LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 0.-Sometling of
sensation was created this morning by
the announcement that the Capital Loan
and Investment Company, with capital
stock OF $40 900, 900, had resolved at It's
meeting last night TO go into voluntary
liquidation. The company was organized
about six months ago by some specula-
tors, who managed to sell stock to a large
number of the best business men in this
city and State.
II. +. Aibers, the secretary and mana
ger, gives as the reason for the failure
that nearly all the stockholders who had
paid their assessments wanted larger
loans than they could be accommodated
with. A stockholder In Tennessee, hav.
ing SI0,C worth OF stock, paid In So, 500
and quit. This seems TO have precip'-
tatcd the rush. Other reasons Tor the
failure are given by different persons.
The stockholders Will do well ii they get
% per cent. on what they have already
paid.

Correspondence of the Republican.
BETHEL, Dec. Give have remarkable
weather in this county, only eighty-seven
miles from Wilmington. The coldest
weather this year has not made ice thick.
er than common window glass, and
very little at that. The weather has
been mostly warm and 10 now as pleasant
as May. No snow as yet.
Capt. John Baker, of Berlin, Md. was
the ilrst to land bis schooner here for the
winter. There will be about twelve or
fifteen here this month or soon 10 JAN
uary, to harbor till Spring. This is a
safe place for boats, and cost nothing to
take care of them. Some of the captaius
harbor wherever they can when 1t be.
comes too cold to sail, but have man on
board to take care of them.
This is rather hoglsh place, for many
OF the animals that produce pork are
raised here. Nearly every family raise
two or three, and think 1t is great ne
cessity, and almost ruined without them.
During this and the past week there has
been general slaughtering of the ami.
mails. The highest weight of any thus
tar killed was raised by Robert Spicer,
weighing five hundred and sixteen pounds;
Others weighed nearly Ave hundred, and
many over three hundred.
The Methodist Episcopal churches on
this, Bethel charge, are preparing for
Christmas. There are usually two trees,
one for the children, and one for presents
for friends. There is as high as three
hundred dollars worth OF presents on the
latter, sometimes. When the names are
called out It produces considerable mer-
riment and praise.
The protracted meeting at Mount Zion,
on this charge, still continues. Many
have been converted, mostly heads OF
families some as old as seventy seven
years. The pastor has been laboring
NEARLY ten weeks, and appears as strong
as when he began. OCCASIONAL.

A Pertinent Inquiry.

A four-year-old miss created q good
deal of CONSERVATION, not unmixed
with amusement, in a small social cir
Gle up town. She had been on visit
TO her grandfather, and while there
was in the habit OF playing with him
as he lay. half asleep. on the sofa.
One day as her chubby fingers glided
caressingly over tho old gentleman's
scant locks he murmured drowsily. in
reply to some infantile remark: "Yes,
I'm your poor old bald-headed grand
father" One evening not long after
ward n young-oid bachelor was max
ing a call on the family, toward a
certain member Of which. only eigh.
teen and decidedly pretty, he inclined
with very tender feelings. Into the
pleasant circle where the bachelor sat
flashing bright nothings of society talk
entered the four-year-old. Unseen by
the gentleman she sauntered around
the room inspecting him, and gazed
with especial interest on his polished
scalp. which CLEANED in the light Of
the chandelier. Suddenly. with burst
Of ingenious sociability, she said:

The GraphophOne and Pretty Type.
Writer.

Private Secretary Pearson of Gov.
Beavers Office. Harrisburg. Pa. had
curious and somewhat startling exper-
fence with the graphophOne. He be-
gan to turn the crank and supposed
that he was about TO cause the ma
chine TO give out 10 the young lady
typewriter a message which the gov
ernor had talked into it the evening
previous The young lady was all
attention and the private secretary
began solemnly to turn the crank,
which works by q treadle. To his
horror and the intense embarrassment
Of the young lady, the following
amorous tumble was given out with
decided emphasis:
Nov. don't, George. There.
somebody will come. OF course | love
you. There; somebody really is COM
Ing. and you have mussed my hair all
up. Please. love. Fm 80 afraid
that some one will come In. and, be.
sides, l can't work this crank IL you
insist upon kissing me ali the time"
The periods represents sounds too
familiar to be mistaken. They were
the smacking Of lips and other sounds
which accompany the interchange Of
caresses between lovers.
1t was some little while before the
matter could be satisfactorily explain
cd. either by the young lady or by
MIR. Pearson, who at first were dis
posed to imagine that somebody had
been playing q practical joke upon
them. The matter was final y straight
ened out, however, when the exccu-
tive clerk came around, and, upon
hearing Of the incident, laughed
heartily. He had on the evening be-
fore been showing bride and groom
about the executive department.. and
being called away few minutes, had
left them in the private secretary's
room to amuse themselves with the
eraphophone while he attended to the
business which had called him away.

Popping the Question.

1t was seven long years since Jonas
Harris had begun To keep company
with Miss Hannah Bell, and yet in all
that time he had not mustered courage
TO propose certain question. His
house was lonely and waiting; hers waa
lonely enough TO be vacated. and Jonas
could not bring himself TO speak the
decisive words. Many time he had
walked up to her door with the courage
Of lion. only TO lind himself a very
mouse when she appeared.
He had never failed in dropping in
to cheer her loneliness on Christmas
evening. and this year he presented
himself as usual. The hearth was
swept. the fire burned brightly and
Miss Hannah was adorned with smiles
and red bow.
Conversation went serenely on for
an hour or so. and then. when they
both sat pairing red-cheeked apples
with great contentment, Jonas began
TO call upon his recollections.
"It's a good many years. amt it,
Hannah. since you and first sot here
togetherY
"Yes, a good many"
Il wonder il l shall be settin' here
this time another year?'
"Mayb shan't be at home. Per
haps ! shall 90 out to spend the eve
ming myself" said Miss Hannah,
briskly.
This was blow indeed, and Jonas
felt it.
"Where?" he gasped.
"Ob, / don't know" she returned
beginning to quarter her apple. 81

for instance.
But there wouldn't be anybody ove'
there TO get supper for you"
MAYBE could get it myself"

Jonas, his eyes beginning to sparkle
"But there wouldn't be anybody Il
cook the pies and cakes beforehand

At that moment Jonas plate fell be-
tween his knees To the hearth ant
broke in two. but neither of then
noticed it.
"Hannah," cried he with pent ~
emphasis Of seven long years, "coulC
you bring yourself to think of gettin
married?"
A slow smile curved her lips; surely
she had been given abundant time fol
consideration.
MAYBE could" she returned. de
murely. and Jonas has admired himself
to this day for leading up to the snb
