there has been only one such grade
made in the state

The Markets
South Omaha, February,22.—Special
Market letter from Nye & Buchanan.
—As we expected last week’s advance
and stormy weather is followed by
heavy receipts and a weaker market.
Fifteen to twenty cents, or about half
of last week’s gain has been takan off.
However, we expect to see a little re
action for the better by the close of
the week. Stockers and feeders are
holding about steady.

easier. Range $5.90 to $6.05.
Sheep values advanced to within 10
to 15 cents of the high point again
last week, but liberal receipts so far
this week have brought another break
of 20 to 35 cents, the half fat kind
suffering the most.
Common Colds are the Cause of Many
Serious Diseases.
Physicians who have gained a na
tional reputation as analysts of the
cause of various diseases, claim that
if catching cold could be avoided a
long list of dangerous ailments would
never be heard of. Every one knows
that pneumonia and consumption ori
ginate from a cold, and chronic ca
tarrh, bronchitis, and all throat and
lung trouble are aggravated and repd
ered more serious by each fresh attack.
Do not risk your life or take chances
when you have a cold. Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy will cure it before
these diseases develop. This remedy
contains no opium, morphine or other
harmful drug and has thirty years of
reputation back of it, gained by its
cures under every cohdition. For sale

be cured by applying Chamberlain’s

relief, bind on a piece of flannel slight
ly dampened with Pain Balm, and
quick relief is almost sure to follow.

Consumption
<J There is no specific for
consumption. Fresh air, ex
ercise, nourishing food and
Scott’s Emulsion will come
pretty near curing it, if there
is anything to build on. Mil
lions of people throughout the
world are living and in good
health on one lung.
From time immemorial the
doctors prescribed cod liver
oil for consumption. Of
course the patient could not
take it in its old form, hence
it did very little good. They
can take
SCOTT’S
EMULSION
and tolerate it for a long
lime. There is no oil, not
excepting butter, so easily
digested and absorbed by the
system as cod liver oil in the
form of Scott’s Emulsion,
and that is the reason it is so
helpful in consumption where
its use must be continuous.

The Indorsement of checks Is a very
simple thing, but, as the following story
will show. It, too, has its difficulties:
A woman went into a bank where
she had several times presented checks
drawn to Mrs. Lucy B. Smith. This
time the check was made to the order
of Mrs. M. J. Smith—M. J. were her
husband’s Initials. She explained this
to the paying teller and asked what she
should do.
“Oh, that is all right,” he said. “Just
Indorse It as it Is written there.”
She took the check and, after much
hesitation, said, “I don’t think I can
make an M like that”
Hair.
Animal hair differs In construction
from that grown on a human head. In
human hair the upper skin Is smooth
and thin. The circular section Is com
paratively broad, forming the main
part of the hair shaft It Is striped in
appearance and carries the color mat
ter. The tubular part Is thin, extend
ing to about one-fifth and certainly not
more than to one-quarter of the entire
width of the hair. Animal hair also
consists of three parts, but these are
differently constructed, the tube often
filling the entire hair.

Discovers a Broken Rail and Flags
Passenger Train With a Gunny
Sack.
j Ord Quiz: A case of boy heroism of
! more than usual mangnitude comes
| to the notice of the writer this week.
I When the Union Pacific freight was
making its return trip to the
Island last Monday evening it knock
ed several inches from a rail at a
point a couple of miles this side of
Elba. Oscar Hudson, a twelve-year
old boy, passing along the track after
the train had passed discovered the
break and realized that there would
be something doing when the passen
ger went down in the morning if the
break was not repaired or the proper
persons warned of the rail’s broken
condition. Tuesday morning, it will
be remembered, there was some
thing of a blizzard going on but the
youngster still had in mind the brok
en rail and with a piece of gunnysack
he started down the track to flag the
train. The keen eyes of Engineer
Rollins soon spotted a boy frantically
waving a sack and the time was still
shorter than it took him to make up
his mind that the boy meant business
and no mistake. The engine was re
versed and the train crew went for
ward to repair the break when it was
discovered that it was of such a nature
that had it not been discovered the
engine, at least, and probably part of
the train ditched. During the repair
ing of the broken rail the little fellow,
although blue and shivering with cold,
insisted on helping repair the break
and seeing the train properly started
on its way again.

Girls who are fond of earrings may
perhaps be interested in hearing a
few facts about them. Sad it is for the
emancipated woman of the present
day to learn that these fashionable or
naments were originally a mark of
slavery. In bygone days the slave al
ways wore his master’s earrings. In
the east they were a sign of caste and
were buried with the dead. Some an
cient earrings were very elaborate, and
many statues had their ears bored in
readiness for votive offerings of ear
rings. In England the earliest earrings
were very cumbrous and made of
■tone or wood. The eighteenth century
saw the glorification of file earring,
fashionable beauties outvying each oth
er with the rarest and moat beautiful
Jewels.—London Graphic.
▲ New Application of Scripture.
There was rejoicing in the village at
the killing of a pig. Being dead, It
was cut up. A neighbor’s cat stole se
cretly into the larder and annexed a
piece of pork, which she brought In
triumph to her mistress. Next day the
clergyman of the parish visited the old
woman, who recounted to him the re
markable sagacity of the beast. "It
was quite beautiful, sir,” she said
piously, “to see the way the aweet
creature brought me the piece of pork.
It brought to my mind what we read
in the Bible about Elijah nnd the
ravens.”
Not lulls, Not Believing.
There was a man In Nottinghamshire
who discontinued the donation he had
regularly made for a time to a mis
sionary society. When asked as to his
reasons he replied: "Well, I've traveled
a bit In my time. I’ve been as far as
Sleaford, In Lincolnshire, and I never
saw a black man, and I don’t believe
there are any."—London Standard.
The Physical.
The morality of clean blood ought to
be one of the first lessons taught us by
our pastors and teachers. The physical
Is the substratum of the spiritual, and
this fact ought to give to the food we

ent significance.—Tyndale.
