Headquarters Anti-Saloon Repob lican League, Lincoln, NebMaj 29. The loyal republican 6hould not be alarmed at the heading e-f this address. The organization known as the Anti-Saloon Republican League is thoroughly loyal to the party. It is an organization within the party to assist it in carying out its declared will. Its founders weie the stalwarts of the stalwarts, and it num bers among its hearty endorsers such Re publicans as Judge Noah Dayis and Sen ator Evarls of New York; Senator Win doui of Minnesota; Senators Hale and Frey of Maine; Senators Allison and "Wilson of Iowa; Senator Sherman of Ohio; Senator Piatt of Connecticut; Sen ator Harrison of Indiana; Senator Chase of Rhode Island; Senators Edmunds and Morrill of Vermont; Senator Blair of New Hampshire; Scnntors Hoar and Dawes of Massachusetts; The Hon. Theo dore Roosevelt and Ex-Postmaster Gen eral Thomas L. James of New York. The Republican party is and always has been one of progress and reform. This league will keep the party, as it al ways lias been, in the front rank; it A'ould keep it in honor, in truthfulness and in that self-respect that would command the admiration and devotion of the thous ands of young men who yearly receive the right of the elective franchise. It would try to counteract the baoeful influence of the saloon in politics. The last State Convention passed tho following resolution : Kesolred, That the State Central Com mittee be instructed to embrace in its call for the next State Convention the submis sion of the prohibition question t the voters at the Republican primaries. There is no question but that this sub mission will be made as promised. We have the assurance of the executive committee to this effect. One object of this League is to see that this question is properly presented to the people and cor rect returns made of the vote thereon. We present you these facts regarding our organization and ask your co-operation. As a national organization its aims and objects are expressed in the following: declaration of principles. First We regard the saloon as the common and malignant foe of civiliza tion and humanity, and as a public en emy it ought, to be abolished. Second We hail with great satisfac tion the rapid growth of the anti-saloon republicans of the country. Third Recognizing the practical diffi culty of temperance legislation and en forcement, we unite upon the broa;l ground of active hostility to the saloon, without dictating methods of procedure. Tb.3 people have the right and should Lave the opportunity ot deciding how and when the saloon shall be suppressed. Fourth As members of the republican party, we are proud of its glorious patt, rejoice in its present vigor, and have an abiding confidence that it will prove to be the agent of Divine Providence for the destructien of the saloon, as it was for the overthrow of slavery. The sa loon is moral slayery. Fifth Speaking for an overwhelming majority of republican voters and good citizens we ask the national republican convention to incorporate in their plat form a declaration of hostility to the salocn. Sixth We ask the active co-operation of all friends of temperance on this plan of campaign. To this platform we commend your earnest consideration. If the principles therein enunciated meet your approval please say so and become one of us that these doctrines may prevail. Organize leagues. If there arc but n half dozen, no matter, perfect your or ganization and make your reports to C. A. Atkinson, Secretary, Lincoln, Nebras ka. Be active, the half dozen will prov a nucleus and larger organizations will be the result. It is the purpose to hold a state con vention of leagues in Lincoln, early in August. Organize that you may Live representation. We can carry this question in the iiext legislature if we are act i ye. Thorough organization and effective work will ac complish this result. executive committee: Chas. A. Robbins, President: E. T. Hartley, A. O. Greenlee, John M. Cotton, L. W. Garoutte, William Fullerton, O. B. Polk, Vice Presidents; Chas. A. Atkin son, Secretary; John Gillespie. Treasurer; A, 8. Raymond, John M. Stewart, Web ster Eaton, Walter J. Lamb. Tub delay in confirming Mr. Fuller as Chief Justice does not imply that he is likely to be rejected; but it goes to show that the senate is not enamored with his anti-war record. It is becoming more apparent every day that the Chicago and Rock Island railroad intends at no distant day to en ter the state of Nebraska, either by erod ing the river at Omaha or Plattsmouth, thence to Lincoln and the west. The re cent businees arrangements entered into between the M. P. and B. & M. are prov ing detrimental to the interests of the Rock Island, as effecting its share of the traflic from west of the Missouri river, hence she must move to protect herself. If the business men of Plattsmouth rustle and move at ooce to properly present the inducements for striking this point, we we may within a year from now boast ot three railroads, with an assured popula tion within a reasonable time, of 50,000 inhabitants, for there is hardly a doubt among those who are in a position to knew the facts, but that the Missouri Pa cific will close the gap between Union and South Omaha within the next six months. The Lincoln board of trade now has a couimitte at work looking to their interests, let the Plattsmouth board ol trade do likewise. An Explanation. What is this "nervous trouble" with which so many seem now to be alllictcd? If you will remember a few years ago the word Malaria was comparatively un known, today it is as common as any word in the English language, yet this word covers only the mtaning of another word used by our forefathers in times past. So it is used with nervous diseases, as they and Malaria are intruded to cover what our grandfathers called Biliousness, and all arc caused by troubles that arise from a diseased condition of the Liver which in performing its functions finding it cannot dispose of the bile through the ordinary channel is compelled to pass it off through the system causing nervous troubles, Maluria, Bilious Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well appreci ate a cure. We recommend Green's Au gust Flower. Its cures are marvelous. -muting to Parent. A girl is never so safe as when, with proper education of the affections, she lias no secrets from her mother or father in matters that vitally concern her welfare. When she de parts from that course and consigns her fata to others no more sensible than herself, and perhaps less scrupulous, the danger line has been passed, and Uod knows what calamity is just ahead. No daughter will ever regret trusting to her pareuts in all essential mat ters, and many daughters live remorsefully or are the tenants of early graves, because, in a moment of misguided passion, they followed the dead reckoning or the betraying beacon that always leads to wreck.

There is almost no limit to what you can teach yourself, if you try long enough. Time must always be given to the brain, and on this condition patient perseverance will carry a student to almost any goal Hur rying the little brains of children is to force a false pace except with the obviously lazy; but the bugbear of overpressure need not be feared 89 long as the principles controlling the health of the body generally is observe!. Overpressure often means under feeding. Bleep is the rest of the brain, its great rest. A variation in work, a change of subject, is another kind of rest, the best rest often for the higher or intellectual centers; and an im mense amount of mental labor can be safely undertaken, if sufficient variety is securetL But in the end the brain demands sleep, and this is especially the case when the lower or more animal centers have been much used, as in children at play. Habit has a great deal to do with insuring a good night's rest, tho habit of going to bed at a regular hour. Hard mental work up to the moment of retiring may cause the loss of a night's rest, and it is a good plan to in dulge in a little relaxation before bedtime, like a piece of light literature, a game, or some music. Trivial things may win slum ber, such as lowering tho pillow or turning its cold side; but artificial means of distract ing thought have nearly invariably proved totally useless. Children require more sleep than grown people. A healthy baby for the first two months or so spends most of its ti mo asleep. After that a baby should have at least two hours of sleep in the forenoon and one hour in the afternoon; and it is quite possible to teach almost any infant to adopt this as a regular habit Even to the ago of 1 or 5 years a child should have one hour of sleep, or at least rest in bed, before its din ner; and it should be put to bed at 0 or 7 in the evening, and left undisturbed for twelve or fourteen hours. Up to the loth year most young people require ten hours, and to the 20th year nine hours. After that age every ono finds out how much he or she requires, though as a geucral rule at least six to eight hours ai o necessary. Eight hours' sleep will prevent more nervous derangements iu women than any medicines can cure. During growth there must be ample sleep, if the brain is to develop to its full extent; and the more nervous, excitable or precocious a child is, the longer sleep should it get, if its intellec tual progress Is not to come to a premature stand still, or its life be cut short at an early age. The period ot full maturity with its maximum of mental activity is tho period of minimum demand for tlaep; but old age reverts to the habit of childhood, and passes much of its time incumber. C. F. Pollock, IL D., iu The Chautahquan. Th Partridge ma m Dmmmer. During the tune the hen was laying her eggs and setting, he often gave ua the "stormy music of his drum." It was small trouble to arrange bushes on a fence near by so that one could creep up un seen and get a full view of the pal lan t thunderei perched on a knotty old hem lock log. mossy, and half burled In the ground; and "children of a larger growth, " as well as the boys and girls availed themselves of the opportunity Of the many who saw him In the act of drumming, I do not recall one who had a correct idea beforehand of tho way In which the "partridge thunder" Is pro ditced. It was supposed to be made by tho striking of the bird's wings either against the log or against his body; whereas It was now plainly to bo seen that the performer stood straight up, like a junk bottle, and brought his wings in front of him with quick, strong strokes, smiting nothing but the air not even his "own proud breast," as one distinguished observer has suggested. Wilson thinks tho drumming may be heard nearly half a mile. He might safely have doubled the distance; though, when we consider the low pitch. B flat, second line In bass staff, the fact Is surprising. The tones somewhat resemble those of any deep drum, being very deceptive as to distance, often sounding near when far off, and for off when near. I would de scribe the drumming as a succession of thumps, the first dozen of which may be counted. The first two or three are soft and com paratively slow; then they Increase rapidly in force and frequency, rushing onward Into a furious whir, the whir subsiding into a sudden but graduated diminish. The entire power of the partridge must be thrown into this exercise. His appearance immediately afterward attests this, as well as the volume of sound; for he drops into the forlornest of attitudes, looking a3 if he would never move again. In a few minutes, however, perhaps five, he begins to have nervous motions of the head; up, up it goes, and his body with it, till he is perfectly erect legs, body, neck and alL And then for the thunder once more. Simeon Pease Cheney in The Century. Deception of the Senses. The senses are subject to illusions in proportion to the remoteness of tho infor mation that they give from the immedi ate necessities of the organism. Touch, the most immediate and least inferential of the senses, is least subject to illusions; while sight is so very much so that the blind often say they have an advantago over the seeing In being free from visual illusions. The illusions of bodily motion are much nearer to those of touch than to those of sight, and yet they can under certain conditions be induced through visual impressions. Of this the writer has recently had two Interesting examples. Ho was standing upon the floor of a railroad depot, th boards of which were laid with a consid erable open space between them; and the shadow of an electric light was moving up and down, by the swinging of the light in the wind. Looking . at the floor, it seemed as though the shadow were sta tionary, and the floor boards moving. From this it followed that the person on it was moving too, and the writer dis tinctly felt the swinging sensation; in fact, his attention was called to the phe nomenon by this feeling of motion. Tho other observation was as follows: While riding in the cars and looking ont of the window, the trees and all are seen to move in the opposite direction. If, now, one looks in a mirror so situated that it reflects the passing landscape, which, however, must not be visible except in the mirror, oue has the illusion of moving in tho opposite to tho real direction of motion, owing to the reversal of the image in the glass. In both these cases an immediate bodily sensation is induced by a more or less unconscious inference through visual sensations. American Analyst. Taper for Cigarette Slaking;.

T!: IT.e of 'pi'ct::c'rs. A vast amount of popular misapprehen sion a:id prejudice exists as to the use of spectacles Many persons who need them object to wearing them for various rcr. sor.ri Some fear that it will Lad their friends to suspect that they are potting o!J Others t!;i!:!: it will ru;e them to be suspected of wishing to appear learned or cultured Some persons c!o not want to begin to wear them lest, having ac quired tho habit, they may not bo able to leavo them oil or to scj well without them. Other3, again, object to glasses only on account of their inconvenience. I have personally met with many of all these classes of persons, but I have fre quently heard of another class that I have never met w ith, namely, those who do not need glasses, but who wear them just for effect and to attract attention. Now, tho simple truth is that there are just two good reasons for wearing spectacles, and only two. One is that we may seo better, the other Is that our eyes may bo relieved of strain. Often both these reasons ore combined in the same case. Professor David Webster, M. D. Cotliam'a Italians Becoming Civilized. Sergeant Young of the Elizabeth street station is tho authority for the assertion that the Italian colony of tho old bloody Sixth ward is rapidly becoming civilized. "At one time," ho remarked tho other evening, "nearly all Italians in the ward had daggers and stilettoes. They were made out of rat toil files or anything that could bo Gled to a point. Now the pistol and razor are good enough for them. They are particularly partial to razors. When an Italian is arrested nowadays and a razor is found on him he explains by say ing that he wanted it for a shave." New York Sun. A STORY OF EDEN. In some forgotten chronicle of old Thi torr I hare read, And I have heard It said floscttl wept when he had heard it told: Wlieu Eve from Eden forced bad turned her face To pity them Inclined God made within her mind Grow dim the memory of that blissful place. Then during many after days of toil Children of earth were born Who knew not of that morn Before In sweat they learned to till the soli. They were contentcontented with their lot; Porn to return to dust. They lived, as live they must, Contented, for of Eden they knew not. Thus God with mercy tempered what seemed hate. So thut men knowing not Their former bli&ful lot They should uot utterly be desolate. But after many years a child was born, A child unlike the rest; And when unto her breast Eve pressed it, then she wept, a child forlorn. . "Better," she said, "this child were In Its grave. For in his longing eyes Glimpses of paradise And long forgotten trees of Eden wave." And everlasting is our mother's pain. For oft at eve or morn Some poet child is born Who hears those sounds of Eden once again. Iienuett Bellman. A Very Palnfnl "Rreafclnjr Out." The New England deacon of the olden time was gifted with piety, good sense and an epigrammatic way of speaking. In the "Traditions of the Bellows Family" mention is made of a Deacon Foster, of Walpole. who proposed to an aged widow by offering "to go the rest of the way to heaven with her." The offer was accepted. One morning he rode up to the door of a lady in great haste, and told her that a neighbor, Mrs. Carter, was in sore trouble, as she had been violently taken with "a serious and painful breaking out about her mouth." The lady at once went to the neighbor's house, and discovered Mrs. Carter going about her duties, and nothing unusual on her face. Surprised, she told her of the deacon's message. "Well," answered Mrs. Carter, "I know what he meant. When he came this morning, I was giving Ben Carter a piece of my mind for his carelessness, and the good deacon thought my temper made my speech a little unscriptural." Youth's Companion. Modern Improvements In Devotion. A friend of mine has a telephone in his East End residence. Likewise he pos sesses a little daughter, some 4 years of age, of winning ways, sweet face, and artfully artless manners. When bedtime came a few nights ago tho mother of this little maid could not find her. She was not in the nursery; and carrying on the search her mother reached tho landing on tho stairs. There she stayed a moment, and, listening, heard the babe's voice in the hall below. Look ing over tho banisters she was surprised to see tiny Miss Mable standing on a hall chair and talking into the telephone in a loud voice. "Hello! Hello! Hello, Central!" the child was saying in exact imitation of her father's manner. "Hello, Central! Give me heaven, 1 want t'say my prayers!" Pittsburg Dispatch. Be Was Much Relieved.

"Madam," the needy ono said, with the uir of a man who was telling the truth, "I do not lie to you; it has been forty eight hours since I tasted food." "Poor man! I am sorry for you. You must get something to eat. Forty-eight hours without food!" "I tell you the truth, madam," he said, gratefully pocketing the quarter.
