The City of Onmlm.
Omaha Is a city of the metropolitan class ,
embracing- territory of twcnty-flvo square
miles nnd has n population , according to the
onicial census of" 1800 , of 140,452 , against,10-
518 In 1880 , showing a gain of over , ' 100 per
cent. The assessed valuation is $20,000,1100
nnd the actual estimated valuation of S22.V-
000.000. The city has sovcntv railos of paved
Bt-rcots , ninety miles of sewers , 17"i miles of
water mains , 10. ! miles of street railway and
12ii miles of graded streets. Omaha has 103
manufacturing establishments with nn in
vested capital of $7.015,000 , employing over
12,000 operatives and laborers. The city has
100 joolmip houses , with an invested capital
of $14,100,000 , and they do an annual business
which ngBrcgutes over $50,000,000. Besides
tbo metropolis there are eight othorinpnr-
tnnt towns and cities In the county , of wtiich
Bouth Omaha is of the greatest commercial
importance , being third in the volume ot
business done lu the packing line in the
United States. Mlllnrd , Elkhorn , Waterloo
lee , Vnlloy , Florence nnd Irvington -
ton nro all thriving llltlo cities.
The fact that Douelas contains a city so
largo as Omaha makes it the wealthiest and
most Important county In the stnto. The
name cause answered for the fact that the
prlco of land is highrr in Douglas than any
other county In the state. But It is errone
ous to suppose that Omana is all there Is of
Douglas county , for It IB a fact , as our figures
show , that there. Is a vast amount of crain
nnd stoclc raised on Douglas county farms
and some of the most elegant farm homes
within the borders of the state are owned by
Douglas county farmers who have tnado
ihoir money entirely out of the soil , as the
following personal interviews will show :
An Oil ! Timer.
, Mitchell Donohoo la a fair sample of the
progressive Douglas county farmer. Ho
owns n line property In the town of Elkhorn
and Is llvln ? at his onso , though ho admits
ho was once very poor. Ho says : " 1 came
to this county thirly-llvo years ago without
anything and entered 100 acres of land at the
Omnha land ofllce In 1S57. I mortirageil
eighty acres of it for a mule team , nnd fall
ing to moot the payment , forfeited the land ,
icaviug mo but eighty acres. I now own OS7
ncrcs In ono body , live miles south of Elu-
born , In section I1 , township 14 , range 10 ; 100
\Vutorloo , nnd thirty-eight acroi west of
Ellthorn , besides my homo of six lots where
I live. 1 bought my land a llttlo at a time
nt from $10 to &t5 per ncro. Have raised
grain and fed It to stock , usually feeding
more than I raised , tuouch year before last I
old 3,000 bushels of corn , liavo 1100 npplo
trees on the big place and plenty of small
fruit , nil of which does well. I built a largo
barn this , winter. I liavo made n success of
farming and have nothing to complain of. "
Undo .Success.
Isaac Noyos owns nud lives on n farm of
1,300 acrus , bordering on the Elkhorn river ,
between the towns of Waterloo nnd Elk-
horn. It is ono of the handsomest nnd best
farms In Douglas county , presenting a
beautiful picture wllh its silvery river
boroor , smooth bottomlands , elegant build
ings and grounds. "Yos , " aold Mr. I\o.vo.s ,
" 1 pro-omptcd my first 100 acres in 1857 ,
nnd to show you that the prospect was not
very Inviting at that time , nnd for years
nftorwnrd , I will relate a circumstance lu
point : Jucob Kirlc came here in 1S5IS and
becurod 100 ncros nnd lived on it until lfa7 ( ! ,
wtion ho got tired , concluding that the
country was no good , nml thnt uls land
would never bo worth anything , olTorod to
give It to mo frco gratis , i advUoa him to
stay by it , hut when ho said ho was
determined to go back to lown , I told him I
would not only accept the gift , but would
Klvo his wlfo MO , which I did.
Bomo of Mr. Kirk'c children'wero born on
that place , nnd were tlio first born In this
port of the country , but no tie could bind
him to this country at that tlmo. I raised
15,000 bushels of corn last your , nnd about
the snmo tno year boforo. Last year I sold
7,000 bushels nt57 cents per bushel , though 1
usually feed It all. Have on hand now :100 :
catllo and am feeding 110 bo.td. I market all
my stock at Onmlm , nnd do not think it would
pay to go to Chicago unless It would bo wllh
export cattle. I uuvo paid but llttlo atton-
tlon to fruit , but hnvo all I need for homo
use. However , this is an excellent fruit
country. Bo far as n change of conditions
between the present and early years ar
concerned , from n farmer's standpoint , I
would rather undertake to make a start here
now than then. A young man , full of llfo
nnd hope , can coiuo hero now , go In debt fro
eighty 01 100 acres of land , and teen pay for
it all right without being called upon to un
dergo the privations of tno early settlers. "
Htnrtoil with Xothlnj- .
George Golston of Elk City talked inter
estingly of his early ttrugglcs with poverty
and lotersucccs * as a fanner. Ho came herb
in 16 < JO with nothing , and bought bis first
land four years later , llo now has a line
farm of 240 ncros , well Improved and stocked ,
and bni all the comforts aim conveniences
that any ono could dcsiro In n country homo.
Mr , Uclston says ho first raised grain to sell
uud made money out of wheat , but of late
years has turned hU attention to stock , and
feeds from sixty to 100 head of catllo a year.
Nought corn last year at 40 Mills a bushel ,
to feed to catllo , ad made it pay. I have
always noticed that I make moro money out
of slock when grain Is high than tuo reverse.
Last year 1 wont to Omahn mm culd KU5
per 100 for forty head of doors , fed them
40 cent corn until they put on u gain of
451 pounds each , and then sold thorn
In Omaha for $3.50. I had 180 acres of
corn lost year that averaged forty-five bushels
per aero , forty aeros of oats that uvoraged
ilfty buthols. I had UOO bushels of apploi
last fall , but wo fanners all got beat when
wo bought our trees of travollug agents who
old ut nursery stock not true to uume. The
result is wo have nothing scarcely hut sum
mer and fall fruit. I bavo MO apple trees in
I ) , sotno of them too young to bear. I think
joy mail who will got dowu to business as
wo were forced to do In the early days can
ocqulro a homo and mnko n good living hero
farming. Mr. Oelston bcenn wltn abso
lutely nothing , stopping In Douglas county
on his way back from n wild geese chase to
1'iko's poaK. Ho lived on his farm whan Mr.
Hosowatcr was a telegraph lineman , nnd re
lated nn incident In which ho assisted the
present editor of Tun Hnn in putting up a
fallen wlro near his placo.
O. A. Wolcott.
O. A. Wolcott Is also an Elk City farmer
who has grown up with the country nnd
made himself qullo comfortable by tilling
the poll. Ho came to this country twanty-
Mx years ago with n few dollars nnd n team ,
nnd now has n well improved farm of 070
ncrcs to show for his Industry nnd coed
management. Ho has accumulated his lands
by degrees , paring from $3 to $ 'JO nn acre.
Ha feeds cattle the year around , nnd gen
erally buys grain. Could have made money
out of hogs , but have lost thorn nil thrco dif
ferent times. My corn was not very goou
lint season , Mad some thr.t wont Ilfty bushels
ols per acre , but It would not nvcrago so
much. Fed 100 head of oattlo during the
season. I hnvo six acres of orchard , always
have fruit , nnd hnvo sold apples nt $ J. 0 per
bushel , llnvo ten acres of grove now big
cnotich to furnish nit the wood I need. No-
bras'kn cannot bn beat for farming purposes ,
so far as natural advantages go , but I nm
not entirely sntlsllcd with the way markets
nro manipulated by big operators , trusts and
combines. My land Is now worth nt least
$35 per aero.
Wliltmnro Itros.
W. O. and Frank Whltmoro , under the
firm name of Whltmoro liros , , own nnd op-
crate n model fnrm of TUO acres , ono-liiilf
mlle west.of Vnlloy , lying between the Plntto
nnd Elkhorn rivers. They bought their llrst
half section fourleon years ago at $12.50 per
aero and have added to it ut Various times
since at prlooa varying from $12,5'J to $ 3 nn
ncro. It is till under fcnco nnd Is well
stocked with norscs nnd cattle. Four hun-
urcd ncrcs of It Is seeded down to tntno gross ,
timothy , clover nnd bluornss , generally
mixed. W. G. Whltmoro says : "Wo hnvo
clover pastures that have been seeded dowu
for twelve years , nnd hnnvlly pastured , thnt
is just ns good now us over , nnd In fact , is as
itood as can bo grown In any slate in the
union. Wo miiko a bustnoss of baling and
marketing bay , nnd bnndlo nu nnnual output
of about ( i.OOO tons. Wo usually hnvo nbout
: t,000 tons of our own raUlng , made on
leased non-rrsldcnt lands , besides buyIng -
Ing nbout the snmo amount from
the farmers around us. Wo pay about mi
average of $3 a ton , nnd sell at nn nvcrngo of
nbout $5 , the dllTercnco boin < expense 01
baling nnd placing on track and our prottts.
Wo bavo established n plant here which
mukos n market for all this hay which form
erly went up in smoke. Last year wo sold
bay on truck nt ? 10 n ton a * fast as wo could
lonil It , but of course that wns nn exception.
Wo nro now selling nt M.50. Wo nlso buy
and ship nbout 100,000 bushels of con , uyonr.
Wo feed about 150 head of cattle each year.
Wo sold in December 175 head of fat cattle
and hnvo on hand in all about 100 head. Wo
feed the year around , have our cattle fat on
clover In July and finish thorn on ground
food mixed with oil cuko and bran on scion-
tilic principles , nud bavo topped the Chicago
markets for the past two years. Our tame
grass pastures gives a big ndvnutago. Wo
arc breeding Peroheron horses nnd now
have on hand forty-three head , including
some line l.'JOO to 1,100-pound brood mares.
The coming season , in common with
some of our neighbors , wo plant a few acres
ol sugar beets , as n starter , so ns to bo ready
when Omaha builds a factory. A number of
our farmers have of Into years raised seeds
quite extensively for eastern seed houses ,
and have raano it pay , but tnoy ate looking
forward to the boot sugar business , which
they think will pay bettor. "
The Whltmoro brothers have each built
fine houses the past season and their barns ,
sheds nnd appliances for the care of stoclc
ana farm products nro models of conveni
ence. W. G. Whltmoro's new residence Is
perhaps the best and costliest house of Its
size in the county , outside of Omaha. I' Is a
perfect gem from cellar to gnrrer , nnd is fur
nished to correspond. The building was
planned by nn Oranhn architect nnd the
grounds are being laid out by nn Omnha
landscape gardonor. Looking from a second
story front window flvo counties can bo soon.
But all this is only a Douglas county farm
and the proceeds of intelligent labor.
Grain , Stock unil Fruit.
W. C. AInsworth of Elic City Is known ns
a successful fruit raiser ns well as farmer.
Ho owns a splendid farm of 375 acres which
ho purchased eight years ago at $35 per
aero. Mr. Atnsworth says ho fed sixty hood
of cattle this year and lost money on them
but would have made good money had ho
tolu at tbo right tlmo. Ho carries on farm
ing extensively but takes special pains with
and dollghtln propagating fruits of all kinds.
Ho says : "Have twenty ncros of orchard in
fine condition. Proper varieties will do well
hero nnd ns for Douglas county , the ridpo
overlooking the Eltchorn all along here seems
to bo specially adopted to fruit raising.
Small fruits of all kinds thrive well and
yield abundantly with anything like proper
care. The worst thing we have to contend
with is the unscrupulous traveling agents lor
eastern nurseries , whoso catalogues always
show nil tuu varieties ono might want to
order , but when tlio trees bogln
to bear wo . find that few , if any , of
their trees provo true to nntno. The
consequence is that many orchards are al
most prolltless. I am In favor of patroniring
our homo nurseries nnd believe trees from
them will do better and are less npt to blnck-
honrl thnn rostorn trees. Bcsldoa , homn-
grown trcos uro not exposed for uuys nnd
perhaps shriveled up before they aro" trans
planted. There nro only thrco or four
varieties of chornos thnt cnn bo prolltably
raised hero , The English Morollo is the
best and early Richmond Is good. I had two
tons of grapes last year and am extending
my vineyard every year. Blackberries and
raspberries I bavo moro than" 1 want , and
whllo Ihoy roijuiro some attention anybody
cnn hnvo them who will. This section of
Douglas county is destined to become a great
place for fruit , as It is naturally adapted
to it.
The Farm 1'nyg licst.
F. T. Hober , a prominent hardware dealer
nt Elkhorn , was seen and upoko as follows :
"I own 1120 acres in Dodge county , which I
bought twelve years ago at til.50 to $25 per
aero , nnd have put thousands of dollars in
improvements ; bavo a good house and barn
and plenty of fruit of all Kind. ' ) . I made my
first and bast money farming , nnd although
1 havu a nlco business hero , my farm pays
mo boat , oven in the hands of a router. Year
before last my share of the crop made mo
over $1,000. I think Nebraska farmers have
a bonanza , provided always that they work
and manage nud do not spend their time
hunting up aomeihlng to complain about , "
Nuvcr Had u Failure.
John Ttryunt U ono of the oldest and best
known farmers around Elk City. Ho has a
beautiful homo and Is surrounded with the
rural comforts which city people so much
doslro but cannot possess , the fruits of years
of patient toll , Mr. Bryant says : "I came
here from England in 18515 , where I followed
farming , pre-empted my first quarter scutio.i
thirty-six years ngo and now have 200 acres
nicely Improved , as you sco. I have spent
lots ot money in Improvements , and have
made It all on the firm. I have six acres of
orchard and had a line crop'of apples last
yoar. Some of my neighbors culled mo n
fool when I was planting my orchard , but
the sequel proves that I was right. This is a
good fruit country , and results will bo still
better whuu fruit raisers can get proper
variotloj. 1 have never fed much stoclc , but
have mndo a success of farming Just the
sanio. There Is no trouble about farming In
Nebraska , provided one has the will and
uses ordinary Judgment. 1 have ralsou
thlrty-Jivo crops hero and never experienced
a failure. True , certain kinds of crops have
at times been ruthor light , but always a fair
yield. "
I'rcfer * Nchru ln.
James Gllmoro is thoovn.cr of ono of the
prelticjt farms in Douglas county , Ivlng
nbout two miles northwest of Elkhorn. Mr ,
Gilmore gave his experience thus : "I oame
to Douglas county thirteen years ago with n
team nud $10 In money , I have 240 acres of
land which I bought for f 10 to $15 an acre.
I have put lots of money in improvements ,
have good house and barn and as good cattle
sheds as there uro in the country. I have
been feeding cattle for the past tlvo years ,
have 100 head on hand and air feeding tulr-
ty-llyo. I muda most ot what I have bv feed
ing stock , but have < old oomo grain. I have
a small orchard , but bavo not glvou fruit the
attention it uoserves as I consider this nn ex
cellent fruit country. Have tried farming in
Illinois and Iowa and prefer Nebraska to
either. Wo are moro sure of a crop hero and
got bolter yields , besides it is a healthier
country. "
limit * ill * Farm.
Andrew Patrick , residing north of Elkhorn -
horn , s > s : I bavo boon in Nebraska since
1SUO. Boucut my llrtl laud m 1&7S , paid
$12.50 per cro for It. I have 210 acres , highly
Improved , largo house , barn , sheds , ex-
tenMvo groves furnishing all the wood I
need , largo orchard In good bearing , trcos
nil doing will. I nm n carpenter by trndo
nnd rent my land for grain rent , which Is
moro profitable thnn cash , but I star right
with my farm so as to see that repairs are
kept up and everything taken cnru of. Last
year the corn on my plnco made forty-llvo
and year before fifty bushels per acre ;

twenty-two .bushels per aero , I cntno hero
\vtth only $1 in money nnd bavo done reason

Hough ! n Farm.
W. A. Gray nlno years ago bought n farm
of 100 ncros , two and three-fourths miles
northwest of Elkhorn for $ s au aero. Mr.
Gray says ho still owes some on iho plnco ,
but Is In n fmr wny to pay it out. Ho hns
put considerable money into Improvements
nno. Is surrounded with every comfort a farm
can produce. Ho has live acres of grove mid
bus thrco acres of grapes. Ho hns not mndo
a business of feeding caltlo , but has made
more money out of hogs thnn anything olso.
"Last year my corn averager ! Hfty bushels ,
onts forty per ncro. I cams hero from fn-
dinna , where I farmed , but this certainly
beats It. Vcs , farming is all right in this
country. "
J. , T. .Miller.
J. .1. Miller has a farm ono nnd n hnlf
miles west of Vnll&y , which is eng of Iho

George Droxcl hns owned aad operated a
small farm of ISO acres at Elk City , for the
past four yoars. Ho has his httlo place well
improved , both as to buildings and cultiva
tion , and has an orchard nt 2UO trees , with
small fruit In abundance. "I claim that
farming in Nebraska is a profitable business
if properly carried on. I feed soroo catllo ,
but am giving most of my attention to horses ,
which I think moro profitable. I consider the
Omaha market a great advantage to the
farmers of the state. "
John I.einko.
Mr. Lomko is ono of the pioneers of Doug
las county , settling hero in 1800. Like most
of the old settlers ho came hero ompty-
hanclcd. Ho formerly lived in Illinois , and
came bore to get cheap land and soon owned
a whole section. Nine years ago ho quit
farming and turned his entire attention tn
handling and shipping stoclc. Ho is ono of
Iho best known stock shippers in Nebraska ,
and it U a rare thing when the name of
John Lcmko , Mlllnrd , docs not appear in
the South Omaha papers as being on the
market with slock. Ho bought his land at
different times along as ho could pay for It ,
and made It all by farming. Ho has sold
some of his land , but still owns 320 acres in
Chicago precinct and 100 acres In Mlllard
precinct , nil of which ho routs out. Ho lives
In u splendid homo in tbo lown of Mlllard.
surrounded by all the comforts of modern
llfo. Yes , said Mr. Lomke , I think farming
pays in Nebraska. I know men who a low
years ago worked for wages , afterward
rented land and later still bought tbo farms
they had rented , have them paid for ana nro
now In independent circumstances. I have
In mind ouo man who rented a farm two
miles soulh of Mlllard in the edge of Snrpy
county , mndo money every year , soon bought
Iho farm for $7,000 , nnd Is now well off , Tbo
nvorago prlco of land around mo is about $40
per aero. Tbo Omahn stock market for hoes
is peed and It will not pay to ship common
cattle to Chicago , though it will pay to go to
Chicago wllh heavy export cattlo. Speaking
of Douglas county farms I will say that in
my opinion tbo land here will stand moro
rain and moro drouth than that of any other
portion of the slate.
I'ald For It In Olio Year.
John nolii , proprietor of the Hold hotel nt
Valley , came to Douglas county in 1870 ,
bought eighty acres at f 12.50 , ton years ago
boucht eighty moro at saino price and 100 at

having- first pro-omptod n quarter section.
Ho cnmo from eastern Missouri with nothing

homesteaded 100 moro. He now owns 700
acres four miles west of Mlllard , ICO In Sarpy
county and 100 in Wuyno county. Has made
most of his money out of hoca and corn ,
though has fed some cattlo. Each of his
farms hnvo good buildings and orchards.
Mr. Karsiensays ho has never known of a
failure of crop * in Douglas county. Speak
ing ot the Omaba market ho said It was a
great thing for the farmers of Nooraska. Ho
unhesitatingly says that the chances for
starting hero now arc as good or better than
when bo began. If a now beginner has no
team ho can work and buy ouo , and if bo has
a team can rout land and teen buy a farm.
Thinks beet sugar raising will be prolltable ,
and some of bis neighbors will raise souio

to Omahn In t.ho.fnll of 1SM1 nnd the follow
ing spring pro-cmM'ad n quarter section of
land where 1 now live , paying MO per cent for
the use of the neccssnrv money. I had n
yoke of cattle wni-n I landed on the Ne
braska sldo of thtf'river and went to work
hauling logs for Kanlsbury ft Smith's saw
mill , which stood at the ferry landing , n llt
tlo north of whom'tho Union Pnclllo shops
now stnnd. My wfo ! COOKOO for the man at
the mill , so wo both worked. In Iho spring
of ISG7 I got lumber sawed for n shanty nnd
loaded It up , together with n lot of pro
visions for wo didn't know as wo would got
back to town very soon and traveled hereto
to this spot , where wo have lived over slucc.
Wo built the house In ono day. I have since
built two houses hero the first , not counting
the shanty , costing $1,500 , nnd the ono I now
live In $ j,500. The barns nnd sheds have
cost mo In the neighborhood of $ . ' ) ,000. 1 now
own 1GSO ncrcs of Innd , which I bought nt
various times at prices ranging from f 5 to
$50 per aero. Wo hnvo about 600 apple trees
and always have plenty of fruit. This Is n
good fruit country nnd I know men who nro
making money out of It. I have made my
biggest money out of cattle and feed from
100 to 150 head every year. I am not ono of
those who think the cattle market Is con
trolled by n few men. Last your corn was
high nnd I got $5,70 for my catllo. This
year 1 do not expect moio than $1. Ko you
sco ihoro nro other ciuses for thu rise nnd
fnll of Iho markets besides Iho manipulation
of Inrgooperntors. The Liverpool market
governs prices hero to n great extent. The
South Omaha market is n great thing for the
stnlo. Wo cnn now tnko our fnt stock thcro

well improved farms nro worth from
$00 to $05. I used to rnlso wheat to
soil nt $1 to $1.25 per bushel nnd still
rmso some every yoar. Yes , I think a man
could start here now without money easier
thnn in early days , for the reason that ho
can got work at good wages mid not bo called
upon to suiter the hardships and Incon

used to go to Cnlhoun with n Httlo grist of

Just the snmo. 1 have renlors who began In

A Close Cull.
Air. J. P. Blnize , nn extensive real estate
dealer In this city , narrowly escaped ono of
the severest attacks ot pneumonia whllo In
the northern part of the state during the rn-
ccnt blizzard. Mr. Blaizo had occasion to
drive several miles during the storm and was
so thoroughly chlllod that ho was unable to
get warm , and inside of an hour after his re
turn ho was threatened with a severe case of
pneumonia , or long , fever. Mr. Blaizo sent
to the nearest drug store and got a botllo ot
Chamberlain's Cough Komody , of which ho
bad often neardmid took a number of largo
doses. Ho says the effect was wonderful
nnd that in n short tlmo ho wns orcnthlng
quite easily. He , kqpt on taking the modiclno
nnd Iho next day was able to come to DCS

The output of petroleum in th.is coun
try last year surpasses all previous rec-
orus , nnd amounted to 60,150,000 barrels.
A hundred and twenty-seven years ago
England seized , tlio first eight bales of
cotton raised in the south * .nd declared
its production should ccuso.
The importance of our commerce with
Great Britain is shown by the fact that
she takes $172,000,000 out of a total of
1275,000,000 of our exports of farm pro
ducts.
A recent invention consists of a com
bination of levers in connection with the
trucks of u railroad car , so that in case
of derailment the air brakes will trork
automatically nnd stop the train.
A high authority states that the 305
iron furnaces in operation in this coun
try at tlio close of February could turn
out 13,000 tons moro po. week than the
345 furnaces in operation at the beginn
ing of Juno , 1800.
Air plows , V-sliapod , are to be placed
before tlio locomotives of the fast ex
press trains of ono of the English rail
roads. It is expected that greater speed
will ho obtained by overcoming much of
the rcsistonco of the air in front of the
train.
The wonderful growth in the hoot
sugar industry is shown by the following
statistics : In 1887 there was only ono
such refinery in this country. In 18S8
the total output was 3,000,000 pounds ,
while in 1891 California produced 13,000-
000 pounds and Nebraska and Utah
0,000,000 pounds each.
A pcess dispatch reports a scheme for
the erection of dams in the St. Louis
river , near Fond du Lac , Minn. , for
power purposes , and it is said ono had
already been completed. It is expected
that 100,000 horse-power can bo realized
and it is proposed to furnish power for
varied uses in Dulutli.
Twenty years ago Now England fac
tories produced 80 per cent of the boots
and shoos made in this country. The
New England product has largely in
creased , yet it is now but 65 per cent of
the total value , the industry having
boon established in other parts of the
country. Since 1880 importations of
hides and skins have increased about 45
per cent. During the same period ex
ports ot manufactures of leather have
increased incrtf jhun 125 per cent.
The Now York Central Itailroiul com
pany is about to build extensive shops
at a point on tire line about ton miles
from UulTnlo ; "A- tract of about 1,500
acres has been scoured , and the work of
construction 'Jfyto commence at onco.
Itopair shops vatl first ho bull" " , , but a
complete phintifdr locomotive building
will eventually bo added , and employ
ment given to' about 1,200 men. This
new village isHi bo called Dopow.
American idonsaro entering conserva
tive Europe amlj'now bid fair to prevail
altogether. Tlio English companies
now use baggngo cars or luggage vans
and some of vthom have adopted the
chocking flystejn ) . They are also stead
ily encroaching upon the first , second
and third class system and approaching
a plan of uniform accommodations for
all passengers. They have adopted
American methods of lighting with gas
and electricity. Parlor anil sleeping
cars of American make have boon cau
tiously introduced hero and there. And
now the important Southeastern rail
way , from London to Hastings , puts on
u regular American train of American-
built curs , and the passengers like it !
The report of the United States labor
commissionoi on the cost of coal pro
duction covers 147 coal mines in this
country and several foreign mines. Ho
shows that the nvorago cost of < ; oal per
ton after paying for mining , clerk and
ofliclal salaries , interest , rent , taxes , in
surance , and wear and tear of buildings
and machinery , in short , reckoning nil
possible expenses that the nvorago cost
of u ton of coal in the United States is
02 cents ; in Canada the cost is $1.01 ; in
Grout Britain , ijl.lo ; and on the conti
nent 72 cents. The wngna of minors
range from $7.25 to $12 nor week in this
country. If wo add to tlio cost of pro
duction , say a profit of 10 cents per ton ,
thu cost per ton will bo still loss than
the cost in Canada nnd Great iirltain ,
but the intervention of railroad com
binations nnd excessive commissions of
wholesalers and the liberal rake-off of
the retailers , makes the cost to the con *
sinner in this country llttlo short of
robbery.

stropped his razor the other d.iy
previous to operating on n Uoston
llorald man. "In n combination jewelry
and pawn nhop n diamond pin was ex
hibited for sale. It caught the fancy of
a young lady. The moro she gazed on
the pin the moro she wanted it for the
man she loved. She wont homo and got
all the money she possessed. Coming
b.ick to the store she asked the price of
the pin and found It n few dolli.rs moro
than she had. "Haven't you any old
gold thnt you- can turn into cash ? "
asked the jeweler. "Wo will buy old
gold at any time. " The girl thought
a minute. Suddenly she brlgiiloncd up
nnd took n set of tooth from her mouth.
The plato was of solid gold. "Can't you
use tliat ? " she asked the pawnbroker.
% shall have lo weigh It , " ho said.
"AU right.1' "And to weigh it I will
have to knock the teeth olT. " "Knock
them olT , then. " The broker did so ,
weighed the plato , and found that its
value made up the liti'lc and 03 cents.
The girl took her 03 cents and the din-
moiiu , and went out with a handker
chief over her mouth.
