The latter is known to be a tough character. One of the white men,C. H. Jeffrey, pro tests ignorance of the affair. It seems he formerly worked here for W.T. Ernst "Uncle Tom's Cabin" never grows old. There runs through it a vein of pathos peculiarly touching and sweet It speaks the universal language of the heart It reflects like the prism the in nermost phases of the human emotion. It is more than a play. It is a moral classic. It argues for two of the great est themes that can engage the mind; human liberty and immortality of the soul. Notwithstanding its frequent pro duction, it is seldom that one sees the play as it is now presented by the Ed. F. Davis colossal spectacular. It is like meeting an old friend after many years. The management doubtless believes in the maxim. "What's worth doing, is worth doing well."

George Willis arrived in town one day last week from the Black Hills coun try, where he is interested in mines and mining, having closed down work for the winter on account of the cold weather. He is of the opinion that the output of gold for that country for the coming year will be greater by one-half than in any former year. After renewing old acquain tances here for several days, Mr. Willis went Sunday to Omaha, where he will pass the time until spring opens up, when he will return to the Hills and resume work there in which be interested. is A gawky country boy came to town recently, and after wandering up and down the streets for an hour or so, stopped in front of an empty building to gaze at a window hanger advertise ment of some theatrical company. In a little while he was joined by one of the town loafers, and before long another and then two or three more. The farmer boy said not a word but continued to look. After half an hour had passed, one of the more curious loafers could stand it no longer and he asked the farmer boy what he was looking at The country youth turned his head and ans wered: "I wsa just tryin' to see how long a fellow could 'tend to his own business in this town without some durn fool wantin'to know what hewasdoinV Nebraska City News. George Jenkinson, a former resident of this county, but for some time resid ing on a farm two miles east of Newman Grove, Madison county, and owned by C. H. Sheldon of this city, it seems, is a much wanted man just nowljy the bank ers and loan agents of Madison, Lindsay and Newman Grove. After mortgaging his stock and grain three times and then disposing of it he departed for parts unknown. The mortgages called for about 400 head of cattle, 200 head of hogs, besides horses, farm machinery and grain. The sheriff found only twenty four head of cattle, twenty-three hogs and the machinery. It is said he left his wife without either warning or money. It is estimated that he got away with about $3,000. McAllister k Cornelius are representing Mr. Sheldon's interests as attorneys, and in company with Sheriff Byrnes visited the premises last week and made secure what property was left in sight Now a replevin suit has been commenced in the district court of Mad ison county by the Flato Commission company against George Jenkinson and John C. Byrnes. The defendant, it is alleged, made and delivered to plaintiff a promissory note for $1,000 payable November 16, 1900, a chattel mortgage on 550 bushels of wheat an undivided two-thirds interest of 120 acres corn and sheds on the north half of 36-24-4. The property is now being held by Sheriff Byrnes of this county. Judgment for possession of property and one hundred dollars damage for wrongful detention of possession is asked, and the end is not yet The Reporter plant at Seward having been purchased by J. C. Rahe to be removed to Shelby, Polk county, to re place the Sun material, which was recent ly totally destroyed by fire, leaves two papers in Seward, "all the business men of the city feel like supporting," remarks the local chronicler. It is hardly worth while to make any comment on what the word "supporting" in this connection may mean, but it has often-occurred to us when seeing this manner of reference that there is no more obligation to "sup port" eight newspapers in a 2-paper town than there is to keep four horses for work on a 1-horse farm, so to speak. Business may be very briefly defined as the exchange of mutual benefits. We have seen some papers which at first glance seemed to have no excuse what ever for beginning to exist but on look ing again were found to have a definite and justifiable purpose at heart, and we must candidly say that we have, in thirty years' experience in newspaper work and observation, never seen a local newspaper but gave excellent return (often ten-fold) for all values received from the commu nity in which they have sought to the best of their ability, to gain a foothold and make a living. Business is helpful a business when it is a fair exchange of values, and on that basis the honest faithful and capable newspaper concern, wherever it may be securing recognition, stands squarely, firmly and intelligently, doiog duty faithfully in dark times, as well as when the skies are clear; cheer fully when he can see the evidences of good endeavor ripening into fruition on every hand, and with heroic zeal when the vital questions of government and social life are touched. We doubt not that the local newspaper referred to in this paragraph, notwithstanding the clouds and storms, gave full value for all it received from the community, and that the true business men of the city of Seward regarded their transactions aa true buameas exchange, and not "support" xxxscxxxxxxxsoooooooooe: I.

You can buy the best farm implements for the least money at our store. We are headquarters for the most modern field weapons of husbandry in the market. The behind-hand fellows always have a hard time of it. Make farming easy and profit able by using the results of invention we offer at figures on the level. only a few hogs are left. The winter this far is favorable for rye, winter wheat, apples and peaches. The grip epidemic, we believe, was never more annoying than it is at present in this neighborhood. We do not know of any escaping it. Hon. Guy C. Barnum and wife drove out this way Sunday to see the new house, which they are having built on one of their farms. When passing this way they stopped for a moment and looked upon the swollen face and red eyes of ye scribe, who is suffering with a severe case of the grip, at this writing. We are told that the Knollin Bros., of the sheep ranch have leased all the lands in s, sec. 17, t. 17, r. le. The land includes the patch that was planted to beets last year, all of which they will break up this summer and plant to sorghum, and that the 160 acres where they grew sorghum the last two years will be changed to corn this Bpring. Farmers hereabouts are getting a lit tle better fixed each year, while the prospects for being more independent than ever this year, are, to say the least, flattering. With hundreds of healthy, laying chickens at every farm house, and the cows giving a rlow of milk, never before equaled at this season of the year, and then their honey bees, of which most careful farmers have a few, are patiently whiling away the long winter nights, consuming as little as possible of their hard earned winter supply of honey, for last year was the poorest honey flow since 1894. The ground being thoroughly soaked late in fall in sures a large flow of honey this year, so it will be seen that our table will be sup plied with the best that money could buy. Then the apple trees, peach trees, strawberry patch, etc., all in bearing, hip, hip, hurrah! for the rough-handed farmer. lichlaad and Virility. Let us have the rural free delivery. The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Mentzer is quite sick. Miss Tripp of Columbus attended i divine service here Sunday. Ed. Butler and family of Columbus visited relatives here recently. Clint Stevenson spent part of last week visiting relatives at Rogers and Dublin. The Misses Painter of Schuyler spent Sunday here, the guests of Misses Pearl and Jennie Painter. Services will be held in the M. E. church next Sabbath. The ladies' aid society is now able to put up the second stove and paper the building. Martin Hoagland will have another large corn crib erected here to be filled with corn which he is buying for T. E. Wells k Co. of St. Louis. The !rm is feeding 8,000 sheep and 1,300 head of steers this winter and osier 29c per bushel for ear corn, and as there is plenty of corn coming in the second large crib will be built soon. J. X.
