Andrson Is Cheerful-
Johnstown, Neb., July 27. At 11
o'clock tonight .John Anderson was fctill
imprisoned in the well. Work today has
progressed very slowly. Anderson him
self lins worked most of tin; day. Food
und water ban leen given him in an in
creased quantity and he is gaining
strength. Today a coat and hat was
lowered to him and tonight blankets for
him to mako a bed. lie is in good spirits
and feels more confident of being saved
than those who are trying to rescue him.
lie has done most of the planning today
and his head seems to be as level and
his judgement as good as though nothing
had happened him. Old, experienced
well diggers and miners Ray it is the most
difficult and dangerous job they ever saw.
The sand being coartfc and loose, runs and
slides very bud and at times it is very
hard to keep it from coming in on the
man and smothering him. To get out he
will have to come up through this sund.
To prevent an accident, a small curb lias
been made and when the hole is made
large enough the plan is to h rvc Ander
son get in the curbing and to pull both
, out at the same time. What the result
will be will likely lie known by 8 o'clock.
Considerable dissatisfaction is being man
ifested by the people in the vicinity ow
ing to the time the rescuing parti- has
been at work without being successful.
It is rumored that if the man is not tak
en out tomorrow, others will take charge
of the work and see if they can be more
successful.
That Secret extradition Treaty.
England has murdered or driven from
T ' land over ten million people during
the reign of Victoria, and still the same
nation hounds you to this country and
lias the hellish audacity to approach our
legislators and ask them to pass laws by
V. hi' h England could extradite any Irish
man who would attempt to defend his
own and his family's life and their home
from the accursed landlord and bailiff.
Yes, this back stairway English treaty,
was dravwi up by the democratic United
States minister in London, arid at the
dictation of English statesmen, and that
treaty worded by Englishmen was sent
to the United States scutate to be ratified.
It was ratified by Cleveland whom the
Jrish vote put in office, then sent to the
senute for their "secret" approval!
i.et jiisi.meu remember ijiu on election
day that Cleveland appi overt it, and
every democratic senator in this country
voted to have it discussed and conilimcd
in private. The republican senators
voted to have it discussed in public ro
that the people would know what was
said about it and who said it. Cleveland
and his cabinet seeing that they were
likely to meet great opposition had
i;hl over tiJi next l-ieeemher when it will
be. called up again. If any true Irishman
ever votes for Cleveland or any demo,
emtio senator after knowing and hearing
this, 1 hopu the ghost of some "red devil"
will haunt him forever, even to the day
of judgment, till he repents in sack cloth
and ashes for his wickedness.

ti. answer to many inquiries regarding
the permanency of cures wrought by St.
Jacobs Oil to which publ.c attention has
been specifically called in many varied
forms, the following serves as a most ex
cellent example of how the great remedy
performs its miracles and what is meant
by a permanent cure. Hundreds have
tsljlied to ihe tame effect, Mr. J. E.

cured of rheumatism. From the age of
15 to -IS. about o;$ years, he had suffered
acutely at times from that dread disease
and at the date specified, he was perma
nently cured by St. Jacobs Oil. In proof
of this, ho writes in 18S( that he has had
no reoccurrence of rheumatic pains since
his relief in 1SS1. Again in April, l!ssS,
he writes as follows: "My health con
tinues good; no return of rheumatism
fcinee 1SS1 when cured by St. Jacobs Oil.

"SHOCKING."
The newst industrial "craze" is "smock

Years ago our grandmothers "giv.ocki'd"
or "honey-combed" their best bedspreads
t,nd towels. Now it is being used con
siderably for trimming dresses. It is
very ornamental; the pattern is usually a
diamond-shaped design, and it is said the
knack once acquired, the work is easy
and rapid, -furious it is how fashions
reassert themselves in all branches. Take
si group of ladies, chatting over their
morning fancy-work. The needle of one
speeds over a band of smocking-work;
another clicks a bewildering number of
loner, steel needles, rounding the toe of a
silk stocking, and another croc'uts a
quaint coin purse, just as did the dames

LIFE OF A JOCKEY.
WHAT ONL MUST DO TO BE A
SUCCESSFUL RIDER.
The Kxcllenient of Winning a Ilaro N't
rtiity of Careful !Ia!il A Cool llud
anil ;miI Judgment A Certain Knack.
Kxlidiirut ion.
The life of a professional jockey is full of
the wildest and mostJ unrestrained excite
ment. I doubt if its parallel eun be found
in nny other vocation. WuU-li even tho
casual Htfctutoi' of u hor-o race as ho sits on
tho grand stand calmly viewing tlio start,
ami then sco him ns the horses speed around
tho track, the on looker becomes interested
mora and more until, by tho tiuio tho winner
Las (-ronncd tho lint?, lie is st-amliny in his
chair, madly waving his arms and cheering
until his breath i;i one.
That is tho wuy u closely contested race
affects even a passive spectator. To what
feverish excitement then is tho jockey him
self subjected, who, next tothu(;ood mount
under Lis saddle, is tho most net ivo partici
pant in tho contest f Yet urni'd it ull the
rider must bu as cool and elear-hoaded as if
ho were simply taking a 'constitutional"
morning canter on his father's favorite mare.
CAREFCL IX HABITS.
In order to bo successful ns a jockey one
must necessarily Imj careful in Lis habits, and
must 1x3 in what wo might call partial train
ing all tho time. There is no necessity for
tho rigorous diet and abstemiousness w hich
is considered essential to thos who engngo
in athletic sports, but tho most extreme euro
is absolutely necessary, that tho weight may
be kept down to the proper figure, ami for
that reason ail food which has a tendency to
increase flesh must le avoided.
For my own part I may saj- that I have
always been temperate in my habits. I use
tobacco to a small extent, lt;t eat almost any
thing to which I take a fancy, although some
times I am obliged to pay the penalty. It Is
my purpose always to keep myself down to
ulout 112 pounds in weight. The lowest
weight I have ever attained was 107 pounds,
and tho highest l.'IO pounds, so, to reuiico
myself to tho right avoirdupois, I was once
Torced to knock oft just eighteen pounds of
jujK'rflaous flc'ah, and it ws no easy miflf -hiking.
When I find myself accumulating weight
too rapidly 1 begin to tako long walks, wear
',ng sweaters and tho heaviest winter cloth
ing, which i.s not especially enjoyable in hot
summer weather. A walk of rrom eight to
ten miles, dressed in the condition describe d,
will usually disposo of from one to two
pounds of extra flesh. These walks are in
dulged in only when the necessity requires,
and are by no means of daily oceiirryij?", fur
which J am duly thankful.
Tho ono all important requisite for a suc
cessful jockey is to keep a cool bend and to
possess au unerring judgment, for if ho loses
one and fails of having the other at a critical
moment, ho will never overcome the many
obstacles that meet him with every turn of
the track, and never win a race unless ho is
mounted upon, a horse that v. ill eai ry join
through in spit of himself; "Thr
much UI,a nnesso to be exercised on
the race course as on tho battlefield. One
must know his enemy thoroughly, and mut
be alive to take instant advantage or any
errors his opixmcuts may make. "lie must
endeavor to make his rivals use up all their
strength before the critical moment comes,
and must reserve for himself sufficient force
to carry him safely through the final
struggle.
A KNACK OF RIDIV?.
But above r.ll. he should be ei y intimately
acquainted with the capabilities of his own
horse, and must bo thoroughly conversant
with nil its points of weakness, as well as its
dement otrength, for the former muv
often ho taken advantage of if thy a, not
known to' his opponents, There is a certain
knack of riding which it is difficult to ex
plain, but which has a substantial existence
just tho same, that enables one to almost lift;
his horse along, especially in pnssi-.ig under
the wire, when a forty nUe leap will carry
you to th.o ft out by even a nose. Many n
luck' win of mine has been made in thii
way, noticeably in tho receut we
Tea Tray and Trista Xix. at "the fore,
and Tristan won hy S3 small a fraction that
it is bedd t bat no one on the track saw tho
true result, excopting the judges. In that
race, which was one of the most exciting in
which I have ever been engaged, I was able
to lift Tristan almost by main stiw.glh,
when I felt that I had surely lost, just enough
to win. ,
The sensations which a jockey expcrieiice3
iq speeding around the track are many and
varied, and there is always the utmost ex
hilaration of mind, and every muscle of his
body is drawn to a tension approaching the
breaking point, lie has little time to view
the landscape within the inclosure, or to seo
the mad crowd that is cheering him on from
the grand stand, or at the fences close by tho
track, even if his eyes are not blinded by the
showers of mud or the clouds of dust with
which the enemy in front delight to greet
aim. But he knows instinctively that the
landscape and the crowd are there, oud ha
hears the cheers of the mob faintly above the
clattering of the horses' hoofs. These are
quiet and subdued sounds at the start, which
are completely lost the moment the first turn
is made, and then they cease altcguther until
tho homestretch Is gained, when the noise
grows gradually loader, but seldom becomes
a good sized one for tho jockey's ears. It is
whe.i tho race is over and the victory is wou
that tho jockey remembers all he has passed
through. Tho nervous exhaustion occasioned
by a record breaking mile is excessive, but a
bath and rub down soon puts tho jockey in
healthy trim for the next race. William

Vheu Annoyed by Masqnitoes.
From country places all around New York
i hear a wail of agony anent the ferocious
niusquito, which this summer seems to have
broken his record for frequency and viru
lenoe of executive ability. It seems that the
peculiar climatic vagaries of this uncomfort
able summer have just suited the musquito's
peculiar fancy. Anyhow he is out in force,
aud the discoverer of a preparation which
will prevent his attacking hands, face or
ankles is sure of an abiding reward both now
and in the hereafter. My own experience
teaches me that the nearest approach to this
desirable compound is extract of penny
royal, which should bo plentifully smeared
on all exposed portions of the person. The
odor is not unpleasant, and as the extract
consists largely of alcohol, evaporation is
speedy and a pleasant coolness results.
While the odor is apparent no niusquito will
put his proboscis in working distance. To
relieve the itching of bites nothing is more
effectual than common washing soda, moist
ened and rubbed on the spot. "B.B.J' in

AFTER THE EXAMINATIONS.
fbnt n IjmIj Principal Think of "Crum
ming" MctlnxU In Our Schools.
A lady, who is principal of ono of the
largest and finest of cur public schools, and
whose mental und physical qualifications aro
far ebovo the average, said: "Am I glad tho
examinations aro over Glad.' Why, it is
like letting one out of prison like lifting a
ton's weight from me. It is to mo a terrible
ordeal. These examinations of tho school
are really examinations of me. My pupils'
standing is my standing. I am judged by it.
Sometimes w hen I think that allare well pro
pared someof them may fall me. 1 worry and
fret (to myself and within myself) more than
any one knows. 1 labor and strain some
times it is almost agony to prepare them.
I heartily denounce the forcing, cramming
process. It is wicked and wrong and un
reasonable, aud very often defeats itself. I
cannot help what I Lave to do, and to go
through theso examinations thco children
must be. forced and strained. I can seo
plainly, and so can any intelligent iersoii,
that tho children suil'er in health and in
mind. It is cruel, it is unjust, it is very un
profitable. "Main- I say many, and I know what I
say and mean it very many children
memorize lessons and can repeat them liko a
parrot; they tug, struggle, push and pass
th-ir examinations simply liecauso they are
shoved or hoisted through by machine like
methods. They can glibly repeat many
things that they study, of thos -use ami prac
tical application of which they are utterly
ignorant. Girls, of course, ure naturally
more prono to spells of exhaust ion und faint
ing, but the frequency of such instances is
not un ordinary but extraordinary feature.
I have instances in mind of girls w ho, realiz
ing that they had but a short period to go to
school, and because of the poverty of their
parents they must soon begin to earn their
bread, with commendable umbition and dili
gence labored with all their might to advance
as fast as possible; labored harder than some
others who learned easier; labored beyond
their strength until they w ere stricken dow n
from sheer brain and body exhaustion. One
of tlieso I had cautioned rein-atedly, and even
urged her to tako a rest for awhile.
'Sho was near graduation, and felt that
unless she coul 1 pass examinations then she
would never have another chance. rho
studied hard nv.d leuinou lowly and with
diili.uity, but was persistent and determined.
She was un unusually amiable, sweet tem
Iered, quiet girl, whom everybody loved. I
hud noticed her growing pal- aud thin, and
knew that she was straining hor mental
and physical powers in the contest for suc
cess. One day, in tho class room during re
citation, the book slipped from her hands,
she pressed her fingers against her temples,
and exclaiming in a lucnrnfid viee that 1
shall never forget; 'fin, Miss - , my head,
my head i' sank down in ,a faint. She was
taken homo and brain t.A'cr set, in, and on
tlir very day of the closing exercises of that
term sho was buried. She was undoubtedly
the victim of brain overwork. This was an ex
treme case, but 1 assure you that I have seen
many instances of girls injured for life from
tho same cause." Xw V i vi.a.-.

"I began my dancing career at t he pgo o

called, and went on laboring until I was hi.
At this age the primary education of an
pupil is generally U-ymt

thiscomo the rehearsals, the work done bo

'What pay do vu get at the Paris opera
for such hard work? The tariff varies with
tutf grado of tho dancer. The 'out' pupils, or
rats,' aro paid at tho rate of forty cents lor

to jCG,; the sujets, S'GO to .Ir.'O; tho dancers in
the first rank, $V20 to SUUO; and the 'stars,'

"Advancement comes very slowly. It u
considered a great thing to move up as I dil
t rem the second to the first quadrille. The
next step upward is to the envied position of
premiere corv-phee, po3sessing the superb
emoluments of $7-'0 a year. Finally, after
years and years of patient study, the dancing
girl attains tho summit of her ambition, and
rises into a petit sujet, which gives her an
individuality before tho footlights. It took
me fifteen years to reach this giddy height
of glory and pay, tho latter being $1,000 per
unnum.
4iStars seldom rise from tho ranks. The
Elssiers and Taglionis form a class apart.
"Some of the women who appear today in

Food for Xfrrons Patients.
Dr. Clouston iu the annual report of the
Edinburgh Royal asylum answers tho query
of Henry R. Johnson, of St. Louis as to the
use of milk aud eggs in tho cases of nervous
patients. He gives to such patients as many
as a dozen eggs, and as much as six or seven
pints of milk a day. When this form of
treatment ia associated with plenty of walk
ing exercise in the open Air, a great increase
of weight often takes place. "The greater
my experience becomes," 'writes Dr. Clous
ton, "I tend mora to substitute milk for
stimulants. I don't undervaluo tho latter in
suitable cases; but in tho very acute cases,
both in depression and maniacal exaltation,
where the disordered working of tho braia
tends rapidly to exhaust the strength, I rely
more and more on milk and eggs made Into
liquid custards. One such case this year got
eight pints of milk and sixteen eggs every
day for three months, and under this treat
ment recovered. I question whether ha would
have done so under any other.
"He was almost dead on admission, actually
delirious, absolutely sleeples3,aud very nearly
pulseless. It was a Laud to hand fight be
tween tha acute diso&sa in his brain and his
general vitality. If his stomach could not
have digested and his body assimilated
enough suitable nourishment, or if he could
not have been taken out freely into tho open
air, he must havo died. But today he ia ful
filling tho duties of his position as well as ha
ever did in hi-s life. AU acute mental dUeascs,
like most nervous diseases, tend to thinness
of body, and therefore all foods, aud ell treat
ments that fatten, are good. To my assist
ants, and curses, &ad patients I preach the
gospel of fatness as the great antidote to the
exhausting tendencies oX tho disease we have
to treat, and it would be well if all peopla of
nervous coustitutloa would obey this gospel."

Oootl Hearted Fellow Who "Will Ciivo
Hi Last Hollar."
A somewhat extended experieuco with
men, and an occasional woman, convinces
1110 that there is a; great a dilTerc nco in tho
methods of good men who desire to help
their fellows as there is between them and
bad men who strive constantly to hurt tin ir
brothers and sisters. Kvety man has his
own way. It is folly for writers in (he press,
for ministers in the pulpit, for public teach
ers in any forum whatever, to insist upon it
that their way is the only way. Hileetive
work is dono by upright engines, by hori
zontal engines, by oscillating engines. It is
by tho quality and quantity of e fleet pro
duced, not the manner in which the work is
done, men must be judged.
I look at doctors with wonder and awe. In
my judgment a doctor need:, (ir.-1 of all,
moral courage. It requires no verv great
degree of physiclal courage to ; tand before a
Jiau w hoso inflamed evo betokens the rage
i hat roers within him, because, being a man,
you naturally have no fear for another man
physically. Tho issue of the fight mu.-t bo

you, and, of course, you aro prepared to t.iko

which you naturally turn as from any other

11 fact that we aro all, in certain lines, unique,
peculiar, individual, it is equally 11 fact that
wo all represent great bodies of similarly
organized, identically developed men or wo
men, here, there aud everywhere. Some
peoplo say, "Oh, he's a good hearted fellow,
ho will give his last dollar."
Well, yes, but is it a good heart that gives
its last dollar, but would hesitate, even if ho
didn't refuse to givo literal, personal, indi
vidual, hand to hand, heart to heart, body to
body comforts? Recurring to the doctor
thought a moment, I don't believe it would
bo a physical possibility for mo, who have
pretty good control of my plsieal organs at
that, to make a practice of visiting hospitals,
of coming into personal contact with disease,
of upsetting my stomach by annoying my
nose. It is ono thing to draw a check an
send it by mail or messenger ; it is another
thing to go about doing good, visiting tho
sick, helping tho friendless, uplifting tho be
reaved, attending to the literal, physical
necessities of poor, dirty deve's in the very
gutters of humanity.
Talk about giving money as an evidence
of generosity. That's all nonsense. It all
depends upon circumstances. What sort of
generosity is it when you have 100 in 3rour
pocket and somebody comes along asking you
for five or ten, that you give it, without re
gard to anything under heavens except the
particular $100 you have in your pocket?
That $100 may belong to some creditor. You
may owe that money to some man to whom
its payment would be a positive relief. You
don't think of equities, you don't care tho
turn of your hand for your creditor; j-ou let
Erowne walk all over creation lather than
deprive yourself of a moment's comfort,
peace, happiness, luxury; yet because you
give five or ten dollars to some poor devil
who happens to want it, you aro credited tho
world around as being a generous hearted,
free handed man, who would givo his last
dollar to help a creature in distress.
You buy a paper of a newsboy. You hand
him a dime. Rather than be bothered to
wait for tho change," cr to have his dirty
little fists pawing over a handful of coin to
find tho change, you say, "Oh, keep it. Never
mind that." Why do you say it Are you
touched with pity for tho boy's necessities
Is it the logical sequence of any careful
thought, estimate, judgment of tho little
chap? Do you even go so far as to think
that it would please the boy? Not a bit of
it. It is, nine times out of ten, an inchoate
desire, an unthought of impulse to bo rid of
tho anno3ance of the boy and the unpleas
antness of his dirt; yet some benevolent old
lady, looking over her spectacles aud her
stomach, seeing you let the little boy go off
with five or six cents more than belong to
him, smiles all over with cherubic gleam,
and tells her family, whom she joins in hum
ble home that evening, about "the generous
man who gave five cents toa little newsboy."

'New Letter of Junius."
During the war of 1ST0 there was published
anonymously a brochure called "A Isew Let
ter of Junius,' tho author of which was M.
Alexandro Dumas, Jr., which contained thi
remarkablo prophecy concerning tho then
crown prince of Germany: "Anil when
Prince Fritz shall wish to resist tho current,
end shall say, 'But I, Lord, Lave alwa3'3
loved peace,' tho Lord shall answer him, bay
ing, 'I have declared equally guilty those
who do evil and those w ho permit ib to be
done in their sight. I have made thee hand
some and good, not solely that thou mightest
make reparation for the paternal crimes, but
that thou mightest prevent them. Thy pun
ishment shall bo to die without having done
good.' " Figaro.
A "Product for BuiUUnjj Paper.
Re-sin, as used iu building paper, is beiug
largely replaced by a itroleum product
called 'still wax," or wax tailings. An im
portant advantage in the usj of this petro
leum product, ia connection with paper and
fibrous substances, consists in its :ion-liability
to oxiJLza and thu3 produce spontaneous
combustion. Moreover, it is said to toughen
with ago, instead of growing more brittle,
llk'j resin and coal tar pitch. It i3 not more
combustible than resin; it burii3 slowly with
a dull Camo, producing immense quantities
of lampblack of Lno quality. It melts rap
idly at 200 degs. Fahr., and in ihat stato
combines perfectly with resin, asphaltum
and warm oiL Its iita is therefore expected
to increase largsly. Frank Leslie's.
