A New Lincoln paper, the first issue of
which appeared June 12, is the Alliance,
which is the official organ of the Nebras

Tins week witnesses another closing of
of the Plattsmouth city schools and the
commencement of a class of graduates
an occurance which the city should be
proud of. -
Whkn Plattsmouth is compared with
the rest of the the ''third cities" of the
state, there are none of them making
more substantial and extensiye progress
than she h.
The weather of the past week, though
sultry, is the most profitable to the state
that could be had. It is known as "corn
weather." During these hot days and
nights you can almost see the corn grow,
and the crop, which wa3 for some weeks
stationary in growt'i, now has an excep
tional good start.
Those who stay in pleasant homos and
can not find means to go to Europe this
year may take comfort in the announce
ment made that "the most popular
steamers arc so packed that it requires
four seperate dinners each day to acom
vnoJate the crowd." With such sur
roundings, it will not be strange If many
sing:
'Home, cwtet home,
There's no place like home,"
long before they get back.
NEW PRODUCT FOR NEBRASKA.
Flax culture in Nebraska is a topic
now being discussed all over this state in
newspaper from the largest to the small
est. The seed of the ilax is very valuable
nnd the grain is now grown quite ex
tensively for that alone, but ie is also
known that an excellent quality of twine
can be made from the straw, but because
of a cheaper process for poorer material
the producing of twine or fiber Irom liax
straw has not been successful.
But now there comes a voice from over
the ocean which assures the American
people the cost of separating the fibre has
been overcome and a line product will be
the result. America is a great llax country
and recent investigation and tcits go to
prove Nebraska's soil and climate adapt
ed to that production. If the claims in
the following letter are true, llax will
soon be a truly profitable gain.
3Ir. Willett. Assistant Secretary of the
department of Agriculture, ha received
a letter from Ireland, which, he thinks,
if the writer is not too enthusiastic, will
solve the important problem of exclusive
and profitable flax culture in this country
The writer says:
"Thera is every reason why the Ameri
can farmers should produce a million
acres of flax for both seed and fibre over
and above wiiat is now produced, which
would give 12,000.000 to 13,000,000
bushels of seed, worth as many millions
of dollars, and 2.500,000 of tons of liax
straw, worth i!.0,000,000, and from which
500,000 tons of flax fibre would be' ob-
t,;,i -r.rh i. 1 00 0;K) 000. Once cs-
tablished, American inventus would
soon build up an industry to consume the
raw material.
'Further than this, I have to tay that
I believe an entire revolution in flax and
linen for the whole world is at haud,
and most assuredly an aiting the operation
of the next few months to demonstrate
this in America. I have discovered a
process JY which lhe flax straw is handl
ed and its fibre recovered in a length of
time of but five minutes, from the dry
natural straw to the perfect fibrq, doing
away -with all water or dew retting and
the labor of scutchinir. and nroducins h
fibre as soft and fine as raw Bilk. savinj
nore as sou ana line as raw ml, savin-
uio great expense oi uicaci.ing, wane wic
fibre is much stronger and the yield much
greater than ly the old process of dew
and water retting.
"I enclose vou a small sample of the
fibre as produced in fire minutes by the
new nrocesa from the flax tit raw taken in
its natural condition, and no injurious
chemicals are used, nothing more so than
an emulsion of linseed oil."
Eli Whitney's cotton gin did away
with the difficulty which was exactly an
alogous with our flax troubles. Is the

our day?

frauds, that statesman and journalist
points to the vote cast in November last,
in Plattsmouth, for Plattsmouth as coun
ty seat and compares it with that cast at
the same election for county commis
sioner, arguing that because there was
an excess of votes cast on the county

proves that tho excess so cabt was frudu

wf,r vr,t. oAt at the November elec-
tion. in hopes that the citizens of that
locality and the western portion of Cass
countv may read the figures and know
i just how honest that county seat ring at
Weeping Water i3. In the village of
Weeping Water, where the county seat
syndicate resides, there were cast at the
November election 508 votes for presi
dential electors and 747 votes for re
location of county scat, showing an ex
cess or 2:59 votes. In the Third ward of
lattsmouth, which the Weeping Water
editor selects as the polling place where
the greatest fraud was committed at
that election, there were cafc for presi
dential electors G01 votes, and against
re-location of county seat, 810; showing
an excess cf 200 votes. In other words,
at Weeping Water, according to the po
litical county seat logic of our editorial
friend out there, out of a total of 747
votes cast there were 239 illegal votes
cast, while in the Third ward of Platts
mouth out of a total of 810 votes cast
there were 20'.) illegal votes. What
does our Weeping Water neighbor thluk
of these figures? What sort of a show
inz does it make for a polling place
where the minauers of the election
franchise are charging everybody else

foot of that Journal. The safest thing
our neighbor can do is to good na-

men. The moment he goes to fooling
with the figures he cppils the effect of
his long illused county seat sectional ar
gument.

Rheumatic Syrup Co., Jachion, Mich:
Gexts: Your Mr. Brooks came here
tonight and registered as agent for Hib
bard's Rheumatic Syrup, apd as ho did
so it awakened in me an interest neyer
before realized in a guest at mv house.
You will not wonder at it when I tell
you the story.. For years I have been
greatly afflicted with iiiijammatory rheu
mafiem thp. nain and sorenctw of the
joipts at time3 being almost unbearable;
could move ajjout oulv- with the aid of
crutches. In addition to llia my stomach
became badly diseased, and neuralgia set
in, which threatened to end my day. A
traveling man stopping with me gave
quite a history of your Syrup, and the
peculiarities of its combination, which
induced mo to try it. I hav taken six
bottles and no act in my life affords me
greater satisfaction than in writing you
I am a well ian. -
It will be a pleasure for re G answer
any communications, for I beiieve U to
be the best remedy ever formulated.

And what is more important a "tobacco
breath" is decidedly untnenaiy to tiieni.
prm3 cf manv diseases infect

does not furnish tavorabie conditions tor
iimir lrulo-nient. According to The Sci-
o -- - "
ence, Dr. Uajek, of Vienna has declared
that smokers are less liable to diphtheria
thnn non-smokers in the ratio of about
one to three; and . Dr. Schiff says that
smoking is forbidden in the bacteriologi
cal lalioratories, because it is known to
hinder the development of bacteria in the
wnrinna culture media. We think Dr.
Uajek does not go far enough, and be
lieve that ttie physician wno laKes a
'o-nrwl Rinoke" before he is exposed to a
diphtheria patient, and another as soon
soon as he leaves inui, is pracucaiiy saie
from infection.
Not a few clerervmen are quite proline
in inventions of new remedies and meth
od of treatment of disease. Such seem
to entertain the idea that their profes
sional training lias mauo mem unusuaiiy
.lipmin"- in matters physical as well as
moral. On of the latest contributions
this Konrca is a remedv for insom-
ni"fi The acent recommended as a cure
is the peanut, and it is advised that it be
eaten freely just before retiring. A mem
ber of the cergy reports success with
this treatment after having fried other
means without good results, ur course,
the assumption is that the peanut pos
sesses some sedative principle, if it has
Rimh. however, it has never vet bvvn dis-
covered. The reaj value of the peanut
lies in its fixed oil, which amounts to
tlmn 20 ner cent. This oil has
about the same medicinal qualities os
olive oil. (Jheimsts endeavored to use it
in nharmaceutical preparations, but did
not do well with it. It has been used
for various purposes in the arts, as for
r.ilinc machinery, in the manufacture pf
light woolen cloths, etc. If the peanut
has a good effect in insomnia, it can be
nttrihurpd to its food value, pure and
simple. And there arp any number of
other foods which would be preferable,
for peanuts, as usually sold, are very dif
ficult of digestion, and If eaten freely at
bedtime for several nights, would be
likely to bring on a smart case of dys
pepsia. Let those who would use pea
nuts in insomnia try bread and niilk; it
will be just as serviceable as a remedial
'""Tina" extent pf injury which man can
suffer from and vet live is simply niar-
roL.ua no tho following case shows. It
also offers some evidence of the skill of
surgeons of the present day. A Parisian,
n(rol 90 vmrs. swallowed a wooden spoon.
Tvi-plra hours after he felt severe pains
and had a sensation of tearing asunder
in the neighborhood or the stomach, in
o ciwrt rim the &Doon could be felt just
a little above tho nayeL The following
day his physician, - weuw, vui uuwu
and opened the stomach, but found it
empty. He then mado an incision over
fhn eisv-n and easily extracted it. Now.
in this case, the spoon bored through the
walls of the stomach, ana nnaiiy passea
- tf it into thfi abdominal cavity, some
twelve or fifteen hours after it had been
oo-niirtwod. The tear it made in thp
stomach healed up with exceeding rapid
ity.'and, although that organ was taken
out and carefully examined when Le
Dentu opened it-forty-three hours after
the spoon had been swallowed no trace
of the tear ppuld be found. Another
marvelous feature about this case was
the wauJuring about of the spoon in the
abdominal cavity without setting up in
flammation. The operation lasted a little
over two hours, including the chloro
forming, and a 6peedy recovery took
place. In itself there was perhaps noth
ing wonderful, for gastrotomy is now
quite freqen'tly performed. In some re
spects fhis case 'was no more" interesting
than that of an iimaate in one of pur hos
pitals here. A man swallowed a set pf
false teeth. They did not pass down Into
the stomach, but remained lodged in the
lower part of the passage to it. The at
tending surgeon opened the stomach,
dislodged .tLe teeth and removed them.
A speedy .recovery took' place. Boston
