StocktHeawill be glad to learn that tne union facmc nas given notice that on June 5th the charg for shipping live stock will revert back to the system used prior to January 1st. Instead of paying so many1 cents per 100 pounds, as is the custom now. the shipper will pay so many dollars a car. This change will be of material benefit to shippers, saving about ten dol lars per car from North Platte to South Omaha. STAB'S OITPOIITICS. A recenF issue of the Grand Island Independent says: Deputy Secretary of State John Evans was in the city accidently shaking hands with his many friends and incidentally listening to political clatter. He went from here to North Platte to watch the water flow through the irrigation ditches. When asked what he thought of the political situation he said: "He thought that there would be more corn to hoe in Nebraska this year than during the drouth period, and that the Rosewater-Bryan debate would not change the ratio of two schooners for ten cents to any per ceptible degree. STJTHESLAin) ITETWS. While at the recent Woodmen en tertainment John Pierson, ot Pax ton, lost a new four dollar hat. If any one exchanged hats by mis take, they can arrange matters with Fred Pierson, of Sutherland. Dentist Morrill returned to North Platte the latter part of the week. He is said to do very good work and is a pleasant gentleman with whom to do business. John Bratt shipped a car of stock to Omaha Thursday. Chas. Richards has purchased a windmill of Elmer Coates and has erected it in the rear of his saloon building. He will use it to pump cold water over temperance drinks. Mrs. E. Coates' sister from Wood River spent last week with her. Dr. Morrill will spend a month or so at Beaver City. The healthy condition of the people go a good ways in recommending our climate, but it is hard on a doctor's purse. Rumor has it that L. C. Apple gate has purchased another lot in the village. He is becoming quite a land owner. Mrs. David Hunter returned last week from a visit in Missouri. The recent Woodman social passed off in true Woodman style. Large crowd, full tables and good programme. It is said to have been the largest ever held in Sutherland, outside of a Fourth of Julv celebra tion. C. G. Singer spent last in the vi cinity of Ogalalla. Mrs. M. E. Shoup was quite sick several days last week. Citizen. DECOEATI0IT DAY AT FOET KcPHEBSOff CE2EETEEY. The day was cool and pleasant and by 12 o'clock six hundred peo ple were on the grounds, North Platte being well represented. There was also a delegation of Grand Army men and their families 1 from Moorefield, and many people from all directions, as well as those residing in the immediate vicinitv. The exercises were opened by a choir of singers, whose voices were well trained, and the sweetness of the singing was greatly applauded. The names of the singers were Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Kinley, and the Misses Mabel and Tern Kinley, all of Maxwell. Next followed a speech by Rev. I. S. Dorman, of Brady Island, then another patriotic son"- was well rendered by the choir. R. EL Langford, of North Platte, was then introduced. As he arose every eye was turned toward the speaker's stand and every ear strained to catch the first tones of his voice, which rang out in clear accents, and every listener knew that by the able manner with, which he handled hissubject, and the re markable elocutionary power which he displayed, that his heart was stirred by true patriotism; for none but a true patriot could deliver such a speech with so much en thusiasm; and at its close a patri otic public eagerly showed their appreciation by long and loud ap- Sacrifice the Millinery.

The people then proceeded to decorate the graves, and David Jones, of North Platte, was especi ally active in strewing flowers on tne graves ot tne departed, com rades. Messrs. John Murray and John Shaner of Cottonwood Springs rendered their assistance to the superintendent during the entire day, doing" their utmost to make the people comfortable and happy. Refreshment stands were near the grounds. The many hundreds gathered here showed a true patriotic spirit in good decorum and proper observ ance of the solemnity of the occa sion, giving due reverence to the departed dead. The day was closed by a baseball game by some of the young men, but as it was outside the grounds I nave not oeen able to learn tne re sult. . Scribe BETWEEB" THE EIVEES.

Grandpa Davis accompanied him on his trip. He expects to be gone about a week. The Nichols school closed last Friday with a very interesting pro gramme. The address of welcome was given by Bessie Spitsnogle. The song "Baby's gone to sleep" by Eva Cole and Tenie Ellison was welL rendered.

Mrs. Terry, with her brother and his family, will leave in the morn ing on a visit to their parents in Sherman county, Kansas. They go by team. A large number of people from these parts attended memorial ex ercises at the Platte Saturday. An emigrant with his wife and five children passed through Nichols yesterday. They were in destitute circumstances, not a penny to buy even their food. They were trying to make their way from Colorado to their old home in Pennsylvania. They were soliciting food along the way and were amply provided for in these parts. The Nichols Union ladies aid' society will meet at the home of Mrs. Xavier Toillion to-morrow afternoon.

One or two things must be done run the town for' all it's worth, get up steam and keep it, or quit the business, slide out and let nature take its course. Do you wan't trade? Bid for it. Do you want business to come to your town? Encourage inose wno come, uo you want a. prosperous town where people can come who are disposed to make homes? Then do away with, bury from sight, all spite work; work no more tor individuals but work together for mutual benefit Wake up, rub your- eyes, roll up your sleeves and go to work. Don't work with fear and trembling, fear ful that your neighbor will go ahead faster than you, but with, a determination to win.

The Lodge Pole Express says that its editor assisted Bob Ober- felder in digging and washing some sand, taken from land near Sidney and several grains of p-old were w ey found therein. The finding of gold in sand in this country is no new thing. Sand from most any gravel or sand bank in this part of the state contains, some gold, but ithas 4 never been found plentiful enough to pay for washing itT and while Mr. Wolf claims that his find will pay well for washing we are of the opinion that it will prove otherwise. We know of parties who claim that a man can by talcing sand from the Platte river and washing it. make jod wages. If this were a fact hundreds ot people would have found employment in this line long ere this. -Register. A valued correspondent writes for information. "If an alien re sides in this countrv three years." ie says, "marries a native Ameri can, and then they move away be fore they have any children, does he become an American citizen?" This requires a figurative answer. If a duck were to meet a turkey gobbler in the pasture out back of the barn and the gobbler were to scratch up few worms for the duck, and the duck liked the worms and quacked merrily over them, and the duck and the gobbler were then to go down to the frog pond and wade in o their knees, would the gobbler be a duck? Candor forces the statement that he would not. Cleveland Press. Youth is the time to get ready for life's work. It is not the time for making money, and the young man who rushes into business when he ought to be studying, will have the step to regret all his life. Bus iness competition is so close that the man that succeeds must do so by the exercise ot quick accurate thinking. The power to do this is not developed without hard study. Thousands of young men are em ployed to-day, working" at a small salary, who might have stood high in some business or profession but for the fact that they thought -they could not afford to go to school and let an opportunity pass to make $40 or $50 per month. They will always be employes. Go to college, young man. If you have mettle, it will develop it; it you have high aims, you can reach them best that way; it you are asleep it may awaken you; if you have no spirit you'd better not go. The college can not make men, it only develops them. -York Republican. f Bucklen's Arnica Salve- The best salve in the world for cuts, bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever sores, teter, chapped hands, chilblains, corns,and all skin eruptions,and positive ly cares piles, or no pay required.

The statement Is open to much criticism. What are life's prizes? In popular estimate they are apt to be considered a wide fame, great wealth, an ability to live on "easy street" If this be a correct judgment, then it is un doubtedly true that only a few can reach them. But. if to gain life's prizes is to strive honorably to earn one's bread by the sweat of their brow, to deal justly with, others, to dwell in homes made happy by the "light of love." to enjoy God's bright sunshine and the creatures he has made, then it rests mainly with, the individual whether he 6ea prize winner or not And after all are not these latter, which lay in the pathway of the humble, as well as the lofty, the things to be coveted.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of tho Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it is entire ly closed, Deafness is the result, and un less the inflamation can be taken oufc and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca tarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
