority. Opportunity was given to sign the constitution of the Reese Club. Before adjournment, the hall was crowded full of republicans. Democratic Cemrwtiaai. The democratic city convention was called to order Saturday evening at the council chamber at 8 o'clockvB. P. Duffy being chosen chairman and Charles Segelke, jr., selected as secretary. After reading the call the chair re marked that the business would be taken up in the order named, and the first thing would be the selection of a candidate for assessor. Dennis O'Brien was named but positively declined. Then C. A. Newman was suggested, but he declared that he would not be here next spring to look after the duties of the office. The name of John Graf was then suggested, together with mention that he was not present to decline. He was declared the nominee. Next came the selection of two jus tices. The name ot Bayard Fuller for this office brought out some discussion. He was asked to define his political position. Mr. Fuller arose and said that he had always been a democrat; that his ancestors were life-long democrats; that he came from Virginia, a grand old state which was notorious for its democ racy. He could assure this convention that he would this fall vote the state and county democratic ticket This seemed to satisfy some, but not alL He was told that he did not go far enough in his declaration, and was asked to tell them how he stood on the National issue. He spoke again for several min utes and eulogized the memory of Clay, Jefferson, Jackson and others, but per sistently refused to endorse Bryan or the Chicago platform. He was, how ever, nominated. He will have some trouble to square himself with several prominent republicans to whom he stated last week that he would vote for Reese. H. J. Hudson was named as the other justice of the peace, and Ed. Roesiter and John Schmocker for constables, after which the convention adjourned. Greek Carnival. A Greek Carnival by home talent will be given in the opera house Thursday evening, Oct 19th. Fifty or more young ladies and children assisting, under the direction of Miss Pickerill, who is con ducting classes in physical culture in this city. Rose Evylene Kneetrick, a reader of wide reputation, and former principal of the Western Reserve school of oratory, Cleveland, Ohio, will render some choice dramatic and humorous selections. Following, are some press comments concerning the program: "The statuary studies were most beautiful, the colored lights casting a ray of beauty upon the graceful study that was sublime. The minuet, by twenty-four little masters .and misses in court costume, was most entertain ing, the little ones being natural in the extreme. The different numbers were given with a promptness and movement that would do credit to professionals. The scarf drill was charming in effect It is the most elaborate entertainment ever undertaken in the city. Webster City (Iowa) Tribune. 'The guests were delightfully enter tained by Rose Evylene Knestrick, who gave a variety of readings that dis played her wonderful versatility and great talent to advantage. Her mag nificent rendition of the 'Sleep-walking scene from Macbeth" was a fine ex hibition of her unusual dramatic ability, and her presentation of "How grandma danced the minuet," was exquisitely beautiful and graceful. Other selec tions in a lighter vein convulsed the audience and called forth hearty ap plause," Fremont (Ohio) Daily News. "Rose Evylene Knestrick was invited by the board of lady managers of the World's Fair to deliver two addresses in the assembly room of the woman's building. This invitation she accepted and while in Chicago she represented her state in literary recital given in the Ohio building assembly room." Cleve land Sun and Voice.

There have been two working organi zations effected in the state, one with headquarters at Omaha, the other at Lincoln, Mutual Hail Insurance com panies, that, we understand were con ceived in fraud, born in iniquity, and are being conducted right along as swindling devices for raking in money for the projectors, without rendering any equivalent There are, it seems, not so many victims in the southern part of Platte county as in the northern part, and there are not tens here where there are hundreds in the northern counties of the state. The charters of the compa nies provide for salaries of the officials as high as $8,000 each, annually. So far, however, it seems that they have not found it necessary to draw on their salaries, all the funds coming in, and they are reported among the ten thou sands, having been consumed in "ex penses" of various kinds, such as adjust ers' fees, mileage, etc Mr. Brown, an attorney of Wakefield, was in the city the other day in consul tation with McAllister Cornelius. It is understood over the state that those who have not paid money to those out fits need not do so, as they have no legal authority to do business, as they pre tend, not having complied with the statute.

BECHER, JAEGGI & CO., Thirteeatk St COLUHBUS, - - NEBRASKA KABILA HERO AT CHURCH. Broadway's Great Congregation Greets Harry K. Rightmire. Harry K. Rightmire, Sergeant Major of the First Regiment of Nebraska Vol unteers, who has once more made Cam den his home, has received royal recep tion, as the hero well deserves, since his arrival here. The greetings of the week reached their climax last night when he was actually forced to the front at Broadway 1L E. Church and then com pelled to hold a levee in the parlor of the church after the dismissal of the congregation. He attended the au tumnal exercises and simply to please Dr. Street wore his regimentals. He quietly took his seat beside father, mother and sister in a pew in most un ostentatious manner. But Dr. Marshall compelled him to go to the platform, which had been transformed into the bow of the Olympia, and introduced him to the admiring hundreds. The audience of two thousand burst into applause as he reached the ship and roee in greeting. Harry was eqnal to the occasion and made a splendid speech in which he provoked more admiration. Later he reviewed the Epworth League Guards and was greeted by the congregation, finding true the words of Dewey that "this hero business is hard work." On Tuesday night, the young Manila hero found himself suddenly surround ed by a large company of friends at his home, 504 Penn street. The rooms had been tastefully decorated with the Na tional colors, his picture forming the center of one part of the decorations and he fell back in astonishment. The attentions of friends made him do what Filipino bolos and bullets could not do. This reception was planned and hur riedly put in execution by Mrs. Right mire and Miss Rightmire, mother and sister, who are justly proud of uour boy." Those who participated in this event were: CoL H. L. Hartshorn and wife.
