a keorty response from farmers and

Governor Humphrey has select-

It is said that Senator Palmer, of
Illinois, is getting ready to make a

Vigorous hght against movements zn
the senate whicn are in cne interests
of ex-union soldiers; special assaults
to be made on the service pension
bill as well as on private pension
bills. This is not more than might
be expected from a bourbon such as
Palmer; in fact the men who saved
the nation can expect little justice
and help from the democratic party
as a whole.
It is the commonly received
opinion among business men
throughout the state that within a
few weeks there will be a notable
revival in trade. The Christmas
trade was large, and this is an in
dication that times are getting
better. Already money is becoming
easier in the large eastern cities,
and when this is the case, capital
ists look to Omaha and other parts
of the west for investments, wad
there is little doubt that inside of
'three months a healthy stream of
eastern money will ba flowing into
this city and other important towns
of Nebraska as well. Omaha "Re

The democrats of Virginia are
becoming alarmed over the attitude
of a majority of the members of
their party in congress and are be
ginning to insist that a moderate
protective tariff bill, framed with
out reference to party lines, is just
about the thing needed bv the
country at the present time. The
Newport News-Sun gives it out
without reservation that if the peo
pie of Virginia were called upon to
choose between the free trade
doctrine of the Mills wing and a
well applied protective system there
would be no doubt of the over
whelming defeat of the free traders
in that state. "The people of Vir
ginia have not forgotten 1888,"
says the News-Sun with emphasis.

It is a great task to undertake
the compilation of a census of the
"world, even when the work is con
fined to the simple enumeration of
the inhabitants. It has been done
with some care by one of the learned
societies of Europe, and the total
given is 1,480,000,000 for the entire
planet. There has been a decrease
of 50,000,000 in the estimate for
China, which was formerly placed
at 400,000,000 souls. In spite of
this change, however, the total rep
resents an increase of 46,000,000
since 1882, or an average excess of
births over deaths of 5,750,000
yearly. A man can hardly help
feeling upon examining these statis
tics that he ought to go out and
boy land in the temperate zones
where the bulk of this vast popula
tion will desire to live.
People who know 'White Beaver,'
as Dr. Frank Powell called himself
in the show, will not predicate an
Indian war in North Dakota on the
alleged attempt of the redskins to
take his scalp. Dr. Powell probably
tells this story in order to have the
opportunity to remind the public
that General Miles commissioned
him and Buffalo Bill to go in claw
hammer coats to Sitting Bull's camp
aad capture him, dead or alive, a
little over a year ago. It was prob
ably fortunate for both that Louis
Primeaux and his Indian police
intercepted them before they
reached Bull's camp. The Grand
River Sioux have no grudge against
the sensational ex-medicine man
from La Crosse and his story looks
for all the world as if it had been
specially gotten up for the Omaha
Pake Factory. Bee.
A young physician in an obscure
Massachusetts village has made'
himself famous among his col
leagues by happening along just as
a man fell out of a carriage and
dislocated his neck. Death follows
quickly in such cases, as a rule, but
11 J 1 T,i: J At n A.
dislocated or broken neck could be
. set if the patient could be reached
before death ensued from strangula
tion caused by pressure upon the
spinal cord. He therefore took the
head of the patient in his hands,
moved it delicately from side to
side, and gave it a strong pull
There was a sharp snap, and signs
of returning animation were at
once apparent. The patient was
cared for assiduously and although
pieces of bone were broken from the
casing of the spinal cord, he pulled
through the ordeal and within three
months was walking around appar
ently as sound as ever. Only two
cases of this nature are on record
and both were partial failures. Ex.
A "NORTH PLATTE MAN TALKS.
(Omaha Bee.)
A North Platte citizen, in speak
ing of politics in general up in the
Sixth district, said: "The congres
sional candidates in the Sixth dis
trict on the republican side of the
r , i ?ll 1 TT "r rt
j ngnt win proDaoiy De n. m. unmes
and Judge Church of North Platte,
Jack McColl of Lexington, Judge
Hamer of Kearney, Judge Wall of
Loup City, Judge Kinkaid of O'Neill
and James yvniteneaa or .Broken
Bow. I think the matter will
finally come down to a contest be
tween the man selected from the
North Platte aspirants and Judge
Kinkaid. I think this because the
counties west of us will support a
North Platte man. We will have
at least eleven counties solid for the
man selected by the North Platte
republicans. Then I believe that
Judge Kinkaid will come down with
the northern tier of counties at his
back, so that the contest will really
be between him and the North
Platte aspirant. Whitehead will
have his own countv, Wall will
have his county and Hamer maT
have his county."
"What is the feeling among the
republicans of the Sixth with regard
to a candidate for governor?"
"There is a general desire among
republicans of the Sixth to see
Douglas county name the candidate
for governor. We recognize up
there that the republicans of
Douglas county saved Post and it is
no more than fair to allow Douglas
county to name the candidate for
governor."
"Do you hear any particular man
mentioned?"
"No. The idea is to let the repub
licans of Douglas county settle that
themselves."

THE PATHOGENIC MICROBE,
Or poison bearing germ, exercises a
most destructive influence, and is
continually waging war against
health. Innumerable is this mighty
foe, and but few escape his injury.
Entering the system through the
blood, this poisonous germ infects
every part of the body, and spreads
its deadly virus everywhere. Under
ordinary conditions it multiplies
ramdlv. and soon maintains a
stronghold upon the human body
To overcome this enemy, and put
an end to its destruction has tor a
long while occupied the time and
energies of scientists. 1 heir labors
have at last been rewarded with sue
cess, and a most important discovery
has thus been made known to the
world. It has been shown that this
germ can be forced from the bodv
through the pores of the skin, and
that this is the only method by
which a permanent and sure cure of
diseases of the blood can be effected.
S. b. a. has for years been curing
blood diseases and their results, and
it is by this method of eliminating
all impurities through the skm that
it has performed its great work. All
manner of complaints having their
origin in an impure and disorde
condition of the blood have been
successfully treated by this un
rivalled blood medicine. Being
purely a vegetable preparation S. S
S. is entirely harmless, and no bad
effects result from its use.

The Finding of the courts in the
New York election cases gives the
control of the senate of that state
to the democrats, and is therefore a
triumph for Governor Hill. The
new legislature of New York is thus
made democratic and will be under
the domination of Tammany. It
will have the duty of redistricting
the state, and aradical change from
the existing arrangement will un
doubtedly be made, both as to con
gressional and legislative districts.
It has been suggested that it might
provide a new plan for the choice of
presidential electors, either adopting
the Michigan method or providing
for their election by the legislature
and it will not be surprising if one
of these plans shall be adopted
more likely the latter than the for
mer, if the Tammany-Hill combine
can have its way. This legislature
will also elect a successor to Senator
Hiscock, so that after 1893 New
York will be represented in the
United States senate by two demo
crats. Governor Hill will not fail
to claim for himself whatever credit
there may be connected with this
result, and it is very likely to
strengthen his following. At anjT
rate it is certain to make him
stronger in the admiration and con
fidence of Tammanv, and that is
now the ruling power in New York
democracy. Hill has now a firmer
grasp than ever on the democratic
machine in his state, and it will be
strange if he does not control the
delegation in the next national con
vention. Bee.

A. F. Streitz the druggist gives
ten reasons why Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the best.
1. It will cure a severe cold in
less time than auy other treatment.
2. It does not suppress a cough
or cold ; but loosens and relieves it.
3. It relieves the lungs, which is
of great importance in treating a
cold.
4. It is the only remedy that
will cause the expulsion of mucus
from the air cells of the lungs. '
5. It l enders the mucus less tena
cious and easier to expectorate!
G. If freely used as soon as the'
first symptoms appear, it will curer
a severe cold in a single day.-
7. It will prevent croup and
avert all danger and anxiety arising
from that dreaded disease.
. 8. It has cured thousands of
cases of croup, and careful inquiry
fails to discover a single case in
which it has ever failed.
9. It does not contain opium,
chloroform, nor any other injurious
substance. There is not the least
danger in giving it to children.
10. Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy acts in perfect harmony with
nature and aids nature in relieving
the lungs, and freeing the, system
of morbid matter, accumulated by
cause of the cold. Ff ty cents per

The constant demand of the
traveling public to the far west for
a comfortable and at the same time
an economical mode of traveling,
has led to the establishment of what
is known as Pullman Colonist
Sleepers.
These cars are built on the same
general plan as the regular first
class Pullman Sleeper, the only dif
ference being is that they are not
upholstered.
They are furnished complete with
good comfortable hair mattresses,
warm blankets, snow white linen
curtains, plenty of towels, combs.
brushes, &c, which secure to the
occupant of a berth as much privacjf
as is to be had in first-class sleepers:

ROYAL BAKING POWDER
Strongest, Purest, Most Economical.
Certain baking powder makers are publishing falsified extracts from the
Government reports, with pretended analyses and certificates, wherein an
attempt is made to compare their baking powders with the "Royal," or
making bogus tests from house to house, their obvious purpose being to
counteract the recent exposures of the inferiority of their own goods arising
freni their impurity, low strength, and lack of keeping qualities as shown
by the Government chemists and others.
As to whether any of these baking powders are
cqur.I to the "Royal," the official tests clearly deter
mine. When samples of various baking powders were
-purchased from the grocers, and analyzed by the United
States Government Chemists and the Chemists of State
and City Boards of Health, the reports revealed the fact
that the "Royal" contained from 28 per cent, to 60 per
cent, more leavening strength than any other cream of
tartar baking powder, and also that it was more perfectly
made, of purer ingredients, and altogether wholesome.
As these powders are sold to consumers at the same price, by the use
of the Royal Baking Powder there is an average saving of over one third,
besides the advantage of assured purity and wholesomeness of food, and of
bread, biscuit, and cake made perfectly light, sweet, and palatable advan
tages not to be had in the use of the low-grade, cheaply made baking pow
ders that contain lime, alum, and other impurities,
