When the curtain. rolls up next Thursday night at Lloyd, opera ' house a pleasant surprise will be m readiness for the audience in the opening" feature of the new picture play by Alexander Black esq., en titled "Miss Jerry." As this is the first picture play ever written, the entire performance will naturally be in the nature of a surprise. Nothing" like it has ever been pro duced. Mr. Black spent nearly two years in its preparation and has left nothing" undone to make the presentation perfect. The story of Miss Jerry is one that appeals to the heart. The heroine enlists the sympathy of the audience from the moment she declares that she will battle with the world to earn a living" for herself and her father (who has been reduced . to penury through the duplicity of his part ners in a Colorado mine) and her efforts are followed with unabated interest throughout the entire per- formance "Miss Jerry" (Geraldine) tries her hand at Journalism, and by a happy accident secures what in newspaper parlance is known as a "scoop." This brings her to the attention of the city editor, a hand some and manly young fellow, who promptly proceeds to fall in love with her and finally wins her heart and hand. His successful efforts to regain her father's lost property form a happy denouement to the Pay. THE IEBIGAXldNPAIS. The Omaha exposition will be a great affair, and of but little less importance will be the Irrigation fair at North Platte. Remember the dates and save vour "fractional paper currency, nickels and cents." Wallace Tug". The Irrigation convention, the Irrigation Fair, and a number of other attractions in western. Ne braska will direct a great deal of at tention to ward this land of promise. We imagine that the exhibits ot the Irrigation Fair will be fine to look upon. . The other attractions will mak& the fair apronounce&snccess.. The efforts of North Platte citizens to make the fair a grand success are truly commendable. Every per son interested in this part of the state should constitute himself a committee of one to assist in this great work.Sidney Pionard. The Nebraska Irrigation fair will be held in North Platte, Octo ber 9th to 15th inclusive, the pro gramme having" been already largely mapped out. No county in this part of Nebraska can afford to miss this oooortun- . A. ity to make an exhibit of its products. That it is an irrigation fair should bean incentive for coun ties in which the ditch method of farming" cannot be followed to show what they can do. Logan county should not be a laggard in this mat ter. Gandy Pioneer. t Nothing- will attract as much at tention to western Nebraska as the Western Fair and Irrigation meet ing". There has been a question in the minds of many eastern people whether or not it would be neces sary to give the western half of the state over to the cattlemen again. With a fair display of products of the ''western reserve" 'made at North Platte next fall and arang-e-ments made for excursions that will' in eastern bomeseekers, the fair will bring" do more toward the settle ment of this question than any one thing" we know.

I advise that the work on the buildings begin at once, so the far mers will see that youare going to have a fair. You say it would be some advantage to be able to adver tise the Wild West frcfm the start. As it now looks and as the Lincoln county people are really going to try and get up a decent fair, I will do my part. You may advertise the Wild West for Oct. 12th, al though, its a big run ; with all my two trains of cars from Omaha to North Platte, when lcould play a mucu larger town airectiy on mv route. You seel will'have to jump from Omaha to North Platte and back again. It will cost me $5,000, so I hope the fair will be a success." srreat jJEBEASZA 3J0TE5.

Miss Mae Philips the eyangelist, now holding a revival at Pender, is strongly prejudiced against the ster ner sex. If she has her way very few men will get into Jhe kingdom.

The Free Methodists have pitched tent at Grand Island and are wag ing vigorous warfare against all manner of secret societies,, which they claim are the works of the devil. Joseph "Van Vanlin, of Nelson while trying to break 'a colt, was thrown to the ground with consid erable force, landing on the back of his. head.. He was unconscious for several hours, but the doctor says he will recover. A. J. Baquett of Cheyenne coun ty, had hard luck while listing corn. His team ran away, throwing him off on the plowed ground, and never stopped until the lister was wrecked beyond repair and the harness in about the same shape. Progress, Irrigation and Coloni zation society is the name of a new company organized last week at O'Neill with a capital of $20,000. The company is organized to devel ope plants in any part of Holt coun ty that is known to be feasible and practicable. The talk of cutting up Banner county and annexing it to Scott's Bluff and Kimball, says the Bayard Transcript, is much like the scheme to annex the north half of Cheyenne to Box Butte. The projectors in either case will not make their schemes work successfully. Two iellows residing in North Bend had quite a scrap the other evening. One used a club and the other a pitchfork, and the result is, one is wearing his hand in a sling" from having the tines of the pitch fork through his arm. No arrests have been made. McKinley served all through the war, and for the first fifteen months as a private soldier. In the award of honors richly earned the man who carried the knapsack stands second to nobody, and his figure will adorn the presidental pedestal. The new state census at Massa chusetts reports that over 72 per cent of the people live in cities. At the rate trolley roads are reaching out over the country roads the whole of Massachusetts will be in town or suburban when the next state cen sus is taken in 1905. If one or two parties were sent to the penitentiary for giving a fictitious name when broght before court, says the Grand Island Inde pendent, there would be fewer cases in court. When a libertine is caught in the meshes and repre sents himself as "John Doe" or "Richard Roe," there should be some law that would skow the scamp that he has no license to de fame the name of the above distin guished families. It has been said that there could be no oure for internal piles without a surgi cal operations, but over 100 cases cured in Council Bluffs, la., by the use of Hemorrhoildine proves the Statement false. There is a oure and quick perma nent relief for all who suffer with blind, bleeding and protruding piles. Its use causes no pain, even in the most aggra vated cases.

"It would take too long to enumerate" the many ills which may spring from imperfect teeth," said Dr. Derby. "Of course one who has . good teeth knows their value, but not enough people know what to do to keep them always in prop, er condition. Neither can you tell com just what is necessary at all times. The removal of all foreign susbtances from any contact with, the dentine is of course the primary necessity in considering-th preservation of the teeth. "One of thQ first reasons why one shpuld have perfect teeth is the influ ence they exert over the digestion. Ttf secure-proper assimilation the process oi mastication should he thorough. Noth ing less will accomplish the results in tended. If this process is incomplete, all the attendant evils-of indigestion arc likely to follow. Thus the question of health is interposed as a primary one. Freedom from aches and pains and ap pearance take secondary places. "Of the many forms of neuralgia which cause such excruciating suffering a great many owe their existence entire ly to the presense of faulty teeth. They can be remedied only by the proper treatment of the diseased roots. When this is done, a number cf nervous disor ders respond readily to the ordinary medical treatment. Toothache, pure and simple, must bo considered as an attend ant of improperly cared for teeth. It is an old saying that the man who finds an absolute remedy for and preventive of toothache will make a big fortune. "Of course the primary instruction to one who is suffering from had teeth ii to see a dentist. The exposed surface ol the teeth, the enamel, must ho kept per fect and whole. Any breaks m it must be immediately reparied and any wear ing away cr decaying of the structure must be built up if cue expects to se cure all the perfect results for which the teeth were designed by nature. Con stant brushing and cleaning and any good nonacid wash will do much ta keep tho teeth in good repair. "Of course you know the story of the man who, when his teeth were admired, gave the following reasons for their per fect condition: I always brush them, night and morning and after eating, and leave them in a glass cf salt watei while I am asleep." San Francises Examiner, HE SNEEZED A BULLET. Peculiar Experience of a Slan Who Was Wounded In the Civil War. Colonel Sidney Cooke of Herrington, Kan. , one of the managers of the Na tional Soldiers' home, tells of a peculiat experience in the army during the civO war. At the outbreak of the war he was a strapping New England boy, with strength and vitality which stood him well during his army life. After taking part in several engage ments Colonel Cooke was shot in the head and left on the battlefield as dead. The Federals retreated from the field and the Confederates soon occupied it. Colonel Cooke, who was then a private, was aroused to consciousness by some one tugging at his boots. The boots were very fine and the pride of his boy ish heart, having been given to him by the dear ones at home. "Ain't you dead, Tank?" asked the Confederate as he ceased tugging to re move the boots from the feet of the wounded boy. On being assured that Cooke was not dead a compromise was effected. The Confederate brought the Union soldier some water and carried him to a Con federate surgeon. In return he secured the coveted boots. Cooke had a long convalescence and finally recovered sufficiently to be sent to Andersonville prison, where he suffer ed, in addition to the privations of prison life, great pain from his wound. This suffering continued even after his release and his discharge from the army at the close of the war. One day, long after the war was over, Colonel Cooke, who had settled in Kan sas, was seized with a violent spell of sneezing. Just m tne miast oi it uia bullet was expelled from his nose. Chi cago EecortL Iteadlng the Newspaper. "What a newspaper reading people wo are!" said Mr. Gozlim. "It seems as though everybody reads newspapers. In an elevated car the other day 1 saw a little child less than a year old which was reading a newspaper, or which seemed to be. The father had been read ing the paper really, but the baby, sit ting on its father's knee, had clutched at it, and finally the father placed it in the child's little hands, and it sat there, holding the paper in front of itself, and looking at it soberly, and now and then looking up at its father, and all this so pleased a gentleman with a gray mus tache, who sat opposite, tnat when ho got up to go out he chucked the baby gently under the chin, and smiled at it as he passed. " New York Sun. A Taking Title. " Your play is good enough, " said tho veteran manager after he had read it through, ' 'but it needs a better title than Sticketh Closer Than a Brother.' With such a name as that it won't draw." "How would 'The Hnstard Plaster1 do?" suggested the struggling artist anxiously. Loudon Tit-Bits. They Disagreed.

Richards Bros OWN A NEBRASKA FAS2L A man owning a one-hundred and sixty acre farm in Nebraska w4hich has cost him about one-fifth the pmount that a similar -.farm in either Illinois or Colorado would cost him, can raise his potatoes, cabbage, onions, beets, cucumbers, melons, in fact all kinds of vejre tables, fruits of various kinds, a patch of alfalfa for his stock, and there has his entire living" for him self and familv. meat potatoes, veg etablesall the luxuries .of the sea-"S son, and a surplus which can be canned or sold fresh at the nearest town to provide his clothing" and other things that he cannot raise. And still, he has left 100 acres on which he can in a series of years raise more wheat, corn, rye, oats barley, etc., than can be raised on the same area in Illinois and of a far superior quality. Compare the average yield per acre for any con secutive ten years of Nebraska crops with the same period of time in the eastern states, and the com parison is largely in favor of Ne braska. Add to this the absolute surety of a living which the Ne braska farmer can have by irrigat ing ten acres or less, of this land. and where will be found a better place to live? Grand Island Inde pendent. Do you want to know the differ ence between the McKinley and the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill? Well, here it is: January 1, 1S92, barley was quoted at fifty-seven and a half cents a bushel and gran ulated sugar at four cents a- pound. A bushel of barlev would ourchase fourteen and a half pounds of susrar. January 1, 1S96, barley was worth thirty-two and a half cents and sugar five cents. A bushel of bar ley only buys six and a half oounds of sugar, and yet our democratic friends persist in the statement that onlv the manufacturers nr in terested in a protective tariff.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused bv an inflamed non- dition of the mucous lining of tho Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling- sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire ly closed, Deafness h the result, and un less the mnamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed forever; ninecasesontof ten are caused by ca tarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition nf the mucous surfaces.

We advise that it be kept standing at the head of the column of some of our demo cratic contemporaries under the caption, "Benefits of the new tariff law:" The Standard says, -When the barriers of McKinleyism were partially demolished; goods rusfed in from abroad to fill up the empty spaces in the home markets of the republic. Our woolen manufactur ers in particular are benefitted by this change. For the eleven months. 1895, for which we have the fig ures, the United States have taken nearly six million sterling-'s worth of woolen and worsted tissues from us as compared with less than a million and a half s worth last year and not much more than two and a quarter millions worth the year be fore." When the states were find ing the markets for their own pro ductions restricted or unprofitable abroad, they saw foreign goods pouring in upon them in art aug mented volume.
