OUTING SHOES.
It long ago seemed ns though
shoes could never be better nntl
never be cheaper , but they are
better now and cheaper now than
they over were before. The great
every day favorite is our men's
-and ladies' shoe. It is as much a
boon to the pocketbook as it is to
the feet. It won't wear you out
to wear it out. You don't need to
take care of it ; it takes care of
itself. It will give you solid com
fort for the simple reason that a
better shoe for knockabout pur
poses has never been produced.
If prices never appealed to you
before , the price of this shoe will ,
for it costs only $2.50. It will
look nicer and wear longer than
* my shoe on earth.

Sorry it is that many wedding rings
in these days are not worth more than
they were many years ago not worth
A rush. In the early day of England
wedding rings were made of rushes , but
in this age even more curious materials
are sometimes pressed into service
when emergency demands it. Many
cases are on record where rings of brass
-or iron and curtain rings and door keys
have taken the place of the bands of
, gold which nervous grooms have mis-
r Faid. One bride is said to have been
married with a leatber ring , cut from a
finger of one of her gloves , and another
.embarrassed young couple were re
lieved by a suggestion from the minister
that the wedding ring be cut from a
visiting card. Quaker and Swiss
Protestants do not use rings at their
marriage ceremonies. The Irish have
a strong objection to any but gold wed
ding rings. In St. Kilda wedding rings
made of worsted.

generally attended by all his friends and
neighbors there being more than fifty
carriages and wagons in attendance. )

The "silver state special , " running
between this city and Chicago over the
Rock Island , will be withdrawn to
morrow. Circulars containing notice
of the change have been forwarded to
connecting lines. It is claimed that
an experience of six months has shown
that fast trains west of the Missouri
river cannot be made a financial suc
cess. It is also intimated that the
Burlington flyer will disappear at the
same time with the Rock Island limit
ed , but the rumor is denied at the Bur
lington office. A railroad man stated
yesterday that the Rock Island and
Burlington fast trains have involved
an expense of $2,000 a day to each of
the lines since the inauguration of the

Winter Whoat.
The subject of raising winter wheat
is being agitated more and more
every day. People who never farmed
before are becoming interested in this
cereal. Winter wheat like winter rye
is a sure crop in this country. The
yield of wheat when properly put in has
prov3n much larger in this section than
spring wheat and of a great deal
better quality , grading No. 2 , while a
greater portion of the spring wheat
grades No. 1 or less , making the winter
wheat worth at least five cents per
bushel more. Our neighboring states ,
Iowa and Kansas , last year's , (1891) ( )
product in this cereal was much
larger than ours , Kansas having pro
duced 60,000,000 bushels Iowa 28- ,
500,000 , while Nebraska raised only
18,000,000.There is no reason why
we should not with equal advantages
in the way of climate , soil and our in
telligent farming community do
equally as well. By raising this cereal
the farmer can do the work in the fall
that otherwise he is compelled to do in
the spring during his busy season ; thus
enabling him to turn his entire atten
tion in the spring of the year to his
coin crop and other classes of farming.
Another thing his harvest is over much
sooner. Farming is like any other
class of business. The man in raising
stock , who has the best grade of stock
evidently makes the most clear money.
If I have a stock of hogs I can turn off
at nine months old , that will bring me
equally as much money as my neigh
bors will at fifteen months old I have
made a profit that he has not. The
same way with wheat. It costs just as
much to handle , thresh and carry to
market a bushel of inferior wheat , that
will not grade -at all , as it docs a bushel
of No. 2 wheat. Still some of our
farmers will go on raising this inferior
class of cereal and if he does not get
as much per bushel for it as his neigh
bor docs , he blames the administration
or says the railroads have robbed him in
Freight rates. Raise the best quality ,
and we assure ou that you will com
mand the respect of the markets of the
world. A great many people have not
thought probably that the difference in
the price of a car of No. 2 winter wheat
and a car of spring wheat that would
not grade in our eastern market at all.
would pay the freight tomarket. .
