Homeseekers' excursions-
1892 , on August 30 and Septem
ber 17th , a rate of one lowest
first class fair willfte made from
eastern points to points on our
line for two homeseekers' ex
cursions. TheSe tickets will
be sold at all the principal rail
way points as far * jeast , as
Buffalo and Pittsburgh .Tick
ets will be good viMun4wenty
is expected that merefjsjrjil be
'quite a large immigration of
intending settlers to Nebras
ka , northwestern Kansas and
eastern Colorado , during this
summer and fall. This immi
gration can be very largely in
creased by judicious advertis
ing and work by the various
communities tributary to our
line. It is therefor suggested
that sections proposing to pre
pare such advertising matter
for distribution in the east in
regard to the inducements
they have to offer the farmer ,
the business man and investor ,
should begin to get their ad
vertising in shape at as an
"early a date as possible. In
case their plans contemplate
sending a good advertising
man to distribute their matter
and attend to their advertising
generallythis departmentmay
be able to give valuable point
ers as to the best method of
doing the work.
I think it is desirable that
editors of the papers along
our line should begin agitating
the matter in order that the
people may be prompted to do
more or less individual work
with their friends in the east
in the way of sending bymail
such matter as the different
counties or districts may prepare -
pare in pamphlet form or in
the shape of extra editions of
their home newspapers giving
full information as to the re
sources and advantages , and
directing attention to the very
low rates that will be made to
enable them to come and see
for themselves that the repre
sentations are not really up to
the reality.
The company has recently
issued a pamphlet in regard
to the agricultural resources
of Nebraska , which will be
furnished free to those who
may desire to mail it to their
friends in the east. This
pamphlet treats of Nebraska ,
northwestern Kansas and
eastern Colorado. I wish you
would present this matter to
editors at your place and also
to other parties who may be
interested in settling up va
cant farm lands of this state.

Bright's Disease of the Kidneys.
Will Pe-ru-na cure Bright's Disease
of the Kidneys ? The best answer to
this question that can be made is the
testimony of the thousands of patients
who have been cured by it. A single
demonstration of a fact is worth many
theories concerning it. The following
letter is a specimen of what we are re
ceiving from this class of patients.
GILMER , TEX. , July 18 , 1891.
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Co. , Columbus , Ohio Gents : As my
medicine has done me so much good I
thought I would write to you and tell
you about it. You can publish it if
you like. I bought eighteen bottle of
Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin. I had Bright's
Disease and gravel. I owe my life to
Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin. I would not
have lived a month longer if it had not
been for your medicine.
Yours truly ,
H. G. McCuLLouGn.
All persons desiring further details
as to the above cure are requested to
write Mr. McCullough , who will cheer
fully answer all letters of inquiry.
There is no form of kidney or urinary
disease for which Pe-ru-na is not a re
liable remedy. Gravel , catarrh of the
bladder , diabetes , pain or weakness in
the back or hips , dropsy , puffiness of
the face or feet , smarting , scalding or
scantiness are all curable by Pe-ru-na.
This remedy can be obtained at most
drugstores. In all cases where there
is also constipation or irregularity of
the bowels Man-a-lin should be taken
in addition to Pe-ru-na.

THE WITOH"WAS"SIVED.
Look lifter the littio one carefully

heavy to pleas me well , " said Dr
Endicott anxiously as no wearily
picked up his soft , brond hat.

Ilu&h ! Not a word to the child ,
but keep her close to the hou o and
In the warm sunshine. Above all she
mtu.t sutler no alarm or suspicion of
my fear. ' And the doctor strode
away with hurried footsteps but a
fearful heart
For many days the fever had raged
In Saem town. The ttr cken inhabi
tants thought little of giving it a fitter
name , for day by day heads drooped ,
eyes grew wild in delirium , hearts
cold in death , and loved foi'ins were
laid in the shady church yard , where
row after row of unsodded mounds
mutely told the terrors of tfte plaguo.
Thin and worn under the strain of
sleepless nights and toilsome days ;
faithfully going the round of duty , un
wearied , thoughtless of self , with
tender hand and sympathetic word ,
lightening the sufferings of rich and
poor. Dr. Fndicott. with something
very like a chill of despair , thought
of the Hushed .ace and drooping head
of his littio Jlargaret his one darling ,
his Daisy. And his memory traveled
back to the sweet May morning , some
seven years ago , when upon his door
step he had found a tiny baby girl ,
with a faded little white field daisy
clutched tight in her chubby hand.
Into his heart and his empty home he
had\taken the little stranger and the
h nju jpis empty no longer , for baby
smiles' and baby kissea lisping words
nd the patter of little feet awoke
sweet echoes in the long oaken corridors
riders , driving away the shadows of
loneliness. And now. the fever ! He
hastened on.
Scarcely less troubled.was old Els
peth. who had given the child all she
had known of a mother's care. But
Elspeth had a foolish tongue and
lived in Salem town In days when
superstitions were many and horrible ;
when fires burned for witches and no
one was safe from the attacks of the
terrible town council , and when she
bade the child stay near the house ,
forgetful of the doctor's command ,
she said :
Stray not from the garden , dearie ,
or the witch woman will find thee
and give thee the fever , and make
the blood in thy veins burn hot as the
fires on Witch's HilL"
The morning wore away. Little
Daisy tried to play with her kitten ,
but some way her head seemed very
dizzy and strange. She commenced
to make a ball of her namesake
flowers , but their little white faces
appeared to nod and sway as she
tried to pluck them. Her hands re
fused to do her bidding ; she was very ,
very hot and oh. so thirsty ! The
tired head fell forward on the grass
and the eyelids closed in feverish
sleep.
Suddenly in her dreams she cried
out : * Oh , Elspeth , Elspeth , ' I am
afraid ! " and a-sob gathered , ia , her
throat. But Elspeth was nodding
over her knitting and did not hear.
At the cry the gate was opened and
a strange looking woman , who with
bent head paced the walk outside the
high garden wall entered quickly
and bending with outstretched arms
beside the sleeping child , murmured ,
with streaming tears : "My baby , my
baby ! "
At the sound Daisy's eyes opened
heavily and gazed straight into those
above her. For a moment only.
Then with terror the child tore her
hand from the detaining grasp of the
woman , and scream after scream
awoke the echoes of the quiet garden.
The witch ! the witch ! I am burn
ing ; she has given me the fever ! "
From every side people came run
ning. Elspeth , the neighbors , the
passers by. but for a moment all feared
to approach the pair under the apple
tree. Little Daisy crouched on the
grass ; the fever-look they all knew so
well in her face : and the woman she
stood back against the tree , her knees
trembling , her eyes wild with terror ,
her dark hair , with threads of silver
interwoven , blown loose and dis
heveled. Truly a strange figure.
Then Elspeth. grown brave .for the
child's sake , gathered Daisy in her
arms , and the town constable , bolder
than his fellowa with rough hands
seized the terrified woman and dragged
her away at the head of a yelling
mob.
Burn the witch ! "
She is the one who has brought
the fever to our town ; burn her and
the fever with her ! "
Horrible cries these to one who was
friendless and had seen more than
one fire burn on Witch's HilL
Hurrying home when once the
alarm had reached him. the doctor
listened with erave eyes to the
nurse's tail , as with bits of ice and
cooling drinks he soothed the feverish ,
throat of his darling/ who lay tossing
in delirium and crying out about the
witch. And the shadows darkened
on the doctor's face as the night wore
on , for well he knew the uncontrolla
ble force of the people when such
tales had passed through the town ;
and he feared the council all the more
because his mind vras clear and
strong , and he scorned to believe in
witch tales and goblin storiea But
he could do nothing rashly , for it was
not safe to declare such thoughts as
V
his in these days of dnrlcnosj and stt-
por.stition , nnd ho niijriit sufuly v/uit

\Vhon ihu morning cnmo the child

orrund.
.First to the chief of the council. To
him ho told the story simply , thai he
might hoar it unadorned by thu voice
of rumor. Abe ho related how tiio
fever had seemed to bo upon the child
in the early morning , when ho had
seen her sitting in her little bed wiih
heavy eyes and tumbled curia. Ho
received permission as guardian of
the child , to bo present ut the trial
nnd won a promise of delay. Then to
the prison. Hero all was desolation.
Chained to a ring of Iron , the poor
woman lay exhausted on the damp
and clammy stones , almost crazed by
this , the last of many griefs. The
doctor sat beside her. soothed
her with that touch of sympa
thy so many iiad known in their tirao
of oilier trial and won irom her lips a
wonderful story , but one that made
the anxious shade grow still deeper
on nis thought'ul 'iicc.
With little Daisy all wont well-
The fever b eke out , nnd in the sweet
sleep of rest , that followed the only
words the child-lips utto.-ed were :
She sad ! my baby. " And the doc
tor laid his plana.
When the day of the trial camo.
held close in Dr. Jvidicott's arms , the
child told the great men of the coun
cil how her head had ache.l and &ho
could not play for di.sinoss all that
terrible morning , and how Elspotb.
h d told her the witch woman would
give her the fever. The doctor told
that in searching far for the cause of
the fever he had found a leak in the
dram of the great dye factory on the
hill. &o that the poison of the color
ing stuffs had mingled with the pretty
stream running through the center of
t cir town , and that from drinking
the water the people had died And
then the woman , with tears and
trembling , told her tale. How she
had been unhappy and poor and de
serted. How. knowing the doctor to
be good and true , she had one day loft
her baby at his door and wandered
away to find work and make a'homo
for her child. Of the years of trouble ,
of sickness and toil. and. lastly , how
she had come back to die near the
little one. only to be branded with the
terrible name of witch by her own
child.
And the eyes of the grave gentle
men were moist and tender when she
had closed her talc , and little Daisy
with nrms clo e about the poor wan
derer's neck had covered the dear
fnce with kisses.
Then Dr..ndicott knew he had
gained a victory. With joyful heart
he led them both to his home that
night , and from that day little Daisy
reaily knew what a mother's care
could be. for her joys were ever
shared in her dear companionship
and her little troubles whispered into
cars unfailing in sympathy mothers
cars. And she never forgot how in
finding her. that mother had nearly
been lost. Farmer's Voice.
N < j olcoii's Carriage.
The carriage in which Napoleon I.
made his famous retreat from Moscow
and in which ha as emperor general ,
sot. out from Paris in the campaign
which closed at Waterloo , is now pre
served at London by the trustees of
the Wellington estate , the relic hav
ing formerly been the property of the
Iron Duke. " It is a two-seated con
veyance , with top and sides lined
with iron ; there is also a front "cur
tain" of iron that can be raised and
lowered at wilL The wheels are
large and heavy , and the steps are
finished in curious battle designs done
insilver. The emperor used the back
seat and kept his pillows and blankets-
under it. The back of the front seat
was used os a cupboard , and was pro
vided with all sorts of culmery arti
cles and a small spirit or oil stove.

fnrZo > ItIc- About
It is a curious fact that clear yel
low amber exhibits no peculiarities
of texture when examined by the
most perfect microscope On the
other hand if opaque or white amber
be cu into thin slices and examined
by a microscope of from 200 to 500
diameters , round and oblong cavities
of varying sizes may be observed in
the interior. The cavities in milk-
white amber are smallest ; in the clear
yeilow there are absolutely none
while in the opaque yellow varietio- .
they have the appearance of a collec
tion of miniature soap bubbles. Water
nppears to be contained in these
minute cavities , for if fresh amber be
exposed to intense heat for some min
utes it very sensibly diminishes in
weight. From this it would appear
that this peculiar fossilized resin vrill
admit of water diffusing through its
substance. Another oddity in this-
connection ( taking the above into con
sideration ) is the fact that the in
sects found in it are always perfectly
dry. _ _ _
