' . The University of Ncbraskx has just
r issued a very attractive pamphlet def -
f Bcriptive of the school of agriculture ,
• which every fanner should send for.
This course in Agriculture is altogether
the most complete , practical and com
mon f-ense thing of tlte kind that has
ever come nnderour observation. It is
something that no farmer's hey or girl
of any ambition can afford to miss.
The people iu. charge of the school
realize the fact that most farmers' sons
and daughters cannot afford the time
and money required in the preparation
, Jor and completion-of a regular course ,
but that in farming as in any other
liusincss education and training pay.
Keeping this mvview , they have pre
pared a sbort , practical course of three
months , beginning Dec. 29 , 189G , and
ending M-arch 39 , 1897. It provides for
the following -studies : Soil tillage ,
diseases-of'farm animals , stock breed
ing and judging , feeding cattle and
hogs , farm-dairying , fruit raising and
"vegetable gardening , carpentry and
"blacksmithing , domestic economy , etc
An explanation given in the circular
of the marnier in which the instruction
is given shows that the student ob
tains-much < of it by actual practice and
• observation. Not that he will be ex
pected to-do the work of the farm with
which he is already familiar , but such
! operations as judging stock , milk test
ing , improved methods of butter-mak-
! ing , tree grafting , treating sick ani-
i mals.-etc.
No examinations arc required for en
trance.
There'is a registration fee of one
• dollar.
The cost'to each student last year
H -for room rent , table board , books , etc ,
H w-as about thirty-six dollars.

BIG PARADE IN NEW YORK.
One Hundred and Ten Thousand Cold
Standard Men in Line.
Niv. ' Yokk. Nov. . ' .
: . : To-day was the
day set for the great final parade of
the Republican organizations , and
practically no business was done in the
mercantile establishments , the interest
in the demonstration obliging even
those not in sympathy with the Repub
lican cause to suspend operations for
the day. Hours before there was any
chance of the advance guard of the
great parade appearing the sidewalks
on e'ther .side of the streets named in
the line of march were scarcely pass-
able.
Along the route of the parade , from
the Battery to Fortieth street , there
was a remarkable display of flags and
bunting. On Broadway and Fifth
avenue were myriads o American flags
of all sizes and thousands of yards of
bunting. At short intervals huge Hags
bearing the names of McKinley and
llobavt. and , in some instances , cam
paign mottoes , stretched across the
street. One large flag dealer estimated
that not less than § 500.000 had been
spent by the business men of New
York in decorating- their establish
ments , and it is figured that 500.000
ilag.s were waving to-day. At the
marble Collegiate church , at the cor
ner of Fifth avenue and Twenty-ninth
street , over the main entrance were
draped two silk ilags.
It is estimated that 110.000 men were
in line.

BISMARCK NOT ALARMED.
The Prince's Newspaper Orjfan Iteturni
to the Attack.
Bkiimx , N ov. . Prince Bismarck
apparently is not alarmed by the
threats to prosecute him , for his organ
the Hamburger Nachriehten , to-day
replied to the broadside of the oilieial
Iteichs Anzeiger of Tuesday , which in
timated that the fate which overtook
Count von Arnim might await those
who disclosed secrets of state. The
Nachriehten says : "The negotiations
of those days ( of Bismarck's tenure of
office ) were no strict state of secrets , but
belonged to history. There is no ne
cessity for secrecy so far as Oermany
and the dreibund is concerned , as the
treaty was made solely in compliance
with lhissia ' s wish and Germany had.
nothing to be ashamed of. On the con
trary , all peace-loving Germans have
just satisfaction. It is totally untrue
that the treaty implied' disloyalty to
the dreibund. The latter even allowed
Austria to be neutral in the event of a
French attack upon Germany or an
unprovoked German attack on Russia.
The whole dreibund could incorporate
in it if Russia was willing and conclude
the same ai-gument without abandon
ing its main purpose. This would
tranquilize all the friends of peace , and
if there Is any inclination on the part
of Russia it would be expedient to re
new the Russo-German treaty. ' '
The Hamburger Nachriehten then
takes the Reich's Anzeiger to task for
saj'ingof its announcement ofthe ex
istence of the Russo-German treaty
that "It will neither correct what is
false nor supplying what is incom
plete , ' ' .saying : "The statement made
is not false , as declared by the Reich's
Anzeiger. and the latter can only sup
plement what it declares to be incom
plete by publishing the whole treaty.
Under these circumstances the Ilam-
hurger Nachriehten considers itself en
titled to demand a public ratification ,
.as required by the press law , of the
Reich's Auzeiger ' s assertion. " '
KnRlish Wheels Xot "Wanted.
Wasiiixgtox , Nov. ' . ' . According to
reports from United States Consul
Parker at Birmingham the trade of

Countless Flags in Chieago.
Chicago , Nov. 'i. On nearly every
business block on the down town dis
trict were flags of all sizes to-day.
Many places were also decorated with
bunting. In the residence districts the
streets for miles were masses of flut
tering color , while in the windows
were displayed thousands of pictures
of the Presidential candidates inter
spersed with paper ilag.s. of which the
Republican national committee had
distributed nearly : . ' .000.000. Even the
bill boards were not exempt.

PICTURE OF HEALTH. H
From the Star , Valparaiso , Inu\ |
The attention of the Star having been S H
called to several eases of radical cures ' H
effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for J H
Pale People , it was determined to iu- ( H
vestigate some of the more notable of ' " H
these cases , with a view to disseruinat- H
ing exact information on the subject M
and benefiting others who were suffer- HH
ing. Prominent among those who had |
experienced benefits from the use of. H
this remedy was mentioned Mrs. .Mary j H
Noren , wife of John Noren , a prosperous - |
ous farmer , living northeast of Valparaiso - H
aiso , Ind. . and to her a reporter was H
accordingly dispatched. H
Mrs. Korea was found busily engaged K H
in household duties , but she found time l l
to detail her experience , and was willing H
and even anxious that the benefits she M
had felt should be told for the benefit M
of those who had suffered as she did. H
"I had been ill since girlhood with a i H
complication of complaints , " said Mrs. H
Noren , "never so much as to be confined j M
long in bed , but I suffered intense mis- ! H
cry. My chief trouble was with my' H
stomach. I felt a constant gnawing j H
pain that was at times almost distracting - H
ing , and which had been diagnosed by- H
different physicians as dyspepsia and. H
synipatheticdcrangementdepeudent oni M
the condition of the generative organs. / fl H
I had pains iu the back , sometimes so l
r
great as to make me unable to worky H
and frequent bilious attacks. 1 also > j |
sufi'ercd greatly from constipation , from. d H
which I never could find permanent re- 1
lief. Then these symptoms were agra- H
vated by rheumatic pains between the- M
shoulder blades , which were most excruciating - , M
cruciating in damp or cold weather. - H
After my marriage about five years , Mage
ago , and when my baby was born the H
trouble seemed to increase , and 1 was |
frequently so sick that I could not do j H
my household work. I tried different |
physicians and used numerous remedies. |
but all in vain , uatil one day last fall I H
happened to read of Dr. Williams Pink H
Pills for Pale People. My husband got O
three boxes from Mr. C. D. Rushtou , E
the druggist , and I began to use them. H
From the first I began to feel relief , H
and before the three boxes were gone- H
I was nearly well. The constipation H
was cured and the other troubles wero- B
so much relieved that I feit belter than. H
1 had felt for years. As I continued in. H
the use of the pills I grew better and l H
strong , my appetite was more natural , |
and my ilesh increased , until I am in H
the condition you see me now. " H
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain , in H
a condensed form , all the elements nee- j H
essary to give new life and richness to- H
the blood and restore shattered nerves. H
Pink Pills are sold by all dealers , or |
will be sent postpaid on receipt of price , M

In the agricultural line , Texas leads ( H
all other states in the variety of its- \ H
products. Cotton , corn , and the cereals * v H
grow and are raiseil in every section of H
the state anil in the central and southern - _ H
ern portions sugar cane and aorghum l |
e r.ie are profitably cultivated. On the |
Gulf Coast two or three crops of vegetables - |
etables are raised each year. J'erries. H
are shipped six weeks in advance of M
the home crop in the north. Pears , H
peaches , piums , oranges , figs , olives , H
and nuts all grow abundantly and can H
be marketed from two to three weeks H
in advance of the California crops. H
Large quantities of rice are now grown. H
If the land seeker , the iiome seeker , H
and the settler desires to secure a j M
farm larger than the one he occupies , |
on vastly more reasonable terms ; 11 " he M
wants more land to cultivate , a greater |
variety of crops to harvest , with proportionately - |
portionately increased remuneration , ' 1
at a less outlay for cost of production ; H
if he wants an earlier season , with H
correspondingly higher prices ; if he M
wants milder winter , all the year pasturage - H
turage for his stock , improved health , M
increased bodily comforts and wealth |
and prosperity he should go to Texas. |

In making a salad of fish , if you add M
a little cucumber pickle , chopped very JL I
Gne. to the dish before the dressing is J B
poured over , you will greatly improve - H
prove it. H
In all lives there is a crisis in the H
formation of character. It comes H
from many causes , and from some _ H
which on the surface tire apparently fl
trivial , but the result is the same a / H
sudden revelation to ourselves of our • jH
secret purposes , and a recognition of |
our perhaps long shadowed but now - |
masterful convictions. H
