J. F. Siems, the inventor of the
natural hen incubator, was a business
visitor to this office last Saturday. Few
people know the extent of business Mr.
Siems transacts on his farm four miles
east of Platte Center. Several years ago
he invented what he calls the "Natural
Hen Incubator" and which, through a
thorough system of advertising, has
made him a rich man. Esstern agencies
are employed to superintend and con
tract with papers and periodicals for
their space. Mr. Siems tells us that his
advertising, in one year, amounts to over
$500. He advertised in 200 or more
periodicals, 30 ot which were poultry
papers. His mail reaches up to as high
as 800 letters daily. At his borne on the
farm Mr. Siems has four printing presses
which he usee for printing his literature,
part of the time running all at once.
Last Saturday he received word that a
patent had been granted him for a
"Thermoetet" an invention of Mr. Siems
for the regulation of heat in an artificial
incubator, which he baa had in mind for
about a year and a half. The Ther
mostet" is contrived with alcohol and
mercury and is so simple in construction
that it seems surprising that something
of the kind has not been thought of
before. As soon as arrangements can be
made Mr. Siems will contract for the
manufacture and aale of the "Ther
moetet'' which be has great faith in
being a success. He saya he believes it
can be put on the market for f 1 apiece.
While in the city of Washington. V. C
last fall, Mr. Siems purchased a fine res
idence property and expects at some
future time he will move to that city to
make hie home.
The trial of Mrs. Lena M. Lillie in
David City, who is charged with the
crime of murdering her husband, is still
in progress, and will probably be contin
ued through this week. While Mrs.
Lillie ia beginning to fully realize the
gravity of the awful crime with which
she is charged, she is standing the ordeal
with remarkable fortitude. Counsel for
the state consider that they scored a
strong point with the witnesses who were
on the stand, Dr. S. C. Beede, Dr. H. R
Burdick and J. D. Sprague. These are
the best witnesses for the prosecution
that have yet been introduced. The
attomeya say their beat and strongest
evideaee is yet to eome and that they
have plenty of it The revolver which
was unintentionally brought into court
is said to have been found by Sheriff
West ia the commode drawer on the
moraing of the marder. There were
four cartridges ia.it, two empty and two
loaded. It is a S2ahore long, and the
ballets bow ia evideaee fit this revolver.
Tha revolver will be more fsJly idea tiled
by the ahariff aad offered in evidence.
The attoraeya lor the state say this is
possibly the pistol with which the crime
waseommitted. It is also churned that
this revolver was the property of Mr.

of the egg crates. Every one knows that

The Commercial club of Schuyler
have called a meeting for this Wednes
day to consider aa offer from J.F.Ritter
an expert packer of canned goods who
offers to invest 110,000 in a plant in
Schuyler providing a company can be
organised that wiU furnish 115,000 or
125,000 more. The estimated profits on
such n plant are from 30 to 40 per cent
to the investor. The QuUl says: "Dur
ing the existence of the Blair concern
the entire Sanson's pack has been sold
each year before the goods were boxed.
The last carload of this season's output
was shipped from Blair before Christ
mas. Mr. Bitter has the assurance from
Omaha jobbers that they will contract
for all the goods he can pack; the job
bers knowing his reputation. It ia the
oustom of a canning factory to contract
with farmers to buy all the corn they
raise before the seed is planted, and corn
for canning is n sure crop in Nebraska,
as it is harvested before the time dry
weather usually affects grain. The
usual price paid for green corn is 15 a
ton and three tons to an acre can safely
be relied on." Columbus wUl be glad to
aee Schuyler a prosperous factory town
in another year.
District court convened Monday
afternoon for the Borchers murder trial,
and within three hours a jury was
selected. The jurymen are August
Boettcher, John Deegan, J. F. Belf ord,
Z. T. Moran, H. L. Euneman, Henry
Gearing, John Finger, Lucius Hunge
ford, T. C. Hogan, Gus Ernst David
Schupbach and Gus Hslgrean. Herman
and Charles Borchers are young boys,
either one looking under twelve years
old. Tuesday morning the younger boy
Charles, was put on the witness stand.
He seemed perfectly unconscious of the
enormity of the crime, and in answering
the questions put by the county attorney.
Wm. O'Brien, told what has already been
given to the public of the shooting of
their father by his brother Herman Ger
hard Borchers on the farm near Hum
phrey, last August; how that the older
brother not yet 14 years old, shot the
father in the back of the head, hauled
the body to a straw stack where it with
the stack wsa burned. The attorneys
for the boys will make the defense that
the testimony of Charles should not be
considered in the case as he is not res
ponsible, being too young. The court
room was crowded this morning and
scarcely a whisper or sound could be
heard while the young boy almost whis
pered the answers to questions put
to him.
Word was received here Saturday of
the death of Andrew Esston, the aged
father of C. S. Esston of this city. Mr.
Esston left here n few days before Christ
mas for a visit to Denver and LeadviUe,
and no intimation of bis ill health had
been given until a telegram teUingof his
death was received Saturday. A letter
written later stated that he died sud
denly and peacefuUy at 3 o'clock Satur
day morning. Mr. Esston was born
November 6, 1819. in Onondago, New
York. Later he came to Marengo, Illi
nois, where he lived many years. He
was married March 20, 1855, and by this
union six children were born. Mrs.
Esther Corey of Wisconsin, Mrs. Emma'
Eckhardt of Laadville, (at whose home
the deceased passed away), Bert, living
south of Columbus and Charles of this
city, survive him. Albert Pike, also of
this city, was a step-son of the deceased.
Mr. Easton had made bis home in and
near Columbus for the past thirteen
years. He was alwaya known as an
unasuming, honest man, and lived the
life of n true christian. He was a devout
Methodist and until his bearing failed
him was a faithful attendant at church.
The remains were brought through Co
lumbus Moadsy night accompanied by
Mra. Eckhardt of LeadvUle. From here
the two eons, Charles and Bert, accom
panied their sister to Marengo, Illinois,
where interment wUl be made. Peace
to bis memory.

Miss Cowdery's experience on the boat
was no worse and that the ending was a
happy one." The young lady referred

Columbus and is remembered by many

Thursday's Omaha World-Herald
had the following in regard to the A. V.
Miller bribery case, in which many
Columbus people have been interested,
as Mr. Miller formerly resided here:

offer no testimony, but was ready to go
to the jury without delay. The state
desired to argue the case, however, and

had done some things that he himself
would not have done, and of which he
did not approve, bat that there was no
bribery ooaaected with it. Arrange
ments were made by the eourt to receive
