Glass calls attention to the arteaisawell
enterpriee in or near Monroe. Several
years ago Monroe people had a hole dug
580 feet below the surface, but failed to
find oil, mineral or artesisn water. A
few of the citizens there are confident
that something worth digging for is
under the surface, owing to peculiar cou
ditiona which exist and now that experts
have declared that Nebraska lies in an
oil belt Mr. Gerrard calls upon interest
ed parties to push developments. He
esys: The Commercial Club of Colum
bue ehould take tbie matter up. There
ie little to lose snd fair prospect of large
gain. There ie hardly a laborer in Co
lumbus or Monroe that will not put in
n dollar or two to help the experiment
money to be refunded if the bonds car
ried. The Lynch well cost fonr dollars
per foot snd there ie no reason why it
should cost more here. It might be well
to organize n company in case the county
did not vote the aid, and secure the right
to coal or oil, every man to hold shares
in proportion to the money invested;
shares to be $1.00 each would sell rapid
ly. Let the Commercial Club call a
meeting if they do not feel inclined to
start the move otherwiee.

Eben H. Smith has brought suit in

of language injurious to his character.
He sues for $20,000, entered ns two
separate charges of $10,000 each, and
makes the First National Bank aad
Peter Luehsinger, their cashier, partiee

payable to the order of hie wife. As n
mesne of identification Mr. Smith had
Conductor Fox of the Norfolk passenger
train endorse the draft The bank cash
ier refused to cash it saying they were
not familiar with the signature of Mr.
Fox, and be then went to the Commer
cial National bank where he obtained
the money. After leaving the First
National bank, the officials suspected
that Smith answered the description of
one Carl Anderson for whom a reward of
$100 ie offered by Chief Donahue of
Omaha, and immediately Chief Hagel
was notified and Smith was put under
arrest bnt wss not placed in jail. The
wires were kept busy between here snd
Omaha for about three hours, when it
wss made fully satisfactory to all con
cerned that Mr. South wss not the party

The Lincoln Journal on last Wed
nesday announced that expert account
ante who had been investigating the
adjutant general's accounta had discov
ered a shortage in the accounta during
the term of J. N. Kilian, now n captain
in the regular army in the Philippines.
The Linooln Star defends Mr.' Kilian by
publishing the following explanation,
and hie Columbus friende will nope that
no serious charges can be found against
his record: "Expert Accountant Horace
Wiggins will begin work upon the inves
tigation of the records of the adjutant
general's office within tbe next few daye
and until tbe investigation is made no
authentic announcements of possible
shortages in previous administrations of
the office can be made. Contrary to the
report published in n morning paper, no
atartling disclosures have been made
concerning a shortage during the admin
istration of Adjutant General Kilian, at
present an officer in tbe regular army.
An inspection of the books kspt by Gen
eral Kilian snowed Tuesday morning,
that but two items were charged against
the former official. One of these ie for a
uniform for the general's colored orderly
and amounta to $8135. The other ie for
a pair of military trousers snd some
cloth, purchased by Adjutant General
Kilian from tbe state's stores snd
amounta to $11.51. Both items sre
charged by the general to himself, in the
cash book of the office, and the entries
are in Kilian's own handwriting. These
items are the only ones on which a charge
aright be based, as far aa known, and
there ie nothing to indicate that they
were not paid before Kilian's successor
appointed.''

Union Central Life Insurance Co.,
Lincoln and Omaha, Nebr.
Gentlemen: I am today in receipt of
your Company's draft for 82062.12, in
full payment of my 10 A. P. Life Rate
Endowment policy matured. This policy
was taken twenty years ago today, and I
have invested $1311.40, which leaves me
a profit of $750.72, besides my twenty
years' protection. If the Company is
given credit for the actual cost of tbe
insurance I have an investment in this
policy of about 5 per cent.
I believe this is the first of your Co
lumbus policies to mature, of which you
have a large number in force. I carry
another policy in the Union Central, as
well as each of my two sons. I have a
very high opinion of the Company, and
after twenty years' business relations
with the Company, I have no hesitation
in recommending it to any one desiring
ssfe aad profitable insurance. Wishing
you success, I am
Yours very truly,
