don for Henry Hendricks, who is serving
life sentence in Auburn prison for the kill

PLATTE COUNTY'S PROSPERITY
Present Indications Are that it Will Wipe
Out Its Fusion Majority,
REPUBLICANS STEADILY GAINING GROUND

Fayoritcs who Neither Die Nor

PEELED TO.

COLUMBUS, Neb.. May 4.-(Speoial)-
Platte county is noted for it's prosperity and
its fusion majority and It is an interesting
and logical fact that when one increases the
other decreases. The crop of Platte county
statesmen increases all the time. however.
The county is made up Of a mixed popula-
tion. There Is a large number of Germans,
forming nearly 80 per cent of the total.
Then there is a strong sprinkling of Irish.
Swedes, Danes and Americans. The county
cannot be beaten for all round farming and
stock raising, and the farmers are all grow
ing rich Some of the best farming lands
and the prettiest homes in the world are
located in the Shell creek valley, which
traverses the county diagonally.
Tho banks of the county at the present
time hold about $750000 in deposits. The
three banking institutions in the city Of
Columbus, the county seat, have deposits
amounting to S574 600. A tabulation of the
figures showing the deposits of these three
banks in the month of April for seven years
is as follows
1893. s5S3. 900; 1894 s4OS, 900: 1895, 1904 900;
1885, $425 900; 1897, $S1O,0OO; 1898, $3.50 900;
1890, S57S, 750
The lowest amount in the seven years was
in August of 1895, when the deposits only
what they are at present. The fiuctuation
was due partly to a lack Of confidence, the
wealthy German farmers preferring to bury
their money when there was evidence of
democratic pancs and hints at paying back
in 50-cent dollars.
Paying OF Their Debts.
With the recent rapid increase in the de-
posits there is also an increase in the pay
ment of debts. In 1898 the mortgage in
debtedness was lowered the same as In
other good counties, and this year starts in
to beat the record, The figures for April are
as follows;
Farm mortgages filed (thrty-six), $37,
07S.66; farm mortgages released (fifty eighty
$55,S42.3S; city mortgages filed (twelve), $9,-
344 city mortgages released (ffty-seven)
s42, ,2S4.5O.
Thus it will be seen that there was g
mortgage reduction Of $52,T0422 for the
month of April alone.
The election figures in this county also in.
dicate growing prosperity. In 1890, out of {
total of 5000 votes, the republicans only
had 3O3, leaving the combined forces a ma
iority of over $500. This is the way the
| figures lock for several years:
