uer: nud while we deny that new
papers as a rule voluntarily mid
with premeditation wilfully mis

often in dealing with the fau'U o

in other words, attempt to court
their friendship and yet turret

Btrikea out boldly, courting on

that exulted position, as a swayer ol

it id justly entitled.
Hut we are here reminded of an
old mid familiar saying"thoe
who live in glass houses should
never throw stones." It is true
that the ministry, often times, (joes

Hut these eases are extremes.

dispense with the press they would
cast aside the most wonderful de
vice for the promulgation of
thought ever devised among men;

strength mid persistence of its in

tile prairies of the northwest, in re
sponse to the industry of the tanner,
nre yielding bountifully of their
richness with the prospect for an in
creased demand in foreign countries
brought about by the partial fail
ure of crops there, and by the ex
tending of our market by reciptocal
trade relations established, insure
for our farmers a ready market for
their surplus products at greatly
increased prices. The merchant
will then prosper as there will be
an incrased demand for merch
andise owing to the ubilty of the
fanner to meet his desires. The
farmer can employ more laborers
at better prices, the merchant will
need more assistance and in fact
all iudiistr.es, inasmuch all, to a
great extent depend upon the far
mer, can alTorfl to give better em
ployment to labor, and prosper in
every particular.
Our City School.
The school buildings are under
going a process of repairs in order
to be ready for more effective work
during the. coming term. We are
authoritatively informed that the
high school in particular is receiv
ing some much needed additions.
For some time the work of the high
school has been hampered some
what, owinir to a lack of the neces-
sary apparatus in the scientific de
partment; but modern appliances
have been added to the labratory
placing our school on uu equal foot
ing with the average institution of
the country. Those desiring to be
come more proficient in the ele
ments of the sciences and prepare
foracolleire course, will doubtless
be afforded the opportunity.
While the managers are capable
of providing attractions for our
county fair and really have al
ready assured us that no pains will
be spared to make the fair the best
ever held, yet we are led to suggest
that a game of ball between the
Plattstnouths and some live team
would be one of the best possible
attractions. We believe in a vari
ety, in order to add spice to the
occasion, and doubtless this feature
would draw many visitors.
The following is offered as a cure
for tattlers: Take one pound of
root called think twice, one pound
of speak once weed, and a sprig of
let-alone-other-people's-b u s i n e s s,
and a sufficient quantity of fluid ex
tract of discretion, steep the whole
in a pot of modesty, and it is ready
for use. Dose: One teaspoonful
just before speaking of your neigh
bors. It can be used by ladies and
gentlemen in any condition of
health without the slightest injury.
It would be a very good idea to
sprinkle your handkerchief and put
a few drops on your conscience just
before visiting your neighbor. It
works like a charm. If you are a

BLINDNESS AMONG HORSES.
IU Cause and Something; About Preeo
tlnn anil l'romr Treatment.
It has been stated that blindness is
more prevalent among horses in America
than among those of other countries. If
this is the case the causes of the evil
should be Investigated and removed if
possible without delay. It is the fact
that blindness is more prevalent aniony
horses in Ohio than those of any other
section of the country. The cases of
blindness are attributed in a great meas
ure to overfeeding, the Ohio horses be
ing notoriously fat. It is a common
practice to force the fat upon horses in
tended for sale by stuffing them princi
pally with Indian corn, and keeping V.:m
without service in warm, close Btaf ies.
This method of feeding Boon fatams
horse, but at the same time its digestive
functions are injured by the treatment.
It is uow believed that blindness can be
traced to a sympathetic relation between
disorder of the digestive organs und the
brain, and that through the latter the
optic nerve becomes diseased and ends
in destroying the vision. Blindness is
also frequently transmitted to offspring,
and thus an evil, first originating in dis
ease, almost becomes a natural defect by
hraditary descent Errors in feeding
ho.-sti as is well known, also produce
blind staggers and organic disease of the
brain, therefore the greatest care should
be exercised in feeding them.
In order to prevent the spread of horse
blindness it is recommended that when
ever the animal shows the least symp
toms of the disease it Bhoul J be kept on
a light diet of hay and oats. A horse
may be maintained in good condition on
twelve pounds of hay and five pounds of
oats for daily feed. In breeding horses
it is also recommended that all aniuiuls
showing the least symptoms of organic
disease be rejected.
One of the first symptoms incident to
blindness, which any person may readily
notice, is the disposition of the animal
to raise his forelegs unnecessarily high,
while, at the same time, the ears are
drawn back and forth in quick succes
sion, and thus giving sure evidence that
the sagacious animal is sounding the
ground over which he travels. These
are the principal ideas advanced by most
veternarians respecting the cause of prev
alent horse blindness in our country and
a mode of arrestiug the spread of the
evil. There are some other causes of
this disease which appear more evident,
any of which are perfectly capable of
removal. Blind horses are more com
mon in cities than in the rural districts.
This is principally caused by bad sta
bles. Many of them are underground
cellars, and with few exceptions all
stables are too small. They do not ad
mit a sufficient quantity of fresh air for
ventilation and respiration, and this al
ways tends to injure the health of the
animals. Light is as esseutial to the
health of horses as that of men, and yet
most stables are nearly as dark as dun
geons. It would be far better for most
of the horses in our cities to be kept in
open sheds than in the stables commonly
provided for them.
1 am also positive that eyeblinds on
the harness tend to injure the eyes of
horses, and as they are totally useless
aud unsightly appendages they should
be abandoned entirely. The open bridle
has become more common, but it should
be universal. Tight, close collars, which
squeeze the eyes of horses in putting
them on, arc. also very injurious to the
eyes of the animals. I have known one
case of permanent injury to the eves of
an excellent horse from this cause. Car
riage and draft horses should be pro
vided with divided collars, secured either
at the top or bottom, so that they are not
required to be forced over the heads of
the animals. New York World.
Uow to Tell Iron from Steel.
A writer in the Glasgow Engineer, in
pointing out some of the most practica
ble data in testing iron and steel, lays
down a simple rule to start with name
ly, that in any case where a fracture of
iron gives long, silky fibers of a leaden
hue, the fibers cohering and twisting to
gether before breaking, it may be con
sidered a tough, soft iron. Further, a
medium, even grain, mixed with fibers,
is a good sign, while a short and black
ish fiber indicates badly refined iron, a
very fine grain also denoting a hard and
steely iron, which is apt to be cold short
and hard to work with the file. Again,
coarse grain with a brilliant crystallized
fracture and yellow or brown spots, de
notes a brittle iron, cold short, working
easily when heated and welding well.
Nitric acid will produce a black spot
on steel the darker the spot the harder
the steel while iron, on the contrary,
remains bright if touched with that acid.
Good stet:) in its soft state has a curved
fracture and a uniform gray lustre, but
in its hard state a dull, silvery, uniform
white; again, good steel will bear a
white heat without falling to pieces, and
will crumble under the hammer at a
bright heat, while at a middling heat it
may be drawn out under the hammer to
a fine point
The Marvelous Power of Tree Growth.
Washington and Independence squares
give illustrations of the wonderful power
of tree growth. In 1883 the commis
sioner of city property took up with the
good idea of naming the trees. It was
shown that the growth of the trees would
either force the labels from their staples
or else cause them to stand out in a hori
zontal line. The commissioner at once
had the staples drawn, but for all this in
some cases the labels have been torn
from their hinges, while others stand
out from the trunks as if they were in
tended as platforms for birds to rest on.
The soft cells, as soft and tender as a
mushroom when growing, have yet
power enough with ease to lift these
metallic plates by the edge aud force
them into a horizontal position. Any
one could lift one of these to such a posi
tion if the finger could bo gotten for a
half inch under the plate, but imagine
the force which a sort of yeast like sub
stance must possess, which, getting un
der but perhaps the sixteenth or eighth
of an inch, can yet elevate the plHte to a
ptwfeotly horizontal line! Thomas Mee
han in Philadelphia Ledger.

iHE OPPORTUNITY OF A

Among other reasons why it is
better to invest in South l'ark than

Property is more saleable if you

city will compare with it in prospect
The nth ward composed largely of
South l'ark, less than three years

has been less than two years since
the city invited us into the corpor
ate limits, yet we have over one hun
dred newly built house ond others

with few exceptions, by the parties
now living in them.

riattsmouth's steady growth for
five years past almost doubling its

has taken regarding public im
provements, the certainty of a new
$80,000 court house; the completion
of the great Missouri Pacific rail
way into this city, giving us anoth
er great trunk line and competing
market; the constant increasing
pay roll of the C. R & y. shops, to
gether with many other well known
reasons, assure a steady and perma
nent advance in realty, which will
doubtless effect South Park more
favorably than any other portion of
Plattsmouth.
With a view to the encouragement of
a still greater growth of thin part of
the city, we will continue to sell lots on
monthly payments, furnish money
with which to erect houses will cx-
change Ms for other improved city
property or for desirable improved or
unimproved lands.
It is not so much the speculator
as the permanent resident that we
wish to purchase this disirable
property. Out of over eighty pres
ent owners of South Park

hence there are no iictitous values
and lots are selling at about the
price they were inimcdiatly after

why the present is a most desirable
