There’s Always a Besson.
It is an easy thing to account for the
wonderful growth of the Daily State
Journal recently. Its price has been
reduced to 50 cents per month without
Sunday or 65 cents with Sunday. The
Journal has always been reliable and
honest, printing the news without fear
or favor. The people of Nebraska realize
that they need a paper published at the
capital, and when the price of the Jour
nal was reduced the subscription list
grew at a phenomenal rate. The Jour
nal is a Nebraska paper through and
through.
A letter of credit—One delivered
with “postage due.”
There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and so admirably adapted
to the purposes for which it is intended,
as Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. Hardly a
week passes but some member of the
family haB need of it. A toothache or
a headache may be cured by it. A
touch of rheumatism or neuralgia quiet
ed. The severe pain of a burn or scald
promptly relieved and the sore healed
in much less time than when medicine
has to be sent for. A sprain may be
promptly treated before inflammation
sets in, which insures a cure in about
one-third the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive imme
diate treatment before the parts become
swollen, which can only be done when
Pain Balm is kept on hand. A sore
throat may be cured before it becomes
serious. A troublesome corn may be
removed by applying it twice a day for
a week or two. A lame back may be
cured and several days of valuable time
saved or a pain in the side or chest re
lieved without paying a doctor bill.
Procure a 50 cent bottle at once and
you will never regret it. For sale by P.
C. Corrigan, druggist.
Of course the lamp of experience is a
smdke consumer.
“I would rather trust that medicine
than any doctor I know of," says Mrs.
Hattie Mason of Chilton, Carter Co.,

Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. For

Uncertainty is the dead point in the
wheel of progress.
Every mother should know that croup
can be prevented. The first symptom
of true croup is hoarseness. This is
followed by a peculiar rough cough. If
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Is given
freely as soon as the child becomes
hoarse or even after the cough has de
veloped it will prevent the attack. 25

THB MISSIONARY MAN.
H« Hlghl Ultra ruiwl Matter Had He
Kak Bean Orer-Vain.
A young man who said ho was a
missionary about to start for that part
of Africa where Mtesa of happy mem
ory reigned, went into a Brooklyn
clothing storo lately and presented a
letter from the secretary of the
V'. M. C. A. The letter introduced
the missionary, askod the clothiers to
lot him pick out a full wardrobe and
to send the bill to the Y. M. C. A.
This was all very satisfactory, and so
the missionary was given the run of
the shop. Among tho things which
ho selected were one swallow-tail coat,
throe shirts with rose-pink bosoms,
one pair of button patent leathers, one
pair of patont leather pumps, one pair
of lilac gloves, two pairs of tan gloves,
one silk umbrella, one swootbrier
walking stick and one silk hat.
“Won’t you havo some silk suspend
ers?” askod the clerk.
"Yes, I will,” said tho missionary.
When tho purchases were made the
clerk, who is an old-fashioned Presby
terian and knows something of mis
sions, said: “Did I understand, sir,
that you wore going out to UgandaP”
“Yes, Uganda, yes."
“And may I ask what ohurch sends
you?”
“Oh, tho Presbyterian church—the
board of foreign missions.”
The clerk felt a great heat crawling
into his head as he thought: “And
havo I been such a chump as to give
my hard-earned tithes for patent
leathers and lilac kids and that sort of
thing, when I thought I was assisting
in the conversion of the heathen? By
jinks, it’s strange.”
When tho young missionary had
gono tho clerk had an interview with
his employer.
“What!” cried the clothier, “swal
low-tail coats and pink shirts in equa
torial Africa! I believe he’s a fraud!”
And so it proved. The Y. M. C. A.
had not sent the young man, and when
the clothes were delivered to him an
officer wa3 close by who arrested him.
He was quite crestfallen and declared
that he would gladly go out as a mis
sionary rather than go to the peni
tentiary, but ho could find no one who
. cared to send him to the heathen
lands.
“It was them patent leathers done
the job for you, young man," said the
officer who led him away to durance.
“Yes,and the pink shirt, d—n ’em,”
wept tho youth. “Why couldn’t I have
let well enough alone?”
THE AMERICAN BEAUTY.
now Tun riquiiiM Koia was First
Found and Cultlrated.
There is an interesting story about
the origin of the American Beauty. It
was first grown in Washington, and
here it attained its renown. The late
Hon. George Bancroft, besides being a
historian and scholar, was one of the
first amateur rose-growers in America.
Every year he imported cuttings from
the leading flower-growers of Europe.
The king of Prussia—when old Kaiser
William was king—allowed the Amer
ican historian to have a slip of what
ever he might fancy in the royal con
servatories. Mr. Bancroft’s gardener
used to cultivate some of his roses in
an old house away out on F, or per
haps it was G, street, above Twenty
second street, in the west end of the
city. Mrs. Grant had a florist named
Field in charge of the White house
conservatory. He was a rose-grower
of rare merit and skill in his artistic
work.
One day he happened into the old
building where Mr. Bancroft’s gardener
potted his plants and budded his roses.
Over in a corner he observed a rose of
a variety utterly unknown to him and
of wonderful size and perfection in
form and color. “Where did this
come from?” he carelessly inquired of
his rose-growing confrere. ■ ‘Oh, it
is an offshoot from some cuttings we
imported from Germany,” the man re
plied. It was evident to Mr. Field
that the other did not in the least com
prehend the value of the new plant.
After some talk Mr. Field bought
the cuttings he had seen for $5. A
year thereafter, when he^ had prop
agated his new purchase and become
convinced that he had a new and very
valuable variety of roses, which he
named the American Beauty, he sold
his find for $6,000, the most wonder
ful result of the investment of $6 on
record. To follow his luck a little
further, Mr. Field invested his easily
earned $5,000 in lands near the city,
which in a little less than three years
were sold for $50,000. Truth is some
times stranger than fiction. In this
instance it certainly was.
Klectrlo l.lfhtl In Alaska.
A system of electric lighting is being
put in at Juneau, one of (he best
known Alaska settlements—a place of
2,000 inhabitants. When completed
this will be the first electric light
plant in the territory. Electricity,
however, has been used for some time
in a limited way in the Alaska mines.
Water power is abundant everywhere,
and the current is generated on the
streams and carried to the mines by
cables.

AN OFFICE DRAMA.
Why the Telegraph Editor Did Not Eat
the Night lleforo Pay Day.
It was Friday night. Tho telegraph
editor felt in his pocket and glanced
contemplatively at his watch.
•‘What have they got to-nightP” he
said, Anally addressing the assistant
telegraph oditor.
“Fork and beans, stowed tomatoes
and apple pie,” was tho reply.
“And”
“It's all right. Dead swell lay-out.’
The telegraph oditor ruminated and
again felt in his pockot. Then he re
membered a little indebtedness of
twenty-five cents. ' •
Tho copy boy ontered.
The telegraph editor scribbled on a
piece of paper.
“Take this to tho assistant city
editor, and be dod-gastod quick about
it,” said the telegraph editor. He
handed the copy-boy a pieco of paper,
which looked like this:
25c.
25c
WELL?
25o
250
The copy boy took the paper into
the sporting1 editor’s room, where he
stopped to listen calmly to the ar
rangements for a prize fight. Then
he went out into the area-way and
threw paper wads at the watchman.
Then he went into the local room
and threw a crumpled piece of paper
on the desk 'of the assistant city
editor.
“His Associated Press’s sent that
to yeh,” he remarked, pushing tho
paper weight of the desk onto tho too
of the Constant Header.
The assistant city editor apologlzod
to the Constant Header and looked at
the paper. Then he drew a half dol
lar from his pocket, carefully laid the
paper over it and rubbod it with the
butt end of his lead pencil. Under
neath the rough fac-simile of the coin
he wrote:
“Please send back the change.”
“There; take that back, quick,”
said he.
The copy boy wont into tho dram
atic editor's room and put a mus
tache on the latest photograph of
Helen Mora. Eventually he reached
the telegraph room and handed the
paper to the telegraph editor. The
telegraph editor studied it for a full
minute. Then ho remarked calmly:
“That’s the grouchie&t guy that
ever struck this joint. He ain’t even
got manners enough to pretend that
he’s broke.”
Then the telegraph editor pulled his
chair up to his desk and wrote a head
to tho gold exports, which began’
“Millions in Our Pockets Still.”
HEART DISEASE!
Fluttering, No Appetite, Could Not
Sleep, Wind on Stomach.
“For a long time I had a terrible
pain at my heart, which, fluttered al
most incessantly. I had no appetite
and could not sleep. I would be com
pelled to sit up in Ded and belch gas
from my stomach until I thought
that every minute would be my last.
There was a feelling of oppression
about my heart, and I was afraid to
draw a full breath. 1 could cot sweep
a room without resting. My hus
band induced me to try
Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure
and am hapny to spy it has cured
me. I now nave a splendid appetite
and sleep wclL Its effect was truly
marvelous.’'
