Below we quote from a telegram appearing in this (Tuesday) morning's Omaha World-Herald, which was sent from Union, Nebraska. Mr. Gerrard a few years ago was a Columbus type setter, and is well known to Columbus and Monroe people where he haa lived all his life. Laat February Mr. Gerrard lost his newspaper plant at Elba, it being destroyed by fire: "Editor Graves ia in receipt of a letter from a Mrs. C. A. Gerrard of Bellwood, Nebr, asking for a fuller description of the body and clothes worn by the man who committed suicide here last Friday. Mrs. Gerrard says she read the story of the suicide in the World-Herald, and believes the ivnn was her missing husband, whom, she writes, left Elba, Nebr., February 27, and has not been seen since that time by herself or friends." Last Saturday, house roll 106 by Mr. Bacon appropriating 350,000 for the sinking of eight experimental wells, to prospect for petroleum, passed the house without the emergency clause. It will be remembered that in this bill five towns are mentioned as probable places for the sinking of these wells, one of which is Columbus. It is now import ant that our citizens take immediate steps to secure this, should the bill pass the senate. There are several points m Platte county that indicate unusual con ditions. Another interesting bill which passed the house Saturday, provides for a bonus of $5,000 for the location of a vein of coal three feet thick, and $15, 000 for an oil well that will produce fifty barrels per day for sixty consecutive days. House roll 174. also passed the house, the widow's right of dower bill, which gives widows of intestates one half of all real estate held in fee simple. The Clarke Enterprise observes that the good people of Nance county are up against a queer proposition, and that several attorneys are threatened with nervous prostration in trying to figure out a solution to the difficulty. Peti tions are in circulation to vote bonds in big blocks to put in three substantial iron bridges at Fullerton. Genoa and Palmer. This proposition seems to meet with general favor as the wooden struc tures heretofore used have shown a provoking tendency to wander away which makes them expensive. But the trouble is that the statutes forbid the bonding of a county for more than one specific purpose and there you are! If they vote on the Fullerton bridge prop osition first, for instance, Genoa and Palmar, being rival towns, would turn out to a man and vote it down for fear it wouldn't come out right later on and vice versa. It's a queer mess at best, and will require some good figuring to get around. Mrs. Nancy Mc Whirr died Monday of bmt week at the home of her daughter Mrs. C E. Morrow in Grand Prairie township, sged 86 years and 3 mouths, death having been caused from compli cation of troubles from which she has suffered since last November. Vrw.
