The crops are bounteous, the stock is healthy, sleek and well fed. and the list of premiums form an inducement that producers cannot afford to ignore. We have just been lancinjr over the Otoe county pre mium list and where exhibitors of hogs, cattle and many other things of interest are riven a diplo ma down there the Cass county Ag ricultural society pays handsome premiums in cash. Farmers will consult their own in terests if they have not seen a pre mium list by writing to or calling on David Miller, secretary at his of fice with Fred Gorder, for a list and then go to work and get your stock ready for exhibition. Let us take more interest in our fair and build up an exposition to be proud of. Good Crop. Mr. Davidson a reliable commerci al tourist in the employ of the Enip kie Hardware company of Council liluffs has been traveling over Ne braska constantly for the last twelve years and has resided in this state for the last thirty-one years gives us his version of the crop out look. He says that he traveled with team over the maior portion of York, Hamilton, Polk, liutler and reward counties last weeK and in all his thirty-one years experience he never saw as good a small grain harvest as tlie present one, and while corn is fully two weeks later than usual, it is clean, thrifty and shows a good stand and bids fair to make a remarkadly heavy crop. Mr. Davidson says the reprt of traveling men all over the state is of the same import. He says crops are better in western Nebraska than they are in eastern owing to the'r bounteous rains and stronirer soil. Platumouth Wa In It The It.

CoLKMAX, Adj't. Howa King Kei-p Cool. The King of Siam is said to have in one of his country palaces a wonderful pavilkai. It was built by a Chinese engineer as a refuge fr the King during the extreme heat of the summer. The walls, ceilings, and floors are formed of pieces of plate g'ass an inch thie Th.-sear.- s perfectly fitted together with a transparent cement that the joints are invisible and no fluid can penetrate. The pavilion is L'S feet long aud 17 wide, and stands in the middle of a huge basin made of beautiful colored marbles. When the Kingenters the pavilion the single door is closed anil ce mented. Then the sluiC' gates are opened and the basin is tilled with water. Higher and higher it raises until the pavilion is covered and only the i'ii ti la tors at the top con nect it wiiii t!i.' open air. When the heat of I he sun is so great that the water al most boils on the surface of tlie' freshest fountains, this pavilion is del iciously cool. And that is the way the King of Siam cools himself oil" m the hot wether. It sounds very delightlul. From Harpers Young people. UNCLE SAM'S FISH DISPLAY. The Worlds Fair wll have the Greatest Aquarium ever Constructed The fish exhibit at the World's Columbian Exposition is to be a wonderful one, and not the least interesting portion of it. naturally, will be the aquarial or live fish display. This will be contained in a circular building, 135 feet in diam eter, standing near one extremity of the main Fisheries budding, and in a great curved corridor connecting the two. In the center of the circular build- imrwil'.bea lotunda s-xty feet in diameter, in the middle of wh'ch will be a basin or pool about twenty six feet wide from which will arise a towering mass of rocks covered whh moss and lichens. From c efis and crevices' in the rocks crystal streams of water will irush and drop o the massesVd reeds, rushes, and ornamental semi-aqatic plants m tlie Oasm oeiow. in tins pool gorgeous gold fishes golden ides, golden trench, and other fishes will disport. From the rotunda one side of the larger series of aquaria may be viewed. Thesevrill be ten in number and will have a capacity of seven thousand to twenty-seven thousand gallons of water. by Highway Robbery. F A. Creamer and Mr. Klein of Ashland brought i a man to-day who attempted to hold a hired man near South Hend last evening. The robber only got 23 cents but if he had persisted he might have got $100 as that amount was held by- would be victim. He now awaits trial and boards with Sheriff Tighe. Passing out of the rotunda the enirances a great corridor or gal!e;y is reached where on one hand can be viewed the opposite side of the other a iine of tanks and somewhat smaller, ranging from 750 to 1,500 gallons each in capacity The corridor or gallery is about fifteen feet wide. The entire length of the glass ironts ot tlie aquaria will be about 575 feet or over 3.CC0 souare feet of surface. They will l make a panorama never before seen in any exhibition, and will rival the great permanent aquariums Oi the world not only in'f'side but in all other respects. The total watercapacity of the aquaria, exclusive ot reservoirs, will be 18,725 cubic feet, or 140.01 ) gallons. This will weigh 1,192,425 pounds, or almost 690 tons. Of this amount about 40.0C0 gallons will be devoted to the marine exhibit. In the entire salt water circulation, in cluding reservoirs, there will be about H0.C0O gallons. The pumping and distributing plant for the mar ine aquaria will be constructed of valcanite. The pumps will be in duplicate and will each have a capacity of 3,000 gallons per hour. The supply of sea water will be secured by evaporating the necessary quality at the Woods Hill station of the United Slates Fish commission to about one-fifth its bulk, thus reducingboth quanity and weight for transportation about 80 per cent. The fresh water re quired to restore it to its proper density will be supplied from Lake Michigan. In transporting the marine fishes to Cfiicago from the coast there will also be an addition of probably 3,000 gallons of pure sea water to the suppply on each trip. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

Lady Maedonald's article is written iu t ha t del i gh t f u ! fresh and unconventional manner of which we see so little in our modern liter ature, and which possesses such a charm. Annie R. Ramsey has some very timely "Hints on Mountain Climbing"; Kate Tannatt Woods treats a new sebject in telling wnat "Tiie Girls off to HtKirding' School" should take with her; the poet Tennyson's wife is sketched in the series oi "Unknown Wives of Well-Knovvn Men"; a very- helpful handful of articles are those which treat of all Hie "Summer Ills and Sumiuer Dangers"; the different "Types of American Girls" are treated by four able writers; Jeaiinette L. Giider has a clever charater-sketch in "Pepper Hash"; Kllen Lc Gradd shows the benefits of "Swimniii!-. for Girls"; Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney's and Jessie O'Donnell's series are continued; Dr. Talmage writes his month from seashore home; Hesse kiah Hutterworth and Robert J Burdette tell some "Bright Thing. for Hoys" Mrs. Millou has the best Fashion articles supported by any magazine; Maria Parlor and Juliet Ciirson give some Dainties for flu summer table; little ivlsie lvesiie writes of "Children on the Stage"; and all thought this number there is the birth of summer and the strength of merit.

The disease prolacin;? bacteria may be killed by a current f electricity, an has U-en i-hown by exieriiiient3 with butt! of water containing tlieiu. Hy passing the current from n battery thrn'U'h a loop of wire f-tispcinled in tie? waver it was found that a hinall voltage was Miflieient to deprive tho most active, bacteria of life. The consumption ba cillus ilieil under two and a quarter volts, while other more hardy Hpecie could not survive more than throe volts and h half. Unfortunately, this electrical method would be too expensive and troublesome for the householder to pursue. It is sug gested, therefore, that cities or water companies t.liall perform the entiro task. delivering the water to consumers in a condition guaranteed harmless. Accord ing to tho plan proposed the killing of the microhm is to bo accomplished at tho reservoir. Nothing could bo easier tlifi to apply the energy of a battery by a "urreiit at one place in tho supply pi s s to kill with absolute certainty every microbe that passed through in thullow ing water. A dynamo with a capacity of 1,0(V) rolts would do tho work perfectly fur tlie biggest possible pipe, hlaying nil tho bacteria going through and rendering innocuous all the millions of gallons daily that a metropolis consumes. All that is necessary is that a length of th.j pipe shall bo made of insuiated material, and through holes in its 6ides will be in serted wires representing tho poles of tho battery positive on one side and nega tive on the other. Set tho dynamo going, and tho current springs through tho wa ter, filling it with powerful electric waves necessarily fatal to all living or ganisms floating in tho stream. New York Telegram.

Tho colored charts show us where wo may most probably dwell with malaria, with consumption or with general debility. We study, also, the adaptability of plants to differ ent climatic conditions. But our knowl edge of the relation of man to climate is still far from scientific -that is to say, of the influence of climate upon charac ter and conduct. To come to a detail, what, for instance, do we know of trie effect of climate upon veracity. There are portions of the earth's surface where the inhabitants regard truth as a luxury seldom to be indulged in; in others the mind seems rather inclined to truthfulness. Whether the difference is owing to race or climate our observations do not yet enable us to determine. There is a popular notion that the habit of prevari cation goes along with warmth, or with a debilitating atmosphere, and that cold is a tonic, a sort of stimulant for truth fulness. We indeed have in the "the cold truth" a recognition of this. We say that the northern latitudes nurse the rugged virtue of veracitv. Charles Dudley Warner in Harper's. The Secret of Good mountain CIimbinc. the secret of the climbing of the hunt ers is that they trust their feet as much as their hands. To plant their nailed 6hoe is all they ask in any place. They go steadily, but slowly, and rest often bo as to avoid climbing when exhausted or breathless. A tired or winded man will tumble, slip and be in danger where he would pats easily when fresh. Th apprentice in this particular hunt found the greatest difficulty in crossing a chaos. A chaos is a steep sloje covered with blocks of stone ranging from a hundred pounds to many tons. There are ugly holes, big and little, between them. Their edges are gener ally sharp. To the rapid passer, as he looks down at his feet, they appear without exception, very sharp. In addi tion, some of them are "wobblers." The duffer passed several unpleasant quarters of an hour in following the hunter, ex cited by the proximity of game, over these places, and will always carry on his leg a souvenir of one of them. Paul van Dyke in Scribner's. Common Serine Iu Bicycle Hiding. Regarding pneumatic tires, the editor of the cycling department in Outin" says: "There is no doubt about it but that a better air valve must be devised made with an airtight cap which can not be detached. Some such device I hear has been tried in its experimental stages, and when completed it will be a vast improvement on the crude valve now generally in use. Dealers must take pains to instruct purchasers of pneu matic tires how to inflate and to what tension the heavier the man the harder the tension. Riders must use brains and common sense and not be afraid to take a bit of trouble if they would get the ucoi, lecuiis out, oi a pneumatic tire." '1 !
