When people buy, try, and buy again, it means they're satisfied. The people of the United States are now buying Cascarets Candy Cathartic at the rate of two million boxes a year and it will be three million before New Year's. It means merit proved, that Cascarets are the most delightful bowel regulator for every body the year round. All drug gists 10c., 25c, 50c. a box, cure guar anteed. The wife of Black Hawk, an In dian chief of Oklahoma, heard that he was going to cast her off and get a new squaw, and she cut her throat. It was the first suicide of a squaw in the Cheyenne tribe. ARE WE LAGGARDS? During the past three weeks be tween three and four thousand far mers from the east have visited Nebraska and viewed her bounti ful crops. At many ot the towns in the state special provisions were made to show these visitors around through the .country adjacent to these towns,T and inducements of fered to have them locate. The visitors were' well pleased, and the! result will be that next spring many of them will return to the sections of Nebraska which they visited, buy farms and become part and parcel of the people who go to make up a great and prosperous common weal tli. Did the people of North Platte and Lincoln county make any effort to have any of these eastern farmers come to this section and investigate our advantages? Was there any move made by those who have land to sell, by those who are interested in irrigation ditches, or by the business men of North Platte who would profit by an increased population? Are we laggards? Thousands of acres of land lying almost under the shadow ot North Platte east, north, south and west are susceptible to irrigation from the ditches already completed and yet few acres of the vast tracts are under cultivation. If these lands were brought under cultiva tion it would aaa Hundreds to our population and hundreds of thous ands to our wealth. Are we as land and ditch owners, as business men anu energetic citizens, doing any thing toward getting farmers to ouy tuese mnos, to locate upon tuem, ano tuus increase our su- ouroan population and create a corresponding increase in the vol ume of business transacted in the city? Are we laggards? i or years jNortu .fiatte nad a blanket mortgage on the trade from Gothenburg gn,; the east to Paxton on the west; from Garfield on the norm to uurtis on tue soutu a territory 50x75 miles in area. Do we still hold that mortgage? Well, hardly! The merchants and busi ness men of Sutherland, Hershey, Brady, Maxwell, Cailaway, and the towns on the B. & M. are reaching out thev are turning- the trade from North Platte to their respec tive towns. Are we doing any thing to counteract this encroach ment on our trade? Are we offer ing the farmers the proper induce ments to trade with us? Let each merchant and businesss man ans- we'r for himself Are we laggards? Nine-tenths of the merchants in North Platte complain of dull bus iness, out let us ask ourselves the question: Are we doing-anvthing to make new ousinessr Are we reaching- out for new trade? Un- less the territory adiacent to the I city is more densely populated, or the trade we unless we win back have been gradually losing-, busi ness will not materially increase this fact must be cognizant to all. The need of the hour amone our business men is more energy and push and less petty jealousies a united stand lor the town Don't be lasrsrards. Star Pointer.

It is said that there are 300,000 sheep now on their way to Shelton to eat Buffalo county hay and corn, and to blat and grow fat. Pror. Gillespie, who was put out ot the state asylum for the deaf and aumo at Uraaha will start a private one of the same nature at Ft Crook. xauuiia uospitai, tue only one open to the public in Lincoln for emergency cases, has just sus pended business. It couldn't make its two ends meet. farmers from one end of the state to the other are filling up their yards with cattle and sheep for winter feeding. The state will roll in riches next ear. Mrs. W. H. Strausbaug, of Kear ney, who was injured some weeks since by the caving in of a cellar. and whose baby was killed by the accident, has lost her reason and has been sent to the asylum. John Peyton, of Covington, lost his wife. a tew days ago. She packed up her duds and skipped, aving a note and a vacant chair. A lew years ago he was successful in everything. Finally luck was against him. Now that his wife has gone he feels that a change has come. The Omaha Indians are tryiug to elect a council. A meeting for that purpose was called last week and the red men insisted on talking- all the time, and Agent Mercer ad journed the election until next week. It seems their affiliation with the populist party has made them all orators and thev must have a good long time in which to dispose of their surplus wind.

Thev will never have occasion to regret this decision. Journal. iMiss .LOuise jb'ound ot .Lincoln is an athletic young girl after your own heart. Last week she played a match game of tennis with Miss w Craven, who held many champion ships, and Miss Pound now holds the championship of the west. She held the Nebraska championship in 1891. She also holds several skating- and bicycle championships and is I a great athlete, who will be able to rule her own household with a rod of iron, when she has to. - The rich men of the United States are the most generous givers in the word. During 1893 they gave for colleges and benevolent puposes a round $29,000,000. During 1894 .they increased it to S32, 000,000. In 1895 they gave $32,800,000 and not thstanding the hard times of 1896 the gifts amounted to $27,- 000,000. The constant whine of the ingratitude and greediness of millionaires can be best understood by a study of such facts. The Bryan declaimers declare "money is not plentiful." that there is a "great need ot more money. ' And yet the banks and safety vaults are overfull of money every where. What is needed is to 'nve the people confidence in the stabil ity of things and money will be, turned loose. Should there grow up a fear of Bryanism and wildcat even in 1900, it will tighten the pursestring in every quarter of the union. They are coming home and grumbling because the customs offi cer taxes their European purchases. Last week three steamships which arrived in New York had 2,000 trunks and valises which had to be overhauled. "One woman had fifty two neckties." It was a "job lot from a bargain counter," and she was disgusted with the cost mark stamped' on the instide, discovered by the officers, which she had not before seen it was 3 shilling 6 pence. As she had calculated on making several friends happy with TT - ... m cos uy European neCKties, sue was rather shocked at the discovery. TOR QMMiWg FSJL - --AJT The Boston Store.
