where skill would have removed
offensive causes. After an investiga
ton of the ways and means used by
him, We are led to the belief that it
superiority consists in the following
points: 1st. Partial embalming il
not expensive. 1t is not more so thar
rude methods, ice boxes and the like
I'd. 1t secures complete control o.
all contagious or offensive emsnationl
and is q perfect disinfectant. Tht
fluid used is harmless to human life,
and prevents the decomposition in
the tissues of the dead body, when
fully embalmed. Sd. The features
of the dead are relieved of all rigidity
and are brought to an appearance as
nearly natural as can be easily suppos.
ed to exist in state of death. 4th. L,
leads to q greater regard for the nee.
essary care IN preparing the remains
for last resting place. The wishes
of friends can be carried out with
safety, when such require the keeping
Of the corpse any special length OF
time. Lastly. The process of en-
balming may be complete or partial.
BY partial we mean the prevention OF
decomposition during period of time
varying from two days to six months.
The permanent process is more ex-
pensive, but is method often en-
ployed.
The vending of useful article re-
suits in a benefit to the community
at large. The dealings of an extern
sive business call into exercise the
best elements of society, and is pro-
motive of industy and frugality.
Such were the the thoughts which oc-
cured to US when reviewing the
activities which are supported by
the union of interests, wherin
NEssRs. TAYLOR, Schultz 1 CO.
are the proprietors of an extensive
lumber yard, capacious elevator and
large coal sheds, and the progressive
farmers of central Nebraska the pat
rons. It seems to us that there is
nothing that is in itself better calcu-
lated to foster the spirit of improve
ment than this enterprise. The men
directly employed by them are con-
tented and prosperous in such labor,
everything tending towards comfort
able homes and permanency. Their
customers have the satisfaction of re-
ceiving valuable aids in making farm
life successful, for q reasonable COM
pensstion. To fully appreciate the
benefits to the public such establish
ments must be viewed in a liberal
spirit. When We call to mind the
many ways in which contributions
are made by them for general i'm
provements, the help given towards
sch ools, city and county interests, and
the more general social influence ex-
erted on the state of society through
matured plans for its elevation and
We also remember that
this state of affairs combines mutual
influences which lead to the success
of their undertaking. Messrs. Tay-
lor, Schultz & Company have and are
worthy of public confidence, and their
just treatment of those with whom
they deal is realized by the people of
Platte and adjoining counties. Fer
the benefit Of recent settlers we have
made these comments. Elevator,
yards and Office near B. Il M. depot.
wM. BECKER,
of the o. X. Store, dealer
in staple and fancy groceries, &C., has
now fine assortment in stock. The
good judgment exercised in selecting
goods has placed him above ordinary
and his affability and
efforts to please his customers, has
brought him large patronage. The
inducements offered by him are such
as are consistent with honorable ex-
change. The integrity of Mr.. Il. is
unquestioned, and his dealings are
fair and scrupulously just. His long
in the grocery and prOvis-
ion trade have fitted him to take a
leading position among our city deal
ers. 1t is but justice to the readers of
the JOURNAL that men of reliable
business habits, with an interest in
the town which ia shown by partici-
patton in public enterprises, should
be brought before the people in the
most avOrable manner. We do not
hesitate to commend Mr.. VIM. Becker
to their consideration. His record as
q man and merchant is good. His
success in business has been the re-
suit of wise plans faithfully carried
out. Remember the location, near 3.

PROVISIONS, DRY GOODS, sc.
The tact used in the selection of
stock of goods is an element of great
to the merchant, and the
same gift in ordinary purchases is
often the greatest evidence of success.
Men who have begun their mercan-
tile career with moderate or mesger
capital directly invested, have found
This talent their greatest dependence,
aside from the reputation of honor
able dealings.
MR.. J. B. DELSMAN
has demonstrated the fact that small
faithfully used, will lead
TO results commensurate with the
care with which the undertaking is
begun and continued. Comparisons
Of present stock of goods, buildings,
custom and other points of interest,
will show that an unusual growth
has been made in bis case. His teas,
coffees, spices, fruits, canned and
dried, are of the very best quality.
The variety of staple and fancy
groceries is ample for the needs of
The trade. Dress goods and the
commoner articles usually found in
dry goods stores, of the latest styles,
are kept; the prices fair, and the
quality unquestioned! A supply of
hats and caps, boots and shoes, con.
,tantly on hand. Full measure, just
weights, and everything as repre-
,ented. Gentlemsnly clerks, and
prompt delivery teamster. These
are the remarks made by the numer-
BUS patrons of this store. Prompt
ness and reliability are the basis of
Mr.. DIS. success in business.
