There’s Always a Reason. It is an easy thing to account for the wonderful growth of the Daily State Journal recently. Its price has been reduced to 60 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. The pessimist prefers “Looking Back ward" to any other form of fiction. For a pain in the side or chest there is nothing so good as a piece of flannel dampened with Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and bonnd on over the seat of pain. It affords prompt and permanent relief and if used in time will often pre vent a cold from resulting in pneumonia. This same treatment is a sure cure for lame back. For sale by P. C. Corrigan, druggist. Pugilists appear to take as kindly to the ready letter writer as to the punch ing bag. _ W. A. McGuire, a well known citizen of McKay, Ohio, is of the opinion that there is nothing as good for children troubled with coaids or croup as Cham berlain’s Cough Remedy. He has used it in his family for several years with the best results and always keeps a bot tle of it in the house. After having la grippe he was himself troubled with a severe cough. He used other remedies without benefit and then concluded to try the children’s medicine and to his delight he soon effected a permanent cure. 85 and 50 cent bottles for sale by P. 0. C.

A Philanthropist—The doctor who says: "It’s better to be in prison than have bad health.’’ Henry Wilson, the postmaster at Welcbton, Florida, says he cured a case of diarrhoea of long standing In six hours, with one small bottle of Cham berlain’s Colio, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy. What a pleasant surprise that must have been to the sufferer. Such cures are not unusual with this remedy. In many instances only one or two doses are required to give permanent relief.

Time* Ar» W»ji of Dlilia|taliklB( th< ProfWulonnl AhM*Aikm “Say, (rents, can’t you give a poor fellow a few cents to get something to eat? Haven’t had a bite all day. Can't yon give a poor fellow a few cents to get something to eat?" He was running alongside of them repeating his plea over and over again in a singing voice. One of the men hesitated and then put his hand in his pooket/but bis companion took him by the arm and turned upon the beggar. “Get out of this,” he said in a tone which seemed almost brutal, and the beggar turned away abruptly. "Don’t you think you were pretty rough to him?" asked the man who had shown an inclination to give alms. “No,” answered his friend unsym pathetically, "he's a professional.” “How do you know?” “Just you keep your wits about you when a beggar approaches you. That fellow said 'genta* That's profes sional. He asked for a few cents. That’s professional. And what’s more to my point, he kept repeating his sentences over and over again. He has learned to sing them over that way by repeating them a thousand times. When a man who is not used to begging asks you for help he doesn’t do it that way. He just stum bles along, uttering any appeal that comes to his lips. He hasn't anything by heart He doesn’t sing it and it doesn't slip off his tongue so glibly. The professional beggar is like an ac tor. Be has his lines and he, always reads them in the same way. Don’t let one of those fellows fool you again.” __ A TERRIBLE DREAM. Ms Blank I* Tortured With a Sleep Fear That Unmans Him. Mrs. Blank went shopping. Mr. Blank went with her. No one can explain why he went, for she didn’t positively compel It, and he is still re garded as sane! He went anyhow. She wanted buttons. Those at Jenk ins’ store were too small, much too small. So she went to Kahn’s and Posnanski's and the Merchants’ Sup ply; then to Poznanski's and the Mer chant’s Supply and Kahn’s. At Jenk ins’ again they showed her the -same buttons and she found them too largel Blank guessed it a case of expansion caused by the heat; it seemed hot to himl She got almost to another plaoe —not quite—for they saw her coming and looked the door for the night. She went home. That night Blank’s hard breathing woke his tired wife, and she woke him, in turn. “What's the matter?" she de manded. “I—1 had a dreadful dream,” he gasped; “I thought we were both dead, that you had gone to heaven, and that I—I hadn’t!” “How perfectly awful,” she cried, graspiqg him convulsively around the neok, “to be separated and—” "We—we weren’t separated,” moaned Blank with a shudder; “I—I oould have endured that! But no— no) I dreamt that you were to be allowed to go shopping forever, and that I was condemned to go with you.” _ A 8BIDLITZ POWDBR *• Dufwni Effect* tn the Court 01 tit* Rajah. An Bayllah doctor, attached to the oonrt of a rajah, made himself almost indispensable to his highnesa He had, fortunately, also made a friend df hie prime minister. On one occa sion his highness being slightly indis posed, had taken, by the doctor’s ad vioe, a seidlitz powder, with whioh he expressed himself delighted. Its tendenoy to “boil and fizz ready to Mow yonr nose off,” seemed to him to "soatter coolness;” and he seemed so much better after taking it that the doctor felt himself justified in joining in a hunting-party. Presently a horseman from the palace, in the con fidential employment of the grand viaier, galloped up to him. “My mas ter bids me tell you,” he said, “that his highness has broken open your medicine-chest and taken, first, all the white powders and then all the blue.” “Gracious goodness,” cried the doctor, "there were twenty-three of each of them!” “My master adds,” continued the messenger, dropping his yoioe, “that you had better make for the frontier without one moment’s delay.” The doctor put spurs to his horse and never drew rein till he was “ont of the jurisdiction of the court. ” Wire Shaft* for Steamer*. - Trials that have been made with the new plan of wire shafts for steam ships are said to show that when the shaft is in position and rotating stress is applied a tensile force is exerted upon the individual wires and their several fastenings—each a unit of strength sustaining its part of the total amount of stress. The strength of the individual wires and pf the fastening being known, the strength of the shaft as a whole can likewise be ascertained. a Larne rroni. i The walls of Paris are doomed. No other large city in Europe is sur rounded by a wall, and as the one round Paris occupies a spaoe compris ing no fewer than 12,000,000 square yards, or one-eighth of the total area of the oapitat, the state will derive an Immense profit from its removal and the sale of the ground which it stands upon. _ Sacred Spiders. One American tribe believed thaii at death the soul had to pass over to the other world on floats made of cobwebs. On this account the spider was held in high veneration, it being accounted a highly dangerous act to kiU or injure one. BEST TOR SHIRTS. IHK PROOTCR * QAMSLK CO. OlM*TI. - * Dec. 15. THE JAP'S CLOCK. Aa Odd Tlmeploec Clad by the Old* Tima Orlantali. The real Japanese oloek, one of the kind in use among that brown* skinned, almond-eyed race of Orien tals before they oame in aontaot with timekeepers of European pattern, is the oddest horologlcal instrument imaginable. They are of many kinds and patterns, of course, but are all alike in one respect, vis., in recording the flight of time without that seem ing indispensable adjunot—the point er rotating on an axis. In these queer Jap time-keepers the scale and figures (characters) are arranged in a manner more re sembling a Fahrenheit thermometer than anything else, the pointer or "hand” being attached to a rod, which is continually sliding downward in the “time tube,” thus pointing to the hour and minute as it slowly but imperceptibly falls toward the "bulb” or "weight house.” A square-linked chain is attached to the upper end of the rod, to which the time pointer is affixed, and when the olock is "wound up” it is simply done by colling the chain around the toothed wheel. A heavy weight fastened at the other end of the rod continually pulls rad and pointer downward, thus plainly and simply recording the flight of time.' Slaves of Custom. There are no tables in the houses of the Esquimaux, and the women are, therefore, in the habit of placing everything on the floor. A Danish lady employed several Esquimaux wo men to do some washing. Entering the wash-house she saw them all bend ing over the wash-tubs that stood on the floor. To make them more com fortable. she had some stools fetched and placed the tubs upon them. By and bye she looked in to see how they were getting on, and to her astonish ment discovered the women standing on the stools and stooping still more laboriously over the tubs, which still remained on the floor. Moat Precious, to Him. A passenger who escaped uninjured from a serious railway smash, seeing a fellow-traveler searching anxiously among the wreckage with a lantern, offered to assist in the search, and thinking the old man had lost his wife, asked in sympathetic tones: "What part of the train was she in?” Raising his lantern and glaring at the kindly disposed passenger, the old man shouted with indignant .distinct ness that triumphed over physical in firmity: "She, sir! she! J am looking for my teeth!’’ PalpitationoftteHeart Shortness of Breath* Swelling of Legs and Feet. ' "For about four years I was troub led with palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath and swelling or the legs and feet. At times I would faint. I was treated by the best phy sicians In Savannah, Ga.. with no re lief. I then tried various Springs without benefit. Finally, I tried Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure also his Nerve and Liver Pills. After beginning to take them I felt better! I continued taking them and I am now In better health than for many years. Since my recovery I have gained fifty pounds in weight.
