YORK , Neb" , March 2-SpecI31.-H ( ) the
present flue weather continues the majority
of the farmers ot this county will commence
their spring plowing ] this week. As II Is , a
great deal bas been dorm In thIs line. The
sol appears to be In tine condition , and
I while not as moist as II has formerly been In
; wet years , yet I Is not a bit too dry , and all
1 feel encournged The bulk ot the grain that
wi bo planted In this county this year will
bo oats. However , this Is not due to the fact
that time county relief furnished ants for see !
- and corn for feed , as the number who made
applications for relief were limited to n few
the majority or the farmers being In such
shapG that no relief was nreded. I Is impossible -
possible at the present time to give an accurate -
curate report on the condiion or wheat I
Is claimed by many that the wheat Is all
right , notwithstanding the hard winter that
tlat

drouth that promise to exterminate it. With
plenty or moisture this spring , the greater
portion of the wheal wi no doubt bo all
al
right , The condition at the fruit ot the
. county Is good. Whie the buds arc not as I
heavy as In other years , yet the season hns
ben delayed and the buds had no chnnce to
get frozen by coming out too c3rly The old
fruit raisers all declare that the trees will
suffer no moro from cold this season it Is
a clalmed.tliat In tIme event that the trees begin

The little fellow began to improve rrom that

Mary , hues mal daughter of L. C. hewett ,
a cattle dealer of Bell county , Texas , having
gone with her parents and a party oC friends
on a picnic excursion to one of the nelghhor-
lug mountain peaks , got los In playing about
by herself , being the only child In the crowd.
: lrs. Hewett , being busily engaged with her
friends , had suffered little lar ) to wander
about at bier own sweet will , and ere long
the unsuspecting child had climbed with her
nimble young feet quite to the slmmlt of
the mountain. LIke all the outcroppings at
the region this peak Is compose oC the rocks
and fossils belonging to the cret3cean period ,
so that no tracks might bo left ] In the shaly

Meanwlll ! , she had set about trying to
find the way by which she had come up , and
when not a trace at her little footsteps was
to be seen she began to cry. Now , Mary
was a good Ito Sunday scnooh ] girl , and as
she sat there desolate and alone on the
mountaIn she remembered some of the sweet
truths she had heard of one who Is ever
ready to help those that are lost , so what
did sIte do but put up a prayer In her little

prayed she wondered In her Innocence how

A curious circumstance of a blrd's kindly ]
assIstance Is thus related hy Miss Alice More-

health , spent the spring or ' 94 at L3mpass

Washington saw a parhelon at 8 o'clock
tie ethel day. This phenomenon In usual
parlance Is called I sun dog and Is peculiar
to more northerly latitudes than ( lint ot
Wlshlngton , The parhelon In question was
exceedingly brilliant and was observed by
thousands at plple. The sky was hazed ;
and Ilresented a dull , milky appearance
The outer circles had a radius of about 30
degrees , the sun occupying the center ot the
circle. The Inner edge at the circle was red
and well denned , but the outer edge was not
ao well de led. The sky within the halo
was much darker than II was for a distance
at several degrees without the halo The
light , al 18 always the ( case In parhela , was
polarized In the direction or a tangent to the
circumference , proVing that the light had
suffered refraction . This halo ' & formed
11 the refraction or the light of the ( sun
through the crystals at Ice 10alol In the
atmoapbere

head of the banking house or Henry Clews &
Co. , writes or the situation In "al street :
The Improvcmtnt of business on the
Stock exchange , which his been Coroshn\-
owed In my. late weekly 11\lces , has ap-
penred within the Illst week with I mlii'-
tnctnes ! and force which how that It Is

my forecast : I Is sulclelt that the change
Is already here , authith nIl the evidences
of its being the lcglnnlng of a true re\lval

Ret the change has not leen Il1rel ' specu-
111\e. 'fhose who have been long holding
their means idle or on temporry Invest-
ment have come to the conclusion that the
depression In securities his tOlchel bottom ,
anti arc now beginning to buy railroad
bonds very freely all arc tnlelng up the

BUSINESS ON ' 11 UP'UHN ,
This ImproYlng ( lendenc Is c\ldenty des-
( med to continue ; and , In the meantime ,
the best guide to follow In WaU street Iq
the swing ot the pendulum. I goes always
to the extreme end on each side before It
lurs , The Dljournment of congress was
the signal which I proclaimed for its i-c-
venlng its course from the side of disaster
10 the opposite-that of buiding up. 'fhe
recemit advance In stocks ami the still
greater improvement In mercantile business
miii go to verify lhe correctness of my diagnosis -
nosis of the buslncss situation under date oC
the 51h of March , when I proclaimed that
"There Is I title In the affairs of men ,
which , If taken at the flood , leads on to
fortune , " and that the tithe was then about
to take upward cur\ent , The biuminous
upwarl
coal companlrs hav ! : e led their difcul-
ties ; the anthracite thiTerences are on the
eve of helng adjusted , railroad earnings are
Increasing , the rerglnlzaton or broken
down railroads Is progressing , silver his advanced -
vanced 4 cents an1oUnJ.e . colon anti wheal
have gone up materially , which are all
factors that contrlbutp 10 hel' the stock \
murket and stimulate Increased buying for
investment accoudt. The Hothschlhl con-
nection with the Unlled States loan and the
necton
success In placing the bonds In Europe can-
not fail to lead the way and stimulate Lon-
don and continental buying of American
riroad securities , , which , at present prices . ,
arc certainly more trrptng than anything
offered In ethel sections of lie world.
In estimating the future I Is not to be
uverooleed thai inbon1e ] very.lmllrlnt respects -
spects this country is now In I materially
better position than it ° was before the late
heter I
depression set In. ' Soafal as concerns the
currency question . upon which so much has
depended , queston. certalnly the case. Two
years nao wc - were In the midst of alarm
l ifnpprehen-Ion ( hat' the naton might le
precipitated upon ' tlie' silver basis : The dan-
ger was all the greater becluse' the po-
sition Ill the question were not under-
stood , but greatly misunderstood . and much
education at public opinion on the subject
was needed. As a nation . our Ignorance
equaled ] our alarm. Legislation on the ques-
( ion was undertaleen with utter lack at
qualification to deal with II intelligently ,
and copress accomplshed virtually nothIng -
lug toward a settlement. hut all thIs fen
and agitation has been atended with a
profound examination into the principles at
Isssue ; already publIc opinion has become
intelligent If not fly matured : false prin-
ciples have leen discredited and steps are
being taken for bringing public sentiment
to a point at which a broad and
sound policy may be formulated for the fu-
lure plcy of political leaders and at
hue new congress. In this way the people
are being trained to I standarl lt
which a large majority of them may hI
trusted to ( and firm for I sound system of
currenc ' . On this large national question ,
therefore , we may fe1 assured that wc
have passed Cram a condition of positive
danger to one at prospective security.
TARIFF SCARE WAS SlOHT ,
The tariff question which two years ale
was having a parah'zlng effect upon In-
dust\y , has had its da ) ' . 1 has been set-
tIed In a way less calculated to disturb
business than was at frt ( earetl 'fhe manufacturing -
luslness interests have already found
ways of adapting their business to the new
conditions . and It can hardly be said lint
condiions. ' tae of affairs Is really , upon the
whole obstructive to lie progress ot our
industrial Inleresls. Thus 11 the industries
Inluslrlal I vast gain upon the condition of
distrust and paralysis that existed two
years ago.
There ale ethel points nt which our industrial -
duslrlal Position has In certain Important
aspccts I10slton materially Improvell. Two
years ago we were al lie climax of a world-
wide overproduction of manufactures I
overproducton
was the result of the growth of modern Improved -
proved plants and capacities of production
far In excess of any possibilIties at con-
sumlition , and was at the same tme a consequence -
sequence at un overdoing of trade In the
rawer anti semi-civiihzed populations at the
world. Our own cOlnlry directly lympu-
lhlzell with this inflation or trade In other
wih
countries , anti had at lie lame time its
own forms ot o\ersupply. Two radical
changes must le made before tle beginnings
at recovery could appear. First there must
he a reducton In priee. In order tomsdmlt .
at In enlarged eonRUmptOn , anti next tere
must he some curtailment of prducton ,
vhIle , at some later stage , when these re-
whie letl hail been realized , there would le a
chance for lie development ot new con-
stimpive ( wan Is. The lirst of these necessities -
sities has been mel by I general and large
declIne In leen prices not only or goods . but
also of raw materials , most or the latter
being now selling 'ut prices unprecedented (
within the present generton , The re-
ducton of Iloducton has been brought
about hy a Painful but natural anti Inevitable -
evitable process. The oldel' plant , being
evlable 10 chenpness or Ilroducton , his
hal to he retred from use , and lust he regarded -
garded ns In I IUffe measure extinguished ,
