V A man who is res tine easily be neath the sDreadinc branches of his own obscurity should not mistake the buzzing of the flies for a call to go forth and run tor omce. "Oh. if, T had taken this medicine early in life what years of suffering it would have saved me!" was the touchincr exclamation of one who had been cured of rheumatism by the use of Ayers Sarsapanlla. Scores of such cases are on record. Eight cotton factories, sixteen banks, and various other enterprises have been started in South Carolina within a year. Corporations char tered between October, 1888, and October, 1889, number eighty-two, with an aggregate capital of 41, 000,000. The Goubet, a submarine air-tight boat built on a plan which enables it to dive down straight in deep water, is interesting French naval authorities. Her performances are said to eclipse those of the Gymncte, which dives on a gradual plane and betrays its presence by disturbing the water. The most remarkable feature of the Goubet is that it can be steered in any direction and at most surprising angles, all at great speed. The Silver bill provides that the Treasury may purchase as much as 4,500,000 ounces of silver a month at the market price, and pay for them in silver certificates based on this market value. Silver dol lars of 412 grains weight each are to be coined and held for the re demption of these certificates on presentation. The ratio of 16 to 1 means that about 16 times as many grains of silver are put into a silver dollar as grains of gold into a gold dollar. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

Streitz. nages The newest thing in baby car- is a contrivance that by means of various appliances may be formed into a sled, a cradle, and a go-cart. The cradle, instead of being provided with rockers, hangs from the ceiling by a spiral spring, and the spring itself plays an im portant part in the adjustment of the sunshade that -goes with the carriage when it is used in its nor mal character. The maker boasts that the whole contrivance is al most simple enough to be adjusted to its various uses by the infant occupant himself. The editor of the Scotia Herald visited several neighboring towns last week and says that he "saw many things that appeared strange and wonderful to his bucolic eyes. But the most graceful and enchant ing scene that met our gaze was a lady in Grand Island riding a bare backed bicycle. She rode as does the Indian maiden ride her pony, and we followed her several miles up and down the hot streets, hoping to see the fair 'cycler dismount in some shape or other. But, alas! we did not succeed. She may be riding yet, for all we know, and we're awful glad we're back in Scotia." That distention of the stomach which many people feel after eat ing, may be due to improper masti cation of the food; but, in most cases, it indicates a weakness of the digestive organs, the best remedy for which is one of Ayer's Pills, to be taken after dinner. The Indian idea appears to have a considerable following in Gotham. The New York World says: "It has been estimated by an employe of the United States Bureau of Labor that there are 27,000 married men in the city of New York who are supported by their wives, less than 7,000 of whom are in menial service. The modistes are in the maiority. This includes dress makers and milliners, many of whom own property, some being very wealthy and all well-to-do. The boarding house keepers rank next in number. This does not include the fashionable young men who marry wealth and drive swell turnouts and summer at the beach at their wives' expense. "Boycott" is a new name for the old treasonable effort to "rule or ruin," by the slavery-spoiled white minority in the Southeast. When Calhoun made the tariff the pretext for rebellion it was "nullification." When the slaveocracy had acquired the power to precipitate war it was "secession." And now it is the "boycott," a great "come down," it is true, from the proud old times of the "chivalry," but all three words spell the same ugly, traitorous and detestable thing. The Fed eral election bill is the peculiar test of Republicanism to-day, just as much as the enforcement of the tarifE in South Carolina was the test of President Jackson's courage and fidelity. N. Y. Mail and Express. People troubled with constipation should be very careful what kind of a laxative they use, as so many medicines are put up to sell which are absolutely without merit or value, and which, if taken, will get your bowels in such a state that you will be compelled to keep on using phvsic the year around in order to enjoy any health. Beggs' Liver Pills will do more-to keep a family in good health than "any other pills on the market, as they are put up with the utmost care, and are guaranteed to give satisfaction. A. Y. Streitz, Druggist. The largest fruit farm in West Virginia is the ttecker farm near TT 1 T7 . T4- nninrnr.

Butte, Mon,, sticks its head above the census flood with 22,008 people, probably the most prosperous min ing camp in the world, not except ing the diamond held at Airaberly, Africa. A continual coughing is annoying to persons sitting near you in any kind of a Catherine : besides, it is of great damage to the throat and lungs, and is exceedingly dangerous at this season of the year. One-half bottle of Beggs' Cherry Cough Syrup will relieve any ordinary cough, and this remedy costs no more than the inferior grades that are thrown on the market to sell at enormous profits. A. F. Streitz Druggist. It may be a surprise to many to learn that statistics prove the sea to be safer to live on than land. The death rate of sailors in the British merchant marine is under 12 per thousand; the loss of life by ship wreck is about a quarter of this; in fact, there are more lives lost among miners from accident than among sailors, and many more among rail way employes. The Otoe county farmers' and laborers' convention resolved that they did not want Colonel Van Wyck for governor. " Give us something fresh " was the war cry of the convention. This is the un kindest cut of all. Colonel Van Wyck appears to be the fifth can didate for governor of Nebraska this summer who has been bottled up by his own county convention. If this thing is not stopped patriot ism will play out. State Journal. If the farmers' organization should accomplish nothing more it has proved to be one of the greatest schools of political economy ever known, and is doing more to set people to thinking for themselves instead of allowing others to think for them than any other society in existence. Go where you may you will find the masses talking intel ligently upon subjects that a few years ago they were wholly igno rant of. They no longer look to party bosses for their opinions, but study for themselves. Exchange. Mr. John Carpenter, ot Goodland, Ind., says: "I tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, for diarrhoea and severe cramps, and pains in the stomach and bowels with the best results. In the worst cases I never had to give more than the third dose to effect a cure. In most cases one dose will do. Besides its other good qualities it is pleasant to take." 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by A. F. Streitz . It is hard io please Democratic organs. Twenty-five years ago "the immense public debt would never be paid." Later they groaned be cause it was being "paid too rapid ly." Last year they united in a prolonged groan about "the evil of a great surplus in the Treasury." Now they are combining in the whine over "the certain . deficit." In the meantime the part which saved the Nation and inaugurated all its prosperity is at the helm and the public will feel safe. Inter Ocean. A tramp who was rubbing a Woodward avenue lamp-post the other day, says the Detroit Free Press, struck a pedestrian for a dime, saying lie wanted to get a Dite to eat. "Why don't you try some of these houses around here?" he was asked. "I've tried all but that one on this block, and the people are either away or down on the purfesh." "But why don't yon try that one?" "I'm no fool, mister. I may not be purty, but I've got some common sense." "Well!" "Well, follow the street sprinkler and you can't go wrong. When it leaves a dry spot in front of a man's house, you just keep away from that man. That's where they tie ropes around the children's bodies just before feeding time' Happy Hoosiers. "Win. Timmons, Postmaster of Idaville, Ind., writes: "Electric Bitters has done more for me than all other medicines conbined, for that bad feeling arising from Kidney and Liver trouble." John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of the same place, says: "Find Electric Bitters to be the best Kidney and Liver medicine, made me feel like a new man." J. TV. Gardner, hardware merchant, same town, says: "Electric Bitters is just the thing for a man who is all run down and don't care whether he lives or dies ; he found new strength, good appetite and felt just like he had a new lease on life.

According to these, Jews must henceforth reside in certain towns only. None will be permit ted to own land or hire it for agri cultural purposes. The order in cludes within its scope towns and hundreds of villages that have large Jewish populations. No Jew will be allowed to hold shares in or work mines. The law limiting the resi dence of Jews to sixteen provinces will be enforced. No Hebrew will be allowed to enter the army, prac tice medicine or law, or to be an engineer, or to enter any of the other professions. They will also be debarred from holding posts under the government. The en forcement of the edicts will result in the expulsion of over one million Jews from the country.

Miss Sallie Hollie, a Virginia girl, has undertaken the education of the colored girls of her state.

There has just been finished and placed in the cathedral of (Jharkov, Russia, a clock of solid silver, weigh- ing uuu pounds, it is in memory of the Czar's escape from death in the railroad accident at Borki, and is so arranged that upon Oct. 17 in each year the anniversary of that event it will nnsr a peal of bells. We observe that the Hon. Roger (juarles Mills, the Hon. Grover Cleveland, and perhaps a few other scholastic statesmen whose intellects move ponderously and whose wits are in February when it is already July, labor under the mistaken idea that what they call tariff relorm is still a living issue. New York Sun. Senator Plumb, of Kansas, sub scribes and pays for- 200 news- T" 1 ( A papers, it is the way he has ot keeping plumb with public senti ment. A great many politicians who have been made from the ground up by the newspapers do not seem to know the fact, and in fact, the newspapers don't care to brag of their work. A large number of entertainments have been arranged for Prince George, the second son of the Prince of Wales, who was expected to ar rive this week at Newport on H. R. Thrush, of which he is command- er. it now appears that they were entirely unauthorized, and the prob ability is that the rnnce s ship will not come to Newport. This will be a sad blow to the toadies: As a general liniment for sprains and bruises or for rheumatism, lame back, deep seated or muscular pains, Cham berlain's Pain Balm is unrivalled. For sale by A. F. Streitz, Why should not the farmers go into polities? They are the most important contingent in every State or the broad land. The tact is, the farmers in the West have always been in politics, and know more as class about polities than two- thirds of the people who are talking about them. .Nobody can doubt but that our State Legislature and Congress would act with more wis dom if they had more sound-headed old farmers and fewer windy ora tors. There is no danger from the farmers. Inter Ocean. Stranger If a man falls down -ii-i i ii an open coal noie, can ne sue tne owner of the premises for damages? Lawyer Certainly, sir, big dam ages and get them, too. Give me the particulars. "Well, as mv brother was pass ing your house this morning he fell through a coal hole and broke his leg." ''Hem! Did he use ordinary vig ilance to prevent such an accident? Did he look at his reet as he walk ed? Did he stop and examine the condition of the pavement before entering upon it? Answer me that, sir. "Stop? Why, no" "Ah, ha! I thought so. Guilty of cairainal negligence. He might have fallen on one of my own family under that coal hole might have killed us all, sir. As it is I shall sue him for damages for muss ing up my coal bin." 4 1 1 1 1 f t a nunarea ana nrty passengers on the little steamer that plies in Niagara river above the falls, had a b& quarter of an hour or more the other day. The steamer had to cross below Green Island instead "of above it on account of low water. When it was amid stream, at the nearest point to the cataract, the engine suddenly "gave out, and the boat started down stream. An anchor was hastily thrown out, but the vessel had such a headway that it dragged quite a distance. Finally when it caught in the rocks the jerk smashed the bulkhead to which the chain was attached, and the steamer went on. Fortunately the chain twisted jp so that it caught in the bulwarks and stopped the boat. Then they fixed the engine and got up steam and after a struggle- of fifteen minutes with the rapids ac cumulated headway enough to over come the current, and safely landed. The passengers were all scared out of a yeaa's growth at least. And well they might be, for it was a close shave. There was but a hair's breadth between them and eternity. During the epidemic of flux in this county last summer, I had hard work to keep a supply of Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy on hand. People often came ten or twelve miles in tne night to get a bottle of the Rem edy. I have been selling patent medi cines for the last ten years and find that it has given better satisfaction in cases of diarrhoea and flux, than any other medi cine I have ever handled. J. H. Benhajt, Drugeist, Golconda, Pope Jo., III. Over five hundred bottles of this Rem edy were sold in that county during the epidemic referred to. It was a perfect success and was the only remedy that did cure the wor9t cases. Dozens of persons there will certify that it saved their lives. In four other epidemics of bowel com plaint this Remedy has been equally successful. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by A, F. Streitz. The sugar palace in Grand Island is m-ocressincr ranidlv.

Here, in the verv midst of the lawn -tennis season, comes the Lon don Lancet with a warning to the gentler sex not to become wrapped up in the seductive pastime under penalty of "unequal development T 1- 1 1 ana lateral spinal curvature, aue to the continuous use of one arm This warning, however, may have no terrors for the ambidexterous girl, if there be any such. ii aoes seem singular that so manv 'people will let their skin become yellow, aars antt greasy, (unally resulting in blotches and skin eruptions, as well as general dryingup of the blood, causing wrinkles and premature old age), when tnis can be remedied at so little expense. Two bottles of Beggs' Blood Purifier and Blood Maker will renew and purify the Diooa tnrougneut the whole system, leav ing the skin clear and free from all erup tions. A. F. Streitz Druereist. An American railroad engineer just up from Buenos Ayres explains wnat is meant oy the cedula system, under which the farmer of the Argentine Confederation has mort gaged his eye teeth for the next fourteen generations: "The cedula is exactly the same scheme which Senator Stanford has advocated for adoption by the United States gov ernment, when he introduced his bill providing for government loans to farmers, though of course it would not be attended with the same danger in the United States, with its surplus remedy, as it has been in the Argentine. It is a mortgage bond authorized by the state and secured by mortgage on improved and unimproved lands at the rate of 50 per cent of their nominal value. the interest on the bonds being guaranteed by the government. The moment the scheme was under stood it became a craze with the farming classes to borrow monev on their farms. The craze broke out in 1881, and to-day there is not a farm m the entire republic that is not plastered over with cedulas. Within the last eight years over $415,000,000 has been issued in paper on this class of securities. For the last two years interest has defaulted everywhere, and the as sured value of the lands mortgaged has been found to be over 50 per cent above the market value." Last Monday was the dav set for the trial of the case of the State of Nebraska, vs. Phillip H. Suiter Joseph Suiter and iiobert Shim- niins, before Henry Brown, justice of the peflgfs, the charge being the theft of six, head ot cattle. Squire Brown being sick and unable to at tend, seut the papers in the case to Jay Smith, justice of the peace, re questing him to hear the case. At an earlv hour a crowd of people be gan to gather at the court house, all anxious to hear the case. The state was represented by H. M. Grimes, of North Platte, and J. E. Morrison, of Gandy, and the de fense by McSay and Hogeboom, of Gaudy. The case was called by 'Squire Smith and before any ac i i i ii won was raiten, tne prosecution raised the question of the conrt being legally qualified as a iustice . e mi r or cne poace. rnis was not con troverted by the defense beyond the tact that if the court did not have power to try the case it could make no legal disposition of it whetever. Mr. Smith was elected as justice of the peace m Umega precinct at the election last fall, that precinct be ing organized in this county bv Logau county to which this county was attached, which precinct is now included in JUast Mcrherson pre cmct. It was contended that the organization of the county compell ed the division of the county into precincts and the election of pre cinct as well as county omcers, and tnat the term of the office held by Mr. Smith in Omega precinct ex- T "It I pirea witn county organization. Two justices were elected in East McPherson precinct at the election called by the special county com missioners but only one qualified. The commissioners appointed another partj in place of the one who failed to qualify who in turn failed to qualify. The board made no further appointment presuming that under he constitution Mr. Smith could fill the position until a successor was qualified. Mr. Smith decided to have nothing to do with the. case under the circumstances, and the papers in the case were re turned to J ustice Brown. The case will be tried before Mr. Brown at some date to be agreed upon but at present unknown. It was quite a disappointment to the crowd, but sufficient notice of the date of trial will "be given to give all another chance: McPherson News. Martin & Nauman 'o Df 0 CU C. TurmmTTflDC!

It is astonishing how lightly most people regard certain organic derange ments, so long as the pain or inconveni ence caused thereby is not excessive. This is particularly true of the bowels, which, next to the stomach, are the most abused portion of the body. Tho wonder is they continue for so many years to perform their important, office with anything like regularity, consider ing how little attention is paid to their special demands. One of the most common ailments 13 constipation, which very frequently , be comes chronic for want of proper treat ment. As a general rule, when a per son wakes up to the consciousness that he needs something "loosening," he takes the first thing at hand, if it only promises a speedy effect. The evil of such indiscreet medication i3 that while the dose may cause a prompt and ener getic movement, the operation is liable to be followed by another, and perhaps longer, period of constipation. If this again is remedied by a similar treat ment, it is sure to be succeeded by still more stubborn inactivity tho final re sult being a permanent weakness of tho bowels in the form of chronic and confirmed constipation. Now what is needed byway of physic, in any protracted interruption of tho regular operations of the bowels, is simply a gentle aperient to bring about a movement, leaving the rest to cool ing drinks and relaxing food. For this purpose, there is no better opening med icine than Ayer's Pills. Being purely vegetable in their composition, and en tirely free from calomel or any other harsh, drastic purgative, their use is unattended with those injurious effects which follow the taking of ordinary cathartics. On the contrary, Ayer's Pills arc calculated to strengthen as well as regulate the bowels and stomach, and also to stimulate the liver, the slug gishness of which is often the real cause of constipation. Ayer's Pills, being sugar-coated, are easily taken and are, therefore, admira bly .adapted for use either at home or abroad. They are recommended by lead ing physicians all over the world, and, in countless households, are the only medicine considered absolutely indis pensable. They are, without doubt, th most popular pills ever made. LARGE STOCK OF PIECE GOODS, embracing all the new designs, kept on hand and made to order. PERFECT FIT GUARANTEED.
