W. H. Illian of Albion, for three terms state senator from this district, died at his home in Albion last week after a long illness. Farmers in the vicinity of Stanton cut 270 tons of ice from a lake near there and stored it for use on the farms next summer. The Nebraska State bank of O'Neill closed Tuesday morning. The city still has two strong banks. The closed bank was a small one, compared with the two others in the city. In the absence of a bank in Meadow Grove, the merchants of that place have banded together and by an arrangement with a Battle Creek bank are able to cash and handle checks. Clearwater Record: B. M. Macauley while starting his car in a closed garage Wednesday morning was overcome by monoxide gas. His wife discovered his condition and got him in the house where he soon recovered from the effects of the poisonous fumes. Humphrey Democrat: Geo. B. Cronkleton arrived here the latter part of last week to take charge of the First National bank as receiver. He will be assisted by S. B. Coombs. The gentlemen have been busy checking up the affairs of the institution but no statement has been given out for publication. Elgin Review: Epolit Beelart brought to the Review office this week a Bible which was, printed at Louvain, Belgium, in January, 1599, and which has now been in existence 331 years. It has been passed down from one generation to another, but it is still in very good shape and should be good for many more years. This Bible was brought to America by the great-grandmother of Mr. Beelart, and was then passed down through several \more generations to its present owner. An interesting feature of the book is the unusually strong binding and heavy cover. Tilden Citizen: Cary Cunningham had a narrow escape from death last Thursday from inhaling gas escaping from a gasoline engine. Mr. Cunningham was assisting his wife with the family washing. They were working in the wash house with the doors closed while the gas engine furnished the power to run the machine. Mrs. Cunningham first complained of dizziness and a queer feeling. Mr. Cunningham persuaded her to go to the house and lie down while he remained to finish the washing. In a short time ho began to feel dizzy and opened the door to get fresh air. He sat down on box near the door and a moment later fell back over the box unconscious. It was thus his sons found him. They carried him outside and finally succeeded in partially resuscitating him. He was taken to the house and a physician called, who soon had him on the way to recovery. Mr. Cunningham is not anxious to repeat his experience and will hereafter see that there is plenty of ventilation while the gas engine is working. Elgin Review: A cigarette stub or lighted match carelessly thrown into a waste paper receptacle in the men's toilet room at the court house resulted in a blaze one day last week that might have caused heavy damage. The fact that the waste paper receptaele was a large ton container is probably what saved the county from another bad fire. The absence of ventilation from the bottom of the container forced the fire to work from the top down and so it did not get a very brisk start. Just the same the wall above the container was scorched and had it been an open wicker basket the results might have been different. The incident ought to serve as warning to cigarette users not to throw away their cigarette stubs and matches with reckless disregard for porperty. Niobrara Tribune: A flock of five meadow larks decided to stay all winter with us this winter in spite of the severe cold and snow. Probably they have a homestead somewhere along the river bluffs or bottoms and did not want to run the risk of contest. Or maybe since the meadow lark has become the state bird they are demonstrating their right to the title by staying in the northernmost limits of the state. Anyway they are here and have slept, or roosted I guess they call it or possibly perching for somnolent recreation, in a shed at the eastend of town and on bright days they are seen perched on the haystacks in Wm. Marshall's hay meadow. They are very quiet and philosophical in their demeanor now and do not venture to perch upon a fence post and warble their full-throated notes as is their custom later in the spring. Ewing Advocate: William F. Pollock called at The Advocate office last Thursday morning and celebrated his 65th year at the printer's trade by sticking up some ads for us before we went to press. "Uncle Billy. as he is familiarly known to his Ewing friends, started to work at the printer's trade sixty-five years ago last Thursday morning, when he started as an apprentice on the Hollidaysburg, Pa., Register at Hollisdaysburg, Pennsylvania. His next job was on the Altoona, Pa., Tribune, where he accepted a place in the job department, which specialized in printing railroad schedules for the Pennsylvania railroad. In 1875, he moved to Jersey City and later worked in a job shop on Wall street. From there he went to Harrisburg and Pittsburgs, Pa., and later came to Nebraska, where he worked on different Ewing publications for over thirty years. He also worked for some time at Elfala, Indian Territory, now Oklahoma, for George Raker, afterwards returning to Ewing, where he has since made his home. Mr. Pollock informed us that he set the first stick of type that was ever set in Orchard Nebraska, having been employed by Jas. Butler on the Orchard "Public Opinion," which later was consolidated with a paper at Neligh. Mr. Pollock is still quite active for a man of his years, and can "hand neg" as much type in a day as the best of them. We still count him as part of the Advocate force, and whenever we get caught in jam, we send an S. O. S., call for "Uncle Billy," and he immediately comes to our rescue.
