By a vote of eighteen to fifteen.a
motion to consider the Newberry
rate bill was carried in the senate
Monday, which is evidence that the
measure will pass to-morrow. The
people of the state need and demand
a reduction in freight rates, and the
Newberry bill will afford the re
lief. At least it is worthy of a trial,
and if not satisfactory can be
amended two years hence.
Ix the presidential contests of
the future the western states are to
be the battle ground in. a partic
ularly emphatic and decisive sense.
The south alone cannot give victory
to the democrats nor can New
England and Pennsylvania bring

of the coveted goal. It is in the
states of the northern Mississippi
ralley and the Pacific slope that the
fortunes of parties and candidates
are to be made or marred in the
coming time. Globe-Democrat.
Speaking of nepotism, Cousin
Ben Folson, whom we used to hear
about in the first Cleveland admin
istration as consul at Sheffield, Eng
land, is still at his post. For quiet
heroism the boy on. the bnrning
deck wasn't a marker to Cousin Ben.
Through the entire Harrison ad
ministration "he lay.low" and served
his country like a patriet of the
first! water and good pay. We sin-

barnacle as the country's Cousin

That Hawev House article still

'ioCenar Mosey for an affidavit from
the editor of The Tkibune. Such
a course might be expected, and
knowing that The Tribute got its
information from an independent
who would not make an amdavit.
thev are perfectly safe in making
the bluff. The editor mav rest
under the imputation of liar from
the gang, but he cares little for
that, as the word is used so frequent
ly by the members in order to de
fend themselves that it has lost its
meaning.
It is considered significant that
the probability of the coming: of
cholera is discussed as much on the
New York exchanges as the con
"dition of the market itself. It is
agreed that there is grave danger
- of -the importation of the disease.
Indeed it is said that the germs
have already been planted on this
side of the water and the knowledge
jof this fact is stimulating the board
of health to its present rather ex
traordinary activity. It is making
a thorough investigation into the
unclean parts of the city and is or
dering changes and the cleansing of
filthy streets and houses in a way
that shows the case to be, in their
opinion, almost desperate. Bee.
Many thousand of people will be
glad to'learn that it has been de
cided to keep the World's fair open
to the. public evenings until 11
o'clock, says an exchange. To
those who, on account of money
considerations, are unable to spend
much time at Chicago, it will be of
the greatest importance that the
opportunities for seeing the fair
shall be as great as they can be made.
They will not mind the strain in
volved by so many hours of sight
seeing, for they can rest after they,

According to a report just issued
from the Agricultural department
showing the distribution and con
sumption of corn and wheat it ap
pears that this country produces
three-fourths of the corn crop of
the world and that only one bushel
in twenty-five k exported. The con
sumption of corn, for human food
ib this country amounts to nearly
300,000,000 bushels a year, or about
three bushels per capita, which is
not large for a country where merits
- . of corn as food are universally
known and appreciated. The re
port is dated March 11, and it
states that the stocks still remaining
in farmers' granaries amounted to
627,000;000 bushels, or 38 per cent
of the product of last year. Seven
tenths of this amount is found in
the western states, or 36 per cent
of the production of. that section.
Duly material surplus for commer
cial.dastribution, and it . seems that
the largest proportion, 44 per cent
is in Nebraska, with 42 per cent
in Iowa. The aggregate value-of
the crop of 1892, as reported on De
cember 1, was $642,146,630 for
1,628,564,000 bushels, or 30.3 per
bushel. Nebraska's production of
corn last year was 157,145,000
bushels. Bee,

with friends in the city last week.
Ira was formerly a homesteader of
this precinct and for some time a
conspicious figure in VanTilborg's

Wallace would not hold him. He'
went to Omaha and in company
with a Mr. Raley, of Crete, Nebr.,
bought a drug store on the corner
of 16th and Farnam. During busi
ness hours he got married, sold out
his interest id the drug store, and

and a wallet containing two twenties,
a ten, and a five dropped on he floor
unnoticed by Mack. The wallet was
resurrected by George Arnett, the
genial optician of the firm, and
held subject to a roar. Andy's pe
culiar smile indicated that there
was something missing, but he mur
mured not: having no idea where
the misfortune occured, until pre
sented with the shadscales and an
explanation, when a handsome re
ward was tendered for the recovery
of the money, but refused bv the

' Last Sunday night a series of foot
races took place between Bert Gil
lette and various other kids. Bert
came out best in the first race. In
the second heat he stumbled aud
tumbled, his favorite near leg pen
etrating a gopher hole and the off

ring in a few days.
Not many Sabbaths ago, a young
man claiming to hail from Wallace,
drove up to the residence of Robt.
Horner, six miles northwest of town,
and inquired for section 32-11-35.
After receiving full directions, he
attempted to turn his team around
when they got a whiff of his breath,
became frightened and turned the
bnggy bottom side up, spilling out
the occupant. They then proceeded
to run awa, first however turning
the vehicle right side up. After
running through two barbed wire
fences and an orchard breaking
dowh nine apples trees and thirteen
fence posts, they considerately came
back to the starting place where
the above mentioned yonng man
caught them and went on his way.
But upon arriving at his destination

spattered with blood that the young
lady who was the cause of all this
commotion refused to entrust her
self to their good behavior. The
gentleman is now looking for a yoke
of oxen.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
A gentleman in Illinois named
Smith lately died at the fruitful age
of 119 years. There was nothing
remarkable about the mau or his
name, only that he was possessed of
the common delusion that at ou3
time he was the boon companion of
George Washington. Singular as it
may seem he had used tobacco for
105 years, and enemies of the f rag
raut Havana will weep over his
grave as they tell their children how
he might have survived 150 winters
but for tamperitfg with an indul
gence that cut him down in the
yery bloom of robust manhood.
Cholerine in Pennsylvania.
Swicklev. Penn.: We had an
epidemic of cholerine, as our physi
cians called it, in this pjace lately
and I made a sreat hit with Cham
berlain's Colic,Choleraaud Diarrhoea
Remedy. I sold.four dozen bottles
of it in one week nnd have since
sold nearly a gross. This remedy
did the work and was a big adver
tisement for me. Several persons
who had been troubled with
diarrhoea for two or three weeks
were cured bv a few doses of this
medicine. P. P. Knapa, Ph. G.

A Black Cat Farm. '
"I had beard of skunk farms, rattle
snake farms and other novelties in the
farming line," said Nick Hansen, yester
day to a party of friends who were con
gregated about the stove in the court of
the Exchange building, "but 1 never
heard of a black cat farm until I went
out to Washington. The -year that
went out there Jim Wardner, an old
timer who used to stage it with Fred
Evans in the early days, and who is quite
well known to many Sioux Cityans, con
ceived the idea of raising black cats for
their fur, and proceeded to organize a
stock company to push the enterprise.
"A company was organized with a cap
ital stock of $200,000, and an island of
about 1,000 acres in extent located in
Bellingham bay in the upper part of
Puget sound was obtamed to carry on
the farming. Then a grand sMrmish
was made to get black cats. The Pacific
coast states were ransacked, and nearly
every incoming train was loaded with
black cats, which were immediately tak
en to the island or 'cat factory, as wo
called it. They wero in charge of a num
ber of men, who furnished them with
food by seine fishing in the bay, and a
certain number were killed during the
year to pay the current expenses. When
I left, a good black cat's pelt was worth
$2, and the company was making a mint
of money. Cats' fur makes np elegantly
into muffs aud capes." Sioux City Jour
nal. Renting Ball Dretses.
There are stores in the city where even
ing dresses are rented. They are made
np handsomely, with the skirt all fin
ished except tho waistband, and with
tho waist itself basted together instead
of stitched. The woman who desires to
rent the costumo can have tho waist
fitted. It is fitted and prepared for her
in a way that does not preclude the pos
sibility of its becoming refitted for others
for other occasions. She rents it for the
evening, paying $10 or $15, returns it in
the morning with the consciousness that
she looked at the ball just as well as her
millionaire neighbor.
It is rather a severe thing to assert,
but these trades people do not hesitate to
say that jnen are responsible for the
starting in of. this custom of renting fin
ery. They say that wives caught tbe
idea from their husbands, who make k
practice of renting dress suits instead of
owning them. Everybody knows that it
is quite a common thing for a man to hire
a dress suit for the one or two times a
j-ear when some occasion demands of
him this respect to conventionality, yet I
suppose this same man would be the first
to condemn this folly in his wife if he
knew it. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Lemon J alee Tor Rheumatism.
A little girl up on tho west side was
to give a splendid birthday party one
day last month, but the day and the
presents arrived and found her in bed,
paralyzed with rheumatism. She is on
ly 7, and her parents and even the
family doctor thought it a remarkable
and uncalled for malady. But the care
fully guarded only child suffered as ter
ribly as the most neglected little mortal
who had spent cold nights in the streets
and had invited the awful disease in
every waj. Finally a doctor was called
in, who,, among other things, knows a
thing or two about inflammatory rheu
matism. He sniffed at the array of lin
iments, pronounced them "harmlees"
and prescribed lemon juice lemon juice,
pure and simple a wineglassful every
morning. Tue uttie girt is now well.
Here is another bit of medical advice.

lamor't Irfng Hair.
There is a young lady now prominent
in Washington society to whom as a
uttle girl Lamar revoeled one blood
curdling reminiscence. Ho was accus
tomed to visit her father's house and
had often noticed her gazing curiouslj
at his hair, which he wore very long
and flat to the sides of his head. One
day he said to her: "My dear, you looi
as if you wanted to ask me something.
What is it?"
"If yon please, Mr. Lamar," she an
swered, "why do you wear your hail
that way at tho sides?" Lamar drew 'on
his most serious expression, and in a low,
hoarse whisper between his lifted palms
he replied, "Because, my dear, I once
hand a fiaht with a man and
he cut off my ears!" For along
time afterward the little girl was struck
with a chill of horror every time she
looked at him, until one day in the
midst of a gesture ho swung his hah
back far enough to assure her that Ms
head -was supplied with its normal com
plement of members. But she never, tc
the day of his death, entirely got ovex
tho effect mado upon her by the pretend
ed dfead. secret. Kato Field's Washington.
The Meaning of Telepathy.
Few people would be apt to under
stand what you meant if you talked tc
them about "telepathy." New sciences
spring up bo rapidly nowadays that it-is
hard work to keep track of the new
words coined for them. Telepathy is re-
ated in meaning to telegraphy, in that
it is a sort of mental telegraphy, or feel
ing at a distance, being derived from the
Greek, pathos, feeling and tele, at a dis
tance. It is only a new and more selen
itic name, however, for what we com
monly speak of as mind reading, though
not all mind reading is telepathy.
Kichard Hodson, secretary of the So
ciety for Psychical Research, defines te-
epatliy as the ability of one mind to im
press or be impressed by another mind
otherwise than through the recognized
channels of sense, and cites some remark
able instances of mind reading and
thought transference investigated by the i
society. These, he thinks, confirm the
conclusion that thought transference is a
reality. New York Commercial Adver
