It is altogether probable that the
canal projectis notreceivmg the thought
the important enterprise merits. Every
businessman and farmer should be wide
awake to the vastness and possibilities
of an irrigating ditch , such as the one
proposed , to this country and city.
When the crop is harvested it will
be found that there is considerable .grain
in the country. The writer noticed a
sample from Levi D. Gockley's place ,
a few miles northeast of the city , which
is of fair height and splendid head. Mr.
Templin of Box Elder also reports over
a hundred acres of grain that will yield
over a half crop , which will in all proba
bility make him as much money as a
full yield. Others report a fair pros
pect , although in every case the straw
is very short , and in some instances the
harvesting process will be more or less
difficult.
One of the most delightful entertain
ments of the season was the reception
given by the W. C. T. U. at their head
quarters , in honor of Hon. J. B. Cessna
and wife , of Hastings , Neb. Refresh
ments were served and after the heat
of the day the cake and cream were very
acceptable. The social part of the even
ing was most entertaining , both Mr.
and Mrs. Cessna giving valuable hints
and suggestions on the temperance work.
As the midnight hour approached , each
guest departed , feeling he had feasted
both mind and body. Every detail had
been planned with a view to the comfort
and pleasure of all present. w.c.T.u.
There is a general awakening in
Western Nebraska to the importance
of irrigation. McCook should not be
backward in pushing her unexselled
prospects in this matter to fruition.
The advantages of an irrigating ditch
need not be enumerated. All intelli
gent and thoughtful citizens are fully
advised on that point. That the French
man flows sufficient water to irrigate an
immense area is established by experts.
It remains to interest capital in this
splendid project and there is a mint of
money in it for the farmer as well as
for the ditch company. The ditch is
feasible and there are millions in it.
There is not an enterprise in sight that
has as much value to this section of
the state as the proposed canal. Let
it be pushed with all vigor and earnest
ness and all fear of crop shortages and
of failure will be removed. The coun
try will undergo a mostradical and satis
factory transformation , and enter upon
an era of prosperity unheard of in its
history. Speed the ditch. It is a large
enterprise to be sure , but that is the
more reason for the most vigorous and
determined action.

It is now leas than two months before
the opening of the state fair. That
fact is called to mind by the appearance
of the press tickets , beautifully engrav
ed bits of cardboard , that are sent by
Secretary Furnus to every newspaper
man who is in a position to be of assist
ance to the fair association. Some criti
cism has been brought out by the free
dom with which these tickets have been
issued in the past. It is criticism that
should be ashamed to be seen in public
places. The average newspaper man
who receives courtesies from the board
of managers will give the fair free adver
tising worth from two to twenty times
as much as the cash value of a season
ticket. And that is the reason itmakes
the gentlemen of the Nebraska press
so extremely fatigued whenever they
hear of the ruinous prodigality of Sec
retary Furnas in distributing compli
mentary paste-boards. Journal.
Lisle and fine cotton stockings replace
silk for prudent wearers during the heat
ed term , as silk loses its luster when
two or three times worn and can hard
ly be told from cotton. Deep ecru bal-
briggans are worn with walking coats
and with tan shoes , which they suit in
color. Black cotton stockings with
white feet are worn with boots as they
do not blacken the feet. New hose are
spliced at the ankles , where the edge
of the low shoe rubs most. A novel
idea is to cut off the toes and heels of
worn black stockings , hem the edges and
wear them over very thin light lisle.
The effect with any shoe is a decorous
black stocking , but the injurious effects
of the dye on the skin are prevented.
Handsome embroidery silk hose do duty
in this way much longer than ordinary.
The black silk underwear is not favored
for health or refinement and is only
worn by women who make a display of

"You can't guess what new handiwork
society is playing with , " says an ex
change. "Needlework is out of date ,
painting and spatter-work have lost their
charm , and knitting never was a fash
ionable waste of time. The cheapness
at which the apparatus foraraateur pho
tography can be procured has "common-
ized" that art ; poker work is not gen
erally admired , and , aside from thehard
work and scientific skill necessary to
make a good tennis player , the sport is
limited to youth and beauty. Hence
the need for a new device to occupy
pretty hands and display delicately mold
ed wrists and beautiful jewels. For the
nonce the gay world is folding napkins.
The snowy napery is sent up stairs in

are popular forms , and then there is a
more difficult series , including a pagoda ,
Cinderella's slipper , the Oxford , Cam
bridge and Cariton tower ; historical
crosses , the ins , swan and peacock , and
the crests of a half-dozen principali ties.
It must not be supposed that these nap
ery designs are originated. On the con
trary , they are the result of long and
close study from imported paper pa tter n s.
The models are done in antique paper
and the creases so well pressed that it
is quite an easy matter to restore the
design after opening. These ornate fan
cies are arranged in the flat , never in a
tumbler , placed between the knives and

FACTS AND FIGURES.
Special to The Tkidunk.
Lincoln , Neb. , July 7. The na
tional holiday wus a right fielder for the
Prohibitory Amendment. The small
boy with his toy pistol and powder-burnt
eye , never got in his work more effect
ually than did the friends of prohibition
in the state at large. The Amendment
News Bureau feels authorized to draw
liberally from the carefully prepared
statistics that were hurled at the people
from the several hundred rostrums by
an army of trained orators and specialists.
The census shows Nebraska's pres
ent population to be 1,200,000. This
is an increase of 165 per cent in ten
years. Our increase in insanity dur
ing the same time has been alarming.
On the first day of July there were 310
patients in the Lincoln asylum , 175 in
the Norfolk asylum and 159 in the hos
pital for the incurable insane at Hast
ings. This gives a total of 644 , an in
crease of 268 percent , or 103 per cent
faster than our remarkable increase in
population. This sad exhibitis sufficient
food for reflection for the advocates of
legalized lunatic factories for many
weeks if they would only change their
fixed habits and just once stop and think.
Amid all the clamor that has been
mude about how prohibition has ruined
Kansas , it is refreshing to note that the
old John Brown State has increased her
productive industries 429 per cent in
seven years , from 1882 to 1889. In
this period Kansas made the most won
derful strides in the history of this coun
try. Woodworkingindustries increased
365 per cent ; metal working. 282 per
cent ; packing houses , creameries and
kindred animal industries , 13,100 per
cent ; fruit and saccharine industries ,
978 per cent ; leather , 745 per cent ; pa
per , 86 per cent ; stone and clay indus
tries , 3,822 per cent ; grain and flour ,
65 per cent ; salt-and water industries ,
10,585 per cent. The number of men
employed in productive industries in
Kansas in 1885 , prior to which no sta
tistics are available on this particular
point , were 15,387 ; in 1889 the number
had increased to 23,325 , an increase of
52 per cent in men employed in the
shortspace of fouryears. The increase
in Kansas population is 603,904orover
60 per cent , notwithstanding the fact
that something like 50,000 of her peo
ple joined in the mad rush for Oklaho
ma last year , when the whole country
was excited over that deceptive Eldo
rado. Kansas and Iowa have driven
their thugs , bums , cut-throats and dead-
beats over into Nebraska. South Da
kota is also scraping her vermin off on
us and it is no wonder our penitentiary
and asylums are overflowing.
calendar op crime.
Kansas commited convicts to her peni
tentiary as follows :
1886 415 ,
1887 360decrease 55
1888 341 , " 19
1889 339 , ' • 2
Total decrease 76
Let it be remembered that Kansas
kept up an increase in population at the
rate of 60,000 ayearfor ten years , while
crime kept decreasing.
Nebraska committed convicts to her
penitentiary as follows ;
1886 152 ,
1887 154 , increase 2
1888 162 , " 8
1889 195 , " 33
Total increase 43
This shows a difference in favor of Kan
sas of HP. The decrease of crime in
Iowa has also been so marked that Ex-
Governor Larrabee's last message to the
Legislature recommended the sale of
one of the penitentiaries to the United
States for the confinement of govern
ment prisoners. No wonder the name
of C. W. Mosher appears on Roggen
and Rosewater's "Business Men and
Bankers" list of saloon backers. Mo
sher is the Nebraska State penitentiary
contractor and he is afraid that prohi
bition will "stagnate his trade. " He
receives 40 cents a head per day from
the State for every convict and the
more crimes the more money for Mo
sher. This seems a little cold-blooded ,
but who on earth ever supposed that a
supporter and defender of the murder
ous liquor business could be suspected
of having a drop of philanthropic blood
in his veins ?
The Omaha Daily Republican has
come squarely out for the Prohibitory
Amendment and its fearless position
has been the topic of newspaper circles
for nearly a week. The management
of the paper is solidly and bravely re
sisting the boycott of the Rum Power ,
and the temperance people of the state
should rally to the support of their new
and powerful friend. It looks more
and more like a great land-slide for con
stitutional prohibition as the days go
flying by.
The joint debate between Samuel
Dickie , Edward Rosewater , Sam Small
and John L. Webster , is in progress at
Beatrice.
Hon. Church Howe made a powerful
Amendment speech at Auburn on the
Fourth of July , and predicted the adop
tion of Prohibition next November by
upwards of 15,000 majority. Coming
from such a well-posted politician this
s regarded as very significant by all
friends of the measure.
