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 fayor. 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..
The Chinese appear to have the call
on the cablegram.
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 has 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 thau 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 daye 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.

6TOPPBD SMOKING TO SAVE!
But the Procedure Didn’t Pan Oat nr
Profitably as Ha Rod Expected.
Xerxes Jones determined to quit
smoking, not you know, that it had
any baneful influenee upon his health,
but solely for the reason that he didn't
feel justified in spending twenty-five
cents a day for the weeny luxury.
Jones had a good disposition and
began his new scheme on Sunday.
“Seeing I’ve quit smoking, I’ll put
an extra quarter in the collection box
to-day,” he mused, and in the money
went.
Monday, just to please his little
wife, good Jones bought a forty-cent
box of mixtures and handed it over to
his wife with the remark: “No, my
dear, it’s no extravagance. Just about
what I saved on cigars to-day, and we
both can enjoy this after tea." Tues
day Jones bought a fifty-oent toy for
his little boy out of the cash saved by
abstinence from tobacoa Wednesday
he changed his dining place dowu
town from a twenty-five cent place to
a fifty-cent table d’hote, feeling justi
fied in spending the extra quarter
saved on cigars.
Apparently forgetting this Thurs
day, the reformer remarked to him
self: “There’s that new umbrella
my wife’s been talking about. I’ll
buy that and charge it up to two
weeks’ savings on smoke.” Friday a
new dinner set was purchased to
please the wife of his heart, and set
ovA against twenty weeks’ savings
from tobacco and Saturday Xerxes
Jones spent 25 cents for cigars, hav
ing lost six days of his luxury, and
figured up that he had saved on the
wrong side of his books just about
938.00. __
LITTLE SKULL OP GLASS.
A Boston Man’s Ingenious Device for Pre
venting Poisoning Accidents.
The unlabeled poison bottle is as
bad as the unloaded gun for caus ing
fatalities. Carelessness at homo will
render useless the utmost vigilance of
the drug clerk who relies upon the
warning label required by law ro
be pasted on all poisonous prescrip
tions. To obviate this danger a man
living in the suburb of Boston known
as Jamaica Plains has made a bottle
which very effectually conveys the
necessary information as to the dead
ly nature of its contents, so that not
only he who runs may read but he
who cannot read may understand.
The bottle is of blue glass, in order
that the contents may better resist
being affected by light, and it is
molded into the shape of a skull, with
cross-bones underneath. The word
“poison” is placed in raised letters
on the forehead, and at the base of
the skull a snace has been left for the
red label that tells the nature of the
drug. The hollow evesockets, the
jawbones and the teeth would tell its
purpose to a blind man, and ghastly
as it may seem to those who are
blessed with sight, it is better to be
frightened than to die. That at least
is the philosophy of the inventor, and
he is not a druggist, or doctor, by the
way, but a plain, every day jobber in
boots and shoes.
ENGLISH ORTHOEPY,
The Work That Is Being Done by a Pri
vate Tutor of Foreigners.
In the national capital is a private
tutor of English to foreigners who
trains them in the idioms of pronun
ciation with this chain of similarly
spelled words: “Though the tough
cough and hiccough plough me
through.” The result is humorous as
these samples of the efforts of the
pupils will show:
“Tho the to co and hicco plo me
thro.
Thul the tuf cuf and hiccuf pluf me
tjiruf.
Thof the tof cof and hicoof plof me
throf.
Thup the tup cup and hiccup plup
me thrup.
Thoo the too coo and hiccoo ploo me
throo,”
It is not surprising that Voltaire,
when he began to study English and
learned that ague was pronounced as
two syllables and plague as one,
should have wished that half of the
English had the one disease and the
other half the other.
Burning Mountain of Coal.
At Winger, in New South Wales,
there is a burning mountain. It is
1,820 feet in height, and is supposed to
be a large coal seam which has in
some unaccountable way become
Ignited, and has been burning for
many years, certainly long before the
advent of the white man in this por
tion of the colony. The course of the
fire can be traced a considerable dis
tance by the numerous depressions or
ohasms occasioned by the falling in
of the ground from beneath which the
coal has been consumed. Smoke is
continually Issuing from the sides of
the mountain, and in the vicinity of
these openings the surface is hot, and
has a dry, parched appearance, while
sticks thrust into these openings are
readily ignited.
Rather a Knowing Cat.
J. W. Moses, of Megquier Hill, has
an unusually intelligent cat, called
Isaac, who is rerv fond of fresh fish.
Recently while the cat was lying on
the floor a member of the family said
to it: “Isaac, do you want us to go
a-flshing?”and then added, “If we had
a frog for *a bait we would go.” On
this old Isaac got up with a knowing
look and trotted out, only to retnrn
in a few moments with a good-sized
frog, which he had caught in a
swale near by.
N«nr Touched Him.
A little fellow had been seriously
lectured by his mother and finally
sent into the garden to find a switch
with which he was to be punished.
He returned soon and said: “I could
not find a switch, mamma, but here's
a stone you can throw at me.”

SCENES AT WATERLOO.
Incident, of the F.moii Battle Show
Ins Bravery and Charity.
At the battle of Waterloo a Scotch
oolor sergeant,who had been mortally
wounded, fell into a ditch, and one of
his comrades, missing the flag, went
straight to the ditch where he hud
seen the Highlander fall. Meantime
the enemy were charging vigorously.
His comrade tried to disengage the
flag from the hands of the wounded
Highlander, but as he could not suc
ceed he hoisted the wounded man on
his shoulder, thus carrying - both ser
geantand flag. The enemy,who were
charging, seeing this good deed,
stopped, suddenly, crying “Bravo!
bravo, l’Ecossalsl” They did not
charge again till the brave man had
rejoined his company.
□ During the retreat which followed
this battle two companies of field ar
tillery stopped under orders near
Loissons, at a village a little distance
from the main road. The mayor was
sent for to make tne customary dis
tributlon of food, etc., which was
requisitioned, that it might be done
without confusion. It seemed only a
moment before all the bread was col
lected, each inhabitant willingly giv
ing his own part, and the mayor or
dered that lots should be drawn who
should give a cow to furnish
meat for the soldiers. The
lot fell on a poor, old, infirm
woman, who with some difficulty
dragged.herself forward, leaning on
her stick, to speak to the mayor.
“This cow,” she said, “which you
wish to take from me is all I have;
she is both my means of living and
my companion, and if you kill her
there is nothing left for me but to die,
too.” The mayor was inflexible, and
the ax was raised to kill the cow
when the artillery men cried with one
voice, "What does it signify? We
will fancy this is Friday and fast most
willingly.” They returned the cow
to the old woman, and she led it away
with tears of joy and gratitude.
A MILLIONAIRE'S CHECK.
Written on » Piece of Board About
Eighteen Inches Square.
They were talking about queer
checks, drafts, etc., in the bank, and
i gentleman from Kansas City, Mo.,
finally told the following:
“I was once employed,” he said,
“to collect a balance of 9470 which
was due a well-known building firm
Kansas City from an ecce ntrio old
millionaire. How he made his money
[don’t knA.f, for it is said he could
leither read'nor write, but he had it
til the same.
“Well, I found the old boy down in
bis cellar, and was gratified to hear
him say that he could pay the bill at
?nce. T haven’t that much cash with
me,’ he said, 'but just wait a minute.’
“He felt around as if looking for a
pieoe of paper, and I was just about
to offer him some, when his eyes lit
an a piece of board about eighteen
nches square. '
“ ‘Just the thing,’ he said, and with
that he picked it up and made a lot of
4ueer-looking marks cn it.
“ ‘There,’ he said, ‘take that to my
bankers and It’ll be all right’
“I protested, but he insisted, and
dually I did as he said. I handed the
piece of plank, dubiously enough 1
tell you, to the paying teller, but
what was my relief when ho merely
•miled, studied the hieroglyphics a
moment, and handed me 9470. Then
le laid the board up on a shelf, and
that was all there was to it
“It transpired that the old man had
i system of signs all his own, which
bis bankers had agreed to respect
411 the same the plank check seemed
:urious even to them, and it is hang
ng up in the office of their establish
ment now.”
Th« Englishman In America
An Englishman, just over, was
breakfasting in New York with an
American friend when he stated that
iie would run out and see his brother
Barry who lived in San Francisco.
“Will you be back for dinner?” asked
the American quizzically. “Of
course,” answered the Englishman,
] “if not for lunch.” The American ac
i eompanied him to the station and the
. Englishman asked for a return ticket
to San Francisco with a "stop over”
at Chicago, and asked the ticket
agent “How mueh?” "One hundred
and thirty-eight dollars and a half’
was the reply. “What?" gasped the
Englishman. “How far is it?”
I “Three thousand miles,” ’was the
' reply. The American friend stood
behind the Englishman to catch him
, when he fell as he exclaimed, “Great
Sod, what a country!”
