The mother who permits her ten
year old daughter to “do as she
pleases” is farrowing her own brow
and giving the girl a good start on
the road to ruin.
If a man can only prove that he
is orazy he will never get to the pen.
The crazy dodge as an excuse for
crime is only a covering to conceal
the evil passions of men.
The frequency of suicides of the
“most highly respected man” in the
realm and a woman turning up in
suspicious connection therewith in
spires the thought, Is anybody good ?

The World-Herald reproduces
from the Chioago Socialist lieview
a brilliant pen picture of the wed

It is now in order for some gifted
writer to picture the scene around
the “professor’s” divorced wife on
that same night.
Omaha Bee: Will Nebraska never
cease to rub it in on the calamity
howler ? It is now announced that,
instead of being a borrower from
the eaet, Nebraska banks have actu
ally loaned over $1,000,000 to New
York. The popooratio orator must
hunt up a new song, the one about
“poor, poverty stricken farmer” will
not answer this season, for it is from
the rural districts that this surplus
comes.
“Elijah” Dowie said at an as
semblage of his followers that when
he died he had appointed Mrs.
Dowie as his successor, and asked
how many would support her in the
“prophetio” office. The whole vast
audience arose. He then asked how
many would support his son in the
same office when Mrs. Dowie dies.
Again the audience arose. But why
need “Elijah” Dowie die? Why not
reincarnate himself? Elijah, the
prophet of Israel in the days of
Jezabel, whom Dowie declares him
self to be, was caught up to heaven
without tasting death the reoord
says. Has the aged prophet return
ed to this earth of vanities and
sorrows to go through the dark val
ley of death after dwelling in the
glories of an eternal world these
many centuries? Folly of follies!
The South Omaha street fair,
which was started for pecuniary
gain by South Omaha business meD,
while in one sense is paying a good
dividend, is nevertheless the worst
thing that ever happened to South
Omaha. There is not a praiseworthy
word in any paper and the senti
ment of all but the rough and law
less is strongly adverse to the bull
tights and brutalizing exhibitions
that have been carried on there.
The Bee, which might reasonably be
expected to show as much favor as
possible to the show, prints a half
column editorial condemning it.
But there seems to be worse features
of the fair than the tighting with
beasts. The Bee says: “The truth
of the matter is that the sham bull
fights are the least offensive feature
of the South Omaha fair. The pro
tection guaranteed to pickpockets,
crooks and skin gamblers to ply
their vocations, without police inter
ference, in the crowed streets and
the extemporized dens of vice is
more reprehensible.”
When of Age.
Naper News: The O’Neill Fron
tier was twenty-one years old last
week, and it is endowed with all the
wisdom and virtue incumbent on ono
old enough to vote and raise whis
kers. It is one of the best news
papers and party organs in this part
of the state, and we hope its pros
perity and power for good will be
continusd indefinitely.
As a Factor in Immigration.
Chambers Bugle: With the last
week’a issue our esteemed contemp
orary The Frontier reached the
twenty-first year of its life. To The
Frontier belongs the credit of having
done much through its columns in
building up the county of Holt, of
inducing immigration and settle
ment upon the lauds of the county
by a sturdy class of people, and on
all public questions of vital interest
to the people it has generally been
found on the side of justice. A
copy of The Frontier fell into our
hands while residing in the southern
part of the state and the glowing
description given of Holt county in
duced us to cast our lot with the
early settlers of this portion of the
county, and we have never had oc
casion to regret the move we made.
Doubtless very many others have
found their way here through the
same medium.

Wur UMtroyi Vornta.
Twsnty-ttve years ago, in 1876, Ber
via was clothed with forests and was
aptly termed "the land of the forest,”
but the Servlan-Turco troubles of
1876-78 played havoc with the forests.
Thousands of acres were stripped of
trees In order to serve for fortifications
or to bar the advance of the Turkish
army or to warm the great masses of
troops that camped on the land during
two winters. The war was followed by
a period of ruthless destruction of the
forests, vast tracts being sold at a rid
iculous price or denuded to supply the
railroads.
While Man Turned Yellow.
Great oonsternatiou was felt by the
friends of M. A. Hogarly of Lexington,
Kentucky, when lliev saw be was turn
ing yellow. Uis skin slowly changed
color, also his eyes and he suffered ter
ribly. His malady was yellow jaundice.
He was treated by the best doctors, but
without benefit. Then he was advised
to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful
stomach and liver remedy, and he writ
es; “After taking two bottles I was
wholly cured." A trial proves its match
less merit for tdl stomach, liver and kid
ney troubles. Only 50 cents. Bold by

expeditions in the Himalayas and tlia
Andes, has been appointed Slade pro

Cambridge in succession to Dr. Charier
Waldstein. The serious work of his
life has been in the history of art. He

Growth of New York.
The excess of births over deaths in
New York is, on an average, about
5,000 a year, and if there were not
constant immigration into New York
from foreign countries and from othei

growth of the city would be 50,000 in
ten years, or less than 1*4 per cent in
a decade. Actually, the Increase in
population Is at the rate of 3$ p r

CHANGES IN WATCHES.
Old-Faihloned "Hull s • Eye” Silver
Watches Are Disappearing*
The almost total disappearance of
the old-fashioned ‘‘bull’s-eye” silver
watches is a source of wonderment to
even some W'atch dealers. It is prac
tically impossible to pick up one
now among them. A Chicago Tribune
reporter made the rounds of the watch,
pawn, and junk shops recently in quest
of one of these old timepieces, and did
not find it. One dealer said he knew
where a single specimen was, but later
admitted that the owner either had
sold or lost it. A veteran watchmaker
who can make a watch by hand, in re
ferring to the disappearance of the
‘‘bull’s eyes,” said: ‘‘It is only natural,
I suppose, that they should disappear.
None of them were first-class time
pieces. I mean that the best of them
would vary as much as a minute a
week. The cheaper machine-made
watches keep better time and cost less.
The first of these old ‘bull’s-eyes’ car
ried the regulation Virdge movement.
One hundred years ago the Virdge
watches were carried by all business
men. Later the English watchmakers
made ‘bull’s-eyes’ with improvements
on the Virdge movement. I haven’t
seen a Virdge for two or three years.
As a matter of fact, those old-fash
ioned, key-winding silver watches are
worth only what the silver in the cases
amounts to. The metal represents
about a dollar in value. The works
are worthless. Only one or two small
wheels are taken out by the dealers.
Sometimes they are useful in repairing
family heirlooms. What are they
worth? Why, nothing at all as time
pieces. The best way to get one is
to keep on inquiring among the grand
fathers and great uncles until you run
across one, and then beg it or buy it.
It is practically worthless, except as
a relic.”
COBWEB PICTURES,
Unique Pictures Made by Mrs. Game
well, a St. Louis Lady.
Making pictures and decorations out
of cobwebs, peanut shells and postage
stamp0 is an art created by Mrs. Belle
Cooper Gamewell of St. Louis, Mo.
Taken up as a fad the art has develop
ed into a business and Mrs. Gamewell
is making money, although she is
well-to-do in the world. When Mrs.
Gamewell wants to make one of her
queer pictures she must first hunt un
til she finds a cobweb. The kind that
accumulates in the corner of the ceil
ing in the homes where the house
maids can’t see anything higher than
the mantlepiece is best for the purpose.
When she finds a web she takes it
down very carefully and spreads it in
the bottom of a pasteboard box. Some
times it is necessary to gather several
cobwebs to provide sufficient fairy can
vas for one picture.
When the web has been spread over
the bottom of the box it is ready to
be painted on. Mrs. Gamewell uses
brushes and oil paints, but she can
not wield the brush like the ordinary
painter who puts hia colors on a big,
coarse canvas. She dips her brush in
the paints very carefully, so that she
gets only a tiny drop on it each time.
The ordinary artist draws a line with
a sweep of his hand. She builds the
line drop by drop without ever actually
touching the web with her brush. In
this way she makes landscapes and
flower designs that are greatly admired
by her little friends. When all the
paint has been deposited drop by drop
on the web it is permitted to dry. Then
Mrs. Gamewell covers it with a piece
of thin glass or mica and the picture^
is complete.
Men Like Tan Shoes.
“Shoe manufacturers have been try
ing hard for four years to drive tar.
and colored shoes out of the market.”
said a Chestnut street dealer, “and
they have made an ignominous failure
of it. The boom in cheap patent leath
ers, which was started purposely to
squeeze the tan shoes from the market
has almost collapsed. Many factories
did not send out samples of colored
shoes for this season’s trade, but sent
patent leather samples instead. The
manufacturers who did not make this
mistake are the men who are getting
the summer's business, Men like tap
shoes, and that’s all there is about it,
Women are not so fond of them be
cause they are more trouble to keep
clean.”—Philadelphia Times.
The Laud of Earthquake*.
There are certain generally accepted
conclusions which are entirely wrong.
Pne of these is as to the land of the
most frequent earthquakes. Ask al
most any person and he will tell you
that most earthquakes are in Japan;
but he is wrong. It seems as though
we hear more about earthquakes at or
near Japan than at any other place,
jbut when the facts are tabulated we
find that Greens is far ahead of Japan.
The latest complete reports cover a peT
riod of six years from 1893 to 1893,
and during that time 3,187 earthquakes
Occurred in Greece and about one-half
of that number in Japan. The island
of Zanta alone had 2,018 shocks during
the six years.
Our Export* to Mexico.
Last year the United States sent
over $31,000,000 worth of goods Into
Mexico. This was nearly $7,000,000
more than the year before. The in*
crease of late has been chiefly due to
large exportations of machinery and
electrical supplies. Mexico buys a
good deal of her coal from this coun
try, but the amount is not likely to be
Increased, as the factories in Mexico
are changing over from steam to elec
tric power. The rivers are many in
number and every one is a series of
waterfalls, owing to the hilllness of
the country.
