THE FRONTIER PUBLISHED BVEltY THURSDAY By Tbs Krohtwb Pkintino Co. O’NEILL, -> NEBRASKA. NEBRASKA. Sknatn' Course at tlie State llnlvtnltf. The University of Nebraska has just issned a very attractive pamphlet de scriptive of the school of agriculture, which every farmer should send for. This course in Agriculture is altogether the most complete, practical and com mon tense thing of the kind that has ever come under our observation. It is something that no farmer's boy or girl of any ambition can afford to misa The people in charge of the school realize the fact that most farmers' sons and daughters cannot afford the time and money required in the preparation for and completion of a regular course, but that in farming as in any other business education and training pay. Keeping this in view, they have pre pared a short, practical coarse of three months, beginning Dec. 29, 1890, and ending March 19, 1897. It provides for the following studies: boil tillage, diseases of farm animals, stock breed ing and judging, feeding cattle and hogs, farm dairying, fruit raising and 'vegetable gardening, ‘Carpentry and blacksmithing, domestic economy, etc. Aa explanation given in the circulur of the manner in which the instruction is given shows that the student ob tains much of it bjr actual practice and observation. Not that he will be ex pected to do the work of the farm with which he is already familiar, but such operations as judging stock, milk test ing, improved methods of butter-mak ing, tree grafting, treating sick ani mals, eta No examinations are required for en trance. There is a registration fee of one dollar.

In lUiflHouri the Bryan Banner Is Flaunted In Their Fares—At Paris* Payette and Other Place*** Silver Men Hoot Them Down—Gen. Buckner Uses Hot Lan guage—Gen. Palmer Surprised. Palmer and Buckner’s Experiences. Paris, Mo., Oct. 31.—As Generals Palmer and Buckner stood on the rear platform of their ear here this morn ing to speak for the gold standard, a number ot young men pushed up with a Bryan banner and flaunted it in the faces of the generals. The disturbers hooted for Bryan, whereat a number of ex-Confederate soldiers cried to General Buckner: "We are ashamed of them.’’ General Palmer tried to speak, but his words were drowned. “This is a fine country,” he exclaimed. Anally, “and if you want to argue your causes this way you can do so with impunity.” Fresh shouts of derision greeted.Gen eral Palmer and the old soldier grew indignant, while his eyes snapped. “Let these fellows witn long ears bray,” he exclaimed. T. B Buckner of Kansas City tried to quell the disturbance and Anally General Palmer was able to say that he simply wished to introduce General Buckner. General liuckner was cheered, but the crowd set up renewed cheers of “Look at the McKinley Aid Society!” General Buckner pointed at the ban ner and said: “Let me tell you who and what constitute the McKinley Aid society." Then referring’ to Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio, he said that the free silver agitators were the authors of the Democracy's ruin. “In 1892 on a sound money platform we elected Grover Cleveland, but the last elections in Missouri, in Illinois, in Kentucky, in Ohio, were disastrous be cause you. you sliouters with your heresies, drove the party on to failure and contempt. Hold up that banner. There is the emblem of the McKinley Aid society. Look at it.” The banner was then dropped to the ground. After hesitating some mo ments, the taunting wolds of General Buckner urged them to raise it again. Mingled cries of “shame" and hoots ensued. General Buckner said: “All through Iowa we were treated with great courtesy. I did not believe that we would be shown such disrespect in Mis souri. i do not believe that it went further than the few roughs.” General Palmer said thul all through the South he had not met with any thing of the sort and was deeply sur prised. Hoonvii.i.k, Mo., Oct. 30.—At Fay ette, a Bryan banner was advanced with an American flag murked: "Fay ette Democratic Club,” when Generan Palmer and Buckner appeared, and the hearers attempted to put the banner in General Palmer’s face.

A man tried to p.uneh General Buck ner with the flag pole aud Williams seized it and the erowd rushed.upon him and l>egan belaboring him. lie is a Democrat. The lighting went on under the eyes of Mrs. Palmer and Mrs. Buckner. The rioters tried to get at the generals and strike them with their Bryan ban ners. Scores of men fought* bitterly around the car und the train had to leave without a word from the candi dates being heard. Before the actual blows began to be exchanged, dozens of citizens rushed up and shook hands with the generals and Pope Yeaman. who was to have introduced them. Most of the rioters were young men, members of the Fayette Democratic club. They wore high white hats with Bryan's name inscribed thereon, aud white badges. Most of them seemed to belong to the well-to-do element. There was no warning of the intentions of the Fayette Democratic club. Skdai.ia. Mo.. Oct. 30.—At Hannibal, at Moberly and at Boonville the recep tion of the generals was in murked contrast to the disorders at Paris and Fayette.

A beautiful boqae. of yellow chrysanthemums was handed to General Palmer. At Pilot Grove, where the train only stopped a moment, a crowd with a Bryan banner was on liund to stop the speaking. At 1:30 o'clock a crowd of 5,000 met the train at Sedalia. The crowd was respectful, but cold, even under the mastcrsul oratory of ex-Congressman K. G. Frost of St. bonis, who intro duced General Buckner. The Ken tuckian made a speech of fifteen min utes' duration, in which he attacked the Brvan theories without mercy. General Palmer followed with his speech of warning. At 3 o'clock the generals separated and the general passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific railroad took General Palmer's partfr in charge for Kansas City. General Buckner told about the Paris and Payette incidents and created a sensation. A FILIBUSTER DEFIANT. Captain Lorain of the Dauntless Dares the tVtmlom to Fire oil Him. Atianta. Ga..

The Yount Actress of Noted Family liecomeg a Physician’s Wife, Baltimobk, Md.. Oct. 31. — A San Francisco dispatch announcing the hasty marriage in that city of Dr. Frank Donaldson and Ethel Chase Sprague, the actress, daughter of Kate Chase Sprague, did not surprise the .Maryland friends of Dr. Donaldson. He is the son of a Baltimore physician. Upon his graduation from Harvard he practiced lias profession for several years in this city with success. In early life he married Miss Nannie B. McDonald, member of an old Virginia family. They spent several years abroad, but upon their return from Europe Mrs. Donaldson procured a di vorce from her husband. One of the sisters of Dr. Donaldson three weeks ago received a letter announcing that he had accepted a professorship in one of the medical colleges of San Fran cisco. Prior to this he lived for some months in New York city. He has written several plays and was ouite a noted amateur actor, though he was never known to aspire to the profes sional stage. f It is understood that a secret mar riage was contracted by the young peo ple in July. The opposition of the bride's mother and the fear that it might injure her professional career have been given as the reason why an nouncement was not made at the time of the marriage several months ago. The discovery that the facts were known is said to be responsible for the | hurried religious ceremony performed last evening. * IUKINAUU IN OKLAHOMA.

'* From the Star, Valparaiso. Ind. The attention of the Star having been- > called to several cases of radical cures effected by Dr. Williams’ Fink Fills for Fale People, it was determined to in vestigate some of the more notable of these cases, with a view to disseminat ing exact information on the subject and benefiting others who were suffer ing. Prominent among those who had experienced benefits from the use of this remedy was mentioned Mrs. Mary Noren, wife of John Noren, a prosper ous farmer, living northeast of Valpar aiso, Ind.. and to her a reporter was accordingly dispatched. Mrs. Noren was found busily engaged in household duties, but she found time to detail her experience, and was willing and even anxious that the benefits she had felt should be.told for-the benefit : of those who had suffered as she did. “I had been ill since girlhood with a . complication of complaints,” said Mrs Noren, “never so much as to be confined, long in bed, but I suffered intense mis try. My chief trouble was with iny stomach. I felt a constant gnawing pain that was at times almost distract ing, and which had been diagnosed by - different physicians as dyspepsia and sympathetic derangement dependent on the condition of the generative organs. J had pains iu the back, sometimes so great as to make me unable to work, and frequent bilious attacks. I also suffered greatly from constipation, from . which I never could find permanent re lief. Then these symptoms were agra vated by rheumatic pains between the - shoulder blades, which were most ex cruciating in damp or cold weather. After my marriage about five years ago, and when my baby was born the trouble seemed to increase, and I was frequently so sick that I could not do my household work. I tried different physicians and used numerous remedies. but all in vain, until one day last fall I happened to read of Dr. Williams Fink l'ills for Pale People. My husband got three boxes from Mr. C. D. Iiushton, the druggist, and I began to use them. From the first X began to feel relief, and before the three boxes were gone, I was nearly well. The constipation was cured and the other troubles were so much relieved that I felt better than I had felt for years As I continued in the use of the pills I grew better and strong, my appetite was more natural, and my flesh increased, until I atn in the condition yon see me now. ” Dr. Williams' Fink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements nec essary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves.

In the agricultural line, Texas leads all other states in the variety of its products. Cotton, corn, and the cereals grow and are raised in every section of the state and in the central and south ern portions sugar cane and sorghum ctAie are profitably cultivated. On the (lulf Coast two or three crops of veg etables are raised each year, berries are shipped six weeks in advance of the home crop in the north. Pears, peaches, plums, oranges, figs, olives, and nuts all grow abundantly and can be marketed from two to three weeks in advance of the California crops. Large quantities of rice are now grown.
