Clair, Postmaster WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1894. Looking for a Location. Colonel Cody came in from the east on No. l" last night. Accom- panying him were B. Singer, of the banking firm of Kopperl & Co., of Chicago, who is also Ass't Com- missioner of Immigration for Ne- braska: Arthur Hansl. secretary to the Commissioner of Immigration lor Nebraska, and Mr. Harmer, president of the First National Bank of Holdrege. These gentle- men visit this city for the purpose of investigating the conditions with the object of locating a beet sugar factory. They control and repre sent an unlimited amount of capital which will be invested in factories of this nature at points possessing favorable opportunities. This morning these gentlemen, accompanied by Colonel Cod, started out to look over the coun- try, test the soil, and make such investigations as necessary, one of the gentlemen having had experi- ence in the growing of beets and the manufacture of sugar in Hungan. The part- - will return this after- noon, and if the' find the countn-olfer- s the proper inducements for locating a factory a meeting of the business men will be called for this evening or At this meeting the gentlemen will submit a proposition, the exact nature of which is not definitely known to the writer other than that they will ask no bonus, but will expect the peo- ple of the city to take a reasonable amount of stock in the factory, and also use their efforts in havinir the farmers raise a sufficient quantity of beets to keep the factory running during the season. It is well worth while for our business men to interest themselves in this matter sufficient to attend the meeting which may be called. and if the proposition proves a fair one, to take hold of the subject and do all in their power to secure the lactory.

Mr. Peattie. one of the leading editorial writers on the World-Heral- d, is in town to-da- y, his object being to gather facts in regard to the destitution of the people of western Nebraska.

Streitz the druggist, has a fine line of Rochester stand and liang-- mg lamps. ay not purchase one as a Christmas present for your wife? Monday morning a fellow riv- - mg his name as S. J. Hoffman and claiming to be a piano tuner called at the Cody residence. Asking Mrs. Cod- - for the privilege of ex- amining her piano, it was granted, and he pronounced the instrument in very bad shape. He was told to go to work and tune it. He worked around it for several hours, pro- nounced the job complete and de- manded thirty-fiv- e dollars. This Mrs. Cody regarded as exorbitant, but rather than have a fuss, paid the sum. Hoffman, on leaving the house, told Mrs. Cody not to touch the piano until the following day. Along toward evening, however. Irma ran her fingers over the keys and was surprised to find that some did not sound. A further examina- tion proved that Hoffman instead of tuninr the instrument had worked damage to it. Mrs. Cody came down town immediately and got out a warrant for Hoffman's arrest. The sheriff found Hoffman at the Pacific Hotel, and after some parleying the latter refunded the money. Hoffman insisted that the piano would be all right in the morning, and was told to call at the Cody home in the forenoon and if the instrument was in good condition the money would be paid back to him. This he promised to do. but during Monday night he sailed for greener fields. Hoffman is un- doubtedly a fraud, and his object in requesting Mrs. Cody not to touch the pianc until the following day was for the purpose of getting out of town before his rascality was discovered. Until Jan. 1st. 1895, we will sell 201bs of granulated sugar for SI. 00, and all other necessaries as corres- pondingly cheap. Harrington & Tomx. THE FOLE Y CASE. The supremo court last week affirmed the decision of Judge Church in the case of T. J. Foley against. W. M. Holtry. This case was tried before Judge Church in the district court three years ago, and the Judge gave a decision canceling the contract and rescinding the deed to proporty which had been traded for stock in the North Platte Milling C. and also gavo tho plaintiff a judgment for SI .000. This ends one of tho most vigorously contested cases ever tried before the dis- trict court of Lincoln rounty. Several month ago tho supreme court decided this case on a technicality in favor of Holtry, and it vas generally supposed that the decision was final. A motion for a rehearing was, however, granted, and upon a of tho case the result, however gratifying it may bo to Mr. Foley and his attorneys, is probably a matter of intense gratification to Judge Churcr. who presided in the court below. The feeling in the case had run high and Judgo Church in arriving at his decision was placed in a delicate position and sure of censure either way ho decided. The justice of his decision was seriously questioned for the. past three years, during which- - tiojle. Judge Church has quietly :waited his vindica- tion. It has come in this decision and the judgment of Judge Church has been upheld by the supreme court at every point. - Koal Spar is the best coal saver on earth.

Our Brady Island correspondent sends the following: On Sunday afternoon while several young men Were shooting at a mark with a revolver at McCullough's ranch, Jerry Long was accidentally shot. It seems that Jim McCullough had been loading the revolver and was in the act of turn- ing around to hand the weapon to one of the boys, when it was accidentally discharged, the ball striking Long in the center of the forehead and rsoging back of the right eye. The young man was conveyed to the house and Doctors Irwin and Smith summoned from Gothenburg. The physicians were unable to locate tho ball and it was decided to send Long to a hospital at Omaha, where he could re- ceive the most skillful treatment. The wound is a dangerous one and there is doubt as to the young man's re- covery. J 8 might be expected, L'mg's companions are much distressed over the unfortunate accident.

Judge Nevillo held court at Lexington last week, having exchanged benches with Judge Holcomb. Though there but a few days, he sentenced four men to the pen. C. B. King, who assaulted and nearly killed a farmer, was given ten years; S. J. Pattie, who had three wives at one time, received a year's sentence, and A. Nelson and Geo. Steinman wore sent up for ono year for committing a burglary at Gothenburg. This makes eight men Judge Neville has sentenced to the penitentiary within the past three weeks, and he will soon be considered as much of a "holy terror to ovil doers'' as was Judge Gaslin in his palmiest days. Marti's unexcelled bread is now sold at five cents a loaf or six loaves for a quarter. - WILL HOLD ANOTHER ELECTION. C. E. Osgood filed with tho county commissioners Monday a petition asking that body to call a special election for tho purpose of the proposi tion to issue bonds in the sum of S10.000 to aid in the construction of the south side ditch. This proposition was sub- mitted last month, but was defeated by a. very small margin. It is believed that at tho coming election, which will be held on tho 7th day of January, the bonds will carry by tho required ma- jority. The ditch will be of benefit to every farmer in tho precincts through which it passes, and tho man who casts a vote against it votes against his own interests. The benefits to be derived will ten fold over balance tho small in- crease in taxes of tho farmers. A LITTLE HISTORY. Tho following letter is y: Richland, Mich., Dc. 3d, 1S94. Rev. J. C. Irwin, North Platti:, Neu. Dear Brother: At our Thanksgiving service we took a collection for sufferers from drought in Nebraska. Will you kindly inform mo who is a suitable person to whom tho money may bo eut for distri- bution and with it a barrel of clothing? If you would kindly give mo tho facts as to the general condition of tho people in your section, I will be much interested to receivo it. I think you must bo in the midst of the region most seriously affected. It may possibly interest you and somo of your people to know that I preached tho first sermon ever preached in your town, holding the first religious service and alio attending tho first funeral and saw the first grave filled iu the cemetery. This was in February, 1SG7. I was then pastor at Black Hawk, Col. I took the stage at Denver for the east and in fifty hours reached North Platte, tiien the terminus of the Union Pacific Rail- road. Tho track was blocked with 6now and I was detained with other passengers five days, from Thursday till the next Tuesday; wo occupied mean- while a passenger car that stood on the track. On Sabbath a melodian was brought from u house; 1 think the only melodian in town; the car was filled and the peo- ple fathered around it, the doors being opened. I held service, playing tho melodian, leading the singing and using the melodian for a pulpit. The next day I was called to tho burial of the first man who had died in the village a laborer whose name I do no remember. There were then 300 or 400 people at North Platte, many of them being rail road employes. The town was started a few months before this. I note with interest your church of 200 members and over eighty additions last year. I heartily rejoice in the work that has fol- lowed that simple service of many years ago. Fraternally yours, TnEo D. Marph. what la Off Sq nea This is very easy answered. When you get them down they always squeal. That is just exactly what's the matter with some of our would-b- o competitors. We've got 'em down, and very bad, too. and aro tramping the supreme stuffing out of them. This you can readily see by tho attacks they have made upon us the past three weeks in the city papers, but we aro iron clad and can stand it all. WE ARE ON THE SOLID ROCK AND THERE TO STAY, while somo of our would-b- e competitors aro on sinking sand and are slowly and gradually. but surely, sinking away. They have mado their last great and mighty attempt to leap out upon the top of that solid rock, but all in vain; they have fallen back back and aro lying all crushed and bleeding, and are dying a slow and horrible death. Poor fellows! We feel sorry for you, for we like to sec all do well. Your goods may bo all right, but your head is not. Your ways won't go here. Better move down on south Clark street, Chicago: you'd be old persimmons there: there you can split cotton batts, make two out of one: there you can split double width goods, mako two yards of one; there you can also acenso your competitors, that you aro buck- ing so hard, of selling shoddy clothing clothing that has been moved around for six years. You can do anything there, your ways are all right for that class of people, for they don't know A from B: all they know is to stand and wranglo and jew you down. There tho business is carried on on tho stylo and system, but that don't go in this western country; might as well give it up, they are all on to you, your cake is dough, for when the peoplo want good, reliable goods, such as Dry Goods, Clothing, Boots, Shoes, Capes and Jackets, they go to THE FAIR STORE, whore they know they can got good, standard and roliablo goods without paying two prices, or being insulted if they do not buy. as they aro being dono by somo dailv Yours respectfully, THE FAIR RICHARD BROS., Proprietors.

It having come to my ears that several parties had been saying around town that I. in connection with others, had circulated certain rumors to the detri- ment of the North Platte National Bank during the past two weeks, I tako this method to denounce said statements as absolutely false and without any found- ation whatover. I hereby chal.ango any of the parties who have circulated such lies to prove to me a single instance wherein I have ever said a single word against the North Platte National Bank or any other business institution of the city. I was informed on December 7th that Herbert Evans told all the officers andsevoral spectators in the froight do pot that ho had information from one individual that "Harrington had warned Mrs. Cody to draw her money out of the bank." As Mrs. Cody had never spoken to me or any of my family or we to her iu an way directly or indirectly regard- ing any bank, I immediately p oceedd to run down the lie. Mrs. Cody and myself drovo to the depot and while she was denouncing to Evans the statement as falso Chas. Brown, from whom Evans said ho got his information, came in. Upon demanding from him his source of information, ho frankly admitted no ono ever told him so, but that the story sprang from his own vivid imagination Now if there aro any more such reports as the foregoing in circulation my friends will confer upon me a great per- sonal favor by bringing thm to my no tico at once that I may have a chanco to run them down. I admit having heard many serious rumors afloat last week about tho bank but did not have any lengthy conversa- tion or go into any of the details of the rumors with any one excepting with an old gentleman friend who spends a great deal of his time in my office and who probably did not have 0 surplus money in any bank and any thing that I might have 8nid to him could not have hurt any" Jlristithti6n, as ourcon-ver-atio- n took place four or five days before the bank closed. It has been said that I am a "minion" of the First Nation?il Bank and that many still look upon me as a competitor just the same as when I was working on salary for tho interest of that bank. I will say that while I havo a most kindly feeling for that financial institu- tion, wherein I spent fivo very pleasant years of my life, they have now no strings on me whatever and no "power'' over me, as many imagine. I most em- phatically deny that I have ever had any hostile feeling against the North Platte National Bank, and regret as much as any one that misfortune has overtaken it. M. C. Harrington.

I I Idnthted atjthe j Why Was It that Ayer's Sarsaparilla. out of the sreat number of similar preparations manufac- tured throushout the. world, was the only medicine, of the kind admitted at the "World' Fair, Chicago? And why was it that, in spito of the united efforts of the manufacturers of other preparations, the decision of the World's Fair Directors was not reversed? BECAUSE According to Iln.n 13 "Articles that ore in any way dangerous or oa offensive, also patent medicines, oj nostrums, and empirical propara- - ?3 tions, whose ingredients are con- - oi cealed. will not be admitted to tho 03 Exposition," and, therefore Btcanse Ayer's Sarsaparilla I? not a patent medicine, not a nostrum, and not a secret preparation.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1894.
Looking for a Location.Colonel Cody came in from the
east on No. l" last night. Accom-panying him were B. Singer, of thebanking firm of Kopperl & Co., ofChicago, who is also Ass't Com-missioner of Immigration for Ne-braska: Arthur Hansl. secretary tothe Commissioner of Immigrationlor Nebraska, and Mr. Harmer,president of the First NationalBank of Holdrege. These gentle-men visit this city for the purposeof investigating the conditions withthe object of locating a beet sugarfactory. They control and represent an unlimited amount of capitalwhich will be invested in factoriesof this nature at points possessingfavorable opportunities.
This morning these gentlemen,accompanied by Colonel Cod,started out to look over the coun-try, test the soil, and make suchinvestigations as necessary, one ofthe gentlemen having had experi-ence in the growing of beets and themanufacture of sugar in Hungan.The part- - will return this after-noon, and if the' find the countn-olfer- s
the proper inducements forlocating a factory a meeting of thebusiness men will be called for thisevening or At thismeeting the gentlemen will submita proposition, the exact nature ofwhich is not definitely known to thewriter other than that they will askno bonus, but will expect the peo-ple of the city to take a reasonableamount of stock in the factory, andalso use their efforts in havinir thefarmers raise a sufficient quantityof beets to keep the factory runningduring the season.
It is well worth while for ourbusiness men to interest themselvesin this matter sufficient to attendthe meeting which may be called.and if the proposition proves a fairone, to take hold of the subject anddo all in their power to secure thelactory.

Monday morning a fellow riv--mg his name as S. J. Hoffman andclaiming to be a piano tuner calledat the Cody residence. AskingMrs. Cod- - for the privilege of ex-amining her piano, it was granted,and he pronounced the instrumentin very bad shape. He was told togo to work and tune it. He workedaround it for several hours, pro-nounced the job complete and de-
manded thirty-fiv- e dollars. ThisMrs. Cody regarded as exorbitant,but rather than have a fuss, paidthe sum. Hoffman, on leaving thehouse, told Mrs. Cody not to touchthe piano until the following day.Along toward evening, however.Irma ran her fingers over the keysand was surprised to find that somedid not sound. A further examina-tion proved that Hoffman insteadof tuninr the instrument hadworked damage to it. Mrs. Codycame down town immediately andgot out a warrant for Hoffman'sarrest. The sheriff found Hoffmanat the Pacific Hotel, and after someparleying the latter refunded themoney. Hoffman insisted that thepiano would be all right in themorning, and was told to call at theCody home in the forenoon and if theinstrument was in good conditionthe money would be paid back tohim. This he promised to do. butduring Monday night he sailed forgreener fields. Hoffman is un-
doubtedly a fraud, and his objectin requesting Mrs. Cody not totouch the pianc until the followingday was for the purpose of gettingout of town before his rascality wasdiscovered.

THE FOLE Y CASE.The supremo court last week affirmed
the decision of Judge Church in the caseof T. J. Foley against. W. M. Holtry.This case was tried before Judge Churchin the district court three years ago, andthe Judge gave a decision canceling thecontract and rescinding the deed toproporty which had been traded forstock in the North Platte Milling C.and also gavo tho plaintiff a judgmentfor SI .000.
This ends one of tho most vigorouslycontested cases ever tried before the dis-
trict court of Lincoln rounty. Severalmonth ago tho supreme court decidedthis case on a technicality in favor ofHoltry, and it vas generally supposedthat the decision was final. A motionfor a rehearing was, however, granted,and upon a of tho case the
result, however gratifying it may bo toMr. Foley and his attorneys, is probablya matter of intense gratification to JudgeChurcr. who presided in the courtbelow. The feeling in the case had runhigh and Judgo Church in arriving athis decision was placed in a delicateposition and sure of censure either wayho decided. The justice of his decisionwas seriously questioned for the. pastthree years, during which- - tiojle. JudgeChurch has quietly :waited his vindica-tion. It has come in this decision andthe judgment of Judge Church has beenupheld by the supreme court at everypoint. -

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.Our Brady Island correspondent sends
the following:On Sunday afternoon while several
young men Were shooting at a mark witha revolver at McCullough's ranch, JerryLong was accidentally shot. It seemsthat Jim McCullough had been loadingthe revolver and was in the act of turn-ing around to hand the weapon to oneof the boys, when it was accidentallydischarged, the ball striking Long inthe center of the forehead and rsogingback of the right eye.
The young man was conveyed to thehouse and Doctors Irwin and Smithsummoned from Gothenburg. Thephysicians were unable to locate tho balland it was decided to send Long to ahospital at Omaha, where he could re-
ceive the most skillful treatment.The wound is a dangerous one and
there is doubt as to the young man's re-
covery. J 8 might be expected, L'mg'scompanions are much distressed overthe unfortunate accident.

A LITTLE HISTORY.Tho following letter is y:
Richland, Mich., Dc. 3d, 1S94.
Rev. J. C. Irwin, North Platti:, Neu.Dear Brother:
At our Thanksgiving servicewe took a collection for sufferers fromdrought in Nebraska. Will you kindlyinform mo who is a suitable person towhom tho money may bo eut for distri-bution and with it a barrel of clothing?If you would kindly give mo tho factsas to the general condition of tho peoplein your section, I will be much interestedto receivo it. I think you must bo inthe midst of the region most seriouslyaffected.
It may possibly interest you and somoof your people to know that I preachedtho first sermon ever preached in yourtown, holding the first religious serviceand alio attending tho first funeral andsaw the first grave filled iu the cemetery.
This was in February, 1SG7. I wasthen pastor at Black Hawk, Col. I tookthe stage at Denver for the east and infifty hours reached North Platte, tiienthe terminus of the Union Pacific Rail-
road. Tho track was blocked with6now and I was detained with otherpassengers five days, from Thursday tillthe next Tuesday; wo occupied mean-
while a passenger car that stood on thetrack.
On Sabbath a melodian was broughtfrom u house; 1 think the only melodianin town; the car was filled and the peo-
ple fathered around it, the doors beingopened. I held service, playing thomelodian, leading the singing and usingthe melodian for a pulpit. The nextday I was called to tho burial of thefirst man who had died in the villagea laborer whose name I do no remember.There were then 300 or 400 people atNorth Platte, many of them being railroad employes. The town was started afew months before this. I note withinterest your church of 200 members andover eighty additions last year. Iheartily rejoice in the work that has fol-
lowed that simple service of many yearsago. Fraternally yours,
TnEo D. Marph.

That is just exactly what's the matter with some of our would-b- o competitors.

ing so hard, of selling shoddy clothing clothing that has been moved around for
six years. You can do anything there, your ways are all right for that class ofpeople, for they don't know A from B: all they know is to stand and wranglo andjew you down. There tho business is carried on on tho stylo and

A DENIAL.It having come to my ears that several
parties had been saying around townthat I. in connection with others, hadcirculated certain rumors to the detri-ment of the North Platte National Bankduring the past two weeks, I tako thismethod to denounce said statements asabsolutely false and without any found-ation whatover. I hereby chal.angoany of the parties who have circulatedsuch lies to prove to me a single instancewherein I have ever said a single wordagainst the North Platte National Bankor any other business institution of thecity. I was informed on December 7ththat Herbert Evans told all the officersandsevoral spectators in the froight dopot that ho had information from oneindividual that "Harrington had warnedMrs. Cody to draw her money out of thebank." As Mrs. Cody had never spokento me or any of my family or we to heriu an way directly or indirectly regard-ing any bank, I immediately p oceeddto run down the lie. Mrs. Cody andmyself drovo to the depot and while shewas denouncing to Evans the statementas falso Chas. Brown, from whom Evanssaid ho got his information, came in.Upon demanding from him his source ofinformation, ho frankly admitted no onoever told him so, but that the storysprang from his own vivid imaginationNow if there aro any more such reportsas the foregoing in circulation myfriends will confer upon me a great per-sonal favor by bringing thm to my notico at once that I may have a chancoto run them down.
I admit having heard many seriousrumors afloat last week about tho bankbut did not have any lengthy conversa-tion or go into any of the details of therumors with any one excepting with anold gentleman friend who spends a greatdeal of his time in my office and whoprobably did not have 0 surplusmoney in any bank and any thing thatI might have 8nid to him could nothave hurt any" Jlristithti6n, as ourcon-ver-atio- n
took place four or five daysbefore the bank closed.
It has been said that I am a "minion"of the First Nation?il Bank and thatmany still look upon me as a competitorjust the same as when I was working onsalary for tho interest of that bank.I will say that while I havo a mostkindly feeling for that financial institu-tion, wherein I spent fivo very pleasantyears of my life, they have now nostrings on me whatever and no "power''over me, as many imagine. I most em-
phatically deny that I have ever hadany hostile feeling against the NorthPlatte National Bank, and regret asmuch as any one that misfortune hasovertaken it.
