Dyspeptic.
"I have been suffering for
over two years with Dyspepsia.
For the last yeur I could not
take a drink of cold water nor
cat any meat without vomiting
it up. My life was a misery. I
had had recommended Sim
mons Liver Regulator, of which
I am now taking the second
bottle, and the fact is that
words cannot express the relief
I feel. My appetite is very
good, and I digest everything
thoroughly. I sleep well now,
and I used to be very restless.
I am fleshing up fast; good,
strong food and Simmons Liv
er Regulator have done it all.
I write this in hopes of benefit
ing sonic one who has suffered
as I did, and would take oath
to these statements if desired."

SOUTHERN IMPUDENCE.
Washington, May 29. Three more
southern companies left the drill grounds
at dress parade this afternoon becuase
they heard that our Washington cadets
colored were to be pcrmitcd to take part
in the parade. There is great retience ob
served at headquarters about the occur
rence, but there is said to be quite a hub
bub about the matters at headquarters
tonight. It is safe to say thnt the troops
which left the field had no chance to win
any of the prises. Three soldiers were
also takeu from the grounds at dress
parade, to the hospital, being overcome
with heat.
A BATTLE WITH BANDITS.
Bransville, Tex., May 31. Yesterday
morning Bal-a cut off, above Santa Maria,
in the Mexican territory, and a refuge of
desperate bandits, thieves and smugglers,
was raided by forces from both sides of
the river. Sheriff Breto of t'lis county
and Deputy Clansner of Hidalgo, with
about fifty ranchers and deputies entered
and drove out the bandits who met with
a reception from the other side from a
detachment of the Third cavilry, under
command of Col. Hermandu. A sharp
fight ensued in which Hermandu was
wounded, one of his men killed, and
another wounded. One bandit was kill
ed, and several wounded and a number
captured, several of whom, who were
well known murderers, were executed on
the spot. A large amount of stolen stock
was found and returned to its owners.
SPANISH BAD FAITH.
Madrid, May 31 The minister of the
colonies announced in the courts today
that the government had decided to
largely increase the import duties on
goods imported from nations which, like
the United States, had no commercial
treaty with Sprin. This announcement
is an indirect contradiction of the prom
ises made by that government to the Cu
ban home rulers, who recently demanded
low tariff and other economic reforms as
the price of their abstention from agita
ting the question of annexing the Spanish
West Indies to the United States, and it
generally denounced as a gratuitious
piece ot bad faith.
THE AFAGHAN "WAR.
St. Petersburg, May 31. News has
reached Merv, from Herat, that the Ghil
zais have defeated 1,000 of the ameer's
regular troops, and captured five guns
and considerable baggage. The inhabi
tants of the province of Herat and the
adjoining districts are greatly excited ov
er the success of the revolted tribe, and
it is said they are ready to join the Ghil
zais. ETNA AGITATED.
Rome, May 31. The central crater of
Mount Etna has been erupting this morn
ing. The flow continues increasing m
volume. Heavy clouds of smoke and
masses of stones and cinders are issuing
from the crater.
THE FISHERIES QUESTION.
Ottawa, May 30. In the senate last
evening Sower moved that in opening
this house it was the duty of the govern
ment of Cr?3 tosee that 'any arrange-
ment for the admission of United States
fishermen to the territorial water of Can
ada which uiay be entered into between
the government of (treat Britian and the
United States, a special provision should
be made that fishermen of the latter coun
try, when within the waters of Canada,
shall be subject to the laws and regula
tions by which Canadian fishermen arc
for the time being governed. Abbot,
leader of the government, said the Do
minion government would bring the mat
ter before the imperial authorities and sec
that the rights of Canada were maintain
ed. The motion was unanimously ad
opted. LON'O LIVE HoUL ANGER.
Paris, May 31. There was a brilliant
assemblage at the millitary fete, but Bov
langcr was absent. While the company
was assembling thousands of persons
gathered in tho vicinity of the opera
house shouting "Resignation!"
'Lorn
live Boulangcr!" "We will have him!"
etc. At eleven o'clock the crowd which
had greatly increased in numbers, became
so turbulent the republican guard was
ordered to clear the street which was ac
complished mid loud hissing. At mid
night the crowd assembled in greater
force with riotous demonstrations. An
increased force of soldiers and police
was ordered out aud succeeded in pre
venting trouble. The crowds finally dis
persed shouting "Vive Boulanger." At
2 a. m. the city is quiet.
The Nebraska Chautauqua.
We are reminded by circulars left iu
our railway cars, offices and shops, that
the time is near at hand for the annual
gathering of the Nebraska Chautauqua
Assembly at Crete, from May 2D, to July
9th. But perhaps this is not enough
we need to be reminded anew of the sig
nificance of this gathering. The social
duties, political campaigns and real es
tate booms of the past yeaa have doubt
less crowded this out of mind. Intensi
ty, specialism so mark this age that we
are all sure to get rusty upon some side,
and need to be taken away from what is
the one absorbing interest, and brought
in contact with those who will turn the
other side or things to us. We need some
thing to divert us from the beaten track,
to clear our vision as to what arc reali
ties, and what are only conventional im
positions, and this assembly at Crete
which furnishes to the most of us our on
ly opportunity ought to be mnde much of.
If you want physical rest this is a good
place to find it. You can have sunshine
or shade, as you choose, a retired spot to
pitch your tent, or swing your hammock
the quiet of nature without the loneli
ness of isolation.
If you want intellectual awakening,
sharpening, come and listen to the logic,
wit and wisdom that, some of the very
best minds of our country will bring us.
If you are weary of the humdrum every
day life, impatient of the social triviali
ties and empty formalities, leave all these,
bring only the sweet courtesies and spend
a few days where we are all but children
of the one Father, enjoying the same
good things from the same loving hand.
We have space for but the different de
partments, each representing many separ
ate exercises. "Sermons. Literature, Lan
guage, Science. Theological, Historical
and Religious." Political Economy; So
cial Questions; Law; Travels, besides en
tertainments of elocution, music, etc.
Added to this are the summer classes, in
which attention is-given to the Liberal
Arts, Law Lectures, Kindergarten In
struction, Micoscopy, Oratory, Clay Mod
eling, Art, Musical Instruction, Physical
Culture, Photography, Sunday School
Normal Work, etc., etc.
Of course, but a small part of this pro
gram for two months, could be put into
our space of ten days, but the same wise
policy is pursued this year, as has here
tofore marked the arrangements of the
Nebraska Assembly, to increase the
quantity as rapidly as practicable, but
not to discount the quality. So we find
upon our list such names as Dr. Pente
cost, Dr. Duryea, Rev. C. S. Ilenson, and
from the reputation of the latter, I would
suggest that any who are afraid of being
hit, might better be absent, while he de
livers his lecture entitled, "Gunnery."
The eloquent temperance lecturer, Hon.
Geo. W. Bain, of Kentucky, will be here,
also Col. Homer D. Sprague and others
"who but to mention is to praise."
Those who were here three vears ago
will be glad to welcome Mrs. Kenedy
who will t&ke charge of the children's
department of bible instruction. And the
presence of Miss Lucia Kimball, superin
tendent of the national W. C. T. U., will
be pleasure and inspiration to the friends
of temperance present
It is enough to say of the music de
partment, that Prof. Sherwin r3 it in
charge, with a compete-: ' - ist-
ants. On G. A. R. day, the 4 th of July,
Gen. H. A. morrow, of Sidney, will de
liver the address. He will bring with him
the 21bt infantry band, U. S. A., of 21
pieces, said to be the best in th j army.
The SchuhiTt quartette, of Chicago, will
be here.
Hon. J. M. Wool worth, of Omaha, will
address the lawyers, and on the evening
of the same day, lion. J. M. Thurston
will deliver his lecture upon General
Grant.
It is not known who will speak to the
editors, but we arc assured that it will be
one of their ablest and most eloquent.
Frank Beard will bo here with chalk
and blackboard to instruct and entertain.
The comfort of those tenting upon the
grounds will be looked after by Z. Wa
terman, of Crete, the gentlemanly super
intendent of grounds.
With all these, under the general su
perintendence of Dr. Dunning, whose
equal as conductor of such an assembly it
would be hard to find. We are safe in as
suring nil who come that they will have
a good time. Crete Ulube.

The Sailor and Ills Trousers.
"How do I keep my trousers from bagging
at the knees? echoed an old man who Lad
served many years in the British navy. "Why,
that's one of the simplest things in tho world
if a man only knows how and will put him
self to a little trouble at iirst. Jack Tar's
trousers, as you know, are very close reefed
and built snug and taut all the way down un
til near the bottom, where they are given
full sail and spread themselves well over the
boots. They are the very kind that are apt
to bag at the knees, so that one of the first
things the young landlubber is taught when
he enters the navy is how to wear them. No
doubt you have often heard of tho sailor tak
ing a hitch in his trousers every time he sits
down, and no doubt you thought he did it
merely as a sort of introduction to the yarn
he was about to spin.
"Yes, few people would imagine that the
hitch is what keeps the trousers straight; but
just think a moment and you will recollect
that they fit very tight around tho knee, and
that whenever you sit down and poke out
your knees you stretch tho cloth. That's
what makes the bagging. By taking a few
hitches in your trousers when you sit down
you leave plenty of Black for the knees to play
in, and your clothes will wear out before they
will bag. After taking tho hitch a few times it
will become almost second nature to you, and
you will do it unconsciously every time you
sit down. The hitch may be simple, but it's
worth more to a man than one of those patent
$5 trousers stretchers. As for the coat, not
one in a dozen knows how to button it 60 that
it will set well Tho proper way is to begin
at the bottom button and go up. Not a day
passes but I have to laugh at people who say
they are going to button their coats up, and
then calmly proceed to button them down."

Growing Fast the Wrong Way.
By the recent census Manitoba has 108,640
people. In 1SS1 the territories were found to
contain 43,SG2. Thus tho total for population
of Manitoba and the northwest is 157.C00. In
1883 the government estimated it at 203,152;
in 1SS4 at 243,103. These figures were based
on returns of thy immigration department It
appears, therefore, that 91,103 settlers have
been lost, to say nothing of the increase that
should have occurred by birth.
By the census of 1SS1 Manitoba had 65,954,
tho territories were credited with 56,446, a
total of 123,400 people. In six years Manitoba
has gained but 42,614, including what is
gained by extension of boundaries, and a fall
third of the total gain has been added to the
city of Winnipeg. Toronto Globe.
