As tie mind of man is so limited in Its ability to receive and retain , there must be a continual selection going on between what to know and what to re frain from knowing. The wise man has discovered that of the vast amount of truths and facts and wonders and ideas with which the universe is teem ing , only a small fraction can by any possibility be his , and his intelligence has no more important task to perform , than that of deciding not only what to .choose , but what to refuse. Thus , wherever there is a wise knowledge , there is also a wise and necessary ig norance. After a Long Time ! -patient waiting our machinery has at last arrived.

Mr. Spearman desires to correct the misapprehension concerning Governor Boyd. The Governor was not a candi date for national committceinanon , the contrary he declined the honor at the meeting of the Nebraska delegation. Owing to dissension existing among Douglas county democrats it was deemed wise by the delegation , after the Gov ernor had declined , to choose an out sider for the position. Referring to cheap lands and good crops in Nebraska , the Chicago Times says : "There is more profit in raising wheat on land that costs only ten dollars lars than on that for which the farm er must pay three times that sum. " This statement is a perfectly safe one. It affords no more ground for contro versy than the famous utterance of Grover Cleveland "The soil remains in its place. " A. McMILLEN , DllUGGIST , Wall Paper , PAINTS , OILS , GLASS. Come and see our new designs in wall paper. Few people know that there is a good and a bad way of drinking milk. Tbe bad-way is that which tkey usually follow , viz. , to swallow a large quantity at once. When milk goes into the stomach it is instantly curdled , and if it is curdled into one biu mass the juices of the stomach can work on only the outside of it. This is the reason that many people who like milk , and to whom it should be of the utmost bene fit , cannot drink it. They say it gives them indigestion , and they are right. Let them give it another chance. But this time they must sip it slowly , not taking more than a good teaspoonf ul at one sip , and taking at least four min utes to finish the glassful. Each lit tle sip thus becomes curled up by itself when it passed into the stomach , and the digestive juices percolate freely around it and it speedily becomes as similated. One of the best restoratives known after excessive fatigue , and one infinitely preferable to any form of alco hol , is a glass of hot milk. The heat seems to lighten it and to deprive it of much of the sweetness which is so cloying to some tastes. Walt Mason gallantly champions the gentler sex by the following statement of creditable facts : There are several reasons why a woman deserves all the admiration she receives. When politi cal nominations are being made she doesn't sit on sidewalk railings and go i * v * uvirfi nit ; uuiiuuiiic'j OKI ; uv/u ij u ti ij with hoarse enthusiasm for people she has never seen and never expects to see ; she doesn't wear an idiotic cam paign hat or stand on the corner at night and sing maudlin campaign songs ; she doesn't stuff her pockets with vile cigars for her friends and thus encour age them to commit arson by lighting them ; she just attends to her knitting like the sensible individual she is , for she knows the government at Washing ton will still live whether she yells or not. The assessors' returns show that in 1891 there were 114,214 acres in cul tivation in Red Willow county , valued at $172,782. Number of acres not in cultivation 201,765 valued at$334l3G.

The disastrous conflict of Wednes day between workingmen and a Pinkerton - ton armed force at Homestead , Pa. , will emphasize the popular detestation of that agency in the adjustment of difficulties between capital and labor. There is not a word to be said in de- lense of violent or unlawful measures in the enforcement of the claims of labor , but it is the duty of the properly constituted civil power to deal with such issues and not abandon its func tion to irresponsible mercenaries under private control who are in the market for the use of any who are interested in the intimidation of wage-earners. If you will take pains to remember the date , on the night of August 5 you will get such a view of the planet Mars as you will not have again in fifteen years. On that night Mars will venture up within 35 million miles of the earth , instead of preserving the usual respect ful distance of 140 million miles. It is believed that this disposition on the part of Mars to be neighborly will be appreciated by at least 1,000 telescopes in this country. Last night Charley Hine's son Ed met with a most distressing accident , which will cost him the loss of his left eye. He was engaged in loading a re volver. One of the cartridges required some force to place it in the chamber. The boy thoughtlessly struck the cart ridge with his pocket knife , an explo sion followed , the ball entering the left eye , destroying his eyeball and sight forever. The sanguinary outbreak between capital and labor in Pennsylvania will have a tendency to increase popular satisfaction in those sections which de pend upon agricultural as a means of fosteringlabor and sustaining commerce.

Wood and Piano Binders at S. M. Cochran & Co.'s. The chances are good for the aban donment of work in the steel plant at Homestead , Pa. , for some time to come. The officers of the company declare that the terrible event of Wednesday made it impossible for the union to control the labor of that plant in the future , and the failure of citizens to respond to calls to protect property indicates that it will be difficult to keep the iron men in check should another attempt be made to man the works. The situation is so grave that a long period of inaction seems to be the only possible result. Journal. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE vif
