The boys saw the carriage in time to swing out to pass it, but Mr. Minnick for some reason or other pulled his horses to one side, when three or four horses ran into him, which frightened his team and upset the vehicle, throwing the occupants out, but fortu- nately did not seriously hurt any of the party. This section was blessed with a little molsture this week in the way of a light rain and snow. Fred Babcock has taken a position in the Fillmore County Democrat office.

The commission has the co-operation of transportation companies and free billing for food, clothing, fuel and provisions, dis- tributing agents centrally located in the vari- ous precincts where suffering exists, with complete lists of destitute families. Con- tributions from the charitably disposed will be as evenly distributed as circumstances will permit. IN THE COURTS. Hilda J. Westberg brings suit in the dis- trict court against Julius Otteps, M. L Moier, P. Kelly, Otto Glacer and McCoogan & Holberg and thelr bondsmen, asking for $10,- 000 damages. She says that she is the wife of John A.

N2 AL FAILLS, titution Clos s Doors to De- positors This Mornigg. ARNEY, Neb., Dec. 13.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The Kearney National bank closed its doors this morning. The liabilities as near can be ascertained now will be about $125,000. The county loses $10,000 and the city $2,000. The suspension was caused by a rumor set afloat three or four days ago, when a couple of the directors made large transfers of prop- erty and a steady pulling out since then rather than a sudden or unexpected run Nono of the business houses have closed so far and there are no indications of & run on the other banks. Ashilas 1 the Ico Pond, ASHLAND, Neb, Dec. 13.—Special)— There 15 a lull in the Swift and Company ice plant agitation. There is a rumor afloat o the effect that Swift and Com- pany are negotiating for the pur- chase of the mill, with the intention of putting in a feed grinding establishment. At present their ice pond is useless, as the inlet gate is fully eight feet above the normal water of the Wahoo and the pond can omly bo filled from above the dam. A petition is In circulation asking the city council to call a special election to vote bonds to build an electric light plant to be owned by the eity in case the mill company refuses to fill the ice pond of Swift and Company for & reasonable compen:ation.

Helen Gray flled her petition in the Dodge county district court yesterday asking for a divorce from James R. Gray on the grounds of desertion and nonsupport. The couple were married in March, 1893. The people living in the factory district of Fremont are anxious to have a school estab- | lished there. A prominent real estats firm offers to donate lots for a site, and to move a frame school house that belongs to the dis- trict thereon and place a foundation under it free of charge. A meeting has been held and a committee of seven appointed to wait on the Board of Rducation and urge their claims. The people of that neighborhood are impelled to make this move because of the long distance their children now have to go to attend echool. The matter was Dbrought up some months ago, but was put off by the school board on the ground that the district could not afford to establish a school there at the time. The Dodge County Board ommenced a session yes The prin- cipal business transacted has been the ap- proving of bonds of officers-elect and the al- lowance of claims against the county. Sherift Milliken returned yesterday from Crawford, Neb., where he went after Walter Hand, who is wanted for trial here for re- moving mortgaged property from the county. Hend was not at Crawford, and his where- abouts are unknown. He was captured last summer and bound over for trial, the offic of a Fremont bank becoming his surety on re- quest of a bank at Crawford. Now the bank at Crawford has suspended, Hand has proba- bly skipped out, and it looks as if the Fre- mont parties will have to pay the bail bond it it s forfeited. ORGA t Supervisors D COKN THIEVES, Washington County Farmers Robbed of a Scarce Article by the Wagon Load. BLAIR. Neb, Dec. 13.—(Special Tele- gram.)—For some time the farmers in this county have been losing corn by the wagon load. W. G. Harrison's farm has been visited twice. Tuesday night Watson Tyson lost a load. Last night two of the organized gang, Charley Lewls and Charley Bovee, were caught stealing corn from & farmer north of this city and are locked up. There are others in the gang, and before the game fs out Sheriff Mencke and a deteetive expect to get the balance. Some lightning rod flends have been dup- ing some of the farmers in the county the lust week, and skipped last night after dark. Suckers still bite for from §75 to $150 worth of rods, and find thelr order is & promis- sory note. FALLS CITY, Neb, Mrs. Almedia Wilson died of old age at her residence In this city yesterday. She was 78 years and 3 days old. She leaves a son and three grandchildren to mourn her death. Funeral services from the Methodist church Friday, December 14, at 2 o'clock p. m. | requested | five, zations invited to send delegates will give the matter the attention its importance de- mands. The governor of the state has been to appoint twenty delegates-at- large, and the State Board of Agriculture, the state labor commissioner, the State uni- versity and Agricultural coliege ten delegates each. Presidents of farmers' institutes, granges, other societies connected with the develop- ment of agricultural interests are entitled to ten delegates each. Each sectional irriga- tional assoclation is entitled to fifteen dele- gates and all its officers, a&d each local asso- | ciation ten delegates in addition to its off. cers, Cities are entitled to ten delegates each, appointed by the mayors, and villages five; boards of trade and commercial clubs and colleges and labor organizations three each. The State Irrigation association is at pres- ent composed almost exclusively of farmers 3,000 being enrolled. The purpose of the asso- clation is to encourage and enlighten its members on the best means of utiiizing the water supply available for agriculture. Re- peated crop failures attest the hopelessness | of dependence on rains. Irrigation Is the one | positive and reliable road to agricultural pros- perity in western Nebraska. This being| universally conceded, the questlon arises how best to utilize the supply of water available 5o as to do the greatest good for the greatest number., This and all relativg questions will be con- sidered by the convention. request will undoubtedly be responded to generally. As the ‘committee In charge de- clare: “It is a stalght bread and butter question, and there is no question that ex- cels or compares to the food supply for our- selves and our little ‘ones. Irrigation will safely solve this question, for irrigation en- sures a crop every year." Another important object of the convention is to bring together representatives of all classes and conditions in the state. Nebraska is primarily an agricultural state. The pros- perity of all other interests depend on abund- ant crops. The lesson of this year's failure pervades every branch of; business. It touches the pockets of the manufacturer and employe, diminishes the receipts of the jobber and re- tailer. Its blighting toeh has enfeebled the currents of commercial and industrial life It is manifest, therefore, that any priject calculated to prevent a repetition of disaster forcibly appeals to every patriotie citizen, That frrigation will accomplish all that Is claimed for it there is no doubt. It is slmply & question of adequate laws to encour- age and means to accomplish the ends sought The Irrigation association urgently appeals to business men to participate in the conven- tion, to the end that the cause so vitally connected with the common welfars will re- celve active and intelligent support. The rallroad will carry delegates at half rates, Saloon Keepers Arrested.

NORFOLK, Neb., Dec. 13.—(Special Tele- gram.)—A home industry banquet was given by the Nebraska Manufacturers’ and Con- sumers' assocation to the business men of Norfolk and surrounding towns in this city tonight. The usual program of having only business men present was here changed and business men’s wives, daughters and sweet- hearts were invited, which resulted in the gathering of & large and brilliant company in the Mast hall. The Masonic fraternity ten- dered the use of their commodious lodge room adjoining Mast hall for the reception of vis- itors, while the Norfolk orchestra furnished music for dancing in the hall.
