It Is a pleasure to own a Standard
sewing machine, for it always does first
class work. It never gets out of repair
like tho old stylo machines. It will pay
you to examine these machines at

putting to market one bushel of wheat is
givon us by several men who havo had

tunate enough to havo 2,000 bushels of
wheat has a 700 profit on his wheat,
saying nothing about his hogs, cattle,
corn, potatoes and other small grain crop.

TnE REUNION,
j Tho second annual reunion of tho
;West Nebraska Veterans' Association
.opened in this city yesterday under tho
aiost auspicious circumstances. While
The Tribune is issued too carlv in
the week to givo any definite news as to
the success of this great meeting of
teterans and their friends, a visit to tho
camp late last evening was sufficient to
induce the writer to believe that tho
reunion this year will eclipso that of last
in both attendants and in what tho old
soldiers term a general good time.
There are 320 tents on the grounds,
Exclusive of the officers' quarters, and at
eight o'clock last evening about one
third of this number of tents wero oc
cupied by veterans and their families
ana wagons loaded witu people wero
arriving .every five minutes from al
directions. The manner in which tho
people wero coming in would lead us to
believe that by to-morrow evening every
tent will be occupied, and computing
eight persons to a tent, which is probably
a fair estimate, this would give an
attendance of over 2500 on the grounds,
besides the hundreds who aro stopping
in the city. Last night's trains brought
in largo numbers from both cast and
west, and this will probably bo tho case
to-3ay and to-night.
The Tribune extends a hearty wel
come to tho old veterans and all others
and trusts that thoir visit will bo pleas
ant and that thoy will return to their
homos feeling well paid for tho trouble
aad expenso of coming.
THE RACES.
About sixty running and trotting
horses aro stabled at tho fair grounds
and this will insure a big time on the
track, which by tho way is in better con
tion than over before. In addition to
tho programme races, it is likely a
number of match races will be run.
There are two trotting races booked
for this afternoon. One for horses that
havo never competed for public money,
and the other is for tho-2:10 class. This
latter raco closed with six entries and It-
will probably be one of tho best duringl
the fair. '
To-morrow afternoon tho programme
will open with a half mile running race,
followed by a one railo dash, and then by
a half mile and repeat running.
Friday will bo the great day on the
turf for in tho afternoon tho three min
ute race, which closed with twelve
entries, will bo trotted for a purse of
seven hundred dollars. This will be the,
greatest trotting contest which has ever
taken placo in Western Nebraska. It
will be followed by a free-for-all trot for
a purse of two hundred dollars.
People who attend the races this week
will see some great sport, and by a little
stretch of imagination ono can make
himself beliovo ho is looking on somo
track embraced in ono of tho heavy
eastern circuits.
THE STATU FAIR J'XHIUrr.
Tho Lincoln county exhibit at the
state fair attracted a great deal of atten
tion but failed to receive a premium. In
speaking of the exhibit tho Omaha
World-Horald said that if tho awarding
of tho premium of county displays was
eft to popular opinion Lincoln count'
would surclv receive it.
That our exhibit was an excellent ono
and that it received favorable considera
tion from the public generally is shown
by the following letter received by Presi
dent Birgo from M. S. Lindsay, secretary
of the Omaha Coliseum Association, the
body of which reads as follows:
'I visited the state fair yesterday and
thero saw your exhibit, togothor with
the engine mado up of products from
Lincoln county, and am desirous of hav
ing your exhibit at our oxposition which
opens in Omaha on Sopt. 28th and con
tinues until October 17th. tlf you -will'
permit us to placo your exhibit in our
exposition we will gladly givo you space
and any other accommodations you may
desire."
It is not known at this writing whether
tho exhibit will bo shipped to Omaha or
not, but if such is possible it will
surely go.

Keinarlcahlc Coutruxt in the K fleet of Two
Poisons on the Complexion.
The slow absorption of many poisons
changes in somo moro or less modified
form tho complexion but arsenic and
ammonia snow tneir eiiect about as
quickly as any. Tho popular belief that
arsenic clears tho complexion- has led
many silly women to kill themselves with
it in small, continued doses.
It produces a waxy, ivory-like appear
ance of tho skin during a certain stage
of tho poisoning, but its torriblo after
effects havo becomo to well known .to
mako it of common use as a cosmetic.
Tho effects of ammonia upon tho com
plexion aro directly the opposite to that
of arsenic. Tho first svmptom of am
monia poisoning which appears among
thoso who work in ammonia factories is
a discoloration of tho skin of tho nose
and forehead. This gradually extends
over the face until the complexion has 1
stained, blotched, and unsightly appear
ance. With people who tako ammonia
into their svstems in smaller doses, as
with, thoir water or food, thoso striking
symptoms do not appear so soon. The
only effect of the ioison that is visible
for a timo is a general unwholesomencss
and sallowness of the complexion.
Many peoplo are slowly absorbing am
monia poison without knowing it. Tho
uso of ammonia in tho manufactures has
greatly increased of late, and it is 11 n
questionably used a3 an adulterant in
certain food preparations. Official
analysis have plainly shown its uso oven
in such cheap articles of even' day con
sumption as basing powders. Tho con
tinued absorption of ammonia in oven
minute quantities as an adulterant in
food is injurious not merely from its
oiTeet upon tho complexion, but because
it destroys tho coating of tho stomach
and causes dyspepsia and kindred evils.
Professor Long of Chicago, is author
ity for the statement that, if to lift'
million parts of water thero is ono part
of ammonia the water is dangerous.

Kindness from a Woman Did What P.
llcemen'a Clubs Uad Failed to Do.
It -was in the fall of 1S78 that the
small boys about Tompkins square, hav
ing exhausted tho ordinary methods of
street enjoyment, began to amuse them
selves by tlirowing stones through the
windows of the Wilson .mission, at 125
Sc. Mark's place, and by Jeering at the
various people connected with it as they
passed in and out of the building.
These customs proving in time both
expensive and annoying to the ladies
and gentlemen connected with the rats
sion, and complaints to the police, de
partment only resulting in a temporary
cessation of hostilities whenever the
lynxeyed policeman on the beat ap
peared, and as long as he remained in
sight, ono of the ladies determined to
try the soothing effects of coals of fire,
poured metaphorically upon tho heads
of the offending boys. So one evening
she answered an especially irritating
volley of stones by appearing on the
doorsteps, and talcing advantage of a
momentary lull in the cat calls which
her appearance had excited, asked the
boys if they would not come in and
havo some coffees and cakes.
Visions of "cops,-" with big clubs, be
hind the door naturally occurred to the
minds of the prospective traests: but
when a few of tho more venturesome had
sidled in, and no attacks, apparently,
had been made on them, tho others
took courage and followed them, to had
themselves quietly welcomed to the sim
ple repast which tho lady had ple
teously provided as the most practical
form in which to administer her coals
of fire. Every one had as much as he
wanted, no reference was made to ttH:
cause of the broken glass, and eaclx-boj4
was treated with a kindness and courtesy
quite unexpected, in view of the fact
that within a few moments he had beea
engaged in smashing his hostess' win
dows. When the supper had all been ab
sorbed the boys wero sent forth with a
pleasant good night to ruminate on their
evening's experiences, and to decide
which part of the evening had been the
more enjoyable defacing the exterior of
the mission building or being treated
with kindness and courtesy within its
walls, and their decision soon became
apparent, for tho boys wero soon back
again, not for coffee and cakes, but to
ask if they could not como in and play
games though there was littlo mother
room but an atmosphere of kindness and
good breeding. Evert Jansen Wendell

Lost lu IXcr Own Pockets.
It is seldom that a woman loses anj'

her pocketbook, containing a consider
able sum of money. A careful search
through her own cozy establishment
failed to disclose its whereabouts. The
household servants were all well known
and trustworthy, and there were no chs
cumsiances mat even suggested tnelE
The loss was dissevered soon after a
visit to this city, and advertisements
were sprinkled plentifully among th
newspapers.
The missing pocketbook persist&atly
continued to be missing in spite of all
efforts to discover it. After a while tho
circumstance of its loss was forgotten.
A newly planned trip necessitated tho
overhauling of tho young woman's ward
robe, and by the merest accident the lost
article was found reposing in the pocket
of a handsome traveling dress. "Why,
it seems to me that I felt in that pocket
when I was searching," eiclaimetl its

Information for Bald 3Xen.
It has long been said that whosoever
shall invent a means to mako tho hair
grow on the heads of bald men will
mako a fortune beside which the mil
lions of all other patent medicine pro
prietors will palo into littleness. Per
haps a barber has hit upon the plan for
solving the problem and making the
fortune.
Ho says that tho recent successful ex
periments in skin grafting reveal a sim
ple manner in which any bald man may
get a full head of hair. There need bo
no pain during the process, because tho
use of anaisthetics will overcome the
hurt of the surgeon's knife in removing
the bald scalp. All that the candidate
for a new head of Jiair must endure will
be a stay of two or threo weeks indoors
while the new scalp is growing in place.
iis to tne question whether the new
scalps must come from dead men or live
men, tho barber snggests that this will
bo merely a question of expense, for
plenty of poor men will gladly sell their
scalps if they can find purchasers. New

There is said to be an old negro in Tal
bot county, Ga., who learned to spell in
a curious way in slavery times. His
owner lived in a sparsely settled neigh
borhood, and he, being a small boy, was
sent along to accompany the children to
school. The teacher would not allow hiin
to go into the schoolroom when the pu
pils were reciting. This aroused his cu
riosity, and he would stealthily approach
the door and repeat after the spellincr
class until ho could, spell every word in
Websters blue back spelling book before
he knew the alphabet He now reads
and spells very well. Boston Transcript

Tho Burglar Stole a Kiss.
The house of Thomas Owens, a well to
do fanner at Valley station, was entered
Friday night by a masked burglar, who
secured about thirty dollars in money
and several articles of clothing. Tho
door of the family bedroom had not been
locked, and the burglar entered without
difficulty. He carried a dark lantern.
In leaving tho room he looked at the
sleeping ones, and saw the innocent face
of Mr. Owens' little daughter. He sud
denly bent over and kissed heron the
cheek. She awoke and uttered a loud
scream. This aroused her father, who,
springing up, spied the burglar. He was
