If the i < * opl of O'naha arf wise the-
! will put a quiutus to the I8j9 exposi
tion. The people of the country are
tired of putting money into the pockets
of Omaha merchants , and if the expo
sition is continued for another year the
country merchants are apt to organize
a boycott against Omaha jobbers.
Omaha is a big town , but there are
several people in Nebraska who do not
live in the metropolis.
A dispatch from Dallas , Texas , says :
Reports from the cattle and sheep-rais
ing districts of Northwestern Texas ,
Oklahoma and Indian Territory show
heavy losses because of the blizzard
that has prevailed in those sections
since last Sunday night. The mercury
dropped 60 degrees during Sunday
night , and the country was generally
frozen up. Thousands of head of sheep ,
half-grown calves and cows h ve per
ished.
The report of the United States
Treasurer , Ellis II. Roberts , shows
that during the past fiscal year the net
ordinary revenues of the government
were $403,321,335 , an increase of $57-
597,630 over those of the previous year ,
while the net ordinary expenditures
were ? 4:43j6Su82 : X { , an increase of $77-
954,42.j.The deficiency of $ 38.047,247
exceeds that of the preceding year by
$19.994,793. The total available assets
were $874,764.377 on June 30 , 1897 ,
and $839,606,736 a year later.
W. C. Gillette , a prominent stock
man of Abilene , Kansas , failed last
Friday with liabilities amounting to
about $1,000,000. Gillette's paper is
held by banks all over the country , and
is said to be pretty well secured. The
failure was precipitated by the fore
closure of a $40.000 mortgage on prop
erty at Abilene , and immediately after
this fact was made known Kansas City
creditors swooped down and began to
attach everything in sight. Gillette is
missing. Speaking of this gigantic
failure a state paper wisely says : "It
is growing plainer every year that there
is a vast amount of money to be made
in cattle on these western plains , but
the men to make it are the small oper
ators who do not get more stock on
their hands than they can care for to
the best advantage. The day of the
"cattle king" ended many years ago ,
fortunately for the great common
people of the plains. Instead of a few
plungers we are to have a whole race
of thrifty , prosperous stock raisers ,
owning their own plants and herds and
doing business on a safe and profitable
basis. The disappearance of men like
Gillette from public view is not a
calamity to the cattle interests of the
west. "
County Treasurer Thackrey this
week called in all but $500 worth of
1897 warrants , and expects to call the
balance of that issue and about
2.000 worth of 1898 warrants before
January 1. During : the year he has
paid oil $2,000 worth of bonds , and the
county commissioners have about
52,000 of the 1898 levy left to draw
i
warrants against. He figures that
on January I the count } ' will owe at :
least $5,000 less than it did last Janu
ary. This is a splendid showing , an'd .
as we predicted a year ago Avill soon
bring the county onto a cash basis.
All this has been done , mind 3ou ,
without increasing the tax levy ,
which is the same as last year. The
amount of taxable property was
much larger this year than last , and
will be still larger next year. "We
would not be surprised if our indebt
edness was reduced $10,000 next year.
MARRIED At the home of the
brides' parents , November 30 , 18U8 ,
Mr. Charles B. Ricketts and Miss
Mamie A. Jelfers. Mr. Ricketts is a
native of Indiana and now has his
residence near Merriman , this county- ,
where he is engaged in the cattle
business. The bride is one of Cherry
county's successful school teachers
and is well and favorably known to a
large circle of friends and acquaint
ances. Thus these young people start
out on life's journey under very fav
orable circumstances , and the desire
of their many friends is that they
may be very happy and successful in
life. The wedding was quiet and
pleasant , and the contracting parties
were the recipients of many valuable
and useful presents. The supper was
and enjoyed by all present.

PROMPTPERFECT AND COMPLETE
I was troubled with catarrh and asthma forever
over five years , wliicli causetl a great deal of
uuflering , inconvenience and embarrassment ,
Lhe continual discharge of mucus from the nose
and throat was especially disagreeable , and I
sufl'ered almost continually with headache ,
frequently became very hoarse and the expec
toration and continual desire to clear the throat
was very annoying.
Had tried almost every catarrh medicine I
heard of , and also took treatment from promi
nent physicians , and did not find the desired
rel iff until I used Dr. Moore's Aerial Medica
tion , and the relief obtained from it was
prompt , perfect and complete. I am willing
for my name to be used to anything \ \ \ regard
to this treatment , for I believe it tq"be all that
is claimed for it , and I do not hesitate to rec
ommend it to all w ho arc sufleriuc as I was.
