The symptoms of Billioasness are unhappily
bat too well known. They differ in different
indmdaals to some extent. A billions man is
seldom a breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas
be w an excellent appetite for liquids but none
for solids of a morning. His tongue will hardly
bear inspection at any time; if it is not white
and furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is whoUy out of order and
Diarrhea or Consumption may be a symptom or
the two may alternate. There are often Hemor
rhoids or even loss of blood. There may be gid
diness and often headache and acidity or flatu
lence and tenderness in the pit of the stomach,
To correct all this if not effect a cure try Green's
August Flower, it cost but a trifle and thousande
attest its efficacy.

The building in which the na
tional republican convention will be
held in Chicago is well under way.
It has a frontage on Michigan boul
evard, Congress street and Wabash
avenue of 700 feet or more than
one-eighth of a mile. The value of
the ground, which is leased, is
$1,000,000, and the estimated cost
of the structure, $2,000,000. The
main feature of the building is, of
course, the auditorium. Another
important feature is the hotel of
500 rooms, and after these the large
renting space. The auditorium will
be furnished as a theatre, with an
immense stage and three galleries.
There is room in front of the foot
lights for an orchestra of ninety
pieces, with scenery after the plan
of the Grand opera at Paris. Five
thousand chairs will be arranged .in
circular rows in the audience room
proper, while by clearing the stage
and utilizing the floor over 3,000
additional seats may be provided,
giving a total seating capacity of
8,000.

Another democratic congressman
has sprung from oblivian into na
tional renown. When asked his
opinion of the president's message
two days after it had been read he
replied: "I don't know anything
about the president's message. I
was taking a bath when it was read
and haven t had a chance to read it
myself." This man will tread the
corridjiofvtime hand in hand with
Mr. BBraSxpf Texas, who missed
his voleTvn the inter-state commerce
bill because he was taking a bath
when the bill passed.
At Empire City, Oregon, the sal
ary and expenses of the collector of
customs amounted to $3,338 while
the amount of revenue collected was
sixty cents. The secretary of the
interior thinks that this is too much
of a discrepancy and proposes to re
duce the pay roll of the office to
$1,093. This will still support a
good democrat fairly well. The
countrv is under great obligations
to Mr. Lamar for his moderation.
It wouldn't do of course to shut up
an office that collected sixty cents
per annum, for it would deprive
patriot of his pabulum. State

Speaking of rich men in the sen-

lionaire, and he has made a great
deal of money in the last few years.
He paid $40,000 for 120 acres of land
near Omaha some time ago and held
it for a rise. Five years ago he offer
ed it for sale at $o00 per acre, and
could not find a purchaser. Now,
this land is worth from 5,000 to
$10,000 au acre. It has been divid
ed up into lots and Paddock has
sold over $400,000 worth of these,
and has 150 lots left. Then he has
a big pressed brick building in
Omaha, which rents, I am told, for
about $800 a month, and at his
home in Beatrice, Neb., he has a
er f 1 1 l
zmu acre iarm wnicn is nearly sur-
I rounded bv the city. He has sold
$100,000 worth of city lots offit. and
has nearly the whole of the two
.hundred acres left. He is one
of the richest men of Southern
Nebraska, and he has a large inter
est in the Omaha Cable Company,
in the Omaha Street Car company,
in banks at Beatrice, and in other
quarters. This makes the second
fortune he has made since he came
west. A friend of his tells me that
he was rich a few years ago, but
that at Jay Gould's advice he went
into Wall street and before he got
out lo3t the bulk of his fortune.
He held on to his real estate, how
ever, and his faith in western prop

OUR DAIRY INTERESTS.
Each year as we go along the
dairying interest of Colorado is
growing., in importance. In this
1887 one-third more cows have
been milked in this state than were
milked in 1886, or in any year pre-
vious to the present, m iaa we
have every confidence that the great
interest will increase another third
in magnitude. Our farm people
are becoming to realize that a dairy-
mg peopie invar.aoiv oecome ncn,
while a gram growing one toils on
with but little progress and with
but little money above what is re
quired tor the necessaries or every
day life.
Said Mr. Elwell, an eminent
miller of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, the
other dayr "The only farmers in
my state Who have any money to
show for this season's work are the
dairymen. The wheat grower will
be in debt. Li the past few years
the men who milk cows have cleared
up their mortgages and have built
barns and have painted their houses.
The traveler on the highwavs of
Wisconsin, without seeing the cow's,
can pick out the dairy farms as he
goes. There are evidences of pros
perity tinfiLcanfiot be mistaken.
With us lfrethe tread of the cow
that's golden."
Said a Lohgraont banker to us
a little while ago: "When the
creamery at Brighton was establish
ed a few years since we felt the ef
fect in our deposits almost im
mediately. And when a similar
establishment was inaugurated here
'and the increased number, of cows
in our neighborhood became appar
ent our small deposits were doubled
and prosperity became noticable ' all
about us. Merchants tell me that
their trade- began to improve and
their collections became easier im
mediately on the introduction of
these creameries."
Now to attain the greatest pros
perity in dairying there must be
intelligence and a determination to
keep pace with progress in the
methods o breeding and feeding.
There will be no profit in a poorly
fed cow and much less in a poor
cow. A scrub cow that will yield
no more than two gallons a day oc
cupies just so much space on a farm

Swedish whist is the latest popu

of the players sitting around the
table a card, face downward. Each
player then comes in with a chip or
two or stays out at his pleasure.
The dealer then deals four more
cards to each player, one at a time
face upwards and after each player
receives a new' card evervbody has
the privilege of betting again or
staying out. The cards are valued

The complaint that Jersey cattle
are small will soon die out, if no more
importations be made, a writer in
the New York Tribune thinks. He
affirms that the Jerseys descended'
from the early importations have
increased very much in size. The
Carolines, an old family, first im
ported in 1808, are larger than the
average native cows", and there is a
marked indrease in the size of other
families. All this is natural, as the
food is limited to the Jersey islands,
and by the tethering system prac
ticed there, cattle will not eat the
grass they run over until they are
forced to it by hunger.
