The stoek and grain marketsat this point are very important. What impresses the stranger is the high grade of stock raised. Two large elevators are required to accommodate the grain trade. The business men of North Loup are above the average; intelligent, neat, pushing and having the goods and capi: tal to secure success, Without intention to be partial we must mention the drug store owned and operated by W.

His furniture is modern in style, his stock complete, and in design, decoration and order his store evinees a taste that does its owner proud, Mr. Patty was formerly from Omaha, holds a diploma, is a gentleman and a druggist, and the town feels justly proud of his establishment. It is refreshing to find such a store. The usual frontier drug store consists of n few cans of paint, a keg of whisky and four acres of clieck The public sehools of North Loup are the pride of Valley county.

Coffutt's Néw York Letter: The true story of the lgan;of $150,000 by W. H. Vanderbilt to Gen. Grant has never been told—only suggestions and intimations of it here and there. The facts below nar rated came directly from the prineipal parties in interest, both now dead, and their agents in the affair. On Sunday, May 4, 1884, Gen. Grant drove, with his son Col. Fred, to the Vanderbilt mansion, ighted and hobbled in with difficulty, supported by his son and hiserutehes, He 1 not met Mr. nderbilt in two year: but he was received warmly. He' went to the errand without nh'h\P’, stating that he wanted to exchange his check for $150,000 for a similar one for the same amount for oné day; that the firm of Grant & Ward was iemporarily, pinched, but that it had assets of 1,500,000 above all liabilities, and that he himself was rich, having a fortune of not less than £i00,000 beyond all of his obligations Mr, Vanderbilt said: “General, if a firm having so much propert= is embarrassed, $150,000 qor one day cannot help it; in fact, it will only sérve to increase s trouble”—for the business man saw what the military man did not see, that a need of such a peculiar sort fore- shadowed a disaster, and that the mon would_ probably be lost. The general was a little impatient, but he exvlained that plenty of money was coming in on Tuesday from various sources. which he began to mention, when Mr. Vanderbilt s(u[lm--(l him abruptly and said, “Gen- , not a word of explanation! The fact that you want the money is enough for . “You ean have i And going to he drew his cheek and handed it and took his tor's check in ex- ny anderbilt’s cheek was pr sented and paid at 9:45 the next morn- ing; the other went to protest. Then wme the revelation; the confirn on; the cataclysm. The Grants were ruined. he mitlion and a half had faded away; the seven hundred thousand had vanished like And now asingular thing happened; or, rather, a singulir omission oecurred —to use a Hibernicism of my esteemed fore- fathers. Gen. Grant forgot to call on Mr. Vanderbilt or to write to him, or to nd any word to him, An ordinary business man, accustomed to the way of the commercial world, would not Lave neglected this important eeremony His fivst act would have been to go to his creditor and say,1 “I was deceived and hay unwitjingly deceived you. I thought Lhad the, moncy in bank, but I hadn't. My Sortu sgone, 1 will re- imburse you the be Lean.” The suflicientexcuse for Gen. Grant is that he was Yrulmhl unned by the duplicity of wh he v the yietim, and ds y the ruin it wrbught. So da, ened into we 1l weeks into months, and Mr. Vanderbilt did not bear from lim. ‘Then, whew it was reported fo him that the sherif whs , for the creditors of the firm, his house: lands, his swordg and ' sclivenirs sell them at auction, Gen.

Mr., Vanderbilt's is the only debt of honor I owe. 1 will se- cure him, and he will, perhaps, protect the things of historie value. So the transfer was made. There is sguising the fa:t that at first th thy creditor did not fecl cordially toward his cent debtor. He felt, as any one would have felt, that some ex- plination was due him; and it was not till later that he comprehended how the frn t warrior had been broken down by iis reverses OT HIS USUAL METHOD. Mr. Vanderbilt had never before ex- changed cheeks with any man—a trans- action which is,commonenough in bu ness circles generally, “When I give, I give,” he was in the habit of saying id I know where my money isi and when Llend, I lend, on securitics or con- ditions tha isfactory to me exchanging checks is not legitinate ing nor lending, and L prefer to keep bhusiness and sentiment in two separate baskets.” kFrom the first—or, at s e, as s00n as he that Gen. G felt right about the obligation—Mr. Va derbilt made up his mind to give him the money, if a way could be found to do it which would not be damaging to the rep- utation of the illustrious recipient. l{u tried it, as is well known. On January 10, 1885, he wrote, offering all the prop- yto Mrs. Grant. On the same day Gen.Grant wrote declining it The next day the offer was rencwed, Vunderbilt aying he was not to _be balked in his de- ‘mination. That afternoon Gen.

Just before his death, Gen. Grant expressed to Mr, Depew his vehement resolve to have the “debt of honor’ paid to the last cent. It was generally sup- posed that he was poor at this time; but clining such is far from being the Ccase. He was in reccipt of #$13,000 a year from the Grant fund, | and of §13,000 mor from his alary as generdl, to which position he had been restored—$206,000 a year in all, or 500 a weeks @here are a good many families that’ mignage to struggle along on even less thing that.
